[Q] Galaxy Nexus On-screen buttons - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I saw that in some roms on various devices like Galaxy Mini, and I would like to ask you are there any way to have it on MiniCM9?

What's the point? You already have buttons and they will only take up screen space. It will just make the screen look smaller.

Dunno why, but i like them. Plus I tried them on my friend's galaxy mini and they looked cool and they would be pretty useful for me because my hardware buttons were crappy.

It is impossible to actually add new software buttons to the phone but this app might do thhe trick for ya https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
Thank me if i helped

That is because the hardware is compatible and the screen to. Our screen is just not abld to do that (correct me if im wrong)

It is possible. Its like a software or app. Any phone could have this with ICS even like hmm. hTC Tattoo. The screen does need something special to have them

Our hardware is not capable but the Galaxy MINI's hardware is capable? Its strange if its true... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe1oesBIDm4&feature=related

I think its totally useless because of our phones screen size. Thoose buttons would took too much space. If your hardware buttons are broken use Button savior from market.

They would look cool, but they're pretty useless for our device!

OK I have a modded Verizon galaxy nexus with 4.0.4,in tab mode. Every thing is customized ,except one thing....with that said, I bring you to my question. Can you make a call button for the navigation menu,. My reason for that is there are two menus one on screen and the other on the navigation bar.a standard call button on that bar would make more space thus elements the on screen menu bar altogether. CAN U DO IT. send answers to [email protected] thanks.

Alert Notification

Hi,
is it possible to use Capactive Buttons like Notification Led?
(is a good question?)
Actually thats a nice idea. Does anyone know if there is such an app for that?

SGS has this kind of app, shouldn't be hard to make one for O2X
the most better is if LG made that in the Optimus 2X natively

Perhaps someone could ask them... nicely
Also the buttons could show us if the phone is charging....would be really cool
You know NoLed for Galaxy S?
Did it work on noAmoled Screen?
NoLED would be useless on an LCD screen : it would probably work, but drain all the battery in a few hours, since LCD screens draw the same amount of power no matter what is being displayed (whereas amoled screens don't use any power when displaying black areas).
Using the buttons is a great idea though !
Doesnt this phone have notification LED ?
No it does not have one.
Oh well Thought that was standard on Android phones. Have to cancel my order then.
Bump don‘t let this to get forgotten

Agreed.

It should be possible to light up one of the four buttons, like the home button for notifications

Have a good NEWS for those who miss the LED notification by sms / mms, missed calls and emails.
Noled made ​​for SGS, also works for LG Optimus 2X.
just please, do me with it and it works super!

Download and install with astro or similar programs.
Into the program and set it up as you want!
And then you have the LED notification on your screen.

[Q] Invert menu & search button?

Hej, i use more than one Android and on other, search is at left & menu at right, it always make me confuse so i wonder : Is there a way to invert them? Other question : When we'll use ICS on the Note, will there be choice to have either capacitive, virtual button, or both? Or will still have to use capacitive?
No man there is no way of inverting the buttons.What you ask requires some extreme code editing in kernal side which might even brick your device.Officaial ICS release date is not specified till now by samsung.You can check custom roms and leaked ICS if you want to try it.What do you mean by virtual buttons?All the buttons below the screen are capacitive touch buttons except the physical home button
What i meant by virtual button is just buttons in screen like on galaxt nexus.

It is very easy to do, in a similar way to how I remapped hardware keys. See here:

Changing soft key colour?

Wanted to know if its possible to change the colour of the soft keys, seeing as they are just LEDS it should be possible surely?
Cheers
Thats not possible without HW modding, even then I'm not sure it would work.
Hmm shame
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
LEDs aren't always RGB. doubt Samsung would use those for simple soft keys, seeing as they haven't even added a notification LED...
Would love to see them RGB, though, for different notifications .
How would we go about finding out if they were RGB or not? Surely its been written down somewhere ...

Service manual/electrical manual thingie (forgot the name )?
Don't think they are though, or the kernel devs would've found it/Samsung would've said it/Samsung would've done something...
OK I'm doing this on behalf of a friend so will tell him to try and find out from his manuals and fingers crossed he will find out
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I think it's impossible. If the soft keys use RBG leds, Samsung would have something to say about it, when sell I9000.

Black border on the screen

Hi,
Today when i check my phone the display was not filling the entire screen. there seems to be a black border.. .i.e the display is 1 mm shorter than the actual screen size.... i dont think it was there before today... but may be i dint notice...
can u guys confirm if u too have the same kinda display ?
erhm,yes,same here.
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
Are you getting this in all the apps and even on the homescreen as well? If your not getting it.. then I would suffice that it is just that app that your running now that might not be optimized completely on the screen grids/borders of your Note.
Now if your getting this as well in all of your apps including the homescreen/lockscreen.. My second question then would be... are you on stock ICS ROM or on a custom one?
Some custom ROMS have some light blue border that is faintly visible when your trying to look at it. Nothing of a big deal though (to me in particular) as I know this is just a ROM (and therefore a software) issue and not on the hardware one (which would give me much more of a headache if that really happens)

have you tried changing the kernel? if you have.. is it still there?
See also if you can wipe dalvik cache in CWMR... and reboot after.

I have changed from note core to speed mod and vice versa... still no go... In fact I have also tried a nandroid backup of what I thought when it was working fine... Still the same... I have tried to wipe both caches as well.
