Hello There
I just wanted to know, how can i add softkeys to my at&t s3 i747 like nexus devices. my bottom keys stopped working after a fall & all that works is HOME button neither MENU or BACK button lightup or work.
Searched this forum a lot found this line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to add to build.prop but whenever i did that the phone just keeps restarting with every rom that included stock, aosp, cm11 & other derivatives.
Good old captivate used to have this option with CM9 but i cant find an option to enable it anywhere. So im here to ask if there's any module to get those softkeys.
Tried all apps from playstore nothing seems to work.
Nothing can be done???
Self BUMP!

The "qemu.hw.etc..." should work fine as long as you save correctly and reboot after. If you're willing to use 4.3, use an AOKP ROM like Task650's, PAC, or Paranoid Android which comes with a persistent navigation bar option if I'm not mistaken.

I have been using olivier's cyan 11 rom,It has this amazing feature called halo,i am geting the notifications and can open the applications in halo mode but the problem in it is that i cant use the buttons ( like setting button on top and i even cant get the keyboard pop up when i open mesaage or whats app applications) please go through those screen shots i attached to this thread.

The same for me.
I'm enjoying Lollipop on my S4 Mini, but I have a problem..
With Lollipop, you can't customize the lock screen clock, right?
I haven't found a solution, because I would like to put the clock more up, so it shows on my S-Cover display.
So I tried to install other Lock screens, but the problem I have then is that the screen doesn't show if I press the power button, while the cover is closed. That only works with the Lollipop lock screen.
So how can I solve this? Does anybody know a solution?
Either can you customize the clock on Lollipop lock screen?
Or can you enable that the screen shows when I press the power button while I'm on another lock screen?
hi !
you can try with this app => https://github.com/durka/hallmonitor ,maybe it can work ,i don't know ...
(download : https://github.com/durka/HallMonitor/blob/0.4.1/bin/HallMonitor-debug.apk?raw=true , put it on ex-SD and on a file explorer ,install it with "unknown source" enabled on security parameters )

I have tried Hallmonitor, but it made my screen go black after a phone call. I had to restart the phone to be able to use it again, so I uninstalled it. I also tried S-View Lite from Google Play, but it's the same problem there like with all the other lockscreens from Google Play, I can't put the screen on with power button if the cover is closed. That only works with Lollipop default lockscreen.
I don't think it is as easy as just getting an app since the s-view cover uses an sensor and the holo sensor to activate it. I guess we will have to wait till some developers start in that or Samsung releases an SDK or even better Lolipop Update

Hall sensor works in cm11 and 12 what is missing is the sview lockscreen
State of HallMonitor development
Development of HallMonitor seems to have stopped since version 0.4.2 (latest commit of the author "durka" is from 22 Jul 2014). This version doesn't support CM12(.1) (see issue 52 on durka's GitHub page).
The suggested installation of the "MagnetOff" Xposed module is not a very useful workaround since you can't use the hall sensor (magnet sensor) anymore and would have to fall back on the proximity sensor (which is a pain in the a**).
The GitHub user "manusfreedom" has added several features and took development up to his version 2.0.2 beta (but his last commit is quite old too, from 21 Sep 2014). Has anyone tested manusfreedoms fork on CM12(.1)? Or does anyone know about a revival of HallMonitor's development? Would be so awesome to have this for CM12.1 ... :cyclops:
To customize the clock position, try this.
You need Xposed for this. -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-lock-screen-clock-mods-t3069272/post59810253
Works perfectly!
Hi everyone!
I can't seem to find any reference here how to activate the Softkey/Navbar of this phone? If you happen to know how, please do let me know.
thanks.
So you want to waste screen for something we already have as hw feature!?
you seem to imply that your definition of "waste" is somehow objective.
IMO, your reply above is a "waste". Why? because it has no value.
Please be respectful on your comments
Taking it the wrong way... And it is a waste... Why do you think people are trying to get rid of it and you are the only one who wants it...
Good luck with that...
Sigh... another wasteful reply from you. NOT all people are trying to get rid of it. Do some research first.
I think you can do this, but need to root your phone.
check http://en.miui.com/thread-27328-1-1.html
Tried it. Unfortunately it didn't work. Thanks though.
navbar or softkey,, that's subjective!!
everyone is different
I prefer navbar..
that is costumizable
not like that softkey,, the looks isn't costumizable.. that glowing softkey is ugly af
IMO
you can argue
but that will not solve our friends above's problem
here you are:
as im using MIUI and some other ROM,, i never be able to activate softkey
with all method all over internet
then i try custom rom,, RR
that is had option to enable navbar
the only thing bother me alot is
1. you can't completely disable softkey,, but xposed addition do,, if you want
2. when you succes disable it,, you can use some app to disable the led of sotkey
3. but you can't disable haptic feedback in softkey,, the only thing i tried is xposed vibration tuner,, to disable ALL vibration on phone..
so you can't completely use vibration
i've never find another solution
that best i can do to DISABLE that softkey
please share here to EVERYONE WANTED and SUCCESS do this
that will be appreciated
BY THE ONE WANTED TO
and please,, everyone that just want to argue or insult,, about the things that not relevant to the QA,, kindly dont post here
Regards
someone fond of NAVBAR
Thanks qzxi. I'm using RR now. I have yet to check the xposed addition, maybe later.
Btw, do you have a non xposed solution to making the navbar transparent? I'm using flat style color bars now for that.
I'm using gravity box to turn the led off for the capacitive buttons as well for the vibrate.
Hello, I ordered a Xiaomi Mi Max, great phone, I`m waiting impatiently. To activate soft keys in the nav bar you can edit the line in /system/build prop, must be rooted, there`s a line that says;
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 (if 0 put 1, if 1 put 0).
replace that file and give permissions 644 with Rootexplorer.apk for example. With roms cyanogenmod based it works. To deactivate the HW keys you must edit certain files in /system/usr/keylayout but really I don`t know exactly
Hello @SubwayChamp, unfortunately that didn't work for me when i was still using MIUI 8. thanks though
You can try Simple Control.apk from Play Store, in mine works.
Simple control is not really what i am looking for.
It's not an alternative a replacement to NAVBAR. it might be an alternative but not a replacement.
btw, there is a builtin function in MIUI that functions the same as simple control, if i recalled correctly it's Quickball.
In MIUI 8.
Flash TWRP
Flash supersu.
Flash Xposed.
Install Xmiui module.
Switch on Nav Bar.
In my opinion it looks ugly. (button on buttons)
but u can get it if u want it.
Finally, I think that this tuto is perfect, it has the option to enable soft keys and disabled HW keys:
https://youtu.be/2wKANork81Q
I'll try this as soon as i have time to revert to MIUI. thanks for this.
"Finally, I think that this tuto is perfect, it has the option to enable soft keys and disabled HW keys:

