Real simple
Change your DPI to 213, or what ever you want. I'm at 280. I get the nav bar, status bar stays at top. I prefer a home soft key.that bottom is different.

Add these 2 lines to the bottom of your build prop
Save and exit
Reboot

Bam

launcher.force_enable_rotation=true
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

Everything works fine.

Just tried DPI at 280. You still get the bottom bar.

Thank you dafoxs! This is just what I needed. Looking to color the nav buttons, does anyone know where the png's are located?

I found the png's, they're right there in in SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi. I'm working on a light blue to match some themeing i've done. I'll upload them when i'm done if you want to take a look.

Sounds good. I have a morph script that will allow you to just flask it instead we of messing with the apk

    Mainkeys=0 adds nav bar at any dpi, the rotation allows stock tw rotation!

    I went all the up to 320 and the bottom bar was still there. I'm gonna mess with it to see what DPI is best for me.
