Do you mean the spen function that let's you select a portion of the screen by holding down the button and drawing a shape on the screen? I don't think that's possible, however you can disable aircommand when you press the button once. This allows third party apps to use the button however they want to.
Go to: Settings>controls>S pen>air command[on/off]

I disabled "air command" in the control panel, but "Easy Clip" appears if you long press spen button.
I think you can't switch off this.

Maybe xposed can solve the issue?

Perhaps, but my (admittedly shallow) search of available Xposed modules hasn't turned up anything.
I was actually looking for an xposed module that allowed disabling the air command per app, but it seems that it's not even possible to completely turn it off...

After I made my version of the GB keyboard do paging with volume +/-, I thought a little about what else one might want. I know some people here really like to have apps in fullscreen mode, without the soft buttons, but then there is the problem of how to get out of such apps (unless the developer thoughtfully provided an exit option). Well, one could modify the GB keyboard app to map something to HOME. Here are three options that come to mind:
- Volume down press. (But then you can't adjust volume.)
- Long volume down hold. (But then your volume gets unnecessarily adjusted.)
- Half-long power hold. (Assuming I can map power keys. I haven't tried.) The down side is that if you want to pop up the long power hold menu, you will be sent home before it shows up. Still, that's perhaps not so bad if you only enable this feature for selected apps.
And here's another option, which could even work together with other keyboards:
- Power button double tap.
You press the power button twice within a short interval (say, 1/2 second) and the current app is exited. Of course, this won't look so good: the screen will turn off and turn back on. But it should be pretty easy to implement.
Any other thoughts?
Hi,
you could simply press the power-button long until the menu pops up and then switch to button-mode which provides a home-button
Instead of getting rid of the softkeys completely, I just make them smaller (24px) using Buttons for RW Rooted Archos.
I you have a rooted device, you can use the button savior app which is available on the market. You can locate this button wherever you want.

I think not. When you an application is forced into fullscreen mode by setting the FULLSCREEN.FULL option in the manifest, the button mode option isn't in the menu--or so I recall.

Question: Has anybody benchmarked the device with and without button savior to see what it does to graphics performance?

OK, now I did.
AnTuTu 2D without Button Savior: 295
AnTuTu 3D without Button Savior: 674
AnTuTu 2D with Button Savior: 289
AnTuTu 3D with Button Savior: 666
So, surprisingly little difference.

Oh, what about e.g. the default clock-app or the gallery-app by archos? They don't have those Buttons but you can get them over the menu. Is this somehow "another kind of fullscreen"?

I am thinking of apps forced into fullscreen mode either by modifying their manifest.xml file, or by editing the device's packages.xml. These are apps not designed to be used in fullscreen mode, but which can benefit from a fullscreen mode.
I keep managing to hit (with my palm) the capacitive back button (right capacitive touch press to the home button) when taking notes through the note taking application. Is there anyway to disable the back button when taking notes?
Thanks in advance for any kind assistance.

I have had this problem too and the only way I have found to overcome it is with GMD Pen control which allows you to temporarily disable the buttons. You do need to be rooted and it is a paid app, but well worth it in my opinion. The Play store link is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmdtZC5zcGVuY29udHJvbCJd
There is also a forum thread here:

The developer is very responsive to issues and ideas.
I hope this helps.
One option is to use a program like 'ultimate rotation control' to temporarily flip your screen 180 degrees.
That way the capacitive buttons are on top, away from your palms.

Hold on a sec, if the air view is tuned on (or maybe with off too) the capacitive buttons are automatically deactivated, at least that how it works on mine!

Nope, doesn't deactivate in my case, and apparently, it's not an issue solely affecting me. It's an issue that affects everyone. I'm surprised how your phone manages to deactivate the touch buttons?
Anyway to get the menu overflow button into all apps and disable menu key or make it multitask key? Xposed modules or Roms? I loathe the menu key. All of my other devices have software buttons so I'm always thrown off when going to my note. Thanks

xposed module: 3-dot menu mod do the job(add soft menu key). Install it, activate in xposed and restart.
PS. And Samsung did it again wrong, because the menus are ugly in all their apps (light grey icons on a white background).

Good stuff. This restored the 3 dot menu in Chrome after Google yanked it out in the last update.

