I used to have a Galaxy S on t-mobile and loved it. Recently picked up the razr and the one thing that is really annoying is that the notification bar "swipe down menu" from the top of the screen has no buttons to turn gps on/off, etc.
Is there any way to get these buttons on here?
No idea why in the hell they would omit that feature....

That's a cm 7 feature as far as I know. Never had it on a stock phone.

It's actually a TouchWiz (Samsung's Android skin) feature that Cyanogenmod incorporated. Bottom line: not stock Android, and not on Motorola's skin.
cm? Cyanogyn mod?
Now that i think of it i did have a custom rom flashed on there but i know it wasnt cyanogyn, it was one of the stock ones with voodoo on it so it would run faster.

Galaxy S has the options in the pulldown by default; most ROMs will incorporate it, though, since it's a nice feature. It's not something in stock Android, though.
Best thing for now is the power control widget till our phones can get bootloader unlocked and development for roms can begin. I too had that previous. I just use thd widget for now
Available in the Market as always for example via Widgetsoid.
How many times will I have to say that for people to understan, unbelievable.

Widgetsoid seems like a great app with a lot of potential and nice customization features, but on the Razr you can't toggle directly from the notification bar with it. Instead clicking on the toggle icon will popup another window to toggle the setting on or off. That and I haven't been able to change the colors of the toggles in the dropdown so that it's readable.
Notification toggle is the closest I've found. Each toggle takes up a line but you can actually turn the item on or off straight from the dropdown.

How do you access the menu??
Awww! Damn!!!!! I wish I would have seen this last night when I started doing the EPM myself. Following how dman did his for LC5. Thanks brother, now I don't have to suffer the headache of finishing the mod. Yeah! :thumbup:

Just curious, who downvoted and why? Did they have problems?
I think this mod changes some things. The letters on the send button of stock sms are two tier. "Se" is on one line "nd" is on another.
Two different lines. I also could not take a screen shot with S-pen or bring up S-Memo Lite . Maybe I will go back and try to finish my EPM mod.
Can anyone confirm these bugs described?

I just reloaded the rom and s-pen works now.. I hardly use the s-pen so i didn't think to try it out. I edited the origin post with this new information. Definitely work on your mod so we can have full s-pen functionality and the convenience of the extended power menu
eb8806 said:
I noticed the send button on messaging a while after i posted it. I can live with it. For some reason i have not been able to use the s-pen to pull up the s-memo app from the homescreen or to take screenshots since i started using UCLE2. I double tap on the screen and it just pulls up the apex launcher settings & when i hold the button on the s-pen and press down on the screen nothing happens. THis was before i flashed this extended power menu.
Did yours work before flashing this? I would like to get s-pen working on the UCLE2 rom on my phone.

You can change that setting within Apex settings, just uncheck the option and it won't pull the menu up anymore.
The reason why nothing works is because this flashes the S2 framework replacing the Note Framework.
2 completely different Framework.APK
Its not made for the Note.

Works for me
sent from team perfections ics rom
Soft key mod for CM9DX2
What this mod will do:
1. Enable on screen soft keys.
2. Disable button backlights.
While looking for a fix for this I stumbled on this app: Button Remapper
Unfortunately this app will not work on our device. I think that I can manually do remap them to work how the app works. But this would mean that everybody would use the buttons for the same thing. I was thinking of using them as media buttons as in menu=previous song home=play/pause back=next song.. let me know what you think.
If you want your hardkeys mapped a certain way just ask nicely! Maybe I can do it for you.
As always.. **Flash at your own risk**
Credits:
Evilisto for a great writeup on how to enable them.
Go thank mattmanwrx for helping me with the framework.apk
motcher41 for some help on the updater script.
Many people on xda for threads that I seached through.
Most of all.. DZK for giving us CM9!
How to flash:
Like any other mod.
1. Boot into recovery.
2. Make NANDROID backup!
3. Wipe dalvik/cache. (NO NEED TO WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET )
4. Flash zip.
5. Reboot.
CM10
Alpha 3
CM9
Beta 1 softkeys
Beta 1 disable
MIUI 2.8.10
2.8.10 enable
2.8.10 disable
By going to:
Settings >
System >
Navigation bar >
You can edit and add or remove features of navigation bar. Thanks again dark_system for pointing this out.
Hardkey remap (these will work for all versions even though they are labeled for alpha 4)
Flash this after softkey mod if you want your hardkeys to be media buttons:
Menu= Previous song
Home= Play/pause
Back button= Next song
Please note:These will work while screen is OFF, so if you have issues with hitting the buttons while your phone is in your pocket I do not suggest flashing. I did it this way because I play music off of my phone a LOT and I do not want to wake it every time I wanted to go to the next song.
This zip will do the same as above, but will also use the search key as a camera button like the one on a droid x for example.
This one is made for gamers. It will turn your hard keys into dpad keys.
Menu= Dpad left
Home= Dpad up
Back= Dpad down
Search= Dpad right
And here is the zip for the stock hardkeys so you can try out both the mod and hardkey zips and flash back to stock easily.
The mods here will come from the thread in jsgraphicart's post in this post. Just to be clear, this is not my work, it is work of the developers who make the originals in that thread.
I am not going to make a zip for every one of the mods, but if a couple people request it I can get one made.
Newest MIUI softkeys come with the robotov2 style.
I have made a zip for CM9 Beta one and ParanoidAndroid using the ics blue reflection. (Although the PA one looks funky, not sure about the others yet)
CM9 Beta 1- Will only work if you already have the softkey mod installed.
ParanoidAndroid
You can also do this yourself, it is not very hard.
1. Take one of the softkey mods for your rom.
2. Unzip the files and navigate to system/app/SystemUI.apk
3. Extract the SystemUI.apk files and navigate to res/drawable-hdpi
4. Unzip the mod with the softkey you would like and navigate to the folders with the softkey images.
5. Move the images from the you want into drawable-hdpi.
6. Rezip all contents of SystemUI.apk.(assets, meta-inf, androidmanifest, ect.) Make you have .apk on the end.
7. Place your new SystemUI.apk back in system/app and delete what was leftover.
8. Rezip the contents of the mod and sign using this tool.
9. Flash and enjoy.
Thanks glad someone is working on this, hope you can get it straightened out.

