I'm on Eclipse. I've enabled the soft keys and tried disable the hardware keys by putting a # symbol in front of the keys in generic.kl or whatever it is. My home button is disabled. However, the menu and back keys still work. I cannot disable them. I've deleted their lines and everything. Is there another way to do it?

Recently I am having problems with my phone, and am wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.
I have tried loading the TNT4 rom & WS5SE roms (this is a g4), and there is no change (im on the Tnt4 one now).
The touchscreen works okay, but the soft key buttons do not. The right bottom one is okay, the left one triggers the right one, the send button show the letters "uytga" on the phone screen when i press them, the end button shows "mn" or something, the camera button works perfect, the comm manager button is the same as the voice button (even when i map it with a program it says "button 4").
It even happens on the soft keys on the keyboard when i slide it out.
Also I used Start-sSPL to put the roms on. Is there a way I can get the OEM one back on or fix the button problem?
Any help will be appreciated.

You need to edit /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl appropriately

I have to use my phone at work and sometimes it is really unhandy, espacially in landscape mode, to write a message (using SwiftKey). The problem there is that I come in touch of the menu or back button, in fact that I have to "hold it in unnormal postions", to keep it short.
Is there a way to create a script or anything else, to disable the hardware buttons (menu, back) while using the software keyboard and then to activate them again, after fading out of the software keyboard?
I'd like to use navibar softkeys and decide to disable capacitive buttons.
After modifying general.kl, the feature of capacitive buttons are off.
But I noticed though these buttons' keycode all are 0 but still effect some apps when I press them,
e.g., if I press these buttons when I scroll in the launcher drawer, it will stop scrolling.
Is there a way to disable capacitive buttons completely not just make their keycode become 0?
I upgraded my Motorola Droid Mini XT1030 to KitKat 4.4. Frequently, the 3-dots menu shows up in a black bar at the bottom of the screen, all by itself taking up space. I'm guessing on a phone with soft keys, it would show all 4 soft keys, but since mine has 3 capacitive keys and no capacitive menu key, it shows the 3-dots overflow menu soft key by itself. Is there any way to get rid of that and map its function to a long press of the Recent Apps key (whereas short-press still works normally)?
EDIT: N/M, turns out there's an option under Display to make the phone work exactly the way I want it to!
