[Q] Disable all capacitive buttons??? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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.

[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] Is there a ROM that disables the annoyingly sensitive touch buttons?

I am so sick of playing a game and just barely putting my finger over the capacitive buttons and ending my app/game... Are there any ROMs that put the navigation on the screen and disable everything except the home button? Basically making it like a Nexus... with a physical home button...
Thanks - we have a lot of ROMs here - great devs! Now if only we could steal some HTC devs... lol
Liquid I know can have that done through settings. I know any rom that has Nav bars can have that done with a root file manager and text editor built in. Just have to edit the mapping of the keys in the /usr folder.

[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.

[REQ] Capacitive Button Toggle

So I've searched and found ways to disable my capacitive buttons, both the use and the lights but I haven't found any mod that will toggle their use on-off on the go. I just feel that with so many ROMS including some type of pie or gesture control I don't always need the buttons. Especially when one of my young kids is playing games on my phone and accidentally bumps the buttons. I'd love a mod that toggles the buttons almost like a lock, that can be disabled when I do need the buttons. I know I can edit the Genric.kl file and then reboot each time, but it would be really cool if someone could make a simple toggle. What do you guys think?
Sent from my... wait- I don't know what device or ROM I'm running anymore!
i can be wrong but in order to implement that type of toggle it would be necessary to reboot after the toggle so the changes can take effect. Whenever I am on an AOSP-Based rom I have a copy of my keylayout folder that I just copy of to disable the HW buttons instead of doing the changes manually.

[Q] Disable capacitive buttons?

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!
