Guys, i dropped my Galaxy W and now the 'back' button isn't working anymore, and i miss it for a lot of things. There's an app who can put that on? Like, configure to when hold de Menu button, it will go back? Or something who can help me, cause i really would like to be able to back on apps, games and stuff.
Thanks.

Well if you are on Cyanogen or any other rom based on it, you can enable soft keys or just like @geniusboy93 suggested you can use pie controls. Go to themes and apps section and look for pie controls.
Good luck.

How do i get this pie controller? On the Themes or the Apps section, on Settings, there is nothing about that. I'm using the MonsterRom, based com CM 10.1. This soft key could help to? How do i find it?
Thank you both for the help.

Sorry if this has already been posted or in wrong section, and I take no credit for it but I found it to be pretty cool. To add soft keys to rooted stock touchwiz rom all you have to do is add this line to the build prop and reboot.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Or you could just download "Soft keys" from the Play store!!!!!

Download it, get the apk and zip it in the ROM, or you can use TB to integrate it into ROM.

Why would I do that? I just edited the build prop and it's there...... I understand there are other ways to get soft keys. But I wanted them built in like the galaxy nexus so when I found this mod I thought I'd share......

Agree with you. I am using the same method on my HD2 CM9 for 8 months now.
My SGS3 will arrive today and I am glad that this method will apply to rooted stock rom. Was wondering if this method CM rom only or also stock rom.
Thank you for your information.
IMO this method is way better than some softkey apps because it doesn't use ram and is native like.
will this work on cm10?

I would love to disable my hard keys. I am new at this stuff, so forgive my ignorance.
I have a t-mobile unlocked 32gb white rooted with AOKP jellybean- 4th release
And I cannot find any other mods to the physical buttons, like making the home button a camera button. Not as important, but would love to know if you can tell me.
Thanks!

Look in the android development section. I made one to disable the hardware keys. And someone else made one to change home button to camera button.

Dear friends,
Does someone know if there is any application to easily edit the icons on the navigation bar?

Thank you for the reply,
With "Navigation bar" I mean the bottom galaxy nexus's bar (where you can find the Home and Back buttons). Not the status bar.
Oh sorry, I misunderstood!
I have no idea for that

Okay lol I don't think I can help you, never owned a nexus device, and still don't, just came across this thread and wanted to help out .
Replacing the icons is just 3/5 icons, that shouldn't be that hard.

You can do it from aokp ROM settings. I assume you'd have to be on aokp tho

I downloaded and installed masturmods but unfortunately when I go to apply the changes for the navigation bar's icons nothing happens
I think it's compatible only with ICS and not with JB
i have followed the soft keys thread here on the forum and had to factory reset the phone twice.. so be carefull, it even worked once but then after a reboot it all disapeared :/
will be happy to get a better way to make that instead of using metomorph again
Try Sorcery rom. Has that option. Has like 100 to choose from and you can still change em manually if desired.
Today's CM10.1 nightly brings some personalizations for the navigation bar. :highfive:
In part I solved the problem, even if with this, for now, we can't change buttons images.
Just use 7zip to open systemui.apk. drag and replace your own PNG into it (don't extract, just open). Use any available systemui cwm flashable zip in themes thread, replace with your edited systemui.apk. Flash in recovery, clear cache/dalvik. Reboot.

I'm running the CM10.1 nightlies and am interested in getting nexus 4 like on screen buttons.
I have tried editing the build.prop file with the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 but that only enables options in the settings and not the actual keys themselves. Anybody have ideas?

Flash AOKP 4.2.2 JB-1 MR1 Build 5. It got Navigation Bar (Virtual Button) Option. It is the same CM10.1 ROM further developed with more customization options & fixes. Everything is working Great in this AOKP ROM.

Sorry about that, no idea then. :/
Its fine, hopefully somebody else can chime in.
Edit: Just tried out AOKP thoroughly and I feel like its not as smooth as CM10.1
I'm going to bump this. I really like the nav buttons but theres too many useful features in CM10.1 that are missing in AOKP. Hopefully somebody can lead me to enabling the nav bar for cm 10.1
so i found a cool app, you just need a rooted devices and busy box installed and it will work like charm, here's the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatedevgroup.softkeyenabler&hl=tr
tested on our device, no flaws or problems
here it is, 100% working
I see people using this and my question is..why do I want to lose screen real state if I have actual buttons? Just curious not meaning to be an ahole
can be useful, if somehow you break your homebutton and it's a matter of choice, mate.
There is a yhread on this....u dont need an app to do this,,, and there is a pro version?, , lol

Exactly... also, if you use your S-pen exclusively, this could be handy for spen back-key, menu-key functionality. I thought I read that certain apps (like stock camera) get partially "cut-off" in landscape mode... not sure if that playstore app solved this or not.
I wish you could colorize either the buttons or the bar or both as in CM10/AOKP ROMS. I find myself using the soft keys exclusively when I'm running those types.
You aint Special

I was able to do it by just changeing the build.prop but the question is, is there a way to SHRINK the buttons, they dont need to be this big on this screen. I hope the next sammy phone has soft buttons or atleast ones that work with the pen!! gurr!
To enable soft keys just down load Pimp my Rom from play store and enable it. This app didn't work on v any of the 3 roms I tried it on

That's what LMT is for. And actually you don't need an app too enable this feature. It can b done directly from the phone. Just with a lil editing!!
