[Q] How do I enable softkeys on the American Zenfone 2 4GB RAM model? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried editing every build prop file in the system folder and it fails to add software buttons.

There are definitely apps on the Play Store that can superimpose softkeys on the screen at the bottom, if you really don't like the capacitive ones.

Funny enough I installed a softkeys app for rooted devices off the play store and it put my phone in a bootloop...looks like I'm going to have to flash the factory firmware.

I believe it edited the build prop so it was navigation buttons, not superimposed.
The reason I was trying to get the navigation buttons back by the way was because the capacitive stopped working.

It might be bootlooping because if you try to enable a feature (in the build prop) that isn't on the device (the actual system files), it can't boot up correctly.

That's most likely the case, I was just getting frustrated and installed the app without thinking, oh well.
I just want the navigation bar because, at least from my experience, most apps that superimpose the buttons are never the same. They won't appear at boot, interfere with the keyboard, and require a gesture to make them appear.

Doesnt gravity box have an option? Never tried it though.. just saying it might work.

i saw someone doing this but cant remeber where. Look in the develompent forum or in Google+ asus zenui beta development

I've been using this app for the last two years. I can highly recommend it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198

Install LP xposed, and LP gravity box, go to "navigation bar tweaks" and tick "master switch" "enable navigation bar" and soft reboot done =]

You have to edit the correct build.prop in /system/ that corresponds to your Zenfone 2 model.
If you have the same model as me (WW/64GB/4GB RAM/2.3GHz), you need to edit build.ze551.dual.2p3GHz.prop
If you look through my posting history, you'll see me offer a link to a guide on doing it, link also includes info on disabling the capacitive buttons. On mobile so can't look through myself. Cheers.

You could use one hand mode until you find a working one.

Yeah I actually found your thread prior to making this, but despite editing that specific modeled build prop, I did not see any results. It always deleted the line of code after I saved changes.

(APP) LMT launcher

Just tried LMT Launcher which works really well alongside the ones sense 5 launcher, it adds a lot of functionality which just works so well once your used to it and you set apps that you'll like.
Here is the link to the said app and i'm in no way affiliated with the development i just wanted to share something i'd found.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
for me to get it to work properly here the settings i activated, everything else is left at stock and i'm running the newest version.
Autostart - enabled
Gesture input - No known device yet
Activation area thickness - 40
ISA 11 - checked
then all your left with is what you want to set to your short cuts.
I haven't bothered with gestures but there are so many options it's insane.
Well done to the dev who made it, working well here
I love LMT. I used it on my Hercules, and soon as I rooted, I put it on my one. I love being able to launch everything and not having to clutter up my home screen. I never ventured into anything but the pie launcher, so I can't offer any help besides there.
Is there a way to have lmt launch the app gallery? Can't seem to find that option

You have to launch it as an activity. So go to activity, gallery, then choose the main launcher one. It's the second I believe.
I'm quite new to it m8, you'd be better off asking in the thread I've mentioned.

I have been using it for a while now and have had zero hiccups at all everything works as it should.
So weird, but I can't seem to get it to work at all. I'm very familiar with the app, having used it on the last couple of phones through multiple roms. I've tried 2 different Sense roms and 2 different AOSP based, with no luck. Everything starts and stops like it should, it just won't activate when I swipe across the area. Ah well, nature of the beast, I guess. I'll keep messing with it...
YouTube app launch
I recently got my HTC One and unlocked bootloader/rooted.
Installed LMT launcher so I could get the Pie Controls - they look awesome and keep my homescreen clean.
So far so good, I've set all 10 pie segments to launch apps.
All of them work, except for YouTube.
Tried assigning it to various different pie segments but never works.
All other apps launch successfully so not sure why YouTube won't.
I've not got a high enough post count yet to post on the main LMT thread posted by the OP so hoping one of you guys might know why this is happening... Or if anyone else has YouTube launching successfully via LMT Pie Controls.
Cheers

You need to launch it as an activity instead of the app. It's the second option on the YouTube activity list.

Hi guys.
I have LMT included in my ROM for HTC One. I made a video on how to configure it. hope this helps you
The video is recorded on a Nexus 10, but the idea is the same.
I loved using PIE/LMT on my Nexus 4. I wish we didn't have the hard nav bar on our One. That extra space looked awesome on the N4.

can gestures use on one?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
LMT is great on the One, especially with that huge HTC logo
The only downside is that you still need to be able to assign one of the buttons to menu to get rid of the three dot bar in apps like facebook. If you don't do that then the three dot menu bar gets in the way of LMT and you can't use from the bottom in those apps
As a little workaround on 4.2.2 to keep a long press on home for Google Now, I am using Paul's Xposed mod designed for 4.1.2 and assigning a long press of the back button to menu. Long press for menu doesn't work on 4.2.2 roms, but it still gets rid of the annoying three dot menu bar.
Another quick tip:
To get one of the pie segments to turn off the screen, use keycode 26 in Advanced Commands: Key
That saves a lot of finger acrobatics to get up to the top of the phone. Along with the volume buttons to wake this is great for anyone with small fingers
Any idea how to get the Dialer to come up? I've tried everything I can think of to no avail.

Just an FYI for anyone with a HTC One (M7) that wants to use LMT to call up the APM (Simulate long press power button) this is the script code to use:

sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 0 0
sleep 1

The main LMT thread has mostly Nexus and Galaxy events so it took me a little time to find this out for the One.
Hopefully this post will help anyone searching for LMT Power Menu script on the One.

[Q] Edge screen panels

I know its early days and not many people have a Note Edge yet. I really hope someone can help me out on this when they do?
My Note Edge (Korean model), does not have the Twitter, Yahoo sports ticker or the yahoo news panels. This is very frustrating because I was really looking forward to these. I wonder once its available in the US, if someone would be able to extract these panels from their roms somehow?
Im stuck with some panels showing Koren information from a source called Daum.
By the way, there's a new panel available for download - its for the S Planner, I love it! It shows upcoming appointments. Only downside is that it will only show appointment the day.
Same boat. In Korea... Daum ticker.
Hopefully something changes
Yeah, waiting for something to change soon. :fingers-crossed:
Well i have my phone but the problem now is root.
I wont be able to pull the ticker from my phone without rooting it first. I would try to note 4 method but i dont wanna be the first to try it lol.

Thanks for even considering, mate. I wouldn't expect you to start messing with a phone you just purchased for huge amount of money.
I might try to root mine if there are some step by instructions. I am just not very familiar with rooting since I haven't done one for ages.

Ok root explore has access to the system, but its in read only mode. So i can copy that, just not sure what the edge panel apk is called. Ill check it out later on tonight and see if i can find something
Then maybe for the time being it can resign it and able you to install it as a apk vs system apk.
Not sure its been a while since i done that.

For what it's worth when I had the Docomo version of the edge I rooted via some Japanese dev sites that got it done very quickly. And to add custom recovery I was able to use my own tmobile TWRP file and it added custom recovery no problem. So I'm sure it's a very similar process because they basically same sans the edge screen

i have a korean 915k anyone knows how to delete those korean panel ?
The G3 had a secret menu that allowed you to change some build.prop properties or with an editor. You could simply allow dual screen on all apps which isn't allowed stock.
I edited a lot of the G3 environment through build.prop. Is there something similar for Samsung devices? Not sure if it's on all devices or not.

Not sure about deleting unless you have root access.
I am not rooted yet. I have disabled these panels in my 915S.
The apk you need to disable is 'portalservicewidget' this under the application manager > All.
If you want to disable the useless quick access panel than disable the Live UX apk.

