I know you can change the function of the touch sensitive buttons some how, been looking through the settings and still can't figure it out o CM9.
With CM9 RC4 you can do it now - see dev thread for more info

Recently moved away from IOS JailBreak to Android, and can't say im used to the new FileSystem! I am trying to map keys specifically while the lockscreen is active. Most of my searches are littered w/ the global keylayout method. I noticed how the camera app remaps vol and pwr hard buttons (to zooming and controls lock respectively), while lockscreen nulls the 4 touch keys but keeps the global hard buttons, except camera. IOS JB had "activator". It is able to set button and gesture actions for the lock screen, home screen, while an app was active, and global (across the other 3). I dont need the full "activator", just wish to do lockscreen specific remappings to better utilize unused keys that otherwise have a good function. Anyone know a good FS mod shortcut or does the lockscreen.apk it's self need to be altered to achive this?
You can simply pull the key mapping file off the phone itself and edit it in notepad, save it, and send it back on. You need root though, I believe. Follow this guide and mix it up yourself! There are many tutorials on how to do this, if this certain one isn't too helpful. This one specifically is for the G1 but the steps should be very similar.

Post #4 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046761. Epic specific button mapping file.
Thanks, but those are, what I refer to as, the global keylayout, because it affects the phone's lockscreen, homescreen, and where ever else applicable. For Example, I am trying to mod the lockscreen camera buttons to control music, but it goes back to the camera buttons @ homescreen. I would also like to set the 4 touch buttons that are normally blocked on the lockscreen to do Media stuff as well. The keylayout overtakes too much. I'm lookin a bit more into the filesystem to day, might look into the AOSP work for better insight. Still open to any suggestions on where 2 look.
By that I mean, the E4GT has the four Gingerbread-based buttons always on the bottom--settings, home, back, and search. ICS only has three, IIRC, as the home and back got merged or something. And the icons changed.
My question is, what happens to the GB buttons on ICS roms, since the buttons themselves are stuck at the bottom of the phone? Do they retain their GB functionality or do they work like their ICS equivalents?
If Ice Cream Sandwich is installed on a device that makes use of physical navigation buttons, the on-screen navigation bar disappears and the hardware buttons are used. Long-pressing Home brings up multitasking, Menu brings up the options menu, etc.
(Copied from an ICS sticky in the GN forums)
No changes made on ICS. The same button works as same way as GB.
The behavior of the button has been changed a little but the same concept and same operation.
Depending on the launcher, it may work a little differently because the launcher actually control the buttons.
If any button does not work properly, please provide more details about it. We will check it out.
If you want the onscreen buttons, you will have to enable them by decompiling the framework.apk, then open /res/values/bools.xml, find "config_showNavigationBar" and set to true
It is set to false for all phones but the gnex

i _think_ i know what you are referring to, the toggle switches in cm9-reloaded right?
if so, that's the only cm9 mod that offers that and at this time, it does not work, the dev has recently said he is rebuilding the whole whirliebird and apparently won't be updating the current v
like samsung galaxy nexus
On-Screen Buttons on CM9, like the Nexus
well i guess i don't know what you are talking about, the screen cap you added doesn't have any onscreen buttons, at least what i consider onscreen buttons.

It's the three icons at the bottom...they're literally generated on the screen itself

The bottom three icons on the screen. Those are present on the Galaxy Nexus because it doesn't have any hardware buttons (back, home, menu, or search). He's asking for that on Nitro, even though the Nitro does have hardware buttons.
I'm guessing there is a way to override the default setting and enable them, but I'm not sure.
nevermind is not for cm9 nightlies

only slould work on all CM9 RC....this is Reloaded Mod
I am so sick of playing a game and just barely putting my finger over the capacitive buttons and ending my app/game... Are there any ROMs that put the navigation on the screen and disable everything except the home button? Basically making it like a Nexus... with a physical home button...
Thanks - we have a lot of ROMs here - great devs! Now if only we could steal some HTC devs... lol
Liquid I know can have that done through settings. I know any rom that has Nav bars can have that done with a root file manager and text editor built in. Just have to edit the mapping of the keys in the /usr folder.
I'm running AOKP, and I can enable the menu bar like a Nexus. And I can disable the back lighting for the capacitive keys, but I can't figure out how to completely disable the capacitive keys. So it's still subject to accidental key presses, which is annoying.
I've read about some hack for the S3 to disable the capacitive keys, but have found no fix for the s4. Anyone have any info on this?

Aokp should have a settings menu for hardware keys where you can reassign the functions of the capacitive buttons to anything you want. Including nothing.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

That would certainly do the trick, but I am unable to find it. There is a place to full customize the menu bar with what buttons you want and what they do, but not the built in capacitive buttons.

I'm using SlimBean rom so I can't check the menu set up on AOKP easily.
But in SlimBean this feature is under Navigation -> Hardware Keys
I cna' verify that AOKP has this feature.
I know it exists in Carbon and Slim ROM
If AOKP doesn't have it and thsi is a must have feature for you, give Slim or Carbon a shot. If you use regular Phone UI instead of Tablet or Phablet UI that is available in AOKP you will find that Carbon are Slim are VERY similar as far as available features adn tweaks.
Yeah, doesn't look like it exists on AOKP. It's not a deal breaker for me, but but if Slim and Carbon have the feature, I will definitely check them out. Thanks for the info!
