Hello all! I was wondering if its possible to modify the software to add controls to turn the touch sensitive buttons off and on? Maybe a widget? It seems I am always touching them and knocking myself out of apps. Maybe even remapping the sleep/power button to home instead of sleep and deactivating the buttons all together?
Hi,
I'd be interested in this also!!

Hi All
I've been looking in to locking down an Athena and taking control / disabling all the hardware buttons. I can disable most of them in Start->Settings->Buttons. The ones I am having particular trouble with are the OK and Windows buttons to the left of the screen. I have trawled the registry and am yet to come up any answers on how to do this. Does anyone know where the registry keys may exist to do this?
Cheers

I'm curious why you would want to take away such a useful things away. Currently I use all the hardware button and wish there are more available. I use it for things such as changing SIP, rotate screen, start IGO, and control myp3 (such as volume up, volume down, next song,previous song,blank out screen, bring up the playlist,pause, unpause. This is while the device remains inside my belt pouch). The ok button is extremely useful in doing things such as hiding the phone application after use. Similarly if you're using program such as VITO fun contact, you could hide it after use without having to exit this extremely memory tiny application and able to instantly access your contact again anytime. Why would you want to disable all these useful features?
AEBPlus free version will disable all buttons

But I agree, unless you're developing an app that comandeers the buttons, why reduce functionality? You can lock the buttons while the unit is off. ???
Hi guys,
anyone know a way how to disable the touch keys ?
i use the keys on-screen in lollipop and find those touch keys only annoying.
I also would like to change the behavior of the hardware home button.
any ideas?
I've done all these on Kitkat CM11...
So there should be a way..
I'm eager to know as well...
Does anyone know how to use Tasker to toggle onscreen NavBar? And... On a related question... Does anyone know how to have the capacitive keys and NavBar functional at the same time?
Many thanks!
Thanks for all your help over the years folks. I have a predicament of my own to solve now.
My S7 Edge SM-G395F has had some minor water damage, the only thing that seems affected is the capacitive 'back' and 'recent apps' buttons. Not working at all, and I've gone through all the possible standard fixes (hard reset, safe mode, factory reset).
I was wondering if anyone has managed to fine a way through roms, hacks etc to move these buttons above the originals and home button. I'm using an app to have floating buttons at the moment but no matter where I put them they get in the way, and repair is beyond my price range now.
So looking for a way to keep my phone more functional by adding a bar above a the home button permanently to use these close to the originals in a dedicated space and losing a little space from the screen itself.
Happy with room/flashing etc, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
my buttons work fine but I always use an app called GMD Gesture Control to use gestures instead of tapping back and recent keys. the app doesn't have a navigation bar so it will not take the bottom part of the screen.
just download the pro version, not the lite one, and you'll find it the best app for replacing your broken keys' behavior.
Hello guys,
Having problem with the on screen menu - back and navi keys. I got used to old order. Now I am having difficulty to use the phone.
Could you please tell me where is the settings for changing the order of the virtual on screen keys?
Thanks.
