GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys worked perfectly on my AICP 5.1.1 ROM and AICP 6.0.1 ROM.

I'm now trying it on AICP 7.1.1, I grant root permissions to it but the app keeps on checking Root privileges at start, perpetually. And it's not useable.

Is there a way to solve? I can't do without Auto Hide Soft Keys on Nougat!

Thank you,
Gianluca

    It does NOT modify system files. If something unplanned happens, just reboot your device and it will restore your stock navigation bar.

    It should work on other devices with Phone UI too. It also works on devices without soft keys. Let me know if your device works and I will enable it in Play Store.


    Unique Features:
    - Hide just navigation bar and keep notifications bar.
    - Show Quick NavBar and click soft button with one simple swipe.
    - Theme Quick NavBar.
    - Adjust trigger size and position.
    - Integrate with Gesture Control or Tasker using Shortcuts.
    - Stock firmwares and Paranoid Android supported.
    - No system modifications are done
    - No reboot required to hide/show stock keys.

    Differences to other status bar hiding apps:
    * Does not remove notification bar
    * Does not modify system
    * No need to reboot
    * Stock Notification panel and settings panels are fully working
    * Stock recent apps list is fully working
    * No problems with receiving phone calls

    Known problems:
    * Sometimes resets wallpaper to default.

    Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys

    Even if you download from XDA you can still purchase PRO key and key will be managed by Play Store. This means that once unlocked, app will always be unlocked - no matter if it is installed from XDA or Play Store. You can switch between XDA/PlayStore version any time without loosing key.

    So, I was able to spoof soft buttons for Android. I will upload an update later today. I added option for spoof and when its ON, Android thinks that soft keys are visible. One known problem is that then it leaves a wallpaper gap on the bottom, so option is set to OFF by default. On bright side, menu buttons are displayed as usual when keys are spoofed.

    At the moment I no plans to merge with other apps. Coding UI tweaks is easy. Tricky part here was to hide soft keys. And I like how I can show bar and click button with one swipe in my app ;) Anyway there will be option to turn off trigger and everyone will be free to use any other app for bar replacemen :highfive:.
