Im looking for a rom that has the 3 navigation keys at the bottom of the screen, and disable the touch sensitive buttons, preferably a Touch wiz ROM, im tired of watching a video and hitting the back button and losing my spot

There is most likely not a touch wiz rom; however, slim bean aosp works.
There is a two button mod someehere

if youre set on staying with tw, theres a way to add the nexus nav bar by editing the build prop.
dont know how, youd have to search though.
This is pretty easy to do, I've only tested on AOSP roms like CM10.1 though. I doubt this would work with a TouchWiz rom.
First DO A NANDROID BACKUP.
Then get the Build Prop Editor from the Play store.
Then use that to set
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
If you can't find that entry then add it and set to zero.
Then reboot, should be all it takes.
Then you might want to remove the back-lighting from the hardware buttons. If you do:
System Settings -> Advanced -> Sensors -> Uncheck "Enable keys backlight"

don't enable all functions of gravity box try on by one and figure it out which function making problem
This is why rom developers advise not to use xposed at all. The modules are unstable at best and can mess things up randomly

did that, seems to be be the app itself causing it.
anyway which model do you own? it seems to me gravity box is not compatible for your phone's version
The instructions to enable system ui tuner on the web don't appear to be working...holding down the sprocket on the toggle screen till it spins doesn't enable the menu...anyone else know how to get to it?
Also still looking for a way (non xposed) to assign long hold of back button to kill foreground app.
Should say system UI tuner added to settings after holding for about 5 seconds.

It should..I agree...thats what all the suggestions say and I can see the wheel spin....but it's not in the list. Are you saying it worked for you? If so I may need to go back to a fresh install and try this again.

For me also it worked.
I finally got the thing to appear and I'm still not certain how...I think marshmallow is much more picky about the touchscreen and the glass screen protector I have on it....taps are not being interpreted right all the time....anyway thanks for confirming. Ironically by the time I enabled the menu I had already enabled xposed and found ways to set all the things I woul d have been able to do from system ui.
I updated gravity box and installed Android N ify, after that I couldn't use my soft keys. I uninstalled both apps but nothing happened. I am using the latest ROM with ElementalX.
Any potential fixes? I don't want to start fresh again

That's why you should always take a backup before you do/try things that can affect your operating system.
A possible solution is to uninstall xposed framework with the flashable uninstaller zip and dirty flashing the ROM you are running. Its possibly a setting you accedently enabled without knowing what you we're doing.

You're first post was on the 24th and you post again today. Have you really been going 5 days without softkeys?
First off, when you say you couldn't use your softkeys, are you saying they are visually their and tapping them does nothing. Or are they gone completely? GravityBox is the only module out of those two that can hide or even disable the softkeys. Did you turn them off in the app under the navigation bar options? There is also an expanded desktop mode in the "display tweaks."
Simply installing gravity box and N-ify shouldn't disable your softkeys as long as you are using everything right.

It was a backup device, I don't know what I did. I uninstalled both apps and still had this issue. And expanded desktop was of when I did it, it appeared that it just didn't simply load.

I will try that, I'll keep posted when I do it
So my device is now rooted and running magisk + xposed. I haven't installed many modules yet, just viper4androidFX, VOLTE, and gravity box. I also switched my launcher back to my good old comfortable sense 9 launcher. Works almost perfect, I am getting HTC service pack FC every so often, but I can live with that for now if it lets me use the launcher I want.
Anyway, there are a couple tweaks I'd like to make that I had on my old phone, but I can't use the same sense based xposed modules so I was wondering if anyone knew of any xposed or magisk modules, or some other method to achieve these mods on the ROG.
1. change Icon shape/size as by default, the top of the circle shape gets cut off on the homescreen. Changing size under display settings fixes this, but then I find some things TOO small
2. Make status bar always opaque black with white icons
3. change battery icon (I have a pack I want to install in PNG format) - I've done the systemui.apk method in lollipop, can anyone tell me if this is the only currently working method?
After this the only thing I want to do is fix the force close and take a nanodroid backup in twrp (when its officially available for .48 or later fw)
Thanks in advance!
Regarding point one the only thing I can think of is using Nova launcher. Here you can change the size of the icons on the homescreen, their style aswell as their labels.
The only easy way I know of to change the battery icon is with Gravitybox.
Which options did you activate in Gravitybox?
If I try modding the statusbar or navbar I'm getting a ton of force closes from SystemUI or the screen stays black after a reboot. Which I suppose is a compatibility error given that this isn't exactly AOSP.

