It took me a few days to find a working flashable file to enable onscreen nav buttons but I finally found it. I did not make this mod. It was made for the gs2 international version, but works flawlessly on the skyrocket.

Enjoy. It's also themeable

On the skyrocket?
...
Really?
Moved from ATT S2 to here
But why would we need this?
Also, fyi to anyone who's curious, if you're rooted, you can edit a file (I don't remember right now but if someone wants to know I can easily find out) to change our soft keys to basically any other function; so I changed the SEARCH softkey that I never use to the multi-task key.

Hi, I'm trying to replace the Voice Search of my HTC Sensation with the Mytouch 4g Genius Button app because of the fact it open apps and it has hands free mode, I extracted the apk's and lib files from my wife MyTouch and after moving the lib files to the lib folder and installing the apk's I could manage to get the call,send,handsfree,show me and check messages to work but the search, find and get directions option are not working everytime I try using them it gives me the "Sorry Connection Lost message" Please try again when you have service. Can someone please help me sort this out because it's driving me crazy I want to set this in my lock screen. Im going to post the files I extractedin the post below. any help would be greatly appreciated. Ican be contacted thru here or tweet me @eL_inc
Download link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6767376/Perfect Sense/GeniusButton.zip
The files will be up soon, first I need to have at least eight post to be able to post external links. PM me if you need the files in the meanwhile. thnx in advance
Just zip them up and attach them here
Btw there are two apks. You got them both right? And two libs.
I cant because they exceed the size limit... The only way is dropbox so i'll have to wait until i get to eight posts.
Yep... Two Apk's vmode.apk and vsuite.apk and the lib's are libvsuite.so and libvsuite_sharedlib.so

This from the 4g or 4g slide?
Stock TMOUS 4g... Let me know if you need any file man & Thanks
Try flashing the Genius App that's posted in my sig. But, I think that app requires the actual phone to be a "Glacier"(board reference), and I'm certain the Sensation's board isn't glacier.
Just flashed your file, unlike any other file I tried this one flashed successfully but still the same problem, what else can it be, because everything else works except the ones that require internet/gps. I already have the file in the lock screen and is awesome just unlocking and say show me twitter and ta-dan!
Did you guys try " Launchkey" application? It gives you option of changing your Search key to any application or shortcut you want and works with long press.. Short press still opens search functions
Btw.. I have set it to Lock screen after installing " lock screen" application..(not widget)
Is there any way I could get my hands on the Genius button software for the myTouch 4g Slide, do you think it will mean any difference?? also, I was working rescaling the app and while I was working the XML's I tought to myself that it could be something with the permitions... If someone can tell me if there is any difference between the one from the 4g and the 4g Slide it would be greatly appreciated
It would be better to get the newest version from the mytouch by lg or the mytouch q by lg.

I don't know the exact differences...But, the one in my sig is from the MT4G's 2.3.5 update...And I think the MT4GS is also on same firmware...However it has sense 3.0 w/ mySense. I doubt they have major differences, but they're probably coded for specific phones. And when you should use button shortcut app, which is included in the .zip you guys dl'ed.

It sounds like you think you need the hardware buttons to use the genius button apk the fact is you don't! There is no need for the button at all. It is merely a shortcut, so that's not an issue. The mytouch by lg (not the mytouch q) doesn't even have the hardware button (the q does). Also I never downloaded the attachment in your sig. I pulled my own files from a system dump. I DID use the libs and apks from the slide, same issue.

I know you don't need the Genius button, on AOSP Roms, that button is just search, and Genius still works. That's why I think the app checks the phone being used, just like apps on the market; someone may need to decompile the app or w.e.

I'm still trying to figure this one out until the I will have to used the non-internet based functions, like call, send txt, show me app, and hand free. BTW Yesterday I used apktool to decompile it to check the xml's and the smali files but I ended up with a massive headeache... psst
Hi, everyone. I have CM7.1 installed on my Droid Incredible. For the lock screen, I'm using the sliding tab option. When I slide the unlock tab, it says "unlock" on it. I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the size of that text, and what it says. I was looking at the framework-res.apk, and I found images for the tab, but nothing on what the tab says. Anyone have any ideas?
I have done it before, but don't remember exactly how. I am pretty sure that I used root explorer to edit the file. I would search for you, but, i am running ICS right now. Please let me know if this helped.
Later this week, i will install CM7 stock, if no one else is able to help you.

