[MOD][HONEYCOMB] Disable capacitive buttons

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?

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.

[Q] Best soft key app?

Is there a good alternative to the CM7 software keys for the home search and back buttons?
I want to use CM7 but need a better (hopefully bigger) set of touch buttons, even something like the stock kindle fire ones.
Also What is a good app for volume control accessible from any app

Try searching for button savior in the market place. It does a fanatic job, and it hides itself until needed leaving more accessible real estate on your screen.
Give it a shot. I think there is a free version.

I just tried it... don't like it, is there anyway to pull the buttons from the stock update.zip?

[Q] Possible to move soft keys yet?

I have seen several posts with this question, but none with answers. Has anyone found a way to move the soft keys to one side or another? I keep hitting them when I type (did it while typing this ironically). Never did make sense to me to have a touch sensitive home button right underneath one of the most often used buttons on the typing board. In any case, I have scoured the net looking for an answer and can't find one. Any know if I missed it somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Try a tablet mod ROM, it has the navigation keys bunched up in the bottom left corner. Hope this helps.

Where?
Appreciate the info. Where do I find that one? I have seen a lot of different ROMs for N7, but nothing denoted as "tablet ROM" and none that have mentioned moving the soft keys as a feature.

Sorry for the n00b questions, but this is my first tablet...where do I change that? I have looked though the settings and have not seen a place to do that. I am running a rooted but (almost) stock ROM. (Manually loaded 4.1.2) And will that change the rest of the viewing area?

Lazarus there is alternatives as well. Team EOS rom allows you to completely hide the softkey interface. I eventually went with gmd gesture control which allows you to hide/show the keys at the flick of your hand, as well as much, much more.
Try the lite version here

This looks like an awesome little app. But I don't see where to hide the nav bar. Is that one of the Pro features? (It is a sweet little app either way.)

This sends me back to JB 4.1.1 though doesn't it? I have already upgraded to 4.1.2 (Though at this point I could not tell you what the difference is other than home screen rotation.) I didn't know 4.1.1 well enough to know it. Only had the tablet a few days.

Might be, it definitely is available in the pro version though.

[Q] Rom or theme suggestion for a broken digitizer?

I screwed up and broke the very top of my digitizer. When orientated in portait mode, I cannot interact with either the notification bar, or (when flipped over) the home screen buttons. Its just a narrow band of badness, no deeper than the home icon. The LCD is undamaged.
My question for you awesome people is.. do you have any suggestions as to a theme or a rom or remapping of buttons that might help me and others like me out? For instance, it would be rad to have the notification bar and home buttons on the same side of the screen. Or maybe I could make the power button go to the home screen?
Thanks guys! And be careful with your stuff.

You can use AOKP with tablet ui. I threw up a working build of it tonight. Google now nav ring is kind of off in left corner besides that its fine. Should solve what you're asking for, not to self promote or anything. I didn't make it, I just compiled it.

Screen can be turned off by touching cornor once in stock. Why not in custom ROMs?

I thought that shortcut to turn off the screen by touching the corner once is highly desirable when I can't reach the power button because the phone is lying on the table. Yes, I am that lazy.
Yet, none of the custom ROMs I tried carries that shortcut. Instead, I have to touch the narrow status bar twice in order to turn off the screen. More often than not, I end up touching the clock which appears when I pull down the status bar and, apparently, when I touch the bar. This mistake opens the time and date setting and leads to me shouting and picking up the phone from the table and squeeze the power button angrily.
Is anyone missing that shortcut?

No. I remember specifically liking this one stock function, otherwise the stock ROM sucks.
But my LG G2 is a Korean version.

If you use AOKP you can just put a power button on the navbar and turn it off there, done.
Otherwise, there are other methods posted in this very forum. You didn't look.

I don't use AOKP and I know there are other methods, but I want that particular method.
It's very neat, never misfire, invisible(until touched). Also it is a stock function(at least in the Korean version), therefore I wonder why doesn't custom ROMs include that which quite caters to G2.

I'm on verizon stock, no such functionality and I have not read mention of it anywhere. I imagine if there were a spot where a single touch would shut off the screen it would be too easily triggered alllllll the time. Perhaps if you take a backup and flash back to stock you could demo this for better understanding?

Im on 100% stock TMo and I don't have this function. Double tap to turn screen off works fine for me though.

This rom can do it. One touch on the top right corner and it turns off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673143
The guy decided to remove it though for the other updates. I have V4.0 and have not left it for the sake of this feature.

Yes. You can actually switch off the screen by double tap anywhere in the status bar. I've tried all area and it just works! By default you need to be on homescreen to do this, but I think as the status bar was part of it, that why it works.

I was just messing around with the settings on my Sprint lg g2. You can also turn off the screen by double tapping on an empty area. I've got some empty space on a couple of my home screens with no apps or widgets, double tapping will turn off the screen.

Haven't you heard of knock-on and knock-off features? Were you thinking you can only turn the screen on by double tapping it?

Almost all roms have that features of not in a different way.

Try Invisible Lock Widget on Play Store. You set up an invisible widget on your home screen and press that. I've got 12 icons of it all round my clock.
