Yea one of the thing on the "cons" list of ICS was that you have to find the menu button every time... gnexus haters gonna hate

> when you enabled ics on screen buttons on cm 9.. there should be an option added at system under settings called navigation.. where you can hide/auto hide/always show, add edit soft keys.

Yeah, u can. u have to nable nav bar and set the height and width to 0px using apktool. im actually using it in that way.
well, heres my modded apk from my phone. (17th jul arjen's nightly)
it has navbar in portrait mode only. made it narrow, so it wont take up much space. on landscape it wont show. And u have the menu button on actionbar at all times.
i did this, so that i can hold my phone upside down, and still use it without bothering about the hardware buttons.
i dont have time to make a new apk or a flshable zip right now. push it to /system/framework
Could anyone do it for paranoid android?

You have this option in AOKP ICS.
There are lot more navigation options in Rom Control!!

Hey,
I'm running ICS rom on my HTC Desire and the home button randomly stopped working :/ . My question is, if there is anyway to access multitasking on ICS without pressing and holding the home button. Like a shortcut or app or something. I understand that you can force close apps other ways, but I need to get to that multitasking swipe screen.
Many thanks in advance

You can re-map the multitasking button to search
Just search "search to recent apps"

You can try this .. but its only tested on nexus s ... so backup

Forgot to mention that the search button doesnt work either, and I was hoping do something simple instead of root related. Thanks anyway

Thank you for your generous help! But I have somehow fixed the buttons (it turned out it was a software not hardware problem).
Thanks again anyway
you can add activite shortcut then set the activty to multitasking application activity
Apex Launcher can let you make shortcuts to recent apps
Also, Button savior works great
You can try this tutorial to get virtual buttons if your up to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364757

Hi all, I've just flashed JB.
I've seen some things I didn't expect (probably they depend on the phablet interface) which I don't like so much.
1 - long press the home button doesn't open mini task manager anymore
2 - the useful customizable soft button (you could use it to take screenshots, access the drawer and so on) has gone
3 - long press the recent apps soft button doesn't open the drawer anymore
Any ideas? Is JB really better than ICS?
Thanks
Try going into your settings, and look for system launcher i think... I don't remember what it is called. But in the settings, under the device section, it should be there i think. If you do find it, look for system options and softtouch keys. There you can set your own buttons and have what they do if you hold it. Sorry for bad instructions. I don't have a device to see where its located at.
IMO, Jelly Bean is better than ICS. Because Jelly Bean has project butter, making everything so smooth and clean.
I tried to look everywhere, but there's nothing about soft keys.
Thanks anyway.

Anyone found a solution? Maybe some app?
I really miss the mini task manager of the home button (now it opens Google Now, which I really don't care about).

the task manager soft button is not a big deal. you can get it from the Quick Launch (far right arrow)
Maybe someone knows how to edit homescreens now? There's no menu button on the homescreen

tap and hold homescreen...
If I want to delete a homescreen, what should I do?
Pinch screen and then you can delete unneeded

Yes, I know, but with ICS it was easier (1 tap less). I could use the quick launch anyway.
Same thing for the drawer, I could keep pressed the recent activities button to acces it directly; now (when I'm not in a homescreen) I have to press the home button and, then, the app button in the dock.
Usually I suppose that a more recent OS release has some improvement, not a drawback.
please any can helpme on this? today some part of the touchscrenn ( up in vertical mode) dont respond... in any program.. but when I put the phone in landscape mode, the buttons works good, but if any diferent button stay in the left side , dont respond..
this thing happen when my phone its work fine, but a few hours ago, this happen to my phone, and I try installing a new rom , a different rom, but its the same,
please look the pictures ..
Picture 1.- if I use the phone in vertical ( normal ) mode, all things or buttons when I open any program thats button dont respond
Picture 2.- but the same program open, if I put in landscape mode, all that button works fines, but in this landscape mode if any button stay in the left side... cant works...
I noted this start happen, when I try to slide down the status bar and have problem to slide down ( dont respond good ) I need to leave my finger in the status bar ( the up status bar) and then try to slide my finger to the left and then with problem I can slide down... ( to know the notifications, or to change how to conect the phone with my pc, or to only clear all the notifications ) of course in landscape mode all works fine...
please any idea ???
Oh man sounds like you digitizer has gone bad. I've seen this a couple times. My friends Samsung and my daughters inspire has a dead spot. hope you can get it covered under insurance.

What Rom are you on? For a workaround for some things like notifications window, you can configure what your capacitive buttons can do (I.e. long press home button) to activate notifications.
Aside from that, I'm sorry to hear that you may have a failure in the phone

Sounds like the digitizer, but try flashing the ruu for your phone, if that doesn't help it time to send it of to HTC for repairs. It will be covered under the warranty.

Ok then. Go into your Viper Tweaks section. There at the bottom you'll find all of the various ways you can modify the Rom.
Select Buttons. From there you can see where you'll be able to change and customize what the capacitive (3 lit up buttons) will do. You can assign them from there.
Make sure if the tweak you perform needs to be updated (refresh button on top right side of tweaks window) or some changes require a quick reboot.
I looked and one option for you is to have a button long pressed to toggle the status bar.
Good luck
Jon

From what you pictures show.... the dead spot is opposite to the captivate buttons. All the tweeks on that are just for changing the button operation for ui.

That has been removed. The menu button will appear only if necessary and needed by the app itself. If you don't seem to find the menu button, it might be embedded in the app itself. The menu button on the navigation bar will appear at the left-most corner. A 3 horizontal line with a small triangle.
So it seems like..it has already been removed..and also the screen grab shortcut aswell hmmm anyways thanks for the input though

Any idea how to flip the multitask and back buttons ? Isn't it weird that the back button is now on the right ? Why would Samsung do that ?
My menu button on GT-6210 hardly ever shows up no matter which app I'm using & it's totally random when it decides to show back up (using stock honeycomb.) I got so annoyed by not having it when I needed it so I bought an app called called button survivor from the market. I think it needs root permission but now I can use that to open the menu whenever I need it.

So did they remove quick launch options in the display settings removed on jellybean?
Settings/display/quick launch
I don't have jellybean so I can't check but if they they removed the quick launch option & removed the screenshot shortcut that is very disappointing and makes no sense at all.

I am currently using the Galaxy s4 with native keys that are not on screen for home, back, etc. When using navbar / pie and changing home screen the home button on the nav bar / pie does not work if you hit it quickly after you change the screen. Same kind of thing with opening apps if I remember correctly. Is this delay something you see in the OnePlus One as well? Flip a homescreen, hit home on navbar really quick and let me know if you find the phone not responding. It's aa if I need to wait a second for the device to recognize the command although the physical home button works just fine. Just wanna know if this is the case for the 1+1 because I am looking to pick one up shortly, thanks for your time
