Enable Navigation bar/Disable capacitive buttons and lights

This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen
buttons) , its very simple and easy...
Warring: if you mess something dont blame me.
Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4
To turn off capacitive buttons:
Go to system/use/key layout/ synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
Long press it and click open with text editor
Delete everything there
Reboot.
To turn of capacitive button lights:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deskangel.kblight
Or
This will mess your screen brightness and it will stay on 100% all the time. You have to use screen filter app from play store or some other app to control the brightness of your screen.
Go to system/lib/hw
There find lights.msm8960.so
Rename it to (whatever you want)
Reboot.

To turn off the lights you can just edit framework-res.apk.

This is only applicable to AOSP/CM ROMs this won't work on sense based ROMs.

I don't copy I had this posts from last year in other places. I searched on Google and tried to help whoever needs it to find it faster. Now whoever does anything copies from someone. Look at all the xda every place is copies of one another.

Here you go, if your rooted, extract this and put it in etc/init.d to turn off your lights on boot.
Or, just execute it with root explorer.

This doesn't work. I did exactly the way you described and still no go. Is this of cm based or sense?

Does work, been using it. On sense. If you are using a custom kernel with bln then that could be why. Make sure you set permissions though!

I have to dig out this old post.
Unfortunately i cant get the navigation bar to work?!?
Or can it only be done on CM Roms?
Im on Google Play Edition 4.3, did the total conversion as i want to stay on Stock GPE.

*Bump* this is of interest to me
I only managed to get a nav bar by using PA, fiddling with build.prop never gave me a nav bar GPE or anything else.

I think I read on the s4 forums that they also can't get this going with stock based roms (touchwizz and gpe), something about the lines of code for this to happen being removed or not there.
From personal experience, I could only get the navbar on pa. Another person on a thread enabled it on a cm based ROM.
So in the end, yes, it seems the only way to get the nab bar working is a cm based ROM. Its a pity cause that means we'll be giving up:
* good speakers - missing beats audio
* ir blaster and fantastic TV app.
* blink feed
* slightly better camera optimizations
Anyone able to recommend a cm based ROM ? Or at least alternative apps for the problems above?

Nope....doesn't work on Sense-based or GPE. Tried it like........I lost count. I kinda savvy it too. However, even on a Touchwiz I can't produce it. So probaly it only works on CM or CM based roms.

im sure someone will figue it out just like they did with the note2. i hated only being able to use a few apps.
not sure who figured it out but he made it so every app in your app drawer was in their and you just removed the ones you didnt want

Under all apps it is called clock widget. Not sure what the official apk name is. It's probably the lg one that you mentioned. If you dont mind,PM me a link on the files so I can grab them or share them with me through google if you would like.

The lg clock widget definitely has references in it to quick cover. I was only able to look at it for a bit, but it had all the colors and mentions of the fancy watch faces as well. I didn't see where that would get activated though. I was going to look at lglockscreen tonight to see if there was a way in there to add more widgets. Let me know if you find anything and if i can help. Good luck

Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app

So i haven't found anything in the framework. I'm gonna see if i can get ahold of systemui or the launcher app and look into both of those. I did however create a slightly modified clock widget app for quick window. If someone would like to test for me... The only differences should be that purple is changed to green and i took out the backdrop faded 8 behind each number. I would appreciate a tester to let me know if the mods worked or not.
Thank you. link below

Yup I tried the same logical step, but to no avail.. SMH at Samsung! I did download the Data Enabler Widget which does the same thing, but still disappointed as to why they would remove an important toggle.. At least give us an option to restore it!

What about the power toggles app? Does that not work?

I personally have never found a reason to want to toggle data on and off so I never even noticed it was missing. That being said, would you be able to use Tasker to watch for another quick toggle (such as S Beam or Blocking Mode) to activate/deactivate and then toggle data accordingly? At least that would give you a solution more closely related to what you are used to. Just a thought.

[Q] New OTA Keyboard

Soooooooo. I downloaded the new OTA for my verizon note 3. I think the verizon cloud is kind of cool considering I've accidentally deleted my camera folder twice (oops) However, one thing I don't like is the change in color in the keyboard. It isn't white/grey anymore and it depresses me. I want the old keyboard back. Is there any way to get it back?

Find one from one of the Roms out there that still have the white keyboard and install it. You may have to move to system/app which ota??? Mj7, mi9?, something new?

I would assume you could pull the apk out of the stock rooted mj7 rom. just use 7zip to pull apk out. I would download a free keyboard off the playstore as a backup in case for some reason it doesn't work, but no reason it shouldn't.

Pics of new keyboard plz. Just curious

Pay for SwiftKey, last time you will want to change keyboards.

I like the new (old old) dark theme but i use Swiftkey anyway. I don't like that the Samsung Keyboard doesn't allow to modify the press and hold delay.
I love that Swiftkey allows a quick right or left drag on the period key to get exclamation or question mark without having to wait for press and hold.

Broken slide aside?

Is anyone else's slide aside not working? I still have the apk in my system/app but it has never worked. I have gmd and use a gesture to move between apps but I want to at least try it out. Can anyone provide me with an apk to try to replace mine if it is broken or corrupted? Thanks in advance.

You should find it in Settings, under Device and then Gestures.

if someone could send me a copy of theirs that would be great and ill see if replacing it fixes the problem. i really dont want to reset my phone just to try it out

I will admit this has me scratching my head. It does not show up in the Settings listing (which where it is with Verizon, as I have Verizon as well) but you are seeing it in the System folder. The first thing I would say is try a hard reset to see if this corrects the issue. You will need to re-install all your apps, unless you make a back up first.
---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------
By any chance did you Freeze it "not knowing" with Titanium. This could explain your issue??? Maybe.

No I checked to see if I froze it by mistake or disabled it but it isn't. Maybe something else I froze is affecting i?? Like I said I use gmd to switch apps, I just wanted to try it out. Not a big enough deal for me to reset. Thanks for you help though
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Have you messed with settings menu at all like you do when installing split view mod? Mine is frozen and still in gestures menu...
I would suggest reinstalling or flashing stock settings menu.

Before i rooted it used to work, but after i rooted and used gmd gestures it stoped not sure why. But believe me you don't need it i simply froze the app, plus it will hinder my gesture options of using 3 fingers.

Rip,
Did you ever figure out the issue? Its happening to me to. Im on verizon rooted with stock rom and I no longer see it in my settings/gesture menu but I see the app still on my phone. I saw someone in IRC say it was a bug with the app. But was wondering if anyone ever found what the issue is.

No I never did resolve it. Once a decent 4.4 rom came out I just went that way anyways and continue to use game swipe up gestures for home, back, menu, kill app, and to switch between previous and next apps. My nav bar is completely hidden so it maximizes screen space
