[Q] REMAPPING buttons

wondering,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836702
reading that, i remapped my G button to ENDCALL. i was wondering, the faves soft button on the bottom of the screen, what number button is that and can that be edited to map to something else? like say browser or gmail or sms, etc.

I would like to know too if there's a way to change that soft button without having to root the phone. I absolutely hate that damn soft button, it's wasting one off my app spots

you mean on the dock? LP lets you change your dock around and you dont need to be rooted for that.

what is LP?
and no we are talking about the faves button on the bottom of the screen on the right next to the applications menu soft key.
[PHONE][APPLICATIONS][FAV]
^^^If that helps
i know some buttons have numbers assigned to them (like button 183, 204, etc) but no idea what button or where the file to edit for above mentioned key would be located. im thinking it may be in the sense theme itself since other themes have different buttons?

Sorry. LP = Launcher Pro, which you can get from the market. And yes it lets you change that.

It is not edited the same way. It is much more complicated. But you can go over to my thread and download the mod to change your "Faves" button on the MySense launcher. You must be rooted though.

Way to switch hardware keyboards functions?

So I just installed DOSBox on my phone and the program doesn't recognise the 'FN' button making characters like : and / impossible. Is there any way to make them a one touch option on the keyboard?

I have found a way. Holding down the 'FN' button and hitting h or d works.

Hiding Nav soft keys without an application ?

Does anyone know how could I use a build prop edit to safely hide the bottom navigation bar without using unnecessary RAM? I use LMT so it isn't necessary.
I believe its in the build . prop file because when I replaced it to do a status bar mod, the bar disappeared momentarily when the file was missing.
However, I'm new to Android and I don't want to put myself into a boot loop or worse by blindly deleting things. I don't even know how to use a recovery yet. So does anyone know where this is? Thanks
LG G2

I just use an app. Auto hide soft keys. It's in the play store. Also use LMT myself. Let me ask you something, what setting do you set gesture input to?

I find that app kind of bugging, and there are moments when my buttons are no longer being displayed and I have to reboot to get them back.

add
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
to your build.prop file. That is all I did. Just don't be stupid like me and do it before you turned LMT on. I had to think up some creative ways to open it from within other programs without the back button or home available :laugh:

Softbricked my phone and had to restore to stock then re-root etc :crying:

what is LMT?

This is LMT, or one of its functions. Its a really customizable navigation bar that replaces the stock one, along with any of other gesture control you could think of. Its great, you should try it out
LG G2

It swipes in from the bottom, top or sides. You can hold the gesture and lift your finger on the button or just swipe through in the direction you want and the function will activate. It gets much more complex than my setup but I'm just keeping it simple for now

The best app to hide soft keys is UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar),it can hide your keys without the need to modify them in build prop....And replace them with its soft keys that are not only customisable but you can also make them as tiny as you want in order not ot occupy as much space...

woof i tried UDN, to hide nav bar it requires xposed with it's module..i'm not too much interested to install other sw indeed, and IMHO it's the same of autohide
Then the build.prop string qemu.hw..... works??

It worked for me.Without xposed,i just ticked the option in the settings.Also you can make the keys as tiny as you want,even if you want them visible all the time and not hidden it will help alot to make them tiny.

There is no more Multiwindow bar on Galaxy Note 4 like in other phones. Now to use multi-windows, just use the Recent App list and click the multi-window icon.
Shown here in Samsung Original advert.

I know this.

Hehe, yes... it's there, but that *beak* to pull multiwindow out with finger or stylus is missing. Only way how to cause it is holding the back key :/ Im watching for other solution (widget, custom mod etc.)
(sry for my bad english)

Try gmd s-pen control https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.spencontrol or gmd control https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol

If can use another button and got xposed installed you can get the app "Xposed additions" which let you reconfigure all your buttons to just any action you want

I need solution for not using any button at all, phone will be in samsung dock, connected to the PC monitor. I need a solution applicable to the display.

Nav Button Swap? Extra menu button?

Has anyone seen a way to swap the soft Nav buttons around yet via Xposed or any other route? Also anyway to add a quick menu on the bottom right like the Euphoria Rom has for the Nexus 6?

Gravitybox

Thank you! Now I just have to get the steps to install Xposed!

Get rid of those nav buttons altogether, and get some pie. You can have all sorts of buttons.

Is there a way to force auto hide or hide on demand??? And how do you remove them alrogether???

Never liked the idea of pie it seemed cumbersome. And half the time i accidentally hit the area to launch the pie..

I used to be indifferent about Pie, until I actually tried it. Now I can't live without it. It's so much easier to just place your finger along either side of the screen, or the top and bottom, and have your nav buttons come up. Especially on larger screens. I also like having a "clean" screen, so the more UI items I can hide, the better.

What's the recommended pie app?

Gravity box has it, or you can grab the standalone app in Play Store.

I use an app from play store called "back button" and have a semi transparent back and notification drop button on the right side. I can't quite hit the back button comfortably. (see pic)

Hope it helps you, or if you want to use Xposed, I can confirm GravityBox works on changing the nav buttons order.

The link you provided is what I'm currently using. Works great. Read the thread though. Someone flashed this then tried xposed. Not sure what he/she did on xposed, but I believe it caused issues.
