EDIT: wrong forums.

I have no idea how to change an existing ROM to do that, but if you're willing to change ROMs I know that codefireX allows for custom hardware button settings.

I was baffled for a moment, then realized I'm in the wrong forums. I thought I was in my phone's forums. Sorry about that.

Is there a way to disable the hardware buttons (home, search, back, menu) on the gtab? I find myself hitting them when I don't want to.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Button remapper app.
In fact, here it is.
Thanks for the link, goodintentions. It installed and opens up great.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to use this app to actually disable the hardware buttons on the Gtab. I'm running Vegan b5.1 (with supplement) and Clymsyn's kernel v6.
I've tried setting their state to 'none' and that didn't work... also tried searching the 'action' dropdown for a 'disable' or 'none' entry, but couldn't find one.
Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks.
You dont need to change the states, only the actions. Set it to Focus for all the home/search/back/menu you see. If you mess something up, it should allow you to restore the keys after you reboot

Button remapper works great when pared with button Savior. It gives you a placable tab that when touched brings up back, home, menu and search buttons. Really handy.
Oh and I remapped my gtabs buttons to be a dpad. It really helps when selecting links online.
Disable hardware buttons
Hi all, I downloaded the app, installed and set buttons to focus.
No joy, none at all.
Using Honeycomb, could this be the issue?
Or, does anyone know any other solution?

How do I set a button mapping to "None"? My "back" button is faulty, i want to turn it off completely. Is there a way?
Hello, I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149845
which comes from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980835
And I wonder if would it be possible to implement something like this on our beloved optimus one?, since it would be really cool to use volume or power buttons to shoot the camera, or maybe it could be the search button IDK, but any of theese would be nicer and more comfortable than tapping the onscreen button to shoot.
Of course I'm just a basic user and not a developer so I have no clue how hard would it be to do it.
Well, if you are a developer and you would contribute to our community with a mod like this, THANK YOU!
I've mentioned it on another topic, way back, many months ago...
Suggested that the key that HAS to be used for camera, is search button !!
By far the most practical way!
No developers found since then....
;S that's a shame, maybe it is not possible or developers don't read general forum... at least they could reply with a "there's no way to do that" or something
And yes, search button would be the best option

If you want the search key to function like the camera button here's what I did.
1. CM7 Settings edit search key to open Camera.
2. In Camera press your menu settings and go advance.
3. Press Use Settings Button for camera.
and what about froyo ?
the volume buttons are too ahrd. even if this is implemented taking pictures will not be easy and there will be alot of blur.

Even the volume keys would be more comfy that pressing and releasing the onscreen button, but as it is stated before the best option is the search button.

Hello, I was wondering if is there any way to make the Menu key (The one placed at the right of the home key) to work as the musltitask key on the nexus phone, I had installed a mod that enables the menu panel on the screen as in the nexus, so my phisycal key is useless and I want to map it as the multitask key , I hope you understand what I'm trying to say, if you don't please let me know
Thanks for your time!!!

First of all, what mod did you install? I want one too. Lol.
As for your menu key, if get any root file manager and go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and examine the .kl files there. As for me, mine is located at cyttsp_key.kl. You should see something like
Code:
# KEY_MENU, KEY_BACK, KEY_HOME
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 102 HOME VIRTUAL
Simply replace MENU with APP_SWITCH and you should be all set. I'm not sure if spacing is important but keep a backup of the original file first before modifying it just in case.

I don't like the galaxy-ish theme he put, I am just interested in the on-screen menu button, how does it look like? And can I flash with only the menu button on the mod? I mean I don't want the other changes, just the on-screen menu button. I've been trying to do the same thing you did for quite some time now too.

Is in every app I have on my phone (Tested them), Youtube, Calls, messages, quickpic, etc...
Btw, I'm editing my own framework res file only with these mods:
- On-Screen option (menu) button
- Action bar with text
- Fast Bluetooth turning On/Off
- Volume slider is moved to bottom (will make you easier to slide it with your finger)
- Notification toast is moved to top (everything's better if can be seen clearly )
So, if you want it I can share it or if you want the framework res with only the On screeen option button, just tell me

My sister has a Sprint GS4 and the menu button is broke (home also, but she has a soft home app, could not find a decent menu button, oddy enough).
I know that if the phone has no physical menu button, the app always puts one somewhere on the app. My question, is there a build.prop or similar to trick all apps into thinking the phone has no physical menu button so it will show in the app? Thanks, i hope someone can help. (Phone not rooted, but i can root it)

Button Savior-Non Root should work. It would be better to root it though as you have a lot more and better options, such as Pie controls with the LMT Launcher.
I actually did try that, but it was a very ugly interface. There's gotta be some system-wide setting that lets all apps know whether you have a hardware menu button or not, right?

Exactly, I can root it (I have CM11 on my own S4 so I have rooted before). I just wanted someone to tell me exactly what to change and I'll root it and do the modification.
I just don't want to root it if I can't find out how to accomplish the menu button.

Anybody knows ROM for Rezounds which have broken bottom buttons, where software buttons (like nexus 4 buttons) will be integrated and used by default.
You can say I can activate them in build.prop, YES - but thay will disappear after hardreset and also this can cause problems with image in some apps (for example when I have activated soft buttons in my LG LS970 it caused camera app to show decreased and shifted picture)
I seem to recall reading about an app that adds soft buttons. No idea what it was called though. Maybe try searching this thread and the general forum...
