I am currently using the paranoid android rom and noticed it has an easy way to enable or disable the hardware buttons.
My question is, is it possible to enable and disable the buttons using either a combination of the volume buttons, or a long press of a hardware button. Reason being is i have a 2 year old who loves using flashcard apps but he's always hitting the buttons and messing everything up. I would also like this because it keeps him out of other apps and calling random people.

I use the S Pen a lot. I'm trying to figure out a way to incorporate the back, home and settings button into my launcher (ADW)
The same way ICS does it basically to eliminate the need for the Capcative buttons.
Does anyone know of an app or way to put those shortcuts on your home screen? Its really annoying when using the S Pen to have to always go back to those buttons.

You know you can use the s pen right?
Press pen button while swiping back to go back
Press button up and swipe up to open menu
Press button and swipe down to go home
Samsung has all these tips in the phone
Menu.settings.spen
There is also a s pen tips app in the market...and lots of cool stuff on the facebook page.
If that doesnt work out for you there are a few apps on the maeket for "soft buttons"

You can use the S-Pen for going back, home, and menu. Hold the button and drag left for back, Button+down for home and button+up for menu.

No way to disable the capacitive keys on demand..though you can permanently disable them by activating the on screen navigation buttons

How you can activate on screen navigation buttons? 1st time i use galaxy s3 and android system now, past 5 years i used apple.
1. S Voice
Using wipe flashed rom, go into S Voice setting and untick 'open with home button' feature. Then remove S Voice app with Titanium Backup. From then on whenever screen turn off while in an app or even drawer, single home button press to bring screen back on forces home screen instead of whatever app I was in.
I dont want to keep S Voice app. Removing S Voice app without unticking the home button feature only work as long as I dont reboot my s3.
Any solution to this?
2. Side volume buttons + mute
Almost every JB ROM including Poland Official is not allowing me to change from volume control down mute, only down to vibrate.
Any solution to this?
Thank you for reading

both are problems with the stock samsung rom - I believe Jkays mod fixes these two issues (found in original development - for use with deodexed/custom roms).

Does anyone know how to remap the lock screen button (power button) to operate as a camera shutter button?
I know it's a pretty stupid request, considering the possibility that you might not be able to turn your device off afterwards.
However, when the camera is running, tapping the lock screen button doesn't actually turn off the screen, it locks it while the camera is still running. I'm guessing that this is a special command that the camera app itself activates. If this is the case, is there a way to edit the YP-G1 camera app to use the power button as a hardware shutter button only when the camera app is running?
I'm not looking for a hardware camera shortcut, just a hardware shutter button, because let's face it, it's not easy to take incognito photos when you have to tap the button on the touch screen instead of a hardware button.
There is n app called button remapper (I think) that serves the basic function you're looking for.

While the idea for this app ids close to what I'm looking for, I wonder if there's a way to change the behaviors for certain buttons ONLY within a certain app, not all the time.

Hi,
Can anybody know about how to add reset/shutdown button into notification panel or button on Home screen for samsung galaxy note 3?
I have searched around the phone but couldn't see that function.
THANKS.
JACK
I don't know about an on-screen widget, but simply holding the power button for 3 seconds will result in those buttons popping up.
as per I know I have not seen any such on screen widget..so all you need to do simply hold the power button for 2-3 seconds and you will get the pop up of shutdown and reset...but still if you get to know about some on screen widget then just do let me know..would be happy to know about anything like this...and will be going to implement for sure......
If your rooted you can use an app called quick boot. I'm not sure if this is what your looking for.
