Using the Gingerbread source, I compiled the code and loaded the ROM onto my Nexus One, but after starting the phone, the Home, Menu, Back, and Search buttons don't work anymore. Does anyone know how to resolve this error?

Hi, I recently replaced the screen on my Samsung Vibrant because the previous screen had broken. Unfortunately, I had mistakenly taken the sensors for the 4 main function buttons with my efforts. As such, I was wondering if anybody knew of an app that would replace these 4 function buttons through a software solution? Possibly an app that places them in the pull down menu as an ongoing program?
Interested in this as well. Although I do still have working volume keys, those could be mapped to one of the other functions. But I'll start a new thread on that elsewhere.
If there isn't an app, can anybody think of a workaround?
Today I did a software reset so I could let me fiance use my phone since it was a little better than her outdated Huwei. Upon rebooting the Home button no longer funtioned. It will still wake the screen however it does not function in any other way (so obviously its not a physical issue).
I was able to pull up the files to view the mapped buttons and even tried the app on xda for button remapping. However the crossover comes with an extra function button in the top left corner which doesn't function at all any more. This tells me that the mapping file was over written with an incompatible file. Possibly an issue with a wrong file being assigned after a software reset. Not quite sure.
What I would like to happen is to see if anyone else here has a Pantech Crossover and can simply send me there button assignment files.
Another issue I ran into after the reset was the notification bar (still shows at the top) is not draggable. I am not able to pull it down or even hit the "notifications" button under the menu when you hit the menu button from the home screen.
I am no noob to technology so feel free to ask for anything. If you have a crossover and are unsure on how to get those files please let me know and I will direct you. (Please already be rooted.. there are plenty of great guides on these forums on how to do this for both firmware versions available)
I have rooted phone with custom rom Paranoid Android(4.1.2) and stock kernel. I was wondering, before even ICS android version, I absolutely loved the default hardware search button(beside the menu and home key) where when you press it during web browsing, it will read as the search function to enter in a url instead of manually touching the screen to do it. Now after ICS I think when they implemented the new search key on our phones, it now brings up a new page from whatever we were doing before on the phone from gaming, to browsing or whatever, to the google page which imo has never once served a purpose for me to use.
How would I change this hardware function back to what it was before? When you can use the button to search on anything rather than bringing up the google page?

I have ran to the same problem, being used to being able to press the hardware search key, for example in the google play store app, to go to the search.
It is not that hard to press the on-screen search button in theory, but I have really got used to using the hardware key. Also it is kind of annoying, as the google now is not exactly the fastest thing loading on the NS, and it takes some time. Sometimes, when doing something else, I accidentally press the search button, and the I have to wait for it to load up before I can close it...
I don't know if ParanoidAndroid has button remapping, but if it doesn't, this will do.

Cheers.
I found it quite annoying too so I did some digging. I found this zip which restores in app search function. Simply flash this zip in recovery and you'll be able to search in apps using tge search button in jellybean roms.

Hi there,
my HTC One S (ville) fall down and the display was broken completely.
I bought myself a new a one and have build it in. While replacing the screen I screwed the Flex cable which is responsible for the hardware buttons at bottom (and the sound however).
I also got a new flex cable and replaced the old one.
1) Problem
When I restart my phone the buttons at the bottom work, until I get into lockscreen. After that they won't work anymore, I don't know why. (Only restart helps, again they work only until I got into lockscreen).
2) Workaround-Problem
So, as a workaround a decided to install CM10 to use the navigation bar (I set qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in prop.build before I flashed the rom).
Now I have the problem with the menu button. The 3-dot menu button shows up but has obviously no function. When I click on it nothing happens - I can't access any settings menu in apps.
I tried also Virtual Button App - either there the menu function does not do anything.
Of course I rooted my phone etc...
Is there something special with the HTC ONE S and the menu button function?
Thanks very much in advance,
Maik
Hello all I recently got a tab 2 and I decided to use CM11 as my ROM and I was just wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of the bottem bar where the home, back button and recent app buttons are whenever using the keyboard or when I don't need to use it cause its quite annoying when I try to type and accidently click the home or back button while typing or navigating my phone.
