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.

Heres the Droplet sound from the S3 it works on Tw base roms and Asop base roms and u need some kind of root explorer
Instrustions:
-download http://db.tt/npQ8uCxu
-copy to System/media/audio/ui
-(TWBase)Paste it and replace the old TW_Click with the new
-(AospBase)Rename It To Effect_Tick.ogg Paste it in the same location
-last set the permissions just like the other sounds then reboot!

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.
Even though there is a tutorial that has been posted on this before, it is somewhat old and buried.
THIS DOES WORK ON ALL BUILDS OF TW BASED JELLYBEAN
You will need to do a few things before we start.
1. Go HERE and download the latest version of LMT Launcher. It would do you justice to also read that thread to understand the installation and setup process for the Pie Controls. Do all of that and then move on to step 2.
2. Grab this file and place it on either your external or internal SD card.
3. On your device, use any root filemanager of your choice (i.e. ES File Explorer, Root File Explorer, etc.) Find the Generic.kl file I included and copy it. Navigate to system/usr/keylayout and change the file called "Generic.kl" to "Generic.kl.bak" (DO NOT DELETE IT) then paste the Generic.kl file that you copied.
4. Go back to home and then go to Settings/Display/Touch Key Light Duration and select Always off.
5.Reboot your device and enjoy.

Awesome DEF3NDER. Just got a PM from Mattix724 this morning with this as well. I'll give it a go and let you know how it works out.

Edit(again). Holy freaking crap Batman. Nevermind. I just noticed, that on every page, app, I pull up, except for the home page, the menu for that app is already in the top right corner.

Actually, no. It doesn't locate itself, so I'm not able to use camera as is. Downloaded after market camera to use in the mean time, but really like the camera that came with jv. Lowering the dpi sounds like a viable option. I'll look into it this evening. Thanks for the idea DEF3NDER.
