Need help, does anyone know the app that you can download to replace the capacitive buttons on the gtablet? Basically onscreen buttons that you can use instead of the capacitive ones.

I believe there is an app called Button Saviour.
I don't use it, but I know some users do.

Button Saviour works good with the GTAB
This app requires that the Android Debugging feature be checking on the Applications > Development setting.
Button savior will place a different set of buttons on the screen of the g tab, it will not change or replace the functions of the capacitive buttons themselves.
I use Button remapper to disable the capacitive buttons ( set them all to focus) and they stop responding to errant hits. You can always restore to default settings if you choose.

Do you use Button Remapper by beansoft? Do you use the version for the galixy tab or is there a version specifically for our tab?
How about CM7 stable available now

Don't know if anyone has tried this on there Nook but I got it up and running. Progam is call Button Savior and can be found in the market. Really liking this program versus soft keys. I have it set to trigger on the left versus the right. Right side was semi hidden versus the app launch button.

I have no experience with button savior. Softkeys can do this as well though. You can drag the little launcher button as well as the pop up softkey panel anywhere you like, and it will remember that position.

Thats exactly why i picked this over softkeys, going to the circle in some games ended with it just following my finger and no reaction on the game. Not knocking it, still have it, but this is another good one if you like lack of choice.

Thanks for this post. I have button savior on my HD2, but completely forgot about using it here. Great reminder. I will hit the thanks button next time I'm on the computer.

I love having this set up on the left versus the right. You know us lefties can't do anything right!
I have softkeys set up to use the "n" button so i don't have the little on screen button anymore. Very convenient

Install the app "homeswitcher" it will allow you to change it.

Just wondering if people have done it and didn't like it, or vice-versa. It does seem bad for the hardware, but I can't stand softkeys/button saviour.
If you're using nookie Froyo, you can try the MENU/BACK soft buttons in the status bar mod, instead of remapping the vol+/- buttons. I've been using it since it came out, and can confim it works for nookie Froyo 6.7. Here's the link to the original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932631
It does have it's issues, mainly with the stock browser, and causing it to FC. Other than that I have not noticed any other problems.
If you are interested in useing the mod, but don't know how to install it, let me know. I'll pm you or post instructions.
I absolutely recommend remapping the volume buttons. Softkeys is nice, but kind of a pain sometimes. For instance, when I would view pictures in the XDA APP, I would have to restart the app instead of backing out, for some reason softkeys wouldnt let me back out of the picture viewer. It's just much easier to have the menu and back buttons always available than rely on software. I installed volume volume control if I need to adjust volume for some reason.
Is there an app that puts volume in the status bar that anyone knows of?

Yup... I've got a Pandigital Novel(white v2) w/custom fw and it'd be essentially useless w/o re-mapping the vol keys to menu and back along with soft-keys in the notification bar...
NC has one up on the WPDN though, it has the n home key plus the 2 vol keys and volume can be controlled through setting or a quick-settings app anyways or by adding soft-keys... still no substitue for physical keys or capacitive screen keys though, unfortunately... (spoilt by gtab with the full complement...)

I'm sure you guys know where I'm screwing up. After I adb pull, I only get this
/system/usr/keylayout/twl4030-keypad.kl -> ./twl4030-keypad.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl -> ./qwerty.kl
/system/usr/keylayout/AVRCP.kl -> ./AVRCP.kl
but it says to edit " 'TWL4030_Keypad.kl' and 'omap_twl4030keypad.kl' "with your text editor of choice; I used vi, always a safe choice.
I don't have the omap. what should I do?

Just modify the qwerty.kl in the place of omap. That's what I did and things are working fine.

