I'm not sure what I did, but now I have two onscreen buttons for zoom (Z- and Z+). See screenshot: https://goo.gl/photos/YxRxe8wMq322e3Hu6
I'd like to turn them off, but I can't figure out how.

Are you using custom DPI?
Turn off Switch Access in Accessibility settings.
Thank you, that was the fix.

The buttons on the face of the phone are illuminated along with the keyboard backlight. When reading in the dark, these buttons are too bright. Is there any way to turn the keyboard backlight off temporarily?

Thanks DevilDogVIKING for that tip.
Yes, I can set that to a minimum of 3 seconds, but what I'd really like is to find an app or widget to completely disable the keyboard backlight. A button on the Power Control widget would be perfect. The lights are very annoying when reading with a dim display in the dark.

Same here. I was wondering if I was the only one with this complaint!

Why not just close the keyboard when u not using it?

I am currently running AOKP on my Tmobile version and enabled the onscreen navigation bar. Id like to know if we have a script that disables the capacitive buttons yet on this device, and if not, a request for a dev to make one. Thank you.
I haven't been able to disable them, but if you just want to have the capacitive buttons not light up snag "Screen Filter" as it lets you turn off the button lights (set it to 100% if you don't want to dim your screen). I also used "Auto Start (no root)" to have it start at boot.

What do you mean disable those buttons? Disable actions when pressing them?
So you have a huge useless bezel at the bottom of your screen?

Well mostly disable the light. I want to use the on screen navigation keys in AOKP as a substitute.

Please don't be rude, especially because you are wrong. This option is only available in the stock touchwiz based rom. I am on AOKP.

Sry. Reading comprehension was subpar on my part.
This is actually a very useful tool if available. On my Asus Transformer Prime, there is a lock setting that disables the capacitive buttons while you watch a movie or play a game. I know the OP wants to disable the capacitive buttons for the purpose of replacing it with the AOKP onscreen buttons, but I would like to have that ability just to disable it so that I don't accidentally press on those buttons while playing game or watching video. Like a quick setting from the notification bar to lock it would be perfect!
Ill be subscribing to this thread for when we get a daily driver AOSP rom on Verizon. I too would like to disable the capacitive buttons and have on-screen navigation buttons instead. I find the capacitive buttons are too hard to press when I want to and too easy to accidentally press when I don't want to.

So, I don't know how to actually disable the button function (I'm running task's AOKP rom) and I didn't like using that Screen Filter app to keep the backlight off since it keeps it in the notification bar.
However, it is pretty easy to keep just the backlight off. Go into Settings>Display>Custom Backlight Settings. Check the "Use custom" option and go into "Edit other levels...".
Change the value for all the different levels from 1 to 0. Reboot and enjoy!

Do you happen to know what or where this line of code is so that we may modify it...?
Thanks,
Has anyone else noticed that you can no longer adjust the Ringer Volume from the Lock Screen when pressing the Volume Up or Volume Down buttons?
Have not seen this noted (mentioned) in any of the Android 4.2.2 articles or videos..
Wondering if its a Android 4.2.2 change, or if its just my phone.. (started after update. could adjust prior to 4.2.2)
Also noticed the Popup (Volume Adjustment Overlay) no longer appears when pressing Volume Up or Down on the Lock Screen when music is playing..
(could probably use this thread to discuss any other changes made in Android 4.2.2 - although there are few changes)
I noticed that too. Petty annoying, if you ask me. They still having managed to have camera quick access from lock screen with pin. And why do I have press enter every time after inputting my pin? On IPhone and windows phone you don't need to and they have study access to the camera.

I noticed that they changed the tone when going down to 14% on your battery.... Not a biggie but still something.
When downloading apps from the play store it shows an ETA now, don't think that was there before. Also notification bar animation seems slower.

As far back as I can remember having android you've always been able to adjust the Ringer Volume from the LockScreen...
I like having that ability so I could put the phone on Vibrate/Silent, while its still in my pocket as I walk into a meeting (or other event)
Now I must pull the phone out, so I can unlock it just to change the Ringer..
And Also liked the ability to change Ringer Volume via lockscreen when I was at the gym, forget to turn off ringer, then must place sweaty hand on the phone to unlock.
I used lockscreen volume all the time. I don't know why they'd remove a feature like that!
I even trawled through various settings to see if I could enable it somewhere. No luck.
If you hold down power until it shows the power options, it will let you use the volume rocker.

To access the camera from the lock screen just swipe to the right - simple

Don't know what your point is. Just tried this and it works fine for me.
Make sure you swipe from edge of screen.

I think he's talking about when he swipes over on the lock screen to access the camera he is being asked to enter his security pin, instead of just opening the camera... or maybe its not asking him for pin, and thats what he wants.. Hard to understand what he's saying.
I just wish I could remove the camera widget from the lockscreen. I've taken maybe 2 pictures from the phone, and those were to test quality.

I enabled pin to see for myself....it doesn't prompt to enable security pin.
Yip the camera should be able to be removed - since we're talking about removing stiff, so should the icons in the status bar.
You can add a widget between the lock screen and camera though. Add a widget and press and home - allows you to move widget screens around to your liking.
Well I think the this is a restriction introduced by the device administration of my company and actually not Google's fault. But HTC sense was able to quick access the camera.

Is there any way I can enable the on-screen buttons on the stock GS4 ROM. I'm trying to reduce the usage of the home button because I'm scared it might break/stop working anytime :/ The tutorial in the dev section doesnt seem to apply for me.

I think this is non sense. You will loose a part of screen for the on screen buttons. The home button will not break/stop working. You don't need to worry about this. And in the worst case if this will ever happen you can bring it back for free repair or replace it yourself (very cheap).
Personally i highly doubt that something like this will happen.

You can try downloading an app called EasyTouch, that wont take screen space. Its similar to the accesibility mode on the iphone.

You don't even need that, as this is built in, just look in the accessibility settings.
But... You can always do that IF the button fails. For now, don't worry about the hypothetical failure you may experience one day, just use the hard button

Wow did know it was there! I'll stick to the app as is more customizable. But thanks for letting us know
Sorry if this is old news but I seen a few people asking if you could disable these especially over at the clean Rom thread cause the developer included soft keys in the rom. Anyways again I'm sorry if this is old news but you go to accessibility/access control. It then walks you through a series of steps like if you want certain parts of the screen to not be affected by touch and so on. I thought this was pretty sweet. Not sure if it's for all models and firmware but worth a shot!

It's all the way at the very bottom of Accessibility. It is listed under Recognition. Turn it on. Then hold down the home button and and volume down to enter the wizard.
It should be helpful for when I do note taking at a meeting so I don't have to worry about touching the physical buttons. But for Button Savior Pro it disables the Home, Menu and Back so it's not something I can have on all the time. Plus the notification drawer cannot be interacted with anymore while this mode is on.
