[REQ] Help needed to fix SecContacts.apk and SamsungCamera.apk - Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps

Hi all great developers!
I have a small request from your expertise as I've tried everything I could but still could not achieve the desired results.
Since I've enabled software (screen) keys following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032117
There is a virtual navbar at the bottom of my Note 2 (N7100), just like what Galaxy Nexus has and it works awesome because given the big screen of Note 2 it only takes up lesser than an inch on the screen but provides the convenience of not having to press the hardware home button frequently.
However there is a side effect after enabling it, where the Contacts now showing an additional Menu Bar and the stock Camera shutter button being half-covered by the virtual navbar. Please refer the screenshot below to get a better picture:
Contacts (SecContacts.apk)
--Kindly refer to the attached screenshot--
Camera (SamsungCamera.apk)
--Unable to take screenshot of the Camera--
Anyone with soft (screen) keys enabled can provide one?
Please download both mentioned APK's from dropbox links below. They are extracted from stock XXDMB2 deodexed.
SecContacts.apk:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17026409/SecContacts.zip
SamsungCamera.apk:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17026409/SamsungCamera.zip
Appreciate your great help to resolve the DPI (I guess?) issue with these two stock apps after virtual navbar is enabled.
Donation will be offered as a token of appreciation :highfive:

For Contacts (SecContacts.apk) I think the menu bar can be hidden by tricking the system that the device "HAS" the menu key (theoretically is by setting qemu.hw.mainkeys=1), however this will hide the Navigation bar aka soft keys.
My problem now is having to *keep* the navigation bar (ie. qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) but to hide the overflow menu bar.

Just need this one fix to make my setup complete

If only I knew how to fix the Samsung Camera with NavBar turned On, I would never go away from the Stock ROM. Any tips(technical too) on how to achieve this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Seems nobody doing this for Stock ROM, I believe this issue is non-exist in CM or AOSP ROM.
So we're pretty much on our own now

Quick hacked up app to create soft menu/back keys - SoftKeys v3.06

SoftKeys provides on screen keys for menu/home/back/search for devices that don't have those keys in hardware.
SoftKeys is also available in the Android Market
If you want to make themes for SoftKeys you will need the tools to build apks (eclipse/android sdk/etc) and the template from the git repository.
http://git.hoopajoo.net
Changelog:
2011/01/11 - 3.06 - Fix notification keys, boot straight to launcher on system startup
2011/01/11 - 3.05 - Fix notification softkeys <b>broken release</b>
2011/01/10 - 3.04 - Adds dpad and up to 6 custom keys, ability to put device
to sleep, improved performance for key injection, built in documentation, bugfixes
2010/12/23 - 3.00 - Most of the layout code has been rewritten to allow for theming, couple of bug fixes, SoftKeys is now gpl3
-----
Old Changelog (I'm too lazy to reorder this newest to oldest):
2010/12/04 - 1.01 - added launcher selector and remembers last launcher
2010/12/04 - 1.02 - added themes layouts from nemith, looks more like his screenshots but the spinner text is still black so the launcher chooser is hard to read, hopefully I'll have some time to fiddle with that soon
2010/12/04 - 1.03 - My fingers are too fat, I made everything in to image buttons and moved the launcher config to a prefs screen, if anyone has nicer icons let me know these are repurposed from generic android icons
2010/12/05 - 1.04 - Added alternate long-press soft home key for secondary launcher like if you want to use the built-in nook home, added configurable options for what to do if you tap or double tap the nook button while in the softkeys screen, long press on menu/back sends an extra back to the app before sending the requested button for apps that bring up pause screens or something when you move them to the background (angry birds, etc)
2010/12/05 - 1.05 - Integrated the dark theme from nemith, you can choose it in prefs now. Added options to disable the "exit" and "configure" buttons. If you disable "configure" you can still get to the preferences using the "menu" button in the notification bar (e.g. the normal menu button)
2010/12/05 - 1.06 - fix broken key handling, menu and back didn't work, don't use 1.05
2010/12/06 - 1.07 - add recent applications to top of the screen since we don't have a long-press-home recent apps dialog, looking in to re-ordering the buttons next
2010/12/07 - 1.08 - This release adds options to re-order the softkeys, insert soft keys in to the notification area, disable the recent apps list, long press the background to configure if you lost the configure button, and some options for changing the background to dim/blurred/none (note: the notification soft keys show up in the notification area, not in the main status bar like the nook menu/back, I can't put things there as an application you would need to modify system jars to get this effect)
2010/12/07 - v1.09 - Default to non-blurred background and added note about slowness, added option to return to softkeys after pressing back button
2010/12/08 - v1.10 - Selecting "SoftKeys" for your single-press home action will make it so if you launch softkeys, it will go to the launcher unless you hit home again, e.g. single-press home to go to launcher anywhere, double-press home to go to softkeys
2010/12/13 - v2.00 - This adds a new service overlay that is displayed above all apps allowing softkeys to be sent without having to mess with the home button. Default home key behavior has changed to be single click home from anywhere goes to your default launcher, double click home to get to the old softkeys interface. I'm still fiddling with service panel layouts and ideas so things will probably change, I just wanted to get some testing with something simple.
2010/12/17 - v2.01 - The service panel can now be dragged around the screen, you can change it from horizontal to vertial by long pressing it, you can adjust the transparency of the panel and the icon size, and also control if it closes after sending key events. If you don't want the dialog background on the panel you can disable it to just have floating buttons. NOTE: the signing certificate has changed to a release cert, you will need to uninstall the old softkeys before installing this one
2010/12/17 - v2.02 - Now you can move the button that brings up softkeys service, slightly better handling for switching horizontal/vertical layout by long press
veeerrry nice man!
Thanks! I agree with you - I didn't want to permanently re-assign the volume buttons, as I use them in some apps.
One request, if possible ) - Is there any way to make it go to launcher pro (or whatever you want as default) when pressing "Home" in the app? Right now, it asks me to "Pick Home" every time.

