Anyone knows how to enable the onscreen softkeys on s4 active?
Something like those on nexus
tried editing the build.prop but keep getting the UI error.
On stock rom, rooted with CFautoroot.

I don't mean to come off rude but what's the point when there's hardware buttons already? I'm just curious.

The buttons for my device is stiff and hard to press. When I am using the phone with one hand, and when I tried to press the back button, it always touch the screen a little and it is pretty annoying. (Forgive my big thumb) :good:
I came from GS2, really like the touch sensitive keys. Doesn't need to "Press" on the keys!
hardware buttons are too hard to press as well for me. Im sure I can use to it but still they could be much more soft to press.The good think about non touch buttons is: there is no accidental press button when you hold phone in landscape position during the game

Is the second link posted below similar to what you were referring to? It looks pretty neat it'd be great on a big screen.

I've tried the pie control when I was using Neat rom. Just tried the floating keys but it is interfering with the games i play.
I think i will probably wait, and get used to the stiff keys.

sucks that your buttons are stiff were they always like that or did it start happening gradually? Mine is only a few days old and button travel feels fine to me.

I have a software problem.
Soft key not working after wirmvare updates.

Again returned to the factory rom.
The phone works perfectly but Soft Key does not work.
Please help.
It is obvious that the error in the Updates Firmware for Touch key.
Firmware is the official Samsung.
I have no solution for this problem.
Thanks in advance

I have tried to do a Google search and searched XDA for an answer and I can't find it. Maybe I am just putting in the wrong keywords.
I thought I saw where there is a way to have the Tilt wake-up by using any of the front buttons vs the side power button. Can someone please tell me how to do this?
Thanks!

I like the "Lock all buttons" mode to prevent the Tilt from being turned on accidently and draining the batteries in my pocket.
But a simple easy way to turn on the Tilt with the buttons locked and not touching the power button, is to slide the screen 1/8 -1/4 inch quickly and let it go back. The unit turns on without the power button even though the buttons are all locked!
Hi:
I am wondering the same thing as the OP. Has anyone found a way to map a different button to "wake" the device up? The power button is just too hard for me to find at times (like when I'm driving).
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks!
Sliding the keyboard wakes up the device.
Sliding the keyboard does not wake up my kaiser. There must be some setting somewhere that is causing this behavior for those of you that are experiencing it.

Hi Super:
I did see that post earlier. I guess I probably should have explained myself more clearly. I do not want all keys unlocked, since this would lead to buttons getting pressed by accident when in a pocket or purse. What I am actually looking to be able to do, is wake device with ONE key (instead of the power button). Perhaps by remapping another button to perform the action of the power button, or some other change.
For example, on the Treo 750, you just press the end button, then push the action button. The end button wakes the device, the action button unlocks it.
Thanks again!
You can always set the lock on the phone so that once a button is pressed you'll still have to press unlock on the screen.

Hi:
You're right, I think that's what myk meant. I think he was meaning that sliding the keyboard would wake the device.
Yes, if the phone is actually powered down, the only way to turn it on is with the power button.
I had exact same problem. Fidning the power key whilie driving and otherwise is pain too. So I disabled the key lock from above setting that means any hard key will turn the device on, but I also installed S2U2 or slide to unlock, so if the device was turned on by accident in my pocket, it will go off again soon.
should i start a new topic or can i post here
How can you turn the Tilt off without using the power button?

I don't get this. If the phone is in such a state that you need to access the reset button at the back, then surely you're not going to be able to reset the device using software since you won't be able to get at that software. And if the software's working well enough that you can run a program, then why not just hold down the power button for a few seconds and switch it off and then on again that way?

So has anyone tested the program mentioned above for soft resetting the phone?
I manily need to soft reset the phone after installations (like .net CF 3.5) and don't like the idea to remove tha back cover every time (since it will get loose).
When i installed HD Tweak, it installed even HD Soft Reset.
And it works to reset our Diamond2

Why on Earth would you want to install and use an application to do a soft-reset?
Holding down the power button, switching off the phone that way, then touching the power button to turn the phone back on, does the same thing as a soft reset anyway.

just saving the on/off button's life(you have to press it twice), i have received my diamond since 4 days
and i had already softreset at least 20 times for soft install which requires a reboot and several times for example device.exe, shell.exe crashing or touchflo worries.
so i dont like removing the back too often when i could it do by software.And after all if you have no use of it dont install it ;-)

as u can see there is a little circle i dont know what is that , sometime shows up and sometime disappear. Can touch through , help me get rid of this~~

Oh, you mean the home button shortcut gesture - thanks, I hadn't heard that referred to as a hotkey before.
Still, on my stock 5.1 phone that gesture shows as a temporary white circle as long as my finger is still pressed down on the home button (waiting for me to drag upwards and get the shortcut list) - not sure why the OP would be seeing a grey circle or why it's remaining on the screen, aside from a bug.

The "Sticky Soft Keys," do you mean? I thought that was highlights around the soft keys, but could be wrong.
Thinking about it, that home button shortcut seems dedicated to Google Now in Lollipop (i.e., I was used to it being configurable in TouchWiz) - I tried disabling Google Now as an experiment, but holding your finger down on the Home button still brings up the white circle overlay.
It's almost as if that overlay is staying resident for the OP after possibly being triggered (as a guess) - even though it's inexplicably grey on his phone - so, I wonder if holding down the Home soft key for a few seconds and then letting go might make it go away.
@Davesssssss : if you hold down the Home soft key, does a different circle overlay appear? If not, can you swipe up and get a prompt for opening the Google Now cards? Going back to a home screen, is the grey circle still there?
This is all just testing to determine if that circle is related to the Home button, but thought it might be interesting to try.

