Has anyone seen an app that will allow us to have our Honeycomb softbuttons and statusbar at the TOP of the screen instead of the bottom?
Whenever I try writing with my stylus my wrist is always hittin the buttons and it is maddening.
Try gmd gesture control. As workaround

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.
so the subject line says it all. whenever i am browsing a webpage with the keyboard dock, i use two fingers on the trackpad to scroll the page up and down but it sporatically zooms in and out (since the pinching gesture is similar). is there a way to scroll using the trackpad gestures without having the page go all wonky? many thanks!
I believe that you can touch twice in quick succession to activate a gesture paramount to holding an appendage to the screen of your device. After doing the aforementioned actions, slide your appendage across the trackpad to trigger the device to recognize a swipe.

hey thanks for the quick reply.. what im moreso looking for is how on my macbook, i could drag two fingers vertically over and over and the page itself would scroll but the cursor would stay in the same spot on screen. the method you gave me moves the cursor with the page so its close but not quite what i was looking for
thanks though, any other ideas?
I am using a Galaxy Nexus. Most of the time, keys on the navigation bar are not touched by accident. But when playing a game I often touch the soft key accidentally. Because many games require to touch controls on the edge of the screen, which is very close to the navigation bar. iOS, on the other hand, does not have this problem, because apps use the full screen, and there is one hardware button. Also, I often accidentally swipe up from the bottom to launch Google Now, when actually I wanted to scroll up. There is no menu to disable that swipe up action, except disabling the Google Now. I want to use Google Now but not by swiping up. I would prefer just a icon on my home screen to launch Now.
I already saw some custom ROMs have a feature to toggle the navigation bar, but I think there must be some official solution to this. The solutions I can think of;
1. The custom ROM way. Add toggle menu to the power menu.
2. Make the buttons as physical buttons not capacitive buttons.
3. Add another physical key on the side to enable/disable navigation bar.
4. Swipe from left to right on the navigation bar to lock it. Swipe again to unlock it.
5. Long pressing Home toggles the navigation bar. On first long press, the home button is changed to a lock icon. To unlock the bar, long press the lock icon.
6. Or Google Now is launched by long pressing of the multitasking button.
What do you think? Do you have the same troubles?

You can kinds of disable it using SwipeLaunch Disabler.

Honestly probably all nexus owners experience this problem although I personally give it up for awesome stock launcher and features and being able to easily hack it.

I'm trying to find a keyboard shortcut for my Nexus 7 2013 that will trigger the Recent Apps screen to come up. I know that ALT-TAB will let me scroll through the recent apps list, but that's not what I'm looking for. What I need is a keyboard shortcut that behaves exactly like the Recent Apps button on the nav bar, just bring up the Recent Apps screen and sit there and wait for more input. And this needs to be a keyboard shortcut that doesn't require me to hold a key down. I've been searching for hours and can't find a way to make this happen.
If you use a mouse with your keyboard then try an overlay software like easy touch. You can set it up so that double-click triggers the recent app or whichever way you use. Just play around with the settings. Or you can try Navigation Bar; that is a better alternative to assistive touch
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...
