I have probably the same setup. Would be nice if we had the Touch Key Light Duration option in Settings like the S3 had (or maybe it's part of TouchWiz). That would be far easier than running another app just to turn the lights off.
I also use SoftKeyZ from the Play Store to customize the on screen buttons.

Nav bar
Can you help with how you got the nav bar? I found some links on xda, but looking for more.
Thanks
Matt

Make sure you're rooted.
go to a file manager that can edit text files ( I used root manager),
go to system/ and find build.prop. open it with an editor,
add the line
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
at the bottom of your build prop, save/exit, reboot.

Yup. This is also what I did. I just used Root Explorer. A long press on the file lets you edit in a text editor.

ZTE Blade S6: Low microphone volume during calls [SOLVED]

Just to let you know...
Low microphone volume during calls is a problem on this phone with stock rom. People cannot hear what you are saying in most cases. The easiest solution for this is to disable "Dual Microphone" in the call app settings. It solves the problem.

Can u please give me the steps to do this please.
Thanks

Sure, open the native dialer-app, in the quick dial window to the left push the three dots in the upper right corner, choose "Settings", choose "Call settings", disable "Dual microphone". Viola...

What is your firmware?
This method is actual for the original firmware.
If you have unofficial firmware, then mute the microphone through editing the file build.prop
persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true -> persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false

"Virtual button" / On-screen buttons?

Has anyone figured out how to turn on on-screen buttons instead of using the capacitive/physical buttons? In the control center, there's option to turn on "virtual button" and it allows you to disable the capacitive/physical buttons, but nothing shows up on the screen.

That only allows you to disable the hard buttons though, doesn't enable soft ones (on screen nav buttons). There's a way to enable them by default editing the build.prop but people were saying it didn't work on emui for some reason. One guy said it works fine, so I don't know. Requires root too though. No root in sight for US variants so far.

I got it working by adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 on build.prop.
From there, I got physical buttons to not work by modifying synaptics_dsx.kl file in /System/USR/KEYLAYOUT.
You simply put # in front of all the listed entries (e.g., # key 158 BACK VIRTUAL.)
From there, I also disabled button back light by modifying an another system file. I forgot which file it is.
After those three steps, it is as if it came with soft keys without physical buttons.

If I understood that correctly, then you don't need to use softkeys. After the latest update, if you go to accessibility, there is an option for enabling the button backlight as long as the phone screen is on. I attached a picture clearly showing the option if it might help.

Was exactly what I'm looking for, but I haven't this setting option. Are you at 5.8.0.19S? I'm still on 18S.
So I have to wait

Yep I'm on 19S. I thought all US models had gotten the update, but I forgot that this phone came out in other countries previously ( -_- ). So I suppose you just have to wait a few more days/weeks and hopefully you get the update.

Like this?
Install SimpleControl

OR you can Flash CM13 rom they have option for on screen navigation key and disable the hardware one, or you can keep the hardware as stock rom.
This rom I was using it I found it best CM13 rom by far: CM13 LEX720 by Team Superluminal

Nova Launcher also can show the software buttons

so far this worked, did you remember what file the backlight keys are controlled by?

Klara Kaiser said:

There isn't a file. He said "he cant remember" because he is lying
The backlight controls are driven by two files in /sys/class/leds/button-backlight. Files in the /sys folder are pseudo files created at runtime from the kernal. You would need to mod the kernal to permanently turn the lights off.

Does anyone have the same problem?

I am using cm 14.1 and have updated to the newest version, but there's a problem. I have already turned off "Ambient display" ,but the screen has been waking up occasionally. Need some help.

Try this
Go to Display->Ambient Display
Now toggle Overwrite defaults
Then turn off "Pick up sensor trigger", and "Notification trigger"
?

I'll try it

Help me deactivate Ambient display via root (The menu is not working)

Hi,
I already turned off the Ambient Display in Display settings, but when I get notifications, it still lights up and activates the screen periodically. I'm on December 1st 2017 security patch.
Anyone have the same issue?
If you guys have the same issue, please vote my report in MI forums, so they can take the action when there is enough attention. VOTE HERE

I do have same issue. With the option off the screen still powers on when a notification arrives. Did you found any fix?

Try to run this shell command using root access
Code:
settings put secure doze_enabled 0

It's only turn off screen ambient mode. I'm using command line from AOSP source code. You can verify this code from here DeviceSetup.java
