Is there a ways or app that can be used to change what a soft key does.
For example to open "Utter" instead of google search when clicking on search.
I installed "Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons" for Xposed and like it but I want to change the action and clicking on search......
In other works, remapping softkeys
Thanks
There is no search button on standard softkeys anyway. Just home recent and back button. I think you may mean the nav ring but either way settings for then can be changed in most custom ROMs now a days

Like I said in my opening post I installed "Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons" for Xposed and added the search softkey in the navbar. I don't use the navring and still using stock rom.
On the AICP rom you can change them to whatever you want and also do a long press and a double press as well. It's great.

Gravity box xposed has options to customise the navbar keys

it there any way to diable this annoying gesture? for me its annoying because i accidentaly hit it when scrolling or simply navigating around my phone.

The Cataclysm ROM has a setting to disable it, which is good for me since using the LMT pie control on the bottom of the screen totally doesn't work well with the Google Now gesture.

I just developed an app for that, enjoy

I'm trying to go back to stock. The ROM I'm using now allows 5 customized navigation buttons. This seems to be the only mod I can't do without. Does anyone know how to get 5 nav buttons and your nav bar on a stock or close to stock rom?
My nav bar actions:
second action is long press
pull down notification bar, torch
home, search
back, kill app
recent app list, last app
app drawer, settings

Only thing that may be able to do this would be an Xposed framework and module for Nav Bar customizing. Try Gravitybox or one of them.

You could try Ultimate Dynamic NavBar (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.udn&hl=en). May be what you are looking for.
Thanks but they don't have all the options im looking for

You sure about that? They have like 20 different options and you can cram 9 different buttons on the nav bar. I doubt the custom rom you were playing with had more options than that.

UDN does not have a notification bar pull down action. I believe it did not have another action I have listed above but I can't remember and unfortunately I have refunded my purchase. I also don't like that it's an app.

I think you are being too picky. If you are wanting to be on stock ROM, the only way you are going to get those customizations are with Xposed or an app. If neither does the job, you should just stay on the ROM you are using.
I'm not to picky, I live without a lot of options. My rom has tons of options and all I want is its navbar settings in xposed. I think the only customization this phone really needs is a personal smaller navbar.

I have seen many apps that hide the soft buttons on tablets and phones, but i need a way to hide only certain buttons. My tablet has five soft buttons, recent apps, back, home, and volume up and down. I don't need the volume keys, so i was wondering if there is a way to hide only certain soft buttons.
You can see the soft buttons in the screenshot.
No one?
it is called a nav bar. certain roms have a feature to disable it just like the statusbar. try settings or immersive mode.
Edit: certain soft keys you say, eh?
well that i cannot help with. try gravity box, or systemui.apk editing.

i have followed the guides at xda and androidcentral, nothing works... if you can help, that'd be great!
The attached picture is how my notification area looks
I got a settings button on top-right of screen, it opens settings app.
But the settings app starts slowly, and usually used up so much ram.
After I closed the settings app and back to my previous using app, It's already closed and restarting.
Is there any way to add a button and a page then when I tap on it, the notification area will switch to the added page with the toggles like WiFi and brightness or something?
Sorry for my bad English...

You can root your device and install "xposed framework" + the module "gravity box". Gravity box provides features to change quicksetting toggles. May work, may not. Just try it if you're bored

I know the module, but my HTC Desire 200 stock Rom is ICS 4.0.3, gravity box supports only JB and up.
I can't figure out any other method than mod systemui.apk and framework-res.apk right now.
Ps. There's no working recovery and newer Rom for this phone now and maybe forever

I noticed on the Att model they removed the brightness and volume sliders from the drip down menu
Is there a way to flash the system file to add it back in? There isn't an option for it in the G3 tweak box.

I came here to ask this same thing...why would they remove a feature that we could toggle on and off?

In G3 Tweaksbox you can enable the status bar brightness slider under Theme > Status Bar > Enable Status Bar sliding (@ bottom of menu)
Note this isn't a slider in the drop down. You touch the status bar without dragging down and slide to change brightness.

I don't have that drag status bar to change brightness functionality on my d850.
I have the icon I can talk that has preset increments but I like to manually slide it sometimes rather than going into the settings.

They might have done this to fix the Chromecast System UI crash
I know it's not as simple, but if you long press on any of the toggles it brings you right to their settings. In the brightness slider case, display settings. Just in case people don't use tweaksbox.

I know, but thats more of a hassle, and I would rather have the slider. Maybe tweaks box will have that feature added to it.
As stated above, only way to get this functionality (somewhat) is to use G3 Tweakbox Xposed module on rooted phone. However this module only gives you ability to change brightness while sliding/dragging your finger on notification bar. Its not what you are looking for but serves the purpose just fine.
However I forgot if this option was enabled in free version of G3 Tweakbox or not. You would have to check yourself since I have already unlocked the premium version so can't go back to verify.

Yes, it is usable in the free version of TweaksBox.
if someone could pull the SystemUI.apk from the Korean variant and then drop your SystemUI.apk, it can be modded in...
this is partially what xda is here for.

I have tweaks box (paid version) but if I can get the system file that's even better.

Holy cow....ATT and their typical bull****. First the bloatware now this.
It makes absolutely no sense for them to remove such a useful feature. This reminds me of when ATT removed the mobile data toggle on the S4.
Either way, I hope someone will figure out how to add this feature back.
Did you guys try to tap the edit icon in the list of icons in the status bar? In there you can select the toggles you want in the status bar as well as enable volume and brightness Sliders.

As lennyuk said earlier, it might have something to do with Chromecast not working because of these sliders in the dropdown menu (some say so)

Yeah I realized that after some digging around. But still, I hope someone creates a mod that can add the codes back.

It's not there, I had a F400S so I remember where it was but here is a screenshot for those who still think it's there on the D850.

I requested the brightness slider to be added in the G3 Tweaks box and its there now. Didn't ask to have the volume slider added in though. Go to the thread for the app and request to have it added in.