I never personally use the "home" button, I use the quick drawer thing in the notification bar, so I don't really use a launcher. I could probably quickly add a button just for an alternate home or use last home I guess/choose new home I guess. I'll see what I can do. I've also though about adding arrow soft keys, for using in like connectbot, is there any interest in that?
There are also other minor irritating things, like apps that exit when they are not in focus will not work with this hack. For example, monkey kick (a game my son loves to play) will exit if it's not in focus so it never receives the soft keys. I suppose it doesn't matter though since it doesn't use the screen completely anyway, so he just gets to play on my old g1

Thanks again. Using the last home would be great, if that's possible. I don't personally have any use for additional buttons, but maybe someone else can comment? Rgds.
Awesome.
Code would be cool it would be nice to have them popup at the bottom of the screen like when you press the menu button in an app.
Also to take a screen shot you hold the 'n' button and tap the Vol - button. If you have as much trouble as I did with this method, you can also install drocap2 (root required) which does nice job.
awesome app. its perfect! great replacement until someone does the sidebar buttons like the ones available for the archos
nice work... now if you can make this pop up on the bottom of the screen with a black background like the archos tablets it would be awesome...
thank you, this is a great work around
I put the source up at
http: // git.hoopajoo.net
(take out the spaces I can't post links apparently)
That page has a list of my public git urls available, the last one is SoftKeys
if anyone wants to check it out, I'm currently looking at remembering the last launcher picked and defaulting to that for people that use launchers.
-- the rest of this is just for people looking in to the source, to provide some background to why I did it this way and alternate ideas I had --
If any devs look at it I thought I'd post some of my reasons for doing it this way:
1) I looked at creating a custom init service bound to a keycode at first, this would have made it so you didn't need superuser but would have required modifying your ramdisk. Even just making a daemon and communicating through some kind of pipe would require modifying the ramdisk to get it in init. In the end I abandoned the idea because it seemed easier for most normal people to just install an apk.
2) I looked at binding this to the camera button and remapping it in the keylayout, that would preserve the default home screen selections, but would require modifying a file in your /system/ so people would need to adb their stuff. Again I thought an apk would be easier and adding in shell commands would just complicate things for people and I'm not very good at support
3) I spent a LOT of time looking through git repos from aosp to find out if there was some way to bind to the long-press home and take over the recent apps list, since it doesn't even work. This would preserve your home settings and not even remove an existing function. After several hours grepping through the core.git stuff I decided this was just easier to do. If figured good enough is usually good enough. Though if someone can figure this out it would be sweet.
4) I really was hoping that we could just pull whatever archos is doing since that seems ideal, completely soft buttons. However after downloading the aos firmware I found it was encrypted and apparently currently can only be decrypted by the devices using the public key stored on them somewhere and I'm not aware of anyone having dumped their system images yet.
Also I've been looking through the superuser source to see how they handle the popups, they do a good job of not killing the running app and being all around unobtrusive, doing it their way for the popup buttons would be really sweet since it never seems to break the currently running app.
Great except one thing!
I have LauncherPro so when I click the home button, it always gives me a choice between LauncherPro and the original home. Can you make it so I can set a default? I want to just go straight to launcher pro then I select home.

