softkeys for home, back, menu? - Desire HD Themes and Apps

Hi all,
since I don't like the stiffy hardware buttons I'm searching for an on screen solution. Does anyone know a tool or is it part of the theme and the launcher?
Thanks in advance

What kind of functionality are you suggesting? I agree though that would be awesome.

Why dont someone sheck into it and solve it? i mean its the original ics style ^^ the original softkey backlight in my phone is dead to so damn it! i like that setting in rom control...the latest setting was awsome! no prob for me.. peace!

...still searching for an independant app...
Once i had a rom with this feature in the status bar. But i don't know it anymore and appreciate an app.
Thanks
Wolf

Try 'button savior' from Google play its free

BTW: to whom it may concern:
some weeks later I found the ultimate solution: my ROM contains it in "Tablet" Options - there you can switch on different buttons in the status bar. I use the HyperDroid-CM7-v6.0.0[a2sd][CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.7][seader_R9]

would actually like to have it too, but i still like sense more... hahaha
There is an app called 'Screen Off and Lock' (original thread here) which u can hv shortcut to lock & power off the screen. holding (touch & hold) 'Search' touch button can be assigned to lock & turn off the screen as well.
For example, im using Go Launcher EX and set scrolling up gesture to trigger this app. And im happy so far with old tv screen off animation.
+1 for animation with Sense.

Just got this app thanks a lot, love all the different effects they give you is there any way you can use the sleep/screen off button using the animation? or can i setup the pinch as the animation rather than the up/down swipes? im using ADW Launcher. Thanks a lot! - Kes
Are you rooted? There are now sense Roms available with the screen off animation.

I'm interested to see how this will look on the Legend because the ChaCha is more landscape-oriented and you can see that in the ROM screenshots
Thanks for the initiative tobbeson

Hi. Nice app.. i have one requeat that could make this app eaven more usable.
Either make widget for one touch system bar removel or make a shortcut for desktop to make a one touch system bar removal.
What do you think about that??
Great app as I said before.

The best solution would be, that the statusbar disappears, when you swipe down on the screen , and appears if you swipe up.

Yup same here, power button was best option for me since my son only touches the screen. Can't seem to get that mod to work more than once per boot. HideBar just freezes.
This one looks very promising, will check it out tonight

[APP] Iida launcher

Hi all, I found this nice launcher there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234175.
It isn't fully working and I would like to now if someone is interested in making it functional.
I actually test it, I though I could keep it even if not completely functional but hum... after rebooting the launcher disappears (I saw only status bar and wallpaper) and all I could do is reflash rom into recovery.
Thanks.

Search a bit i posted it a while back as a flashable zip in the o3d forums. It installs in system so it is persitent which means it survives rebbots and can be set as default. . It is also working for OB tested in my gf's OB. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394204
Oh I saw many threads but no one's seems to have a working one. I'll get a look thanks.

[MOD] Enable ICS SoftKeys CM9-Beta1 3/20/12!

There was a request to get the ICS SoftKeys working.
I also wanted to experiment with the softkeys and doing some mods and theming.
So I present the Enable ICS SoftKeys CM9-Beta0 Mod.
Flash the Zip and Clear Cache.
Enjoy
This is setup so the Capacitive Buttons will turn off approx 2 seconds after screen on(***MUST BE ON AUTO BRIGHTNESS***)
The lights will not come back on unless the Capacitive Buttons are touched. Hope this helps.
**I am not responsible if you phone breaks**
Also: Lets thank our great devs for the work they do!
The OG Epic is a great phone and they just keep making it better!
Great job CM Team!
ToDo:
Turn off backlight for Capacitive buttons?

How did you manage to recompile the ics framework-res? I keep having issues.
I found a set of apktools that finally worked for me.

Any noted bugs deriving from this or does everything work just fine?

I'd like to know this as well. Practically speaking if just dimming the hardware buttons saves battery then disabling them completely and using software keys should be even better. Also it looks nicer imo.
A question about that clock. Which one are you using? I have the Beautiful Widgets one, but none of the skins are "beautiful". Yeah yeah, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I've been scoping some of the clocks around the Epic forum & there are some good looking ones .
