Cool, thanks! Can't believe they have mirrored as default.
It's the "classic layout" of the buttons. Also today it's still the "Samsung layout".
I've been using Samsung devices so long that it's the layout I'm used to and I get confused when the Back button is on the left.

Hello friends!
I got my LG G Pad Yesterday
Is there a way to remove the Front Touch Buttons? I couldn't see any options in Settings! Is it possible after rooting?
I plan to use only gestures for the front key button functions... May be we can use the screen real estate more effectively if we get rid of the buttons?
Any thoughts / suggestions?
I just installed an app called GMD Auto Hide from the Play Store. It provides an auto-hide feature for the touch buttons. It seems to work well, except that it overrides the setting on the phone that lets you change the button order. I want to set up the soft touch buttons so that the "back" key is on the right to match my Samsung phone. It appears that the GMD app doesn't have a setting for that. Too bad.
Does anybody know a way to get auto-hide and also customize the button positions?

Thanks for the quick reply.
With GMD auto hide, does the display get extended to the button area or the area just becomes blank?
I am thinking of using GMD gesture launcher to to replace the buttons...

It gets extended. I haven't used it very much yet, but it looks like it does the job, if you don't mind the button order.
Ok, I played with the app some more. When it replaces the soft touch keys, it puts a red line at the bottom. I did get it to put the back button on the right side, but another issue is that it puts a "recent apps" button where the menu button usually goes, then it puts a different menu button on the right edge. I wish it would l wish it had more options to set it up the way I want to.

I tried it, but it didn't work for me. The normal soft touch keys were not hidden.
GMD Gesture is fantastic. It hide autobar (your tab need to be rooted) and replace virtual button by gesture that you can define by yourself. Moreover, the developper is very reactive..

Thanks. GMD does the job quite well. I overlooked the status bar on/off part in GMD?

Hi,
I would like to disable the hardware buttons from my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 since I already made the softkeys visible by changing the /system/build.prop file.
I found HowTo's for other Samsung devices. All of them proposed a modification of the /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl file by deactivating the mappings for the keys 139, 158 and 172 (see this thread). Unfortunately, this isn't working for my Tab 3.
Can someone give my advice in this topic?
Thanks in advance,
Greeny
Im curious what edit you made to enable the soft keys

I added qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the end of /system/build.prop. If you are interested in the source I could post a link, even if I'm not sure whether external links are accepted.
I've got mine disabled and all you do is put # in front of the key mappings.
What I want to know is how to switch the back key (which defaults to the right) and the menu key (which defaults to the left). It's a pain to have the back key on the right.
Anyone know how to swap them, I've tried different steps for galaxy devices and nothing's working.
Thanks for your answer, but this isn't working for me. I prepended the 3 lines with a # and rebooted the device. But the three hardware buttons are still working

Do you talk about the mappings in the Generic.kl file? I just opened the other *.kl files and noticed keymappings for the same keys in many other files, like vnc-kbd.kl

Open up sec_touchscreen.kl and place a # in front of key 139 MENU and key 158 BACK.
This will disable the Samsung buttons.

Thank you! The back button is disabled but the center Home button is still working. Any advice for this?

When you added the soft keys did it make the launcher bar at the bottom move up and overlap the page dots for the home pages? I turned them on in gravity box and thats what happened.
Thanks

The soft keys do not overlap the page dots, but they are now really close (see attached screenshot).

ok good to know, thanks.
I am having some issues with overclocking here on stock ROM so need to consider switching to custom, since as rooted I won't get official update anyway
the major thing with custom is that there is no multi-window available which I heavily use .
I would like to move the "back" button from the left side to the right, any way of doing this?

Yes there is. If your on stock go to settings /display /home touch buttons. You can arrange them in what ever order you want there.
I noticed with the new January update that when I unlock my hidden system ui settings that it does not have an option to rearrange the nav bar buttons? Does anyone know why or another way to rearrange these buttons?
You were on a custom ROM/using a mod pack before. There is a mod pack in the themes section! Also weta rom will be updated tomorrow as said by the dev!

Did you hit the "pencil" button? That allows me to rearrange icons.

That option is not available normally. It requires SystemUI.apk to be modified to add the option back.
Hey guys,
I've seen that the navigation buttons for Android P are different. After the update I had the new navigation buttons but after putting the PIN and lock screen my navigation buttons came back to Android O.
Anyone knows if there's any option where I can change it? I've looked everywhere and couldn't find.
Picture is attached
Thanks for your help
I just installed the Android P Beta and ran into the same issue. But I was able to get the new gesture based nav bar permanently by doing the following:
Navigate to Settings > System > Gestures
Then scroll down to "Swipe up on home button" and it permanently enables the new nav bar.

I'm hoping someone knows how to make a mod that will go back if you swipe it to the left.
