Samsung Galaxy s7 edge case that cover capacitive keys



Hi to everyone... Two weeks ago I manage to break down my s7 edge screen but only in the place where capacitive keys are...
Everything works great and i was wondering if there is a case that has the ability to cover all the "silver" place around capacitive keys and capacitive keys.. I had try 3 TGSP for me was the best solution but all of them has touch sensitivity problem that I can't handle it...
Thanks

[How-To] REMAP CAPACITIVE BUTTONS ON GALAXY S6 [ROOT]



HOW TO REMAP CAPACITIVE BUTTONS ON GALAXY S6


If you're left handed like me, then you might wanna remap your capacitive buttons if you use the back key more often than the multitask button.
You can remap many other buttons such as volume keys and the power button, just use some logic and you'll figure it out.
As we progress on, you'll realize that there are many more things you can remap other than the physical buttons.

1. You'll need root access for this, otherwise it won't let you edit the file
2. Go to Play Store and download the app called Total Commander (you can use any other file manager that supports root, but this one worked best for me)
3. Open the app, and go to File system root
4. Go to data folder and when it asks you, grant it the permissions
5. Go back and go to the system folder, then to the usr folder and then to the keylayout folder
6. Long press on the Generic.kl file and click on Open as, then on Text and then select Totalcmd Editor
7. Now click on the magnifying glass icon without an arrow in the top right corner
8. Search for the word BACK, but select the Whole Words checkbox
9. Change it to APP_SWITCH (make sure it's capitalized!)
10. Search again for the word MENU and change it to BACK (there may be two MENU words in the file so search twice)
11. Search for the word APP_SWITCH and change it to BACK
12. Click on the Floppy disk icon on the top of the window and then click OK
13. Exit and close the application
14. Reboot your device and enjoy!

Capacitive buttons, navigation bar and PIE control



Hi guys,

Ok, so I'm coming from an old Nexus 4 on which I was used to do everything with one hand (right).
I was used to Pie Control, and completely remove my software navigation bar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in build.prop)

Now, I'd like to do quite the same thing with my OP3, but I'm struggling a bit.
As you know, with OOS, we can use either:
  1. Capacitive Buttons

  2. On-screen navigation bar

When I use Pie Controls (either LMT or GravityBox) and set the navigation to capacitive buttons, it's mostly OK, but there's always the unintentional touch, especially when holding the device in landscape mode.
When I set the navigation to on-screen buttons (but don't use them), "Back" and "Home" simple tap on Pie Control doesn't work at all (Longpress's and Recent simple tap work fine, though).
I tried fiddling with build.prop but didn't manage to disable both altogether.




Code:


# enable navigation bar
#ifdef VENDOR_EDIT
#liuhuisheng@framework disable navigation bar
#qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
#else
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
#endif





Anyone knows how to disable both capacitive buttons AND standard software navigation bar ?
If it's possible to stay on OOS for the moment, that would be great :)

Thanks in advance.

Can I customize the capacitive buttons with root? How?



I know there is the "buttons" menu in settings and it gives some options for which button does what and button swap but I want more!

Like, long press the back button to kill an app (useful for closing the web browser, for instance, instead of hitting back a billion times or menu - close)
Or adding a menu button since many older apps don't always have a menu option on them anywhere and rely on that button.
I would love to swap the recents button with menu since I generally long press the home button for recents anyways but so far I can't seem to find an option to do so.

Can someone please help point me in the right direction? Thanks!
