Virtual Navigation Bar for Touchwiz ROMs on Samsung Galaxy Devices topic

This thread will explain how you can get on-screen virtual navigation buttons on any Touchwiz ROM for Samsung Galaxy devices.



Note: The same can also work for any other Android device but results may vary. Supports all droids from Android 4.1 to 4.4.4. You may however experiment after taking a Nandroid backup. :p

Steps:
- Open your file explorer app with root permissions. (E.g. ES File Manager with Root explorer enabled)
- Go to /system
- Open build.prop file.
- Edit the file to add this at the bottom - qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
- Save and exit
- Reboot the device.

Note: Do not disable hardware keys using other mods as they are required in rare instances where an app cannot force immersive mode. Only turn off the 'Touch key light duration' under Display Settings.

How to force immersive mode for apps where navigation bar does not appears:
- Install Xposed
- Download App Settings mod.
- Activate and Reboot
- Open the App Settings and select the app you want to force immersive mode. E.g. Camera app and Select Immersive under Fullscreen option.
- Save settings and launch the app.

Additional goodie: To get Android L style nav bar, use the Xposed mod - 'Lollipop Navigation Bar'

Asus virtual keyboard problem with Clash of Clans topic

I'm gonna throw a curve ball out there and explain a problem I have always had with the Asus Padfone X Mini. Every time I play Clash of Clans, addicting game btw...I attempt to use my Asus keyboard and it disappears after it pops up for a second. Other times I can write a couple sentences before it disappears, almost like it is crashing due to insufficient memory. However, it will pop back up after 10 seconds or so. I tried other virtual keyboards same results. I went into 3C Tools and gave the Asus keyboard high priority and problem persists. I've also had problems with Contacts not responding when playing Clash of Clans. I have cleaned my phone the best I can from bloatware and any apps that run in the background that take more then their fair share of resources. Still, problem persists. It only happens in Clash of Clans though. However, my wife plays it too with her SGS4 and has no problems. I play it on my rooted Cyanogen rom Nook Tablet and no problems. BTW, this even happened before root. I thought it was just insufficient memory problems and it was what it was until I could get root and remove all the crap. But still, it seems better but the problem still happens. Would anyone be willing to download Clash of Clans on their padfone X mini, try typing for a couple minutes and see if it happens to them? Maybe some advise?

Thanks!
