I'm waiting for this to come out so the stock android can be ported to our phones.
I question this because idk why anyone would include soft key nav buttons and hard key nav buttons. Two rows of buttons that do the same thing?
Because it's intended to be closer to vanilla android
They can be easily disabled of course

Maybe, just maybe.. They add in the function to disable or enable the nav-buttons, just like the OnePlus1.

How so? Most times, when people want to change them, it's to re-assign them to a physical button or to remap a physical button.
I'm just curious...

I have rooted my Note 3 and remapped the navigation buttons to match the galaxy nexus I came from. Now that I don't have the menu button is there a way (maybe in the build.prop) to enable the onscreen menu button? If not is there a way to enable all onscreen navigation buttons for the note 3? I tried the "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" approach but it caused system ui to crash. Thanks.
Looking for this as well. Got the same UI crash when adding that kind.
Why would you want to when we have hardware buttons?

I remapped my hardware buttons to match my galaxy nexus onscreen buttons (from left to right: Back, Home, Recent Apps). As you can see I don't have a menu button mapped. A lot of apps have the menu button in the UI but it doesn't show up if your device thinks it has a hardware menu button. So what I am looking for is a way to tell android that I do not have a hardware menu button. Thanks.
could you keep us updated if you find anything? could you make a quick tutorial how you were able to remap the buttons, or does it work exactly like on the s3:

Yes it looks like it is exactly the same. Wish I could have found that guide when I was searching lol.
Do the correct icons appear to the right and left of the home button with this mod?

Unfortunately not. I just turned the touch key lights off in display settings.
Has anyone figured this out yet?
I'm running the CM 13 alpha, and I have the soft nav keys enabled, but I can't for the life of me find out how to turn off the capacitive buttons (I keep hitting them while trying to read and have the device in portrait).
I've tried modifying a few of the key layout files (/system/usr/keylayout) but no avail... I did manage to disable the home button lol.
Any ideas?
Edit: Ah of course... it was /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchscreen.kl, who would've thought! For anyone looking to do this, just edit this file and add #'s in front of the values.
Anyone know if any apps either root or none root would allow you to customize the navigation soft keys? I would like to add a menu key option to the current 3 options we have now. Stock LG options dont allow it.
Ill second that miss the menu button

I just downloaded Swiftly from a dev here and I've never been more impressed with a substitute for soft keys. And soft keys are a huge complaint for me.

The paid version is worth it.

Trying it out
Holding down recent apps was the menu button. But now it is multi screen.
Does it change the nav bar
is there any way to get back the old menu , holding down recent apps is now opens multiwindow
Is there a ROM that uses soft Home & navigation keys instead of capacitative keys?
I have a Verizon S4 that I have been using on Tmobile (No LTE, just 3/4G).
I recently dropped in water and the hard home button and both capacitative buttons don't work anymore. Everything else works fine (for now).
Is there a ROM I can flash which has soft home and navigation keys on the screen instead of using the hard home buttons and capacitative navigation keys?
It would be a bonus if this ROM will let me use LTE on Tmobile.
I am on stock 5.01 but it is rooted (not sure if it's unlocked but I think I can do that).
Those can be enabled on any ROM. Soft keys are a part of Android, so they are available on any phone running Android. They are simply disabled on devices with hardware buttons.
You have edit the build.prop and add a certain line if I'm not mistaken.
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save, reboot. You should, in theory, have soft keys after the reboot.

Can you remind me where to find the build.prop?

It's in system.
This is an answer you could've gotten by googling it and you wouldn't have had to wait for my response. So you effectively just wasted time.
