Is there a way to disable the capacitive buttons? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just switched to maclaw's PACman ROM and I want to use the built-in android soft buttons, I want to know if there's a way to both disable the capacitive buttons themselves and the lights they have, I know it's possible using the stock ROM but I don't really want to use Touchwiz.

Gtablet Capacitive button replacement app

Need help, does anyone know the app that you can download to replace the capacitive buttons on the gtablet? Basically onscreen buttons that you can use instead of the capacitive ones.

I believe there is an app called Button Saviour.
I don't use it, but I know some users do.

Button Saviour works good with the GTAB
This app requires that the Android Debugging feature be checking on the Applications > Development setting.
Button savior will place a different set of buttons on the screen of the g tab, it will not change or replace the functions of the capacitive buttons themselves.
I use Button remapper to disable the capacitive buttons ( set them all to focus) and they stop responding to errant hits. You can always restore to default settings if you choose.

Do you use Button Remapper by beansoft? Do you use the version for the galixy tab or is there a version specifically for our tab?

Go to settings, hybrid properties (paranoid preferences) then slide to the right and go to interface and in the navbar size, make it to 0% and you'll be rid of those soft keys. Hit thanks if this helps.

http://prntscr.com/1axw02
these are the soft keys i am talking about.
i guess i am happy now, since it solved itselfe.
but i dont know how i got them to appear or disappear.
Yes those keys are the one's that we get with paranoid android based ROMs usually, they have been ported to the avatar ROM i guess. To disable them if they appear in future, look out for a setting related to navigation bar in the settings. Btw how's the stability and battery life of the ROM?

Thanks (i will push, not just say).
I have only had the ROM for a day and that day i have been home... So cant speak about stability and battery life.
I have ordered a new battery aswell. So hopefully with the new battery, new rooted phone and new ROM i will have a great phone
I am really tho looking for ROMs for Galaxy Note that is slim and makes it really fast and smooth.
That is the main goal why i rooted the phone. I hate that it lags and takes time to open simple apps like the borwser. Wait for it to load to be able to type an URL...

[Q] Pure Google with capacitive buttons disabled?

Im looking for a ROM or maybe a Kernel would work as well?
Either way some sort of software that would give me a reasonably stock android experience, but would also disable the capacitive buttons on the ONE and add android on-screen buttons.
Anyone care to point me in the right direction?

[Q] How to get on-screen buttons

How can I have on-screen buttons? I don't want to use an application for that.
I want to do this because after I've installed CM11, my capacitive buttons doesn't work.

Read my FAQ here to learn how to enable them or use this app. Have fun.

Kernel that just enables logo as a button?

I am running stock GPE android 5.1 (though my phone came with Sense). I want to change the capacitive buttons to match the normal google layout i.e. I want to enable the htc logo as the home button and change the home button to display recent apps. Is there a simple kernel that will just do this and nothing else? If not is there a simple kernel that will just enable the htc logo as a button and not give me options to overclock or change a bunch of other stuff? Thanks for your help.

I don't know exactly if you can do that specific option with this kernel, but ElementalX has the aroma installer so you can leave everything stock without having to overclock and you enable just the features you want. I'm running it with Logo2Menu, so maybe there is an option to change the button arrangement. Doesn't hurt to give it a try.

You don't want that feature trust me. It doesnt turn the logo as a button, but puts the sensor a little bit above it, so when you are typing you accidentally open the stupid menu and hit something random, and next thing you know, you are in a video call with someone from madagascar. Trust me dude, you dont want this stupid feature on the htc one m7.
You can also just enable soft keys too instead of using the physical buttons.
There is an app somewhere that actually uses the space above the logo, but this is different then the kernel. I just used the elementalx kernel (which was my backup plan if I didn't find something better). I can't do logo2home and home2recents like I wanted to, but I don't have any problem with accidentally hitting the logo button instead of space. I guess this could be because I usually swipe to type, but I'm testing it now and I have to be off the screen before it hits the button (though just barely). Overall I'd say definitely worth it for me.
