So title says it all....is there anyway to disable the soft buttons? I give my phone to my boy so he can watch videos and movies but he hits a button every time. Not sure if there is a hack to disable them since I have pie or on screen soft buttons to use.

This should work for you.. not that simple since you need to modify your build.prop(meaning I don't believe there is app, but you can search)
Also, in the nicest way possible, Q&A thread my friend

As long as permissions are the same and you rebooted for the changes to take effect you should be good to go

Two options that work good in my opinion.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zoodles.kidmode

Kid lets you block access to apps selectively. So no web browser or play store from angry birds etc.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.kidslock

And if you are using mx player for movies, then lock them into the app with this plug in.

Good luck, kids are much smarter than they appear with these devices!
