Hey guys I've seen on many form people complaining about Samsung not allowing devices to use the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 due to marshmallow. I know you can install gravity box through xposed and use the lockscreen method. I do not want to flash xposed due to the chance of bricking my phone lol, and was wondering if someone know of another way to enable the softkeys without gravity box. Thank you in advance for your help!
Good day.
If you want to enable or disable hardware keys, you could try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.hardwaredisabler
If you want softkeys, you could try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol&hl=pt_PT
Hope it helps.
Thanks, but I've tried activating it through the app but it seems in Marshmallow Samsung disabled the softkeys. So I was wondering if there was a work around without having to install xposed module.

Does this Modul work with your OPO?
Can someone Test it?
Its not working here. I use SkipLock now but i would love to use the Module
I remember installing this and it did not work. I thought it was just me, but glad to know I am not alone.
I ended up using Tasker. Go figure.
Would like to know if its possible? I rather Softkeys and disable capacitive buttons, just my preference; however nothing seems to work. Modifying build.prop does nothing and enabling navigation bar through Gravity Xposed causes SystemUI crashes.
Sorry NO. I tried via gravitybox but got fc system all the time device couldn't boot up properly. Had to uninstall all the xposed and reinstall again
Ok thank you for the response guess we need to wait a little longer when there is another method available.
Are you rooted, I know the note 2 you could edit the build prop. also there is an xsposed module , I forgot what its is called softkeys or something.

Yes I'm rooted, I tried editing build prop through ES File explorer and Xposed but nothing brings up the soft keys.
That stinks, sorry about that. I just searched and this guy says that there is an app in the play store you can use, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_eJbLeZtSs It looks like the stock soft keys but i know its not exactly what you looking for, but the video shows it functions the same.

yes I tried that app however it blocks content that sits behind the bar and it gets annoying lol. Funny thing is I was able to turn off the capacitive buttons while keeping the home button working but for the life of me I just can't get anything app or mod or xposed to bring up the navigation bar.

I just searched did you edit your build prop and change this to a Zero qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
this link is for the S4 but maybe it might help http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...sable-capacitative-keys-enable-soft-keys.html
This link says the same line works on the S6

Yes, I added that entire line exact then rebooted and nothing. No navigation bar even the when I go back to the buid prop I see that the line is still there. Thanks
I'd also like to know if this is possible, sick of pressing the hardware buttons by mistake, I tried editing the build prop and trying to force it through gravity box but the latter caused the system ui to constantly crash so I had to restore my backup.

If you install Good Lock then use Gravity Box it works.

Those interested in enabling navbar perhaps up-vote my request here http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=14415#featureRequests
Hi All,
I am very new to Xposed and I just finished installing V85. Thanks for the TuT!
If you could, would you list your favorite Plug-ins and why you like them? I would like very much to have a review'ish type list to measure a particular plug-in's popularity.
I figure if someone posts their favorite and we get a lot of likes or re-posts of the same plug-in then I can make a more informed decision on what I would like to use.
Thanks in advance!

I use Boot Manager, Gravity Box, G4 Tweaksbox and GEL Settings. Be careful for conflicting tweaks, enable one at a time between reboots.
My go-to Xposed plugins are:
G4 Tweaksbox - so I can skip tracks by long-pressing the volume keys; also various theme tweaks, disabling low battery warnings, etc.
NotifyClean - originally so I could hide the WiFi Calling persistent notification (IPService), but now I no longer use it.
Secure Settings - I rely on Tasker for a lot of things, and this is required for special functions (like waking the screen).
Youtube AdAway - what ads?
Youtube Background Playback - I disable auto-update of the Youtube app so it stays in sync with this plugin
App Settings is nice if you like changing the DPI for certain apps. Amplify + Greenify is a nice battery saving combo that feature xposed modules.
App settings, One Tap YouTube module, YouTube background playback, YouTube adAway
Youtube AdAway and Youtube Background seems popular
Could anyone give me a link to the most recent xposed framework?

did you stop using NotifyClean because you no longer needed it or because it was causing issues? for me, I need this module, but it seems to be causing SystemUI crashes on MM and Xposed 85... contacted author in thread, but no response =(
Can anyone please recommend an xposed module for immersive mode on V10?

G4 tweaksbox will work to get rid of nav bar but will not help with status bar. Don't use gravity box, it won't work for immersive.

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried a few other things also and discovered that "immerse me" works fine on my phone. It was a surprise for me because the description says the module is for kitkat. Others can try it if they are looking for immersive mode (all apps) for marshmallow on V10.

I stopped using wifi calling, so I stopped needing NotifyClean. However, it appears I still have it installed while running MM and it hasn't caused any issues. I just re-enabled wifi calling and it hid the notification immediately without causing any problems. I'm running Xposed framework version 83 and one of the earlier versions of Eliminater74's MM rom.

I was thinking of checking that module out as well, but I paid for NotifyClean and hopefully it's still being developed on by @defim... unfortunately I have not heard anything as of yet.

thanks for the info! do you have fingerprint unlock enabled by any chance? that's my issue with NotifyClean... it keeps restarting SystemUI and I'd be alright with it if it didn't break fingerprint unlock.

I just set up a fingerprint, enabled a PIN lockscreen, and was able to unlock the screen with my fingerprint. Confirmed that it worked after a reboot. (Though the first time unlocking after rebooting gives me "Unable to use fingerprint," but is fine after that.)

if you're able to keep an eye on things and report back to let me know, that would be appreciated. for me NotifyClean and fingerprint unlock do work, however after some time without any reboots or anything out of the ordinary that I'm aware of my device locks the screen and won't accept fingerprint unlock. I know the phone hasn't rebooted on its own to cause this because I've literally put the phone down for less than 2 minutes only to have to enter the password to unlock. my phone is set to lock after 10 minutes... I've checked the Xposed logs to find nothing in there and only after I disable this module does this issue not happen again.
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.

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
I got a new case for my phone and it blocks a tiny portion of the notification bar, which can make pulling it down a bit of a chore. Wondering if there are any options out there to deal with this. Thanks.
Is your phone rooted? If not, then no way. With root, you may have options, depending on ROM, etc.

Dunno. You can google it.
If you have root and install Xposed, this Xposed module may work according to description:
