I've rooted my phone to get soft keys since one of the buttons has stopped working...
I included the activation line in the build prop to activate them but the soft keys are not spaced properly.
The back key is on the left of the home button... Any help regarding this?
Did you try alternatively one of the apps available on Google Play? Such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dogusumit.ortatus&hl=en_US and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.nav.bar ?
yes i did, even bought two apps, but they dont work as seamlessly as they should

Any help would be nice. Thanks in advance.
I installed the "Soft Key" application a while ago, and while installed it seamed buggy. So i un-installed the program, and after that my bottom soft keys wouldn't even work. I can tap on the screen above the soft keys and it will take me to the: Contact / Calendar but when i try to use the soft keys, they just wouldn't work. I was hopping that maby y could reset some registry values to bring it back to default settings.
Also, i "CAN" use the soft keys when I'm not at the Today Screen. Problem is just trying to get back the functionality for the soft keys at the Today screen.
Thanks again
Hi,
I'm having a problem with Java apps and I did not find a solution for it for 2 weeks now so I decided to try experts help.
I wanna play some Java games but none of them seem to recognize the software buttons that are as you know located on the touch screen. I think Java apps do not realize that there's a touchscreen at all. I tried apps like AEBButtons (or something) to remap other hardware key but none seemed to work Is there a solution?
I'm using JBed 20080222.3.1
Please help.
I think you have to use AE Button Plus or go to button icon under settings to map the left and right softkeys. Those are the buttons shown on screen but cant be used by Jbed.
Hope that helps.
Yeah !! This works but I can define only one button there (camera button). Is there a way to add more buttons, like D-pad directions as you've said ??
I actually ended up using the volume up and down buttons as the left and right softkeys through AEBPlus. But There are options for long press button actions and other things so its just finding which button suits you best. BTW, I tried adding actions to the D pad but never managed it using AEBPlus (it didt recognise it when i pressed it).
Hi,
Im trying to play a game on my phone, which requires me to push "Yes" or "No" to "Do you want sound?".
You have to actually push the hardware left or right nav key button to proceed, which the Topaz/Td2 does not have.
So i thought simple, go into the Buttons configuration settings, and set "Call (hold)" as left soft key, and "Hangup (Long hold)" as right soft key... but this doesnt work.
Anyone have an idea of how i can mimic the nav buttons?
Cheers,
Blake
There is a program called "TopazKbdControl_GSM" that allows mapping of all your hardware keys, even Volume keys, Home, and back. It is actually pretty slick, allowing you to map Volume keys as Up and Down with a single press... and VolUp-VolDown on a hold.
Same with the bottom buttons.

Thanks!
That program is exactly what i wanted.
Unfortunately it doesn't let me get pass the screen in the game :S
Its Line Rider 1.0.5 if everyone knows how to get it working.
Hi, is there any way to replace roles of those 2 navigation keys?
I have problem with screen sensitivity on bottom right part so want to have back key left (back is muck more used and this part of screen is perfectly responsible)
This will help me a lot, I have no solution to fix this or to replace phone...
I don't know if there's a mod to exchange the functions of those 2 soft keys. What i know is you can install an on-screen navigation bar to have back, home, and recent apps buttons. It will work only on Lollipop touchwiz:

If you want to disable / re-enable the capacitive keys and physical home button:

Is there a ROM that uses soft Home & navigation keys instead of capacitative keys?
I have a Verizon S4 that I have been using on Tmobile (No LTE, just 3/4G).
I recently dropped in water and the hard home button and both capacitative buttons don't work anymore. Everything else works fine (for now).
Is there a ROM I can flash which has soft home and navigation keys on the screen instead of using the hard home buttons and capacitative navigation keys?
It would be a bonus if this ROM will let me use LTE on Tmobile.
I am on stock 5.01 but it is rooted (not sure if it's unlocked but I think I can do that).
Those can be enabled on any ROM. Soft keys are a part of Android, so they are available on any phone running Android. They are simply disabled on devices with hardware buttons.
You have edit the build.prop and add a certain line if I'm not mistaken.
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save, reboot. You should, in theory, have soft keys after the reboot.

Can you remind me where to find the build.prop?

It's in system.
This is an answer you could've gotten by googling it and you wouldn't have had to wait for my response. So you effectively just wasted time.
