The most recognizable feature of the Samsung Galaxy series compared with other Android devices is that they almost all have a physical home key, but if you press too many physical keys, you may encounter the problem of failure. Of course, we can solve this problem through some virtual key software. Recently, an alternative method has appeared on the Internet, which allows Galaxy series mobile phones to add virtual keys. At the same time, the same method can also be used to delete virtual keys of some mobile phones.
First, get the root permission of the phone, then open the "RE Manager" to the system directory in the system root directory, and find the build.prop ▼
This file contains a lot of device information. Many version numbers we see in the settings are from here ▼
Open the file by text editing, and add "qemu. hw. mainkeys=0" ▼ in the last line
After restarting, you will find that the familiar virtual key appears at the bottom of the screen. In addition, this shape seems very similar to Sony's virtual key... ▼
Xiaomi 2 can also call out the virtual key in the same way, as shown in the figure ▼
There is even a special adjustment menu for virtual keys in the set "keys", which can change the positions of the four virtual keys, which makes people wonder whether the prototype of Xiaomi 2 is ▼ with virtual keys
Of course, this method will have a great impact on small screen phones. It takes up a certain amount of screen space. In fact, this method may not be large for ordinary users. However, using the same idea can change the virtual keys of some mobile phones. For example, the earlier One X (One S) can remove the "anti human" by a similar method Menu virtual key ▼ The method is similar, but this time, "qemu. hw. mainkeys=1" is added. After restarting, the annoying black edge disappears. Of course, this is an old method. In the new HTC Sense, virtual keys can be removed by setting. If there are other mobile phones with virtual keys, you can also try to remove the virtual keys in the same way, but after removing the virtual keys, we will find a way to install third-party virtual key applications to realize some functions of the original virtual keys.
