The note 4 had the ability to have movable on screen nav buttons, can't seem to find this function on the 5.
Anyone know where they are, or did they deep six them?

I really like this S pen but is there anyway to get it to work on the back button and the menu button. I find it very annoying I have to use my finger on those 2 butons rather that te s pen.
Any ideas?
Thanks
There are quick commands you can use on the screen to simulate those buttons.
While holding down the button on the S-Pen, draw
"<" to simulate back
"^" to simulate menu

On your phone, go to Settings -> S Pen -> S Pen help -> Gesture
All the S-pen gestures are listed there.

The concept of having a hard Home button is a joke. Just make it the same like the others. But, I've never liked the capacitive buttons either for the problem you are mentioning. The gesture shortcuts help, but it's just a workaround for the problem.

^^ This and you can make your own gestures as well.....
You can enable the on screen soft menu. You have to add a line in system/build.prop. You have to be rooted.

Buy the app
Gmd spen root.
You can make any gesture you would like for back or menu or home. I have even enabled an option so i dont have to push that annoying button on the s pen for back and menu. Google gmd spen root note 2 and there is a free 2 day trial. After the trial i immediately bought the app.
EDIT

You can also activate the menu and back buttons by holding the S-pen button in, pressing the S-Pen on the screen and dragging down just above the buttons
Thank Enrique Huerte on G+ for that secret maneuver.

Does anybody know if its possible to program the home so a double tap brings up messaging and a long press brings up Google now? If so how could I do that?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
If you are running stock TW then the short answer would be no. If you are using a custom launcher like Apex or Nova there are settings in the launcher behavior section where you can tweak to perform actions.
yeah, it's impossible on touchwiz,
I don't know about the customizability of the button on launchers, since i don't use them

If you hold down the menu button it'll bring up Google now. Unless you're in an app then it'll pop up the search engine. You're on your own on the messaging one tho lol. Double taping home takes you to S. Voice.

I have set up Pie Control to be a huge benefit for one handed use of the Note II, putting the hard to reach bottom buttons on the right and left sides of the screen. With this set up, I can hold the phone in either hand and not have to juggle the device around to hit the Menu, Home, Back, and Recent Apps and can also activate Voice Search in Google Now.
Here are my settings:
Autostart TouchService: Enabled
TouchService mode: pie
Set gesture input: 2
Add to pie blacklist: Added my games and other things that I touch the edge of the screen a lot with.
Activation area position: Left and right
Activation area thickness: 25
Longpress time: 1000
Animation time: 50
Pie Item 1: Home
Pie Item 1 long press: RecentApps
Pie item 2: Back
Pie item 2 longpress: RecentApps
Pie item 3: Menu
Pie item 4: SearchLongpress < This will instantly activate voice search or s voice
I'll give er a shot brotha. Thanks for this.

I like pie control. I have button one as home, button two as back, button 3 as recent apps, button four as menu and button 5 as app drawer.
The bad thing is the app drawer is pie controls app drawer so it's really leggy when scrolling through apps. I don't see a way through Pie control setting to change to the system app drawer.
On level two I have a few apps like Tapatalk, browser and messaging app. When you select the apps there is a one or two second delay before the app opens. Not sure why..

After it's enabled, you have to start it. Once started, you should see the bars on the sides. Try a lighter color wallpaper if you don't see it.

After selecting something, it takes a little bit to start back. Mine seems to work fine unless I activate it quick and then try to use it again immediately afterward. Maybe it's the apps or actions that you are using that could cause the delay. Just a thought.
I have been unable to make this work on my note 2 from sprint plus it forces close. What do I need to do here I have tried everything that was suggested but it still does not work.
Could someone please tell me how to activate this feature on the Note 2? I did it once a long time ago but now I can't remember how to do it. Swiping isn't doing anything.
This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen

Warring: if you mess something dont blame me.
Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4
Much easier to use the recent and home.
And more comfortable for the thumb

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.

Hi,
I am playing a game which I need to take large amounts of screen shots.
I don't want to break the power and volume buttons. Is there a way to take screen shots with some gesture or soft button on Nexus 7 2013?

You can assign a gesture in Nova to open the ScreenshotIt app, then either take the screenshot, or, activate the overlay screenshot button, go to the desired screen, and snap.
