[Q] Disable capacitive buttons? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have started using "GMD Gesture Control" for "home", "resents" and "back" commands.
And I have no use for the capacitive buttons, well maybe the "options" one.
But personally I find them annoying as hell! and want to get rid of them!
I found a thread for the Galaxy S3...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823806
I locate the folder "system">"usr" > "keylayout"
But I cant find "sec_touchkey.kl"??
I am running Omega v4.0 Rom if that makes a difference...
Any help guys?

i wanna know too..
after using GMD Gesture control, the capacitive buttons are useless
any one can help?

Do you guys mind sharing your gmd configuration?

you set your own gesture to operate different command.
For example, i swipe from left to right by using two fingers can open the recent app page..
it really depends on your own choice.

So I am trying to see what gestures you guys have. Comparing to mine.

If I use the S Pen, then the phone is in my right hand.
Skip Button Savior and go right to GMD Gesture Control Paid. Works ideally for me.
The lite version lacks custom gestures so you need the paid version.

Will it be possible for a dev to switch the actual buttons though -- I'd rather not add more buttons to the screen.
instruction on the other forum already

You can find the instruction on how to change menu and back button.

AOSP ROMs stylus gestures

Hello, I am currently using vanilla root box, which is an amazing ROK, which has been my daily driver for quite some time. Manuel, the amazing developer of this ROM for our phone has recently added spen gestures as one of the settings. I was wondering if there was any way to set one of them to take a screenshot. Thank you for your assistance!

There is no way to do that as of yet.
Use vol down + the power button for screen shots.

My Pie Control Settings for the Note II

I have set up Pie Control to be a huge benefit for one handed use of the Note II, putting the hard to reach bottom buttons on the right and left sides of the screen. With this set up, I can hold the phone in either hand and not have to juggle the device around to hit the Menu, Home, Back, and Recent Apps and can also activate Voice Search in Google Now.
Here are my settings:
Autostart TouchService: Enabled
TouchService mode: pie
Set gesture input: 2
Add to pie blacklist: Added my games and other things that I touch the edge of the screen a lot with.
Activation area position: Left and right
Activation area thickness: 25
Longpress time: 1000
Animation time: 50
Pie Item 1: Home
Pie Item 1 long press: RecentApps
Pie item 2: Back
Pie item 2 longpress: RecentApps
Pie item 3: Menu
Pie item 4: SearchLongpress < This will instantly activate voice search or s voice
I'll give er a shot brotha. Thanks for this.

I like pie control. I have button one as home, button two as back, button 3 as recent apps, button four as menu and button 5 as app drawer.
The bad thing is the app drawer is pie controls app drawer so it's really leggy when scrolling through apps. I don't see a way through Pie control setting to change to the system app drawer.
On level two I have a few apps like Tapatalk, browser and messaging app. When you select the apps there is a one or two second delay before the app opens. Not sure why..

After it's enabled, you have to start it. Once started, you should see the bars on the sides. Try a lighter color wallpaper if you don't see it.

After selecting something, it takes a little bit to start back. Mine seems to work fine unless I activate it quick and then try to use it again immediately afterward. Maybe it's the apps or actions that you are using that could cause the delay. Just a thought.
I have been unable to make this work on my note 2 from sprint plus it forces close. What do I need to do here I have tried everything that was suggested but it still does not work.
Could someone please tell me how to activate this feature on the Note 2? I did it once a long time ago but now I can't remember how to do it. Swiping isn't doing anything.

It works perfectly with AOSP ROMs. I'm using with Paranoid android. You can assign a function or app to activate when you detach /attach the spen.

Yeah the last update that allows you to set what happens when you remove SPen and put it back put it over the top. I have owned it for a while. I set it to launch transparent pad then I made several gestures and double tap to open camera, I write a "X" to open XDA or Tapatalk, etc. Oh and write a "P" and it opens Papyrus. I dont use SNote at all anymore

How to disable hand touch when S-Pen is out

I'd like to disable the hand-touchscreen when I'm using the s-pen.
Is it possibile?
P.S.: I'm rooted
I also wanted to do this (make the handwriting pad default) and was told my Samsung customer support that it was not possible.
good feature

Yeah, I was just thinking about this yesterday.it would be nice if there was a Google in the notifications panel where we can just disable touch control totally and just let the pen do the job.it will be excellent for sketching.

Do you have pointer option in SPen settings turned on? When it's on and S Pen is close to screen(when you can see the pointer) hand control is turned off.

It's not enought for me. I don't want hand touch disabled only when S-Pen is near the screen, I want hand touch disabled even when S-Pen is far, so I can use Note as more similar than a real paper sheet.

S Notes and Ez pdf (several other apps do this as well) both have palm rejection which it basically what you want. Your hand will only work at the very top edge and bottom edge of the screen. You cannot enable this on the system as a whole though.

use GMD S Pen control. It has a gesture that disables finger input system wide though I map my Own gesture to the action. This even disables the capacitive buttons until you re-enable touch. CHEERS

I set gestures multiple times to ensure recognition. When using gmd gesture control I have tusker set to pause the gestures when I remove the spen so. they don't interfere with it. I'll make a thread on my setup

Strange your ROM must not support it. I am running the ML1 and it's there so you should flash that. I also had it on the American MK1 SO You Could try that or Clean Rom as well.
