[Q] About Softkeys

Brothers,this is the first post from me in xda,sorry for my bad english..
Alright,back to the question...
As you know i want to make my nexus become fullscreen display so i root and use the softkeys to replace the 3original softkeys..
However,I found that the LMT Launcher v1.2 is not good enough for me so i want to find another softkey to use.....but after finding,i find that there are only 2 choice i can choose..
1:LMT Launcher v1.2
2:Button Savior Pro
So i want to ask wether are there any other choice i can choose?
If any brothers know...please tell me!!!!
Especially i want the one as same as the i phone!

The iPhone doesn't have soft keys.

the navigation bar contains soft keys...
and to answer the question you can use miui rom to make it look like iphone a bit but none of the softkey hiding techniques i know are stable.

If your rooted and have a custom rom that supports removal of soft keys like aokp or some aosp roms Try black ice rom on rootzwiki if your looking for the gsm version there the soft keys are in the power menu and the toggle on and off in there too
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413582 you can change your soft keys to what ever you want. Even down to one and make it look like the iphone
Hope that is what you looking for and don't forget to hit thanks to all the people who helped you

I know what you're talking about but I meant soft keys like the Nexus S.

You mean the capacitive buttons?
Figured all the mentions of soft keys was short for software keys. Which sorta makes sense.

Yeah, when he said soft keys, I thought of software keys, not capacitive buttons

Use aokp, it completely hides the bottom soft buttons so its total full screen. And it looks excellent.

hey brothers,,first of all..sorry,,may be i use the wrong word....
while my word 'soft key' is that the software keys....because i hide the original 3 keys and use some software to replace it...so i wanna to ask are there any other choices of software i can use to replace the function of "back home and search........
i want some apps~

[Q] Is there a way to disable the softkeys all together?

I am on the paranoidandroid rom and was wondering if i could disable the softkeys completely and rely on the on screen nav bar

First off just a correction ...
softkeys are "Software Keys" so the "On Screen" keys are soft keys .....
As far as disabling the Hardware keys, there used to be an app that let you disable buttons, but not sure if it works on the sgs2 ....

I'll look around for one, thanks

I was wondering the same thing earlier... if your using nova launcher hold down on the home screen and select shortcuts then activities then select Galaxy sII settings. Then just dissable key backlight.
Hope that helps
Edit - after re-reading what you wrote I realized you meant how to completely dissable them. I'm not really sure how you would do that. Well, good luck

Which JB roms let you remove the soft keys?

Does anyone know which JB roms allow you to remove the soft keys? I'm currently running the final AOKP nightly but am looking to try others. Thanks.

If you remove the soft keys how do you plan on navigating thru the phone... unless there's something I haven't seen, the soft keys are needed

You can add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to you build props to remove the onscreen buttons

I've been wondering this too.

For what reason......
The buttons disappear when they need to.
Not like they take up space on the screen. They are needed and available when they are needed and go away when they aren't needed so why try to remove something you will need.
I dont get it.
If you still want to try to remove the buttons I believe I seen this option available in the JB Sourcery ROM for the Nexus. Read about JB Sourcery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833834

Paranoid Android supports it.

I use LMT Launcher to hide the soft keys, the come up when I command them to. It gives more screen real estate. I use it on top of Nova. YOu can set gestures if you want as well. Once I got rid of them, I couldn't stand having them on my screen anymore. Now if only every app came in full-screen mode, my life would be complete.

[Q] Softkey Action

Hey guys,
I want to change the function of my softkeys. I want to long press the left settings softkey to open recent apps, so i don't have to use my home button. I am on the latest CheckRom JB. I know this feature is possible on CM10. Is it possible on CheckRom?

is there a soft key in leaked JB ?!!

No sorry, i meant the softkeys next to the physical home button.

Soft Buttons

I was able to enable the soft buttons on my P600. I like the idea of soft buttons, especially on tablets.
In addition to this device I also have an LG G3, which I upgraded to from my Samsung Galaxy S4. On the G3 I'm able to customize the buttons to a degree. Is it possible to do this on the Note 10.1? I would like to add the notification drop down soft button, and also add some long press options...
