NavBar - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I'd like to have a navbar, and disable the hardware buttons. It has been done on older notes by adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the build.prop. However, I did it on a themed stock rom (deodexed, rooted, of course), and all I got was the wonderful "System UI has stopped". Any ideas? I hate accidentally hitting menu or back
As a side note, it would be awesome if someone made this work with stock android theme and swipe up from navbar home for Google Now. :fingers-crossed:
T-Mobile Note 3 of course.

Well, I tried modifying the SystemUI.apk to work (same method as the S4), but no matter what I do, SystemUI.apk keeps force closing without even adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the build.prop.
I was copying META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the old apk to the new one, then signing the apk, but no dice. Hmm, there must be a way to enable the NavBar on the Note 3. All the files are in the stock SystemUI, except for the actual button icons. Should the icons go in xxhdpi, or xhdpi (the S4 tutorial stated xhdpi)?
Maybe I just suck at modding apk's. Any ideas?
Also, sorry for bumping my old post, but no one has yet to figure this out

I tried several root apps. Several xposed modules. And several zip packages. Nothing.

Would love this feature as well tried apps and modules as well and a no go a navbar would make the phone perfect to me

I got it! It isn't nice looking yet, but it works!

Well, I have the buttons more center, but not center. It is the menu button that is pushing everything over to the right. I set the android:layout_weight to 0.0 in the @id:rot0 and @id:rot90 in navigation_bar.xml, but the menu button is still pushing them all over.
Any ideas?

How did you get them on? Let me know and I can poke around to see if I can make it behave better in terms of centering.

Well, first I used the attachment from this tutorial here.
To just get it to work with TouchWiz's navbar background, copy everything in the drawable of the tut's attached folder to res/drawable, replacing existing files. Then copy the drawable-xhdpi into res; there isn't a folder named that, so just copy it over. That's all that is needed to make System UI not force close with qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in the build.prop on the Note 3. Now recompile SystemUI.apk, set permission to rw-r--r-- and replace the old SystemUI.apk on the phone.

Well I have them centered in portrait, haven't worked on landscape yet. I just copied the first LinearLayout from the Nexus 5 into the navigation_bar.xml, and made all the resources point to the touchwiz equivalents. I have stock android nav buttons because I was trying something
You can decompile the SystemUI.apk I attached and look at my changes to navigation_bar.xml. Keep in mind my SystemUI.apk is from Jedi Elite ROM, but it is pretty much stock so I don't see it ruining anything on another stock rom, except for any theming.
I think what I am going to do is just port the AOSP navigation_bar.xml. I have no idea why the nav buttons don't want to be centered in TouchWiz, other than they lack spacers in the xml. Probably easier to just port it anyway.

Write up here.

Need Help!!!! missing soft keys and status bar!

Hello, today I was trying to change the soft keys on the galaxy nexus using an explorer, i ended up putting the .png images on the SystemUi/res/drawable-xhdpi folder and the phone rebooted and came up with no status bar and no soft keys. Had a nandroid backup but deleted all user data without thinking about restoring because i thought the backup would stay... like on my rooted incredible. Any help on how to get soft keys and status bar back? thanks
anyone know any fixes? i need one fast please!

i did what this guy said to and wiped data , formatted system and wiped the dalvik cache and when booted the phone stays on google with the unlocked icon
I think you may have wiped the system after you reflashed the rom. Your phone won't go past Google because there's nothing there. Power off and go back to recovery from fastboot.
Is all you did was put the png's in SystemUI? There's XML and smali code that needs to be edited/added for this to work as well.

Not true. All he has to do is replace the icons and it should work. OP try replacing the icons on your computer. I like 7zip. I just right click on the apk, choose open archive, and navigate to the folder of interest. Drag the images you want in, confirm the prompt, and its good to push back to the phone.
Using an explorer is what your problem is. The easiest way to get the status bar and keys back is to keep a copy of your unmodified SystemUI apk and push it with adb or simply copy it back to the /system/app directory with root explorer. After a reboot you'll be back to normal

Did it give you full screen size, or was there just a black bar at the bottom missing the icons? I am wondering if you may have stumbled on a work around for removing the bar at the bottom and getting full screen.

