Cannot find the call/messages/contacts buttons in home screen

Maybe it is a stupid question, but suddenly I lost the software buttons on the bottom of the home. Is there a way to restore them?
Thanks

swipe left or right on the dock

what launcher are you using? ...
you need to use your launcher menu> First you may need to long press the phone , contacts and message apps to bring them to the desktop, than use edit to place them in the Dock ( will depend on launcher and settings will vary according to their menu)
If too confusing just download a different launcher from play store and use it

This is stock Touchwiz, right? Looks like it, so I'll assume so...
Go into Applications.
You should see the icons for Phone/Contacts/Applications along with your other apps.
Press the menu button, and click edit. Now you should be able to move the icons around.
Drag the phone/contacts/messages icon down to the dock. It should drop there, and then you'll have your shortcuts back.

It worked. Thank you. It was realy a stupid condition I was in.
Thanks again.
By the way, what is "stock Touchwiz"?

Touchwiz is the stock (or default launcher) that comes with the phone

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.

it needs to flash a mod (after unlock-bootloader and root)
or completely custom rom that support this

Samsung programmers must be idiots. This would have been a great feature.

i was searching the net for this too these days but found nothing about it.
would really like to see a mod allowing us to custumize it.
i dont use (s)crapbook and sfinder for example and i have uninstalled them, so clicking the icons in air command triggers nothing atm.

In my view, all the options on Air Command are useless with the exception of Action Memo.

ahah it is more annoying then useful! every time i extract s pen i must close it >.<.... i use it only for screenshot and rarely for clipping... it's a circle , they could at least, let us choose other command to complete the circle xD

There is currently no such application.
Maybe we should contact some people that can do this and ask them if they would do it.
Do you know anyone in this forum?

U could ask wanam to add such a feature to wanam exposed.
Or the guy who did "pen window manager"
hit 'thanks' if i helped you

yes, there is an esy way, but you must have root, there is an apk, pen window manager, and even another to launch air command without detaching the pen, it is pen window launcher, pen window manager is really helpful, since you can put any app you want in pen window

[Q] Overriding Buttons without 3Minit

3Minit was pretty great. But development stopped and it was pulled from the app store. And I have neither the framework nor the corresponding settings app backed up anywhere to re-install. Honestly, cosmetics aren't a big deal to me, so I can perfectly well get by without most of those functions. But the one thing I care about is also the one thing I haven't found a fitting alternative for: changing button behavior.
To be clear, here is what I used to have my device doing:
Menu Long Press - Launch Colornote
Home Long Press - Screenshot
Home Double Tap - Recent Apps
Back Long Press - Kill app
Now, I know that there are xposed modules like wanamp that will let me restore my old settings to the back and home button. But I haven't found a solution that lets me alter what the menu button does too. I want to be able to launch Color Note from anywhere with a long press once again.
Solutions?

I also just formatted my hdd and have no backup of the framework..
I hope gary is coming back soon.
could anyone deliver a downloadlink in the meantime?
I would like to use the goldeneye 4.3 rom wit my I9505

Lemme know how it goes. BTW it's an Xposed Module, so you need to have Xposed framework installed first.

True what Joe said. But I have used it on sacs back on 4.3 and blu Kuban ROM.

[Q] Soft key hiding while on keyboard

Hi,
While in keyboard, the soft key toolbar is very enjoying, and I very much like to make them hide whenever the keyboard is used.
