Hello everyone,
I would like to know how is it possible to add a software key down of the screen of my phone? Not personalize, but add a soft key for turn the screen off like on the capture attached.
I know that the ROM used on this screen capture is Flash Liquid Smooth, but I want to keep my Sense UI!
Thanks in advance
Nobody knows?
I think it can be done with xposed modules, I recall a video on youtube that discussed it. Might want to search on youtube for it.
I'm at work now so I can't do the searching on youtube(Damn filters) . If I recall correctly, I think it might have been Armando Ferreira that discussed it, though I'm not 100% sure.
Yes, I've already seen this, it's that kind of module that I need, but this one (Xposed GEL) doesn't match at my needs because it's for the stock launcher and it replaces the back button while I would like to add a button!

That's a good module although there is a constant consumption of RAM.
I'll try this and if someone has another solution, say it please!
I'm pretty sure there's an app on the playstore called softkeyz that'll do what you're looking for.

Yes, it's a great app, but it's only to replace the icon of the soft key and not to add one.
Take a look at this app please: [APP][4.0+]Ultimate Dynamic Navbar
Should do the trick for you.
Or if you don't use Google now, check this trick, which i also use to make my sceen off.

Hi folks, with this app you can select any application to be launched on home double tap button / bluetooth longpress.
Requires a Samsung-based rom
no Cyanogen/AOSP/AOKP, sorry. UPDATE: for non-sammy ROMS you can use Home2 Shortcut (thanks to InfiniteRecall).
Only one rule: my app use the same package name of Samsung Voice Control (I've chosen the easy way to do this hack ), so you have to delete /system/app/VoiceToGo.apk (if your rom include it) and reboot before installing the attached .apk.
In last leaked Ice Cream Sandwich roms I've found VoiceToGo is in different location:
XXLP2 > /system/app/vlingo.apk
XXLPB > /data/app/com.vlingo.client.samsung-1.apk
</useful information>
I've written this app simply because I don't like Samsung Voice control, I was using Vlingo on my Nexus One and I think it was much more efficent and less Samsung-centric. Afterwards I decided to share it with you, so I added an activity to choose any installed application.
Hope you'll like it as I do, suggestions&donations are welcome.
CHANGELOG
1.0 (12/10/11)
- first release
1.1 (13/10/11)
- changed app launch mode (google talk fc)
- changed save preference mode to work without sqlite sync (toast confirmation didn't appear, app didn't close itself automatically, and settings was lost on restart, if you had this problem uninstall and reinstall)
1.2 (15/07/13)
- Jelly Bean version (thanks e495957 for testing) - UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSION BEFORE
Removed the apk and installed ur app, but when i click on an app i want to use, nothing happens. running on 2.3.4 KH3
Ah it did work, just needed a reboot. and it kind of needs a confirmation of the app you've chosen.
One way or another, nice app ^^
a toast notification is shown when you select the app, at least on my phone
do you had VoiceToGo.apk?
maybe a reboot is needed anyway, waiting for other experiences
Thank you very much c3k, i'll test it now. It was on my todo list
edit: works perfect. thanks man
This is a great idea, i cant download it at present but will try this tonight
Thanks
Hey c3k,
GREAT application! Comes closest to a solution for the lack of a dedicated search hardware button, like the O2x has. Great, great, great! Thanks a bunch.
And, errrr, by the way, selecting the application to launch in the list on my SGS2 also throws a toast notification. Very intuitive and spartan interface, doesn't exactly need a manual. Props!
deleted
Thanks, works perfectly , I don't need voice control often, but it would be cool if we could use it anyway (but not on double tap), is there a way you could do this?

You can install Vlingo (is the reason because this app exists!)
I'm not sure, but I think it has all the Samsung Voice Command features (beacause Vlingo team made it), but it works better (at least with my voice) and it's more flexible.
No way to install Samsung Voice Command and homeMYhome on the same device...

No we are talking about home BUTTON double tap
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.crazyricky.advhomebutton
this one is long time in the market and has a better interface...
wooops, world is always smaller than one can think
my app is still slightly different: I don't replace the home application (so it can continue to work as android engineers designed), I take advantage of the service that samsung puts on his firmware just to launch the voice app (the same service that the app you report seems to irremediably kill)
...and it works from the lookscreen too!

So that app kills the process and creates its own? And your app keeps this ssamsung process and makes a different use of it, right?
Edit: You convinced me. Ok, so I'm choosing your app
Erm file is not supported on my phone..?
How do I undo this??? I downloaded it and decided I didn't want to use it, cleared data and uninstalled, no my double tap does nothing.... I want my "recent apps" back.

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!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

It looks like it's a "Live wallpaper" and by even removing the default supplied live wallpapers, this one is not effected - it sticks.
I wish someone would make is customizable.
Any DEVs out there that wanna take this on?
i wish we could unlock the screen by waving over and then pressing anywhere on the screen
that feature was available on the note 2, saved me from pressing the home button

SAME
i really want to customize this. i really want to get rid off the animation. the point of quick glance is also to preserve battery. since super amoled only lit up the pixels used. i prefer just the time and notifications light up. NO ANIMATION.

here is the APK modded glance view.apk. this is the modded version by me with all animations removed with just a simple black background. and if you want a different background. just open the .apk with 7zip or equivalent and go to /res/raw/background.png and replace it with your own imagine with identical resolution.
when you are done. go place it in /system/app
*make sure you backup your original glanceview.apk in /system/app
* restart phone right after overwriting the apk.
*phone might restart itself right after overwriting, this is normal, and it will ONLY do it once.
please only do this at your own risk.

Mine has always done that
O.k. let me put it this way: is there a setting to turn that big box or square into just a glowing animation or maybe nothing? I don't want to root yet and even though I love the Google now launcher (just upgraded from a Nexus 5) I like the G3's launcher features. So my goal is to explore and enjoy the stock launcher as much as I can, beside, LG with their new UI has giving me the feeling that being skinned is not so bad after all...
Hey I know this is normal, but why can't the icons just behave like the ones above the nav bar that just kind of glow when touched??? Does anyone know how to make this different???

My past samsung phones used to crash whenever I entered this, I was just wondering if anyone have added softkeys yet.
Nobody likes soft keys? =k
i dont really want to buy it if softkeys can't be enabled , the back button is far away from my right thumb.
I believe LeeDrOiD Rom has the navbar.
