Hi,
You can enable soft keys if you install Xposed Framework and GravityBox-JB (Downloadable in the app)
Somewere ont he forum you can get the xposed .apk file.
Then somewhere is in the gravitybox settings you can enable navigation bar.
You can also set the vibrationtime of the hardware buttons with this frameworkModule
I don't know if you can use build.prop editor to toggle the quem.hw.mainkeys to 1.

But I don't have jellybean ...I am using ics ...can I still install Gravitybox-jb

I don't know how to do that for jellybean.
Are you running the stock ICS? Maybe you can consider to flash cm10.
I don't think it is possible in the stock sence rom.
Maybe there is an app with hovering keys.
This one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatedevgroup.softkeyenabler&hl=nl
Haven't tested but ICS is 4.0.0 right?

Menu button/ lack of

Question about the lack of menu button.
So before buying the phone I I check into it and found out it used the 3dots and not a menu button like other androids.
Also found the back button long press as menu hack.
I have that install but I am still having problems and got questions.
First what do you do when the app your on doesn't have the 3dots?
Xda app doesn't have it to make a new thread. Also found a few of my older apps don't have it either.
Next the problem.
80% of the time when I press and hold the back button it just goes back. Or it will go back and then open the 3dot menu.
Is there any way to fix this or map the menu to long press home?

You can use Elemental X kernal and have the HTC logo as a menu button that's what I use and it works a treat. Are you on a custom OS as if you are you may have flashed something with the 3dot away mod explaining why you never see it?

Stock rooted tmobile Rom.
Xposed mod for back button.
And I don't truly like custom kernels. Had problems in the pass and had to update them weekly

That kernal is stable and doesn't require updating every week so it's a good option for you
+1 for elemental X. It's great. What about if you download pie control from the play store and set a menu control that way? I used to use the back button method but find it doesn't work half of the time. HTC logo2menu from custom kernels work 100%

If you prefer to avoid custom kernel, then use a Rom based on 4.2.2 as these allow long press home to be enabled for menu
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Thanx for the information.
I'll try the pie control for now. And look into the 4.2 Roma and kernel.
I'm so dumb. If you use the hack it hides the menu. Never knew that since I rooted and install the Xposed hack hrs after having the phone.

I don't think so. You need to have 4.0 and up, or you can install Cyanmobile(2.3.8), or use Button Savior or something similar.
EDIT: I forgot, some kind of soft keys can be activated in cm7 when selecting tablet mode(maybe the option has a little bit different name).

I understand you, but I think that no one is interested in modding that.

Alternative
I looked for the same thing but read many threads and it seams there is no way to bring ICS nav bar (or something similar) to a GB rom.
The easiest way is to flash at least an ICS rom on your HD2 (like the one from Tytung) and use one of those 3 methods :
1/ Soft buttons
Use the app "Soft buttons" CAUTION : it's permanent, the only way to remove the nav bar is to re-flash your rom link
2/ Ultimate Dynamic Navbar
Use the app "Ultimate Dynamic Navbar" (link)
3/ GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys
Use GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys (link)
In your particular case, since your are attached to MIUI, you should try MIHOME (MIUI based launcher) on your ICS rom or try to find an ICS based MIUI rom.
Good luck

Enabling softkeys on sense 6

Hi I'm trying to enable soft keys on my HTC one running android 4.4.3 sense 6. I've tried adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to my /system/build.prop, but after a reboot its gone.
Does anyone know how to do this? I've added it using mi xplorer with root privileges.
Hoping to hear from you guys.
Best,
Olaf
