Not sure what to search for but I have been looking for an app to replace the red and green sneer buttons. Can anyone suggest any?

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to remap the hardware keys. I want to do this because there is no dedicated search button on the SGS II so there is no way to utilize a quick compose feature from an app like Handcent SMS which designates Quick compose as a long press of the search button or the camera shutter button (SGS II has neither of the buttons.) Thank you
anyone know a solution?
once cyanogen mod hits the gs2, there'll be options to remap buttons etc, there working on the camera shutter button (use power to take picture). youll have a solution shortly after that

My apologies for bringing this thread from the grave but this issue has been bugging me from the beginning. I'm currently using CM7, could someone enlighten me how do I enable the long press menu function to activate the quick compose function. This is the only the thing
I miss from the iphone.
For anyone who is still looking for a solution, I have discovered that if you install LauncherPro you can assign the Long-Press menu button in CM7 to Quick Compose under the SMS app you use. Also for those that use widgetlocker I created an invisible button to activate quick compose as i couldn't figure out how to get the menu button to activate it in lockscreen.
I have an LG Optimus ME P350 Android phone that has a soft key for a back button, but I was wondering if it's possible to use the touch screen to go back instead of using the soft key? For example, when using Android 2.x I go into the default sms app and there is no onscreen button to go back, so I have to use the soft key button.
The reason I'm asking is because the soft key backlight doesn't illuminate when the touch screen is pressed, so at night when I am in the SMS app and I want to navigate backwards, I cannot even see the 'back' softkey because it doesn't illuminated. The soft key backlight only illuminates when you press them.
Here is a photo of the LG Optimus ME P350:

By on screen software do you mean this?:

This is just a keyboard for SMS. It does not provide a back button that applies to the entire phone and all Apps. For example, when I play a game and I want to go back, that keyboard won't be displayed will it?
In CyanogenMod there is an option to show screen softbuttons in "Improvements for tablets"
But I think you should go with your phone to service or something like this cuz using screen softbuttons is more like a workaround than the solution
here is softbutton app https://market.android.com/details?...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydC5zd2tleSJd
So there used to be an app called like button saver or something that allowed you to set on screen buttons for if you broke your phones hard buttons. I was just pretty much trying to find a set of custom on screen buttons that can be placed anywhere becuase I want my status bar up top but buttons on bottom for example.
Does anybody know of an app that has customizable on screen buttons?
I searched but unfortunately EVERY SINGLE result now is about "How do I get ICS onscreen buttons?" and app store nothing comes up.
Thanks

Button Savior.
Hi guys
just checking if anyone knows whether there exists a stand alone app that can be used to simulate the soft back key or the home key in the Android navigation bar? I am not refer to those virtual back button apps.
I am asking because the LG V10 does not have hardware keys but it has a secondary screen, I can put such Back Button App on the second screen and disable the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen (LG V10 can hide the navigation bar).
I know there is an app for Samsung Edge phone to support the back/home button on the Edge's second screen. unfortunately, that app is only for Edge phone.
I know in the Play store, there are many virtual back button apps. All of them will put a virtual button some where on the screen. that is not ideal for my purpose.
Please let me know if anyone knows or can develop one.
Thanks
Try LMT launcher. You can set up your own configuration and it doesn't block your screen at all - swipe from any portion you set up.

Thanks for the suggestion, I installed the Pie Control from Google Play store as the LTM launcher is not there.
The Pie Control serves the purpose well. awesome!
Thanks!
I hide mine, enabled when using the launcher, when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen it shows and you can use the virtual buttons. I prefer that over the other options.

I'm looking for this too. I installed MyHomeButton from the play store and was able to put a home and recent softkey on my second screen, but now I still need a back button.

All in one gestures on the playstore allows you to create a back soft key that you can add to the second screen.
really need a back button and home button.
I think they should have put a home button right where the big LG symbol is on the bottom of the phone.
@Amd4life Exactly! Why not use that extra hardware space to put in extra buttons? Home, back, recent apps, shortcut key...
I've tried a few of the call screen apps and they can replace the call screen, but there's no keypad. But they provide a keypad button in the call screen, but when you press it, it just takes you to the default call screen.
So now I'm wondering if it's even possible. Does anyone know of an app or xposed module that does this?