Official tmo d851 stock lp q&a thread

I am starting this thread anticipating the release of LP to our device. As we all know with the new 5.x.x release there are some bugs and new ways we have to mod things, most especially Xposed and the modules we use for our G3. I want this to be a place where you can ask questions, post information, and assist with anything TMo LP related.
Please no arguing and no conspiracy theories. I hope that with everyone playing nice and helping others, this can serve as a central hub of knowledge for our device running stock LP
@autoprime has already released a flashable unofficial system and boot image here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/stock-lg-d851-20b-t3062164
Please read it thoroughly!!
There is also a new root method, as many know, for Lg devices that is now available in a oneclick method. For those that don't want to flash the official rom through twrp when both become available this is for you,,

Remember this is mainly an information thread so please read as much as possible before asking a new question. If you don't have a somewhat helpful answer please don't reply. If you don't have a somewhat logical question please don't ask. We are here to help eachother
Don't know about the G3 although it should be fine, but Viper4android is working on LP. I installed it on my step son's N4..

Keep up the great work. Let me know if you need help testing. I don't mind pre-alpha or the risk of boot-looping in the name of improving your awesome App.
Overall works great but a few bugs.
What doesn't work / not work correctly--- indicated what isn't
Every change needs a reboot
Any change breaks custom Navbar/SoftKeys (until rebooted)
Quick Settings Panel color impossible to match to the color above it (the colored bar with the settings, clear and clock in it, not the status bar)
Advanced Power Menu shows up but missing reboot options despite 4 way setting being enabled. Screenshot option doesn't do anything.
Remove Knock Code String
Hide Carrier Text (Unlock Screen)
Bigger Call Picture
AOSP Clear All Button
Restore the Menu Button, it does restore the menu button but it doesn't change the icon in the stock settings anymore, still shows as Q-Slide or something like that

Yeah I think the only way to switch profiles is still through guest mode(not like other LP devices) so nothing there has changed.. I'm doing fine with data and wifi, issue I have is starting this morning I couldn't turn BT on from the statusbar toggle until I rebooted. I clean installed and started everything over too.
Plus so far battery seems a little worse..which has been reported across the board on G3's running stock LP
How To Get Viper4Android Working On 5.0.1 D851 (My Experience)
As the title states this is how you can get Viper4Android soundmod working.
·Download and install the Viper apk for 4.4/5.x you can choose version 2.3.3 or 2.3.4(I have a modded version called Lolliviper) (Not my work, you can google it).
·Download and install SELinux mode changer from the Playstore.
·Open Developer options under system settings and uncheck "Use NuPlayer".
·Open SELinux mode changer app and change to permissive.
·Open Viper and install your prefered driver (I use Superior quality).
·Reboot
·Upon reboot make sure SELinux is still set to permissive.
·Open Viper and enable.
·Open your music app and select a song.
·Open Viper select menu and the driver status. You should have all YES.
I have tested this on Google Music and the stock player. There are a lot of guides out there for this. Most suggest flashing libs and build prop tweaks. None of that was necessary for me. This is the exact way I set it up.

The only way I see enabling them is by enabling One Hand Mode. Of course the screen size is reduced then. With root it may be possible.
If rooted, you can try this:

There are also a few 3rd party apps that may help on Play.
Maybe it is worth buying this phone if I can fully disable the capacative buttons. Root is something I always acquire so that wouldn't be an issue. Exciting!

This works with JB and KK. Not sure about LP and ZenUI. I can give it a try for you.
Soft keys are a go, adding 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to build.prop.
Couldn't get capacitive buttons to disable though. Edited both generic.kl and ***asus***.kl, but they stayed enabled. Not sure if further fiddling could get it accomplished or not.