I figured that there was a file to edit, but I'm not sure what it's called, or where to look.
Code:
/* Disclaimer: This MOD is not officially endorsed or supported by the CyanogenMod team. */
Due to numerous requests, I decided to make this MOD publicly available.
What this MOD does is disable the hardware keys from the UI (wake functions will still work) and enable the softkeys via a build.prop edit. It also disables the softkey lights via an init.d script. You can disable that part of the MOD by creating an empty 99nobacklights file in init.d.
Download Enable Softkeys MOD v1.2
Download Disable Softkeys MOD v1.0
Just an FYI on what is being modified in this MOD:
/system/build.prop
/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
If you backup the above files, you can undo the mod without reflashing it by dropping in the originals. As of v1.2 of the enable softkeys MOD, you can flash the latest disable softkeys MOD to disable the softkeys and get the hardware buttons back.
Also the following file is created by the MOD to disable the backlights only if the file doesn't exist:
/system/etc/init.d/99nobacklights
If you don't want to flash the new disable MOD, you can delete 99nobacklights and remove the # symbols from synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl as well as delete the line that says qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and then reboot.
Delete it and reboot to regain the backlight functionality.
If you don't have init.d support in your ROM, the backlights will function as normal but the rest of the MOD will work. As an alternative to this, you can run this at boot or manually edit the below referenced file and set the value to 0:
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/max_brightness
NOTE: One little aesthetic bug I've noticed of the current method is that each flash of the enable MOD puts an extra blank line before qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 and the disable MOD doesn't delete that extra line. If you flash back and forth between an enabled state and disabled state, you'll see a lot of blank lines at the bottom of your build.prop. There are no negative implications other than it looking kind of weird.
Changelog:
Enable softkeys
v1.2
make mod more universal by editing the files via instead of dropping them in
This also allows a simple disable softkeys MOD to be put in place.
v1.1
fix issue where capacitive buttons weren't actually getting disabled
v1.0
Initial release
disables backlight and capacitive buttons
enables softkeys via a build.prop edit
Disable softkeys
v1.0
Revert changes in v1.2 of the enable MOD via sed edits.
Thank you kindly.
I had the software buttons enabled already, it was just disabling the hardware buttons and backlighting that I didn't have yet.
[edited]
Finally got a chance to flash the mod.
While the mod did disable the backlighting to the capacitive buttons, it did not disable the capacitive buttons themselves. CM10.1 nightlies

Fixed it for v1.1. If you don't want to reflash, you can edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl and clear everything from that file and save and reboot.
Ahh Kool. Yeah I sorted everything out, but this'll make everything a few steps easier between nightlies.
You don't have to clear the file tho. Mearly commenting out each line with # does the trick..

I cleaned it up a bit more and wanted to do some more improvements for 1.2. I'm using more edits instead of replacing files. This should make it more universal.
I took your tip into consideration. I knew about the # being for comments but I didn't think about the OS ignoring it in non script files.
I'm setting it up for a revert mod now based on wanting to do more than just replace with a blank file to disable and to make it easily revertible. The next version will feature these improvements.
I'm actually surprised this thread isn't getting more responses with the number of requests I got. I guess Android development doesn't get as much viewing.
lol yeah im a bit surprised there arent many hits on this thread aswell. I get hit up about how to do it aswell.
I really wish HTC made the buttons transparent like the S3/4 rather then white and always there. Works fine for me now tho. I took the iBlasso screen protector and added a carbonfiber skin insert were the cutout is at the bottom. Looks real nice and still a flush fit.
Onscreen softkeys for nav n slide my finger across the carbon fiber strip to wake.

I've made progress on the mod. I should have a version that reverts the enable mod ready to go soon but I'll need to test it when I'm back on AOSP.
Heads up: this doesn't even work...

Is that the latest version of the mod? (1.1) if so, then I'll look at this sometime next week. I'm trying to hold out for in call audio to work on CM before checking this out. I have a updated version in the works anyway that should not have any issues.
What CM variant are you guys with issues on? The initial version used a build.prop in the mod. It wasn't a good idea so I'm having it edit it now for the upcoming version.

It's worked for me fine for every nightly build... So I don't know.
V1.2 of the Enable MOD is up as well as an initial release of the Disable MOD. This should address the major concerns and issues with the previous version.
It's doesn't work on the Rootbox rom. Luckily I have gesture.

It's only been tested on CM so I don't know if there's something that'd make it fail on Rootbox or another ROM? Can you output the last 5 or 10 lines of the following files:
/system/build.prop
/system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
build.prop should have qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 at the end and synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl should have every line preceded with the # symbol. That's all the mod does in addition to turning off backlights by creating an init.d script.
Also, did you flash the latest versions listed in the OP?
works great on cm.10 latest nightly. but somehow i miss the sense rom, too bad it doesnt work on sense. btw does this mod work with google edition based roms?

Hello everyone!
I was thinking of we switching over to MIUI but I really like nav bar. Is there anyway I can add nav bar to any rom? Doesn't need to be customized.
Thanks!
Sent from my VZW GS3 using Tapatalk 2
you can add the nav bar with some build prop edits. i dont know them, do a search.
most AOSP roms have the option available too. i dont think ive ran one that didnt.
Read the op for the rom and like mentioned previously a lot of roms have the option.

qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0
use root explorer to add the line all the way at the end of your build.prop in the system folder.
Make sure you use the root explorer built in text editing function
also mount system as write.
this will not work if you change a single character about it , so go over it again and again
It will cover a bit of your camera controls in touch wiz roms , but it will not render them useless
If its taking too much of your screen then change LCD density to 280
if the play store start showing incompatible roms then use this play store instead AFTER DELETING THE ONE YOU HAVE USING TITANIUM :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839871
Hello have you been tired of that stupid lag on the Google edition when pressing the home button? There's no way to disable the double tap home to open recent apps so the ui will always studder to wait if you double tap. Everything still functions perfect. Flash via recovery and viola the lag is gone:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Just flashed this and i got the SIM-unlock problem on my GE based Null ROM. Restored it back the way it was and it's gone
Don't flash if you have Null ROM.
Within the GE rom there is a very easy framework-res/bools edit for those that know apktool. But then you either need another method to access the recents panel or enable the navbar (that is my favorite method, easy to enable by the bools too). The downside is that this must be built for each rom, and every version that framework-res is modified. Then you get a domino effect of now you now have active capacitive buttons and a navbar which can be frustrating. Disable those within the /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl. Then you still have the button back lights . . there is an app over in the tmo gs4 section for that.