I am on the stock 1.1 rooted and have mapped my volume buttons - I have tried the other ones, and I MUCH prefer having hard buttons.
I downloaded a volume app "Volume Master Free". It has about 5 different volume controls, but I only use the system volume and the media volume controls.
I use Zeam as home screen; and I put a shortcut to Volume Master on the bottom right of my Zeam shortcut bar. It works very well. I do need to go to the home screen to change volume; but I can tap on the notification bar and toggle mute, so that works for me.
Yes, it makes a huge difference on the stock rom and froyo -- though honeycomb's soft buttons eliminate the need to do so.
Can't recommend remapping the keys enough. On froyo it makes a huge difference in functionality on. The device, life is a pain without it.

I remapped.
I also recommend remapping your volume buttons. It's handy having tactile buttons for the back and menu functions.
What really sold me on remapping was that I didn't like to have a Softkeys button floating on the home screen. Without a floating button, I would have to double tap the hardware "N" button to bring up the Softkeys interface, then hit "menu" or "back." If I have to double tap a hardware button to use "menu" or "back," I might as well just remap those functions to the volume buttons and use a single tap.

thanks. will attempt over the weekend
can remapping the volume buttons be done when running cm7 nightlies off SD ?
I didn't find a definitive answer
I ran with the CM7 softkeys, Button Savior, remapped volume keys and I just finally settled on zMooth.
When I use the KK Rom, I can only get the screenshot by using the Power Menu (Long press the power button while the power menu is configured to have a screenshot option). Anyone knows a way or any app I can install to capture a screenshot by long press the "Recent App" Soft key and get a screenshot saved like in the Asus stock ROM?
Screenshot Ultimate lets you configure all kinds of options to capture a screen shot > Play Store

Thanks for the tip, I installed and tested it, the captured size of the screenshot is not exactly as it is by using the hardware key or the long press Recent Apps softkey.
Any other tips?

I am not using the KK version but does the power and volume down not take a screen cap?
It works in JB version and on my phone with KK?

Yes, the power and volume key combination works, but for 2 reasons I don't like it.
1) too many presses on keys are no good for the hardware, and
2) the TF701 has both power and volume keys on the upper left hand and it is difficult for me to press both keys at once.
I think the best is still the long press Recent Apps soft button implemented by Asus.

You must take a lot of screen shots also I almost never push those buttons
Cant you just assign quicklaunch targets around the home button? works for me.

Please elaborate on this more, are you referring to add the screenshot choice to the power on/off hardware button?
Just use the power options screen shot functionality in kk.... It's in settings, developer settings somewhere. You push the power button and one of the options is a soft button to take a screen shot.
Or stop cheating
Do we have any options for additional functionality from long-press of buttons?
- Long press Vol +/- for track seek (doesn't work with Poweramp with the app settings set for long press volume for next/previous track)
- Long press <anything> for foreground app kill
I'm sure there are other functions people want.. but these are my main two..

Use Home2 Shortcut from the Play Store to remap all the hardware buttons - double tap and long press are supported on all the hardware and capacitive buttons as far as I can tell.

Only thing I can do with this app it seems is launch apps with long-press and double-tap. Not what I was looking for, but thanks anyways.

Turns out Nova does what I want
I needed to launch an app instead of the launcher with a single press of the home button.
I created a Tasker app that launches a certain Launcher app (Nova or launcher3) based on whatever context I choose (my work shift hours and @ home hours)
I set the home button to launch this and it works flawlessly - it's like having two separate phones
I think more people should try to do this. Imagine having a completely different home screen based on whatever context you want.. In the car, at work, certain times of the day, docked undocked.

There is this settings to make virtual home button react on pressure.
So when pressing lower part of screen device can be awake, even there is no physical home button.
Is it possible to override it with xposed or something?
How it works, is note 8 screen 3d touch enabled?
If you do not want the function, you can disable in settings, or, what exactly do you want?

I'm guessing he wants to remap the button so it does something else like turning off the screen and locking the phone for example. I don't think it's possible (yet at least) but it would be nice to have that option.
Then the closest thing available would be to remap the home button in nav bar , it can be done with greenify
