Disable soft keys? - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anybody tell me how to disable soft. keys on my phone cause i dont like it :/
And what is best, to use pie control after that or?How to make something simmilar like on pac rom ?
Thanks!

Have you tried looking for the answer before posting ? I think you should take a look at the answer Google can give you ! If this doesn't help the words you are looking for are "remove navigation bar"
For pie control the option I once used was lmt launcher but maybe there are better options now. I think there are many versions on the play store.

I always used full!screen to disable navigation bar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...oogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=full!screen
Yes, Pie Control is good. Choose one, there are more than one on the playstore, just look, which one fits best

I use the app hide soft keys it allows me to hide the soft keys when I'm not using them but bring them back with one tap. I can change how it looks the icons, the size and transparency. If you want all the features you have to pay but the free version works

(Request ) app/mod for wakeing the phone to lock screen using soft keys/home button

I have an optimus 4x(just like all of us):screwy:, and the lock/unlock/power button is a bit awkward:banghead:...
All of the unlock apps present in market require pressing the power button.
Can any one developed an app/mod that will wake the phone without the use of power button!?
I myself would like try but don't know first thing about Android development. So if u lazy then please guide me in which direction to go

If you use holo locker from the market you can use the volume button to wake the screen. If that's any good?

I know this is not your inteded answer, but would't the phone be unlocked all the time? I mean, those capacitive buttons are easily pressed, even through pockets. Plus, you'd need to power them all the time which would cause some battery drain.
On the old HTC Desire S we had "Sweep2Wake" - but that requires kernel modifications AFAIK. Maybe something for the future as it was quite a nice feature, and I don't like using physical buttons to wake my phone as it wears them out too quickly.
How about smart screen off pro from play store? It uses the proximity sensors and/or the light sensors to wake up your phone by put them out of the pocket or anything else...
Great app that I used by my self...

Hello.
You can try also "Auto Screen On" from Google Play. It works with the frontal sensor; it's perfect to have your phone turned on when getting out from your pocket. After trying similar apps, I prefer this

Possible to add apps to pie controls?

Title says it all really. Is it possible to add apps to pie controls? I've seen pictures, but can't find out how from anywhere.

hi lazy guy...the i-net is full of howto´s. if you use lmt, then go to lmt, on the top hit pie. than i.e. push pie item 1 - than select app and choose your app. that´s it.

So I have to use that. That's all I wanted to know, just thought it would be more efficient to use the one that was already there if possible.
Whats the big deal with the pie control? Its almost useless , you can use your button to navigate, sliding on the edge of the screen and using it almost same with the existing physical button is making your life too complicated

Hard to reach back button one handed on Note for me at least, so I find it very nice to use.

I hope you are not annoyed from wifi icon

Why question his motives guys? Maybe he just doesn't want the whole notification bar to be full of icons.
If you have wifi, vibrate/silent mode, stamina mode and power saving mode on, then two thirds of the bar are full of icons. Even more was taken up when I had a rom that showed the NFC icon. It just looks cluttered

Whichever feels best to u..I mostly like having the icons on the statusbar as it is meant to show the icons..I just don't see the point of hiding the icons..but it's up to u to decide cuz everyone has their own likes and dislikes

Then why post just to question him and tell him to leave it alone? Not wishing to cause an argument. Just curious.
Edit: To try and answer the original question - I also cannot find anything in build.prop and it seems that you are unable to disable notifications for the eco mode controller. It looks like it can't be disabled easily.

Not at all,I ain't trying to stir up any arguments..I'm just trying to tell him that such thing isn't possible and live happily with what he's got.

woa woa, chill, chill everyone. hm.. i really appreciated everyone's opinion, thanks any way. :laugh::laugh::good:
If you're rooted, try this :
Install Notifications Off
Disable notifications by unchecking Eco Mode Controller
Reboot
Check if you can see the icon when you enable stamina mode.
If this doesn't work, I'm not sure there's an easy way to do this.
Have tried, and dont works, looks it somting difficult. Thanks anyway.

Any Fullscreen toggles for 4.3?

Any fullscreen toggles for the Xperia Z as of 4.3, to disable the Soft (Capacitive) keys?
I used to use This and it worked when I was on 4.2 (despite being Gnex tool), but it no longer works for me.
Going into the build.prop I can't find any of the classic mentions.
Without installing roms, of course. Something someone can use on any.

I also use "GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" from Kingvortex. In addition to this I use LMT, works perfect with 4.3.
Highly recommended.
I use it too great app I have it running all the time.

Works pretty well indeed. Thanks.
When I converted to LMT with no soft-keys back on my Galaxy Nexus I could never go back. I've had people pick up my phone and look through it and they can't tell how to go home or back or anything so it also works as a pretty (somewhat) good privacy measure LOL.
So much space, so pretty.

[Q] Intelligent backlight and Glove mode on Xperia Z1?

Has anyone succeeded to get them to work on Xperia Z1? From the thread about intelligent call handling, i installed all 4 apks, including intelligentbacklight, i implemented the smartbacklight in settings menu, but its not working. I noticed that when i change the setting from on to off, the logcat shows warning: datachanged but no participant pkg='com.android.providers.settings' uid=10352. Any ideia how can it be fixed? And about the glove mode, did somebody make a port from Xperia Z2?
We had glove mod on older android version. I don't know why we don't have it now.
And can you explain intelligent backlight.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
Well...intelligent backlight is the feature of Xperia Z2, which keeps the screen light on while you looking at it.....similar to the Galaxy series...the devs here successfully ported the smart call features (the gestures whenever you receive a call) but the smart backlight still doesnt work...and about Glove mode....ive had the Z1 since the first release on jelly bean, and ive never had the glove mode
I had glove mod on this I can swear with my z1.
I guess there is no much interest in intelligent backlight from devs.
But I would like to have it in future.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
At least can they give me a clue what this warning is about...because the only things left to port from the Z2 are these two, plus the double tap 2 wake, but obviously the last wants a different kernel...lol

Hmm, looking forward to that. I hope the devs could make a way.

Is the glove mode available for non rooted z1 like the background defocus? Could you provide the link if ever?

To get the glove mode setting just decompile framework-res apk and then modify one of the bools for the glove mode. It's there. If you don't know how then just go into my threads and find multiuser mod. I put 2 easter eggs into it with one being glove mod support. Unfortunately it's not working and it never was. The other easter egg works great though, it's just not that easy to find or realise.