That didn't work as well SubwayChamp.
I never try system changing beside Xposed,, unless there is no modules that i expect..
I remember there are some transparent related xposed modules out there..
But it makes the ui looks bad,, imo
Transparent is fancy in launcher,, but when you in app,, that looks ugly,, cos the transparent through the homescreen
But i think i know what you looking for
Transparent,, in all apps,, but not through to the homescreen
That's what i looking for too
Afaik,, fscb is the closest to my need
At least that give the decor as the entire screen app
The bad are: tinted the button to b/w,, and not transparent
-----------------
And thanks for the info bout the gravitybox
Try it
All my recent phones have been Oneplus phones (5 and a 5T) and there is always an option to change the order of the recent and back buttons, I tend to prefer them the opposite way round .....but usually not an issue to change, but I cannot find any button switching on the recent and back buttons.
Also is there a option to make the recent and back buttons just drop off the screen when surfing , on the 5T you can assign a gesture so just flick up from the bottom of the screen and the buttons appear, which is really useful when reading a website as it gives you more screen to view rather than losing a centimetre from the bottom of the screen.....but once again I cannot find such an option.....anyone know how or if this can be set ?
Other than those and the battery percentage not showing ( I just use an app instead and turn the battery icon off) I am enjoying the phone, but those two fairly minor things would be nice to work out...
Probably you need root to do this on stock Android (there is already a pre-patched Magisk boot.img for the A2L). Then an app or a (still non-existent) Magisk module will do the trick.

Thanks is there any new for twrp for mi a2 lite
Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
Not yet, but as I said above, if you search in the development section (very easy, there is only one thread at the moment) there is a user that posted a modified boot image that includes Magisk.
If you flash that image via fastboot and then install the Magisk manager apk, you'll be ok (there is a link to a guide in the same post with the boot image).
u can use xda navigation gusture..

HI , The only issue with the link is that it explains for rooted then has a link for non-rooted which takes you take a page of 24 pages full of different hacks that do not seem to explain how to do this for non-rooted phones.
Do you have a direct link to the non-rooted method please.
TYI
for the guys who don´t know if you press the settings button on the navigation bar bar about 10 sec ( keep doing until a new option appears on system menu) called interface tuning or similar that you can tweak the status bar
You can use "custom navigation bar", using adb instead of root.
this is not true. if it is true, show us.

I just tried, and it works. It unblocks a menu called "System UI Tuner".

maybe you mean notification shade
not navigation bar.
yes i can confirm that pressing the settings button on the notification shades for a few second make system UI tuner to appear on settings above developer settings. and it's only purpose is for hiding some statusbar icons.
