On the galaxy note 2,the left virtual soft key doesn't perform the same action as the physical soft key. For instance when I want to access my pop up menu from the stock launcher home screen I get the most recently used apps, which is a nexus device feature for that button. On samsung devices, the left soft key/virtual key from the home screen should access the pop up menu, which includes settings, etc. Aside from that the home and back key work as expected.

I'm on rooted stock lollipop on Note 4. I always liked softkeys & thats the main reason I like AOSP ROMs. But I don't want to miss s-pen features. So this is the perfect solution for me! Developer should add some option, at least on the paid app, such as: hardware key disabling, vibration control, key customization. It would really really appreciated.

Update: Doesn't work on galaxy note 3... oh well. It's okay I edited the build prop my self however the system won't let me. So yeah don't try it on the note 3 just yet or launcher will have short crashes. This app makes things so easy! Thank you. Perfect for the galaxy note 2 :) and note 2 roms.

On cyanogen mod God knowjs what knighly it works just as described. I missed them from my nexus 4.. (Doesn't work on kit Kat Roms) tested on cyanogen mod 11. if you want soft keys use a root explorer and goto system/build.prob and add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 This will enable them on most devices as far as I know.

It does exactly what it claims to, but the soft keys aren't the same as the ones on the Nexus devices for me - they're a more brown-ish color and don't look as good. They're also in the wrong order (Multitasking - Home - Back)

About this app

This App will help you enable the on-screen SoftKey (like the one present on Nexus devices) easily. Please make sure that you have a Rooted device. Navigating via SoftKey is easier than using hardware buttons specially with the big screen devices (e.g. Note 2). It is compatible with stock and custom ROMs (like CyanogenMod, AOKP etc). Please note that some stock launcher may seem a bit odd as they were not designed to go nicely with the on-screen button layout. To fix this issue use any other launcher available on Play Store.


Imagine a situation where you have damaged your hardware keys and unable to navigate then this App might save your day.

This is a free App with Ad. If you want Ad-Free version or want to support the development then please buy the Pro version from Play Store.

Requirements :
- Android 4.0 +
- Root
- Busybox should be installed

Tested Working On :
- Galaxy S3
- Galaxy Note 2
- HTC One X

Apart from the tested devices, it should be able to run on any rooted device running on Android 4.0+.
