How is this the wrong section? The Guy is posting code to remap buttons. This can be used in ROM DEVELOPMENT. People on xda really shock me sometimes.....

Hi Peter Good post .. So useful ....[Little O.T.]... Why not release an hybrid miui from you and delano's version? Your miui uses less ram but delano's rom is nearly full working ... So .. why not found a tem like GioMIuI or something else [/O.T.]

[build.prop tweak] softkeys enabled

To all those who want softkeys enabled at their rom if they don't have that option you can edit build.prop ( it must work with most jelly bean and ics roms)
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Reboot
Softkeys enabled

works great. Thanks

No mate you cant do that with this mod. To do that you need to modify other system file manually

purelook hd rom
I'm using purelook hd rom and it has xperia engine in it. Can't get the soft keys on it. Need help as I can't survive without these.

LMT
hi, as an alternative to standard softkeys, you could use the app LMT (requires root)
it supports gestures, expanded desktops and Pie Softkeys with long press function as in Paranoid rom and some more nice features
Could be interesting for some

Is there a way to customize the "Recent" soft key to "Menu"? When I added the script while using the CM10 rom, I could change them around in the navigation settings. I recently switched back to the stock JB version, but added soft keys because my hardkeys stopped working after I dropped it in a spa
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers!

Nope u can't edit it with this mod... For doing this u have to edit other files

Is there any way to make the Soft Keys smaller.. (at least 50% smaller than its original size/height)... its because my phone (the Galaxy S Advance) has a resolution of only 480x800.... I just feel like there is not enough space on my screen to be honest, that's why I'm asking this....
(Post Added)
- I can't take Screenshots anymore, using my Home + Power Button
- My dialer app is getting covered with the Soft keys.. so I can't call anyone because I can't tap on the call button

[Q] Home button wake

Hey guys. Is there any fix or mod for making the home button on your s3 wake the device without closing the app that was open before the screen turned off. I am really used to turning on my screen from the home button (used to work on ICS) and now (JB) everytime the screen turns off and i try to wake it with the home button, I go back to the homescreen.
Please help !! thanks
UPDATE:
So the 2 solutions that worked for me either to have s-voice enabled or #&[email protected] s-voice and install jkay framework which has a built in fix

+1

I notice that this behavior is gone on Sotmax V8 rom.

hmmm ill give it a try, ive tried omega rom and wanamlite, but both dont have this feature
is Sotmax V8 good as these roms or not in your opinion? thanks

or just go to Svoice setting and enable "launch Svoice by double pressing home button"

on 4.1.2 it do the right way.. you press homescreen,unlock and you are in the open app..

Works great! so nice! Thanks a lot!

I tried editing the Generic keyboard layout with ES note editor.
Added WAKE on key 172.
Seems to work but after a restart my menu and back keys don't work.
I just added WAKE didn't touch anything else.
Seems I'll need the Original file.
EDIT:
Fixed permissions and works great.
Thanks.

mispost

i did something little different. even after adding wake at key 172 and fixing permissions it takes me to the home screen rather than waking up the device only. i added this :
key 172 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
after doing this, re started my phone. works like a charm! :angel:

[HELP] Virtual Softkeys
