On-Screen Navigation Keys - Droid Ultra General

I want to enable on-screen navigation keys.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 does not work, it doesn't work on any moto that I know of. I have a moto x and a maxx, I've compared build.prop files and don't see anything promising. Does someone know if we have to deodex and modify framework to accomplish this?
UPDATE:
I went as far as creating an xposed module that sets "config_showNavigationBar" to 'true' in \framework-res.apk\res\values\bools.xml. It is 'false' by default.
I know the module works because I set "config_camera_sound_forced" to 'true' and it does indeed force the camera shutter sound. No errors in xposed log.
Still, no on-screen navigation bar.
What the fraq?

By the way, I know this belongs in q&a and it will be moved, but it will probably get seen here more times in the amount of time it takes to get moved than it would be seen if it set in q&a for a week. Sorry, just focus on the op please.

sorry. i was going to post this along time ago but interest seemed a little low so i never got around to it

I've been using UDN Pro for this. Down side is that when the keys are enabled, your screen won't resize to account for the buttons.
I've always been dependent on the on screen navbar to multitask effectively. UDN allows you to add custom apps, but doesn't allow shortcuts (which is a bummer).
With such a large phone, the "back" button is awkwardly placed, which can be treacherous when operating one-handed...Just hoping that some ROMS come out soon that allow on screen navbar customization, so I don't drop my expensive dev edition.

Amazon Soft Key Bar Replacement + Recent Apps

Warning dont do this if you dont know what your doing or how to fix it if something goes wrong, and dont blame me for any Problems that happen to your kindle trying to use this method.
I tested and used this only on the 8.9 Kindle Fire HD and dont know what it will do on a 7, but since the forums are lacking forums for 8.9 (Where is the 8.9 Love?) I guess this is the next best place as it may work for the 7 also but my settings I recommend are for the 8.9 and probably not great for the 7.
I was looking for a way to get rid of the soft key bar that takes up screen space and is just another thing that I disslike about the stock Amazon Interface. I have not found a perfect replacement but I have found one that is pretty decent it is the LMT Launcher(required root) Other then a few visual glitches, like a gap on the right during the notification bar down, and a bar on the right when using key board.
Directions:
1.Download apk from post below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
2.Install apk in ES File explorer or whatever file program you use.
3. Download and install MoreRecent, if you want recent apps (since Kindle Fire HD is sorely lacking this)
morerecent Play store download link..
4. Run LMT app, Tap start/stop TouchService once, and set Autostart Touchservice enable
5. Setup Pie Control near the bottom of the Settings
Recommended settings by me:
Activation area position left and right
Activation area Thickness 5
Activation area Length 600
Long press time 1000
Animation time 0
Show status infos Disabled
6. Setup Pie Items
Recommended settings by me:
Level 1 for the pie Give you acress to search menu and recent apps using morerecent app, plus a way to kill all apps and go to home. This leaves all 4 of the long press items available for common used apps or anything you want!!
Pie item 1 App select MoreRecent
Pie Item 2 KillAllApps (will close active and go to Home screen) (or replace with your most used app)
pie Item 3 Menu
pie item 4 Search
Level 2 for the Pie Make so swipe downward from left or right will go back, and swipe upward will go back home.
Pie item 1 Home
Pie Item 2 Back
7. Test that it works well and does everything you like and i recommend to restart to make sure it starts up. Testing your most used apps is a good idea to make sure that you can just use the LMT and dont need the amazon Soft Key Bar
8. If everything is working great and their isnt any time that you wish need the amazon bar Load Titanium backup and back up Soft Key Bar then uninstall it, now restart and it should be gone once LMT loads you should have a more clean and easy to use replacement for the the amazon key bar! With alot more settings you can play with!
Let me know how this works for you!!
Yes, I am using LMT on my KFHD 7. I can confirm this works. Also, I forgot who made this, but I DID NOT, if you just add a line in build.prop in the system folder that says "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" and reboot, you kindle will get rid of the Amazon softkey bar.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 is already in the build.prop.... can't you just change the 0 to 1?
That worked in my case. I think I'll give this a trĂ½ since button savior annoys me for some reason.

