I finally found a working solution. The only caveat is that you must have a rooted phone/device:

You simply hold down the virtual menu button and the keyboard shows.

While I am no expert. I have looked into full screen mods for the Galaxy Nexus WITHOUT rooting. That could not be done. I am certain you can not remove the naigation buttons from the Nexus 7. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION "There is ...

Great! AGS has a "keys" and exit dialog when you single press menu button. I *think* HTC is coming out with a fix to add back traditional style menu buttons on the HTC One S. Expect long press is still not an option. http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/4/3220059/htc-one-x-one-s-menu-button-mult...

Agreed. Until they work on usability, all we have is workarounds, sadly.

Menu button was a bad idea.

I think the only way you can hide the soft navigation keys is to root your phone and use some kind of mod like LMT. Try posting your question on the XDA forums for your device.

There is Hacker's Keyboard in the Play Store. However, it didn't work for me. It's the Fn key. It expands to all the F Keys, but I have zero luck. I think the ScummVM port does not support the F Keys in a standard way. On a semi unrelated note, have you tried the AGS port for Android? They have an o...

If there is a system dialog, ex. alarm clock, the video will freeze, but the sound and game will continue to play.

The only way to resume the video rendering is to task switch.

I am running Jelly Bean on a Gnex.

Does anyone else notice this? Is there a means to restart the video rendering?

Is there any other way to get the keyboard to show?

Thanks bluegr! You rock! I can't wait for QFG4! Donated. Thanks! A simple thank you is the best reward for us :) As for motivation: most of us work on ScummVM to satisfy an itch, to satisfy their own curiosity and to see the work they made turn into a playable game. We're doing this for fun, for our...
