[Q] Is it possible to enable software (screen) keys on SGS4 (i9505) ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I have rooted my SGS4 and was looking for a way to enable software (screen) keys.
As a reference I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032117.
Unfortunately it did not work. After adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 line to system/build.prop and rebooting I started to get popping error "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped".
Does anybody know how to enable software keys on SGS4 ? Please advice.
Thanks!

i have got LMT launcher installed on my phone i think it's better than soft on screen keys cause it doesn't kill space on screen

Thanks for your answer. I'm using MIUI launcher and would like to stick to it. I'm looking for a software buttons mode. I like how it works and looks. I know that there are many alternative solutions (like Virtual Button Bar), but I like when it is integrated into system.
I would really appreciate if somebody can tell me how to enable software (screen) keys on SGS4 with original rooted ROM.
Thank you

if the build.prop method not working then there is something missing in the code

Can we manually add what is missing for software buttons to work ?

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 <----Add that to the bottom of your build.prop and reboot.

It does not work for me and this is exactly what I want to fix (please take a look at my original post).
After reboot I'm getting "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" message and no software keys.

I ran into the same issue. It still worked with the S3 by simply updating the build.prop. But with the S4 Samsung it doesn't.
It works nicely with cm10.1 though. If you don't need any of the Samsung additions then it is really worth going to cm. There I put the qemu.hw. mainkeys=0 in /data/local.prop. This file doesn't exist by default, but it can be created with an editor. The advantage of this is that it stays there along updates as long as you don't wipe data.

Does CM for S4 support
1) Screen Mirroring (wired and wireless) ?
2) NFC ?
3) Smart stay ?
4) Adapt Sound ?

Is there a Launcher that allows on screen Nav Buttons?

My home button is broken thats why. thanks
Use the xposed module gravity box and you will be able to use both navigation bar and pie, so you won't need the home button.

I come across this build.prop tweak the other day, if you add: qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and restart you should have Softkeys enabled.
You need root to edit the file and I'd advise keeping a backup on the extSD.

Yeah it should. Just thought I'd try it and it works but with a few caveats.
1. You lose a bit of screen real estate on the bottom.
2. I can't seem to take screenshots with power and home button. I tried the same thing with the onscreen button and nada. Swipe and screen wirte still work fine though.
Here's a couple of screens:

I tried on a rooted samsung stock firmware 4.4.2 and it doesn't work. I used the app build.prop from appstore to add it.

I'm not sure of the app your referring to. But the file you want to edit is in the /system folder. Use a root file explorer and edit the build.prop file. I myself use ES file explorer but any root explorer should work.
Edit:
-before you change anything copy(backup) the build.prop to your ExtSd.
-After you have edited the file, Restart and the changes will take effect.

[Q] Replace SystemUI to get rid of S5 quick settings

I hate the quick settings in the notification panel of my Galaxy S5.
I'd like to disable it. I've searched for an Xposed module to do the work, but the closes I got was a "Xposed G-Touchwiz" tha helped me to hide the S-finder and Quick Connect buttons.
So I was wondering... Is it possible (or will it work if) to replace the SystemUI.apk with a version from, let say, CM? I'm not sure what else the SystemUI do, but I've crazy seen people replacing it to get the S5 quick settings buttons.
I would appreciate if anyone knows how to get rid of the quick settings in notification shade of the stock Galaxy S5.
Thanks.

It won't work with a cm systemui.apk. will most likely give you a ton of force closes. There are many custom Roms though with it either turned off or the option of turning the bar off. Just pull the systemui.apk from these Roms and replace yours.

Hi,
I guess you did this in a custom rom? And compiled it yourself?
If so.. Could you share it maybe? I could integrate it into my Xposed module "Xposed G-Touchwiz" ofcourse with credits to you =).

I've replaced the SystemUI,apk from the AOKP rom, but I'm missing something.
What I did:
In folder /system/priv-app
Renamed SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.old
Renamed SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.odex.old
Copy the new SystemUI.apk to the folder /system/priv-app
Changed permissions of the new file, so it match the permission of the original file (rw-r--r--).
Reboot
It didn't work. One time I got the same notification shade as if I haven't done anything. Other time the notification area was completely gone.
The problem, I think, is that I don't have the SystemUI.odex file, nor could I find it on the AOKP rom.
Can you please enlighten me?