I dont know for sure but I belive the app switcher is part of some system files, and I guess that amazon butchered those files..... Using Nova and running recent apps it will change the wall paper (very annoying) So I was forced to try to find another way to change and so far best option i can find is MoreRecent (GB style with more icons) But its kinda ugly with very large icons but at lest it works decently. Would be great if someone could get the stock ICS recent apps to work! (altho I would rather the devs work on a fully working version of cm 10.1).

miztah1999z,
This is slightly off, VERY Close!
What you want to do, is use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer with Superuser Permissions:
Step 1: Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer navigate to /system/ find build.prop - click on it and choose Text Editor.
Step 2: Scroll Down and find qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 it is about one half the way down the list below ro.sf.lcd.density=240 - Change the 0 to a 1. DO NOT add a second entry! When done the line should look like this:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd.density=240
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
ro.opengles.version=131072
Step 3: Reboot the Kindle
This is a well known edit, this tells Android to NOT display the Qemu Soft-key bar. We edit the soft-key bar all the time, changing the icons and the look of the bar. It is quite easy, you would use ADB to Pull /system/framework-res.apk then use apktools to decompile the apk. Once you decompile the APK you will find inside that one APK is all the Nav Bar icons, you can use a solid Graphics editor like Gimp to edit the icons and a solid XML Editor like IntellaJ IDEA to edit the icon functions. If you do not have an solid understanding of XML DO NOT attempt this edit, instead ask us to create a custom bar for your Kindle. If we get enough requests we will add the custom bars to our software.
We may be adding a few optional nav bars in our software next month. At the moment we are adding the Sony Xloud and Bravia options to the Settings menu so you are able to properly change the Sony Xloud and Bravia settings. Once we are done with the Sony project we will ask all of what YOU would like to have as an option. If you have any ideas please post them.
Put me down for a custom bar.

Dude... I'm all for it too if it had an autohide feature that truly did what we wanted. But after using LMT now for a while, I'm getting used to (and quite like ) having it appear wherever I want (like from the side).

Honestly, I have no idea what could be wrong with your LMT. :banghead:

Not sure Mine hasn't jammed yet. Possibly bad download or maybe try to clear data for LMT?
Finally got it to hang around. Very choppy (memory issue?). All I could manage to do was make a balloon fly & dandelion seeds float. Not near stoned enough to be impressed. Guess I'll have to find instructions.
Oh, forgot - something I did made a little fighter jet fly across the screen. That was kinda cool.

... You are after the launcher. Ah.....
Okay, I found it, LMT. Now why did I think it was part of MX launcher? Any way to keep it from disappearing the moment you take your stylus/finger/tentacle off it? If I wanted to play peek-a-boo, I got a friend with a 9 month old who's a champ at that.

Secondly, disabling the soft keys in this manner seems to effect the functionality of some apps, for example you loose the access to the settings menu in gplay, meaning you can't access the my apps menu. Wich Is something I like to use.
However. Moving the soft keys app out of system/app has its own negative effect of causing a gap when you pull down the notications and the bottom of the screen. Right now my keyboard is also floating the same distance, its as if its leaving the gap for the softkeys
Any ideas how to fix this while keeping access to the settings menu of gplay?

Which gplay exactly, and what where you doing?
I have made a few adjustments to how I have my Pie setup so level 1 pie has menu button(settings), Killallapps, Morerecent, and search, and home and back on the second pie level, so far my favorite setup as it leaves all the pies long press free to put in apps I use often. but the 2 buttons I use most home and back, are still a quick swipe away to be used. About the visual glitches in the keyboard and notifications That is above my ability, and so far its only visual so it doesn't bother me much.
I use button savior, which has a built-in app switch feature. Only 6 most recent apps are listed but is enough for me.

I have mine set up with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 and I have no problems with any apps. Perhaps it's because I also have set my dpi to 180. Lemme change some things and see if it affects gplay. I'll get back to this thread in a few.
So, the picture without the options is with the dpi set at 240. The next picture is with the settings @ 180 dpi. Both are with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1.
Hope this helps. If you need help changing your dpi, let me know.

