Hey xda,

I'm trying to disable the navbar so I can use gesture control but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that on the 5t.

Here's what I tried:
- Changing the 0 in this line to 1 "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0", this line is actually present in the 5t build.prop (no effect)
- This theme: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-navbar-height-changer-android-nougat-t3447956 But it breaks the reboot menu.

There must be a way, I just can't find it, could someone help me finding a way to achieve this?

Thank you in advance,

Ps: I'm not afraid of modifying the system, I made a backup anyway :)

I was having issues with restoring nandroid on TWRP, I have made 5 backups all gave me a 255 error, I tried modding my OPSystemUI and Settings and gave bootloop, the op3 and 3t were so much easier to work with.
