I was wondering if we could somehow enable soft keys to pop up when the S pen was removed from the phone? I know there is an app that you can use gestures for the S Pen, however using soft keys on the bottom when the S pen was pulled out would be an awesome feature.

last time someone brought this up the quick gesture option built in was given as a good replacement of soft menu....but i could see tying a soft key app to the pen extraction being do_able..like the memo pop up option

well...not exactly what he was looking for but a start.
here is a quote from the original post linked
not for me but it works. the app "soft keys" would be great but it does not work. looking through the orig nook color forum might find something.

Hi
I saw this method on how to enable soft-keys mod .
Here we go.
navigate to system/build.prop
go to the bottom of the page ( document )
add this line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
save
reboot
check
Peace

this worked for me, but do you know of a way to disable the hardware keys so that the software ones are the only thing that works?
namely the hard home key the post answered menu and back

go through that thread and some of the threads linked from it...in one of them they go over how to disable them
be cautious though...the menu soft button does not appear on the home screen

comment out lines on /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl, like so...
Code:
# key 158 BACK
# key 172 HOME
# key 139 MENU
physical home button, however, will still wake up the device (which i prefer) and long pressing on it will bring up s-/google- voice. if you wish otherwise, you can disable it altogether by editing the line on gpio-keys.kl (same directory as above)...
Code:
# key 172 HOME WAKE
then turn off lights via settings/display/touchkey light duration. works on both ics and jb sammy roms. HTH

I understand how to change build.prop to take advantage of enabling and disabling the soft keys. However I was wondering if maybe one of our smart devs would be able to incorporate it into a rom, so the soft keys are disabled when the Spen is in the phone, but then enabled when the Spen is taken out. This would be a a sick feature!!!

The capacitive keys on my device seem to be rather unresponsive. Usually, I have to tap a couple of times to get them to work. It also helps if I "light them up" first by touching elsewhere on the screen before touching one of the soft keys.
Is anybody aware of a tweak of fix to crank up the sensitivity of these keys a bit?
There is a "touch sensitivity" setting in the galaxy S 2 settings. Depends on which ROM ur on as to how to access those settings

Only police place I've seen this option was on CM 10.1. Are there any TW ROMs that have that option exposed?
I'm currently on the new BlueKuban.

Attached is the download link for the apk and screenshot for setting permissions. This is a system app so you may need to push to System/app and set permissions

I'm using Kii keyboard and for some reason the enter key is also the send key and I don't like that. I want it to be the enter key. is anyone else using this keyboard and can help me out. I've looked in the settings for the keyboard and unless I missed it I just couldn't find anything about it. Thanks

If you don't like it, try another keyboard that doesn't have that option.

I uninstalled MyMagazine but when I press home on the home screen, TouchWiz locks up and it says to force close it. Is there a way to disable that button command or remap it to a different app?

If your rooted you can use the button remapper module. If not, just open the magazine app and go to settings and you should see the option to disable it from opening when pressing the home button or bottom of screen