Well I fixed the icons getting cut off by setting a custom dpi thats sort of in between small and default. Looks okay I guess, not a huge fan of the circle icon but at least its not cut off.
in gravitybox I changed these settings:
power button torch
torch timeout set to 30 mins
increase volume steps
increased AM/PM scaling to 75%
changed 4g to LTE
allow all rotations
some settings would cause the same black screen you mentioned, in which case I would reboot to safe mode, clear the app data, reboot and try new settings until it worked. I'm not sure which setting exactly causes this but most of them still do work. I am able to change the battery icon in gravitybox also, but I don't really love what they have so I left it off. Maybe if they allowed percent only, or if you could change the font and position of "battery text". Theirs is too bold for me and not in the right spot.
Its too bad no one else seems to want a static status bar. Always black looks so nice IMO and no modules that support past lollipop offer such a thing :/
Were you able to make much improvement in the sound quality with Viper? From what I've read and heard, the speakers are loud but lacking quality.
What is your impression of the cameras? Any interest in trying gCam?
Not sure who your carrier is but does the VoLTE module work for you? Literally the only thing preventing me from using my phone as a daily driver is VoLTE and WiFi calling (no cell signal at work unfortunately). But would like some feedback before I go down this path myself.

Haven't tested it yet, but the module itself installs and causes no problems of its own. I'll definitely let you know next time I get a call!
(PS Im on Bell in Ontario which from my understanding does support VoLTE, not sure if thats for all LTE bands but the ROG has 4/6 lte bands that bell offers.)
Even if it turns out its not working right now doesn't mean someone wont figure out how to force enable at some point. And there are a handful of modules that are working so I expect there will be more over time.

The speakers by default IMO are pretty good quality as long as you don't set it to outdoor mode. (for reference my PC speakers are 8" studio monitors) There was some muddiness somewhere between the 125hz and 250hz band, and a bit of harshness around 4khz so I bumped them down a few db in viper and it sounds a bit clearer and smoother.
The phone comes with "audiowizard" which at least gives you a treble/bass slider and a 6 band eq so I'm just using viper to fine tune the speakers and BT audio.
Cameras are actually pretty good. I'm coming from a HTC One m7 so maybe I just dont know what I'm talking about but I thought the quality was good. Someone here posted about video being noisy in low light, which it kinda is, but if you use pro mode you can change "S" which I assume is shutter speed or something which when set right looks much much better.(and a little darker) Still way better than the m7. I can post some examples if you'd like.
I tried gcam but I dont think it was using any ai processing because the images came out worse. maybe it was an older apk. I was more focused trying to get sense weather clock widget working haha
Thanks for the reply.
Which gCam did you try? There is a moribund thread discussing gCam for ROG here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone/themes/google-camera-rog-phone-t3858294.

Yea I saw that thread, I tried the one linked up top. I read through the other posts but didn't bother going through that big unsorted list linked lower down. If someone wants to point me to the correct apk to download I would test it out.

Hi bro can you teach me how to root my Rog phone please
Sorry but may I ask how you got viper to work at all?
I install it via magisk and do the activate/reboot as usual but after opening viper and checking the status, I see it says abnormal which means it's not working.
Any ideas or help to get this working for me and maybe others with the same problem?
Thanks.

Yea make sure you have busybox installed, and selinux permissive before installing viper. I used "the selinux switch" from the play store. Let me know if that works. TBH I think its selinux that prevents it from running correctly.
If that doesn't work, you can also try audio mod library in magisk, i installed that in case the the asus eq app would conflict with viper. And also so I can stack that + ViperFX + Xhifi haha
BTW still on FW .48 from november, never bothered to update...

Thanks, i had busybox already as a magisk module installed, as well as the audio mod library, so really the only thing i did'nt try was the selinux switch, so i install it & set that to permissive then got viper to work from magisk.
Thanks heaps for that info . :good:
