good day, just wondering if there are other roms that give an option to use the nav keys? i'm planning to disable the capacitive buttons on my s3 and use the nav ones instead... so far i've read that the unofficial AOKP port can do this but i'm having second thoughts as the rom is having camera issues for some.
is there any other rom or launcher that can do this? thanks in advance for helping out a newbie. tried reading all of last night but the lack of search on threads (maybe not yet allowed on my account) makes it tough to do so
The Navbar is AOKP only for us.

I want to know if it is possible to get the ICS navigation buttons ported to our devices? I am running CM9, and I want the complete ICS look and I think having the navigation buttons would do just that so can someone help me get them?

A dev is helping me with that if it works I publish that
I really like the on screen customization of the Nexus on screen nav buttons, has there been any talk of a ROM implementing this?

I'm pretty sure Romans aokp can do this on the Samsung captavate so id guess when he gets it working for us that rom will have it, but mod for stock rom I doubt it ..
We're going to experiment with it in our Warm ROM.
Some details on the implementation are available here if you want to give it a shot.
hey guys, im loving my verizon galaxy s3 and i currently running a leak JB rom for it and like it but i miss AOSP i was on aokp and liked it allot but i hated how strong and long the haptic feedback is when pressing back and menu hardware keys as well as other keys that activate it.
i can control the power the the keyboard haptic feedback but cant figure out how to with the system stuff?
can someone please help me if theres an app for this or if i can edit a system file that allows me to do what i want? thanks
bump for the same request, I know there is Ktoonz kernel but I don't like to run custom kernels very much.
I know that this looks like it has been asked a dozen times, but I assure you that I have looked high and low and have installed literally 10 or so keyboards trying to compare features.
Here's what I am looking for (if it's possible):
Looking for a port of the keyboard that comes with AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone 1 or later. I know that there are tons of Jellybean keyboards out there and they even have gesture typing, but the one that comes with AOKP has the long press alternate keys exactly where I want them as well as the right selection.
I have tried the Google Keyboard from the Play Store and it doesn't have the long press alternates (aside for a select few that aren't labled).
Does anyone know how I can get this keyboard to work on my Note II? I have even gone so far as to extract it from an AOKP ROM and it loads fine, however the gesture typing does not work (just shows the gesture trail but doesn't type anything)
Is this at all possible? Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!

If AOKP is like the other AOSP Roms then the keyboard is the Google keyboard, unless they are using the older AOSP keyboard which is the same thing with a different name. AOKP may just use a different one but I doubt that.
Have you tweaked with the settings in the keyboard once installed to make sure the gesture trail is turned on?
You might get more help in the Themes section seeing how they deal with a lot of keyboards and mods for keyboards.

I tried everything. Gesture trail is turned on. The keyboard version is 4.2.2. Not really sure what else to do. Seems like maybe a lib file is missing or something.

Ok so I'm in the market for a large phone and I decided to get this one used. Spent about 200 on a decent one. Im planning on unlocking it and rooting it so that I can flash away. However I notice that you lose some features Samsung pushes when you refrain from stock ROMs ( i had a S2 and I would lose all those special features when switching to custom non stock ROMs). So does the same rule apply here in regards to the S pen?

There is like 1 or 2 custom roms with s-pen features. They are based on android version 4.1.2 and have touchwiz in the framework. Any 4.2 roms won't have touchwiz or s-pen features. The pen still works on them to write. But the button and gestures are limited.

you clearly have never flashed carbon, or cm10.1 ...
im not sure which others, but both of those support s-pen button gesture support, and allow for plenty of note apps from the market
Thanks were given to both of you. I can't wait until my note comes in. You guys have any tips or can you enlighten me on any persistent problems? Ill be using Tmo services on the Note btw.

Possible problems will depend on the roms/kernels and other mods that you are going to apply to your phone. It will be best for you to read and research the roms/kernels and other mods you are planning to use before diving in.
If you want stock-based roms, you can go to the dev section and try Padawan or Blackstar. They are both very popular.
Like Jamie mentioned, non-stock-based roms may have some/similar s-pen gestures. Some people prefer the stock s-pen setup, some don't. I personally used to prefer to stick with stock-based roms for the stock s-pen features, but not anymore. I just found that I can place a widget (google keep, evernote or sticky note, and others) or a shortcut to a note-taking app (papyrus) for quick note-taking.
I only use the pen for notetaking and drawing. The s-memo app is nothing to cheer for.
Since you spend most of your phone time doing other things, base your rom choice on the features that you like . . . and just use an app you like for notes and drawing.
Use papyrus and apex launcher for double tap on home screen and you will be fine
