Cm9 soft buttons request - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Hey guys anyone knows how to put cm9 softkeys? Obviously its for cm9 (by maclaw). I really want to experience full ICS with the soft keys and my back button is all worn out. So any1 has or can make a flashable zip of the soft keys Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Thnx guys, i tried the search but in vain O.O guess im not so good at it.
EDIT: I've tried this : http://rohan999.wordpress.com/2012/03/31/how-to-enable-on-screen-ics-keys-on-any-ics-rom/
But the recompilation using "apktool b framework-res" without quotes fails D:< Help!

Search, there are plenty of tutorials available.

if you know how to use adb and apktool, take a look here. but next time, use search option, lazyass...
*edit*
this method messes up statusbar, making it same height as softkeys bar, so there's more to do with it also lockscreen gets messed up... i don't have much time today, but it's interesting...

[REQUEST][MOD]Search key to ICS recent apps

i saw this over the Nexus S thread, and thought it would be awesome if we had the Recent Apps on a click of a button, but not by holding the Home button..and since we don't use the Search button (at least i don't) , we could remap it so it could show the Recent Apps..
so.. here is the MOD : [MOD][19 JAN] Search key to ICS recent apps [add CM9, AOKP and Peter Alfonso version]
and the HOW-TO : [HOWTO] Remap hardware button to ICS recent apps
i tried to make it myself, but i couldn't, so i would like to make a request, or a little help for this MOD

The first link is a flashable .zip, did you try it yourself? I feel tempted to... It's for IML74K so it should work I guess.
The second one is just the instructions on how to do it ourselves, I might try this tomorrow, right now I need some sleep.
So is the flashable zip usable with the teamhacksung ics version?

you gotta change the build.prop in the zip file so it would be flashable on i897

Or you can just remove the assertions from the update scripts. It seems to work, but it messes up some framework assets, as I was expecting, see the screenshots.
I'll see if I can the file from our build, decompile, make the changes and then recompile but I'm pretty new at this stuff. For instance.... do I have to sign the file to be able to use it, and how do I do that?
and yes, it works beautifully. having the app switcher just one tap away makes this a true multi tasking device to me. You will lose this button functionality though, so if you depend on it this won't work for you.

I probably can't help you in any way to get the job done, but I'm always willing to beta test while I learn how to do some of this stuff. Let me know if you need a second person to test and debug.

LG UI 3.0 Home + Weather Widget

As Nooby asked to collect all launchers/etc. I decided to open this thread here
Firstly i must say that it was Gabwerkz (so obviously, big thanks for him!) idea to push lg's launcher from repack to cm10. As we all can try - it really wroks !
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is original flashable zip provided by tantrums:
LG_Home3_by_gabwerkz.zip - 24.34 Mb
Only LGhome3 with themes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
What i've changed in my version:
Removed search bar
Added Weather Widget.apk
Download - 42 Mb
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is version proposed by Soleiyu:
Enabled search bar
Added Weather Widget.apk
Download - 42 Mb
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we can discuss this topic in proper place
And this is how my little-modified version looks (you can easily change any icon on homescreen by long-tapping on it, then again on some brush-like thing, and then choose needed icon)
thanks!!! i was looking for it!!! i've tried before my own way pushing the apk extracted from repack but it doesn't work... i hope this one really work!
Will these work with CM10?
Think we should try to port the lockscreen, since it is really nice, but I ve never ported anything, so maybe anyone with time and the knowledge can give it a shot. Dont know, if it's just about to also push the app and chmod it, or if there are serious changes needed for it to work. But I think we would at least have to mod framework a bit...
Thanks for this thread btw

If someone really has knowledge to port lockscreen from lg 3.0 to cm10, lets the black magic begin but if no, that would be big pity, its really pretty.

I wasnt talking about this cheap port. I was talking about taking the actual lockscreen.apk from KU repack and push it to /system/app/, chmod it and use it, but idk, if we need to mod framework as well, since I am still a theming noob But maybe one of the themers here, can tell me, what is needed to get it working, if it's possible at all and if it's possible, if we need to mod framework or not

it depends if the lockscreen uses files from framework or if it is a standalone apk. Haven't played with ICS or JB ROMs yet since I'm waiting for a stable or for an official stock from LG.

