Anyone?

I don't think this is possible. And btw, why would you even want software keys in the One?

No you can't, but check out lmt launcher on XDA. It works very nicely. Gives you customizable Pie controls. Requires root I belive...

Anyone that have tested "Softkey Enabler" in Google Play Store? You need root, but it's just to install it no need for tweaking.
Or will this be possible on our HTC One aswell? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fie9TBOyE4U

Will this work to disable capacative buttons on htc one;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032117

But why doesn't softkeys work on either sense or google edition? And what's the difference between aosp and the two others that make it impossible?

I'm not sure if it's the same case as the S4, but it seems that HTC removed the softkey coding completely.
Also, I've found that for some reason, buildprop doesn't show the softkeys, it merely changes if the annoying 3 dot option shows up ( i think). You'd need a pure AOSP rom to get the softkeys from my own testing.
But on pure AOSP you're giving up: beats audio on the speakers, makes a huge difference, you might be giving up the IR blaster and finally you'd miss out on the well made HTC apps: TV app, camera app and blinkfeed.
I'm stuck in between, I like softkeys too, but the built in apps in sense are great.

This works. I've tried it on mine. Edit the build.prop by adding this line anywhere.

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

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]

[Req] Customizable Sense 5 launcher?

First of all - I don't own the One (I have an HTC DNA) but I figured here would be the better place to post it since more people who could answer could see it. I am a complete stranger to this forum section, so if I do something that the people here in this forum are against, I apologize. Also, I'm not sure if this belongs here or in Q&A, so moderators please move if in wrong place.
Now to the actual question,
Is there such a thing as a Sense 5 based launcher that is more customizable? The features I am wanting is things like disabling widget padding, disabling margins, overlapping widgets, and changing app icons/labels. If you don't understand what I am saying, I'll use an anolagy. Apex/Nova is to AOSP launcher, as what I'm asking about is to Sense 5.
All answers are greatly appreciated.

No. But viper Rom lets you customize the stock sense launcher more than HTC intended.

But can you use those modifications on another ROM? I'm interested it Elliptic ROM for my DNA (which was ported from the One, so you may be familiar with it), and I want to know if there is a way to use these Viper features on the DNA.

There are several mods (at least for the DNA) that do this. I am sure there are some for the One.

Do you mean the app switcher? Viper and several other ROMs have an option for the AOSP app switcher.

Could you just pull the prism.apk from the viper launcher? I'm actually curious to know if doing that would work to get the viper sense 5 settings in another ROM, say ARHD for instance..

[REQUEST][MOD] Brightness control by sliding across statusbar for Sense ROMs

Hello,
One of the greatest tweaks on TrickDroid was the ability to change brightness by sliding your finger across the statusbar. This feature comes from CM, if I remember correctly but was awesome on Sense.
Since torxx has left xda, it would be great if some developer guru could make a mod for this so the feature could be transported to other ROMs.
Maybe an Xposed mod?

Still, it would be nice to be able to have it as an Xposed mod or zip mod so we could use it with any ROM. Viper One has its merits, but it's not for everyone.

GravityBox isn't compatible with TouchWiz ROMs, so I guess the communication between them isn't optimal.
Therefore, it would be incredible to have a module only for the statusbar sliding brightness control.
Xposed Module
would love to have that as module for Xposed , I have JB 4.1.2 , Touchwiz Rom but have nova launcher , I don't want to use GravityBox it drinks battery like crazy

This feature is now available for Sense roms using Xposed module Sense 5/6 toolbox and I'm almost sure that a similar alternative already exist for sammy phones using Xposed. If not you might want to ask in Samsung forums so Samsung devs could hear you.

Htc sense 7 launcher for s6/s6 edge

HTC SENSE 7 LAUNCHER FOR S6/S6 EDGE​
Ok guys, so far this is just a base for a project, currently my device doesn't have root, therefore I'm doing what i can without. Therefore here is the sense 7 launcher working that can be installed on your Galaxy S6/Edge. Install both APK'S
Once/IF we get root i can definitely get things working better. However, in the meantime, when placing widgets you can jut tap them, and move them later.
DOWNLOAD:

Have you been able to get widgets added? That seems broken for me, but blinkfeed is infinitely superior to briefing so I may still keep it. Also theming and social integration are broken too, though I suspect those depend on other apps and frameworks specific to htc devices.
try this
i install and work fine

Installed the plugins and it seems to have allowed social integration on blinkfeed and some theme support, but i still cant get widgets to apply on the sense home launcher. I go to the adding screen but when i drag the widget i want to the screen, nothing happens.

Umm who's work are you saying it is? Xpirits's? Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your wrong. Actually if you would like, you can install each of them and tell the difference for yourself. Unfortunately Xpirits's is a lot further along than mine is.
Hi. You can do a version for Samsung SM-A500F plssssss
