There are several apps on the playstore and several xposed mods that will enable on screen keys (navbar) if that is what you require but I don't know of any apps that will disable the hardware keys

Lets Get this Note 3 party started!
The LG G2 has the knock on feature by stock default, called "KnockOn" since it has its only buttons on the back.
I currently run an app called PGM along with Fancy Kernel on my Galaxy Nexus this provides the same functionality.
Phone on desk in sleep mode, screen off. TAP TAP! on the screen and she wakes up.
Hoping we see this implemented on the Note 3 as its a feature that everyone loves and uses all day long.
Does your Galaxy Nexus suffer battery loss because of using that feature?
Sounds cool, I wouldn't mind that feature does it require root?

It will very likely drains the battery a bit

I have installed it in my brothers nexus 4...app is called touch control
Battery drain is very minimal
Needs root and custom kernel

The Note 2 and 3 has a home button that will wake the screen, so I see no need for me to use a knock-on feature..
I have it right now on the Note 2 using a different kernel and trickster mod app. Only issue is that if your pants have a thin inner liner your leg will turn on the phone. Same thing happened when I first did it on the Verizon Nexus. So it's not phone specific.
I'm sure that issue can be rectified with some enhancmenets for example :
- While Offscreen, reduce screen sensitivity
- If Offscreen AND touchwake event occurs, check light and proximity sensor, if both are dark and proximity==1 DO_NOT_WAKE_SCEEN
- Etc.
As for the dude who said the home button wakes the screen, that might be true,
but When you handle the Note with one hand, it is very uncomfortable to click the home button, skipping it would be awesome.
There was no appreciable drain on the galaxy nexus.
sounds interesting going to give this a try. As so for why we need it when we have a physical button? Because of its size. You don't have to reach all the way to the bottom to press the home button.

in the note 2, what kernel?
thx
I would like to have it in my Note 3 that has sview cover. I like to knock the s window to open. I don't like to touch the hard keys all the time.

I really hope Samsung implements this natively.
was hoping someone on XDA would come up with an app or something
(do I really need to flash a new Kernel for this? :/)
This would be cool, it would also extend the life of the hard keys.

Yeah hope they put it in natively

is there anywhere we can put forth suggestions to Samsung? haha
I really don't understand why aren't the companies making more use of gestures on the phone...
double tap at the top of the screen to scroll to the top
double tap at the bottom to scroll to the bottom
etc
Yeah if its in a custom rom or kernel then it must be good

But isn't clicking the home button (1 click) more efficient than knock on (two clicks)? From what I've read about knock on on the LG g2, it's not awfully reliable as well.

Has anyone figured out how to disable the capacitive buttons? I'm using lmt pie controls and don't need or want the factory capacitive buttons which keep accidentally getting triggered.
I tried some of the steps for disabling them on the note 3 and other galaxy devices, but the keymapper.pl. file doesn't exist on the notepro...

Update: I figured it out, I commented out keys 158 and 254 in the generic.kl file, similar to the instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40713735

You could use gravity box thru xposed, go to pie controls, disable navigation keys
I just read about gravity box for the first time on the lmt thread, I'll have to check it out. [Edit] preliminary research tells me gravity box won't work on a touchwiz ROM...

Xposed additions! Version 2.3 works best if recent versions don't work for you. He is still investigating some issues with version 3. I use this to do some disabling on my son's tab pro 8.4

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

I'm rooted and willing to try any possible app.

I have been habitual of it but seems like Samsung has completely removed it or am I not able to find it.
Long press on back button doesn't works.

They got rid of the dedicated menu key years ago. I want to say with the s6. Possibly even the s5. Recents/multi window just made more sense

No idea about after the 5, but long press recents on the S5 brought up the menu.

Check may be you can change it in settings I can access menus because in many apps I'm habitual of using it.

The keycode for the menu button is still active though and if you're rooted you can use it with the following code:
input keyevent 82
Then just use a pie/gesture/ISAS to launch...or remap another button, etc...
?

You all just solved my issue on the S6...
I used to have a ( : ) on apps that would simulate the menu button. Then I upgraded the custom rom to 6.x.. lost that and couldnt figure out the "Menu Button"
So to answer, just tested. Its Long Press the "Back" button will trigger the menu button.