So, you hold the Home button and swipe up, then it goes away temporarily? But, it shows. up again how. much later, please?
Are you on stock 5.1 with no root and locked bootloader?
I'm still leaning towards an app that is somehow colluding with the Google Now launcher via Home button but that's probably do to my lack of knowledge, most likely.

Interesting, though that seems an unworkable solution, since you need the carrier SIM for phone functionality.

Hi,
I got my P30 Pro couple of days ago, so far everything is pretty smooth, but one thing really bothers me:
The sensitivity of the bottom right corner; I'm using SwiftKey with no dedicated emoji key (=you have to long press the enter key), and 3 times out of 4 it doesn't take the long press.
And my long press duration is 200ms...
Anyone having the same issue??
I think the corners are less sensitive by default to prevent accidental touches. Due to it having a curved screen, it's easy to activate app icons on the bottom left and right with your palm. On my s10 plus, i always accidentally launch apps which are situated in the bottom right. Never had this issue on the p30 pro so i guess it's better this way.

I have an emoji key on SwiftKey.
Look down to the left of space bar.
Maybe it is due to your theme or setup.
Plus when I type stuff it offers emoji too.

7:50 I think we all have the same problem I check it I have less sensitivi on bottom center and it works fine when You turn on in "programer mode" show touch and 1 more option to show data about touch when You turn it on touch start work fine. Can You check it ?
I am having screen sensitivity issues in general with this phone, i am finding i am having to press the home button a few times for it to register sometimes and also when i unlock the phone when i have notifications, i am sometimes having to press the notifications a few times before they open also.
I am using still on firmware .124 so not sure if when i get an update if it will fix that?

I'm on 153 and it's not better
screen sensitivity on my P30 pro is great, even with the tempered glass on.

Hi,
I got my P30 Pro couple of days ago, so far everything is pretty smooth, but one thing really bothers me:
The sensitivity of the bottom right corner; I'm using SwiftKey with no dedicated emoji key (=you have to long press the enter key), and 3 times out of 4 it doesn't take the long press.
And my long press duration is 200ms...
Anyone having the same issue??

I posted a similar topic, but got no response. Mine seems to be unresponsive on the bottom left part.

I have an emoji key on SwiftKey.
Look down to the left of space bar.
Maybe it is due to your theme or setup.
Plus when I type stuff it offers emoji too. View attachment 4756421

Hi Shaunydub,
Thank you, It's indeed the way i set up my keyboard, but it's done on purpose, I've always used SwiftKey like this and I'm used to it.
But I guess, I will eventually have to switch to the dedicated key...
As far as Emoji suggestions, it's a different option, I have that too

I didn't notice it on the left side as the only long press I'm using is on the right side. But I guess it is the same...
I'm pretty sure it's indeed a software prevention for not activating button while holding the device, but yes my question was more does it bother someone else than me?
I don't remember the version I got from the box but yes updating to 153 didn't change anything for that...

It didn't happen before.... started happening roughly around 2-3 weeks ago, and it's the same on 153.
Does it improve if you disable the feature 'Accidental touches' or whatever it's called. It could be worth a try..

If you're talking about "Mistouch prevention", unfortunately it doesn't help as it's only blocking the screen to be turned on when the proximity sensor detects something like when it's in your pocket.
So I'm coming over from the Pixel 3 where 3-button navigation was the default. On the 5a, gesture navigation is. Still not sure how to work with it, especially when trying to move around apps like Root Explorer. So I wanted to gauge you guys thoughts and why. So, what's your go-to?
i recently got a 5a. i've been using a 3a since they came out. on the 3a i had the option of 2-button nav as well as 3-button and gesture. on the 5a i just have 3-button and gesture. i'm using gesture right now but that could change. i miss the 2-button though because in practice is was sort of a hybrid between button and gesture.
I like using the gestures. Started using them on my OnePlus and it took some time to get use to but now on my 5a they work alot faster and smoother. I like having that little bit of extra space on my screen and able to go back without having to hit a back button, just swipe from the left or right edge to center.
Gestures = Oops, oops, oops. Way too janky.
I switched back to the 3 button navigation cause I just had too many issues with gesture based nav not working right

With root you should be able to get two button back.

That was my thinking as well but it's not there and I am not aware of any utility app that would turn it on. My 5a does have root currently because it's new and I wanted to explore things. Maybe 12 will have it.

You could try flashing this.
I recently switched to gesture. Took a bit to get used to but I feel like going back to 3 button would be like going back to tap typing from swiping. The size phones are now it's nice to swipe to go back from the middle of the screen instead of reaching to the bottom.

Ok, thanks! I now have the 2-button option on 5a. I appreciate your input.
I prefer 3-button and just realized that the recent apps button breaks after the OTA android 12 update, at least using Nova launcher. I hadn't thought about how often I use this to swap between a few screens, but it is really an impairment to lose it suddenly.
I started using gestures on my 2XL. It took some getting used to, but I couldn't imagine going back at this point. It's so much easier to change between open apps and go back with gestures.
i use fluid navigation gestures. it's like turning 3 button into gestures in their same location

Pull your SystemUIGoogle.apk.
Unzip
Take out res/layout/back.xml and recent_apps.xml. Switch the names and replace.

Thanks for your direction. I am in android 11 and Root. I used root explorer or solid explorer but could not modify or replace the systemuigoogle.apk at all.

You would have to use a Magisk module.
