This is a step by step showing how to enable soft touch keys on android i.e the on-screen keys
Requirements
Your phone must be rooted; see
https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html
You must have installed a file manager with ability to access the root folder (in my case Xplore.. download @
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...mes.Xplore
)
# See the video tutorial below or @

How to Enable Soft Touch Keys on Android Devices
Open your file manager
If you are using Xplore, then goto its configuration
Click on Root access and change it to "Superuser + mount writable"
Click on the Root folder and grant Xplore superuser permission if prompted
Scroll down and open SYSTEM folder
Scroll down and locate build.prop
Long press and click on "Edit Text" to edit the build.prop
When the text editor opens, scroll down till you get to "#end build properties"
Add a new line and type
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save the edited file by pressing your back button.
Click on YES to proceed with saving
Exit Xplore
Restart your phone to see the effects
Important Note
This tutorial is generic (ie can be used for all android devices)
Edit your build.prop carefully as any mistake could land you in a bootloop
