Hello,

I have the Honor 5X and I'm looking for a way to hide the navbar as well as at the Mate 7 was possible .
Is there a way the build.prop adapt accordingly ?

Add this to your build.prop but i do not know how you plan to navigate without a navbar.

Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

Actually the line

Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
is already in build prop. Just change the 0 to 1 and that will do it.

There are a lot of root apps in the market that allow you to navigate using gestures so you don't need the navbar. (All in One Gestures, Navigation Layer, Swipe Navigation, etc.) I myself do exactly this and thus recover a small amount of screen real-estate.

There is an option in settings under smart assistance >more to activate a floating dock. That could be one option to navigate without a navbar.

I have found a solution ( root required ) :

Navigating with the aSQLiteEditor to /data/user/0/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ .
There the settings.db open , choose System . Now create a new entry with content : hide_virtual_key . Must be . 1

Device reboot and look .

Please place before changing the .db make backup copies ! I am not responsible for failed attempts !
