Honest question. Why do so many people prefer to disable the hardware nav keys? Is there something I'm missing that makes the on screen keys better?
I don't know, but I would like to disable just the backlight of hardware buttons, without totally disabling them.

Hi All
I've been looking in to locking down an Athena and taking control / disabling all the hardware buttons. I can disable most of them in Start->Settings->Buttons. The ones I am having particular trouble with are the OK and Windows buttons to the left of the screen. I have trawled the registry and am yet to come up any answers on how to do this. Does anyone know where the registry keys may exist to do this?
Cheers

I'm curious why you would want to take away such a useful things away. Currently I use all the hardware button and wish there are more available. I use it for things such as changing SIP, rotate screen, start IGO, and control myp3 (such as volume up, volume down, next song,previous song,blank out screen, bring up the playlist,pause, unpause. This is while the device remains inside my belt pouch). The ok button is extremely useful in doing things such as hiding the phone application after use. Similarly if you're using program such as VITO fun contact, you could hide it after use without having to exit this extremely memory tiny application and able to instantly access your contact again anytime. Why would you want to disable all these useful features?
AEBPlus free version will disable all buttons

But I agree, unless you're developing an app that comandeers the buttons, why reduce functionality? You can lock the buttons while the unit is off. ???

I'm waiting for this to come out so the stock android can be ported to our phones.
I question this because idk why anyone would include soft key nav buttons and hard key nav buttons. Two rows of buttons that do the same thing?
Because it's intended to be closer to vanilla android
They can be easily disabled of course

Maybe, just maybe.. They add in the function to disable or enable the nav-buttons, just like the OnePlus1.

You question is ambiguous. We don't know if you whether you want to disable the touch keys being lit or wish to make them non-responsive. And presumably you are referring to the capacitive keys.
You can do the latter in the settings menu. And the latter with the Xposed framework Wanam module. Or by editing the keylayout files.
..
Hi,
Is it possible to invert the functions of the "back" and "multitasking" buttons, modifying a file in "system/usr/keylayout", or something like this?
Yea
GravityBox xposed, but i think some custom roms have this function built-in.

I think not, because the symbols are printed on the phone (I'm talking about touch buttons, not the "on screen" buttons)
I didn't find how to do it, anywhere. But anyway, I don't have got the phone, so I'll try when I'm going to have it
Does anyone know how to use Tasker to toggle onscreen NavBar? And... On a related question... Does anyone know how to have the capacitive keys and NavBar functional at the same time?
Many thanks!
