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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe, just maybe.. They add in the function to disable or enable the nav-buttons, just like the OnePlus1.
Hallo, the new Recent Apps button is annoying me. So i tried to rebind the button to menu. This worked. I changed the /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl. (Swapped key 254 (APP_SWITCH) and key 127 (MENU). But I don't know how to rebind the APP-SWITCH key to the hold home key, wich brings me to Google Now. Google Now would be nice on hold MENU, but if I hold the changed button S Finder appears.. I don't need it. So could you tell me, how to bind APP-SWITCH to hold HOME, and Google Now to hold MENU please?
The change I made was inspired by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337229
Thanks, Colin P
You can use the xposed framwork additions module to remap hardware keys. Or any number of other Play store apps will also endeavor to do so for you.
Or you could directly edit the the /system/usr/keylayout files. As you aren't already doing this though, I can only presume that you aren't familiar with the syntax. In which case, xposed will be your best option.

I have a question that involves keylayout, since this is a similar thread, I thought I should ask here. I've added on-screen navigation buttons, and want to disable the soft touch keys (I accidentally press them a lot...). I found out through a Note 2 forum that I need to put a # sign in front of keys 158 and 139, but I think it might be different for Galaxy S5. Can someone help me disable the two soft touch keys (back and recent apps keys). Thanks a lot
You should start your own thread, rather than hijack an existing one.
In short, you can either use an app like Xposed to reassign the keys or edit the keylayout files directly. Simply leave the keys in question unassigned. If you find that the keys still light up, that can be disabled in the Settings menu with the touch key duration setting = always off.

My daughter is trying to play a game but keeps knocking the recents key, any way to disable input temporarily? I use forced hide navbar on my nexus 7 but you cant really hide physical buttons, well not until project ara at least. Aby help would be appreciated
im desperately looking for a modification that disable the 2 soft buttons (left and right centre home button), and create 3x on screen buttons? so it will be like nexus or LG with just one centre hard button like apple kind of thing. i have galaxy note 3 N9005, rooted.
at the moment i used x-note custom rom with this feature built in, but looking to flash another custom rom but i really want to retain this feature.

So surprise no other custom rom ever have this feature....
please help? thank you.

found something:
All you have to do is add this to /system/build.prop and reboot.
# enable soft navigation keys
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
will try after flashing new rom, i hope it will also disable hardware keys
Enabled immersive to hide the navbar. I also have an app that does this, but getting the soft keys to not display when you swipe up is what I am trying to accomplish.
I have an app called OnePlus gestures to enable gesture Nav, have the Navbar hidden, but when swiping, the soft keys keep appearing. Also tried the hw key build prop file set to 1, doesn't work at all to disable them.
The Oneplus app from the store has a navbar hid feature that disables it, but it seems to have broke something with my AOD substrate I like to run and the percentage disappears on the AOD screen now at the bottom, something with the overlay I guess on the latest build.
Anyway, if someone know how to disable the softkeys so I can just use Gestures...would be great...the navbar hide function, no problem..but the soft keys annoying reappearing is the issue now.
Thanks
If your using an essential phone try adb shell wm overscan 0,-143,0,0. What are you using for navigation?
