[Q] softkey mod with stock rom

I just moved from an SGSIII to the Nexus 5 and I miss the menu button, is there a softkey mod to get extra keys, like menu and search (ideally just menu)?
I see its with some custom roms but I want to avoid those, I am rooted and unlocked just would prefer to avoid custom recovery and/or roms.
Thanks!

Not only did you answer the question, but the other/hidden settings question I did not ask was answered too.
Thanks very much!

[Layers] Themes Thread (ROOT)

Let's use this thread to show/discuss layers themes and how they work with HTC 10!
LAYERS DESIGNED FOR HTC 10 Or by people with our device are in the 2nd post!
1. Here's the layers app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lovejoy777.rroandlayersmanager
2. You then need to install a layer theme from the playstore, go into the Layers app and apply SOME of the theme. Don't apply framework or system ui. Sadly, these won't work on HTC 10 at the moment. Choose the other stuff. Or, apply what you want and see if you get a bootloop. Fixes for that are below.... Feel free to apply any APP THEMES like themes for Chrome, Google Now, etc as those should all work with any device.
If you want to use a 'settings' layer you have to flash this in recovery FIRST https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424946196
Thanks to @maurydes for the zip! (NOTE: The icons won't change, but other elements will)
3. Reboot.
BTW the layers app might fc at first. Also, It requires root.
PROBLEMS? BOOTLOOP?
If you get a bootloop/constant fc after installing a layer, go into TWRP and go to advanced then file manager and delete the overlays folder here: Go to /system/vendor/overlay/
YOU NEED TO MOUNT SYSTEM in TWRP first.
So far it seems applying a FRAMEWORK will bootloop you. We're better off applying 'settings' (f;ash the above zip first) and specific app overlays (like hangouts, GNL, Gmail, etc) until a themer makes a framework layer we can use.

THE BELOW SETUP REQUIRES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
unzip the file move the unzipped folder to - sd card/internal storage - Overlays - Backup -
then go into layers manager - backup & Restore - select the htc10layers file -
after restoring without a reboot you could go back in to uninstall overlays and see the list of overlays and remove if you don't want any...

I had no idea that " Layers " would work on Sense based ROM's. I thought that was for AOSP nexus ROM's only ?

Wow..will give it a try.. Thanks

Well it doesn't work the way we want it to sadly. As I said in the OP, we can't apply framework and probably not systemUI either (I'm still testing themes though) so we're left with theming apps like in my chrome and play music screenshots.
I hope we can find some overlays that are fun and work with our phone but for god's sake don't apply a FULL layers theme and expect your phone to boot! Let me know what you guys find.

Not work for system apps but work for Google app,

Google now?
I tried it out just to see what happens and didn't boot loop but the layer I tried didn't work quite right either. Left me with a plain white, no text settings page.
AZURE FREE seems to be pretty compatible with the 10 so far. Some themes seem to be more compatible than others. Give it a shot if you want to try some free themes out and see if they work!

Hay maurydes. Glad to see you in here. Loved what you did for us on the opt ??

Does Android Pay still work with layers installed?

That's a great find, thanks for sharing! Loving Coalfield on the HTC 10, wish there was a way to make framework as well.

Yeah the settings layers won't work really. They weren't designed for our settings. You can try WHITE background layers for settings and it will change the switch colors, but nothing else till we get support from a theme dev.

I extracted them some months ago. Here's the thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/themes-apps/stock-wallpapers-notifications-t3400281
I extracted them from framework-res.apk OR the launcher apk. Not sure. Currently not on a stock rom. So If you want to know the exact source, attach "framework-res.apk" + the launcher apk. I'll decompile them & find out.

3. Open & edit them with text editor (QuickEdit)
4. Find for key 96

Happy to know that
It should work on all Nougat based Custom ROMs. Then, Enjoy Selfie :good:
I think, flashable zip make no sense, because we have to manually change some values according to device.
& That key Value i.e key 96 could be different in other device!

For those who want to check, how to change Values (see that line: key 96 CAMERA)

Sorry buddy.. it won't work in Oreo because Oreo doesn't have Goodix FP sensor support. So will have to wait till ROM update. (If you have FPC sensor then you should try this, probably it may work!)

[Guide ] how to enable fingerprint gestures

So while I was playing around with M10 prop files I discovered a nice find.
This is how to enable fingerprint gestures which was introduced in EMUI 5.1 and for thus device which has front fingerprint sensor. (includes honor magic)
!NOTE! This has been tested on Honor 8 and P9 running EMUI 5.0.1 and it might not work on older versions such as B389 or B391!
Honor 8
C432B392
EMUI: 5.0.1

C432B392
EMUI 5.0.1
Magisk https://mega.nz/#!qlhjzZTS!lhyd9r-_Lbr2enFyXpIR1ObVsYt8JwjPKWVfJ5y_fXM
No need to edit product
Let's begin:
Navigate to product/etc/prop/local.prop
And add this two lines
[email protected]:
ro.config.hw_front_fp_navi=true
ro.config.hw_front_fp_trikey=0
This should be between
####### 7.PRODUCT INFO BEGIN
####### 7.PRODUCT INFO END
Else it most likely might not be enabled
Once added reboot to see changes. Navigate to settings > navigation key and select the top to enable gestures.
Now you can enjoy full screen without navigation keys
This will let you use
Home: tap and hold on sensor
Back: tap on sensor
Recent: swipe left or right to open recent

If you wonder what theme I use its not official anywhere.
It's oreo (mate 9) dark theme which is for substratum theme engine most likely with mate 10 spectacular theme icons and preview images.
Only thing that is different is theme number and name to avoid confusion for theme manager.
Credits huawei
For darktheme and spectacular theme.

Thanks for sharing this ! Is there a way to enable both at the same time ? Sometimes it's more convenient to use the real buttons, when the phone is on the table for example. Great anyway ! ?

I've yet to say I found it by luck.
Also there some other stuff I have enabled in ui but won't share since
1. It's not working
2. Is untested
I have no clue if I'll share it or not. Just because too many people might try and nag about it isn't working or they Maybo succeeded to break something else.

Ok, editing prop file two times it works. Thanks, great work!!

It seems that just editing the file (even if you don't enable the off-screen navigation button) you loose the Fingerprint Quick Action feature.
I like lock and unlock by using the fingerprint. How could I solve?

Nice share buddy. Thanks for the trick.
BTW got this in one of the custom ROM but the issue was when this was enabled, fingerprint sensor setting was gone from settings. (Honor 6X)
Also this had some glitches mainly back and swiping it was opening google assistance sometime (not here but the custom ROM)

Can anyone possibly make a video tutorial for this? I'm pretty stupid when it comes to modifying andorid, I can take out navbars with adb but that's the limit of my knowledge lol. Also do you need root?
