Hardware buttons - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if this one has hardware buttons like the one plus 1 or 2, or is it only on screen buttons?

It has hardware buttons, just look at any review posted at YouTube

There will be an option to use softkeys as well.

You have the option to use either one. Look at the "basic parameters" section.

[Q] About Softkeys

Brothers,this is the first post from me in xda,sorry for my bad english..
Alright,back to the question...
As you know i want to make my nexus become fullscreen display so i root and use the softkeys to replace the 3original softkeys..
However,I found that the LMT Launcher v1.2 is not good enough for me so i want to find another softkey to use.....but after finding,i find that there are only 2 choice i can choose..
1:LMT Launcher v1.2
2:Button Savior Pro
So i want to ask wether are there any other choice i can choose?
If any brothers know...please tell me!!!!
Especially i want the one as same as the i phone!
The iPhone doesn't have soft keys.

the navigation bar contains soft keys...
and to answer the question you can use miui rom to make it look like iphone a bit but none of the softkey hiding techniques i know are stable.
If your rooted and have a custom rom that supports removal of soft keys like aokp or some aosp roms Try black ice rom on rootzwiki if your looking for the gsm version there the soft keys are in the power menu and the toggle on and off in there too
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413582 you can change your soft keys to what ever you want. Even down to one and make it look like the iphone
Hope that is what you looking for and don't forget to hit thanks to all the people who helped you

I know what you're talking about but I meant soft keys like the Nexus S.

You mean the capacitive buttons?
Figured all the mentions of soft keys was short for software keys. Which sorta makes sense.

Yeah, when he said soft keys, I thought of software keys, not capacitive buttons
Use aokp, it completely hides the bottom soft buttons so its total full screen. And it looks excellent.
hey brothers,,first of all..sorry,,may be i use the wrong word....
while my word 'soft key' is that the software keys....because i hide the original 3 keys and use some software to replace it...so i wanna to ask are there any other choices of software i can use to replace the function of "back home and search........
i want some apps~

Navigation button solutions?

I'm looking for the best solution for navigation buttons, so that I can remove my navigation buttons from the bottom of the screen and regain that screen space. What is everyone using to replace the navigation buttons? I know there is LMT, with the pie interface, but I was wondering if there was a better option.
I was thinking, is there a way to use the same gesture to swipe from the bottom that is used for google now, is it possible to put custom actions buttons alongside google now in that area? I hadn't seen it on any roms yet, but wasn't for sure. It seems like that would be a perfect place to put home, back, and recent actions.
Lol if you didn't like the on screen buttons why did u get a galaxy nexus

Because its a great device. I have no problem with them, but if there's a better solution, it would be nice to use it.
Anyone have any useful contributions?
Lmt and button savior are the only options. I prefer lmt. We could write a new app to do what you want, but it would be a major project.
After trying both, I think I prefer LMT as well. Maybe in the future we will see a mod to the Google Now shortcut, similar to how custom lock screen targets are done now.

Probably for the ability to do things just like this.
What kind of question is that?

Enable On Screen Soft Buttons?

I'm on 4.1.1 stock rooted and I was wondering how could I enable the soft buttons on my phone? I feel like the wear and tear on my home button is getting worse and it's not as responsive.
Someone else posted editing the build.prop and adding in qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 but that didn't seem to do anything.

You should use LMT launcher. It has the PIE included in it which has all the soft navigation buttons plus you can assign other things like opening apps and using scripts as well. Much more functional, doesn't take up screen space etc...

You can add this to build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

You are interpreting it wrongly. 0 means no hardware key so navigation bar will come out. 1 means hardware key exist.

Built In Keyboard

Hi, does anyone know if there is a screen on the built in keyboard that has a set of Arrows, cut, paste etc. (Similar to the TouchPal Keyboard).
Regards
I highly doubt if that option is available in the default keyboard.
but you can try ultra keyboard.
if has all the things that you want + its holo themed..
No but if you disable gesture typing (swyping letters) in the setting by unchecking "Continuous input" and check the box for "Cursor control" you can slide your finger across the keyboard to move left and right. That is the default behaviour.
But that won't give the copy and paste buttons..

It's better than nothing and the screens touch sensitivity is enough that Android's native copy/paste works well. Unlike say a TF201 where moving/placing the cursor with your finger might be nearly a word off or a Galaxy S3 where it might be a hair on target.
If you are not emotionally attached to Samsung keyboard, then Swype has cut/copy/paste shortcuts (swype gesture from Swype key to x, c or v), and cursor controls.

Check out Smart Volume Control from the Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.directservices.SmartVolumeControl
This app has 30 widgets available that allow you to control your volume settings from in the app or a widget or an icon with one touch on the screen.
(This is what I have read about the app in its description).
Good luck and happy Play Store shopping.

Well, I'd suggest using your Google-Fu and searching for OnePlus 3 apps for volume control and widgets. I am actually using this exact app on 6.0.1 right now. It works well for me and the widgets are nice.
and now a word from our sponsors....
