So I'm on rooted stock CM 11S (would like to stay on 11S cause it's running so great and smooth). I don't use the capacitive keys nor the on screen nav bar, I use LMT launcher (which is indispensable, IMO , with this big beautiful phone). One problem, when typing on the keyboard (I use SwiftKey) I often inadvertently hit the capacitive home button when pressing the space bar. Now I know you can disable the capacitive keys on some custom roms, but is there a way to do it on 11S? Maybe with Tasker, but I couldn't see a way to do it. Maybe with Xposed, but I'm using ART (and loving it). Any ideas? Thanks!
I don't have the phone yet, but yes you can. In fact, it is, kinda, one of the selling points: choice.

Yeah, you can choose between on-screen nav bar or capacitive ones but I am not using either one (again, I'm using LMT launcher). So, the capacitive keys are enabled (specifically the home key as you can actually disable the back and menu key in settings by assigning their short press action to "none") and, again, when I type I often accidentally hit the home key and it takes me out of what I'm doing.

Disable Capacitive buttons, then disable software buttons with other tools (there is one, but can't remember the name now though) ,???, profit.

Yeah, I thought of that but I'm using ART runtime.
You can use expanded desktop leaving the status bar visible. The soft keys will show if you drag from the bottom of the screen though.

How do you leave the status bar visible with expanded desktop? Don't think you can with stock CM11S. Plus, when you bring up the keyboard the hidden nav nar automatically comes up with expanded desktop.

Yep that's true. It's under the display and lights menu and shows as expanded desktop style. Oh you can turn off backlights and edit the keylayout file.

Why not go back to Dalvik, ART is not final yet and it almost doesn't make any difference. I tried both but didn't see any advantages of ART just disadvantages of not be able to do some customizations, like you want to do now.
Using Root Explorer (or CM file manager w/root), navigate to System > usr > keylayout, and open Generic.kl and put "#" before those lines

There has to be a way to hide the status bar. obviously in numerous diff launchers, there is the option to swipe up or down to hide/bring back your noti bar. the noti bar lies within the systemUI.apk (or so i can tell via switching themes). anyone know how to edit the xml that allows for hiding the noti bar? it looks sick when i adb push the systemui.apk and it dissappears. Help!
the statusbar has the home, back, menu keys built in; its probably a bad idea to hide it
I was thinking about this also. It would be nice for apps to go true fullscreen and overlap the status bar. Maybe its an app issue but Remote RDP Lite makes it awkard as when I set the resolution to 1280x800 the bottom part actually gets covered by the status bar.
I suppose I can set it to be like 1280x750 or something...

this would likely require use of a hardware button, since I dont think android CAN support gestures that work over all apps, and I cant think of any other input method you could use
edit: wouldnt be a bad use of the power button since the battery is good enough without it needing to sleep and the lockscreen is sort of pointless because its not in your pocket. Maybe a popup menu on the power button like on phones?
I'd like the ability to move the status bar to the top. This would make it easier to access when I'm holding it with my left hand and resting it on my legs. Right now, if I move my left hand to hit back or home, I then need to grab my xoom with my right hand to keep it steady.
One option would be to use the up down volume keys to move the status bar up or down. Volume could be handled more easily from the notification tray, it isn't as necessary as on a phone to have an alway accessible volume button.
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!

Venom Tweaks>Buttons>Soft menu bar
Same screen also has the button remaps for the "Recents" button.

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

DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK
Requirements
1)android 4.0.4 or above
2)xposed installer
3)xposed additions module
4)gravitybox module according to android version
Procedure
Side load xposed installer apk and install framework
1)check both gravitybox and xposed additions in xposed installer modules
2)reboot
3)In gravitybox navigate to navigation bar tweaks and enable masterswitch also check enable navigation bar option
4)reboot
5)Go to xposed additions and choose remap buttons
6)add new button
7)now touch your required button and hit ok
8)In settings select one touch action as disable
9)Repeat this for all 3 buttons
10)reboot
Now you will have onscreen buttons as a nexus device enjoy
If you want capacitive buttons just uncheck both modules in xposed modules.
HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON

It will work with kitkat, but most kitkat roms have on screen buttons.

Hi, I've got a Samsung Tab S 10.5 and I'd like to disable capacitive buttons ONLY in portrait (due to continously hitting them with hand holding the tablet) on the fly. Is there a way to set for a button a conditional trigger situation?
No

I only have Long press delay on my setting. I don't see any one click or double click. My goal is to set my Back button to long press because I am experiencing phantom back button presses. My android version is 4.2
I'm running Android P DP2. I can't get the rotate button to appear in the nav bar. I've tried it in GMail, Inbox, Chrome, and several other apps. I've tried it with auto-rotate enabled and disabled. Has anyone found a setting to enable the button in the nav bar?

As far as I know it only appears when auto rotate is disabled. Working fine here. It's a very small button maybe you're just not noticing it.

I've tapped all along the nav bar and nothing activates, so even if it was invisible for some reason, I should have hit it, but saw no activity or touch indication until I get to the back triangle or home button...

It only stays on the navbar for around 2 seconds then disappears. It is noticeable as it has a small animation. Don't know why it shouldn't show on yours. Have you tried rebooting the phone & trying again.

Several times.
I am also facing the same issue on my Pixel 2 XL, using the official Android 9.0 stable build.
Just curious, did you modify your nav bar in any way before updating to the developmental build? Because I did (swapped my Back and Recent buttons), and I am not sure if that was the cause.
Changing nav bar buttons order with Android Pie
With Android Pie a new contextual button appeared in the navigation bar. If you swap buttons without mentioning this new one it will disappear. In order to save it you should issue something like this:
adb shell 'settings put secure sysui_nav_bar "space[0.74],recent;home;back,contextual[0.48]"'
What in square brackets fine tunes the position of recent and back buttons (values above seem nice to me for Xiaomi A2 lite).
Reset to default would be by means of
adb shell 'settings put secure sysui_nav_bar ""'
As most new users. I keep hitting the home button. I'm using SwiftKey. I tried the other two keyboard too.
I've tried turning on auto hide nav bar - but the keyboard is the only app that DOESN'T work with it.
I thought I could just disable one click home... No such option.
Installed gravity box - also no option.
Even if i could just move home left or right 1cm of be happy.
Any help you can offer is appreciated.
Edit :spelling
I have this problem too... Caused from writing too fast :laugh::laugh:

TBH, I used to be like that too. Had even slaved multiple functions to long presses of the Nav bar buttons. I was a hardcore NavBar-ist
Then I switched to gestures, and after swearing loudly - multiple times + continuously - while acclimatising to the entire idea, now that I'm used to it I really can't think of using any phones with Nav Bars any more.
Plus you get the bonus of NEVER getting NavBar Burn-In.
(And, TBH, I'm actually finding that the OP6 way of doing it a bit more intuitive then the Pie "pill" gestures, but eyyy that's probably just me)
ROOT option
ROOT - exposed - and "Custom Navigation Bar" module. which will let you do what ever the **** you want with navbar, including layout of buttons, and their possition