Its not a work around. If you're missing the top and bottom bars its nearly impossible to navigate the phone

I was talking about using the app "Button Savior". If this removes the full bottom bar then we could install Button Savior first then remove the .pngs and have the best of both worlds, as this was the same problem many of us faced who owned an Archos Gen8 tablet that was the first (that I know of) to use on screen buttons. Using Button Savior we were able to remove the on screen buttons and still have full navigation capabilities.
if you want to change PNG's files, you will need a deodex SystemUI.apk.
a normal odex SystemUI.apk will not accept it.
if you don't get any status bar or button, it means that android has failed to load the SystemUI.apk.
find the original SystemUI,apk and SystemUI.odex and re-install them should help.

A possible working soultion to hide softkeys!

Ok, I understand there are many threads as to softkey management. I, for one would love to hide these soft keys and I think I might have stumbled upon a way that it might work, but because I am not a Dev I myself don't totally understand, how Android works, so hopefully one of the Dev here could help understand what is going on here. So I have been doing a lot of searches to find a way to hide these keys, along the way I stumbled across a few threads where users were loosing their softkeys after using some of the softkey mods, I remember reading some where a user lost his softkeys do to flashing the Deodexed version of the mod while running on a Odexed Rom. I thought I would give this a try I downloaded Deodexed version of the softkey mod from this post:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394639&highlight=soft+key) and installed it on my ARHD 2.1.3 Odexed Rom. Behold upon reboot I had full screen! Great! Just a few problems though, I lost not only my softkeys, but also my notification bar at the top. I also could not set any wallpaper but only a live wallpaper. I was able to navigate without any issues as I downloaded and installed Button Savior from the market before installing the modification. Any suggestions from Dev's as to why, how, or if this could work would be great.
Not a dev but I made mine disappear when I was manually editing pngs in SystemUI.apk to mod my softkeys. I must have did something wrong.
I believe adr and his Bamf team are including this in their upcoming rom
I think they are mapping it to power and vol up or down
That would be great! I like the full screen it just looks amazing! I don't mind using Button Savior.
So you suggest removing the softkeys by breaking them and the notification bar..

No not by breaking them, I was hoping that a Dev would be able to see how or why they get removed and in doing so find a solution to hiding the keys altogether.
Eventually. Took Honeycomb a while. Supposedly the tricks in Honeycomb were patched.
They just need time. They already have abilities to rearrange and select which keys are visible plus themes and all that.

Actually seems like a pretty nice idea. Does the OS continue to draw behind the buttons, or does the screen effectively stop where they begin?
I would rather a gesture on the softkey bar (flick up/down) to show/hide it. That way you still retain the functionality of the keys, but at the same time you can utilise the full screen when you want to. Remapping these to the hard buttons sounds horrible (unless I misunderstood that?).
If it was transparent and you wanted to click something at the bottom of an app, android wouldn't know whether you wanted to click the app or the buttons.

we already have a transparent status bar successfully mod over in the themes section. and no you dont lose any function. the bar is still there, its just see-thru. so it functions identically to current usage.
anyway hiding the softkeys is something i would love. and google could have been creative, perhaps 3 finger swipe to make them appear, etc. that way 2 finger pinch to zoom wouldnt confuse it with a 3 finger swipe, twist, etc.

This would be great. I use ADW Ex on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE, and that has a swipe for its lower dock bar works great. When you don't want just swipe down, when needed swipe up.

Needing some assistance with Launcher Edits

I am trying to remove some useless options in the SGS3 TW Launcher. In the pic below I highlighted what I am trying to remove. It is a redundant option and when you select those two options it gives you blank boxes. I have decompiled the apk and have searched through the xmls and smali. I cannot seem to find which or what determines how many slots and what it displayed in that menu.
If anyone has any ideas or insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.

I could take a look but don't have a copy of the sgs3 launcher. I just fell in love with the LG launcher. The way you can pinch the widgets on and off the home screen rocks.

