Can anyone skillful add the 3-dot menu button as a fourth button ? :victory:
Hmm. I had a quick go at this by changing the visibility in the xml but it's still not there until it's needed. This may need a smali edit.

It ought be a setting in the rom to always display it or only if it's needed....
I need it to stay in the button bar permanently as it sometimes appears at the top and this is a huge screen to overcome in order to reach it.

I totally agree ! Would be a great/usefull option.
I've tried getting the menu button to stay in the nav bar but it seems to.be beyond my skill. It looks like this isn't an xml edit but a smali one.
And I'm no good with smali yet.
However..would it help if it could be in the statusbar as well as the nav bar? That's very possible..

well using lmt 1.91 with single button > menu button is easier for you and for my use so maybe someone with smali skills could do it later
PS: menu button in statusbar is not much comfortable to use
would love this. any news?

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!

Yeah, I noticed you left the menu button enabled. I've edited mine to disable the menu button as well, so it's all off for me.

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):

Finally i did it. take a look
A quicker solution would be to install xposed framework and xblast tools.
Its a 10 second job and gives you the options of various soft button heights on the fly.

If anybody is wanting to use lmt pie and hide the soft keys for good, the tried and true method still works. Add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to the bottom of your build.prop and voila.
Thanks. Nice to have the extra screen space.

Don't have my phone yet, but if you disable the soft keys, how do get to the home screen from within any app (since the back and home keys are the soft keys)?

If you're using LMT then just add a menu button to the pie.
So I disabled my navigation bar and also lost the menu option in some apps. I found an app called All In One Gestures on the PS and it works very well.

Thanks! I was using something else for PIE that did not have a menu option. I switched to LMT and now all is well.
This is by and far the best app for this:

Can also swipe up to unhide and set options etc.. Use in combination with LMT

I'm using this too and really enjoying it. The extra screen real estate is awesome, and I like being able to have custom themed navigation buttons.
Darn it
When i bought my nexus 6 it was...unlock bootloader, remove encryption, root, install twrp, turn down dpi, remove navbar, and install pie lol.

I don't know why but for some reason after Chrome updated the hiding soft keys build.prop edit started crashing my phone - giving me Google Play Services errors. Wasn't until I put the soft keys back that it fixed the problem.
I have been doing this to all my nexus devices.
I would really love to be able to swap the back and recent buttons on the nav bar so that the back button is on the right side and the recents button is on the left leaving the circle home button in the center. This would make one handed use for me super easy as I rarely use the recents button one handed but the back button is my most used button more than home.
is there a way to do this and RETAIN google launcher? I dont want to resort to using another launcher if I dont have to. I was hoping maybe a root enabled app of some sort possibly?
You don't need to change launchers to swap navigation bars. Those two are completely irrelevant.
This is a custom rom feature, it is not yet implemented. In the themes and apps forum, you can find a tutorial on how to do what you're asking for.

Its fine I was on mobile earlier so I couldn't go out of my way to find the link. Do note that it may not be available for the ROM that you're using but the tutorial is there on how to do it. I can do the edits for you if you'd like but I'd need framework-res.apk and systemui.apk for your ROM.

Hi users.
Does anyone has an idea how to change the menu button on the navigation bar with the recent apps button??
Tried g2tweaksbox and when I enter the sub menu in settings to change the layout the settings app gives fc.
Anyone has any other idea or solution to change that button?
Thanks.
Sent using my GFlexing phone ? ?
Not a total solution, but I don't use the softkeys.... I use pie controls. They stay hidden until you swipe from the bottom , left or right screen sides. With it you can have any button combos, color, size or actions.
Works awesome. Assuming your rooted and use xposed

You need Root permissions, besides the Xposed and module Xstana, next run Xstana and restart phone to changer, I have it installed on my LGL23 and working perfectly
