Activate/Deactivate Menu by Hardware Menu button. about faceslim HOT 3 CLOSED

Not since 2012 :)

I follow latest trends so hardware menu button support is not in my plans.

Are you planning to add an action bar ?

Because from what I gather through the article, they are not really removing the menu button. They are only removing the developer's reliance on it. They are only changing the way developers think. Whatever you add to the action bar/ action overflow, gets displayed when you click the overflow button on the action bar as well as when when you click the hardware menu button. That way, the developer programs the menu once. And it gets used in a uniform way, regardless of whether the device has a hardware menu button or not, but enhancing the experience when it does have a hardware button.

( Also, strange to find even stock Android apps including the browser and Chrome of Android 4.4.2 reacting and depending on the menu button, and not having an action bar. I wish they follow their own guidelines)

Action bar is in that case a waste of space. Just use swipe gesture to open
the menu. It's a popular gesture and you can even configure the edge of the
screen with the menu.

Traditional, modern menus are made that way too. You can either tap the
action bar to open a menu or just swipe.

I hid the action bar but the gesture works. It's easy, intuitive and
awesome. Way better than tapping somewhere to open the menu :)
