It uses the device buttons. I believe its just the Galaxy Nexus that uses the on screen buttons. Once some custom roms come out based on official ICS update, you can flash the on-screen button. I flashed it on LPH a while ago and had the on-screen buttons if thats what you want. But it feels like you have less screen space since you have device buttons as well as on-screen using that mod.
But to answer your question, the SGS ICS uses device buttons on official build
Thanks for the reply.
Rather use the device buttons and have full screen display.
Glad to hear its possible,
read somewhere ICS allowed on screen buttons only, glad that is not the case.

They are there, they're just on the screen now instead of below it. Honeycomb uses an on-screen navigation bar and does not officially support capacitive navigation buttons. In order to get the capacitive buttons back, you'll have to wait for a ROM that enables them, wait for ICS, or downgrade back to Gingerbread.
you really think they r going to port ics over soon

1. The LEEDroid custom HC ROM has the option to turn the hard buttons back on, but of course they are redundant and you cannot turn off the system bar on screen.
2. No ICS will not be soon, not functional anyway. There are some bootable SDK builds of ICS out there for some devices, but that's just for play. Lots of things like the touch screen don't work and you need the OEM to provide some stuff before a working build or port can be done. Once HTC has a working released ROM for a device (say EVO) with similar hardware a useful port might be possible.

No, not officially from HTC/Sprint. There's no guarantee that it will ever receive it officially. I'm sure the developers here will work on something as soon as they're able to, but there's no time frame on that. Probably later rather than sooner.

Hello,I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to disable the light on the capacitive buttons after installing CM9 with soft button mod? Thanks and sorry if this has been covered.
There is an app called Screen Filter in the play store that enables you to turn off the key lights. It works for me and you should go check.

I use Screen Filter too and it's pretty simple... You just have to open the app everytime u turn on or reboot ur gp.

I think if you have the AOKP ROM then theres a option there to disable them manually
Here is my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374233
It should work on every rom/stock.
thanks guys, I am using screen filter now and it is working - though I dont think it worked for me on GB. Also, I will try to get LEDKill working as a permanent solution.
I dont think I am using the AOKP rom, I am just using the CMP for SGP 5.0 USA rom from the dev section. Does the AOKP rom happen to have working bluetooth? For that matter, do any of the the ICS roms have working bluetooth?
bluetooth isnt working in any ics/cm9/miui room cuz all are based on cm9 where bluetooth isnt working
I updated my AT&T Galaxy S II I-777 last night and everything seems to be working great except for a delay in haptic feedback and general action when pressing the Home button. Anybody else having this issue with the new update, or have any idea why this may be? Possible fixes? Thanks.

You have not really provided enough info for people to help you.
You need to provide:
What ROM are you loading.
How you loaded it.
What Version.
etc.
Also I would suggest searching the forums and putting this in the proper thread
for the ROM you are loading (you will get much better help that way).
But dude she said....she updated her sgs2 last night....so wouldnt u assume she meant the new upgrade? And as far as haptic feedback home, yes there is a slight delay.

I'm a dude. I updated from stock 2.3.6 to stock 4.0.3 via Kies, manually by clicking (tools), (update and restore firware) entering the model number and the serial number putting g the phone in download mode and updating. Every other button is immediately responsive like they all were before the update. Only the home button takes about a half second to respond and to feel the haptic feedback.
Quickly double press home button. Does it open voice assistant or something? If yes, it has the same problem as 2.3.4 stock rom.

Thank you for the further info.
I am not experiencing what you describe, but I also
updated via the standard update method in Kies.
My phone is a bit snappier over all. The only real item that is slower is the
transition from the home screen to the applications menu and back again.
I'd like to invite you over to This thread, a few of us are running it and someone there may have a better answer.

I also used the standard method of Kies coming from rooted KH7 and process went fine...I am using Apex launcher for more of an ICS look and when disabling the "fly-in" animation the home button response is instant.
Two days ago I updated from stock gingerbread 2.3.6 to stock ICS 4.0.3 via Samsung kies. The update wouldn't show up after plugging the gs2 in so I did the manual method by navigating to 'tools', 'update firmware...', and entering the serial number and model number, putting the phone in download mode and proceeding with the update. It went fairly smooth and I like some of the new features but the home button is noticeably slower to respond to touch. The 'menu', 'back', and 'search' buttons are all immediately responsive, including the haptic feedback. The haptic feedback on the 'home' button is annoyingly slow to respond. Everything else with this update seems to be in order but this home button issue is very annoying. I turned off vibration which makes it more bearable but I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue or knows a possible fix for this. Thanks for your time.

My best suggest would be, root that SOB and install a custom rom. Not many people will probably be able to help you on here (being xda and everyone most likely running custom stuff). If you like the stock, I suggest checking out rooted versions of the latest ICS release. Good luck, wish i could help you better
Greetings my fellow XDA experts,
I have a Galaxy S2 (i9100) International version on the NeatROM 4.8 ( XXLSW). What has happened is that my Softkeys are dead and unresponsive.
There is no illumination and response from them. So I have a phone without the menu and back buttons, which implies that I have a f**ked up iPhone like phone with just one Home button to function with.
I took the phone to the service center and they said it's a single piece with the display so the entire display would need to be replaced which is unreasonable and needless since the display works absolutely perfect.
So I was thinking of a remedy in terms of the ROM I use with the phone. Is there any custom ROM available for the S2 which would enable me to use a part of the display as the MENU and BACK buttons itself ? Like the Nexus 4 has ? I don't mind losing out on screen space to enable me to get those buttons back.
Please do suggest me any such ROM's or methods through which I can use the phone without having to change a fully functional touchscreen display. Spending so much just to get the Soft key functionality back is plain ridiculous and a pure manufacturing drawback from Samsung. Yuck
Anyways, please do help with any pointers.
Thanks and Cheers !

You'll be hard pressed to find a 4.2.2 ROM that doesn't have some sort of on-screen control. Do a bit of searching around on XDA of all the 4.2.2 ROMs, look at screenshots etc. Navigation bar is the same style as a Nexus 4. Pie controls are a method of on-screen control. AOKP ribbons are also for on screen control. There's probably more. Then there exist ROM's which attempt to mimic the AOSP, Nexus-style experience. Plenty to choose from.

So basically My ROM territory is now limited to any 4.2.2 AOSP/AOKP Rom's ? Do all of them have on-screen navigation?
Like the Parandroid? No more Sammy Rom's obviously.

Hmm well I imagine you could find some lower than 4.2.2 with those controls if you wanted to, but no need to if you don't want. You can use ParanoidAndroid if you want, search my posts for a link for i9100, I posted it yesterday or the day before I think. It won't be the first link you find on Google thats for sure, version 3.6 is the latest. As far as 'limited to 4.2.2 AOSP/AOKP'.... Depends how you see it. I don't see it as a 'limitation'. Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23231772. Go through AOKP and AOSP till you find something you like. Bear in mind that the AOKP contains waaay more than just plain AOKP, there's hybrid (combos of CM,AOKP,PA, AOSP usually) and all sorts in there.
Enable Navigation Bar in AOSP/AOKP roms etc for getting these functions back.
Alternatively if you want navigation bar in Sammy Roms you can still have them , look for soft key enabler in play store or else you can edit build.prop of your phone , there will be option of soft keys , change it from 0 to 1.
Use pimp my rom it have a option for on screen buttons (back menu and recents) so you can have any rom

S2 soft keys not working
Issue seems to be related to the usb charging receptacle. As long as a good charging cable is connected, the soft keys work. They work for a short time after unplugging and then stop working again.
