I have been trying to do this as well. I have tried to follow several guides but it always errors when trying to recompile framework-res.apk
this is one of the guides I have tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364757
the phone I am trying to use has a broken connection inside for the capacitive buttons and its not yet available to replace, so ics soft keys are my only hope
Ah man that sucks sir. Yeah the compiling part is what is stopping me. Its not as easy as it sounds.

Why would you want the on screen soft buttons that just takes screen space

Maybe because our hard keys are broken?

Yes, that is exactly why. I just don't understand where it's going wrong...all the guides make it look so easy. Even when I make no changes, I cant decompile and recompile without errors. Not sure want the problem is since this is really the first time I have tried such a thing.

Maybe you could ask a dev to make a flash zip

U could try the softkey app from the play store. It would take less space. It works on rooted devices only. I've tried it GB and it works fine. Don't know about ics but it's worth a shot.

I just got a new sgs2 thru a warranty exchange, but for some reason this one doesnt have a lockscreen. I press the power button and It just opens to my homescreen, also when I hold the power button it just shuts down instead of giving me the lil options of shutting down, airplane, etc. will installing a ROM fix these issues or do I gotta get a new one again?? Thanks

Yes a new rom should clear this up np. the rom im using actually gives you the option to remove the lockscreen all together. the prior user of your phone must have removed the lockscreen.... Either that or they have some shady software program that restores the phones at tmobil.

I wonder if Widget Locker alone is enough to fix your problem.
Any way to completely disable them? Running AOKP and would like a Nexus-like experience. I know we can disable the lights, I don't want them to work at all.
Get a button remaper app and remap it to focus for all 4 keys.

Get a root explorer. and either mod/delete System > Usr > Keylayout > melfas_touchkey.kl
I would delete it. Then they shouldnt work at all.
EDIT: you are going to have to delete more than just that one. I believe you are going to have to edit Generic.kl and possibly qwerty.kl as well. Let me extract them and look at them side by side in notepad++
Okay here flash this attached file and you should be golden. ive edited all appropriate files.
Thanks for the zip, it works perfectly.

Nope the zip just disables the ability to press them. Lights and everything else controlling them will well should still work. The zip just says to android that search menu back and home buttons aren't available. Just the same as a galaxy nexus or tablet would.

You should probably make a little thread with that enabler/dis-abler zip in the apps section of t989 because i'm sure there are alot more people that would find this very useful..
Just sayin, and thanks

Hey I was wondering, how do I turn the capacitive button lights off permanently. Also is there a way to have them off but still have BLN available? Right now mine stay on while I use phone, like they're supposed to but I want them off.

They are in media/ audio/ ui folder....lock.ogg and TW_touch.ogg are what you want to replace. Make sure the folder is r/w, overwrite the files and reboot...

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I did, it's still the same sound on the dialer, I'm on stock rooted, if that makes any difference as to where the file is.
I finally found the sound (thanks to CNexus). It's located in the SecContacts system app. I created a replacement apk that can be copied and pasted into system/app for those that want it.

Look in the link in my sig, I have a few more links to modified seccontacts.apk files, one with a "ding" sound and the other with the iphone sound. I only tested them with the T-mobile variant but should work fine on sprint.
Have you done anything with secgallery? I was trying to change the sounds in that too but couldn't get it to work.

I believe the gallery just uses the system sounds from system/media/ui
Sent from my T-Mobile Galaxy S3
I thought so too, but the sounds are in the app.
most are in the "raw" folder, for example..in framework you can get rid of the water ripple sound on the lock screen...
I've changed the screen touch sounds and lock screen sounds in system/media/audio/ui. I finally made a replacement app for the dialer, but the Gallery apk is giving me trouble. And there are 2 raw folders with the ogg files in there.
Does anybody know how to enable the on screen soft keys on the recent JB TWIZ roms? My hardware soft keys no longer work. I am aware I can just use a aosp ROM but I like touchwiz. I know it has been done in the past by editing something in the system..not sure how to now. Can any dev tell me how? Would much appreciate it..
Yeah. I have a tutorial. Its after step 5 you don't need to do anything from the tutorial. I also suggest using the per app Dpi changing as well for your camera at least.

Like I said, you don't need to do anything but what is after step 5. Your soft keys are no longer functional. Those steps are to disable them. Just do what is after step 5 and do the per app Dpi changer.

It does I solved your issue use a different service. That's not hard to comprehend at all. Clearly the built in screen shot isn't that great so use a different service. There are plenty of options on the play store.

Thanks again for ur response but I insist this does not solve my issue since I want the STOCK SCREENSHOT SERVICE to have a better quality and I bet that changing the build. U can do that unfortunately I don't know which properties to change for it to be done and that's why I ask the question here to see if any DEV could lead me into the right direction otherwise I would've just go to the play store and download one of those screenshot apps u mention!!

Why try to figure it out? As an app thats like 80kb and does a better job dude clearly that rom dev didnt want it to be best quality. You could have already taken a thousand of screenshots in perfect quality if you had just downloaded an app.
I don't understand you reason to use the built in service. Your not benefiting At all.

The reason why I want the built in is because the apps either put an icon on the screen or u have to use a shake movement for it which makes it bad since I'm always moving and the damn phone start taking screenshots if I find one that I could just merge it into the power menu or the screenshot combination buttons then yes it works For me
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I honestly can't see a difference from the screenshots I take with the built in feature and the original screen. They look the same when viewed on my phone unless I send them thru the messaging app which compresses them.

See thats easy to fix. Dude in most apps give you the option to turn it off any other ways to do it. And when I try to take a screenshot with power menu it would hit pause on games and bring me to a menu. Unlike using an app where it doesnt have that issue.

an app will not embed it to the power menu thats done within the ROM itself ask the Rom Dev to bake it in.
But an app like screenshot by Kastor Soft with the nexus icon for the app is really good.
