hide soft keys ??? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

is there any way to hide the soft keys when playing games?
it will be awesome if the devs do something for this

Bump! I wanna know too!

It can only be done right now from the app if its coded in to support the ICS soft keys option. The stock video player aswell as some developer video players support the option but its upto the app/game developer whether they add it or not.
Its also being worked on as an option in AOKP and apparently should be available soon in AOKP Roms.
If you want a temp solution then see *THIS* thread but its not something you can switch between on the fly you would have to enter CWM to flash between the stock/modified apk to enable or disable the soft keys.
Mark.

Thanks alot for the answer. I also found other threads about the same topic. I understand that this needs to be coded for the app as you said. I hope theese n64 emulator devs would add this in the future

Also, I wouldn't mind the softkey to disappear in the emulator making the screen "stretch" itself either. This would also work for me

Its been implemeted into the Power Menu so that you can switch the soft keys on or off at will but the dev still wants to clean it up a bit so we may see it in AOKP Roms in a week or so but it will definitely be here soon

Editing CWM on the kindle.

What would I need to try something like this. Someone had the short press is down, long press is select idea, which i thought was brilliant. I'm downloading umbuntu right now as it seems that is the preferred platform for this kinda ****. What I'm wondering is clockwork any different across different phones? Or is it the same code for every phone? I remeber on my epic someone edited CWM so the font was purple and you didn't have to scroll all the way down to select 'ok'. It seems to me like editing CWM so that short press on the power button moves down the menu, and long press selects, wouldn't be too terribly difficult and it seems like a semi-fun learning experience, and it would be nice to have a usable recovery. Anyone wanna point me in the right direction? I'm looking at you Calvin.
Never heard of umbuntu.
Also read more carefully, there is no one on the forums named Calvin doing any dev work.
Google "porting cwr to other devices". Its faily involved to get set up.

You're probably best off working on Clavin's CWM, since we know his works for flashing the KF.
Be careful though - TWRP bricked the KF when they did a backup and restore.

It was a soft brick, we used a dongle that is the equivilent of an Atrix factory cable (google teamblackhat cable) and it got me right back into fastboot.

I thought it was genius in its simplicity, because usually the most simple solution is the best. So it seems that editing cwm may be a bit above me at the moment, lets say I wanted to do something like editing a ROM, something simple like deleting a few apks from Calvin's cm7 and maybe changing a few XML files to affect the appetance. I'm running the latest unbuntu on my laptop, obviously the android and Java sdks, but what would I use to open the ROM files up and edit them? I've heard of the kitchen, but it says it doesn't support the kindle.

Looks like lines 56-102 handle key events. Looks like it would be easy to make presses on the power button return HIGHLITE_DOWN, the hard part is making long presses return SELECT_ITEM. Is there a key event called KEY_POWER_LONGPRESS or something? Anyone know where the key events are defined? If there is no predefined long press key event then code will be needed that defines one.

Alternatively, wouldn't it be possible to have an auto press HIGHLITE_DOWN every 2+ seconds (without any user input) and have the power button remain KEY_POWER_LONGPRESS as is.
What about the touchscreen? I know people are trying to get the team win recovery, but CWM will respond to the soft keys, usually by going back. Could we spoof cwm into thinking we had soft keys?
On on my Nexus menu moves down, back is back, and search is select. Would it be possible to have any screen input serve as select?
Yes, from what I can gather that is possible. The real devs are working on it. From what I can tell, me and everyone else in this particular thread are beginners who don't really know much, lol. A working recovery will most likely come from TWRP, jackpotclavin, DooMlord, or one of the other legit devs.

I think it is really not cool to imply that the people working on this are not legit devs.
I do not now them, but they are attempting something to make people lives easier and not charging anything for it. It does not mater their experience, they are being developers to this community.

I am not a developer, but since CWM already worked on this device I believe this solution will come sooner than others, good luck.

Exactly. Thank you tex321. That's why I cant stand it when people think the only 'real devs' are ones with the 'Recognized Developer' tag under their names. Some of us other devs have lives outside of xda so we have limited time to contribute.
Oh and I *may* work on getting amon_ra.
Edit: I may try 4EXT instead. the amon_ra fork i looked at only has touch scrolling. but then again our power button would suffice for a 'select'

That actually sounds pretty cool, touch scrolling and power button to select.... That would remove my fear of "oops, i accidentally touched wipe" and.... "yeah, i only hafta press power button about a dozen times to get to option i want"

[Q] What happened to my account?

