D855 AOSP soft keys - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all.
I used to use GMD Auto hide soft keys on KitKat which doesn't support Lollipop yet but with the stock lollipop roms you can hide the soft keys from system settings so it did not matter initially.
I want to switch to Westcrips RR permanantly after testing it for a few days but not been able to find a way to hide the soft keys successfully.
Has anyone out there found a solution or is it just a case of waiting for developers to implement it into their AOSP roms or for a GMD update?
Cheers!

How can I remap the hardware keys on CM 10.1 WFTN?

I'm on the Cm 10.1 wild for the night ROM and I want to make it so that the search key will work as the menu key and so that I can just disable the menu key alltogether on the hardware keys...I tried changing this in Generic.kl like I did when I was on the stock rooted rom but it doesn't work on cm 10.1...can anyone explain to me how I can do this?

[MOD][4.4.x][5.0.x] Software Buttons Enabler | Flashable Zip

Hi Themers and Modders. I have a collection of flashable zips to enable Software (On Screen) Navigation Keys​
What do the SW Keys Enabler zips do???​
Enables Software Navigation Keys (On Screen keys)
Disables Hardware Navigation Keys (Home and back capacitive keys)
Disables Hardware Keys Lights (Does not disable notification LED)
TIP: You can use any Sense 6 enabler zip on any Sense 6 ROM
Disabler zips are included to restore your phone's navigation keys back to normal, no Software Keys and Re-enabled Hardware Keys and lights
Please note that if you have any build.prop tweaks, these will be gone. Also, you need to have init.d support in your ROM's kernel. To check if it does, download a root browser from the Play Store and go to /system/etc and if the folder "init.d" is there, then you are OK. If not, install a custom kernel or add it yourself using this guide.

[Q] Hidding soft keys

Is there any way to hide soft keys in specific apps like rom stock? I've just change to cyanogenmod 12 and I'm Get used to hide em in some apps
Thanks

On-screen buttons using buid.props results in an empty bar

So I have a Samsung tablet (SM-T800) and I have it rooted running the stock rom. I really want to enable on-screen buttons and disable the hardware buttons (I keep hitting them by accident all the time when I read comic books. I hate them).
So all the instructions I've see have invovled editing the
Code:
build.prop
and adding
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
. When I do that and reboot, I get a black bar at the bottom of the screens in most of my apps with no buttons on it. I assume this is the on-screen nav bar, but for some reason, all the buttons (Home, back, app select) are missing. I know on my phone where I run Cyanogen, you can customize which buttons show up. I was wondering if this was configurable somewhere and if, in Samsung's stock rom, they disable all of them? Or is it something else entirely?
What am I missing?
If you have xposed there is a great app called Ultimate Dynamic Navbar 23.2 that will allow you to have the navbar in portrait or landscape.
To disable the hard keys you need to edit Generic.kl in system/usr/keylayout

xposed says the framework isn't supported on my architecture. Surely this has to just be a setting somewhere in the stock rom?

Wrong framework, you need Arter97 builds and a deodexed rom.

Yea, I don't want to do that. I have the stock rom setup the way I want. I really don't want to wipe it. Surely there must be a way to get the on screen buttons working on the stock rom?

[Q] Navbar wont go away!

Hey!
I've been trying to get rid of my navbar as i have LMT installed. I haven't been able to find an option in my rom to disable it.
I've tried a few different thing to remove the soft navbar on my M8, first I tried two build.prop edits;
1) qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 (this worked for the same device when running SlimKat 4.4.4 & SkyDragon not sure of version)
2) ro.show.navigationbar=no
I also tried a couple of apps from the play store and from XDA (Ultimate Dynamic Navbar & GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys) but neither of those worked either, they both installed a second navbar. and this isn't what im trying to accomplish has anyone got any ideas?
I am currently running
ROM: InsertCoin 7.1.9
Android: 5.0.2
Sense: 7.0
Build Number: 4.16.401.10 CL448934
If there is something I haven't tried or done properly please could you assist and let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Nate
