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.

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.

this worked for me a while ago to get the navigation bar

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.
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

So something that's always bugged me about how Android currently handles the navbar, on a phone, if you go into landscape mode, the navbar stays in the same position as in portrait mode. This makes sense, as you'll be holding it from the sides.
Is there a way to make a tablet do this, via kernal mod or something better? Having the navbar on the bottom, especially on a Nexus 7, doesn't make sense for a 7" tablet.
Help would be appreciated

This app won't work. Plus I find it a bit of a messy solution if it were to. I don't want to hide the navbar, I simply want to move it to the right, or left, side of the screen.
Ultimate Dynamic Navbar and GMD do have the option to move the navbar to the right when in landscape mode but it also disappear .
Hello! I'm hoping that I can disable the soft navigation bar, and go to a more traditional Fire OS style of navigation, using swipe navigation.
I found a post caliming that "PImp my rom" can disable the nav bar, but it didn't seem to respond to the tweak option, and I still have the soft nav bar
Thank you,
cheers
***Solved***

But expandable Desktop doesnt set the on screen keys to disable, only hide. They'll still show if you're swiping up.
Adding a new line with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop with a text editor Will permanently disable on-screen keys. It would have been handy if there was a UI shortcut for that somewhere.
Anyway I force-disabled Screen buttons, set Double tap to recent apps, and hold button to google now. Then bought the app you suggested to set all 3 swipe from bottom gestures to mimic the back function. Now the navigation feels just like FireOS's except amazon search assistant is replaced with google and I love it.

Using a prop editor, I was able to add h qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop <-- fantastic fix
I then customized the home button to do double tap-- app library, and hold-- switch back to last app.
Swipe Navigation works wonders, just as Chocolina stated above
Better solution
If you want to completly disable navigation bar soft keys then you must install slim kat,you can easily completly disable the soft keys and can add swipe up navigation just like amazon..i m also using slim kat rom and i have personally tested all roms but look wose slim kat is the best rom and no bugs in it..i have also disabled the system navigation keys and added swipe up to go back and hold home button for recent apps.

how to add "swipe up to go back"?
So someone else mentioned this idea in another thread but I thought it was a great question/idea that deserved it's own Q&A thread.
Is there a way (preferably without root) to get the nav bar invisible (like in immersive mode) but fully functional?
By this I mean not like immersive mode where you swipe up to make the bar appear, but rather the bar would be there all the time and the buttons work, it would simply be invisible (both the bar and buttons). It's not hard to tap in the general area of the 3 buttons. For this to really work, it would have to overlay all apps and what not such that it appeared as if it wasn't there - like immersive mode - (even though it actually was).
Would be even better than immersive mode in my opinion. Anyway, just thought I'd ask. Thanks!

Download Custom Navigation Bar. Then you just need to grant permission via ADB and you can make the navbar buttons invisible. That's what I've done. No Root needed.

cool app for quickly adjusting immersive mode, but it doesn't actually do what im looking for.
the option to make nav buttons doesn't work the way im asking for since the nav bar is still visible... just blank. i dont want the bar taking up space.
basically what im looking for is an invisible, overlayed, nav bar in all apps.

I see. Ok also download navigation bar hider from the play store. This to needs a simple adb command to grant permissions. Use both the apps together. With this app, you can hide the navbar through out the whole system or on an app per app basis. Add the invisible navbar icons from the first app as well.
Hmm sounds interesting..subscribing to see if somebody gets it working...I don't have my Pixel yet to try this
