The HTC M8 is my first phone without the physical home/menu/back buttons on the bottom of the phone.
I find the multitask button totally useless (what's wrong with holding down menu until it appears like my S3 and S4?) and I'd rather have the menu key there and not take up any valuable screen real estate. I'm also used to having the back button on the right and the menu on the left, can any of this be changed?
These kind of changes will require a true root solution, but will very much be possible. Just need S-Off to achieve it! Temp root won't do the trick.

Do you have in mind a complete custom Rom? Or can a root-only setting just be modified?

Nah just a modded framework-res/systemui would be all that's needed. But I'm sure entire ROMs will pop up with the ability to change on the fly.

Ok, I'm not interested in getting custom Rom's they're great but too much of a headache sometimes. I just want to adjust these settings

Ok so to start off I am a noon learning as I go so bare with me. But the usual shortcut (pressing home/power) for taking screen shots doesn't seem to work right now. I've only just noticed this since I don't take screen shots too often but I would like to know is there a fix for this? Or did I miss something wen i installed CM10...Other than that it's a solid build and I've enjoyed it so far with no other issues.

That might be a touchwiz feature, i'm not entirely sure. Somebody who's used CM10 on the galaxy should probably chip in
Its an option on the power button now

Sweet. Ok so I've changed that setting but am still unable to take screen shots. Do I need to reboot for it to take action?

Screenshot for AOSP ROMs is always volume- + power. It's power+home on TW ROMs.

I AM NOT TAKING ANY CREDIT FOR THIS, FOUND ON GOOGLE AND WANT TO SHARE
Mount as R/W
Open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl. with text editor
Go to "key 172 HOME WAKE" line
Delete word WAKE
Save and exit
Reboot phone
That's all , now you stoped the home button from waking up your device.
Probably working on all roms but i tested with rooted stock rom.
Will work on rooted stock roms for sure

That seems like the complete opposite of its purpose when the device is in sleep.
But you can just turn off the lock screen, and you accomplish what you're asking for. No security at all though. Butt dials like a mother. No one wants that.

I know it's the complete opposite of this mod but it will be faster (IMO) to double click the home button to wake-unlock the device.
But no lock screen will definitely cause butt dials

looking for the same thing.
Not working in Sprint S4 running liquid smooth (AOSP is ya didn't know). Been searching everywhere. Anyone know if there's a way to disable it on AOSP roms? Tried removing wake from every single file inside the key layout folder but met with no success...
Thanks, it was very useful to me, to re-enable the wake up screen on home button.

I was unaware, OP still needs to update the OP to reflect this.

anyways.....
anyone using the app notice the home and mulitask buttons are slightly larger than the back key?
edit: original post updated...
I'm using SoftKeysz and observing some "ghosting" behavior where the "up graphic" ^ overlays the home key, which causes the home key to stop responding. the only fix is a reboot. Anyone else experiencing this behavior and/or have a fix i might try? thanks!
EDIT: Fixed, something related to XBlast or GravityBox options i selected. I thought i had disabled them, but i didn't. I disabled both apps and ghosting went away, will have to see which option (if any) was the causing my problem.

Anyone having problems with the size of some of the softkeys? It seems to be enlarging them.

By chance did you backup your stock m8 keys is softkeyz? If so can you attach them here? I did not backup mines and the ones available in-app don't have the stock find button.

Mine themed, but most of the time one button (in my case the recents)...was huge. and wouldn't correct itself for some reason, even if I used GravityBox to shrink the Navbar. No idea...guess I'll wait for the next update..I really like it though - lots of cool designs on there.

yep, i have same problem , i'm on viper ROM.
The app needs to be compatible with gravitybox.. will report this in the original thread app
This is more of a proof of concept that might be useful to lock the screen.
Does not require root.
HTC's framework detects gestures while the screen is on, this is actually broadcasted to all applications, but the only app that reacts to it is HTC's Media Output (Three finger swipe up or left-right).
This app is both an implementation that reacts to a three finger click to lock the screen, and a dev concept that shows how to react to the gestures.
If you want to use this to lock the phone, just tap with three fingers anywhere after enabling device admin.

More dev stuff:
If anyone is interested where this happens, it's in services.odex's com.htc.server.gesture package.
This is one of the best hacks I've used for the m8 so far ... Very simple yet tasty ?
Thanks..and keep up the good work

Thank you so much. This is an awesome feature add. The Media gesture is something that I have no use for and didn't want to change my kernel in order for this to work. I'm seeing how long I can go without rooting my phone. This will definitely prolong my challenge. ?

Look, I respect that you are a Dev and have done good work. But what I said is not BS. I have been having bad batt drain for a few weeks. Couldn't figure it out. I uninstalled this and poof, no more batt drain. So how is that BS?

The app is simply a listener, it does not enable anything, in fact, if a three finger gesture is not detected by the system, as far as the system is concerned, the app does not exist (it does not take CPU cycles, or memory, or any resources besides storage for the APK).
Therefore, it's technically impossible for it to cause any battery drain. I have no idea what happened on your phone, but it's likely a coincidence.
With that said, my reply was a bit rude, so apologies for that.

You'll need to enable the app as a Device Policy Manager. You have to open the app once for Android to confirm it wasn't maliciously installed.

Hi, I'm looking for an app that is able to enable the softkey with just a click of button and lock the capacitive button? Is there such an app? It's much like the one plus 2 which has a way to easily switch between the 2
there probably is but most likely you will need to be rooted