[Q] System ui crashing.

Hi guys, I have been using my themed V for a couple of weeks with no problems until recently, my systemUI started crashing for no reason when I go into maps or Facebook.
I tried reinstalling the apps, reverting to a older version, flashing a nandroid backup, replacing the systemUI.all but nothing seems to work so I have no idea what to upload here for the talented developers to help.
I've done everything that I know how to save reflashing the whole phone using flashtool.
Speaking of which, does flashtool work on Windows 8?

You mean just like before?
You can only copy /res/layout/statusbar_header.xml from that one I made before, to your new SystemUI, using winrar. And that's it.

[GUIDE][MOD][TRICK][ICS+] Enabling Soft Keys with just adding one line to build.prop

Hey Guys! I am new here, please bare with me
I got this trick working on 2 devices of mine which weren't shipped with Soft Keys enabled :cyclops:
This is the easiest! And you don't have to edit framework-res.apk anymore :highfive:
Procedure:
Download Root Browser from Playstore
Go to System folder and open build.prop using Text Editor
Now add this line at the end of build.prop file "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
Reboot!
Voila! Enjoy Soft Keys on your phone
PS: I know I am not the only one who found this trick, I am sharing because I found it kinda cool

They will work on any AOSP ROM. This mod only requires a change to the build.prop. Its adding one line to the build.prop and then rebooting. If you don;t like it then just delete the lines from the build.prop, save, reboot.
I tried it on my LG E980 CM 11, why there is still no soft-keys after the reboot, any help, please ?
EDIT: after trying the 4th time, I've got it works, thanks !
Thanks so much its working on my device
Alcatel One Touch Fierce
Running Android 4.2.2

[Q] HELP ME PLEASE! how can I enable On-screen Keys ?

LG P880 cm10.1.3 stable
how can I enable On-screen Keys and navbar ?
I already tried to to add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" line to build.prop. No success here. Wont boot, not even go to the CM logo. Just black screen.
Any Ideas ?
Thx for your help
BTW,
the reason why I want to enable softkey and (if possible) disable the capacitive buttons is the following:
I have hugh fingers. And so often when I type I accidently hit the home button instead of the space bar. It is really annoying. However, I never had this issue with my old SGS and my GalaxyTab.
And another thing: Sometimes when I hit the upper end of the buttons, it fires the long click action, e.g. it goes directly to RecentApps instead of HOME.
There are actually plenty of tutorials all over XDA (general or software section).
Search for it.
If you want further help you have to tell us details about your current setup.
EDIT: Just to let you know,
I searched for 1 min and found 3 different ways. One last tip: don't use the XDA search but Google, way more reasonable outcome.

Well, the problem seems to be limited to cm10.1.3.
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
works on cm11 nightlies just fine.
Well, thanks for mentioning google. Always helpful.
I still find no other ways than editing build.prop (or using apps that do that for you)

The qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 just means that your device has no hardware menu buttons.
Whether CM didn't set it so this will enable navigation bar or you did something wrong.
5 Mins of search also got me this build.prop line to add:
ro.show.navigationbar=1
Try it.

Same as qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 . Does not boot.
I guess i stick with cm11 nightlies then
but thanks anyway
how are you editing the build.prop?
many file editors give problems with boot after edit, the best option is to copy file, edit and then push to phone through adb
the quemu hw keys is universal on cm to tell if your phone has hw keys or not so it should not be causing problems
(also check if it is already present in the build.prop)
If still it isn't working and don't want to change rom you can always use xposed framework which has a few different modules for nav bar

ehhh .... i guess i stay with the nightlies ... they seem pretty usable as a dailydriver so far
ok, one last option is edit build.prop then flash

I forgot about the issues with win you are right.
OP you should edit build.prop with notepad++
open file with n++, add the line, highlight it and check that in the bottom right of the bar it says encoding "Unix"

I adb'd into the device and changed the build.prop via shell nano and viola everything works on cm10.1
