Love the Tablet, Hate the HW Buttons, Software (Onscreen) Buttons possible ? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hiya all,
does anyone know if there is a way to disable the HW Buttons and enable Software (Onscreen) Buttons.
Maybe in CM ... Did anyone ever try that ?
Im sending back my Nexus 9 coz of the bad Manufacturing Quality of the Device and would love to get the 8.4 S
I just cant stand the HW Buttons
Greetings from Germany

Get GMD gesture control instead.

Thanks for the tip, thats a possibility, but i donĀ“t think i like it.
I want my Navbar

Should work for any device: http://www.androidlegend.com/enable-soft-keys-navigation-bar-android-phone-4-0/

Is there a way to swap the buttons?

[Q] Keyboard haptics

Hi,
every spec chart states that the Y doesn't have haptics but I actually receive vibration feedback when I hold the hardware home button .
What I want to know is if it's only a software limitation, if there's a way to emulate it (like "touchXplorer"), I'm only interested in typing feedback so maybe a modded virtual keypad will do the job.
Because it's nonsense to me that other gingerbread have it and mine doesn't, even if it's there.
Many thanks
Use SwiftKey x or some other Keyboard apps, they have haptic feedback!
Thanks! I've tried some.
But I've found out why there's no haptic in the young.. even with short vibration time it has an awful feeling. It's really not designed to work this way.
hei man ... i recently bought a galaxy y ...and had the same weird feeling about no haptic feedback... lights on the buttons . but i found a way just to enable haptic feedback for the back and menu buttons ... thanks to the guy that gave me the flashable zips .
here is the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1556491

thats definetely true (lol). I remove my heptic mod right after I used it. a vibrating button will drains our battery faster anyway.

[Q] lcd density with on screen buttons?

What lcd density would i need if i added on screen buttons on the stock rom so that everything doesnt look squished? Right now it's showing at 480. Thanks in advance.
Are you serious? No one know what setting would work! I'm starting to regret trading my galaxy s4 for this phone since at least people help out in that forum...smh...

Maybe no one is really using the on-screen buttons? I tried them for about an hour before I decided it was a waste of screen real estate when I have a physical home button and capacitive Back and Menu buttons. It's possible no one here knows the answer.

[Q] ROM for disabling touch buttons and lights

Hey
Just wondering if anyone has come across a ROM where you can disable the touch buttons down the bottom of the phone and their lights and just use the on screen ones?
Cheers

Why would you want that? It takes up screensize!
And I don't know if it's posible cause I think Android checks for hardware buttons (although they are soft-touch )
You can enable them in the probam rom, not sire of you can disable the soft keys though

Thanks guys. Same as my experience. Just wondering if there was anyway to disable them all together..

Blocking temporaly hardware keys like in OOS?

Hi guys
I was wondering if there was a solution like in OOS to temporaly block the hardware keys, activable by a Tile..?
Like in OOS Game Mode?
Thanks by advance guys
In addition to the official, it seems that there is no such function
I'm looking for the same thing, but didn't find an app or other ways to block capacitive buttons only while gaming.
Pheonix AEX offers a similar functionality by having a quick toggle to disable the hardware keys. Other ROMs also have an option to disable the hardware keys, but they don't offer a quick toggle.
Right, thanks for the hint!

[mod request]

Is it possible to activate the navbar plus the hard ware keys? I would like to normally use the hardware keys but have the navbar to use the music controller or the "new" clipboard feature or just have some extra buttens. Maybe for some Tasker action or so.
Iam on OOS.
I would use this mod as well. That's how I had my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser set up. Hardware keys with back on the right and soft keys with back on the left that way I could use either hand without having to reach across the phone to press back or recents. It was like a rigged up one-handed mode.
Edit for clarification: I used Xposed to have both hard and soft keys. I'm not sure how else it could be done, but I imagine it'd be a little more difficult that a few edited lines of code here and there.
It's possible to do this currently with a few different custom ROMs. Resurrection Remix, which I currently run, has the option to enable both hardware and software keys, and it is likely that many other Lineage-based ROMs would be able to as well.
