Hi
I just went from Stock 4.0.3 to Team EOS 4.2.1. Everything seems to work, but Im missing the "lock navigation bar" feature.
I know it's a ASUS specific feature. It says ASUS "something" setting
Fore those not familiar with this feature: You get a new button on the navigation bar. swipe it - and it lock the navigation bar, so you dont accidental push any of the buttons while e.g playing games or watching movies. Swipe it again and it unlocks the bar.
It is a big problem for kids not to hit e.g. home or back buttons while playing.
Are there any apps, hidden settings or custom roms that makes this possible

U can hide the nav bar on this awesome ROM
Long press the power button and press the last option... Better then lock

Thanks mate
Yes that is a better solution, I agree.
I did rummage around the settings. found a lot of settings related to nav/status bar, but never quite what I was after.
Android can be quite difficult because all the feature and setting and that they change from version to version and ROM to ROM.
But its also the freedom we love, i guess
Hello, I remember that in the old day (with Gingerbread 2.3.X), when you want to launch the keyboard, you can hold the menu key anytime. However, unfortunately, I don't know why I can no longer use the same method to call up the keyboard with newer Jellybean 4.1.X devices. Therefore, I would like to know that if there is a way that I could do the same thing. If not, is there a trick or a mod I can use to fix it? Thanks.
I am using Note 2 (international N7100) with Omega ROM.
To be able to open it anywhere, you go into the settings for the keyboard and check the box for 'permanent notification'. It will then keep an entry in the notifications which you can tap to bring up the keyboard at any point. Or may be you can try Hacker's Keyboard (search in Google Play). Checking its Guide, there's in fact a section suggesting such a feature: You can configure the gesture used for this in the keyboard's "Gesture and key actions" settings menu. If the swipe action is too hard to trigger, try binding the "close keyboard" action to the "Volume down" hardware key. This won't interfere with normal use of the volume button while the keyboard is closed. Though this applies to "close": If there are gestures you can configure, it might as well be able to have one for "open". The FAQ may reveal some more clues.
Right now, the soft keys on the Z3 do 'Back', 'Home' and 'Recent apps'. With my previous phone being a Galaxy S2, this is a major annoyance for me. I want my beloved menu button back . So my question is: can I remap the 'Recent apps' button to instead show the menu? I've tried some solutions like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818499, but this doesn't seem to allow customization of the soft keys I want to change. Is there anything out there that lets me do this, preferably without directly modifying the layout file? I have root so that's not an issue.
Thanks in advance

Except no roms are ready for xperia Z3 yet. Also might want to try Carbon Rom if you really liked the navigation button customization. They do a better job than CM, and have more options.

Yeah, that's kind of the issue for now: the lack of ROMs. Could this be done through Xposed or something similar was well?

u should check if Xposed module have access to SystemUI
(i don know about that module a lot)
Root and xposed will work
There is a module for remapping keys and one for adding a permanent menu key

Just give it some time. Lollipop and Xperia Z3 hit the shelves around the same time, but DEVs are more interested in getting their ROMs working based on lollipop, instead of getting a custom rom based on an old OS working for a new phone.

Don't know if you are rooted, but this works for me.

I know, it's no problem. In the meantime dashrink's solution works great. Thanks all
Glad I could help
softkeyz
therd is an app called softkeyz which is paid and requires root but you can customise everything and by everything i mean that you can customise the function of the buttons and their color
Sent from my SM-N7505 using XDA Free mobile app
coming from a Note1 i have exactly the same question. sounds like we just wait for Lollipop and learn to love back-key on the left side (perhaps that's more intuitive anyway). i still wish there was a way to generate a menu-keypress though, like a combo? a long press?
i often feel like theres a menu there, but no way to see it. is it always true that the 3 vertical dots will appear somewhere (sometimes top, sometimes bottom. grrr!) in this menu-key-less interface?
First thing I did after root... Install Xposed framework then download/install the GravityBox(KK) module. In the GravityBox settings, go to Navigation Bar Tweaks. Enable the master switch, then check the box to "always show menu key".
This will enable your menu key and still keep your recent apps key. You can also swap the recent and back button (if your used to that type of layout). And if you want even more then you can do like I do...
(in the Navigation Key Actions menu, not in Navigation Bar Tweaks)
*shrink the nav bar to 75% height
*long press back to close foreground app
*long press home to enable/disabled screen rotation
*double tap home to show a custom app launcher menu (put your fav apps n here)
*double tap back to switch to last open app
*long press menu to enable/disable flashlight
(this is just my setup, each keys long press and double-tap have multiple options to choose from)
With gravity box you can do a whole lot. You can change your battery icon to a different one but be sure to go into your phone "settings>personalization>status bar icons" and uncheck battery. If not, then when you restart you will have 2 battery icons (stock & gbox battery) in your status bar. Also, you can turn your status bar into a brighteness control, which comes in very handy, or enable song skipping by long pressing the volume keys (when the screen is off).
Just check everything out in gravity box, it has soo much to offer.

I just did this with my Xperia Z3. Get root (note there's locked bl root available). Then install xposed framework. Then get Xperia / AOSP NavBar module from Xposed Installer.
Hlw all devs there plaz share your knowledge, i'm dreaming for a custom navigation key from a long time on our cute falcon. if you familiar with N. bar of Meizu or like i'phone like them i just want only one custom key. rest of two button could be removed or disabled. action will configurable like,
Back action: single touch on the key
Home Action: hold/double tap on the key.
recent: up swipe on bottom edge of the screen.
That navigation bar and button could be Glass transparent, like floating button. so that navigation bar width would be small and consume little place.
tried lot of way like GMD Autohide, xposed module like G.Box or several other's. but i could not configure all function together.
can you guys help me to configure such "One Key" ? plz?
something like my attachment.
thanks.
Hey
I can't for the life of me get "menu key" functionality on my mate8's navigation bar (or any other place for that matter).
On previous phones it's always been possible to add it through a long press action of for example the recent apps key.
I can't find this setting in the settings.
Is the only way to get a menu key to install xposed and gravitybox or what? Huawei, you're killing me!!!
Thanks for reading and helping!
