Maybe you can try the JB build by Quarx, i don't remember which one, but one of them has the possibility to activate the ICS on screen buttons, check the thread of JB in Android Development.
Here is the link:

unfortunately, my defy 4 android buttons are not working suddently...
but my screen have no crack,
I am using the ICS on-screen button( can customize on-screen button )
frist , your device must running CM9 or CM10
second, if there are no option for on-screen with your ROMs, ( setting > system )
flash the following zip file with recovery mode,

@OP - did you replace the screen yourself? If so did you apply the adhesive to behind the 4 buttons?
I almost made that mistake myself last night..

Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I was messing around on my gtablet, and it was somewhat dark so i couldn't see the capacitive buttons, which made me mistakenly keep touching them. It really got on my nerves, so i went in and found a way to disable them. I searched through the forums just to make sure there wasn't a specific post already for this, and correct me if im wrong, but i did not see one.
So without further ado, here is the mod.
Disable:Disable Capacitive Buttons
Re-Enable:Re-Enable Capacitive Buttons
I've tested this on Flashback 10.0, but should work on any older honeycomb roms. It may work on gingerbread, but i haven't tested it yet. Feel free to try!!
Is this is flashable through cwm?

Sorry everybody, for some reason it just isn't working. Ill take a look at it later and try to figure it all out

This has already been addressed, it works perfectly - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177174
I would love to do this but unfortunately sometimes my on screen buttons don't always react to the touch. Plus, some apps don't allow me to click the menu button (or settings button, not sure) and I have to click the press the capacitive button.
I am on LXdroid 0.2 ROM. 366 BB.
Rom running stable since it's release-
This week I observed the phone hung twice.
Today - after ride home - I saw- the back button didn't work!
I restarted - thinking of it as a bug!
Even then it was inactive- I pressed harder
And - it worked - sorta glitchy now.
Then - all three buttons failed to work after some time!
I pulled battery out- restarted - and again the back button was inactive.
__
I let the device go to sleep- woke it up.
And- all three buttons work nice!
No extra pressure- just like before!
__
Folks- am I seeing EOL of my device?
:crying:
I would want to stick to it - at least till Quadcores became the norm..
Please advise,
Sony.
P.S. No new apps or anything - in the last few weeks.
EDIT- Back button needs some amount of force! to be used now.

the phone is quite vulnerable if it is not inside something that protective... even so.. you might want to try this... just rub the capacitive panel for few minutes and then restart... that should do the job.. taken from _n0p_ advice...
Maybe you need a rom have capacitive button on status bar to reduce have to push phone capacitive button frequently

Just did exactly that ( hoping for some mumbo jumbo to happen ) expecting it to heal itself
For now - it has healed. :gulp:
Well- I use a silicone case- and I am sure it only sits in my (loose) pockets for 1 hour of commute.
rest of the time it is pampered in A/c environment and non-humind climate of my city.
Still - I will try to keep it cleaner.

Thank you all for such prompt help.
For now- it's working fine :fingers-crossed:

I'm working on one of cm7 rom from HD2 and HTC Desire, found that cm7 have softbutton on statusbar.
You can choose which soft button you want to show in settings/cyanogenmod settings/tablet tweaks.
I include in this zip file newer camera.apk, if you don't want it just open this zip file use winrar / 7 zip then delete it.
Remember, always nandroid backup before flashing anything.
Hope this can help save your capacitive button.

Superb!!!!!!
My cap buttons are fine for 2 days now! So - looks like that was just random.
But,
I am installing the zip and using these buttons as much possible!
Cheers to your efforts!
Thanks,

I'm really enjoying my Nexus 10 but I'm annoyed by the software buttons being in the middle of the screen, as I would like to use them with my left hand while holding the tablet.
Is there a piece of software or tweak that would allow me to move the software buttons to the left (if possible without rooting, like lightflow does with the notification led). I don't want to install a custom launcher or mod, unrooted stock is fine, just wondering if such a software exists.

On stock there is no way. The Paranoid Android Rom allows you to move the buttons.
How do I do this? I flashed to PA butbi can't find that option...

You'll have to change it to tablet mode. It should be under "Paranoid settings." I believe that is the only way to get the buttons on the left. I use the tablet UI and it works great. Much easier to hit those pesky buttons now.
Edit: It's under "Hybrid Properties"

Hi all I would like to buy a used nexus 4 of 10.10.2013, at the price of 150 euro European warranty, I just doubt the seller declares that the virtual keys on the phone do not work and everything else works before you buy i surely you'll see the phone, so i wanted to know, there is pssibilità or a way to figure out if the problem is with the virtual keys or the screen without first changing rom or restore the phone, that is immediate??
You can remove the virtual keys to use the cell with the only home to see if the part of the screen where the buttons are working?
Sorry for my bad english,i use google translate
Download the app "phone tester". It has a function called " multi-touch test". You can just move your finger over the whole screen to check for any blank spots.
Does the phone come completely stock? Because sometimes s2w and d2w cause problems like this.

If your phone has a custom kernel, you can activate and s2w d2w, if your phone has the stock kernel that is not possible. If your phone there are s2w and d2w with phone The application tester will give error in the area of soft keys when you head to the screen?
The app I mentioned is just to see if and where there are blank spots.
I've made the experience that d2w after sometimes makes the left and right side of the screen unresponsive. Others might have made other observations.

tanks before I buy it I'll try the screen with the program who advised me
I picked up the phone, the touch works all the rom and the kernel are original, as I solve the problem of virtual keys??
Does touch input work on the complete screen? There's a button on top to make the touch test run in full screen so you can test all borders and edges. If it does I guess flashing a complete stock image should solve the issues.

It works all the touch screen, the problem is that the keys back - home - menu, they do not work it vertically horizontally into the side of the phone where they are placed, they only work if I turn the phone and I get them to appear in the side where you is the camera.
Hey,
I'm posting this for a friend.
Nexus 4, running 4.4.2 Kit Kat
Bottom part of the screen isn't responding for a while (can't use the menu\back\home buttons).
He wanted to change ROM (tried installing - Cynogen) on the device and didn't preform a backup (only backed up EFS, and thats no great help here),
Now he is stuck on the "Choose Language" screen, because he can't click the next button...
What does one do in such a case?
Thanks on his behalf.
It seems like the touch screen breaking down.
