disable software Keys - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has any one figured out a way to disable the software keys on the G2 AT&T Variant? I would like to use PIE / LMT Launcher instead. I know I can use LMT with software keys on, I just don't like them on when using it.

Use Gmd if you have root and turn them off then use let as you like.
Edit: here you go

Prevent access to brightness control

Hi guys
I have given my 6 year old a 2012 tilapia & she always likes to dial the brightness up. Is there an app that can prevent access to settings & the pull down quick access that also has access to brightness control?
Device is on stock 4.3 unrooted
Thanks

try full!screen apk. it removes notifications/settings and soft keys and replace it with a button

[Q] Hey LMT users, quick question

Anyone know how to assign a PIE key to take a screenshot?

Using any roms by chance?
Apparently there is a script you can run that will take a screenshot but the link I found to the script to download was broken. I couldn't find a key code for screenshot. I assume you could trigger a tasker task to do it also but I haven't bothered. I take a screenshot very infrequently, so the annoying g2 method of pressing power and down button doesn't upset me. I do wish that I could get the method down every time. Sometimes it just lowers the volume, other times I end up getting the volume slide in my screenshot...
What mode did you select in LMT for the device compatibility?
Hi i set mode 4 works fine. But i would eliminate soft touch, do u know how?

Hide nav bar root required

Sideload and install gmd hide soft keys run it and select hide soft keys keys and setup your quick nav bar ..my suggestion is to use the pro version of gmd and set navigation control's to none and then use udn pro as your navbar which seems to work better for me

Works great, but how do you get the new nav bar to push everything up when on the bottom? Right now I have it set to 20px so it doesn't interfere with much, but it conflicts with my keyboard from time to time...

Did you guys lose menu buttons on some apps after installing these? My menu buttons for Voice and Trillian for instance have vanished and the menu button for the bar doesn't work on most apps for me.
Edit: Never mind, my issue was related to a busybox installation that was fixed by installing with a different installer. Oops.
Thanks for the info on this, it's very useful and stock is kinda lackluster.

I just got the same problem.
You mean that re-install the busybox will solve this?

I used the one from Faznx92's root tutorials, but I never had a busybox problem...
Something weird is going on, I got the menu problem again after rebooting I guess. Every time I uninstall busybox I get them back. I'll try the method OP used.
Edit: I keep getting the same problem. Each time I enable the auto hide soft keys app, I lose menu buttons in apps. Thr trick I found is to launch them all after booting then enable the auto hide. Just need to do that every time you reboot.
I would still love to be able to fix it for good
Freeze or uninstall stock "Soft Key Bar?"
Is it possible to remove it completly? I use auto hide soft keys but the stock Soft Key Bar interferes with it.

Do you guys know any way of swapping the default navbar with an aosp navbar? I want it to stay without hiding. I am mainly missing the recent apps button in the default navbar.
Thanks a lot!
You can disable the navbar with gravity box and use pie controls. That's what I do
Use UDN lite. Its far better and has more customization in the free version.

I am wondering the same thing, also the clear all button in the recent apps.

You can turn off hard keys. (sm-p600 mk1)

Sorry if this is old news but I seen a few people asking if you could disable these especially over at the clean Rom thread cause the developer included soft keys in the rom. Anyways again I'm sorry if this is old news but you go to accessibility/access control. It then walks you through a series of steps like if you want certain parts of the screen to not be affected by touch and so on. I thought this was pretty sweet. Not sure if it's for all models and firmware but worth a shot!

I'm on stock and I can't find Access Control in Accessibility. Is this a CleanRom only feature?

No... I'm stock right now. I don't remember seeing it before so not sure how I got it there. Maybe from exposed?

It's all the way at the very bottom of Accessibility. It is listed under Recognition. Turn it on. Then hold down the home button and and volume down to enter the wizard.
It should be helpful for when I do note taking at a meeting so I don't have to worry about touching the physical buttons. But for Button Savior Pro it disables the Home, Menu and Back so it's not something I can have on all the time. Plus the notification drawer cannot be interacted with anymore while this mode is on.

It can if you have nova launcher pro. With a gesture. The notification drawer that is...

I can open the drawer just fine. You just can't touch any of the notifications after you open the drawer.

Wanam has been updated for the Note 4!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.xposed&hl=en
What's New
- Some GNote4 incompatibilities fixes
- Mute some useless logs
It was already working before this update???
Some things work some don't, I still can't get skip tracks on lockscreen or the lockscreen flashlight or a couple more features to work. I guess it's just a maintenance release.

Headsup doesnt work for me either.
Wifi tether is not working for me now. Neither is T-Mo hotspot.
All APN settings are now "Not Set". Ouch.

Lock screen skip works out the box. Yours broke?
I had lock screen music controls with Google play and Spotify out if the box. Did you try to enable something that broke the default controls?

Yeah I've never been able to get lock screen vol to work. I'm talking about when the screen is off using the physical vol keys, not on screen controls those work fine and are not wanam related.

I have this xpose too. It seems like this is a tool for any Samsung phone. I wish the make one just for the Note 4. My up vol on Flash doesnt work. It just will not let me toggle anything. Bugs.
Wanam was updated again on 11/12/14 great to see him still maintaining this. Doesn't look like anything N4 specific though.
What's New
- Fixed some status bar elements theming incompatibilities with newer TW Roms
- Add CM battery + Text size
- Fixed overlapping 2 lines date on some devices
- Many other improvements

What rom are you on?
This issue is usually something to do with advanced reboot settings. I had this problem with my note 3 on Tweaked, the built-in power button settings were conflicting with my wanam power button settings. Even if you're on stock, check your advanced reboot settings in wanam.
It don't work for me, anything I can do to make it work?
