I really love this 4-buttons style of AOSP, menu button is on very right position, and seems like it does not take space. Like bellow.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Does anyone know how to get that instead of stock soft keys? Or what application provide soft keys customization function including adding that menu soft key?
Thank you

Have you given pie a try? also GMD auto hide soft keys can be turned on all the time but then you have it cutting into content... sadly Softkeyz dosnt work with the G2 so for now i think the only way to get stock AOSP softkeys would be to rom an AOSP rom... i would suggest trying out pie though! didnt think id like it as much on this phone.. i just hide with GMD auto hide soft keys all the time and downloaded the PIE app from the play store... full 5.2 inch display is a win for me

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to hide Bluetooth, WLAN and possibly Screen Orientation button on the bottom right of the Today Screen? I'm hoping it might be possible to edit a registry key to hide these buttons. I've included a snapshot of the screen showing the buttons for clarity.
Thanks for any assistance,
Dav

Ok I have a cunning plan....
I notice that the tweaks2k2 software allows you to hide the Orientation Icon, which works nicely. Now, if I take a snapshot or backup the registry before and after and then compare them, I should be able to see what was changed by tweaks and then add that registry change to my CAB file. Guess what i need now is an app which either backs up or takes a snapshot of a mobile registry... any recommendatiosn most welcome!
Thanks,
Dav
Ok, forget that plan, Google turned up a nice list on this website, didnt realise a lot of this stuff was nicely documented here. Excellent. Simply -
HKLM\Services\ScreenRotate\ShowIcon
ShowIcon = 0; to hide it.
Cheers,

Is there any way to get buttons overlayed on old applications?
Today i installed tony hawks pro skater 2 on my hd2 and it works fine but i cannot cannot control the char.
The game uses only 4 overlayed buttons:

(i use the hw accelerated version)
someone created a virtual d-pad that puts a d-pad overlay on the screen. I'll try to find the thread.
Hi, you could use LMTs multitouch gamepad for that. It can be used as an overlay in any app and has direction arrows + 8 customizable buttons. See screenshot (used with FPSEce):

The dev thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629263
Here, I found the thread. I think this might work well.

Let me know how it works if you try it.
thx for your replys, i tried both apps but the vdpad dont work with tony hawk because it get overlayed by the game. But i think it is a very useful tool.
Are there any other suggestions?
So I've been working on a theme to post at mycolorscreen.com and when I was creating the wallpapers I took a screenshot
to get the exact size of the screen not realizing the soft key buttons covered the bottom portion of my theme (in Tablet UI).
I can get around using Apex Actions to see my recent apps and quick settings, but the problem is when I'm in expandable
desktop mode and I'm using an app I don't have the back or home button therefore I have to hold down the power button and
get out of expandable desktop mode and its just a pain in the butt and such a hassel. My question is is there anyway I can
use my volume up button for home and the volume down for back? Or perhaps an app someone knows off that could help me
with my situation?
Thanks in advance, elRei
Flash the latest Paranoid beta (v2.99 1/14/13) and turn on pie controls under Settings>Toolbars and you'll have this when swiping from the bottom of the screen in expanded desktop mode.

lol I knew I should've updated when Goo Manager told me too, thanks
I find the virtual buttons a bit of a nuisance, I would much rather use gestures. I originally wanted to hide them only on my home screen, but it seems it's all or nothing with qemu.hw.mainkeys in build.prop.
I'm fine getting rid of them, however I'm wondering if there is a gesture system I can have instead, for example a swipe from bottom takes me to the home screen?
Edit: I'm on rooted stock 4.3.
I'm using cataclysm ROM which has a unique feature which fades out the buttons after ten seconds in any app. Other wise I think there's an xposed module that can have swipes to navigate.

Thanks man, turns out I was Googling for the wrong thing - once I figured out that they were called navigation bars I came across an app called " GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" for rooted devices. (For future people)
I'd rather keep with rooted stock for now but I will be sure to keep an eye on it for when I decide to dabble in roms.
This is what I wanted out of my S8+ the moment I heard Samsung was going soft nav bar style... PIE Control!!
Heres how to do it;
Install a pie control interface from play, here are a couple;
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ace.jun.simplepie&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.halo&hl=en
Then add this line to build.prop under /system/ dir to disable soft nav bar;
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Save and reboot
May want to think about using titanium to convert user app pie controls to system app as well to prevent accidental uninstall (I haven't done that yet.)

You can use LMT (search xda for it) dies not require root and when's great.

LMT is the second most important app on any phone I use. Pie, gestures, ISAS.... beautiful tasker compatibility ?

Thanks for the info. Quick question though, is there a way to permanently hide the Navigation Bar without Root? I'm familiar with the above method of the Build.prop, but I'm not rooted currently, and can't seem to figure out how to remove it.
