[build.prop tweak] softkeys enabled

halaros2 · Nov 25, 2012

To all those who want softkeys enabled at their rom if they don't have that option you can edit build.prop ( it must work with most jelly bean and ics roms)

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Reboot
Softkeys enabled

I can see that option in the file. Is that mean I need to add this key in the file?

No mate you cant do that with this mod. To do that you need to modify other system file manually

purelook hd rom

I'm using purelook hd rom and it has xperia engine in it. Can't get the soft keys on it. Need help as I can't survive without these.

LMT

hi, as an alternative to standard softkeys, you could use the app LMT (requires root)

it supports gestures, expanded desktops and Pie Softkeys with long press function as in Paranoid rom and some more nice features

Could be interesting for some

Is there a way to customize the "Recent" soft key to "Menu"? When I added the script while using the CM10 rom, I could change them around in the navigation settings. I recently switched back to the stock JB version, but added soft keys because my hardkeys stopped working after I dropped it in a spa

Any advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers!

Is there any way to make the Soft Keys smaller.. (at least 50% smaller than its original size/height)... its because my phone (the Galaxy S Advance) has a resolution of only 480x800.... I just feel like there is not enough space on my screen to be honest, that's why I'm asking this....

(Post Added)
- I can't take Screenshots anymore, using my Home + Power Button

- My dialer app is getting covered with the Soft keys.. so I can't call anyone because I can't tap on the call button