Yeah, I don't understand why that happens. I didn't touch anything other than change the nav bar value to true and add a few png files to system ui. Looks alright in landscape, it's hardly useable in portrait though. I'm trying to find a fix in the thread that I got the directions for this from and it seems like there are a lot of people that posted with the same problem but none posted a solution, at least that I could find.

If you did try to flash you could have just reflashed cm9 without wiping data.
Also, I'm glad you made a backup.. But the op does states that the zip was only tested on alpha 3.
Sent from my MB870 using Tapatalk 2
Look forward to it. I can deal with that stuff I just hate my hard buttons
I love the soft buttons, and can't wait for them to be done for Alpha 4, but curious, is there any way for them to be located on the bottom at all times(Portrait or Landscape Mode)?
I don't think so, that's the way they were designed. I googled to see if there was any kind of mod out there that would do this and I couldn't find anything. It's probably possible, but I don't think anybody wants to put in that much time.

What is your DPI set at? I dont know how android works behing the scenes but maybe the settings app has changed to tablet version because of the DPI. I know my TouchPads DPI is set to 140. I think phones have a higher DPI though.

Well I am in the process of sbf and re-installing cm9 after flashing this mod.
Not sure what I did wrong but it just hangs on cid at boot-up.
Be cautious with this mod!

Hmm I haven't had any problems flashing back and forth. And you shouldn't have to sbf, recovery should still be installed, you should either have a nandroid backup or you can flash cm9 again with wiping only cache and dalvik.
Now which file were you trying to flash and which version of cm9 were you on? And what steps did you take.
Sent from my MB870 using Tapatalk 2
I was flashing the latest alpha 4 mod file, and I am on cm9 alpha 4. I didn't sbf. just restored nandroid. I thought I was going to have to since it didn't go into recovery at first. But I pulled battery and then was able too.
I wiped the big three and then flashed the mod .zip through bsr.
Then it just stays at boot animation forever. I pulled battery and same thing. 3 times.

Don't wipe data/system reset. This only modifies the ROM.

Also note that when you wipe the dalvik, it takes longer to boot since it has to build it again. How long did you wait before concluding it was stuck?
Where can I find virtual keys .apk for S3 style Nexus? (it works greatly on AOKP Jelly King Rom). Thanks
I dont think theres an apk for its way more complicated than that you need aokp's rom like you said i have omega and i have no options in the setting.

Theres no apk.
You have three great roms as choice if you want this feature.
One is ParanoidAndroid.
Other is Paranoia rom (modified paranoidandroid).
Another one is Omega V3
Download any one and you will get feature of virtual onscreen keys.
Both are non-samsung.

This is something i want, too. i dont want to use physical keys anymore. On sgs3 only the home button is a physical push button though, but i want to have a virtual one instead. Perhaps i should try omega..

omega is what im using now i will recommend it,but you cant have the virtual keys because its a samsung stock feeling with touchwiz
if you want the buttons you can download the aokp version which i think has a few bugs .
To be clear, these will only work for AOSP ROMs and the GoogleEdition ROM.
Threw these together for myself. Love having the navbar but it is a pain to add every nightly I flash. So I threw this together. I made two versions. One simply adds the navbar and disables the capacitive menu and back buttons (with them active the navbar becomes nearly impossible to use) and triggers the navbar. Fear not, this mod triggers the in app menu overflow access and for that matter you could then create a menu on the navbar. I couldn't automate disabling the backlight so that will still need to be disabled via settings>advanced>sensors. I also made a version that changes the device DPI from 480 to 360 (my preferred DPI).
Download - AOSP_navbar_enabled.v3.zip
Base version above now allows OTA survival. Will reapply itself after each nightly.
Download - AOSP_navbar_enable_360dpi.zip
Download - AOSP_remove_NAVBAR.v3.zip
Here is the method to inject changed into the build.prop that I used (found here)
On the GoogleEdition ROM it does not support disabling the capacitive button backlights natively so the app from the following thread is needed
[APP] Google Edition ROMs - Disable Button Lights

Of course you are welcome to your opinion!! And in part I agree. That is why I run at 360dpi, that way it has less of an impact on the display. I know it is not for everyone, but choice is the spice of life.

Thanks for this. Is it possible to only activate the in app menu overflow without adding the nav bar? It's so much more intuitive to have that, rather than guessing whether or not the menu button will do anything within each app (the whole reason google got rid of the menu button in the first place).
I wish I knew how!! To be frank, when you enable the navbar and disable the capacitive buttons it activates the menu overflow within apps all by itself. Must be part of the navbar framework. But let me look into it. I MIGHT have an idea but it would be ROM specific, not a general mod like this. What ROM are you running or would like such a feature for?
