Yep. You'll need a computer and ADB installed though.

Thanks!! Was winding me up something rotten that you couldn't do this natively.

I love you, man! Been wanting this since I got my Pixel 2 XL.

Works a treat for me.
Now all I need is to re-orient the volume buttons when in landscape mode. Makes no-sense in landscape mode to have the L volume button make sound louder.

I believe the Pro version of Button Mapper can do that.

There is a thread here on XDA about it. You could ask around in that thread if you want to make sure before you buy.

[Q] keyboard options/layout

Is there a way to specify 2 different keyboards for typing? If I have the phone upright in portrait position I would like to use swype but if I have it in landscape position can it automatically change to the droid keyboard some how?

Yes. There's a mod in the Android Apps and Themes section that actually can switch it depending on the orientation the phone is in...I'll go see if I can give you a link
Here you go bro
Thank you. My phone is not rooted. I guess I will have to wait for the next unrevoked3 3.7 before I can do this. Thank you very much.

No problem, you could just hit thanks under my post, but a post is always appreciated
I'm fairly certain there's a way you can still root
Thanks man will hit the button even I get on the computer

[MOD] SkyRaider1.3 - Volume as Camera Shutter Button

this will allow you to take a picture using either the volume up, or volume down button. this is an edit to the htccamera.apk, so this does NOT mess with the volume settings.

Return to Stock HTCCamera.apk

Any way you can do the search button too? I've seen it somewhere for another device, but not this one.

In some other post you said that SR Zeus 1.3 is your fave ROM, most stable, etc. I totally agree, but your ICS theme for it makes it all the more special. Now with this mod, even sweeter! I'm currently rocking CM7 (i need a fully working camera, so no CM9) b/c I'm a flashing addict (ROM flashing, that is). Are there any support groups for those of us who can't go more than a few days w/o flashing? (Sorry for the off-topic).

editing of the .smali code in the systemui.apk
requires decompiling, editing the code, then recompiling.
that said, I've never tried to even do this MOD, if I did I'd make it, in the mean time, I can just make that icon transparent..
it will be a blank space if say the sync icon or something else is next to it

Alright thanks for the info. I'm currently using Amphibliam's warm theme and I'm pretty sure that mod would override any theme changes right?

Any plans to make a mod like this for the stock camera on UKB? Love using the volume rockers as a camera button.

I second that. So much more stable and reliable to use the volume buttons. And UKB is friggin' sweet! Justin rocks!

I don't think he meant change the look of them, he meant swap them, like on Sammy devices, "back" is on the right side
Yes exactly, swap them....

Root it or custom roms no other way. And FYI original android has always had the left as back.
Swann Samsung

Anyone rooted try "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to enable softkeys?

Ok so I am not a fan of the capacitive keys and I was wondering if anyone rooted try adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in their build props
My past samsung phones used to crash whenever I entered this, I was just wondering if anyone have added softkeys yet.
Nobody likes soft keys? =k
i dont really want to buy it if softkeys can't be enabled , the back button is far away from my right thumb.
I believe LeeDrOiD Rom has the navbar.
Attached screen shot. I've not enabled them because I like the HW keys.

Edited build.prop on rooted stock ROM. Looks nice.
Where exactly in build prop do we insert this?

Anywhere. I usually do it at the end of it so I know where it is if I need to delete it

I realized that it disabled the option to keep lights on while screen is on.

Does this get rid of the vibration from tapping the hardware keys, if you leave that option on?

Should I use leedroid or i need to use other command beyond qemu?

Button remapping

Hey guys. I'm running leedroid rom on htc 10. However I've not gotten used to the mapping of physical buttons. I want the return function to be on the right. Does anyone have a mod or app that can change this? Thanks

If you have Xposed you can try GravityBox.
There is a remapping function.

Should work.
There is a separate Marshmallow version.
I tried remapping buttons and it worked.
