Hi! Since two weeks that I own my x10i I've seen a lot of patches and theads with the words "soft keys" to enable or disable it.
I guess they aren't keys made of velvet
Thanks and sorry for the noob question
I believe what you're talking about are the touch screen nav bar buttons found on ICS and +
or the capacitive buttons?

Moved to he Q&A sections, please use the Q&A for questions. Thank You.
Soft keys normally mean the virtual keys normally found on devices that dont have the back, home, menu etc hardware keys.
However they can be switched on in a custom rom on devices that do have hardware keys

keys on the screen, as opposed to those built onto the hardware
kinda like software vs hardware
Ok! Thank you very much!

Softkeys can also be the apps "button savior" and "softkeys (for root users)"

It means that the buttons aren't real but they are displayed on the screen

Hi!
I'm new here in xda. Can't post or reply directly on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 to ask.
It is really hard to get the options when you press the power button.

You have to be really precise in timing it or else you'd just lock your screen.
My question is: is there any combination key, shortcuts, widgets or anything that would allow us to access the built-in screenshot app of this rom when necessary (apart from pressing the power/lock button) which normally locks the screen and makes any open app (which by the way intended to be taken a screenshot) force close?
I searched the forum but got no answers. Hope someone could help me out.
Thanks!

? Just long press the power button, the menu will open but not close anything else.
Select screenshot, after ~3seconds a screenshot will be taken.
If your rom is rooted there are apps for screenshots too, i.e. trigger through shake.
and you can still post in the general section even though you're new

Yeah I actually have shootme right now but I was hoping that there's some kind of way it can be accessed aside from the power button.

Open framework-res.apk with apktool and add them
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
If you need help, give me your framework-res.apk, and I'll help you. There are tutorials on how to get it though, search for "XDA enable ICS onscreen buttons" on google.

I would like to see if it is possible to replace the hardwarekeys to the ics ones, the menu button to the multitasking button. That would be nice

How many different threads do people need to open for exactly the same problem - this has been reported on at least five threads yesterday - and is an acknowledged issue caused by updates to the system.
Learn to use the search button before posting please.

Do you tried to reflash and wipe?
No luck.....was also present in ics but not in oxygen or stock.....i guess it is bcoz of an app or setting...
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
Maybe because its not installable. Directly place it in system app and change permissions
Restart!!
'Unknown Sources' under 'Applications' in settings is checked?
this is strange, the unresponsive screen is a known bug, but in that case the entire screen is unresponsive, not part of it.
Well you can always try this workaround - whenever you face unresponsiveness, just lock and unlock your phone then and there, it should be fine.
As for Unknown sources, you wouldn't even reach this screen if that isn't ticked already. Try some other ROM or you might be losing the srceen!
Dont know....rebooted nothing happened....i flash too much things like sdspeedfix, search as power....camera patch....may b something is conflicting coz there is no problem on untweaked rom.....thnx for advice.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Happened to me couple of times but a simple reboot would fix it. if u use app2sd script then try reflashing it
I had something like that before. But it was when i was using screen filter app. Disabled it and ta da it responds. Check whether u use a screen filter app

I need to enable it in order to develop some apps but now after update I think is gone.
I'm running Android 4.0.3 .

I just got mine and I'm not sure whether it came with 4.0.3 but it ran an update and now it has 4.0.4 and this version has usb.debug.
I would sene a screen shot, but don't know how.
Quick question - how did you make the screen shot? I tried all the button combinations on mine and none of them worked. I read in a forum that it's volume down + power button, but it didn't work. Thanks in advance.

Dear God I must be stupid, it works, I just had to press the volume down and power buttons together at the same time.
