Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone could point me to somewhere that tells me how to mod my softkey navigation keys myself. Almost all the flashable or custom files have the layout as stock but with the menu keys enabled - I want it so that the back and recents buttons are on opposite sides (back is used more often, so why not have it on a side easier to reach with your thumb?) and the menu buttons enabled but hidden.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all.
Ive been trying to find a way to re-enable the ICS 3 dot overflow menu in ICS enabled apps, because personally i like it better than the current CM9 method of long-pressing the home key. I was also looking for a way to remap the hardware keys at the bottom back to the way they are setup on sence roms. Its just a personal preference really.
Anyone have any insight onto this ?
In build.prop search the line
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Delete this one and reboot...after that 3dot menu is enabled.
Hi all developers!
I've recently enabled Navigation bar ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 ) in my note 2
However I found out the Dialer/Call log has an additional MENU BAR on top, blocking the view of some call logs thus quite ugly. I've tried changing DPI although the blocked call logs become "visible", the whole call log screen is somewhat ugly because of the stuff become smaller and not proportionate.
Also, I found out many other apps start showing "3 dot Menu" on the top right corner once I've enabled the Navigation bar. But I'm not interested in seeing all these, since I've my hardware Menu key working so I really don't need the additional MENU BAR or 3 dot menu.
Can anyone help me to get rid of 3 dot menu? I've been deep investigation on this from recompiling SystemUI.apk (which replaced the recent app soft button to menu button), but it's still not hiding the MENU BAR and 3 dot menu.
Recently I saw AOKP or AOSP ROM has this feature (Menu UI Overflow Toggle) I believe is what I'm looking for, can't be sure what it does until someone confirm this to me
The source code is here:
https://github.com/TeamSourcery/frameworks_base/commit/1477d1acc1303174aa1c23d28d64fb36d4268742
Anyone know how can I use the code above (where to modify and recompile my 4.1.2 rooted deodexed ROM) and remove the annoying 3 dot menu?
Many thanks your help is greatly appreciated!!!!!

Wrong section bud, this should be in QA or Themes
Whattup, fellow Phablet Users?
I have an idea I'd like to work on, concerning the Navbar in Touchwiz ROMs. If anyone has an insight they can lend, it's highly appreciated!
To see any of the things I'm mentioning here:
- Download any Root Explorer
- Navigate to System>Build.prop
- add 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to the bottom of the Build.prop
- Reboot device!
- To remove the Navbar, just erase 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' from the Build.prop and reboot again
First off - Can buttons in the Dialer be resized? To be specific, when the Navbar is activated in a Touchwiz ROM, instead of flushing together--as in an AOSP ROM--the buttons in the Dialer are raised (also, the actionbar is revealed).
- For instance, when checking a voicemail, you'll see how the buttons overshoot the numeric keys. I'd like to shrink (flatten) the buttons a bit, so that when the Dialer is opened--and the navbar is active, the buttons will flush below the numeric keys.
Secondly, remaining on the Dialer/Contacts, the actionbar.
- It is only in the Call Logs that the actionbar poses a slight problem; it covers the 1st entry in the log. Now, is there a way to get the Call Log to sit nicely under the actionbar, just like shown in the Contacts? That's what I'm aiming for there.
Thirdly, the Camera. The Navbar covers part of the Camera buttons when active. Is there a way to raise the Camera UI to flush better with the Navbar (as in AOSP ROMs), or completely remove the Navbar when the Camera is active? For instance, at the Lockscreen, the Navbar is absent, even when activated.
These are my ideas! Again, if anyone has any insight on this, PLEASE SHARE!
Thanks, again!
Hi,
is there any way to config nav bar settings with LOS16 and BQ Auqaris X Pro?
I need menu button and want to use this with double click or long press for Home button?
any solution for this?
thanks for any hints and tips
got a tip otherwise: Button Mapper
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton
Am I right that this allows the mapping of the physical buttons but not that the nav bar is visible again? I didn't find a way to make it visible after switching to LOS.
I using free version of button mapper only and only for emulating the missing HOME button
this works
I do not know an option for making nav bar visible again
Hello,
does anybody found a way to enable the input method switch in the navbar like on AOSP?
LG only gives the input switch notification though the button in the right corner of the navbar was way better for switching keyboards fastly.
Tried to recreate the button via Tasker but unfortunately that doesn't work.
Thanks in advance ?