In order to disable those annoying you need to edit "system/usr/keylayout/ftxxxx_ts.kl" rather than formers... As you know commenting those lines :
# key 158 BACK WAKE VIRTUAL
# key 102 HOME WAKE VIRTUAL
# key 139 APP_SWITCH WAKE VIRTUAL

Should be if it's the 2.3GHz version (which I think all 4GB RAM builds are).
Give it a shot. Worst case scenario... Nothing happens and you try a different prop.

adding qemu.hd.mainkeys=0 is not showing any keys, i have a ZE551 model, and editing the build.prop is not doing anything

never hide softkeys

Hi,
i've tried to do a few searches but can't find anything about SHOWING the soft keys all the time.
See the thing is, this phone is for the mother-in-law and she's 71 so it needs to be as simple as possible. She wants to play games like temple run but doesn't understand the concept of swipe the top to get the home button to show up so I'd like to have the bottom bar always visible, even in immersive mode.
Any ideas please?
Cheers
I should probably include that it's stock 14.6.A.0.368 (this probably needs updating, but I'm looking for how to do that at the moment and confusing myself lol) and is rooted.
Xposed module 'App Settings' - go to the app you want, full-screen>prevent. I think you have to do it for each one. You probably can force it across the board with build prop, but I think the other way is best.
I can cope with that... Is there an easy guide for my firmware version to install xposed? I don't want to brick it again lol
Cheers

Flash this in recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3580244&d=1450386592 Then install this apk - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440 Then open Xposed app and go to 'download' and search for 'app settings'. Note that the first boot after flashing the zip will be long and finish with 'optimizing apps' dialog, which will take several minutes. Make sure your battery level is good.
Always a good idea to backup first.

Oh yeah, and any time you install a new module in Xposed, it won't be active until you reboot.
Absolutely smashing, thanks. I've flashed the zip and now I'm waiting for it to load up, then I'll install the apk and find the module.
Cheers
Unfortunately that didn't work Things like Temple Run still go full screen and the navigation bar disappears.

Strange... Is the module working in general? Did you check the box in 'modules' screen in Xposed? I tested it on several apps and it was good...
I don't think so... It's ticked and I've rebooted and all that. The Adblocker module I found is working fine. Strange.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Any suggestions please? lol!! It's winding me up big time :/

Did you find the right options OK in the 'app settings' app, (full screen>always)?
Yeah, the options are there but no go.
Apologies for the delay. I've been away for the weekend.

This will do it for $1.50 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lay&pcampaignid=APPU_1_0GClVp_MDoTW-QHV-ZyYBA
Are you sure? Reading the description that seems to do the opposite to what I want?
I want the navigation bar to be visible even in full screen mode. The girlfriend's mum can't grasp the concept of swipe to show the navigation and she keeps forgetting when we tell her, so by having it always visible we remove that obstacle

There's a 'blacklist' function which you can apply to chosen apps. I can't say if it will work on your specific game or not. The Xoosed module I mentioned works great for me with Camera, but I guess it didn't work for your game. I think with play store you can return a purchase within 15 minutes or something...
Don't know how I missed that. I'll give it a bash, Many thanks!
That didn't work either unfortunately

Well, after some reading, it seems clear that it is coded into the programming, and you'd have to rewrite the ROM to entirely disable it. From app to app, you probably could decompile and mod the apk so it doesn't call on the function. I did read that Gravity Box from Xposed has an immersive mode toggle, but I can't test it, since GB doesn't work on CM ROM. Check that out.
Thanks for your help so far. I tried GB but it didn't work either. Bloody annoying.
Perhaps another approach would be double tap the power switch to return home? Do you know if something like this exists please?
Thanks again for all the input and suggestions so far.

Hey I just discovered UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar). Install it, go to ssettings>general>special modes. Check 'toggle mode' and uncheck 'hide on outside touch'. The navbar will never go away. The only problem is that it sits Right there over anything else, blocking whatever you might want to touch down there, so maybe not a total fix. How eve, there's also more configurations you can mess with that might at least be an improvement.

I think I tried that as well, but like you say, it gets in the way. It got in the way and I didn't look any more into it. I'll give it a go and look more at it when I get home from work. Cheers.
