So there is no way without rooting?

I also find the volume rocker to be really annoying as I always accidentally hit them. It would be nice to be able to turn these off

Could someone develop a app that acts like the back button?

I wish so bad I could have one of these quick keys as the back button but you can't, if there was a app that did that we could just assign that app....
Anyone else wish one could be set as the back button?

No problems with remapping with my G2 so far.
User1 , user2, user3 are the three quick keys, starting from the left of the keyborad.
I'm temp rooted and doesn't seem to work cause I have to reboot and even after I have it root on reboot it doesn't stay

Virtual buttons instead of capacitive?

Hi.
Been searching around the net but could not find anything.
Is there some mod for the One X international to disable the capacitive buttons and instead get on screen buttons like on the Galaxy Nexus?

Just to know, why do you want to disable capacitive buttons as virtual buttons will reduce the space available on your screen ?

Nvm I solved it guys by editing the build.prop method. Download any root managing app and put this code in the bottom
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Reboot and whoop!

There is a flashable zip which turns off the backlight of these buttons but their functionality is mainatained.
I don't know if you can totally disable them.

Go to Setting-General-QuickButton-Select Shortcut-None. I was hitting the button all the time, came to hate it.

How to temporarily disable capacitive/hardware/navigation buttons?

As the title has suggested, I want to find a way to temporarily disable the hardware buttons during gaming. It is a really painful experience as I always hit those buttons. Is the any way through xposed or something like the miui hardware buttons toggle to temporarily disable those buttons?

i know what you mean, would be nice but i think the only way is via the settings toggle...
Sorry, there isn't. Android doesn't allow this, I think not even on custom ROMs.
