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?

Hi I coming from the nexus 5 and I love the on screen buttons. I love everything about the s5 but I not a fan of the buttons. I wanted to know if can turn them off or remap then so that they do nothing. Also maybe get home button to turn on and off the phone so that I don't have to use the power button on the side. Let me know if you have a way to do it. I prefer not to have to go and edit some XML file. If there is an app or setting I can use to do that for me that would be great.

Turn the backlights off in the display menu, install Gravity Box and set up the NavBar options etc, regarding re-mapping the home button, it's available on Custom ROMS but not sure if an Xposed module can/would work.

Thanks. Now I need to see if I can remap the buttons. I currently have infinity ROM which doesn't give the option for it.
Wanam Xpose should all need that options.

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.
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.

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.

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.
