Hello, how can I disable navigation bar with root?
I saw some videos sayning that installing ES File Explorer, and with the simple lines in build.prop (system) qemu.hw.mankeys=1 or ro.show.navigationbar=no would disable softkey forever. But it didnt happened here, anyone have some suggestion? :confused:

If you're OK with immersive, use terminal with superuser, and type 'settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*', then reboot.

If you want to remove totally, decompile framework-res, go to /res/values/dimens.xml, and find 'navigation bar height' and change value to 0.0dip. You can also change 'navigation bar height landscape', to make sure it won't be there in landscape, but might be a good idea to leave it, in case you get stuck. Make sure you have a reliable navigation alternative...

Thanks for this information. First i have tried using a apktools app, but after all the process get boot looping in Sony's logo. After I tried to make from ADB, and I think I found the error. I cant recompile framework-res, after change values , can you help? I just change the values in dimens.xml, anything else. Dont need to sign, just recompile, right? It seens a easy process, idk what I did wrong...

Change values, recompile, then copy the original android_manifest xml and META-INF folder to the new apk. You can copy and paste just like a zip. Then move new file to framework folder, (file manager in recovery is best), and reboot.

Can't say for sure, but your apktool error might be indicating missing framework. Did you import framework-res and system ui?

I don't know if bdfreak tool has been updated recently... Personally, I use Apktool X on my phone - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329059554 (link is for 64-bit version)

II Disable Nabigation Bar (in bools.xml and dimens.xml)
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">false</bool>

<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_car_mode">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape_car_mode">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width_car_mode">0.0dip</dimen>

<integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOff">6000</integer>
<integer name="config_notificationsBatteryLowARGB">#000000</integer>
<integer name="config_notificationsBatteryMediumARGB">#000000</integer>
<integer name="config_notificationsBatteryFullARGB">#000000</integer>