So I created an account on here a few days ago, and started a thread about using a non-stock dpi and tried to find some solutions to some of the app incompatibility I was having. However, the thread was deleted, and my post count was reset to 0. What gives?
Purty sure it has to do with your post count. I don't know the threshold but you must have at least I think 10 posts B4 you can start a thread. If I'm wrong some one plz correct me.
Also search alil there are plenty of threads about your same issue.
Search can be your friend. And keep ya from being set on FIRE.
Oh yeah and pissin off Jerdog.lol.
---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Also changing your DPI will result in some apps being incompatible.
Yeah, I kinda knew that changing the DPI would do that, and i switched to a different dialer and golauncher, and that helps a lot of the time. It was just the in call dialer that was hard to use and the music app FC's.
I'm not a completely new android user, I had a sensation before and got rather into the whole ROM/Kernel flashing and whatnot, but had to switch carriers, so now its a new phone, new things to try and new problems to solve. lol.

[Q] Search key to ICS recents? MOD requested.

Ok, I have done a few searches but I have yet to find someone MOD this sucessfully on the Epic Touch. I know im not the only one but does anyone thin they can re map the "search key" on the Epic 4g Touch to the ICS (not Gingerbread) resents. This guy here got really close,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558220
and whats best about it is that it could literarly work on ANY ROM however... it toggles the Gingerbread recents. Anyone up to tweak this please???
a little old but im also looking for something like this, launchkey doesn't work or at least the lite version doesn't for what I want and im unable to find the full apk anywhere.
---------- Post added at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------
button remapper that was posted in thread provided by op allows me to almost achieve what i want but instead of having to hold the search key id like to be able to just tap it.

Like it or not...
It is best to clean flash ... each version ! ! !
Grow some and get over it....
I recommend to always flash fresh and clean... or you leave yourself open for trouble...
move /copy all important data to ext SD and/or PC... stuff happens especially if formatting.
wipe everything...including internal SD..(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to Format internal SD) AND FORMAT if coming from another rom.
Install ROM
do not install any apps yet....
let the rom settle about 30 minutes
Try out all the usual things to see if you have issues...
if not...
load up your app

Press and hold down on home screen like you are adding widget..look at the bottom right corner for screen grid. Change for home only.

The only way I can use multi window is by holding the left capacitive button and opening up 2 apps from the list of all apps that are currently running. Holding back button does nothing, not to mention that neither the left or right one has lit up at all.
Thanks.. is new...things will iron out later since it's ported rom.

You can swipe up on the left for multi windows but you can only use what you opened

It looks really fake...
No..it's a fake..when you try to download the rom from the link in the description, you will find surveys..anywhere, umeaboy was working on a cyano for edge plus..but anything yet.
I'm tired of touchwiz roms..i really want to try aosp!
I think it's a fake
They got cm13 booting up over in the note 5 forums... it works on edge plus but the navbar and capacitive buttons don't work with our s6 edge plus
Yes..i've found a build on the note 5 forum, it may works on edge plus, the bugs are:
No camera
Youtube videos not works
Text messages causes reboot
I can't live without camera, so i'll flash this rom as a secondary rom, with the dual boot app..now i'm not at home...later i'm going to download it and try it..
I'll keep you updated!
Bye
If we can get a proper kernel working on it with our device it should be a decent tester
Ok..installed as a primary rom..dual boot is not working.
The rom seems to be working, but..there are a lot of bugs..of course.
Not a daily drive, but just this, it's another step.
I forgot that you can't play your music..if you try to riproduce a song with a music player, or simply a file manager, your phone will reboot.
Remember, if you want to try it..you have to flash cm and then, without reboot the system, flash the gapps, wipe cache e dalvik, and reboot.
Keep it in mind, you can't use it as a daily drive.

I honestly can't grasp why we do not have the availability of Ubuntu Touch on these devices.
The Meizu Pro 5 came with an Ubuntu Touch model on the idenical Soc/Specs.
I agree all too well about one sidedness, especially putting up with samsung >.<
honestly, samsungs are nice devices but they start to be like apple , i mean locked on every aspect, no mods, people give up on these devices of samsng bcuz the stupid xynos cpu or w/e since samsung dont release the codes to make a custom rom like s3 with archidroid/debian , seriously samsungis gonna lose its custommers if they keep this up

But obviously they released enough to Meizu for them to release a slew of AOSP on the Exynos7420 SoC, like literally

Agreed, its just so sad to realize if I want anything actually custom on this thing I either have to put in some hrs of work, & have a wicked internet connection.
Or purchase from Asia for the same SoC from a different manufacturer :/
