big thanks to @janis605 for his work!

If it's not free it shouldn't be posted here. It's in xda rules

There is an XDA version
I'll just leave this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/root-softkeyz-apply-mix-softkeys-t2219804
So, since there is an XDA version, this is allowed. Of course, if you like the free version, support the dev.
Thanks,

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.

Is anyone using this on viper? The only thing that is changing for me is the splash effect. Nav keys are not theming.

Hey man how the heck are ya? Looks like you decided to go HTC to I see. I got fed up with the Note 3, and gotta say this was a great replacement.

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.
Thank you

Anybody already wasted his money for this app? You should have bought this one instead: GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys
You can also read about it here in this thread.

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.

Thought so. Sony's policy is the same as Samsung's if you want the latest firmware? Buy the latest device.

Double tap screen is cool too. I did, however, see a major change in battery life. I used to get 3 to 4 days and now I barely get one. Anyone else notice the same? I was wondering if it might be because I made a very busy custom watch face, but curious to see others' feedback...

I have about 3% battery drain every hour with a watchface with 5 widget.

I saw someone mention in another thread that it might be double tap to wake causing the drain. I just turned it off; will report back after a day or two.

I can confirm significant battery drain with double tap to wake turned on. I turned it off and my battery life returned to normal, even with 5 widgets on the watchface!

[APP] HTC Gesture Listener [concept]

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.
Download:
http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/HTCOneM8/
Source:
https://github.com/MohammadAG/HTC-Gesture-Listener
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
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Agreed just installed and is working perfectly! A brilliantly simple way of locking the phone!

Pretty cool. Awesome work.

Amazing! Although I would prefer that it only make the screen turn off the phone and go to sleep rather than just lock it. This will open up a lot of interesting development work though, I'm sure!

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?

For some reason I can't get this to work for me. I have 3 finger media gesture enabled. Is there anything else I'm supposed to do???

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.

[SHARE][APP][PATCH] DISABLE limiting brightness //THERMAL\\.

SHARING THE APP, ALL CREDITS GO TO TWEAKERS AND OPTIMIZERS ON GOOGLE PLAY, ANY ISSUES, PLEASE WRITE THEM IN THE PLAY PAGE OF THE APP LINKED DOWN BELOW.
FIX SYSTEM CONTROL ON DECREASED BRIGHTNESS TO PREVENT HEAT
The below issue is only present on lg custom roms from 4.2 and up, thermel controls the brightness to low it down to prevent heat, this app patches the thermal to remove some vlaues.
Some advanced users use the dialler to go to the hidden menu to disable the thermal, this app is very useful for simple and fast, also to tablets with no dialler.
Hey every one,
Today, I'm going to present to you an easy way to disable the auto lowering the brightness when in 100%, and make it sit for life-long...
It's an easy way...
I HAVE NOT DEVELOPED THAT APP!!!
Its BTW already there, but i want to share it with you guys!!
Q: What is it? A: its an app called "LGBrightnessPatcher"
Q: What it does? A: it restrict the system from getting brightness decreased, when slight heat.
Q: Require root? A: of course!
Q: Does it glue the brightness to 100%? A: No, you can adjust it from the brightness slider bar...
The app patches the brightness watcher and preventing it from changing the value when the screen gets 100% after an amount of time to let the device cool down, and not to get heat...
Other than that, the patching process would not take longer than 10 seconds!! and its totally safe!! i tested it myself!!
Instructions:
1. Root your device.
2. Install the app from the links down below.
3. Give root permission grant.
4. Touch on apply permanent patch.
5. Wait 5 seconds, got a toast massage?
6. Reboot.
7. Enjoy 100% brightness without limiting!!
Before download, let me thank the developer of the app, Tweakers and Optimizers who make that app possible!!
Its an genus app BTW!!!
Links, why? you'll find it in play store: LGBrightnessPatcher
Have a good day everyone! and get your G3 brighter, i mean stick at 100% all the time...
FEEDBACK guys, i tested it in LG G PAD V500, in stock 4.2.2 and 4.4.2, hope will work for the G3...
Press thank, rate...
15/04/2015: Looks like some folks have troubles installing the patch correctly, to fix the problem install busybox from play store.

tasker - minimize refresh rate of sensors?

I'm curious if there is a way to minimize how often tasker checks sensors for changes? for instance, I have a task set to silence notifications while face down, but it's not a time critical task for me. I wouldn't mind if it only checked every minute or so. thanks!
