We all know the infamous PhabletUI, don't we?
There is no simple way of getting back the TabletUI, but there are some possible workarounds
See the attached screenshot for the result...
What you need:
1) root
2) Xposed framework installed
3) Button Savior https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
4) text editor and file manager
Order of operations:
1) Install Button Savior and configure it to your liking, make sure it works
2) Install Xposed module from attachment and activate it, don't reboot just yet (sorry about the icon )
3) Edit /system/build.prop and add the following line
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
4) reboot
Enjoy!

This is the first guide and the first rooting EVER for THL W9 based on MTK6589T chipset by MEDIATEK.
Also this will guide you to fully customize and apply fixes and mods to the official THL W9 ROM.
What you need:
a. PC or laptop in good working condition.
b. USB cable for THL W9 (micro usb) in perfect condition.
c. Some knowledge on ADB and Rom Customization.
d. Patience.
ATTENTION: THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND YOU PROCEED WITH YOUR OWN RISK.
THIS CAN PERMANENTLY DESTROY YOUR DEVICE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OR LOSS OF DATA.
SECTION A - IF YOU HAVE THE INTERNATIONAL ROM AND WANT TO ROOT.
1. Turn W9 off , wait for the vibration. Take off the battery, wait 5 seconds and put it back.
Plug usb cable to pc and install usb drivers when asked. (You might need to plug-unplug multiple times to get the driver right) - Driver on MEDIATEK official site or elsewhere.
You might also need ADB working (not sure about this). follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266
2. Download (from internet) and run eroot v1.3.4. Link: http://www.runamux.net/search/view/file/9fLmV0ty/ERoot-1014.html
Boot W9 to Android and enable USB Debugging. Run eroot (with admin privileges) and IF everything is ok you have to see Thl W9 recognized by eroot.
Click Root. You have to get 4 ticks. Unplug usb, close eroot.
3. Check root - install superuser - busybox.
You can follow this using adb commands: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272266
OR
Enable usb storage mode and copy to SD card the following APK files:
BusyBoxPro v9.9.
SuperSU v1.32
Root Explorer v3.1.1
Root Checker Pro v.1.2.8
You can find those on internet or xda forums. Install everything and run everything.
On root check pro you have to see green text when you press verify Root and BusyBox.
On root explorer you can access root and make it ro->rw (read only, read write).
ROOT IS DONE!
SECTION B - IF YOU HAVE THE OFFICIAL CHINESE ROM WITH NO GOOGLE APPS OR ACCIDENTLY INSTALL THE official CHINESE ROM AND WANT TO GO BACK.
1. Be sure that your rom is in good working condition with no errors.
Otherwise maybe is better to flash official rom again. Language only CN,EN.
Official ROM with flash tool here: http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/W9_20130702-FH16.rar
Source site: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/thl-w9/
If you have the international ROM and want to root, please go to section A.
2. PERFORM TASK 1 ON SECTION A.
3. DOWNLOAD SP FLASHTOOL OR BIRDA FLASH TOOL and official Rom THL W9. BirdA Flash tool included in rar file.
4. Select proper scatter file (specific for official chinese rom) and click download button on flash tool.
Turn Off and remove battery from W9. Wait 5 seconds and put back. Plug USB cable.
Flash tool should detect W9 and start to load... The process will end with a green circle small window. Unplug USB and turn W9 ON.
5. When boot go to settings and language & input. First option is language, switch to English. (Go with symbols because on first boot you got chinese)
6. Perform TASK 2 & 3 of Section A to ROOT W9.
7. Now you have to remove chinese apps. There is no specific way to do it, but the main idea is here:
a) uninstall everything you can from settings->apps.
b) disable everything you can from settings->apps->all. (Be careful to recognize what is chinese and not android's processes)
c) use Root app Delete application to remove unwanted chinese apps. (this is useful when attached to Android system) found on internet or xda forum.
8. Make it Google.
Extract apk files from gapps.zip. download here: http://goo.im/devs/UniqueDroid/gapps/gapps-4.2.1
I notice that google tts conflicting with existing. dont copy this.
Copy the files to your sd card,
Use Root Explorer installed on step 6, and move this apk files from sd card to root/system/app.
Restart. This will install all Google Files and you have to be able to google login, with google services etc.
9. Install extra apk files:
Playstore 4.3.11, maps7.0.0, googletts3.1, googlesearch 2.1.12.516912, youtube4.2.16 from APK files.
Download from internet or xda forums.
If you want to remove THL Stock lockscreen, you can use Holo Locker from play store.
If you ever had the error text to speech has stopped, then go to settings, language and input and under Text to speech select PICO TTS.

