big thanks to @janis605 for his work!

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.

[Q] Moto G LTE reboots 8pm nightly

My Moto G LTE reboots most nights at 8:00 sharp all by itself. Does anyone know what app might cause that? I'm trying to live with it as a feature, but it is annoying, especially if I am using the phone.
The phone is unrooted. I had hoped that the recent OTA update would fix this problem but it did not.

Can you please post some screenshots of your app drawer? Maybe I can tell you which app does this.
You can also try to:
1) clear cache from recovery
2) disable the geo location before the usual time of reboot

I appreciate the reply. How do I do screenshots uprooted? I agree that knowing the apps would help.
Is the Locale app compatible? I use it with the Google Voice plugin because I'd paid for I t with my Galaxy Nexus. I may try uninstalling it for now to see if that fixes it.

Vol down button + power button to screenshot:good: press them for about 2 sec or it doesn't work.

I decided to return to factory state and start over. No reboots for the last two nights. I'll add apps back slowly.

Package Disabler Pro

I'm guessing there is a brand new bag of bloat to disable.
Does it even work, I'm talking to you reviewers.
I would like a baseline xml to use when I get the device.

T-Mo Update AQD9 from AQC9 ???

I postponed it. It's 392.14mb... I worry only because on my Note7 I updated right out of the box and was unable to root. Anyone know anything about this AQD9 update?

All I know is it supposedly kills the ability to remap the bixby button.

well I just updated but don't have Bixby remap so not sure if it brakes it or not

I didn't have it remapped before the update but all in one gestures doesn't even show the Bixby button.

You have to add a custom keymap in the menu press the button and it fetches the hardware ID to map.
I'm on T-Mobile. I did the update and my remap no longer works.

No menu key on S8 Plus

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.

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.
