[Q] [Android 5.0] Quick Note from soft key bar - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
it was possible in Kit Kat to quickly do a editable screenshot when you swype up and then right from your soft key bar. There you also had access to the voice mate and Google Now.
In Lollipop I only have access to Google Now, which I also have when I do a long press on the home button. So it's useless now to swype up.
The only way to do it is to have Quick Note in the soft key bar itself or in quick toggles, but I don't like it there.
Is it possible to do it the old way on Lollipop?

VZW Soft Keys/Navigation Bar Mod?

I've searched through many threads now, and come up empty handed. I'm looking to change the navigation bar / soft key buttons. What I would like is:
Menu : Home : Back : Search
Long pressing home would bring up recents.
Does a mod like this exsist?

Problem solved.

Navigation Bar enabled - editing the keys?

Hey guys:
I have enabled the Navigation Bar on my Note II, but now there are a few issues and I was wondering if anyone knows how to resolve them.
Basically I have:
Recent Apps | Home | Back
When I rotate to landscape, the keys are really messed up (tiny and all crammed in)
Also, I am coming from a Galaxy Nexus, with AOKP so I am looking to edit the softkeys so that I have a persistent menu button and a back button in the other side, also a search button.
I have tried some editing of the. kl files in /system and editing the framewrok-Res.API and I either get keys that don't work, or a bootloop.
I am running an i317m, so am currently running Saurom. Does anyone have any insite on how to fix the navbar rotation issue/customize the keys?
Thanks

[Q] onscreen navigation buttons

Is there anyway to enable the nav bar on the amazon fire phone ?
When I still used the LG E980 (G Pro) with Cyanogenmod 12. I can easily add a line of command on the build.pro file and then there will be the soft-nav-button. Is this available for amazon fire phone ?
Can anyone help, please? If yes, this would be awesome
I have just been using the no root version of Back Button by ogapps. Which makes a floating or pop up navigation bar using the built in accessibility options. Back Button is the only one I found so far that doesn't trigger the TTS bug where it starts reading all the text on the screen.
Go Launcher has a Back and Menu button integrated into the launcher. The only problem is that the menu bar covers the home button, but you can use the physical button.
what I mean is the actual nav bar like the nexus 5

disable Navigation Bar in LineageOS

Hello! I'm hoping that I can disable the soft navigation bar, and go to a more traditional Fire OS style of navigation, using swipe navigation.
I found a post caliming that "PImp my rom" can disable the nav bar, but it didn't seem to respond to the tweak option, and I still have the soft nav bar
Thank you,
cheers
***Solved***

But expandable Desktop doesnt set the on screen keys to disable, only hide. They'll still show if you're swiping up.
Adding a new line with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop with a text editor Will permanently disable on-screen keys. It would have been handy if there was a UI shortcut for that somewhere.
Anyway I force-disabled Screen buttons, set Double tap to recent apps, and hold button to google now. Then bought the app you suggested to set all 3 swipe from bottom gestures to mimic the back function. Now the navigation feels just like FireOS's except amazon search assistant is replaced with google and I love it.

Using a prop editor, I was able to add h qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop <-- fantastic fix
I then customized the home button to do double tap-- app library, and hold-- switch back to last app.
Swipe Navigation works wonders, just as Chocolina stated above
Better solution
If you want to completly disable navigation bar soft keys then you must install slim kat,you can easily completly disable the soft keys and can add swipe up navigation just like amazon..i m also using slim kat rom and i have personally tested all roms but look wose slim kat is the best rom and no bugs in it..i have also disabled the system navigation keys and added swipe up to go back and hold home button for recent apps.
