Even though there is a tutorial that has been posted on this before, it is somewhat old and buried.
THIS DOES WORK ON ALL BUILDS OF TW BASED JELLYBEAN
You will need to do a few things before we start.
1. Go HERE and download the latest version of LMT Launcher. It would do you justice to also read that thread to understand the installation and setup process for the Pie Controls. Do all of that and then move on to step 2.
2. Grab this file and place it on either your external or internal SD card.
3. On your device, use any root filemanager of your choice (i.e. ES File Explorer, Root File Explorer, etc.) Find the Generic.kl file I included and copy it. Navigate to system/usr/keylayout and change the file called "Generic.kl" to "Generic.kl.bak" (DO NOT DELETE IT) then paste the Generic.kl file that you copied.
4. Go back to home and then go to Settings/Display/Touch Key Light Duration and select Always off.
5.Reboot your device and enjoy.
Credits go to DEF3NDER: If you want navbar softkeys instead of pie.

Thanks Jdsingle76 for the find.
If you want a pretty awesome action bar, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198
Thanks to MrBIMC for making this possible.
Also, thanks to Mattix724. Just because I believe he had something to do with something here originally.
Wow, that was fast. Or as my NE buddies say, "wicked fast.". Thanks for this. I'll have to tinker with this when I get home. And thanks to Mattix and DEF3NDER as well. Awesome. :beer: all around

All went great but I can't find the link for navbar/soft keys that DEF3NDER references that Mattix724 put together. The pie control is really cool aesthetically, but I think I would prefer keys displayed all the time. Any idea where I can find them? Guide worked perfectly btw. Thanks again.

Awesome DEF3NDER. Just got a PM from Mattix724 this morning with this as well. I'll give it a go and let you know how it works out.
Edit-works great. And I took a screenshot with the power and vol down button as well. Question. When I'm on xda app, a menu button appears. Is there anyway to have that on all the time? Basically a virtual set of the cap keys, up, all the time? Thanks for this, very cool and SO easy.
Edit(again). Holy freaking crap Batman. Nevermind. I just noticed, that on every page, app, I pull up, except for the home page, the menu for that app is already in the top right corner. Oh, DEF3NDER, very cool brother, very cool indeed. Hat's off. You have changed my entire E4GT experience. Freaking awesome work man! :beer::beer::beer::beer:

Actually, no. It doesn't locate itself, so I'm not able to use camera as is. Downloaded after market camera to use in the mean time, but really like the camera that came with jv. Lowering the dpi sounds like a viable option. I'll look into it this evening. Thanks for the idea DEF3NDER.

Hi,
Is there any way to enable on screen buttons on note 2 ? I just need back and home button on it.
Thanks
Not at the moment. you can edit build.prop but things get all messed up.
Just download button savior for now. I have it setup where back and home pops out of the left side and goes bck in withiin a second once used. very convenient and minimal. Doesn't take up much space like all the other wannabe button apps.

You can I do its throws a couple of things out of wack. Tw launcher. I use apex though. The camera, cuts of half of the shoot button and the diailer also call log your last call ........ im used to it the buttons are of more help to me then the problems are trouble...." qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"

Not sure why anyone would want to edit the build.prop, it messes up all the dimensions. Here is a pic of what i am talking about. Button Savior simple clean and works. Everything is configurable, from button locations, size, numbers of them, how long before it goes away etc ..
I have the At&t version of Optimus G E970, I think this will work for any Optimus G.

This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen buttons) , its very simple and easy...
To edit build.prop, on root explorer navigate to system press and hold on build.prop and open in text editor.
Add the following line at the end of build.prop file
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4
To disable hardware keys, I used root explorer go to system/usr/keylayout click and hold on kaypad.nl and choose from menu open in text editor and 139,158,172 edit the home to hom and do the same on all 3 lines and hit save and reboot,
Plus I went and deleted all the 139, 158, 172 lines from external_kbd.kl, Generic.kl, MHLRCP.kl, osp3-input.kl and qwerty.kl. I dont know if that helps because I deleted them first then edited the lines in kaypad.nl.

The easiest way to disable the default navigation buttons is by going to
system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl When you open the file you'll find
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
add a # in the begging of each one like
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
#key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
Reboot and they should be disabled, but the buttons still light up. To fix this go the settings/display/front key light Then uncheck
Turn on Front Key Light.

Odd, when I do this I cant pull the notification bar down ad the notifications show. It still shows the icons in the top bar. but not when I pull it down?
Also noticed that when I reboot my phone the first notification I get shows up normally, then they stop showing. It notifys me and everything, just cant pull down the blind to access them.
Also noticed that my menu button isnt integrated with the menu bar at the bottom. Ideas on how to do this?

I can't answer the notification issue, but I believe for the menu button a lot of apps have a built in menu button (usually in an action bar on the top right) now that they display (it is more of a tablet display, but given the resolution it probably still shows up that way).
You can still get to the menu in apps right?

Yes you could remap keys in the sec/keylayout files. If you just want the same 4 but rearranged then just move the target around in the existing file. If you want other commands it'll be a bit more tricky since you'll need to locate the execution command for the new target which can involve decompiling the apk and searching the trigger word for the app you want called.

Thanks so much for this! I'm going to give this a shot. Not sure if it's really that useful/suits me, but it's always nice to have options.
I have been having some fun with this. Enabled the software keys, disabled the hardware keys, disable the back and menu button lights. Now it just looks like I have a sweet notification light area because you cant see those two buttons when they aren't lit up. I adjusted the pixel density all around to make is so I don't lose any app screen space.
The only issues I have are the icons on the launcher getting cut off on the bottom rows and the camera button is a little messed up, still usable, but there is a dedicated hardware button, so it doesn't really matter.
Now I just need to change the multitask button to a menu button and it will be pretty sweet!
there has to be an app that does this as well.

Why try to figure it out? As an app thats like 80kb and does a better job dude clearly that rom dev didnt want it to be best quality. You could have already taken a thousand of screenshots in perfect quality if you had just downloaded an app.
I don't understand you reason to use the built in service. Your not benefiting At all.

The reason why I want the built in is because the apps either put an icon on the screen or u have to use a shake movement for it which makes it bad since I'm always moving and the damn phone start taking screenshots if I find one that I could just merge it into the power menu or the screenshot combination buttons then yes it works For me

I honestly can't see a difference from the screenshots I take with the built in feature and the original screen. They look the same when viewed on my phone unless I send them thru the messaging app which compresses them.

See thats easy to fix. Dude in most apps give you the option to turn it off any other ways to do it. And when I try to take a screenshot with power menu it would hit pause on games and bring me to a menu. Unlike using an app where it doesnt have that issue.

My screen shots are crystal clear and as mentioned, they only get blurry when i try to send them due to compression

an app will not embed it to the power menu thats done within the ROM itself ask the Rom Dev to bake it in.
But an app like screenshot by Kastor Soft with the nexus icon for the app is really good.
