Disable on screen buttons in CM9? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I disable the back, home, and recent apps on screen buttons in the CM9 ROM? I know I saw a post about it a long time ago, and it worked for that build. I can't seem to find it anymore. I know it's a simple build.prop edit. Anyone remember?

at one point the kernel has this:
tap and hold the menu key for like 3 seconds then release.
Do the same to toggle back on.
Does it still have this function?
Please feed back here.
And will it stick after reboot.

Its not that easy
You have to decompile the framework-res.apk (If you know how), and then got to values/bools.xml Find <bool name="config_showNavigationBar">true</bool>, and change 'true' to 'false' !!

Is a CM9 ROM available for the Tmo Tab?

Sure.
I am using aokp now, but yes, tried cm9 on this tmo tab.
Don't ask me about 3g though.

EDIT: it will give you fc‘s, but dont worry. Just fix permissions in rom manager or terminal and then reboot, once rebooted, set keyboard in settings to your default and it wont fc no more.

good keyboard. really like it. almost as fast for me as swype lol
That keyboard was not made by me. I found that in the oxygen forums, it was posted by pepe and packed by rico... I think. So I don't know who to credit. So if someone knows, let me know or I'll just do a little searching. Thanks!

thank you very much my friend..!u made my day
I've wanted this ever since I played around with an O2X, now I can have it on my own phone
I really like the big keys and minimal layout.
Works great so far, I've not experienced any FC, and there is a big selection of languages. Probably the closest thing to an iPhone keyboard that I've used so far

Trackball only rom?

Hey I have a nexus one that I'm trying to let my friend use until she gets a new phone but my problem is the digitizer doesn't work. So I was wondering if anyone knew of or could put together a rom that could make the phone somewhat useable with just the trackball
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
You could get by using cm7 ROM and tb.
Make sure to activate tb wake and tb unlock

[MOD][PORT]Search key to ICS recent apps for ICS Passion

This for ICS Passion v12 and V13 RC1. It also works on CM9 b15
This is not my work. It was coded by evilisto in the Nexus S forums. I only modified the key layouts for the Vibrant and the update script.
Here's evilisto's original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21501238
I do not use my capacitive search button especially with the Google search bar persistant on my homescreen so this Mod will remap the search button to the ICS task switcher so you no longer have to long press the home button.
I have tested it with ICS Passion v12. Others have confirmed it works on Passion v13rc1 and CM9 b15.
As usual flash at your own risk.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17980900/Search_to_Recent-1.1_Passion.zip
It is a CWM flashable zip.
All credit for this goes to evilisto so please thank him for his work.

Since I use the search (just not as frequently) is there a way to add the search functionality when one long presses the search button?
I would like very much to use this mod but not completely lose the quick search if possible...

Unfortunately this replaces the search function. Leave things as is and use the home long press.
ICS on the nexus doesn't have a search key anymore. Just back home and resent tasks. This makes our phones the same. Sorry

Awesome! Will try when revert is posted

If you cant wait, just pull your current android policy.jar and flash. push back if it doesnt work.
I was already using from the post you linked. Nice to have a zip with correct keys.
Tested and confirmed working on CM9 build 15

Hi guys. And if I wanna go back to search by pressing the search key? Sorry but prefer to tap and hold home than use a second key just for that
Edit. re-flashed jokers stock cm 9 and got my search key back. What's the use of having a second key assigned to recent anyways? Just to press instead of press and hold? May be missing somethin here...

yea..basically press n hold is almost like 2keypresses. it just feels rt to me to have single press on search key. just my opinion

[HOW TO] Enable Navigation/Softkey bar

Hey yall. After trying many methods of enable the soft keys which i really like my self, i finaly found out whats messing it up.
in /system in build.prop there is a bit of code which looks like that in the screenshot. my problem was i kept adding code when i simply needed to change the existing code to 0 instead of 1. as shown in the screenshot
also as you can see they work in the xda app. but the buttons dont work in any other app.
anyone know why? i tried changing resolution in build prop and nothing. so i need some help.
So again. My problem is that i cant get the nav bar to work all the time.
Okay um. Attempted to change DPI in build prop. It did work and change DPI but softkeys still only work on the xda app.
I'm thinking maybe disabling hw capatative buttons will fix the problem.

Sent from my HTC first using xda app-developers app
after doing some research, all i figured out was that i would have to decompile and modify the framework-res.apk...
even though i have experience with making apps, i get so lost in google's apps since they arent compiled with classes, its all pure xml and all of it doesnt make sense, so if anyone could, please, figure out what to do in the framework res, to make the nav bar work better, id be very grateful
you can find it at /system/framework
thanks
Well nice find so far! I really like the idea of on screen soft keys but what other use would it have that we can't get from the 3 hardware one's we've got? Does the screen feel crowded, because I imagine that with the thickness of them it'd be pretty cramped

Well you could give it a go and see what its like when running the xda app. Unless it works normal.
Um..screen isn't really crowded. Its about two status bars thick. Uses? Um...I know it has a recent app button. And if you're using a keyboard it will give you the option to minimize it. Other than that its just a nexus feel. And once you enable it you can use apps or xposed installer to have them minimized and you can toggle them like a status bar when ever you need it.

Well an odexed ROM basically prevents any modifications to the firmware or any major graphic ui change but in turn opens apps faster so I'm guessing that's the problem
That could be the problem.
Stock ROM works really well on my device so I'm not changing it till we get cm.
But I'm just wondering why it won't let the nav bar be persistent, even though I addad a persist command to it. And only works on the xda app
Sent from my HTC first using xda app-developers app
I think I figured out the problem. The framework-res.apk manages the overall layout of android, I just need to figure out which if the 600 xml files does that and give the nav bar a bottom margin.

Major find or not I've found out that the app also works with wordrefernce.com it's an old app. I found out today in French class lol but for some reason the on screen soft keys don't work with the premium xda app. Also I should say that there seems to be a 1 second lag when pressing the on screen keys. Unlike the hardware ones that are instant. I've also got lag everywhere else in the phone.. Don't know if this is a side effect

I've managed to freeze my phone many times just going through the app drawer so...its not a side effect.
I actually get around 700ms worth of lag using hard keys so I don't feel a difference. But yeah for some reason the only work on some apps...
Personal opinion. If you want a nexus feel then you would use it. But its gonna tale a while till I figure out what's wrong. I'm still working with framework-res.apk at the moment

see, i sold my broke first and when i was doing a factory reset and testing to make sure none of my info was present, the nav keys became persistent
So to make the be active 24/7 you MUST DO a factory reset....or maybe just a dalvik wipe, but i did a full reset and they worked fine.
you need to write script (i don't the commands) to enable it after qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Auto Hide Soft Keys 's Spoof Soft Keys option can enable it via hack, so there is a way to activate it on boot when it doesn't show