Button remapper

Is there any way for me to remap the hardware keys on the S5? There's a really old app that does this floating around the forum, but it doesn't work for us on the S5. I tried editing a few system files too, but that didn't work either. Having the menu button replaced with the multitasking view is driving me crazy - I know I can long tap it for the menu function, but I'm just so used to having the menu button there. There's a few other things I'd like to do as well, like change GNow to come up when I double tap home, multitasking to come up when I long tap home, and change the multitasking button back to the menu button like it should be. Most importantly, I would also like to get rid of the 3 dot menu button that shows in most of the apps (like Chrome for example).
Any takers?
Supposedly the Xposed Additions will do most, if not all of what you need.
i'm actually trying to do this myself right now. you need to install XposedBridge first for the Additions to work.

Thanks, I'll take a look at GravityBox. On a side note, does anyone know of a possible alternative without using Xposed? Xposed is great, but in my experience, it makes the system just a bit more bogged down. It's not a serious impact, no, but I have had some stability and battery problems in the past. I'll probably go with GravityBox for now, but any other alternatives would be great
Thanks for the help though!
So.... I tried GravityBox, but unfortunately the hardware key options are very limited. I still couldn't get the regular menu button functionality back, as I only had long-press and double-tap options. Hopefully someone will come along soon and restore the menu button, because I can't be the only one who wants to see it back...

Hey guys... can someone point me to a guide? Xposed doesn't work on Lollipop yet. (If I am not mistaken) so I cannot use gravity box for it either.. How did you do it @BJSerpas ? On which version of Android?

Xposed is a framework that enables you to mod the system without manual hacks by installing .zip files for various functions. One of the more popular would be Sense Toolbox for HTC ROMs, or Xprivacy to give granular control over permissions and help prevent sensitive data from leaking. Search on the forum here and find the Xposed section. You'll find it informative.

Im running zulu's full android with xposed
One of the things im assuming only xposed easilly allows, is map various controller hardware keys, like wireless/wired mouse/keyboard/gamepads (note, ive only tested a wireless mouse wich has a few extra buttons, like backwards/forwards, but im pretty sure the others i listed should work) edit:mouse, cant remap left/right click, just one or two of the extra buttons my mouse happens to have
The modules called xposed additions, ive done some simple things for now, like mapping the backwards button on the mouse to, "press the home button", to take me directly to home screen, i click on the backward button once and it works as default by "pressing" the back, but with this module, you can remap different commands with long presses..........so click and let go = back button .....long click = home button......very nice...
If your a tasker user, you can remap hardware buttons to launch tasker shortcuts too......even nicer......many possibilities........iniating tasker tasks with remapped connected controller......directly.........i can imagine really cool stuff folks might be able to do with this, like home automated houses..............ive tested this really compact bluetooth media controller i have, which has buttons one to ten, quickly tested that i can map tasker shortcuts to each button..........possibillities maaaaaan
Only found this neat app because i had a need for it when setting up my shield

Software annoyances with Marshmallow/6P

I recently switched from a Droid Turbo to a 6P for the sole reason of I needed the unlocked radio abilities that the Nexus line offers and I was unable to obtain with other phones. (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx I have plenty of threads on this around). Aside from the Verizon bloat and added software, I loved that phone.
The Nexus 6P is a very good phone on it's own, aside from the size, but I am having a few adjustment issues that some of you might be able to help me out with. I've read that most switchers from the Droid line of phones are unhappy with the Nexus Active Display compared to the Moto version. Just curious if anybody has found a worthy software that has been able to replicate or was able to port the Moto Display over to the 6P? I would be very interested and even willing to shell out $ to help that progress. The Nexus version just seems so unfinished. It very rarely wakes up upon movement and I really enjoyed how I could just wave my hand near my Turbo and I would get the time and notifications.
But my biggest issue with the software of the 6P is the fact that the bottom navigation buttons are software based and do not stay put or visible at all times. I hold the device mostly with my left hand in landscape mode and it doesn't matter which way I am holding it (the top is to the right or left) the navigation buttons are on the right side. If they would just stay put where they are supposed to be, on the bottom of the phone, I could easily use this phone one handed in landscape mode. But I cannot currently. The second part of this issue is the immersive full screen mode where they keep making my navigation buttons disappear! Ok, the screen is big enough, I do not need that extra 4 mm of screen real estate. Leave the buttons visible so I can use them please. I hate the extra screen tap and then delay to be able to back out. The video player is even worse, only allowing a small x to be pressed to back out. I've tried Immersive Full Screen Mode and a few others including Power Toggle but none lock the immersive full screen off. So does anybody know of or have a remedy to lock the navigation buttons and keep them visible? I'm also of the apparent minority that prefers the notification bar to always be visible as well.
Thanks for any help offered.
You may have to wait till some custom roms hit the scene. Sounds like a rom with pie controls would be what you seek.
Yea I was afraid of that. I was hoping there was another secret menu out there that allows control of these features.
I am annoyed with the stock messaging app...does a decent job, however it always crashes when attempting to access through the app switcher. I hate having to go back to the home screen to access my text messages.

