Does anyone know if there are ROMS made for the Google N4 (with the LGOG conversion) that doesnt have the on-screen capacitive keys? That's really the only thing keeping me from doing the conversion; I hate having two sets (whether the physical ones work or not) and it just takes up space on the screen.
There are some that have options to turn the on screen buttons off. I think the option is called "extended desktop" in some ROMs. There are also build.prop tweaks that may be able to remove them but I'm not too sure about those.

That ROM disables the on-screen ROM keys? Theoretically, I want to use the LGOG's capacitive buttons, not the on-screen ones. The on-screen ones take up a chunk of the display and just takes away from the 5" screen. That's why I'm looking for a ROM without the on-screen ones.
yes... As stated in the title of the thread 'capacitive keys'

The cap buttons are fixed in the cm rom but does anyone know if its fixed in the flashable fix thread? I only asked because in the OP it said it was coming soon yet someone posted in the comments that it was working for them. I'd ask there but I dont have enough posts.

You can disable them by:

Yes, but it's on its own status bar at the bottom of the screen (for tablets).
CM7 has it in the pull down status bar also.

Of course it could be, you just enable it in cyanogen, but since my phone has those keys, I don't really need it personally.
If you mean porting to something not running cyanogen, that would require taking it out of the cyanogen source and adding it to whatever you are using.
Im creating this firmware for an outdated phone because people are having problems with hard buttons so i figured a feature like this would help

Ah, that makes sense why you wanted it now. The only problem I can think of is the latest cyanogen uses 2.3.5 android os, so if you are porting it to something else not at least using gingerbread, it could be problematic with some of the libraries/dependencies and require massive backporting.
0uch, alright so I would have to rebuild everything to gain a feature like that?
Mmm yeah I think I'll stick to button savior...

Now that we have root, does anyone know how to install the MOD we had for the SG3 where it would add on screen soft keys and make the home button ONLY wake up the phone. It would also disable the capacitive buttons....I miss this so much...absolutely hate the Samsung home button.
Thanks ahead of time!!
On-screen nav is literally one or two line changes. There's guides all over this site. Why dont you search and maybe figure it out yourself.

seriously. please do us all a favor and get a different phone so we don't have to deal with you.
anyway. i wasn't really happy with the way this looked or worked so I went back. But if tweaked it could look / function better. It changed it so that if you hold the home button on screen and physical you get S-Voice. The on screen nav was really big also and the page indicators were covered by icons. It just looked and felt sloppy and there was no way to customize anything obviously.

ONSCREEN BUTTONS
The guide before is correct and works for s3 and note 2. (we are all trying to learn)
1) download root explorer
2) navigate to /system
3) tap mount r/a
4) then tap and hold down on the file "build. prop" and choice "open in text editor"
5) go to the bottom and add "qemu. hw.mainkeys=0
6) hit back button and save.
7) reboot phone.
DISABLING MENU AND BACKFLIP BUTOON
1) open root explorer
2) navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/
3) tap mount r/w
4) find generic.kl
5) tab and hold. Then " open in texteditor "
6) find
key 139 menu
Key 159 back
7) so they look like this
#key 139 menu
#key 158 menu
8) tap back button twice and save.
9) reboot
*back button

Only thing I don't like is this kind of messes with the dialer DPI, and now the top of recent calls and favorites is being cut off by a big block of blue.
Edit: On Bean's new ROM, the top names are still covered, but the "blue" block is now transparent stuff just a blue border, so the names are now visible, but you can only touch the part of the name that sticks out from the bottom of the block. This is definitely more manageable though.

Yes I agree...I will put up with it though...gotta have onscreen buttons!!
This is a mod how to enable navigation bar(on screen buttons) , its very simple and easy...
Add the following line at the end of buid.prop file
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
now on reboot we will have nav-bar like on nexus 4
To disable hardware keys, I used root explorer go to system/usr/keylayout click and hold on kaypad.nl and choose from menu open in text editor and 139,158,172 edit the home to hom and do the same on all 3 lines and hit save and reboot,
Plus I went and deleted all the 139, 158, 172 lines from external_kbd.kl, Generic.kl, MHLRCP.kl, osp3-input.kl and qwerty.kl. I dont know if that helps because I deleted them first then edited the lines in kaypad.nl.
Thanx to accentuer he made a zip that works also and might be easier for some people

If you would prefer they didn't you could always turn them off in settings>display>front key light.
As having both seems redundant.
Does this mod disable the hardware keys, I'll do it but no point in having on screen keys and hardware keys.

I assume all your apps will automatically reconfigure to account for the different screen dimentions?
Hmm, tough choice: give up some screen real estate to gain a dedicated task switcher button and context menu button.

If you don't mind trying something, you could open /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl in a text editor and put a "#" (without the quotes) at the beginning of the last 3 lines.
Change:
Code:
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
To
Code:
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
#key 172 HOME VIRTUAL
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
I have not tried this as I don't have any plans to use this mod... may want to do a quick backup first in case it renders your phone unnavigable.
You may also still have to turn off the backlights in settings>display>front key light.

In case any developers are looking for new ideas to fold in....
I would like to see a custom circular menu surround the spen tip when I long press and have about 12 customizable options in the "full circle" menu. It seems like a waste that long press with the pen does the exact same thing as my finger. Something like Pie but full circle.

How about google wallet? JK I would like to see an option for a stock jellybean note 2 with s-pen capabilities, or maybe a siri like feature that works better than S-Voice. For the love of god im from michigan and have a "normal" accent and that stupid thing CANNOT ever get what I say right, Siri never had any problems during my brief stint on an iphone 5, neither does the google now.
The lmt launcher is only thing I added. That's the only thing the note 2 is missing. Something that keeps you from reaching across the device for the back key.
I would love for the Note 2 to allow any app for the Multi-View function w/out root... =)
