I dont like the S5 capacitive Buttons, is there a good ROM that let me assign other functions to them and add software buttons?
CM12 Temasek build, qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.prop and removing all in sec_touchkey.kl gave me all i want.
Complete shutdown of the back and last apps capacitive buttons, and beautiful dimmable virtual navbar.
yeah

Hi all,
I have order the N4 today and I'm starting to think about it.
There is a way by a Mod or something else, to remove the softkey from the screen to use the full 4.7" screen ?
My idea is to made a mod that permit for exemple by pressing the Vol + and Vol - at the same time, to remove the softkey from the screen.
What do you think about it ?
As I'm not a dev, is there anyone that can have a look on it ?
Regards.
Haven't seen this for stock roms, but AOKP has this feature. You can adjust the size of the navbar and hide it completely. Additionally, you can add the softkeys to the power options (hold power and you can go home, back, etc.). How I set mine up is using NovaLauncher. If I swipe up on the home screen with 2 fingers, it will hide/unhide the navbar.
You can also use the PAROM with PIE, so the nav keys will be shown after a gesture, or if you don't want to flash a ROM, just use LMT.

Yes, thank you I have just found it and I'm testing it (LMT).
This is so sexy !
Hallo, the new Recent Apps button is annoying me. So i tried to rebind the button to menu. This worked. I changed the /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl. (Swapped key 254 (APP_SWITCH) and key 127 (MENU). But I don't know how to rebind the APP-SWITCH key to the hold home key, wich brings me to Google Now. Google Now would be nice on hold MENU, but if I hold the changed button S Finder appears.. I don't need it. So could you tell me, how to bind APP-SWITCH to hold HOME, and Google Now to hold MENU please?
The change I made was inspired by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337229
Thanks, Colin P
You can use the xposed framwork additions module to remap hardware keys. Or any number of other Play store apps will also endeavor to do so for you.
Or you could directly edit the the /system/usr/keylayout files. As you aren't already doing this though, I can only presume that you aren't familiar with the syntax. In which case, xposed will be your best option.
.
I have a question that involves keylayout, since this is a similar thread, I thought I should ask here. I've added on-screen navigation buttons, and want to disable the soft touch keys (I accidentally press them a lot...). I found out through a Note 2 forum that I need to put a # sign in front of keys 158 and 139, but I think it might be different for Galaxy S5. Can someone help me disable the two soft touch keys (back and recent apps keys). Thanks a lot
You should start your own thread, rather than hijack an existing one.
In short, you can either use an app like Xposed to reassign the keys or edit the keylayout files directly. Simply leave the keys in question unassigned. If you find that the keys still light up, that can be disabled in the Settings menu with the touch key duration setting = always off.

Hi I was wondering if any of you that are rooted and on stock rom, can you add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 on your build prop and tell me which ORDER the on screen buttons are.
I know on my S5, it goes by Back button, Home, Recent/Menu for the nav bar/on screen buttons
I would just like to know which order it is on the S4 because I hate having the Back key on the right side...so I hate using the hard keys on galaxy devices.
and also, does towelroot work still on 4.4.4? or is it only 4.4.2?
im desperately looking for a modification that disable the 2 soft buttons (left and right centre home button), and create 3x on screen buttons? so it will be like nexus or LG with just one centre hard button like apple kind of thing. i have galaxy note 3 N9005, rooted.
at the moment i used x-note custom rom with this feature built in, but looking to flash another custom rom but i really want to retain this feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-x-note-build-21-nj4-t2947649
So surprise no other custom rom ever have this feature....
please help? thank you.

found something:
All you have to do is add this to /system/build.prop and reboot.
# enable soft navigation keys
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
will try after flashing new rom, i hope it will also disable hardware keys
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.