This is a quick guide to enable navigation bar on gt-i9500. So first of all I tell you that you require root access for enabling navigation bar. If u don't know how to do that so, install Kingroot and root your phone with it.
So my guide starts now:
1. Install Root Browser from Google Play Store.
2. Open Root Browser and grant root access.
3. Navigate to /system/build.prop.
4. Open build.prop using Text Editor.
5. In the end, just add this line:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
That's it! Do a full reboot and enjoy

Hello.
We have EMUI 3.1 Lite, which does not include some features. One of this feature is enable or disable camera shutter sound, it is not avaliable on our phone. I looked into build.prop and I saw here options, which were disabled, so I tried to enable them. First of them worked, it is enable/disable shutter sound option in camera settings, second not works, it's TimeLapse mode. TimeLapse mode showed in Camera app normally but when stopped recording, app started saving video infinitely,so this not work..
What do you need:
1. Huawei Y6 Pro or Huawei Enjoy 5
2. Unlocked bootloader and custom recovery like Cwm or two
3. Optionally root, which we don't have now (it will be faster)
What to do to enable it:
If you have root:
1. Open build.prop, find column ro.hwcamera.sound.muteable=false
2. Instead false write true, so it will look ro.hwcamera.sound.muteable=true
3. You have enabled this option!
If haven't root, but you have recovery and unlocked Bl:
0. Download Aroma FILE Manager flashable zip
0.1 Download root browser from Google Play
0.2 Open it, and go to system folder and open build.prop
0.3 Copy everything, exit build.prop and go to sdcard folder
0.4 Create new file, named build.prop
0.5 Open this new file. Paste everything.
0.6 Find ro.hwcamera.sound.muteable=false and set it to true
0.7 Save file
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Choose Aroma FILE Manager zip to install
3. It will open as normal file manager
3.1 On my TIT L01 CalrivWM recovery don't work touch, so I must use hardware keys, power and volume + -
4. Find your new saved build prop in sdcard folder, copy and paste it into system folder
4.1 For me touch not work. So I find my build prop, I had it in sdcard folder. I had to go down and click on Select all button (Power button is like OK, volume + is up and volume - Is down). Now I had to deselect all files, only build prop keep selected. When I have only build prop selected, I again went down and selected button Copy. Now I must go upside to go back to / and go to system folder where I pasted it.
5. Exit Aroma FILE Manager and reboot.
6. Complete!
If you want to enable TimeLapse, witch don't work for me, find column ro.hwcamera.timelapse=false and set it to true

Requirements:
. Root
. Android Pie
. File Explorer
. TWRP
WARNING: Neither me nor XDA is responsible for any issues that may happen on your device.
It is recommended to backup your rom
1. Go to the root tab of the file explorer and go to the vendor folder.
2. Inside the vendor> overlay> delete the following file: "framework-res__auto_generated_rro" (your device will reboot automatically, don't worry)
3. After the device turns on make sure the file is actually deleted. In that case, download the Navbar.zip file now, enter recovery mode and flash the file to TWRP and then turn on your device.
4. When you turn on your device, you may already notice the change, but if the navigation bar does not appear, go to settings> screen> navigation bar (you can use gestures if you wish)
ps: If you didn't like the change, you can go back to what you used to be with NavbarUninstaller.zip
