Hey guys,
I have disabled the capacitive buttons at the bottom of my One and am now using soft keys on CM10 and love it.
Has anyone thought of a way to hide the capacitive buttons at the bottom? Any sort of sticker or anything that would work?

Get a black permanent marker and hide them forever.
You could get a long black sticker or something and stick it down, maybe making a hole so you can see the HTC logo (if you really don't want to hide that anyway)?

Hello. I was just wondering if any of you out there (more specifically the people who own the Galaxy Note) if you know if it is possible to disable the finger touch input on the Galaxy Note when using the stylus? What I mean is, if you were to want to use JUST the stylus and NOT your fingers to navigate around on the Galaxy Note, is there an option that makes that possible or...?
Hopefully you guys understand what I'm trying to get an answer to.
Thanks!
there is no disable option however if you want to navigate your device using the stylus only, this is done pretty easily. The only buttons that you cannot use with the s pen are the hardware back and menu button however Samsung have created the same functions of the back and menu button if you use gestures on the pen i.e. if you keep your finger on the button of the s pen and swipe left on the screen, it acts the same as the back button likewise, if you swipe upwards, it acts like the menu button.
So in other words, what your saying is that the finger touch input will still be enabled even if I use the stylus?

First of all dont insult it sayin stylus , its S-pen and is way more functional than so called stylus.
I wonder why you want to disable finger touch. if u dont want ur capacitive back button to get pressed when drawing (most of the users were facing it), then let me tell you that newer roms are taking care of that. i.e while drawing if you hit back button, it wont work unless you lift the S pen.
if your requirement is something else, then you can use gloves
If the finger touch won't be disabled when using the S-Pen, then one must not touch or rest his/her palm while using the S-Pen. It would have been more comfortable if the palm could rest the screen while writing. Yes, gloves may be useful here..:laugh:
Currently ICS and JB TW ROM's have S-note where you can enable palm rejection. But otherwise you cannot disable the touch on your touch screen
When you do some practice you can draw while resting your palm on the screen without touching the menu or back button.. I use to take notes in college only on my fone and it's very much familiar to use spen now

Beerbong is working on palm rejection in pa 3
Or probably he is done

I am using zmooth , and if you are rooted it can be used as a good enough replacement of the physical home button
Apparently so....

Yeah, this was discovered a while back in some coding. Not really sure I'll have a use for it, but it's good to know it's there.
The answer is: Not Really.
In the other thread they showed a pic of the digitizer used on the HTC One. There is no "touch-sensitive" area under the HTC logo. The kernel hack discussed where the HTC logo *is* turned into a button mentions that it is only responsive at the very top of the logo.

Although this is nice work, I think the HTC logo as a button is a lost cause.
Am I the only one that likes the two buttons? I like minimal designs and I have no problem long pressing or double taping a button to get what I need. I think the two buttons looks nicer than having a dedicated menu/multitasking button.
I have been on HTC for sometime and all of them had the long press for multitasking so I might just be used to this kind of setup already.
I'd be fine with the two button layout if it weren't for how they handle the menu "button" for apps (like this one!) that haven't adopted Androids latest design guides for how the menu function should be handled... I really hate that big black bar on the bottom of an otherwise beautiful screen!

i like the two button layout....took a little getting used to but....
I'm used to the buttons now, but that would have been cool to have the HTC Logo as an actual full functioning button.

if you root/unlock and install either ViperROM or the Xposed Mod pack, you can get rid of the black bar and instead long press back button.
that's what I did, I too hated that black menu bar at the bottom!

Does anyone knows if the small black bar at the bottom of a screen is TOUCH SENSITIVE?
Maybe we could use it for soft key navigation, but first we'll need to know if that part has got proper touch panel underneath. If it has, we can modify drivers and try to use it.
Maybe someone disassembled RAZR M/I and has got some pictures. It would be great to make that bar touch sensitive.

I think it's just a part of the screen bezel.
Like on many other devices (ie. Nexus 7)

Yes it is, use Lmt launcher or search in Omar Rom's thread for the line in build.prop that disables the softkeys making that black bar disappear. He told it to someone there.

He meant the black glass panel beneath the softkeys, I think it may be a remnant of a capacitive key idea that didn't materialise because they went with on screen software keys. Back to the OP I doubt they would then implement a touch panel (an unnecessary cost) under the black section,although the thoughts have having an extra touch sensitive panel would be nice.
I'm looking to buy the Z1 but I will miss the menu button on my Galaxy S1.
Is there a way or a mod to add that soft menu key/button? I don't like the "3 round buttons" on the top right.
I love that the LG G2 has a setting to modify those keys, is there something similar on the Z1?
Thanks guys,
yes
Can you elaborate, please?
Where and how ?
Guess you can install xposed framework and gravity box and you can customize mostly everything of your navbar. I ended up removing the navbar and use instead the pie because I find softkeys a ridiculous waste of space that let the manufacturer to save 20 freaking cents.

I really don't like soft keys/nav bar also. It's a waste of space, in my opinion, and I can't believe that even in full screen apps they are present. What's the point of a 5 in. screen then :/..
