I was using M9 plus+. And there was any option in navigation button. Like a turn screen of. And you could turn screen of by this button without using power button. Which is I liked a. Lot. But know I'm using A9+ but there is no such as think navigation button. Isn't A9 include same option as a M9 plus+? Anyone can help?

Hmm... Seems like HTC left out this Feature on the A9s.
A9s has physical touch navigation buttons, while M9+ (as M9) had on-screen navigation bar (which you could customize).
So you can't turn screen of without power button, unless you use a specific app from the play store (there are plenty) and give it admin rights.
I use screen off

So I'm on rooted stock CM 11S (would like to stay on 11S cause it's running so great and smooth). I don't use the capacitive keys nor the on screen nav bar, I use LMT launcher (which is indispensable, IMO , with this big beautiful phone). One problem, when typing on the keyboard (I use SwiftKey) I often inadvertently hit the capacitive home button when pressing the space bar. Now I know you can disable the capacitive keys on some custom roms, but is there a way to do it on 11S? Maybe with Tasker, but I couldn't see a way to do it. Maybe with Xposed, but I'm using ART (and loving it). Any ideas? Thanks!
I don't have the phone yet, but yes you can. In fact, it is, kinda, one of the selling points: choice.

Yeah, you can choose between on-screen nav bar or capacitive ones but I am not using either one (again, I'm using LMT launcher). So, the capacitive keys are enabled (specifically the home key as you can actually disable the back and menu key in settings by assigning their short press action to "none") and, again, when I type I often accidentally hit the home key and it takes me out of what I'm doing.

Disable Capacitive buttons, then disable software buttons with other tools (there is one, but can't remember the name now though) ,???, profit.

Yeah, I thought of that but I'm using ART runtime.
You can use expanded desktop leaving the status bar visible. The soft keys will show if you drag from the bottom of the screen though.

How do you leave the status bar visible with expanded desktop? Don't think you can with stock CM11S. Plus, when you bring up the keyboard the hidden nav nar automatically comes up with expanded desktop.

Yep that's true. It's under the display and lights menu and shows as expanded desktop style. Oh you can turn off backlights and edit the keylayout file.

Why not go back to Dalvik, ART is not final yet and it almost doesn't make any difference. I tried both but didn't see any advantages of ART just disadvantages of not be able to do some customizations, like you want to do now.
Using Root Explorer (or CM file manager w/root), navigate to System > usr > keylayout, and open Generic.kl and put "#" before those lines

I am currently using the Galaxy s4 with native keys that are not on screen for home, back, etc. When using navbar / pie and changing home screen the home button on the nav bar / pie does not work if you hit it quickly after you change the screen. Same kind of thing with opening apps if I remember correctly. Is this delay something you see in the OnePlus One as well? Flip a homescreen, hit home on navbar really quick and let me know if you find the phone not responding. It's aa if I need to wait a second for the device to recognize the command although the physical home button works just fine. Just wanna know if this is the case for the 1+1 because I am looking to pick one up shortly, thanks for your time

I just installed ota of Android M and used to have a Tasker job run when dragging up the home button. This would allow me to lock the screen as if I hit the power button. Was a good way to eliminate a button press. Is there anyway to get similar functionality?

Yeah it's gone for me too. Found a bunch of subreddits, and everyone says theirs is gone too.
But Nova Launcher has a gestures feature, you can assign swipe up to anything you want, but it only works on the home screen.
I'm not really sure what my question is related to, but I'm sure it's a stupid one. This is my first phone with softbuttons. My previous phones were Samsungs, which had capacitive buttons. My last phone was a Note 3, which was still on Lollipop. I had always assumed that softbuttons were simply an on-screen version of what I was used to, but the behavior is different. Not sure if that's related to the newer OS, or what. The left capacitive button brought up the menu in the app, which was often redundant to an on-screen menu option within the app, but not always. For example, in Facebook, clicking the left button would bring up several options, logging out being one of them. On the Mate 9, there's a back button, which does the same thing as the back capacitive did, there's a home button, which does the same thing the main home button did, but the square button brings up the recent app list. On my Samsung, that was done by holding the home button. So there doesn't seem to be an equivalent to the menu button I had on the Samsung.
So the short question is: how do I bring up that short blue menu in Facebook with the option to log out?
There is no button menu,you have to logout from fb menu.
So, the little quick menu in Facebook that has Logout, Settings, About, and Report a Problem is only available on phones that have capacitive buttons? You have to wade through the much longer list of options within the Facebook app to find those things? It seems odd there isn't a softbutton equivalent. Or at least an option to add one.
For some reason Google thinks the menu buttom was useless and they got removed. Even Samsung phones now doesn't have it.
On the Mate 9 you have option for Back, Home, Recents, Notifications (optional).
Swiping left/right will turn on 'reachability' mode. Holding Home brings up Google Now/screen search. Holding Recents will activate split screen mode.

Even exist a floating button with home , recents,block and back options. You can activate it from quicksettings

Ah, ok, so this is really an issue of me being used to Lollipop, and moving to Nougat. I wasn't sure what the cause was. Thanks!

Well Google never implemented the menu buttom in the software-ones, just home/back/multitasking.
Hi guys!
I have a phone (Doogee Mix) without hardware home button but with fingerprint sensor and don't like to use software buttons so it means I struggle to find a way to launch Google Search Screen (hold home Button which is impossible without software/hardware home button).
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Lol, let me get this straight.
You don't have a home hardware key and you don't like software keys?
But you want a way to launch without home hardware key and without using software keys???
You don't ask for very much......do you?

But I have the fingerprint sensor which I wish to make working like home button. I mean I have the function of home button but holding fingerprint sensor just bring me to home without screen search function.
Maybe there is some display gesture/trick with this fingerprint sensor to make it work? Maybe I don't explain it clearly?
I'll look into your app, thanks.

Damn, this app works miracles but not exactly this one!
In a shorter way: I need an app which allows me to simulate hold Home Button (to open Screen Search) using gesture or for example Volume + button or Fingerprint sensor. It must be a solution!
