Navigation Bar enabled - editing the keys? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys:
I have enabled the Navigation Bar on my Note II, but now there are a few issues and I was wondering if anyone knows how to resolve them.
Basically I have:
Recent Apps | Home | Back
When I rotate to landscape, the keys are really messed up (tiny and all crammed in)
Also, I am coming from a Galaxy Nexus, with AOKP so I am looking to edit the softkeys so that I have a persistent menu button and a back button in the other side, also a search button.
I have tried some editing of the. kl files in /system and editing the framewrok-Res.API and I either get keys that don't work, or a bootloop.
I am running an i317m, so am currently running Saurom. Does anyone have any insite on how to fix the navbar rotation issue/customize the keys?
Thanks

[Q] How do i re-enable the ICS 3 dot overflow menu and remap hardware keys

Hi all.
Ive been trying to find a way to re-enable the ICS 3 dot overflow menu in ICS enabled apps, because personally i like it better than the current CM9 method of long-pressing the home key. I was also looking for a way to remap the hardware keys at the bottom back to the way they are setup on sence roms. Its just a personal preference really.
Anyone have any insight onto this ?
In build.prop search the line
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Delete this one and reboot...after that 3dot menu is enabled.

Softkey modding how to

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone could point me to somewhere that tells me how to mod my softkey navigation keys myself. Almost all the flashable or custom files have the layout as stock but with the menu keys enabled - I want it so that the back and recents buttons are on opposite sides (back is used more often, so why not have it on a side easier to reach with your thumb?) and the menu buttons enabled but hidden.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Q] looking to enable on screen nav buttons and disable the physical ones

I was wondering if there is a mod to bring on screen navigation (like the galaxy nexus) and disable the capacitive/physical buttons on the note 2. Does anybody know if this mod exists?

[Q] Anyone able to enable on screen nav keys (menu, home, back)

Anyone successfully enable on the onscreen nav keys on the Mini? I'm using the Mini as a running/biking gps device and use it in a forearm cradle that covers the capacitive keys. Would be nice to enable the on screen nav keys, but the build prop edit to do so causes the System UI to crash. Basically you add the line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to the end of the build.prop and reboot. Haven't been successful with it.
Anyone else try?

[Q] [Android 5.0] Quick Note from soft key bar

Hello,
it was possible in Kit Kat to quickly do a editable screenshot when you swype up and then right from your soft key bar. There you also had access to the voice mate and Google Now.
In Lollipop I only have access to Google Now, which I also have when I do a long press on the home button. So it's useless now to swype up.
The only way to do it is to have Quick Note in the soft key bar itself or in quick toggles, but I don't like it there.
Is it possible to do it the old way on Lollipop?
