[Q] GT-P3113 AOSP Flashed No Home Bar - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have built JB for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" from AOSP. It boots up sucessfully, looks to be working, and by disabling the physical keyboard I can get the keyboard to work on screen.
However, the bar that is usually on the bottom of the actual touch screen is missing. It contains the home button, the back button, and I think the apps button. It's hard to navigate between apps without it.
I was wondering if anyone has encountered something similar to this? Or can suggest a direction to take?
Thanks!

What height is it set at in ROM control ( if AOSP has one )? What dpi are you running at ?
EDIT : sent you PM.

[Q] Keyboard Dock Functionality

Hey all,
So I just recently bought the keyboard dock (a little late to the game I know ) and I was wondering if I could add some functionality to it.
First am I able to change what apps open with the function keys? Mainly I want to change the browser button so that it opens Chrome Beta instead of the stock browser.
Also can I add keyboard shortcuts in various apps? Specifically is there any way I can add cntrl+T or cntrl+F etc to Chrome Beta?
Finally, when I lock my screen using the lock function key I cannot turn the screen back on without reach up and clicking the button on the tablet. Is there a button on the keyboard that does this? Does it not work in ICS?
That's about all I can think of right now. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't know the answers on all your questions yet.
You can bring your tablet to life by swiping your finger over the touchpad, then press the home button to unlock.
Don't think there is a function to attach buttons to self-defined apps for now, anybody: correct me when i'm wrong.
See here for the browser button issue. As far as remapping other keys, that's dependent upon each application.
And if the TF101 w/ ICS is anything like the TF201, there should be a setting for dock power saving. If it's enabled, then the tablet won't wake up to key presses on the dock.

Thanks for this! I was wondering how to do this. I just recently gave out trying to figure it out since the key press is one inch away from my screen icon LOL. I have to say, Google needs to replace the stock browser with Chrome in future Android versions. What an improvement!!
Nice bike in your avatar. Here's my track monster after I mangled my old racebike.

Menu button does not work with CM10 or cm based 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

Change the behavior of buttons (menu, home, back buttonS) on stock S2 PLUS

Hi guys!
I was wondering if there is an app or a tweak that I can use in order to customize the behavior of the buttons on our device, S2 PLUS. Shortly put, I would like to use the long-press menu button action to lock the device. I have searched for apps to lock/wake the device without using the physical button, but most of them use the proximity sensor or drain the battery - and I do not want apps that do that. Btw, I am running the stock version of Android 4.2.2 on my S2 PLUS, and the phone is rooted. Thanks!

Changing Screenshot combo

Hello everyone
I am using a rooted Samsung phone running stock Touchwiz ROM. My home button has stopped working and so I'm unable to take screenshots. I tried the assistive touch screenshots feature but it's slow and doesn't work in most cases. I was wondering if I could probably edit the build prop or something to change the screenshot combo to power and volume down probably.
Any help will be appreciated

I think screenshot touch app help you. It's not required hardware keys to press. When app is enabled small popup icon displays on the side of the screen. When you touch that icon it takes the screenshot immediately. Install it from play store

Thanks for the suggestion but I already have the assistive touch icon roaming around my screen. One more icon will be quite distracting. I had considered this option but I would like to have hardware control over my screenshots instead of software. This is the reason why I put it up here. Flashing a ROM will be way too much for such a small thing
