Anything is possible. If you wanted to add a full size dish antenna to your phone, it is possible. If you wanted a 800mm telephoto lens on your phone, it is possible.
More info?

Are you asking if you can change which actions occur when pressing the hardware keys.
IE: Menu is home, home is back, back is search, search is menu?

I read a thread that enabled me to go in and disable the keys in the usr folder using a text editor. Was having serious ghosting issues and wanted to try something new. I would think it would be possible to change the usr key character code to execute whatever you want it to do, or am I way off base here? Just my thoughts. Just do a backup and give it a shot!

Yes you could remap keys in the sec/keylayout files. If you just want the same 4 but rearranged then just move the target around in the existing file. If you want other commands it'll be a bit more tricky since you'll need to locate the execution command for the new target which can involve decompiling the apk and searching the trigger word for the app you want called.

The key layout is the beginning but it will also require framework edits to PhoneWindowManager to change the function of the APP_SWITCH function.

Disable part of touch screen--possible?

The backlit "search" button on the lower right of the t989 screen gives me no end of trouble. Several times a day, I'll accidentally press it with my palm while doing any number of other things. This interrupts whatever I'm actually up to and always causes me have to start over in, for example, the middle of a long forum post.
What I'm looking for is some way to disable that particular key. Is there an app for that? Or some other hack?
Thanks,

I recently installed CM 9.1 on my T989. Searches during the last few days have revealed 9.1 as the most recent stable CM for this phone, and "hardware keys" isn't anywhere in these settings that I can see. What's the trick here? From what I can tell, CM10 isn't available for the T989. How new do I need?
It is most certainly available.

comment out lines on /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl, like so...
Code:
# key 158 BACK
# 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

Great Mods Rein..Worked perfect.
Man, that's killer. Thanks so much. I was actually scared doing that. Never messed around in there before. So, the soft keys are there & I just went into settings & just turned the light off to the hardware keys, but let me get this straight please, all I have to do to take the sofykeys away is turn =0 into =1, that's it (& reboot) TIA & thanks again for this.

Hello if i enable the softkeys everything works after the first reboot but after the second reboot the softkeys and the line inside build.prop is gone!
Is there a way i could set it permanently?
I thought i could use a .SH script wich adds "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the build.prop every boot? But i don't know what to write?
Would something like this work?
Placed in init.d as 999softkey.sh

you need to be rooted to do this and you have to do it with a root explorer, my favorite is total commander in the play store, it automatically detects you are trying to save onto a routed folder and asks for permissions

[MOD] Enable Navigation bar/ disable HW keys(Nexus 4 style)

I have the At&t version of Optimus G E970, I think this will work for any Optimus G.
Not responsible for bricked phones.
This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen buttons) , its very simple and easy...
To edit build.prop, on root explorer navigate to system press and hold on build.prop and open in text editor.
Add the following line at the end of build.prop file
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4
To disable hardware keys, I used root explorer go to system/usr/keylayout click and hold on kaypad.nl and choose from menu open in text editor and 139,158,172 edit the home to hom and do the same on all 3 lines and hit save and reboot,
Plus I went and deleted all the 139, 158, 172 lines from external_kbd.kl, Generic.kl, MHLRCP.kl, osp3-input.kl and qwerty.kl. I dont know if that helps because I deleted them first then edited the lines in kaypad.nl.

The easiest way to disable the default navigation buttons is by going to
system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl When you open the file you'll find
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
add a # in the begging of each one like
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
#key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
Reboot and they should be disabled, but the buttons still light up. To fix this go the settings/display/front key light Then uncheck
Turn on Front Key Light.

Odd, when I do this I cant pull the notification bar down ad the notifications show. It still shows the icons in the top bar. but not when I pull it down?
Also noticed that when I reboot my phone the first notification I get shows up normally, then they stop showing. It notifys me and everything, just cant pull down the blind to access them.
Also noticed that my menu button isnt integrated with the menu bar at the bottom. Ideas on how to do this?

I can't answer the notification issue, but I believe for the menu button a lot of apps have a built in menu button (usually in an action bar on the top right) now that they display (it is more of a tablet display, but given the resolution it probably still shows up that way).
You can still get to the menu in apps right?

[FIX/MOD] Capacitive key ghosting. All TW JB Builds

Even though there is a tutorial that has been posted on this before, it is somewhat old and buried.
THIS DOES WORK ON ALL BUILDS OF TW BASED JELLYBEAN
You will need to do a few things before we start.
1. Go HERE and download the latest version of LMT Launcher. It would do you justice to also read that thread to understand the installation and setup process for the Pie Controls. Do all of that and then move on to step 2.
2. Grab this file and place it on either your external or internal SD card.
3. On your device, use any root filemanager of your choice (i.e. ES File Explorer, Root File Explorer, etc.) Find the Generic.kl file I included and copy it. Navigate to system/usr/keylayout and change the file called "Generic.kl" to "Generic.kl.bak" (DO NOT DELETE IT) then paste the Generic.kl file that you copied.
4. Go back to home and then go to Settings/Display/Touch Key Light Duration and select Always off.
5.Reboot your device and enjoy.
Credits go to DEF3NDER: If you want navbar softkeys instead of pie.

Awesome DEF3NDER. Just got a PM from Mattix724 this morning with this as well. I'll give it a go and let you know how it works out.
Edit-works great. And I took a screenshot with the power and vol down button as well. Question. When I'm on xda app, a menu button appears. Is there anyway to have that on all the time? Basically a virtual set of the cap keys, up, all the time? Thanks for this, very cool and SO easy.
Edit(again). Holy freaking crap Batman. Nevermind. I just noticed, that on every page, app, I pull up, except for the home page, the menu for that app is already in the top right corner.

Sooo you are good to go then? I was just gonna say to temporarily adjust your dpi. The nav bar is to fatty for me at stock. It looks just about right on the screen at 200dpi IMO. Don't like losing that screen real estate.

Actually, no. It doesn't locate itself, so I'm not able to use camera as is. Downloaded after market camera to use in the mean time, but really like the camera that came with jv. Lowering the dpi sounds like a viable option. I'll look into it this evening. Thanks for the idea DEF3NDER.

I usually like around 180 with the navbar in place. Anyways, that was going to be my next suggestion.

If you have RTB (ROM Toolbox) you go to performance/build.prop Editor, then hit the menu button and go to build.prop Tweaks. It will be the first thing listed as shown in the screenshot I included.
