I am kinda working on it. Adding custom buttons would increase the size of the navbar, and I am sure you would not want to have that. So I am planning to make a separate bar that appears when you long press home, giving you all those custom buttons

Sorry, but as I mentioned on the Play Store page, the input keyevent takes some time to process (that is most likely a su binary issue) and that is why there will always be some delay after pressing the button. The delay is more on some devices than others. I cannot fix that, at least not till I find an alternative method to emulate key events.

1. I can add. No problem.

2. Well, long pressing menu to show recents is a standard action and long pressing back to collapse the bar is necessary. Cannot really make that customizable. But I will try.

3. Vertical position should not be too difficult. Will add.

4. I have no clue what navbar is. I am a newbie that way. I will check and get back to you.

I have no idea, but will try.

That can be done. Wait for the next release :)
[Android Apps and Games] rhoadster91:
I didn't quite get your problem. After installing, just open the app from your launcher and grant it Superuser access. That should enable the app buttons. If it does not, try reloading the bar.

For Gingerbread or lower, long pressing Menu button does not show Recent apps. So if that is your issue, then I'm sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] desarenezitic:
Hey, thanks for the reply. I mean to get the keys on screen in other apps / on screen permanently. I get them in the app but when press home to exit the app they're gone, I thought they were a permanent replacement.

[Android Apps and Games] rhoadster91:
Really?? Pressing the home button does not usually dismiss the buttons, at least not on Nexus 4. Did you try pressing the back button in the bar instead??

Another alternative is to try checking "Start at boot" and reboot your phone.

Though honestly that should not happen. It may be an issue in StandOut libraries. Can you talk to pingpongboss?? He's the one who created the libraries.
[Android Apps and Games] desarenezitic:
Well I guess this is untested on an Atrix. Back button has the same result, I checked "start at boot" and rebooted several times, no change.

I can shoot him a PM if you like.

Well thnx for the latest update... which shows ur determined towards the app development... well jst a suggestion why don't u look in d "pie" github jst a chance u find something that is reducing the lag.. well i can support u as beta tester as far as i can... todays update was good, but i don't know whether to call it as issue or not, if a user remove notification (i'm using 4.2.2) from app manager by unchecking notification then we can't disable the floating bar from any where, user hav to enable the notification again and then disable the floating bar from notification :( . y don't u put a option to enable and disable itself in the app. new features works well. As i always said dev rocks!!! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] rhoadster91:
The lag has been my greatest concern in the app and I spend an hour everyday searching and reading about it online trying to figure out if there's a workaround. I have found a potential solution to inject events, but for that the app needs to be signed as system, which is not possible unless I make my own ROM. The PIE works well because it is signed by ParanoidAndroid and so it gets system privileges to inject events. Let's see, maybe in a few weeks I'll have some success.

As for the hidden notification bug, yes I realized that there's no way to turn it off. I will issue an update tonight or tomorrow with a button in the app to turn it off.
[Android Apps and Games] aryan1312:
well wat about using apktool ??? will it work...
[Android Apps and Games] rhoadster91:
Well it is possible to get signatures of ParanoidAndroid but then the app will not work for other ROMs. And it is not feasible to release an APK for every ROM in the world.

This app is wonderful but can u unlock the option to allow for folders? The limited number of apps the I could add is a disadvantage...

I have already recommended to several friends which all commented that the number of apps one is able to add is too little.. Can u pls make the option free?

Could u add an option to arrange the button order? Like moving the button to the order i like to use....(if it's already thr, can u guide me wht to change)
[Android Apps and Games] rhoadster91:
Yes I am working on it. Right now the priority is to make the app more responsive. Once that is done, I will add the feature you requested.

I will add that in some future release.
[Android Apps and Games] kiyo21:
Newer build is much more responsive then previous. Thanks.

One suggestion would be to provide buttons for page up and page down. This would work great for quick scrolling in browsers and several other apps I use that support those keys
[Android Apps and Games] Census Taker:
This app just keeps getting better. One thing that would help me would be an option to change transparency and/or colour behind the buttons called up in the ring option. The black icons can be very hard to see against a dark background.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] xdakewie:
Hi! Nexus 4 with Jelly Bean 4.2.2 stock ROM and faux123 kernel release 16tbm here. I noticed that sometimes the soft keys will shift parts of itself off the screen. When that part is the move button, then there's no way to move the keys; most of the time all the buttons become unresponsive too.

If you would refer to my screenshot, you can see it was not possible for the user to move the keys that far - the screen edge would've blocked the finger! So it was definitely a glitch. Please look into it when you have time. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] atishey23:
I want to knw it its possible to make the space b/w the butons clickable. Like I can click the option which is behind the buttons. See the image If u don't knw what I'm talking about.

[Android Apps and Games] zard:
This is an app that I had been waiting for. Recents button in long press of menu button is not as useful as being a regular button. In addition, please also consider buttons orientation to automatically change to vertical when device orientation changes.

For button icons, it would be good if it could be done as an apk.

Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] rhoadster91:
Sorry for the late reply, have been busy with other stuff.

That seems doable. I'll probably add that option in the next couple of builds.

Adding one extra button will compromise on the simplicity of the app. I do not want to make the app more complicated or make too many buttons like on Button Savior. The automatic orientation shift seems doable, so will consider adding that in the next couple of builds.

The softkeys shift unpredictably when you rotate the screen. That happens because of the offset created by the statusbar. I have tried a lot of things to solve that bug, but it hasn't been solved. I'll work on it n hopefully some time in the future it will work as expected. Sorry for the inconvenience. However, long pressing the back button collapses the navbar to the left edge. Then you can click on the drag button to expand it again n then move it wherever you want.
[Android Apps and Games] jcolinzheng:
Great app! I'm using it daily on Nexus 10. This app is particularly useful for large screens where navigation buttons at the bottom are hard to reach.

