Capacitive buttons - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The capacitive (menu and back) buttons have stopped working. I got them to work for a few minutes after rebooting a few times, but now nothing.
Full reset and reflash did not help. Also tried reseating a few connections inside, no help there either.
There were no software changes, no updates when this started. We started noticing this happening mostly on the Facebook virus, I mean app. Now I got nothing even on a clean flash.

It's probably a hardware issue.

I guess I can find a way to enable the on screen buttons. Maybe an exposed module or is there a standalone app?

Some ROMs have that feature built in.
There are also apps that give you Pie controls.
You can also edit a file somewhere and it enables the on-screen navigation bar. Remember, android supports it natively, it's just disabled on phones with hardware keys.

I have been away from this device and forum for quite a while. Is there a ROM that you would recommend? This has the 9505 recovery.

As I said, android supports the navigation bar natively. So flashing another ROM isn't really necessary.
You just have to edit a file, but I can't remember which. A Google search should help you further.
Do note that you have to be rooted.
But if you're really keen on flashing a new ROM, ROMs like Resurrection Remix or AICP definitely have the navigation bar option in the settings menu.
The optimized CM ROMs by the JDCTeam also have it. Standard CM should have it too.

Galaxy S4 - Control Music Tracks w/ Volume or Home Button?

I'm always used to using the volume buttons on my phone to change tracks but I can't do it on my S4 unless I flash a custom non touchwiz rom. Which I dont want tondo because it'll delete all the touchwiz features on my S4. Is there any way to change my music tracks using the volume or home button?

Sorry there's no way to do this on stock, that is why I'm running CM10.1 which can do all that you are talking about and more.
Will the features from roms such as CM 10.1, AOKP & PA be available on a custom Touchwiz rom?

you CAN in fact do it on a stock rooted rom.. if u don't know how to do it simply say so. but please don't mislead someone. to do it, just install xposedInstaller 2.1.4, and xposedtweakbox 1.4.0 then go to the misc section of tweakbox, enable it and then reboot.
Thanks!! Just what I was looking for.

Sorry guys I honestly thought there was no way, while I was on stock I was looking for an iron but I couldn't find it...
I installed all the software and followed the steps above, however PowerAmp still would not change track with the volume keys held down when the screen is off.
I'm using WanamLite Rom.
Hello,
me neither. I also tried the two apps, mentioned above, but won't work at all
hope someone will find a solution in the future
Still no solution to this?

No, it's framework, not a kernel. Also you shouldn't have problems if your rom is aosp and deodexed.

I think WanamLite is based off the stock Samsung firmware and framework. I don't think it's AOSP and I don't know what de-odexing is, apologies.
Just install Headset Button Controller from the market.
Its soooo good I bought it!

Yes, that mod in the OP is for deodex only. The original author of the mod did reply with an odex version for the Nexus 4 and I believe Busybox must be installed.

This is exactly what I'm looking for for the Google Play edition of a GS4. Well... I have a T-Mobile version, that I've rooted and flashed a GPE ROM to.
I've tried the option of editing the settings database, but it seems to carry no weight to the system with those settings. Not sure if the ROM is just "thinned out" and something is missing, (I think it's normal stock per the thread) or if I'm just not getting the "complete" changes. Like if something has to change elsewhere in addition to the database updates.
Either way, this is exactly what I'm looking for for my phone...... Anyone know of a place for this corner case? (without installing another app... I already have SwitchPro Widget installed and it's fine. Serves the purpose just fine; I want the stock options in the secondary menu instead)
Thanks!

It's a module for Xposed Framework. Check the links in my signature.
In stock rom if you long press the toggle, you active it.

Just new to 4.3 on a stock Nexus 4 (only got it today)
Had been using 4.3 CM10 on my Nexus S with the quick toggles just being a tab to enable/disable.
Tried the long press method and for the most part it does work, so that's great, but it doesn't do so with the Mobile Data, that still goes to the mobile data usage page.
Am I missing something?
Stock quick toggles are more limited, if you want to expand on it install Xposed Framework and the Gravity Box module.

Well, I don't know what relation has GravityBox with MediaTek chip.
As allways,
1. Install XposedFramework
2. Run the apk and install the framework under the tag FRAMEWORK
3. Reboot
4. Download GravityBox, that will be under the tag DOWNLOAD and install the apk
5. Activate the Module under the tag MODULES
6. Reboot
7. You will have Gravitybox installed and perfectly working​

If you read the description of gravitybox you can read that it was made specifically in mind for mediatek devices in mind.
It gives stock rom some functions from custom roms.
But it's better to flash a custom rom, especially on n4 I think.

There are several custom roms with those features and loads of others.
Take cm for example. On of the best features imho is the ability to move the text cursor with the volume keys.

Hi, do you consider changing your ROM? If yes, then go for Kurama v3 6.0.1. All the apps are applied to multiwindow as soon as you're installing them. Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm not changing roms though.

So i literally don't need an app or anything no root, nothing and just install Android M on my Note then edit services.jar??
Could you quickly explain? I am technically aware of what I'm doing just looked through that link and articles and i couldn't see where it explains exactly how to do what it's suggesting.
You just need to decomplie services jar and edit the one line but I'm pretty sure you need a deodexed rom

Custom kernels don't work without breaking camera or Wi-Fi (or both), we need the Omni version of Lightning kernel updated.
