Hello people, someone know how to active the default Android back, home and recent apps buttons on my s4 mini with stock 4.2.2 ROM?
Thanks!
Same here
Well I've been trying to get this feature on too. But so far no luck!
Here is what I've been doing:
adding in
/system/build.prop
the line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Then reboot and all I got is repeated alerts of System UI crash
With no status bar showing.

So I am trying to figure out a way to hide the main menu bar (from SystemUI) on my G9 101. I am running ICS 4.0.4 rooted.
I noticed that the startup wizard is able to control the availablity of the home button and recent apps button. The back button is still visible, but it seems like the wizard takes control of what it does.
So I disasembled settings.apk and settings.odex to try and figure out how this is done. It seems like a call to:
Code:
view.setSystemUiVisibility(20905984);
is the code that makes this work. I inserted that into my application, but did not get the same result. Any body have any ideas as to how I can make this work in my application? Is there a way to grant the same capabilities to my code that the settings.apk has? Do I need to install my application in some other location?
Any other ideas how I can use the setup wizard as some way to launch my application without having the systemui elements?
Thanks!
Now that the source is out - does this mean I (or someone) will be able to do this more easily?
Thanks
ICS source code is out for quite some time. BUT this doesn't include Archos specific changes (like 3G stick support etc)
This is likely appropriate for the SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 7 thread, but with my being new herein, I can't post in the dev forums yet...
Device Vitals: Sprint GS3 (SPH-L710), running SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 7, and Nova Launcher Prime 2.1.1
Issue: Status Bar is force auto-hiding on launcher home pages even with notifications therein. Does pull-down and otherwise function as expected.
Comments:
Verified that Expanded Desktop is not selected in power menu
Verified that Status Bar is not set to auto-hide in: System Settings | Interface | Status Bar
Status Bar does show on all other screens - Lock, Settings, in apps, etc. - it just auto-hides on the home screen when I believe it shouldn't
Problem seems to have shown-up after installing the Firefox full-screen plugin or when I was fracking around to get Photosphere functional
I have tried various iterations of trying to get things synced back up, if it is a settings sync issue (including booting safe and making settings changes therein (not honored then, either), uninstalling firefox, etc.)
I have back-ups and am willing and able to do a fresh reflash of the ROM/add-ons, etc. However, I'd like to avoid same, as the inevitable tweaking needed to get various apps functioning as I desire is pretty time consuming - ~4-6hrs I am guessing.
I am wondering if there is a script I can run, or some other means of forcibly resetting the OS to not auto-hide the Status Bar, and start honoring the settings asserted in the System Settings UI. It feels like a simple toggle got out of sync somewhere, or something else equally benign, but I am not a dev, and only a hack scripter (x86), so I don't know what I don't know.
I'd hate to have to reflash and reconfig when a simple manual edit/script can possibly resolve.
Can anyone offer any assistance, please? TIA.

It was a bad Launcher profile. I reflashed the ROM, and restored all apps, to no avail. I restored an earlier backup of the Launcher and the issue was resolved.
Who effin knew... Ugh.

I still can't post in developer threads so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.
There are some issues with the AOSP rom and with Paranoid Android by surdu_petru.
AOSP - It has that KitKat "feature" where apps can't write data to the SD card. This means that you cant download from your browser, do backups and use custom camera apps etc. The issue might be in the etc folder inside the permissions.xml file. Also when using the switches in the status bar (notifications/switches) you can see a bit of jerkiness.
Paranoid Android - There is auto rotation on the lock screen which tends to slash the cover art when playing music and it's slow, honestly it would be better to have a switch in settings or lock it in portrait permanently. Also there is the issue when the status bar icons "drop" when another menu opens and go back up when you close it (i.e. long press + widgets). The same issues persist in OmniRom.
Is there any way to fix these? Editing permissions doesn't work and I don't know how to fix the "drop" issue in Omni.
Hey everyone,
I'm trying some new ROMs and I am missing one important thing from stock: A button to pull down the settings and notifications menu in the navigation bar. My hand isn't big enough to use the whole screen single-handedly. This is possible in the stock ROM, but I haven't found a solution for custom ROMs.
In Nougat you can change your navigation bar, but out of the hundreds of commands there is no one that fits my needs. Any ideas?
Thanks!

After the jelly bean 4.3 update and the kit kat 4.4 update for the at&t Samsung galaxy s3, you may have noticed some toggles missing from the drop down notifications menu. I'm going to tell you how to add them in without having to change any system file(s) and without root!
Tools needed
An at&t Samsung galaxy s3 running on 100% stock (should work on all variants as well as any other Samsung phone running Android 4.3 or higher)
The quick panel manager app (check the play store)
Root -OPTIONAL- not required
Some patience
After installing the quick panel manager app, open it and push edit at the top right. You will see your current toggles in text form. To add a toggle type the toggle name followed by a ; then hit save. For example to add mobile data you would type: MobileData;
Note the capital and lower case letters! These are important to it working right!
You're done! You should now have the toggle you added given your phone supports it.
BUGS
The only things that do not really work are air gesture, smart pause, and WiFi calling. Everything else should work fine.
I have attached screenshots of my toggles and quick panel manager app for reference.
HAPPY MODDING!
