Swipe up from any of the three softkey buttons, you'll get three shortcuts, the top one is google now the left one is voice mate and the right one is quick memo, this is how it is on the VZW version anyway.
thanks guys, works on tmo the same way

Edit: Please disregard this post. I've changed to xylon as I simply can't live without this feature. Thanks!
Does anyone know of a mod or anything that implements this feature? This is the only thing I miss from other ROMS. Thank you!

This does not actually answer your question, but what is wrong with the recents button? Are you trying to get rid of the recents button but still have access to the feature? I'm just curious what's going on here.

I'm just used to having 3 navbar buttons, rather than 4. It just seems cluttered in my opinion. So yep, I'm trying to remove the button but still have access by holding the home button.

But there are three nav buttons by default... back, home, recents.

I've looked around and it appears there are a number of paid apps that apparently let me change the soft keys, but I'm not 100% sure if they'll work with the stock LG G2 "OS"...
I want my multitasking button back... No need for a settings button, IMO.

Absolutely. And I'm handy with UNIX, so navigating the filesystem and using text editors to muck with XML isn't a problem. I'm just not a developer.
Also interested in being able to change it that key to recent apps.

Just tested, no you can not. It will always hide after you lock your screen, so you'll have to swipe/touch to bring the soft keys back up.

And also it will always overlap over the screen. There are ways to keep the navbar from disappearing, but you won't be able to access anythi g underneath it because it doesn't shift the screen up, just overlay

Big letdown because it looks like a great app. Hopefully the dev can get it working for us in the future.

My quasi solution was auto hide soft keys, auto to 0, auto hide only had anywhere on the bar checked, and swipe. You still need to swipe after wake, but if you need anything under it, just tap the left side to hide. If you use the mock option, home will leave space for it.

Curious if anyone knows how to keep the soft keys transparent when using Nova Launcher?

I sent the nova developer an email about it. He said he is looking into it. He can enable if LG allows third party apps access to that feature.

i'm sure most of you know already, but holding the home button will bring up recents.
Yes, but,not,as,convenient as having a dedicated button. Personal choice I guess.

I use GMD soft keys to hide them completely then use LMT for pie. That way I can completely control my button layout, gain screen real estate, navigate from left right and bottom and do it with whatever colors I choose. A must have for me.

What did you set your device input for LMT? I cant get it to work. Thanks.
Like instead of the capacitive and home hardware buttom. A line at the lower part of the screen is used to show on screen buttons
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 4
I've always used the line that you add to your build.prop file and it adds it by itself but it doesn't work in the note 3, I tried it and it went into an infinite systemui force close, so I guess it's a no go.
I'm also interested in them as I use the s pen too much and I hate pressing the home button with it.

I'm using Swipe Home Button. It uses gestures for various actions. It's not perfect, but it keeps my pen off the home button. No root required. I have it paired with a "screen off" app, so I can avoid using the power button, too.

There's also Virtual Button Bar, which is more of a pop-up menu of icons (can be set to always be visible). It's not being developed anymore, but it still works, and served its purpose while I was using it.

in that case the next best thing is
GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys ★ root

that's another of my favourite for devices with dead capacitive buttons
Pretty nice. I can do with the assitant button native to then phone

I'm running Sacs ROM...is it possible to rearrange the icons on 3minit quick launch? I'm looking at the top (wifi, mobile data, gps, flashlight, etc.) I'd like to arrange those differently but don't see any way to do that.
Long press on the icon, chose delete then press the + sign too add app you desire.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Weird. That doesn't work for me. If I long press I feel the haptic vibration, but no options come up.
And just to be clear, I don't want to rearrange the app icons, but the green settings icons at the top.
Top right corner button, it'll open up more then push the pencil.

If you hit home in an app it would take you back to the launcher home screen instead of the screen you were previously on. Seems a very small thing to me but it apparently drove some people crazy.

Oh, that's why it doesn't do that on my nexus! I prefer it that way myself. Guess I'll have to load up my old version and maybe email the dev to see if we could have that as an option.

If you were on your home screen in an app and hit the home key it would open up the page selection instead of going back to home. It was a double action bug. The software thought you were hitting the key twice. If you aren't on your home screen in an app and hit the home key it brings you back to the previous screen then hit the home key again for home, that's how its intended to work.

Another problem is that in many third party launchers, there is a specific function that can happen if you hit home while already on the default home screen. Most good launchers will have a way to turn this off, but often the functionality is useful - say, it can show all of your home screens in smaller images at the same time, so you can choose one without having to slide to one that is many screens away. The Aviate launcher toggles a particular function on and off when you press home, so, on the Droids, it now quickly toggles back and forth, making pressing home useless.
It doesn't drive me crazy, but I do find it mildly annoying that I can't go back to my default home when I'm in Nova launcher. I'm actually more annoyed that it's taken five-plus months (and counting) to get it fixed.
