[Q] Virtual keys Nexus' style - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 .

Extended Power Menu for UCLE2

I was searching for an extended power menu mod for the new UCLE2 leak. Found this thread in the skyrocket forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656580
I flashed it and it works great!
Currently running on OnlyOne YOLO B3 Rom.
*** This mod removes ability to use s-pen for screen capture and to pull up the small memo pad by double tapping the screen***
does download put it into download mode?

Yes.. everything does what it's supposed to do. I tested each one before i posted to be sure.
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?

You are correct about the s-pen ss not working. Power/home still does tho.

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.

[Q] change notification toggles

Hi,
I may be being really dense, but I can't find an option to remove/change the toggles in the notification area... I use some (like wifi, bluetooth, brightness), but have no need for ones like power saving, sync etc.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks!

I'm assuming you are on stock rom, if so you cant. Custom roms like Omega have 15 toggle mod you can add or remove whatever you like.

Thanks for the answer
Yes I am currently on stock ROM - I used CM9 nightlies for ages on my S2 but didn't like them as much as the S3 stock. Maybe I'll try Omega (have recently installed the kitchen part of it anyway)
Would you say Megga is better than CM in your opinion?
It's impossible to say if a rom is better or not. I've been using AOKP roms on my galaxy S II but I can now say I like original Samsung roms more on the S III, I even use touchwiz which would've been unthinkable on the S II. I'm on Omega Rom. It's basically stock but with upgrades. Been using other roms for a few hours too because Im a flashaholic but keep Nandroid-ing back to Omega. First time Samsung did a great job on interface IMO
Well that sounds good, I'll give it a go later, thanks
Out of interest, does Omega have the ability to cancel an app by long-press of the back key? That's something I miss from CM9...
Fyi, here's how to change/remove the toggles...

No, it doesn't but as you probably know, long press home and press Task Manager let's you kill tasks.
I liked the idea of long press back key, but was never happy with the execution - I was constantly killing apps that I didn't want to by tapping back too quickly. Clearly CM wasn't checking that you were holding back, but rather that it was pressed at the start and end of a certain time period.

Thanks for the reply... I actually used it a lot with CM9 and found it very useful, but not the end of the world to not have it!

[Q] soft keys broken - any rom options?

My sister's Samsung Vibrant has problems: The soft-keys(I mean back,menu,etc) are not working. Is there any rom for Vibrant that has on-screen (software?) buttons like Galaxy Nexus?

Yes. There may be a zip file. I'll see if I can locate it or whatever I'm talking about after dinner.
Update. Scratch the previous entry in my post. I wasnt able to locate a zip. Maybe it was a build.prop edit. At any rate, I can confirm that Paranoid Android has them. Its an option under Settings>System>Navigation Bar.
PA is an amazing ROM btw.
You were just sliced bread before you were burnt by the toaster.
There are also a couple of apps that put virtual buttons on your screen. I'll try and find the link, here you go http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...tICIBQ&usg=AFQjCNEF1MSo1VBHfVuIQ7sWBpWikJp_8A. That is a root version, if your sister isn't rooted then just Google. They have versions that don't need root access too.

Its called Navigation Bar, roms like CM, AOKP And Slim have it, you can enable it in the settings.

[MOD]AOSP enabled navbar - AOSP ROMS and GE only

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
Thanks a million times for this! I have been missing these! I am running beans rom and after installing getting system UI has stopped, also using nova, any information on getting this going would be great, thanks again!

A fixed navbar taking up space precious on a small display seems Nexus- like. Stop this abomination NOW! Instant S4 mini (comparable display space usable for apps).

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?

Running both the Verizon Google Edition ported rom and Clean Rom. Appreciate it, but don't bother putting time into it if it's ROM specific. What you have posted here already is helpful enough!

I will try for the GE port, it should be an easy mod. These don't work on stock touchwiz as it doesn't have the needed framework for the navbar. For some reason Samsung gutted the navbar from their source

Thank you my friend, I'll give it shot today!
Oh it works very nice, but there are some cases (like tapatalk) where the menu would instead be within the navbar so this is not a capacitive menu replacement

Awesome job man. Now I just need to be able to set the physical home button to menu for short press and go full screen (no navigation lights) on long press. Think that is possible?

Screenshots on 4.3 using the Power/Home combo..??

Any way to get this feature working on 4.3 roms, instead of having to use the power menu..?? Thanks..
If you're referring to AOSP, use power+volume down. Takes some getting used to but it works. As far as remapping the keys, I'm sure it can be done, but I don't know how.

I'm on SlimBean 4.3 and it doesn't work =( I figured all these roms were CM based but I guess not if something simple like that isn't cross rom friendly.. I love that feature cuz it didnt require you to crop out the status bar on screenshots like you have to do when your only option is pressing the power button or adding a toggle/tile.. I wonder if someone can make a zip or something with the proper permissions to use it on any 4.3 rom..!
