Disable soft keys - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Enabled immersive to hide the navbar. I also have an app that does this, but getting the soft keys to not display when you swipe up is what I am trying to accomplish.
I have an app called OnePlus gestures to enable gesture Nav, have the Navbar hidden, but when swiping, the soft keys keep appearing. Also tried the hw key build prop file set to 1, doesn't work at all to disable them.
The Oneplus app from the store has a navbar hid feature that disables it, but it seems to have broke something with my AOD substrate I like to run and the percentage disappears on the AOD screen now at the bottom, something with the overlay I guess on the latest build.
Anyway, if someone know how to disable the softkeys so I can just use Gestures...would be great...the navbar hide function, no problem..but the soft keys annoying reappearing is the issue now.
Thanks

If your using an essential phone try adb shell wm overscan 0,-143,0,0. What are you using for navigation?

Any way to hide/disable menu buttons when typing in landscape?

I'm a pretty sloppy typist and I find that when I'm typing in landscape mode I'm constantly hitting the soft menu buttons underneath the space bar (home, keyboard hide, and app switcher). As you might imagine, this is pretty annoying as I'm constantly losing the page I'm working on. Does anyone know of an app or setting that will either hide or disable the three soft keys when I'm typing?

3-Dot Menu Disappeared

So many months ago I altered my build.prop to remove the annoying amazon navigation bar hogging the right side of my screen. To replace the navigation buttons, I've been using 'Button Savior' and it's all been working beautifully.
My issue is that, for a small number of programs, the menu button included with 'Button Savior' doesn't activate the options menu. And the 3-dot menu button seems to have disappeared for those programs as well. So for OfficeSuite and a CPU management app, I have no ability to enter the settings/options menu.
Is there a fix for this? Using Gapps ROM Version 2.
Thanks

I have run into this same issue using Auto Hide Soft Keys and the Press application. I have to toggle Auto Hide Soft Keys to access the apps settings button. Initially I thought it may just be a landscape quirk since the Fire OS side buttons are gone when they usually are there in landscape, but I've got the same issue in portrait mode too.

[Q] disable virtual keys in video streaming

hello members.. please, in my application payed for streaming footbal soccer italian tim league, in full screen i cannot remove the virtual keys in orizontal mode viewing. the orizontal mode is obligatory and in other apps (eg youtube) i don't see these keys... is there a way for removing these keys?

I'm not sure you can remove the softkeys on a per app basis
alternative is to root, install xposed and lg pie control, then install something like 'gmd auto hide soft keys' or lmt launcher (pie controls)

please i installed but not disappeared and how i return to visible the keys?
you have to activate lg pie control in xposed.. that will get rid of the soft keys on reboot
make sure to have an alternative controls installed though or you won't be able to navigate.. personally i use 'lmt launcher' which can be got from this very xda site, this gives you pie type controls which can be configured to your personal liking. I can't vouch for gmd controls because I've never used them, but they are popular.

Keyboard changing button in Navigation bar

Does anyone know how to remove the keyboard button on the navigation bar? It's in the bottom right and only appears when the keyboard is in use. I've checked keyboard settings, and navigation bar settings and neither have a disable option. I've read that a way to remove it is to freeze the stock keyboard app, but i'd rather not resort to that. I know it used to just be an ongoing notification while the keyboard was up, but now it's just in the bottom right. I've tried "Navbar apps" but it doesn't have the option to disable that. Is there any other way?

MiA1 Android Pie (9) Navigation Buttons.

I just received the official Android 9 (Pie) update. After updating, I went to the settings and enabled the "Swipe up home button" gesture.
It disables the default navigation buttons, and enables the new bar at the bottom. However, the lights of the default navigation buttons are still responding to the touch, and I cannot seem to turn it off.
Is anyone else facing the same issue? What should I do to disable those?
You can't disable the lights without root , Xiaomi made it like this.
