I'm not running any extra virtual key apps... What I want to do... is have the physical N button do a BACK on 1 click, and HOME on 2 clicks... Or normal click BACK, and LONG click HOME...
I've looked through some of the settings - can't tell how to set that up (if at all).
Any thoughts?
Why not use the soft keys built in to CM7?
Sometimes the status bar is gone... either because something causes it to hide, or because I hide it.

The best setup so far (imho), is to set the soft keys show up at volume button press.
Since the power button or N button tend to fail sometimes.
By doing that, you can hide soft keys with no fear and just presse volume button to bring they back to the screen, flawless.

I hate doing that because if I need to change volume I need to leave the app, go into settings, and change it manually. :/
Somehow my "n" button got turned into a back button. Weird. Would much rather haave it be a menu button. but I dont even know how it changed in the first place! lol

My volume still works when I use it to recall the status bar.

Really? Then I will have to see what's up, last time I was always running around the settings and stuff to change the volume.

I second on that.
I'm running nightly 131.
No problem to change the volume neither to show up soft keys.
I use the N key to cancel full screen. Its more comfortable to use than the volume keys for me.
Hrm.. that would work... Where do I configure what the N key does?

This is how I've been doing it as well, but sometimes it brings me all the way back to home after showing the status bar. Do you ever experience that? Any tips if so?
Regardless, I like my volume buttons to be... well... volume buttons.
You could use button savior to have a never-hide home only option button located on the very right side by the N button, leaving that slot unused on adw launcher and treat it as a "permanent" home button.

That's precisely why I haven't used the n button - if there is a way to avoid it, that would be fantastic!

The best thing I ever did was install zMooth. Its a gesture bar that lets you draw the buttons. Almost like my old pre.

Looks interesting, but the only gesture I can manage to make it recognize is home. Any special tricks to this?
Rodney
It has always worked well for me. Have you used the nook screen recalibrate app? Before I ran that I had a really hard time getting the lower part of my screen to recognize my touch. I think there are some sensitivity settings in the zMooth app you can play around with too.

Go to gravity box> navigation bar tweaks>enable master switch and navigation bar. Scroll down and you will found swap back and recent key option. Click on that, and reboot your phone. Make sure you have installed latest gravity box and also gravity box must be enable in xposed installer.

Just got us tab s2 . Love the weight less design..
I don't like having to hit the hardware home button on it though everytime I need to switch app or go back to home page.
Is there an option to get on screen software navigation buttons? Would prefer not to root actually.

Plenty of non root solutions for this just search play for soft keys.
I have a nav bar from Gravity Box (Xposed) but unfortunately the keys are only visible in portrait mode. My favorite soft key solution is called Button Savior and I also like LMT (available on XDA).

Look into ultimate dynamic navbar if you have xposed.

Use GMD Gesture Control. Much better than any soft or hard keys.

According to your sig your running MM? I'm on LP 5.1.1 and having issues finding a navbar that displays correctly in landscape only.. Very frustrating as that is one of the main reasons I rooted. MM is not available for my T810 yet.... Any suggestions?

I am using Pie Controls on the Note8, and have disabled the Navbar using the disable Navbar apk from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...yers-themes-notifications-note8-t3678166/page). Unfortunately, that also disables the ability to hard press the home button. Is there any way that I can retain the hard press home functionality while still stopping the nav bar from appearing whenever I swipe up from the bottom of the screen?

Map the pie control home longpress to do the same thing

Sorry, I should have been more clear. What I want is the ability to hard press the home button again in order to press home, not just to do what it did before (which was just go home anyway). I was wondering if there was a way to, for example, make the navbar zero size or permanently hidden without disabling it, since it seems like it is the navbar itself that actually listens for the hard press.
Came here looking for the same thing. If you make the bottom bar activation area for pie larger than the nav bar it picks it up, so maybe a transparent 1px nav bar with no buttons would do the trick. That way technically it would still be present (allowing for the home hardpress) but still invoke the pie. I'm just researching this today so maybe someone has already come up with a solution and I haven't stumbled on it yet. Did you end up doing anything different?

Looking for hard press when the nav-bar is completely disabled, not just when it's hidden. The issue is that the the hard press functionality seems to be tied to the nav bar software, so if the nav bar process isn't running on the device the hard press isn't processed.

what's the reason for disabling, why not just hide the nav bar

Because if you just hide the nav bar by double tapping the little circle, then if you try to use pie controls on the bottom edge of your screen swiping up unhides the nav bar instead of bringing up pie controls, essentially making pie controls take more work to use than the nav bar when the point is that it's supposed to be faster and more comfortable.

Yes, that's similar to what I'm doing right now. I have a full navbar of back,home,and recent on each side of the screen (I also have the bixby button remapped to back,recents, and home. I've definitely gone overboard on this, but oh well) but I'd like to also replace the bottom nav-bar with pie controls without losing hard-press home functionality.
I ended up using the same apk listed above, I still have the 'hard home press' on the AOD, which is pretty much the only place I used it reliable. On to full time PIE baby!

I am using PIE controls. The hardware button is really annoying as it keeps getting accidentally pressed when activating PIE. Is there anyway to disable it completely? I am rooted but none of the button remapper apps seem to work.

I've tried all the options there. I am on stock rom as well. Its currently on Virtual Navigation Bar. But a single table on the home button still brings me back to Home.

Yeah i just tested it myself now and i get same thing. using virtual navigations. The home button is still acting as home button, you can touch it and it will still take you back to home screen.
I need to disable touch on FP scanner without denying unlock via FP scanner. I too would like to use pie controls if this can be achieved. @sacredsouls what PIE are you using? Rooted or stock?

Has anyone found a way to disable this button?
I'm in the verge of throwing my phone at an oncoming train in aggravation because of how frequently I hit that button in error

Nope, I gave up using PIE and I am just using the onscreen nav now.
I am using only the home button. Full screen real estate. So satisfying. I have no issues now that I've gotten used to it. Went back to my Pixel and the navbar method felt backward.
It's just muscle memory. Use the FPS and in just a few days, you'll be set. So long as you don't use other devices in between.
