Hi guys.
Im a real big stock android fan, and so i also really like it to have softkeys.
Now, i will be upgrading to the Lineage OS for our device when it comes out of the alpha, but i would really like to have a navbar with that.
Can anyone make another thread to show us how to do it? You can just reply to this message too.
But just make kind of a tutorial, do i have to root, or not?
Just tell me how to do it please.
Thanks guys!
Mike

If you want to get a real navbar you will need root. There are some apps that allow the navbar with just a click like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatedevgroup.softkeyenabler or you could do it the hard way by editing the build.prop but there's a higher chance of messing something up.
Just go to /system/build.prop file and add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" without the quotes.. Every phone has a built in Nav bars

Hi, I have been using this for a while.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.com.daxia.virtualsoftkeys
It's not really a nav bar, it doesn't require root.
It's overall quite good, I did not feel any lag using it.
Hope I helped

Thanks, I haven't tried this app before, but I did try a similar app. They're all right, but the only problem is they cover a part of the screen. They are not part of the system. And that's what I'm after. But thanks anyways man!

Photo deletion
Hi. I have some albums on my phone I would like to delete and cannot figure it out, even with google. They are the instant upload and then another with the same instant upload circle thing in the bottom left corner. I'd really like them gone and don't want it to happen anymore. Can anyone help? Thank you.

I was having the same issue and the only thing I was able to do was change the view. I am using the stock gallery and if you touch the menu button, select "view by" and then select "content in device." I hope this helps some.
Thank you!

There's an option in the camera settings to save to external SD. (Assuming you're on stock Samsung ROM).

No problem. Any TouchWiz based ROM should have the stock camera and it should be there. CM10/AOKP ROMs do not have this option yet.
I need some rooting info. I haven't yet done anything to my phone as of yet. I understand there is a way to root without tripping the counter and if you do a way to reset the counter. My first question is there a way to reset the modified tag or will it revert when returned to stock? And second one is will flashing stock back onto the phone for warranty purposes or whatever trip the counter? I'm sure these have both been addressed and I am still searching.
Does anyone remember how to search? Just wondering, not flaming anyone. That is just my stupid question.

Flashing back to stock will not trip the meter. An app on the market, Triangle away will reset your meter (use it right before flashing stock, while the phone is still rooted). There is a no trip method to root, using Odin, in the development sub forum stickies.

Thanks for the info. I was familiar with Triangle away but just wanted to double check on the restore.
I think I'm about ready to take the plunge on rooting this new phone.

Theres a little pink bunny beating on a big bass drum. The faster he beats the more electricity your battery puts out. When he gets tired you plug your phone up so he can rest. You know he's well rested when you see 100%. Then he does it all over again. Amazing. Someone else will have to answer your dry ice question. dry ice floats

Create a custom bmp icon set that has embedded test groups.
If you have images for all weather conditions covering all of the seasons I can probably put this together for you.

for this code, if the first test is positive, does it skip straight to the icon in the condition because obviously the next 2 tests are negative...?
You could use

it already got the navbar line. I cant explain it to you guys Im a bit confused. please refer to the screenshot.
I wish you can help me with this. Advance Thanks everyone! (mods. i think i posted in wrong forum. if yes. im very sorry!)

Hi guys,
Just wondering if there's a way to enable on-screen navigation buttons on the HTC 10, whether through root or a custom rom. I've gone through the stock room but could not find any settings related to it.
Thanks!

Definitely a few custom roms already do this. Maybe xposed too, but I don't use it.

Assistant you can get with a simple build.prop edit. Google will help you

Do you think Google's using a custom ROM on a rooted HTC 10 here? Or is this just a photoshop from an oblivious screenshot-maker? If that's actually on the phone, I'd like to know how Google did it.

"on-screen navigation buttons at the bottom above the fingerprint scanner", which is what this thread is about
The article already states that Assistant will be available to all devices (the only thing that sensibly means is you'll be able to install it from the app store), so how to "get" Assistant here is irrelevant, the reference to Assistant is just a reference to the screenshot.

i would guess that is a render to look like a non specific device, although I haven't checked the link. I've seen that many times before.

Strange if they would render an HTC 10 to look like a non-specific device then name it the HTC 10.
Possibly some designer just copied and pasted the Pixel screen, but it doesn't seem necessary to include the navigation buttons on the HTC 10 image when they don't include them on the Galaxy S7 image; who knows, maybe they have all three devices and have somehow turned on the navigation buttons on the HTC 10 through some setting only available to Google developers... I can't imagine they'd use a device with a custom ROM that doesn't represent what people can get in stores.
Hi guys!

Has anyone come up with a good reliable way to swap between IME depending whether the S-pen is inserted or not without root? I want to use SwiftKey or Samsung while the S-pen is away and Google handwriting when it's out. I was really hoping Samsung might have added something to deal with this but apparently not, I don't want to root yet so the root solutions are off the table, otherwise this would be easy.
I have a way using note buddy and taskr I'll find it and post the steps here....

I think that method also requires root to work properly, but I may be wrong.

Shouldn't need root. I can't 100 percent remember but I'm pretty sure I did this on my note 4 and 5 and I didn't root either..
Oh actually I see secure setting ask for root. Sorry :/
