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:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

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.

I will post my current mods and any future mods i make here. They are mostly just simple things.
THIS IS FOR Liquid ICS *MR2.6* JMOD ONLY!!!!!!1one111one
Standard disclaimer: Not responsible for any damages this may cause! You may want to nandroid before flashing just in case.
MOD 1 - 4G ICON
This will make it seem like you have 4G rather than 1X. It will not improve data speeds.
Just replace /system/app/SystemUI.apk with this http://db.tt/lvCmSI6Q

MOD 2 - NEXUS-IFY ME CAP'N
This completely disables the use of the physical soft buttons (home, menu, back, and search) and shuts off their backlights.
It's for people who would like to use the on-screen buttons and not have to worry about the physical buttons being accidentally pressed.
NOTE: Have the navbar enabled BEFORE flashing this!
Flash this through recovery to apply it. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/disablebuttons.zip
Flash this to re-enable the buttons. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/enablebuttons.zip

Maybe.
Doubt it.
But it's possible.
I may get bored and make some.
I do that a lot.

Enjoy.

Good job on both of these. All I need now is working visual voicemail. And I know I know Google voice is better. And free. But since my boss pays the 2.99 a month..........well you get the jist of it
Edit....uh oh. I pushed the systemui.apk to system/app and rebooted. Now I don't have a status bar . Any ideas?
Edit again..... so I pulled the system ui from the rom package to go back and I can't get my status bar back. I'm lost now.

Can i fix it with out having reflash the ROM? Also, i forgot to rename my radio so boot loader is inaccessible to get me to recovery
I'm pretty sure that replacing the system UI apk would need to be pushed through adb.

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!

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

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.

Do a nandroid backup in case of failure!This is only if u have softkeys which u can enable with the softkey enabler from the playstore on any AOSP rom.
Just use any root explorer app.Go to system/lib/hw and here find the "lights.find5.so" file and rename it to whatever u want in my case i did "lights.find5.so.zip".That will disable the capacitive button lights upon reboot.
For the buttons themselves head to system/usr/key layout/synaptic.....(has the name synaptic in it and it's the only one).Copy this to ur computer for backup purposes if u didn't do the nandroid already.Now open it as a text file and delete everything inside.Save and reboot.
Hit Thanks if u .....u know.....

open the lights.find5.so file as a text file and check but i'm not sure.There maybe it's possible.
Does anyone have a working solution for AOKP 4.3? When I rename the lights.so file, it also breaks a lot of other things. For example, when I send my phone to stand-by, the screen doesnt turn off but remains backlit.

3) Open build.prop in Text Editor
4) Edit
ro.product.name=lgsomething
ro.product.device=lgsomething
To

Edit your build.prop to have the userdebug build type.
Add "persist.sys.debug.multi_window=true" at the end of the build.prop. That's it

Thanks for this works great.
Can see why it's a hidden mode though, the implementation is a bit of a mess isn't it? Pretty glitchy.
I had a s6 before and this feature was very well done by Samsung.
Once we edit the build prop, how do we put it to use? I'm highly interested in this.
Edit: I'm also trying to use ES File Explorer to edit the build.prop. I found two build.props; one file has way more code than the other. Which one do I edit? And ES File Explorer is telling me that there is an error when trying to save the edited build.prop. Any insight?

Just use free tool build prop editor. Click edit, go to bottom paste that line in, save reboot go to settings, about phone, tap build number 7 times, go to developer options, scroll down until you see multi window, enable, accept that it's beta. Now when you select recents each window had shapes on top left, this is where you chose what goes where

Thanks for this works great.
Can see why it's a hidden mode though, the implementation is a bit of a mess isn't it? Pretty glitchy.
I had a s6 before and this feature was very well done by Samsung.

This is app developer issue, the way Google incorporated it the app needs to be compatible.
Sammy uses their own interface TouchWiz and their multi window works totally different, but even there only select apps would work right?

If I activate multi window, do I have to deactivate or do anything before updating firmware? I'm rooted twrp stock.

Yes, it is...you need root permission to edit the build.prop and save it.

Yeah I figured that's the problem. This is the first phone I haven't rooted in years and I forget how nice root is.
All right, time to get busy then

Yup, I highly recommend systems less root is very nice even though it's still beta and a bit difficult to set up is worth it

No. It will just get reset to off on update and you will need to re enable it after the update.