The thread is one page long and your question was already discussed.
One page was too much reading?
How about double click home button for menu and hold the button for back? Just my 2 cents.
I have taken the source code and modified it to a be a row across the bottom of the screen, I think this looks a little bit better
Note the bar at the bottom of both. Ignore that ghosting on the second image.
If anyone is good at graphics I can use some images to create a fancier looking bottom bar.

I am going to play to play with doing stuff like this. For example. Press Home for the menu. Press Home again to make the meny disappear. Double tap home for menu. Long Press for back.
I think next on my plate is setting a default launcher application to use when you hit the soft Home button.
Here is the github respository for anyone interested: https://github.com/bennetb01/SoftKeys
I can't get this to install. The first one instaled fine but when I kick this off it says it will replace the first version then "application not installed" should I remove the first one manually?
Great work BTW. Thanks

You can uninstall the first one via the following:
Code:
adb uninstall net.hoopajoo.android.SoftKeys
Install the second one normally via:
Code:
adb install SoftKeys.apk
Interestingly enough the adb uninstall command resulted in a failure as well. I just uninstalled via long press at my app screen and was able to install via root explorer on the nook.
Thanks for the help though.
I do like those buttons, I'm not much for making things look nice, typically I just do back end stuff. If you want to rebase against head and post your git repo I'll merge those changes in to main.
I started using launcher pro and realized it does suck way too much to have to select your launcher every time. It's just 1 button press but I'm too lazy.
And for people re-installing, from adb you have to do:
adb install -r <APK>
Also to remove packages I use appremover, or you can use astro file manager with the package manager under the menu.

Thanks very much for this, sir.
About those images: what size do ya need? i can do them right now.
-K
I didn't want to start a new thread for this piece of information, so this looks like a good place to discuss it. My wife noticed that you can always access the back button by swiping from right to left across the notification toolbar. This worked on her non-root NC as well as my rooted one. Pretty cool!

Navbar Project - Some Help Needed!

Whattup, fellow Phablet Users?
I have an idea I'd like to work on, concerning the Navbar in Touchwiz ROMs. If anyone has an insight they can lend, it's highly appreciated!
To see any of the things I'm mentioning here:
- Download any Root Explorer
- Navigate to System>Build.prop
- add 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to the bottom of the Build.prop
- Reboot device!
- To remove the Navbar, just erase 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' from the Build.prop and reboot again
First off - Can buttons in the Dialer be resized? To be specific, when the Navbar is activated in a Touchwiz ROM, instead of flushing together--as in an AOSP ROM--the buttons in the Dialer are raised (also, the actionbar is revealed).
- For instance, when checking a voicemail, you'll see how the buttons overshoot the numeric keys. I'd like to shrink (flatten) the buttons a bit, so that when the Dialer is opened--and the navbar is active, the buttons will flush below the numeric keys.
Secondly, remaining on the Dialer/Contacts, the actionbar.
- It is only in the Call Logs that the actionbar poses a slight problem; it covers the 1st entry in the log. Now, is there a way to get the Call Log to sit nicely under the actionbar, just like shown in the Contacts? That's what I'm aiming for there.
Thirdly, the Camera. The Navbar covers part of the Camera buttons when active. Is there a way to raise the Camera UI to flush better with the Navbar (as in AOSP ROMs), or completely remove the Navbar when the Camera is active? For instance, at the Lockscreen, the Navbar is absent, even when activated.
These are my ideas! Again, if anyone has any insight on this, PLEASE SHARE!
Thanks, again!

