[Q] Disable capacitive buttons? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I'm running AOKP, and I can enable the menu bar like a Nexus. And I can disable the back lighting for the capacitive keys, but I can't figure out how to completely disable the capacitive keys. So it's still subject to accidental key presses, which is annoying.
I've read about some hack for the S3 to disable the capacitive keys, but have found no fix for the s4. Anyone have any info on this?

Aokp should have a settings menu for hardware keys where you can reassign the functions of the capacitive buttons to anything you want. Including nothing.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

That would certainly do the trick, but I am unable to find it. There is a place to full customize the menu bar with what buttons you want and what they do, but not the built in capacitive buttons.

I'm using SlimBean rom so I can't check the menu set up on AOKP easily.
But in SlimBean this feature is under Navigation -> Hardware Keys
I cna' verify that AOKP has this feature.
I know it exists in Carbon and Slim ROM
If AOKP doesn't have it and thsi is a must have feature for you, give Slim or Carbon a shot. If you use regular Phone UI instead of Tablet or Phablet UI that is available in AOKP you will find that Carbon are Slim are VERY similar as far as available features adn tweaks.

Yeah, doesn't look like it exists on AOKP. It's not a deal breaker for me, but but if Slim and Carbon have the feature, I will definitely check them out. Thanks for the info!

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Reboot and whoop!

[Q] How to easily enable onscreen soft buttons?

Hi, I'm running The Collective's jellybean rom and while I love it, it is a tad unstable. With the occasional FC's of the task switcher.
Through using multiple options from AOKP, CM10 and Paranoid I've managed to disable the front hard buttons on the phone (including the back light) and enable the onscreen buttons as found on a Galaxy Nexus. I much prefer this to the stock hard buttons as it makes the screen much easier to one hand than before.
So my question is: if I switch to another rom, whats the best way to allow me to disable the front hard buttons and enable the onscreen buttons? I'd be interested if a single rom allows this or, even better a program or app to accomplish this.
thanks in advance, I did a forum search for "soft buttons" but nothing really came up.
Its called the navigation bar and most (all aosp) ROMs have it.
Thanks for the reply, its great to hear thats a standard feature on mostly all roms, I'll be much more will willing to flash other roms in the future. I've gotten really used to the soft buttons and I'd hate to lose that feature with different roms.

[Q] Remap capacitive keys in AOSP ROMs?

Specifically, I want to change the recent apps key back to recent apps, instead of menu. I prefer the original layout over the Samsung/Legacy style pretty much every dev uses. It's too awkward for my liking, the recent apps button is being wasted as a rarely used menu key, and long pressing home for a feature I use more than pressing home is cumbersome. I don't really mind if I can't remap menu anywhere, as that'll be covered by the hidden PIE menu anyway.
And no, the solution for me isn't to switch to CM10. I have no plans to stop using Paranoid Android anytime soon.
Thanks for your help.
If you want to stick to PA I'm not sure how you can do that. But if you don't mind changing to ICJ, you can remap the capacitive keys. And you won't lose pie either as pie navigation is also included in ICJ.

[Q] Disable all capacitive buttons???

How do I completely disable capacitive buttons in the generic.kl file. Running project x bare bones. I use3 dot mod and floating launcher, and the Phantom issues is really bad. All the buttons do it. I have tried fixes with no luck. Just don't want to use at all. And I don't want to switch roms.

How to temporarily disable capacitive/hardware/navigation buttons?

As the title has suggested, I want to find a way to temporarily disable the hardware buttons during gaming. It is a really painful experience as I always hit those buttons. Is the any way through xposed or something like the miui hardware buttons toggle to temporarily disable those buttons?

i know what you mean, would be nice but i think the only way is via the settings toggle...
Sorry, there isn't. Android doesn't allow this, I think not even on custom ROMs.
