but in xperia play is a big problem because it has a menu button specifically for games and its anoying to press back button
Even other devices have a "soft" menu key (Nexus 4 in my case) that you still have showing up, and it gives the "bump" vibration when hitting it, and yet it does nothing. Just have it do the same thing as the "back" button if necessary, but until I searched, I thought that the menu was broken entirely. It didn't even occur to me to think of hitting the "back" button for the menu.
We actually re-added a function to the menu key, now it opens the Options screen as by Android good practices!
However I'm still undecided if we should really open that one, or just the generic menu.
I vote the normal menu. Menu button = menu. I'm perfectly OK with and think it's a great idea to make the back button also bring it up, under the "back is like the Esc key" idea, but essentially just make both events do the same thing, go to the menu.
We removed it, most new Android devices have no "menu" button and there's no point in having two buttons that do the same thing 🙂
