A number of users have been wanting to swap their menu and back softkeys... I believe it's handy for left-handed people who have smaller hands and can't reach the opposite button. So here's how you do it
1) Root phone
2) Using a root file explorer, navigate to /system/usr/keylayout.
3) Open the file Generic.kl
4) Make the following change:
LOCATE line
REPLACE with
LOCATE line
REPLACE with
Save the file Generic.kl, and reboot the phone. Your buttons are now swapped.
I have not provided an "update.zip" to do this, because lately far too many people are relying on one-click methods, and don't know how to make changes themselves, and "devs" don't document these methods for future. So please don't go making a flashable zip and posting it...
