I actually just wrote up an article about how to disable the capacitive buttons
- http://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-s6-disable-capacitive-buttons/
and I'm working on one for the software navigation too. I'll edit here with a link when it's published

I hope it helps

I have done this to all my Samsung phones,,,is there a way to enable the menu softkey as well?

In the Pie Control application, there is a option to set a button as the menu key(it requires root access). So you could create a fourth button in the pie controls app or you could even set one of your pre-set buttons to execute the menu key when a long-press is detected on it
Cool is there a way to show the stock menu softkey without using pie?

So far I have only been able to find a solution for this that involves Xposed. Sadly, I don't think it's working on TouchWiz, right?
Yeah I dont think it work yet,,,but hopefully soon. Thanks for looking!

Very nice but.......it makes double tab home button camera to stop working and night clock also gets messed up. Also it makes the phone detect like if there were a magnetic cover on it.

I have make small app, which switching off screen.
Instant, without any waits or faking switching off by set brightness to zero.
It's simulate pressing of power button.
Maybe this one will be interest for somebody
root needed
Nice! I'd be more interested if you could do unlock via soft keys as we had in Hero , i.e. home and menu, as I find the power button is too recessed for easy access.
Not sure if softkeys would be too easy to trigger by mistake tho ??

There is a hack for this but the menu key etc on the hd are not active when the screen is locked so it doesn't work. I did it today but you have to press power then the keys become active and you can use menu etc to unlock. Pointless as you still need to use power button first. The hero's keys were hard buttons as is the desire. It worked great on the desire. Unless anyone knows a way to have them active while locked? My power buttons a nightmare as it's not very clicky and really recessed. My wife's hd power button is much easier to use. Anyone know a way to have the soft keys active all the time?

Thanks for this app, i was waiting for.
Power button isn't as practical as your app to power down the phone.
Thank you mate.
Very Nice.... I like it.
But can you please Chance the Icon for me?
Im not able to do this myself.
I would like something like that.
Back and white with a bit gray or shaded would be very nice

In technical terms,yes- it would circumvent the process of having to use one's digit to find aforementioned hard power button and then depress said button.

Lol, maybe I didn't want the technical version after all. Dumb it down so I can understand. I'm have it installed but I don't see it doing anything. I have an Evo. How does this work (explain normal).
r0cky.Da.3v0.SU.
Its just a app to lock the phone and turn the screen off. Not sure if it works on evo
Ok thanks buddy, Uninstalling.

Dunno if this is doable but have you seen the screen lock on the new nexus that was seen at recent web 2.0 summit. Its kinda like the effect you get when u turn off an old crt TV. Could you implement that instead of the current fade effect? Ta
here i send you the perfect icon for me.
I hope you can do this. This would be very great.
Can you make the white corners transparent?
If you cant please make it black...
Im looking forward to you work

Hello, thanks a lot. its look very very sexy.
The only problem i have is with the "More Icons Widget"
That shows me the old symbol.
I think thats not you Problem. So i will check that.
thanks!
Thank you exidler for this useful app. I am just wondering if you can make use of the accelerometer sensor to turn off the screen ( for example by putting the phone upside down) . Thanks again.

i also agree ! that would be a perfect app and since most people do not check their sms upside down it would also be extremely practical

Glad to hear that
I would really love to be able to swap the back and recent buttons on the nav bar so that the back button is on the right side and the recents button is on the left leaving the circle home button in the center. This would make one handed use for me super easy as I rarely use the recents button one handed but the back button is my most used button more than home.
is there a way to do this and RETAIN google launcher? I dont want to resort to using another launcher if I dont have to. I was hoping maybe a root enabled app of some sort possibly?
You don't need to change launchers to swap navigation bars. Those two are completely irrelevant.
This is a custom rom feature, it is not yet implemented. In the themes and apps forum, you can find a tutorial on how to do what you're asking for.

Its fine I was on mobile earlier so I couldn't go out of my way to find the link. Do note that it may not be available for the ROM that you're using but the tutorial is there on how to do it. I can do the edits for you if you'd like but I'd need framework-res.apk and systemui.apk for your ROM.

I just flashed the MOD zip and it worked. stinks that you have to clear cache and let everything rebuild just to do the mod because if I want to switch back Ill have to do that over again. I'm thankful for this option though! Thanks again

That's pretty cool!
I did not know that existed. I found it on my Moto X Pure Edition 2015.
I don't know if I could handle status bar and menu swaps, but still cool to know.
I found this thread searching for navbar swap options.
Thanks!
Does anyone know how I can turn off the hardware buttons on the Droid Turbo? I want to completely disable them so I can use the UI buttons on the Bliss ROM I am currently running. If anyone knows please share with me how you do it. Thank you!!

It would be a ROM setting. In settings search for navigation buttons? That's what it's called in another ROM, Resurrection Remix. Make sure you have the software buttons turned on before you turn off your hardware (capacative) buttons, otherwise you will have nothing.
Also, you would probably get a better answer in the ROM thread itself.

I tried that but there's no option in there. Just for the on screen buttons.

Try asking in the ROM thread. The dev can tell you if it's possible. Like this question and answer?
carlos67 said:
Quick question.
I'm seriously thinking of trying this rom but need to know if the 3 capacitive buttons can be disabled and an on-screen lollipop style back/home/recents software nav bar put in its place?
If not possible in the rom, what about an exposed module that does this?
Would appreciate any helpful responses

Even if you turn them off, you will still be able to "see" them as the white paint outlines them. You will not reclaim that screen space. They are permanently there, you will just have software keys to use instead.
Hide the hardware keys?
https://www.reddit.com/r/droidturbo/comments/3v89fu/hide_the_hardware_keys/
No. The outlines are painted behind the glass. If your unlocked and running a custom ROM, you can disable the capacitive keys, but they will still be visible because there physically outlined behind the glass.

Aside from a front glass skin (if there are any that mask the buttons) I don't think there's any easy and appealing way to "make them disappear." It might be possible to disassemble the front glass and black them out, but I think that's too risky of a procedure just to hide them.

With the new update for S10 you can customize the Bixby butto to open other stuff.
I want to program the button to automatically drag down the notification bar.
Does anyone has an idea how to do that?

I don't have mine in hand just yet but from what I've seen, the app referred above is significantly more superior than the options Samsung gives for the Bixby button.

I think you need to check out this thread here:

From there, the developer would probably be able to assist you much faster.