Its all good man. I just now woke up myself. Get me some caffeine in me and I'm gonna try that. See what that does.
Well I tried editing the stringsxml and it seems to be somewhat in the right direction. Now when you long press the homescreen it just force closes. I have uploaded a zip that has the launcher in apk and in decompiled state for anyone that wants to look through it. Ive been working on this for like a week and kinda scratching my head right now LOL.
You will not be able to remove strings like that. any time they get called in the app it will FC if you do that. You will need to find where that string is being called in the xml or smali and remove it from there. Usually putting a 0.0dip width and height will remove them with no errors.

Right! I should have thought of that from working on a lock screen mod a few weeks ago. Unfortunately Im not that good with smali, baksmali yet. When I recompiled it, the lock screen showed up but wouldn't unlock the phone, lol. Ended up restoring.

Go to freezas system apk thread and use that to figure out how to decompile/recompile system apps.
Decompile framework-Res.apk. do all of your editing. Then you can recompile and push to /system/framework and boot the phone. If you did everything correctly, the bar at the bottom should reflect the edits.

Anybody can do this btw. Decompile framework-res.apk, look for the Navigation bar bool and set it to "true"
If you want different pngs for the buttons you need to look in SystemUI.apk
Here's a blank zip you can use
http://db.tt/mmOQPE5Z
Extract it and add a system folder then add an app folder within it (if modifying anything in /system/app or a /system/framework folder if you modified anything in /system/framework) and place your modified apk's in the appropriate folders
Zip up the META folder and system folder and flash in recovery

Second Screen Shortcuts add up to 6 [UPDATED 12-15-15]

Add up to 6 shortcuts to second screen. This means one more. I tried to do 7, but I simply don't have enough screen space with proper padding to squeeze in 7.
I can only confirm this working on the pure stock rom. Try on others, but do a backup first.
Another finding is you have to use the stock launcher to add it. The reason this is, is because you have to drag and drop it into second screen from the homescreen or app drawer. Once you have it set you can go back to using your launcher of preference.
Installation:
Flash attached zip through recovery or unzip it and move to system\priv-app\ConeShortcut and set perms rw-r-r. I am also including the original app in .bak format in case some forget to backup their original.
Again as of now I can only confirm working on the stock rom and using the stock launcher to set. Second screen is tied into so many aspects of the system so it is a very tricky thing to work on.
As you can see from the screenshots if you try to add it from the settings menu you will only have 5 options. If you look at the preview screen you can see my 6 apps and that I'm able to shuffle them around.
Thanks, I applied this mod to the rom I'm using the No-NaMe ROM!! And it's working flawlessly. Keep them coming.
Just wondering if you can get this mod to work on the other second screens such as recent or contacts.
Works great. Hope this is a gateway to other mods for the second screen.

Everything.. App shortcuts, signature, second screen apk, build prop, system ui, framework res, and the stock launcher. It's pretty much incorporated into every major aspect of the system somewhere.

I wonder if the settings menu can be modified to fit the extra shortcut as well. Also I wonder what other things could be done with the second screen. Seems to me like the default features are somewhat limited. What I would like to see is functioning widgets on the second screen.
Using apex launcher, if you tap and hold the background, you get a menu that pops up to add things to the home screen , if you select "shortcut" and then "activities" you get a list of all sorts of menus, many of the menu items aren't functional, seems there are a lot of settings and features that are included in the base Android version being used, and the features were removed, however the hidden menus for these features still exist through these "activities" shortcuts, many developer options can be accessed. For example there's a hidden menu to change notification LED settings, to change LED color etc, even though the v10 has no notification LED. There's a whole drop-down section for second screen, including a "background chooser". The background chooser opens up and lets you crop an image to the exact dimensions of the second screen, however when you apply the settings, nothing happens. It seems LG was in the process of developing further features but stopped... Maybe we can take the next step

Most likely some things will be implemented on the next v series phone. The code has been written just not intiated..
Why should we wait and hope it gets done on the next phone, and then spend all our money on it... Why not just initiate the code ourselves? If I had more coding knowledge, and a more structured chain of thought... Lol I have the processing power to figure this stuff out, just not enough ram..
Does anyone have the orig. apk or zip file. The Fav. App Tab disappeard and i need the original file t fix the issue.
