Help android settings menu not working as expected

[archz2]

Today, I installed marshmallow aosp beta 2 on my lenovo a7000 phone. Ever since, my settings menu i.e. the context menu that opens on pressing the context menu button on the phone does not open settings or context menu. It just shows up the recently opened application windows. How to fix it?

My phone has three buttons below the screen

settings button - i.e. the context menu
home button
back button

Because marshmallow doesn't have a settings button. The buttons on Marshmallow are recent apps, home and back. It has been this way since Lollipop. The ROM you added just followed this.

Apart from on Samsungs where long pressing the recent apps button does give a context/settings menu...

But what is the alternative for it or any xposed module that bypasses this restriction? I tried gravity box tweaks but they did not change a thing. I found it really hard to open my preferences panel of titnaium backup that are usually accessed by pressing the menu button. I had to hunt really hard for it under "Facing problems" button.

Have no idea really. Your phone isn't very popular and even Samsung ditched the menu button.

Okay, thanks for the information.
