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.

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.

Not sure if it is just mine, however the reasonwhy the GVoice is listedthat way because on mine it tries to set up Gmail and when skip is hit it freezes. It will allow you to text, however only through contacts and will not let you read them for some reason.
Been looking into it all night.

Sounds cool, can't wait till I can give it a try during class tonight!
i have been talking to him, however when you theme does it make you sign into your account again when you go to the market or is this just me?
I went to extract the file and it notified me that there are duplicate files, name wise, in the \New folder\RedAndBlue\3g\stock area both labeled framework-res.apk. How exactly you got it to name two files the exact same i dont know, but this may be an issue that is causing troubles that some are having with the particular theme
Hmm found a bug I believe. In the sounds area when I click Get Installed Sounds it starts CMD , starts the daemon wityhout really doing anything aparant. If you try to click it again I get an error saying "Error; The same variable cannot be used for more than one control. The current thread will exit. Specifically vDevSounds Line#162: GUI,Add,ListBox, x600, y113, w260, h500 vDevSounds, %formated%"
Also the application is not work AT ALL for me. I have my Xoom in debug mode but whenever I click a button in pimp it flashes a few CMD windows real fast then sits there. I reboot and nothing has changed.

Try deleting it and really downloading the program.
I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

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.

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.

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.

Hi there.
I've just updated my z1c from 4.4 to 5.1.1 and everything is fine with it...
I just have few things to ask for:
1) it seems that app icons on home are bigger than in KK. Isn't it? If yes, is there a way to make them smaller, with gravity box or other mods?
2) while watching videos or photos in full screen mode on facebook, chrome and other apps, status and navigation bars don't disappear. I remember that before updating they did, but i don't remember if it was due to some function of GB or other mods. What do you think about it? Is there anything i could do to make it happen?
3) which sound mod could you advise for a volume increse with minimum quality loss?
Thank you so much, hope my english isn't too bad.

Stagefright fix, ultra stamina mode.
Probably other things, but this is what's new IMHO.
If you update, be ready to deal with less battery (but the gap isn't that huge).

I meant less battery life in normal mode of course
I guess it should be at least one week with USM enabled, this could be an interesting test btw !
About Stagefright, I don't think you even need to downoad it, only to receive it !
https://youtu.be/PxQc5gOHnKs
Yep man, you're completely right!
But it's enough disabling "auto-retrieve MMS option" (that is in every reliable messaging app, like Google's Messenger) to make stragefright bug completely harmless
As regards USM... well, if it actually extends battery life to one week, maybe I have to revalue the update. Has anyone tested it? I guess there's no porting on KK because it relies on "Ultra power safe mode" introduced with LP, am I right?

Hard to say... I don't see nothing really better.
Maybe i like layouts and some aspect of lp more then in kk, but for others is exactly the opposite.
The system seems faster, but it's still hard to say because i was on the same rom since One year and now i've a total wipe. Battery life is worst, but not too much. USM is fantastic, but I use it only if i have low battery without the possibility of charging for long time, because you can use only few functions with it.
Maybe i'd do the update again if i could come back (surely with root), but without any strong reason.
Hope This helped you.
"Transform into" and Auto shape options in S-Note suddenly gone after 5.1.1 update
Hi, just updated my device to the latest 5.1.1 Android version,
and for some peculiar reason, some features in the S-Note app are suddenly gone,
such as the "transform into" option that was extremely useful to me.
Done some googling and saw that the app used to have an extension pack option,
though nothing like that exists now in the app.
Any sort of help would be much appreciated.

This cannot be. I just updated my device to the latest android version 5.1.1 as you did yourself. I am able to have every feature i used to in the previous android version including the "transform into". When you are taking note on top of the S note app there's a "bar" with features such as pencil, eraser etc. Have you tried to extend this bar. If so; you'll see there's the tranform into button along with some other features. Try it out, let me know what happend.

When you are taking note on top of the S note app there's a "bar" with features such as pencil, eraser etc. Have you tried to extend this bar. If so; you'll see there's the tranform into button along with some other features. Try it out, let me know what happend.

Hi, the bar was already extended, and the only options i can recall are the basic ones, such as the pencil, eraser, the cloud thing (to select things with it), and that's about it. no transform into button, and also not where it was located before, after you select something with the lasso, the option is completely gone..
Would you please take a screenshot of the app and show the option?
I am 200% sure i've checked everything.
Unfortunately I already burned the Kitkat rom on my device so I can use these features again..
but if i am mistaken, and indeed missed it, I will update again.

Look at the screenshot and:
(1) Select the area you want to transform using the "cloud thing" you mention above; which's happens to be the lasso.
(2)You should be able to see a new bar like the one in the screenshot.
(3)Now, choose the second option (quadrangle thing) and it will ask you what tranform you want to operate, for instance math formula, text, shape, shape + text etc.
Hope I helped ya at all!!! :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Hi, I have just the same problem - after the update, all these 'transform into' features are gone. I am very upset, because this features were very useful to me too.

I really don't know what to do in order to aid you. Did you check out the screenshot. Is it different compared to your S note enviroment? Have you tried contacting samsung about the issue? If not, then give it a shot.

Just sent them a letter.
Annoying website.
Limits you to about 150 letters, and doesn't allow you to attach any text files.
Sent them a screenshot with my complaint.
Hoping to get a serious reply and not a "try a factory reset"/"address your local support" kind of response.

Sorry,
It doesn't work that way. Take a look at this.
The displayed menu simply doesn't have the "Transform into" option. It only displays : Properties, Cut, Copy and delete. Nothing more.
Any ideas on the net?
Thanks.

Solution found
For anyone still interested I found a solution.
It seems that for some strange reason and for some lucky owners like me the Andorid 5.1.1 update can render the S Note not fully operational (transform into missing). So I used the Smart Tutor app from Samsung and the tech guy told me thar after checking everything he found that the only way to correct the issue was to return the tablet to its factory settings (i.e: reset the tablet) .
So there it is. You have to restore the tablet to its original 5.1.1 state. Before starting BE CAREFUL , you have to backup your data (via google account, via samsung account and even better via the samsung's Smart switch app that's you call). Otherwise the reset will wipe out/delete all personal data.
So after doing you backup watch this video to perform the reset: youtube.com/watch?v=NDp_9mfBS98. There are similar videos on youtube so again your call. The process is quick.
Once you reset the tablet and restore your data you will have to do some adjusments but you will not lose data (if previously backed up).
Everything went as suppossed and now I have the S Note app fully operational.
