Hello
I have a HTC Touch Dual 850 (Australian Telstra Neon 200). I have loaded the Niki port of android using haret and it work except for the Android Menu key which is used for unlocking the screen, so I cant unlock the screen. I have used haret in an attempt to work out the key mapping. It looked to me that 237 was the the result of pressing the camera key so I edited board-htcnike-keypad.h with "#define KEY_ANDROID_MENU 237" and recompiled the kernel but nothing seemed to change. Can someone point me in the right direction to get the Android menu button working or get around it some how?
BUMP!
i to have the same problem. it would be nice to see android working properly on the aussie neon
234 is the code for the camera key on my neon200. Compiling the kernel right now. If it work i'll post it.
Hi, is there any chance to add Volume - and + beside the home buttons?

Every android pc have volume control in menu bar and i will like to have it in my Tab 2.
My rom is: Android 4.2.2 - CyanogenMod 10.1.3
Hey guys,
There have been a ton of people asking how to activate onscreen buttons and disable the capacitive buttons since CM12 builds have started rolling out. Obviously, at some point, these features will be rolled into the ROM, but until then, I figured it would be a good idea to simply present a step-by-step thread on the issue. There have been answers all over the place button nothing dedicated and centralized, so I figured I would help some guys out.
Things needed:
CM12 Build on any variety (currently K900 and bpear have "nightlies" available in development. Check em out.
Root access. Just flash SuperSU 2.16 (http://download.chainfire.eu/589/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip) if you don't have it. Root is necessary.
Zip to turn of the backlights: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p385se5ia28cqab/noSoftkeyBacklight.zip (thanks @Moody for this)
1.) Activate On-Screen buttons
- Use a program such as BuildProp Editor (look it up on the Play Store) to create a new build.prop entry. Call it qemu.hw.mainkeys, and set it's value to 0. If you are doing this manually, just add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
- Reboot.
2.) Deactivate Capacitive buttons
- Download Root Explorer or some other program that allows editing of system level files.
- Mount your system as R/W. In root explorer at least, when you get into the system, there is a button up top to do so.
- Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout. Open Generic.kl in with a text editor.
- Comment out the follow lines by inserting a pound sign (#) in front of the line:
key 158 BACK
key 172 HOME
key 139 MENU
After this, they will read:
# key 158 BACK
# key 172 HOME
# key 139 MENU
Therse are numerically ordered, shouldn't be hard to find within the document.
- Remount your system as R/O.
3.) Turn off the capacitve back lights
- Reboot into custom recovery and flash noSoftKey.zip file you downloaded earlier.
- Reboot.
That should do it! You should now have software buttons and your hardware buttons should seemingly not exist!
Any questions or comments, please leave them here.

Yes any chance of getting home button long press as search? Default is the menu button doing this.
Its not working bro
Tried and followed your steps , disabling capacitive keys works but enabling on screen keys not working even after changing build.prop , also i read in some post that enabling on screen key mod will not work in cm roms is that true can any one confirm me?
i am using following rom its CM12
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/devrom-cm12-scheduled-builds-t2938372
its very stable didnt experience any glitch till now , multi user and guest account works , all the other features are working too, try it out friends.
Pure awesomeness, many thanks for this guide. I'm back to my comfort zone, onscreen for me is just more intuitive.?
BTW, how to bring back the capacitive lights? I tried to remove the script at /etc/init.d and it only bootloops after reboot.
Edit: Nvm, found it, re-flashing the ROM brings back all to the default behavior including the capacitive backlights.

For some reason this step isn't working for me. I tried wiping cache/dalvik and it didn't fix anything
Can anyone give a screenshot of the on-screen buttons?
Is this possible to do in hydrogen OS? I love that rom, but i switch back since there is no option to turn off hardwer keys and enable software key in system?

Hello K3 Note users!
So, about 5 months ago I discovered that my back and menu keys were not working. I tried rebooting the device, pulling the battery out, changing the ROM and I even opened the phone up, to see, if every wire was connected properly....but the problem wasn't to be found. I also tried to get some support from the Lenovo's website, but I ended up getting none.
Eventually I found a workaround, that does not fix the problem itself, but it makes the phone usable again.
The solution is easy and it has already been written before:
1) Flash a custom ROM.
2) Make sure that you have ROOT.
3) Download a file manager, that can make use of the root rights.
4) Go to /system/build.prop
5) Add the line: "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the very end of the file.
6) Reboot and voila!
However, I found that some apps refused to work with the nav bar and some vital content of those apps got hidden by the buttons.
I managed to found a fix for this problem. It can be solved with a wonderful Xposed module titled "Hideable Nav Bar".
The plugin will create a little down arrow on the left of the nav bar. This will let you to hide the bar whenever you want/need to. When the bar is hidden, then bringing it back is as easy as swiping up a bit from the bottom of the screen.
(I won't give you the steps on how to install Xposed, because it has already been described in the general thread.)
Anyway if you have installed Xposed, then you want to go to "Download" and search for this module. After that you should install the module, activate it and then reboot your phone. :good:
I hope this post was helpful to some K3 Note users and if it did help you, then don't forget to press the "Thanks" button too!
