So has anyone been able to enable the Nav bar?
I tired searching and it seems like it would just be a buildprop edit. Since I dont trust the recovery currently(heard too many bricks). I wanted to know if anyone had done this yet.
Now once enabled, is there a way to edit the buttons, such as color size of height, or add other buttons/rearrange.
Once thats done, is there a way to disable the capacitive buttons.
My device is Jovi's stock rooted odexed rom. I have twrp and running xposed with some modules.
Thanks
EDIT:
So i just tried adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build prop but SystemUI keeps crashing with no stats bar.
I tried a soft nav bar root app from the playstore and got the same thing
Gravity Box yields same results
Anyone have any suggestions?
so anyone get this to work?

I haven't.
Are you talking about soft keys at the bottom of the screen for home/back/search/etc? If so I would love to see a solution. It sucks not having a search button. Ideally I'd have the bar on the bottom and turn the physical home key into a camera button.
Not the solution you want but. ultimate dynamic navbar... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198

Hi All,
I am looking for a Rom that has multi-window control, but also a toggable virtual navigation bar like AOKP. I only need the virtual nav bar when connected to the 7" lcd in my car. I have tried button savior, but it overlays on top of apps and gets in the way.
I was hoping to find a rom that has both features. I searched but didnt see anything specific.

its perm though you cant simply toggle it on or off...you have to remove the lines you added to remove the bar.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, doing that method and putting the phone into landscape and the nav buttons get all screwed up.
As the title would suggest, I've found some Xposed based Nav Bar changes but mainly to the style of the buttons, I'm looking for something which has DPI changes (tweak box doesn't work for me with this function)....also something that adds a fourth button.
thanks

Nothing that I've come across gives me the option to place a FOURTH soft key.

I'm not sure if I'm on the same page as you but you can change and add 5 soft keys (navigation buttons?) under Settings, Display and Home touch buttons.. Then Button combination. Here you can drag buttons and rearrange your nav bar. .. Sorry if this is not what you're looking for
:good:

Here's how I have my phone set up.
I set the navbar height to zero and enabled pie controls. By default, the navbar keys are pre-installed in pie, and you can reorder them however you want.
Then you can set up to 10 targets on it, with the option to long press (you set the duration ~ I have five targets plus long press on 3 of them).
Getting rid of navbar gives you more screen real estate. More screen is good. Plus it gets rid of that pesky line.
I also set my dock to auto hide after two seconds. I know that it's on the bottom. I swipe up and it appears. I don't need to see it on every homescreen. Hey! More real estate!
Thank you but I really dont like swiping around whole screen to see keys.
I did that with some xposed module, I think it was gravitybox. I've changed the order of the buttons.

Okay, it was just a suggestion.
This can easily accomplish through xposed. but somehow xposed causes serious performance issues with lags to my G3. I tried it twice, yet xposed is not gonna work well. Does anyone know a way to assign last app switch to a nav bar key. (like, long press on notification pull key or back key)
Can we do this by editing "usr/keylayout" files(root)
I tried paid apps for app switching but non of them are productive.
If anyone know a way to do this without xposed please help me out! Thank you!
Someone got to permanent hide the softkeys on nougat? I've already tried putting "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" at the end of build.prop as I always did in my other phones, but that don't seen to work. I've tried too using a lot of overlays to set the softkeys height to 0, but with no sucess also. Besides that, I've tried to decompile de framework-res.apk and modify the navbar height value to 0, what gives me no navigation bar but no status bar too.
Any another way that will work? Am I missing something? I really want to use lmt and hide those screen space eaters
Just use https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967, there is an option to hide the navigation bar

Unfortunately a swipe up will bring the buttons, and I want to really disable it in order to use lmt on the bottom of the screen

You ever figure this out..this has got to be the most annoying thing about this phone.
I use Assistive touch app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.assistivetouch and have a floating button which helps me to navigate. One tap for back, double tap to home and hold for recent. It's quite useful and convenient. It's always there at the thumb position and easy to reach. I use Nougat/Oreo Quick Settings app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.simonesestito.ntiles and created a custom tile for immersive mode to hide navbars only, yes if you swipe from bottom you'll find the navbar there but i don't need to cuz I use the floating button all the time. That build prop command works for me, I've tried that earlier but i choose the immersive mode because if Assistive touch crases (which never happened till now) I can use the navbar as backup. The command you're using is right, I don't know what's the issue but you can reset your device and then try if it works.