Now to find a way to turn the menu button into a task switcher button and set long press home to google now
Youre right ... Listen to me get xposed modules install gravity box jellybean version... and use their pie controls.... make them appear on left side.... so use ur left thumb to acces home button and recent task on pie.... and your right thumb for the return button ... i know the feels... since that threw me off too ... this way you can comfortably navigate without sacrificing screen estate... .. trust me it rocks... contact me if you have more questions .. youre welcome

Long press home to Google Now can be done with Xposed. Both my phone and tablet work like that. I use Switchr for task switching with the activator in the bottom left and Button Savior Pro on the bottom right.
mine does that automatically. it also tried opening dolphin for some reason LoL
I've resorted to this because...
1. Modifying "kl" files doesn't work for me.
2. I don't like using softkeys
*PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT LIABLE IF YOU SOMEHOW DAMAGED YOUR PHONE.
*EVERYTHING IS REVERSIBLE by just removing the apps listed below.
Hi everyone,
If you are just like me, wanting to mitigate from accidentally clicking home button while supposedly trying to click space bar while typing, here is my suggestion.
1. You need root
2. Install xposed app
3. Install xposed gravityboxLp module (NO NEED FOR THIS - EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE ON Xposed Addition Module)
4. Install xposed additions module
Xposed additions: you need to remap each button to your preference.
My current setup:
BACK button:
click = go back
click+hold = forcekill foreground app
HOME button:
click = disabled
click+hold = go home (this may not work, so you might need to call your launcher activity instead)
RECENT button:
click = show recent apps
click+hold = screenshot
Don't forget to click thanks and, if not so burdensome, reply here if this has helped you. thanks
BTW, if you guys have simpler/better solution that this, please do share. thanks.

One way to temporary disable the home and task switch key is to use screen pinning:
http://www.howtogeek.com/202841/how-to-pin-screens-in-android-5.0-for-more-security-and-privacy/
Back key still work, and it last until you quit the app. I only use it for running Asphalt 8, since my left thumb tends to hit those keys when playing.

I tried this one too. But pinning foreground apps just just to mitigate from accidentally clicking the home won't work for me. thanks for this though.

In gravitybox, manage the behavior of your capacitive buttons by appropriating each purpose to meet your requirements
In xposed additions, you need to remap your home button and set a condition that will disable it's click functionality.

It works. I only installed the xposed additions, and set the home button to respond to long click on screen-on.
"RECENT button:
click = show recent apps
click+hold = screenshot "
I am sure that there are some applications where the default "click+hold" function of recent apps button, i.e. calling up the app menu, may come handy as those apps don't have the three dots in upper right corner or that hype design....yes, "material" they call it
How would you proceed to call up the menu in such cases?
Just my observation/warning for users, otherwise your solution is a good one, I used to have similar settings through Gravity Box.
Heh, my thumb still keeps hitting a "." key on my favourite keyboard instead of spacebar due to ZF2 having a slightly larger screen than my previous device )

Good that you've mentioned the possible issue with app menu. I honestly haven't experienced the issue with any app that i use to call upon app menu, but i think we can still add double tap in gravity box on recent key to do that.
So far, i am still mistyping due to big hands, but at least I no longer experience being brought back to home accidentally.
great one
does anybody here have better solution than this?
Hi,
Is there any way/app to use fingerprint sensor as a shortcut launcher?
For example, double press fingerprint to launch camera....etc
Thanks,

That would be interesting, but you do know double pressing the power button is the camera shortcut

I do know that but power button is a lot harder to press than fingerprint sensor....
Don't you feel that?
cool idea but would probably cause a lot of unintended triggering

This would be awesome. Huawei is doing something like this, I believe, a swipe down on the fingerprint reader will bring down notification. I like the idea of a double tap or swipe to launch camera. or any shortcut. You could even get advance with it and do tap patterns for multiple shortcuts.
I could see devs interested in this being a feature in their Roms. I do not believe false reads will be an issue for a scan of the finger should still be required. Randomly touching the sensor with your skin should not activate it.
Fingerprint has so much potential for many uses but so far I feel the big sensor is wasting a lot of space on our phone and only thing it does is unlock.
I have wear so if Google allows smart unlock to skip lock screen, I don't even use fingerprint sensor at all.
It'd be really cool if they let you use it as a mini-trackpad. Imagine scrolling up and down a page without touching the screen.

This is even more interesting.
The funny thing is those sensors allow that kind of feature, they call it navigation mode.
However it appears that this mode is not enabled.
