UP UP! Yeah, i want this!
ICS style Softbutton key
i want this too, i am tired of pressing hard the physical key. so that i think it is usefull to.. they said it will reduce the size of your screen. but i think it will be ok if the softbutton key is as small like in the status bar of cm7 rc5.3
i have a soft button key framework for galaxy mini attached, but it is for cm9, can someone modify it for cm7? please..
Thank you in advance!..

Just use virtual buttons from the market..
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App
Its not the same like screen buttons ... -.- because this app take away space on screen but soft buttons make screen smaller but normaly to use .
Wytapatano z Galaxy Mini
virtual buttons from market overlapped the screen. but all we need is there is a space for that buttons
Button Savior i think so, thats more cool
ics keys on cm7 is not possible.
use this app from my thread
kind of a different app which uses gestures
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423063
Everything is possible . Many ppl talks ics is impossible to port but Squad do this .

uuhh i think that it already has soft buttons, just go in settings --> cyanogenmod settings --> tablet tweaks and configure your soft buttons. It works, at least for me
I wrote in first post . I dont wanna soft buttons from cm8 but ics screen buttons

Is it possible to replace the menu button with the ICS Task Manager/Multitasker? like in the galaxy Nexus? I think even the icon looks similar in a way to a list of apps. This would be useful especially since ICS deals with this perfectly by showing a menu button when it doesn't detect it as a hardware button.
What do you guys think about this idea?
Why not just hold the home button to bring up recent apps..

Cuase holding the home button for 1 or 2 seconds its not better than just pressing the menu button.

Yep, and because given the choice, I'm sure most will opt to use it this way. the menu button is getting deprecated as a hardware button and being implemented more and more inside applications.
Hopefully some more ICS ROM devs will see this and review this suggestion. I would love to know what they have to say about it.
I wouldnt mind a widget to do it either. That shouldnt be to hard to do.

+1.
Regards.
This was the first thing I wanted to do after installing ICS. The capacative buttons are mapped in /system/usr/keylayout/melfas-touchkey.kl;
Code:
key 158 BACK WAKE
key 139 MENU WAKE
I'm just not sure what to replace 'MENU' with. 'TASK'?
Hate to double post but I thought I'd share what I've discovered.
I tried replacing 'MENU' with 'APP_SWITCH' in melfas-touchkey.kl and sec_touchkey.kl and got the menu button to act just like the recents button, however there was then no way to access the menu
I had a brief look at the android source code and it looks like the value that decides to show the action overflow button in the toolbar is set depending whether the on screen buttons are being used. Not at all sure about that though and I've seen the new HTC one phones have a hardware recents button replacing the menu so it can't be impossible.

Thank you for trying this and letting us know about the results. I was thinking if all fails maybe the search option that appears when you click and hold the menu button could be replaced with the menu?
Clicking the Old menu button = New app switcher
Holding the old menu button = Menu
how about that? I think most apps include a search icon if/when they include search functionality.
Had a brainwave today and got it 90% there. I decompiled framework-res.apk and enabled the navigation bar AND resized it to 0. This means the action overflow button shows up in apps without the galaxy nexus-like software keys getting in the way. I then remapped the menu key and it is working like a charm
Of course then there is the little issue of bringing up the menu when using a pre honeycomb app. The simplest solution for me was to use the pen's button+swipe up gesture. This isn't ideal and doesn't even work for people using CM9 or stock ICS.
Here is the modified framework-res for the Team Rocket ROM v1.5:
dl.dropbox dot com/u/2340506/navbarhidden.zip
These forums don't trust me with links
Install with CWM recovery. Don't use it on any other ROM! I can't even guarantee it'll work on every team rocket rom. I'm too lazy to load every ICS ROM but if you post your framework-res.apk I can edit it for you.
After you can remap the hardware keys in /system/usr/keylayout/melfas-touchkey.kl and /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl like I mentioned earlier with Root Explorer or ES File Explorer. I have it set up to mimic the HTC one phones and the galaxy nexus's layout, since I keep the key lights off.
Hopefully this is useful to people. A better way to access the menu on old apps should be easier to do once people start tinkering with the HTC one phones.

Great finds! Thumbs up!
Thank you for your efforts!
I would love to try those but I moved back to Gingerbread for the time being. ICS in the note is far from being a daily driver for me. A lots of bugs and battery drains compared to Gingerbread. Hopefully this will change quickly. I trust the dev community and i'm sure they'll beat samsung in having stable ICS releases...
Back to ICS. Using ICS Stunner 4.3 ROM with the new LP5 kernel and modem. This setup is simply stunning. Best ROM I've tried so far.
Back to subject, how can the process go for AOSP ROMs? Like this one I'm using...
Anyone found any other way around this? Thanks !

I looked into doing the same thing as you did only because I love the tablet layout and holding the home button doesn't bring it up.
In order to get what you and a few others would want on select roms, the source for the framework would have to be adjusted as said in the thread, meaning each dev would have to implement this independently.
The second thing is alread mentioned in this thread, which is changing the key layout.
You can hope that the dev has no issues with inserting it into their build.
NOT changing the source but editing the key layout will only bring up the a Gingerbread styled task switcher. I've tried ;_;
I personally might I add, would just love the same hold the home button functionality while in tablet mode.

