SoftKeys is a home screen replacement and on screen service that provides virtual buttons for home, menu, back, and search. In order to use SoftKeys you must have a working SuperUser installation on your device.

The first time you run SoftKeys from the "home" button, it may look like nothing happens because the default configuration is to pass you through to your configured home screen. If you've never configured SoftKeys, this will simply be the first one it finds on the device. To open the SoftKeys home button interface, you will need to "double tap" the hardware home button. This behaviour can be changed in the settings.

If you are using SoftKeys for the first time you should double-tap home, press the Settings button, and set your default home screen under Virtual Home Button - Normal Press

If you just want to just use the service and not the hardware home button behaviors, just set your default home to whatever launcher you like and then start SoftKeys from that launcher. The service can still run even if you don't make SoftKeys your default home application.

• If you disable the "Settings" button, you can still get to the settings by using your hardware menu key. If you don't have a hardware menu key, you can long-press on the SoftKeys center empty area of the screen to bring up the settings.
• Help is available through either the SoftKeys menu via the hardware menu button, or from the settings under "About SoftKeys", or by clicking here.
• You can drag the service windows around the screen, the service bar can be dragged by the "Close" button. The D-Pad window can be dragged by the top left and right corners where there are no buttons.
• You can rotate SoftKeys service bar popup by long-pressing on the "Close" button
• Long-prses the service popper button to show or hide the D-Pad
• To configure the custom keys, long-press on the + or - below the D-Pad
• By default, long-press on the virtual home button in the service bar will bring up the main SoftKeys interface to access settings and view recent activities.