acDisplay worked pretty well on my HTC One.
Looks pretty good, but it disables my fingerprint security. With it on I can press the power button and gain access or just swipe up. If I use the built in lock screen, after unlocking with the fingerprint, it still gives the acdisplay lock screen. Perhaps it just needs a marshmallow update to work specifically with this phone. I will continue to monitor it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'd load Xposed with gravity box. Keeps you on AOSP and you'll have PIE, and many options for the nav bar alone.
How does one get this immersive display where the navigation buttons hide? I'm curious about this feature
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
It's built into the apps. The Google Photos app, any video playback, a lot of apps and games that I have automatically go into it. There's also plenty of apps, I mentioned one above, that you can install and get immersive all the time. Be aware though, I got myself into a bit of a jam as it removed the back and home buttons and I couldn't exit a certain app.

Navigation buttons issue

Hello all. Just yesterday my XT1575 started acting up, the navigation buttons - all three, Back, Home, Recents - are not working anymore. Initially, I thought it was a minor thing that could be sorted out with a reboot. I rebooted yet no show, still not working. I went to the extreme and did a factory reset, still no show. I fastbooted a fresh install, no show. I installed custom recovery and flashed a ROM, no show. But I made one discovery - in TWRP recovery the navigation buttons work just fine, and they are almost at the same location the main ones are on the phone screen when booted. This made me more skeptic if it was a hardware issue. As it is now I'm thinking of getting another screen to replace this one, but want to be sure this will fix the issue before shelling out more than $50 for a replacement screen.
Please all suggestions and advice is very welcome. I need to fix this. I love this phone. Thanks all.
maybe try to go to settings, enable dev options and then enable show touches

I also agree. Doing this will allow you to see if any key presses being registered when pressed in the affected spot.
Fix(?)...
OK. I stumbled on a fix, maybe a permanent fix, maybe not... I rooted with BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip directly flashed in TWRP recovery, no need messing with extracting anything and all those long steps in a related rooting thread. Flashed Xposed (xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip), installed XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk and after all this, installed Gravity module for Marshmallow. Go to Navigation bar tweaks in Gravity, activate master switch, enable navigation bar and scroll down and then increase the height and width of horizontal navigation bar to 124 or more (124 is the minimum for things to work again). And, voila... The navigation buttons work again. I hope this helps someone with this issue.

Go to Navigation bar tweaks in Gravity, activate master switch, enable navigation bar and scroll down and then increase the height and width of horizontal navigation bar to 124 or more (124 is the minimum for things to work again). And, voila... The navigation buttons work again. I hope this helps someone with this issue.

Hi im having the same issue. How did yours happen? Mine happened after dropping my phone. Also I enabled Show Touches in Dev Options and the pointer would only go to the top of the nav bar and not on it even though my finger is on the nav bar.
I had this exact same issue with my Moto X Style. I was not willing to spend anything on this 3 year old device. Looked around for solutions but none worked. Finally settled for a 3rd party app which floats on screen, but very annoying. Found a commnet on a Youtube video who asked to change the display setting and it worked.
Settings -> Display -> Display Size. Change it from Default to large, larger or largest. It worked for me when I set Large. Just wanted to share it here, so it might help someone desparate.