Remapping screen back/home buttons to the HW buttons

The only reason I want to upgrade from an S3 right now, to either the S4 or the G2, is due to the larger screen size. The N3 is a little big so it seems these two are the only logical options.
I upgraded from the Galaxy nexus to the S3 purely due to the fact that it did not WASTE screen real-estate on black and white static icons. Frankly that is the absolute stupidest use of the screen there is. Samsung has it right by continuing to keep the buttons off screen.
So, the only way the G2 fits the bill (for probably many people) is if one of the following two solutions can exist:
1. The nav bar is totally transparent. The buttons still register when you tap there, but when browsing or watching video, the frame or text completely spills behind the buttons as if they don't actually take up space. Still not ideal.
2. The buttons are taken off screen fully and remapped to the rear HW keys. One volume key can be the back button, and the other can be the home button, etc. To change the volume, you gotta drag the software slider. Not a problem. I believe there are many button remapping apps in the market. Anyone tried this?
Is there an app to do these things? Can this feature be built into a ROM? For solution number 1, the nav bar can be hidden using a feature like PA has, and an app can just have a virtual transparent button floating where the original ones were. This app might also just exist in the android market.
Can we work on getting the entire screen area useful on this large phone?

I had the same mentality as you before deciding on the G2. There is a solution.
You will have to ROOT first.
GMD Auto hide app. This app will completely hide the software keys. They only appear when you swipe up from the very bottom of the screen.. or just tap the very bottom of the screen. You chose that in settings. The software keys can be made transparent as well.
Im currently using the app and love it. Works perfectly.
Without root... i dont think there is a solution.
I just use the navbar mod that shrinks the navbar down to either half or a third of the size. That way they take up hardly any screen at all.

I've used the Xposed Module - Ultimate Dynamic Navbar (available on play store). Looked to have more customization options than GMD (can have up to 7 buttons on the nav bar, for example, and more options for configuring long press of the buttons). But anyway, overall concept is the same as GMD.
And so far, i am loving it. Nice to have the full screen real estate at all times.
And root is so damn easy on this phone.

I considered Xposed as well... but i thought that method just let you adjust/resize and theme the soft buttons.. but i wanted to completley hide them and have them reappear with a touch/swipe of my finger and then go away again. Xposed can do that as well? I just took a quick glance at the thread and figured it couldnt.

The xposed module Ultimate Dynamic Navbar can do all that.
it's on play store, but i just found it here on XDA. Note to self - remember to ALWAYS check xda first before you pay! although, i like the app so far, so it's worth the money.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198
EDIT : One note - on the G2, I've found you have to use another Xposed module (like g2 xposed or gravity box) to hide the stock nav bar first. At least right now.
I'm already using G2 xposed to remove the volume slider in drop-down, and for transparent status bar, so I already had it to make this change.
I love the software buttons because you can customize them and have various animations and actions. I agree with the wasted space but I root and download "tex_Droider" from the Play Store and change the DPI down from 480 to 400. This will make everything smaller and more roomier... including the Nav Bar.
Then I downloaded Flashify and TWRP Custom recovery. Flashed with Flashify.
I downloaded a Smaller Nav Mod. I used the "Medium" size since I already lowered the DPI. You can use the small size too if you want it really small. Boom.
I've played with hiding the navbar and using gestures and also that PA mod. I dunno just doesn't work for me. I use those buttons a lot and adding a swipe each time is a pain. Personally I wouldn't mind just having a transparent bar across ALL apps.
With ya player911, wound just using small nav bar. Wish I could add a couple more apps to the stock home swipe out.
With the G nexus I've tried making the nav bar about half. It worked except for the occasional mis-tap. Still it was annoying to have it cover up screen - on top of all of these options, can the nav bar be made transparent? I figure apps would have a hard time realizing what's going on so a solution would go something along the lines of first removing the nav bar to make every app draw full screen, and then adding a module that would create false transparent buttons simply overlaying the screen content at all times, rather than having a swipe or some other gesture pull the nav bar up or down. The false buttons could be in the very corners of the screen so as to not likely cover anything up.
The thing I like about the S3/4 is in dark conditions where you are being more tactile with the phone/case (I turn my softkey backlight off totally) your thumb rests on the edge of the case and rolls over to tap the softkey. It wouldn't be an issue to get used to the position of this virtual softkey by adopting the same behavior, it's just a matter of whether an app exists that will draw repositionable virtual transparent mappable "area" on the screen that would correspond to a button.
Don't think you're going to find one. Every app/game is different, so who is to say that where you place your "always there" transparent buttons won't interfere with an actual area you need to tap inside an app, game, etc. Even in the corners.
I would again suggest trying the auto-hide mods mentioned above. They do exactly what you are describing with the overlay, except you have to swipe or tap to bring it up.
Swiping is really not that big a deal. Ultimate dynamic navbar gives you the ability to swipe right to a button, so your finger never has to come off the screen. It's very fluid.
You could also try PIE. But what I like about the auto hide nav bar mods is that you can set the nav bar to toggle, so it stays up if you need to press nav bar buttons a bunch of times in a row. With PIE (at least when I last used it), you have to swipe for every button press.

