I am trying to lock down the Hardware buttons on my m700 using
PHM Regedit I can lock down all buttons successfully except the Windows button using
Flag SET TO 9 ON BUTTONS 40C1 etc in registry
I am also using askarya PocketKiosk Builder 2.6 which on soft reset the task manager works again.
Unfortunately there appears to be a bit of a bug. Although I disable all hardware buttons the and only allow through my own applications it still after a soft reset then reactivates the windows hardware start button allowing access to the menus ontop of my allowed app, simply meaning you can access all programs and settings. (Bit pointless really)
Can anyone help me lock down the windows button and the 4 way navigation pad. Is there any reg tweaks or other suggestions you can help me with
Thanks in advance
Since i switched to cm for kfhd7" (many thx @ hashcode!) i miss the hideable navigation bar like i've had on stock rom.
Does anybody knows a way to get this navigation bar working with cm10.1?
The search didn't get a result for me.
thx in advance
Do the following:
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap System
3. Check the Expanded Desktop tickbox.
4. Press the Home button.
5. Now, when you hold the power button on the Kindle, in the menu where you shut down or reboot the Kindle there will be an option called Expanded Desktop, activate it.
6. Bye bye navbar!!
7. To reactivate the navbar, hold the power button down and deselect the Expanded Desktop option.
Now you can finally use all the available screen space goodness for apps. If you want to do away with the navbar completely, I'd recommend doing a search for LMT Launcher.
Thank you for the answer.
I think i should describe it a little bit more precise.
The expanded desktop option is no option for me because it's to circuitous to get the navigation bar back.
The best way for me was the way like it implemented in stock rom where i can display the navigation bar only with one slide.
Is there a solution to get this behavior back?
Yes, goto this thread and follow the instructions, if you get stuck let me know and I'll try to guide you.

Ok that's a beginning.
I don't really like the pies but it's better than the static navigation bar.
A pity that there it's seem to be no way to get the old behavior back.
Thank you!
So when I was using the Android Rev HD with the back button mod, I was able to remove the black bar using "qemu.hw.mainkeys" while still keeping the menu button on apps like Chrome that support it (NOT in the form of black bar). But since I flashed the GE Rom, qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 will disable the black bar but also remove the menu button in all apps that have it.

Anyone?
Hello yours,
some apps displaying the menu key into the navigation bar. Some tweaking tools also offers an option to show these menu key generally. So far, so good. But when I touch on these button, the recent panel will be opened - every time. A restart changes nothing... I'm currently on V07.
Has anyone a solution for this?
On a german forum (android-hilfe.de) I found the same issue posted from another user, but these thread is still without any answers.
Many thanks in advance
Dan
It must be a bug in the official rom.
I use a tool called "menu button" in google play, it works well, if correctly configured (I do not show any menu, but I use the menu button in the notification bar of this app).
Waiting for a correction too.
Since I recently switched to a Galaxy S10+, I donated my Mi A2 to my girlfriend. After I fully wiped my phone, she installed it like any other new phone and finished the wizard. All her apps got reinstalled nicely and everything looked nice.
But now the home button (3 button nav) sometimes just stops responding to a single press. When I hold the button I do get the Google Assistant as expected, but single press doesn't take me to the home screen. After a reboot everything is back to normal, but only for a while. The button does show the colored dots when I press it.
What could be wrong? It looks a bit like some process is blocking it to prevent exiting a wizard or something (I had it once on a Pixal tablet, which thought I had the setup wizard open), but the back button does work as expected and I can navigate using different methods.

you need to.provide more info to get the right answer ..just use full screen navigation ...in settings try reassigning it different actions to see what happens ...but sounds like the delay between single press / long press for assistant is what is screwing you ...i disabled long press for assistant cos it kept giving me the assistant when i was trying to get home ....
but still.hard to say since you have 0 info about your problem here
The problem is that I don't have much more information as well. It's hard to reproduce the issue. We tried pinning and unpinning an app, opening different apps, changing the gestures, but nothing seems to trigger the issue.
I also tried gesture navigation, but that doesn't have a gesture for going directly back home. Also I think it's not possible to reassign the buttons on stock rom.
When I used the phone I never had this issue.

on my phone if i swipe up from bottom i go straight home ... by more info i mean
1. device/rom/version/root status/ launcher/ ...stuff like that
2.relevant fixes you tried ...
3. short video of when it happens
anyway .. i don't understand because you can choose what actions you want to happen in relation to the gestures ..so if you wanna go home in one shot assign that action to a specific gesture
have you ACTUALLY tried my fix of disabling google assistant ..so you don't trigger assistant or freeze by holding home button too long ..
try assigning double tap on home to go home ..as a workaround
The phone has no customizations at all: stock rom (Android One), no root, default Xiaomi launcher.
Version: Android 10, march security update (up to date according to Xiaomi)
With the gestures I can choose between:
- navigation using gestures
- navigation using 2 buttons (this is selected)
- navigation using 3 buttons
I have tried the first option. Swiping up does indeed go to the home screen when I'm in an app. But not to my default screen. Like when I swiped right to a different home screen page, it doesn't return to the first one.
I will try disabling opening the Assistant using the home button.

you should downgrade to pie because in 10 many people have lag , ui feezing and later on random reboots.. i think you will find in a month or two the UI will freeze up ..like what is happening now may be a "mini" freeze
pie is stable.. im on miui 12 official pie for wayne and wow am glad i dithed android1 and gave up my obsession of having 10 ..
I just upgraded because Xiaomi pushed the upgrade. And my girlfriend doesn't know how to downgrade.
Besides, I have been using the same phone with the same Android version for a few months without any issues. It's only since she started using it. That's why I was thinking about some wizard/setup preventing the use of the home button, which we had a few years ago on a tablet. But that was blocking more buttons then, so not exactly the same.