How did you get that? Share with us, please!
Its an option in my rom. The aim of the rom is to make people realise that they dont HAVE to use xposed. There are still people doing things the old way and modding the base files. The one in the screenshot is part of Kitkat style and you can switch to it or a whole bunch of other styles in one click.
For example you could have S5 style but then turn toggles off....
And then maybe sfinder off....
Or have a carbon look with toggles at the bottom...
If you like to change stuff to suit your taste you should try it!

Hi! You just sold me your fish! (Its a Brazilian expression!)
I installed Alliance ROM and I'm pretty much satisfied. Nice work you've done!
But it would be nice to have those features on a Xposed module too.
One thing that I dind't realize how to do is how to get rid of the second page toggles (the page on notification shade that shows all the toggles). As a suggestion, it would be nice to have a way to hide some of those useless icons/toggles.
Just for future reference (for those who tried), do NOT attempt to use SystemUIs from other devices/roms especially on an odexed rom. Thats recipe for FC's and bootlooops.
Xposed happens to be my only option at the moment.
Goldie, I would love an allianceRom version for sprint! Until then, how did you do it? I tried pulling the systemui.apk but couldn't find an editable xml. Any pointer would be awesome.

Yes, it is quite an easy mod, I made it for Echoerom.
I edited four .pio files that must be replaced into systemUI.apk, so that they can be easily seen both when the navbar background is black or white (just some gimp and paint).
If any of you can share the systemUI.apk from Ambasadi's rom (the dev wrote that anybody is free to use his work) I'll mod it and eventually open a separate thread, though it's not real modding, just little tricks.
As a rule of thumb, any nougat systemUI.apk should work.
This mod requires you to use a different launcher (I modded a pixel launcher that works fine with navbar Btw).

Hello Guys,
Most of them Wanted GRX TouchWiz Mode for Non-Rooted Phones So i have Modded the GRX to work on Galaxy Note-9 SM-N960F and SM-N960U Only (oreo 8.1) (No Root Required)
Installation Guide,
1) Install the TouchWiz.apk and GRXTouchWiz.apk as Normal Installation you do
2) If you have the SABS or Package disabler pro you disable the Samsung Touchwiz.apk (or you if dont have app to disable no issue, just go to settings and make touchwiz home in installed apps section as default Launcher)
3) Then go to settings and give permissions for the TouchWizHome.apk for Phone and storage and go to Advance options and then turn ON apps that can appear on top, and apps that can change system settings.
Thats it, all done
In case If the Installation fails then go to settings/Apps/(press on 3 dot option)/Show system app/Samsung Experience Launcher/(press on 3 dot option)/Uninstall Update/ Then Re-Follow the Installation Guide from 1st
Bugs in GRX TouchWiz mod
In landscape mode the apps text wont come and the widgets wont resize properly

Credits to @josete_1976 for creating this apk for rooted devices
and to @RogueList for converting it to Snapdragon Note 9
Thank you bro. ?
Most appreciated my brother.
Does anyone have this working yet?
I get a message when opening (going home, I should say):
Clones are device-locked
This helps to prevent abuse and redistribution of cloned apps
Please use App Cloner to recreate the clone on this target device.....
And more following including my device id and such.
I have actually never seen this message before, But I have also never really messed around with touchwiz before.
Any advice?
You are the man my friend. Many thanks for this exciting mod!

I got this very same message. Would love to know what the solution is. Thanks for the mod.
I keep getting the ':Clones are device locked' message. I am using a N960U. Is this an Exynos specific port?
Thank you!

Serious? This is Exynos only? - what is different about touchwiz between the 2? I would seriously consider going back to touchwiz with this.
Whenever I see my wife using her stock S8, I honestly am somewhat jealous of how fluid it looks....
Thank you! Perfect!
Is there any possibility of a Snapdragon port?

Sorry! i dont have Snapdragon device to test, Cant help.
Thanks for this. One thing I like is that it would allow increasing grid size, but curious if there are other features? Also, to revert back to Samsung Experience if needed, do we just choose it as default Home again, and uninstall?

you can uninstall this if you dont want, (there are more features like the icons go edge below the navigation bar much more explore in the GRX mode settings apk for more customisation

Thanks. Trying it now.
Is there a way to eliminate that 'zero page' from opening, what is it? Keeps opening as the settings crashes every now and then.
Also, is there a way to remove Dock Icon texts?
Thanks.
