Is there any rom which has option to swap on screen navigation keys?
Yes you can
After nougat update it is moved into developer options
Go to developer option and enable onscreen navigation

Hi,
I am using SideControl to navigate in immersive mode so I would like to disable PIE as well as the navigation bar showing up when swiping from the bottom.
So swiping up from the bottom touch area should bring me back to the home-screen. However, when enabling PIE, it obviously brings up PIE, when disabling PIE it brings up the navigation bar..
So how can I disable both?!
Thanks a lot!
You can't.
We wouldn't implement a feature that removes all navigation options
Maybe place pie on the left edge of the device

You can try disabling the navbar in build prop by adding qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
This way you can hide the navbar without the need for immersive mode (and thus pie).

Hi!
Thank you so much!!! This solved my problem!!
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"?
Is there any way to hide the nav bar while in split screen mode? I have my nav bar auto hide all of the time but when using two apps side by side, it reappears and there is no longer an option to hide it.
Am I missing the logic behind this? Surely when using two apps on the one screen, that extra space is even more important?
After the Android Oreo update, the gesture options allow you to get rid of the navigation bar and use swipe gestures to perform functions such as "back" "background windows" and "home". However entering split screen mode from this stage is my concern.
Hello. I bought this fone a couple days ago and it's been a good experience, despite some different usage comming from a Z2P. EXCEPT I can't find a way to hide the soft keys for good. Yes, i have enabled the "Hide navigation bar" under display settings BUT they keep showing when the keyboard is enabled. I'm hating this. Even more when the color won't change and stay white no matter the theme I apply (I like dark interfaces). Also, I've enable the gestures and the keys are just useless. It was possible on the Z2P with the fingerprint gestures. No keys at all.
Is there a way to hide the soft keys FOR GOOD on the Zen 5Z???
Thank you!
This is just the way Asus has chosen to implement navigation gestures. Can't do anything other than complain to Asus and maybe they'll fix it in the Pie update.
You can hide them with adb. Check YouTube
Is there a way to disable the back gesture completely while keeping the navigation gestures option?
The back gesture gets in my way every time I want to open a hamburger menu.
No, but if you use a custom rom there's the option to make the swipe back only the bottom half of the phone
