DroidX, rooted, stock ROM
I came from a rooted Incredible with soft buttons, and dislike the hardware buttons on the X. I installed the brilliant Swipepad, which handles many of the issues, but still haven't found a convenient way to get HOME without that button.
MENU and RETURN would also be nice.
Is there a way to do that?
Lucky You Try Button Savior.. I've been using it for 6 months and it's great, Has menu,screen off, home and others

You could probably look for a soft keys app. There's a few out there.

Installed Button Savior and tried various config options, but can't seem to get the trigger to show on my Droid X screen. ???
If you run CM7, you could turn on 'Tablet Tweaks'. It adds honeycomb style home/back/menu to the notification bar (and lets you move it to the bottom rather than the top if desired).
after you install you need to open the app, and go over the settings. Then the trigger pops up

I am running CM7 on my Droid x and my galaxy tab... settings are there on my tab but the tablet tweaks aren't all there on my Droid x, only status bar on bottom option, dead zone option and disable lockscreen option. The settings for soft buttons aren't there, where they are on my tablet. Not sure if it is unique to my rom but my source for Droid x is straight from CM7 site, and I install nightlies almost every day. I'm in no way calling you a liar, but I am wondering if you have first hand experience, as if you do, I would actually like to know how to get the soft key setting, because it would be practical at nighttime to switch off lights on home buttons and use a soft key instead(those home lights are so damn bright at night and you can't lower their brightness like you can the screen, but you can shut them off)
Sprint SGT + CM7 = AWESOMENESS!!!!

You are correct. I assumed it was there and didn't actually check until just now.
I use CM7 W/GB (RevNumbers builds). They are almost identical to the official nightly builds. I also use CM7 on my G-Tablet. Know that Tablet tweaks was there, and that the Tablet tweaks option was there on my X, I just assumed (my bad) that the options were the same.
After your post, I double checked on my X and I get the same options as you.
Looks like button savior is the way to go.

Lol so I'm not crazy? It would be nice if the CM7 team added those features to our x's. I just might go bug the CM7 team and see if I get a reply I can't imagine it would be difficult to add those options to the menu...

So, I tried in both PAC and Jellybam to enable the navigation bar but for some reason I can't get the menu button to actually do anything when I select it. Is there a specific order I should be changing options? Even the little side menu buttons don't work.

So I just installed ViperXL today and I can't find any way to disable the onscreen bottom menu button for apps that don't have it built in like Facebook.
In CM10 and CleanROM there was a way to have it so I could set up my recent apps key to do multitasking on tap, and menu on long press. By default that would disable the built in 3 dot menu in apps like Gmail but in those roms you can reenable the 3 dots and still use the recent apps key as a menu key.
Is there any way to hide that on screen menu button that shows up at the bottom of the screen in Viper?
Thanks!

I found those options without a problem.
If I disable the Soft Menu Bar, it fixes the problem with apps like facebook and XDA, however in Gmail and other apps I lose the 3 button overflow from within the app itself.
In my attachment, the part circled in red is lost with the Soft menu bar disabled. When the Soft menu bar is enabled, I get back that button but also get the annoying black bar at bottom with the 3 dots in Facebook/XDA. CM10 and CleanROM both had a way to have the 3 dots from apps as well as disable the black bar while having the recent apps key do both menu and multitask.
I believe it is a build.prop change so there is no way to have it show just the in-app menu button

I hate how we can't have the best of both worlds with ViperXL 3.2.1. Before, we could turn off the menu bar, have the in-app 3-dot menu, and have the long-press menu button for apps that have yet to update their UI.
Now we have to long-press the menu button for every app, and constantly guess if the app we're using has a menu or not. Some people think this is fine. I don't. I thought the whole point behind custom ROMs and Android was the ability to change things to what we want, and not being limited by decisions made by people who think they know everything.
Lol then find a rom that does what you want or make it yourself

This may be a stupid question. I just installed the AOKP 4.2 build 5.
I am wondering how to assign the hardware keys?
I want to use long press home to do voice search, recent button as menu key, and long press recent as recent apps.
Also I miss having swipe up in lock screen to access google now. is there any way to set it?
It looks like I have to enable navigation bar in order to have quick access to google now.
Please help.
Please ask questions in the Q&A forum.
Hi, i've recently rooted my new Nexus 5, and flashed this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588152
Because i'm coming from SGS2, I thought it would be nice if I could
set an action for long pressing the Homebutton (I want to make it open
the recent tasks screen) but I couldn't find it in the Navigation Bar settings.
I prefer having back, Home and menu instead of recent tasks, and would like
to make it so that press&hold on the home button would open recent tasks screen.
Hope I made myself clear
Thanks!
Anyone has an Idea?
Have you tried gravitybox?
