Replacing navigatiin bar wuth LMT launcher, need help

Basically, I have managed to hide the navigation bar. I also have LMT up and running, but something still makes it a non viable option for me. Basically, a lot of apps (Dolphin Browser, Amazon App Store, etc) have a Settings button (three periods) appear on the navigation bar when in use. Is there a way to recreate this feature with LMT pie controls? Thanks in advance.

Just add a pie button for menu. I personally add it as the secondary action for my recent button. Just don't release your press after the lmt pie opens and the secondary options should pop up. You can also change the value of how long you have to hold it for in the lmt settings.

[Q] Sense 4.0/4.1 Keyboard with Hide Button?

Where can I download the newer sense keyboards with the hide keyboard button? The keyboard I have is a sense keyboard, but it doesn't have the hide keyboard button, and I don't like having to press the hard back button to hide it. I looked for it for a while, but I can't find the right one.

(How To) disable softkeys/ Home Button

So I found it really annoying when watching Netflix and accidentally hitting back or recent apps softkeys. Which pauses or exits out of movie everytime I do. Because of placement of soft keys (Navigation buttons) on Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. (Which is where I hold the tab in landscape)
So I found a way to disable back/ recent apps and Home buttons. Temporarily
Settings /Device /Accessibility
Scroll to very bottom
Enable interaction control
Use volume down and home at same time to enable
Uncheck all checkboxes
Now soft keys (Navigation buttons) and home are disabled.
Usefully when watching a movie and holding with your hand on softkeys.
(Have to disable multi window to enable this feature)
If helped, thanks would be appreciated.

I tried to do this on the demo units in Best Buy but I couldn't get it to work. Could it be the demo software they had on it?

Possibly idk? Works on mine. Sometimes tablets/ TV have a retail firmware on them which isn't the same as what you take home. So could be possible
This worked for me.

Home key had to be disabled in both of the below locations. This completely disables the hardware keys so make sure to enable the on screen keys first.
Note: The onscreen keys don't show up in landscape mode for some reason so I use LMT launcher for the few times I need navigation keys in landscape.

Does anyone know how to disable the back light on the capacitive keys? I've been able to disable the buttons from functioning and I've got LMT launcher installed but I'd really like to stop them from lighting up if possible.
The only thing that stops me from buying the tab pro 8.4 at the moment are the hardware keys. I am used to on screen buttons and as I can see in some review-videos and as some of you already mentioned, if you hold the tablet in landscape you could accidentally come in touch with the capacitive keys or the home button. Therefore I am very interested in how you can handle the tab pro 8.4 with hardware-keys disabled and on screen keys enabled. Can anyone share some screenshots how it looks like?

So at the moment there is no way to have googles on screen buttons in landscape mode?
I use xposed additions to remap buttons from single click to long press on my son's 8.4 since he kept accidentally hitting buttons and getting frustrated. Not exactly what you are looking for but it has helped us here. Take a look at button Savior on the play store as well. You could use xposed additions to disable buttons and then use button Savior buttons.

[Q] disable virtual keys in video streaming

hello members.. please, in my application payed for streaming footbal soccer italian tim league, in full screen i cannot remove the virtual keys in orizontal mode viewing. the orizontal mode is obligatory and in other apps (eg youtube) i don't see these keys... is there a way for removing these keys?
thanks
I'm not sure you can remove the softkeys on a per app basis
alternative is to root, install xposed and lg pie control, then install something like 'gmd auto hide soft keys' or lmt launcher (pie controls)

please i installed but not disappeared and how i return to visible the keys?
you have to activate lg pie control in xposed.. that will get rid of the soft keys on reboot
make sure to have an alternative controls installed though or you won't be able to navigate.. personally i use 'lmt launcher' which can be got from this very xda site, this gives you pie type controls which can be configured to your personal liking. I can't vouch for gmd controls because I've never used them, but they are popular.
