I'm flashed on the latest CM12.1 (RC 2), and I've got soft key buttons enabled. The wonder CM brings, is that it offers what I've wanted, which is the switching of the back button and the menu button.
Because of this, I am completely willing to replace the capacitive keys with the soft keys. Only, I haven't quite figured out how to do it right.
Steps:
1) Access R/W permissions on the /system folder though flashing the Switcher.zip
2) Go to /system/usr and click to edit Generic.kl
3) Add a "#" in front of BACK, HOME, and MENU
4) Reboot
So, instead of it actually disabling anything I listed, it disabled the power key. Of course, I could luckily still hard reboot the phone. But this seems to happen no matter how I edit the General.kl file.
Also, another issue would be turning off the backlight for the capacitive buttons. Any tips on that?