Couple of suggestions:

* How about press for recents, long press for menu? New standards encourage in-UI menu buttons, so menu key is becoming less & less needed.

* On high DPI screens, the app shortcuts that appear after long pressing home are way too small. Size should ideally be in inches, or let users change the # of pixels (rather than hardcode it).

* Memory footprint ~20mb, any chance to reduce that? :)

Its a shame that I can't use this with my Note 3 as I haven't rooted it due to concerns of Nno× being broken and can't be reverted for now.
[Android Apps and Games] rhoadster91:
The reason it has a menu button is coz the app is for everyone, not just 3.0+ users and older versions do not have the app switcher like the one in 3.0+ but I do understand your point. That's why I have added the feature to swap the action of menu/recents in my working directory. It needs a bit of cleanup before I can publish the update.

Yes, sure it is possible to let the user decide the size of app shortcuts. Will add it.

Yes, I am aware of the huge memory footprint. It has something to do with the latest new changes I added, coz till v2.0 it just used 5MB. I'm trying to figure out where the memory is leaking. Wish me luck in the endeavour :D

I'm glad you like it :D Thanks for the theme, will put it up for others to use.

[MENTION=4636222]rhoadster91[/MENTION]

Cheers on this wonderful app and a million thanks. I was looking for this concept expecting many options but to my surprise, I think this is the only practically feasible option for soft keys on play store. I have installed them on my note 2 and works perfectly.

Now if you don't mind, maay I point out some areas of possible improvement from my point of view..

1. The keys move around the screen even if not intended to move them. This is because the reposition key is not the only place where it gets repositioned. Slide your fingers anywhere on the key panel, it moves away. This causes much discomfort.

2. The next one is a personal opinion. I dont think we need all the soft keys floating. Actually I need and I use only the back button from the floating panel. The rest of them pose a toll on the screen space especially since they get displaced unintentionally on swiping on the screen. It would be great if you could make it possible to disable and enable the soft keys individually. I have seen this opinion in few other posts too. Please do consider the same.

3. For note 2 and others with large screens, this app is of immense importance. The practical feasibility could be multiplied if you could give an option to enable the soft keys on both sides of the screen. Presently the keys are available only on right or left. So if you have the phone in the other hand and looking for the back button, you have to lean down to the original key which is difficult. So if the keys could be made available on both sides optionally, that couls add to the color of the app several times.

Cheers once again

Thanks for listening.

Great app! Thanks.

My wish list:

1) Option to arrange the button order.

2) Option to hide/show the buttons - I may need the return button only.

3) For some reason, the position of keys is changed (reset?) after reboot. Can you make it on fixed position?

Thanks.

Update:

I found "Back Button (No root)" by oggapps which is the best to me, personally. But I believe "Floating Soft Keys" is still the best one for many others. Thanks to OP.

Back, Home and Menu actions not working :(

Hello guys,

Kudos for making this great app, it seems to be helping a lot of people just not me .

About my phone:

I have an "alcatel one touch idol x+ phone" running kitkat 4.4.2, few days back my phone took a fall and after that my capacitive buttons are not working, so i found out options to use back and home buttons like soft keys apps on the appstore while i wasn't rooted.

But there was no way to have a floating menu button, so i came across your app. I rooted using iroot (formerly vroot) after that installed supersu . Confirmed root access by root checker basic.

Then installed your app from appstore, granted permissions asked by super su . Problem is the back, home and menu buttons seem to be working as it gives a vibration feedback when i touch them, but nothing happens .

One more thing to note : the buttons work as long press, that means when i long press menu button it shows recent apps and similarly in other buttons the long press work but not there single touch actions.

I have tried re- installing the app.

It would be great if you guys could help me out, you are my last hope to get the phone working. Thank you in advance !
[Android Apps and Games] ramachandram:
Great work. Just what i needed for my MX4 to hide the navigation bar. Hiding the "smart bar" still let me go back using the home button but there was no menu button. I tried other floating buttons apps but none was functional even with root. This app does the job perfectly. :good: Many thanks to you Rhoadster91. :D

The only feature i'd like to be added is the ability to expand and collapse them into a single button which can be used to drag(or maybe you could make the drag button do this). I think a button that just looks like the stacked circles of app's icon would be a visual treat. Even without animation it would look and feel really awesome. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] ramachandram:
The first time i rebooted after installing it everthing reverted back and i had to set things up again. :( After second reboot also it didn't startup by itself but kept all the settings. It still doesn't startup by itself.

So in MX4 having enabled the auto-start permission in security app and enabling start on boot option in the app both don't affect this and app doesn't start by itself but still its only a single click on the app icon away. Nothing too dissatisfactory. :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] ramachandram:
I made a theme :D

I made a simple theme by editing a few pictures i found online and making a few myself in ms paint. I used online-image-editor.com to add transparency too. I hope you guys like it. Actually I first made only a full white one but then as it would be invisible on a white background, i played around and made a few variations of the same thing. Use the one you like or make your own combos. :cowboy:

I've added a screenshot of the bordered white theme i'm using now with the size 27 and 3 pixel spacing.
[Android Apps and Games] ramachandram:
I added more transparency to it. Now its even smaller in filesize but still visible on all backgrounds. :D

BTW feel free to mix-n-match to make your own theme. I like the one in first screenshot with arrow drag and circles menu. But if you want the box drag with circles menu or the squares menu with arrow drag copy the files you want into a new folder and use it just like mentioned in the OP.
[Android Apps and Games] HyperDreamer:
