[Help] On-screen buttons - Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps

I've had an accident to my g3, i dropped it and no buttons work now except for power button (phew). Anyway, i need some kind of on-screen button (like galaxy nexus) can anyone give me a link to an app that does just this or a flashable tweak that allows onscreen buttons (remember, no recovery because of volume buttons, i can go into downloadmode thanks to adb)
Thanks!

flash latest ics (has on screen buttons for recovery) and then you can use ics lancher from syndicate which also has onscreen buttons i think

Will try, thanks!

So it is with me also, can some help me..? I can not use any keyboard on x8 except default...
First of all install this keyboard, then go to settings/language and keyboard/there you will find your keyboard, select it. Then go (for example) to writing message, long touch on writing screen and select Gingerbread keyboard. That's all! Nothing difficult!

It seems to happen rarely, but it does happen. All you need to do is press the home+power button to do a screen shot and the power button should start working properly.

I had the same problem running SHOstock ROM + Siyah. I assumed it was the ROM, but maybe I'm wrong. I have not had a problem running Stock + Siyah.
Pressing home+power fixed it for me too... Some times it took several tries to disable it.

Edit: my phone has tilt disabled, but if I face the screen down and hit the power Button, it also takes a screenshot. Is that a shortcut? Like the brightness slider for the menu bar (swiping your finger to adjust brightness left/right)
I did a hot reboot and t went away. It was annoying because I use my power button to on/off the screen (I have my screen on time set to 10 minutes)

Shake or Volume Wake?

Sick of mashing my power button all day. Is there a non-root method of a shake or at least volume wake/unlock? The one thing I really miss about my iPhone 4 is that one button in front that I didn't have to hunt around for.
Install a different lock screen like go lock or something similar with the volume wake option
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Thanks, but that only works with Go Launcher EX... Hoping for a solution that's standalone.
Widget locker has that option
Lockbot also.
This function holds a wakelock btw. You coukd see a huge difference in battery life
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Thanks! I tried these... Lockbot just doesn't work at all on my Note. No lock functions, regardless of method. There are some complaints on the play store about this, so it might be a bugged rev.
Tried Widget Locker before and it was such a clunky mess that I deleted it. Couldn't find any shake to wake feature, but if it really does need to be a wake lock that drains the battery then it's not worth it anyway.
Maybe someday I'll switch to the an International model with home button.
Have you tried SHAKE 'N ON WIDGET, it works on mine, just gotta put the widget on HOME screen
Cm9 has volume wake built in

I used widget locker when I was on stock. Pretty sure you can disable stock lock screen under security settings.
You say it was clunky, but I never had problems with it. It did take a bit of tinkering to get it set up first time perfectly. But volume wake worked on stock Rom if I recall. It's also one of the only ones not just trying to sell ridiculous themes which is sometimes refreshing. There are huge theme that's on xda. Tesla is a good dev. Also devs one of the best launchers, nova.

[App] Galaxy Reboot Tools

Galaxy Reboot Tools
This is a little project I have had done for sometime now and now it is time for some feed back. It is just a simple app to reboot ect and some other cool stuff to go along with it.
Also this has been tested on the Note 3 Note 2 and Galaxy S 4
I would like to thank fernando sor and pvyParts for all the help these guys give. They are some amazing guys and I love working with them.
Download link (Download from your computer the link isn't working on mobile atm thank you)

I will give my opinion.
It was nice that you tried to compile the frequently used features of a phone into an app, but these features are also available in the phone itself (pressing power button, volume keys. etc.)
What you could do though (as a suggestion) is to have a very useful widget that has all the features that you have in your app. It makes it more accessible especially even in the homescreen.
As i said...this is only an opinion and a suggestion.
Hope it helps in any way.

Well sir widgets are in the plains for this app,and some people that flash Roms a lot actually like not having to put the strain on there power button all the time. For me now that I've built this app I've use it all the time. Plus learning how to reboot the phone into recovery has opened the door for other apps I have coming soon. Thanks for the feed.

[Q] Custom Keyboards - Plz Help.

I think I've downloaded about a dozen keyboards, googled a million images, but I can't find what I want.
Why do they all have stupid keys and menus in additional rows that I can't remove nor do I need taking up my screen space.
I think Go Keyboard was about the worst.
This one isn't too bad because the keypad size is adjustable but I still don't need their stupid menu keys.

I just want a fully functional keyboard that looks clean.
Predominantly white.
And I do want the ability to add the arrow key row.
Scalable keys / keypad is also a plus.
I don't want big keys.
I don't want big spaces between keys.
I don't want 3d or bevelled keys.
I don't want additional keys or menus.
Can someone plz help.

I like it, but i cant find any option for swipe input or the arrow keys?
Are there feature unlocks in the trial upgrade?
There's no next word prediction?
And you have to type the full word and space just to get prediction for the current word?
