With the addon LMT, you can have PIE-like controls all the time (even without enabling "expanded desktop"). I'd been looking for a way to disable the hardware keys (was too lazy to figure out which keys to comment out) so I appreciate the guide samomamo. I'm going to give it a shot!

Where is Recent Apps Button???

OK, this worked (almost). How to change menu button in recent apps button? I get the same 3 buttons of hartware keys, back, home and menu, and I want recent apps, not menu.

Follow this steps:

Open this file as text in editor

Edit the menu button (139) and switch to "APP_SWITCH"

Hummm.... Yes. I remember now. You could consider installing this ROM I'm using. It's awesome. It's a port from g3 to g

Gravity Box module on Xposed framework can also enable the softkeys and disable the backlit of the hardware keys.

    I have the At&t version of Optimus G E970, I think this will work for any Optimus G.

    Not responsible for bricked phones.


    This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen buttons) , its very simple and easy...

    Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file
    qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
    now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4

    To disable hardware keys, I used root explorer go to system/usr/keylayout click and hold on kaypad.nl and choose from menu open in text editor and 139,158,172 edit the home to hom and do the same on all 3 lines and hit save and reboot,

    Plus I went and deleted all the 139, 158, 172 lines from external_kbd.kl, Generic.kl, MHLRCP.kl, osp3-input.kl and qwerty.kl. I dont know if that helps because I deleted them first then edited the lines in kaypad.nl.

    what for????
    why do i need to decrease screen size?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Well some people might want to play with it and get the nexus 4 feeling. Plus its feels smoother in my opinion.

    For what it is worth I find the software keys more ergonomic

    The hardware keys on this phone are to low and causes strain to hit them
