Brothers,this is the first post from me in xda,sorry for my bad english..
Alright,back to the question...
As you know i want to make my nexus become fullscreen display so i root and use the softkeys to replace the 3original softkeys..
However,I found that the LMT Launcher v1.2 is not good enough for me so i want to find another softkey to use.....but after finding,i find that there are only 2 choice i can choose..
1:LMT Launcher v1.2
2:Button Savior Pro
So i want to ask wether are there any other choice i can choose?
If any brothers know...please tell me!!!!
Especially i want the one as same as the i phone!
The iPhone doesn't have soft keys.

the navigation bar contains soft keys...
and to answer the question you can use miui rom to make it look like iphone a bit but none of the softkey hiding techniques i know are stable.
If your rooted and have a custom rom that supports removal of soft keys like aokp or some aosp roms Try black ice rom on rootzwiki if your looking for the gsm version there the soft keys are in the power menu and the toggle on and off in there too
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413582 you can change your soft keys to what ever you want. Even down to one and make it look like the iphone
Hope that is what you looking for and don't forget to hit thanks to all the people who helped you

I know what you're talking about but I meant soft keys like the Nexus S.

You mean the capacitive buttons?
Figured all the mentions of soft keys was short for software keys. Which sorta makes sense.

Yeah, when he said soft keys, I thought of software keys, not capacitive buttons
Use aokp, it completely hides the bottom soft buttons so its total full screen. And it looks excellent.
hey brothers,,first of all..sorry,,may be i use the wrong word....
while my word 'soft key' is that the software keys....because i hide the original 3 keys and use some software to replace it...so i wanna to ask are there any other choices of software i can use to replace the function of "back home and search........
i want some apps~

First off just a correction ...
softkeys are "Software Keys" so the "On Screen" keys are soft keys .....
As far as disabling the Hardware keys, there used to be an app that let you disable buttons, but not sure if it works on the sgs2 ....
I'll look around for one, thanks

I was wondering the same thing earlier... if your using nova launcher hold down on the home screen and select shortcuts then activities then select Galaxy sII settings. Then just dissable key backlight.
Hope that helps
Edit - after re-reading what you wrote I realized you meant how to completely dissable them. I'm not really sure how you would do that. Well, good luck

I'm looking for the best solution for navigation buttons, so that I can remove my navigation buttons from the bottom of the screen and regain that screen space. What is everyone using to replace the navigation buttons? I know there is LMT, with the pie interface, but I was wondering if there was a better option.
I was thinking, is there a way to use the same gesture to swipe from the bottom that is used for google now, is it possible to put custom actions buttons alongside google now in that area? I hadn't seen it on any roms yet, but wasn't for sure. It seems like that would be a perfect place to put home, back, and recent actions.
Lol if you didn't like the on screen buttons why did u get a galaxy nexus

Because its a great device. I have no problem with them, but if there's a better solution, it would be nice to use it.
Anyone have any useful contributions?
Lmt and button savior are the only options. I prefer lmt. We could write a new app to do what you want, but it would be a major project.
After trying both, I think I prefer LMT as well. Maybe in the future we will see a mod to the Google Now shortcut, similar to how custom lock screen targets are done now.

Probably for the ability to do things just like this.
What kind of question is that?

Does anyone know which JB roms allow you to remove the soft keys? I'm currently running the final AOKP nightly but am looking to try others. Thanks.
If you remove the soft keys how do you plan on navigating thru the phone... unless there's something I haven't seen, the soft keys are needed

You can add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to you build props to remove the onscreen buttons

I've been wondering this too.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
For what reason......
The buttons disappear when they need to.
Not like they take up space on the screen. They are needed and available when they are needed and go away when they aren't needed so why try to remove something you will need.
I dont get it.
If you still want to try to remove the buttons I believe I seen this option available in the JB Sourcery ROM for the Nexus. Read about JB Sourcery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833834
Paranoid Android supports it.

I use LMT Launcher to hide the soft keys, the come up when I command them to. It gives more screen real estate. I use it on top of Nova. YOu can set gestures if you want as well. Once I got rid of them, I couldn't stand having them on my screen anymore. Now if only every app came in full-screen mode, my life would be complete.

I was able to enable the soft buttons on my P600. I like the idea of soft buttons, especially on tablets.
In addition to this device I also have an LG G3, which I upgraded to from my Samsung Galaxy S4. On the G3 I'm able to customize the buttons to a degree. Is it possible to do this on the Note 10.1? I would like to add the notification drop down soft button, and also add some long press options...