1) change source code related to APP_SWITCH keycode.
platform/frameworks/base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager.java
from :
Code:
} else if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH) {
if (down && repeatCount == 0) {
showOrHideRecentAppsDialog(RECENT_APPS_BEHAVIOR_SHOW_OR_DISMISS);
}
return -1;

Code:
} else if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_APP_SWITCH) {
if (down && repeatCount == 0 && !keyguardOn) {
try {
mStatusBarService.toggleRecentApps();
} catch (RemoteException e) {
Slog.e(TAG, "RemoteException when showing recent apps", e);
}
}
return -1;
}
2) edit your keylayout files..
/system/usr/keylayout/
for example, if you want to use search key to recent apps on nexus s...
cypress-touchkey.kl
Code:
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 217 APP_SWITCH VIRTUAL
and mxt224_ts_input.kl (it would be better to edit both files..)

key 158 BACK WAKE
key 139 MENU WAKE
key 217 APP_SWITCH WAKE

Now when we have nearly fully working ICS on our HD 2 I have one small request which is connected with the software buttons! Ever since I first installed Android on my HD 2 I am using Button Savior to operate with the phone ut since ICS already has software buttons I think it is not necessary to use third application to operate with the phone! My idea is if some one could modify the stock buttons and make them 4 in this order from left to right : home, tasks, back and power off! I will be very grateful if someone could make this possible! Thank you in advance!
AOKP ROMs have this already implemented, you can add up to 5-6 soft buttons I believe, and you can customize them with swipe actions and custom icons as well.

most ICS rom has softkey now, just try rom from Tytung or Xylo
and there also thread about modify soft key here.
make a search you will find
This mod enables onscreen soft keys (THANKS TO LEONARDOARAUJO for the modded framework-res) and disables all cap keys except for menu. cap keys still are illuminated, but home, back, and search are disabled as well as haptic feedback for the 3. as i cannot as of yet get a search key remap working i decided to try n make this.I kinda like it btr even tho i lose a lil real estate cuz soft keys are cool..tested and working fine.

Until the backlight params editing is backported to CM10, you might want to try Screen Filter. I used that app since CM9 to disable the backlights on the capacitive buttons. Cheers!
Edit: Scrap that. It seems that it doesn't work (yet) on CM10. I'll try searching for something else.
Edit 2: Success! Adjbrightness works flawlessly!

i left mine on cuz there are times and places i need to enter menu but the 3 dots aren't there. maybe leo can add menu to the soft keys, ill ask.
In what app(s) does that occur? I haven't checked every app on my phone, but it's all good so far. The 3 dots show up either next to the soft buttons or on the actionbar.

actually now tht im paying attn, i think its mainly from home screen using apex. i can set a shortcut but i jus kinda like having menu access rt there. works for me
edit: ur right..menu 3 dots thing is there anytime there is a menu to access, EXCEPT apex home screen. but sometimes its up on top. i thought about disabling menu but decided to keep it as its nice to have rt there, i guess for the same reason i like the search key to recents remap..more easily accessible.

just reflash CM10 without wiping data, should bring everything back to stock.
need not apply the full rom, to undo everything (including navigation buttons):

Hi all! I would like to know how to enable the capacitive keys on the s3 mini with cyanogenmod 11 (KitKat). it's a bit annoying using the navigation bar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=0).
they worked with the samsung firmware e they blink for 5-6 secs after boot.
(otherwise I would like to reduce the navigation bar)
I've also notice that I don't have this file: sec_touchkey.kl under /system/usr/keylayout
Thanks for the help.

You can also enable them with Gravity box xposed module & change the size too Or use carbon rom, it has a switch for navigation bar & size.

Don't understand you very well (nav bar buttons or physical buttons!?), anyway to change their behaviour go to, system settings-buttons & choose what function you want for them.

no....the don't work at all!!! i want their functions.
The only way to emulate them is the navigation bar but it was too big (with the GB I've resized it).
I wish someone tell me how to enable this buttons that worked with the original firmware.
I already told you in the previous posts how to change their functions & how to disable or change the backlight.
I am also having this problem and there is no option in settings to enable/disable this buttons. Like edoz90 said, the buttons worked perfectly on the stock rom.
Details:
Lumia 532 on build 10.0.10586.29
Interop unlocked+all capabilities..
.
Problem: My hardware navigation bar( back, start and search keys) is very unresponsive.. I have to literally strike hard on the keys to make it work...
.
Option 1: Is there any way to increase touch sensitivity of my phone?? I have found a registry hack for pc but that doesnt work on my phone.. Maybe phones have different registry path or key value.. Any idea on this topic???
.
Option 2: I found a tweak to get on-screen navigation bar.. I did it but yhen a problem arise. I cant open many apps like root tools, WPTweaker , moliplayer, opera mini, uc browser, easy transfer to name a few... Only flipkart app works good. I have to hard reset phone to fix the problem... Is there a way to fix this problem and also allow on-screen navigation bar!!