Auto Hide Nav Bar and Hold Back to Kill Foreground App?

Hey guys, I'm running Dogg Rom at the moment, but I have the Xposed Framework set up, and of course root, so I'm open to just about any solution possible.
Anyway, I'm looking for 3 things to make me feel right at home: Hiding the Navbar and making it show up with a swipe from where it would be, and "Hold back to kill" the current app.
Here's what I've tried so far:
GMD Autohide: This gives me the hide Navbar and swipe abilities, but I can't enable hold back to kill with GravityBox; My guess is that it actually just turns off the native nav bar and replaces it with a new one that has the functionality.
GravityBox: With this, I can enable expanded Desktop, and I can enable hold back to kill, however, I can't get get the Navbar to show back up without turning off Expanded desktop; I can't even get PIE Controls to work.
If anyone knows, I'd appreciate it.

Can you guys get around the above problem by removing the dialer/contacts app from the action overflow whitelist ? if yes please tell me and I will push an update to make it easy to blacklist by default.
Sorry for the badly formatted links but XDA dosen't allow new accounts to post formatted links ?!
I love this mod.
Yes, adding the following to the overflow menu white list fixes the bug on 4.3 TouchWiz:

By default, you can press and hold the menu button to access the menu with this Xposed module active.
On galaxy note, it work perfect when perform one click to open task, manager.
But problem in opening menu when long press the button. It will keep show and hide the menu when keep press the button.
And, if only press for 3 seconds. The menu appear and once release button it disappear.
I believe this thread is rarely visited and checked by the author of the module. I think it's better if we post our concerns in the official support discussion thread according to the description here:

Yes, it does. You need to whitelist "Phone" and "Contacts" from MenuBeGone's UI. That did the trick on my device.

I lurk all threads Will provide an update that detects if device is running touchwiz and blacklist based on feedback.
For now I will blacklist Phone and Contacts packages.

Lol. :good: Sounds good. Honestly, that's the only thing I can think of for you to change. Or maybe give an option on how long we should press and hold the menu button for the menu to show up instead.
Thanks for the mod. :laugh:
Not working perfectly
See the attachments. Im on jellybean 4.2.1 I am using 1.2b version of your module.
When i press menukey it shows recent apps like in Gingerbread. Please fix it !
Issue with Samsung S3 stock ROM 4.3
Thanks for the module, Helped a lot. :good:
I have another problem, can anyone please fix this.
After applying the module there is space for NavBar, but there are no icons( I can get them though).
Dock icon labels are also gone. Can anyone help me get the original look back with icon label and less space.
Please look at attachment.
Black bar in the dialer
Thank you very much for this awesome module
Here is the only problem I have on Galaxy S4 mini. As you mentioned it this module doesn't work well with the dialer.
I'm getting a black bar at the bottom of the Keypad and only Keypad !,, All the other tabs in a dialer, like Logs, Favorites and Contacts look good.
Work on my note 8 !
very very Thanks a lot.... :good: :good: :good:
Showing "Recents", not "Task Switcher".
Hello sir. Thanks for your helpful module. But I am having problem on my device. I am using Vega IM-A760s. When I press menu key, it shows the "Recents" screen, not the "Multitasking" screen (as in the attachments). Can you help me to solve this. Thanks.
Great module. Two issues:
1) On the GS4 running Lollipop, the dialer has a problem:
If I try to uncheck Phone and Contacts from the whitelist, there is no effect.
2) Would it be possible to search through the whitelist or sort the whitelist alphabetically? Useful when I have 300+ apps on the list.
Thanks!
Not sure if this mod is still being developed or not but I have installed it on my Samsung Galaxy S4 and works great apart from when I watch videos on MX Player.
In MX Player you can lock the screen while watching a video and disables the hardware buttons. I have found that the menu key still works despite the screen being locked.
Is there any chance this can be fixed?
Hi, can't help but noticed that there's a slight delay when I pushed the recent button. Looks a lot like home button delay with S-Voice. Might be related with Talkback app. Settings> Accessibility> Dexterity & Interaction > Tap & hold delay. Lowest setting is 0.5.. any way to change the value?
