First you need to know how to root your phone then install SuperSu app, most root methods includes this. The using a root explorer(Root Explorer) edit build.prop which is located in /system/build.prop and open it and edit it. Add these lines to the build.prop
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
To disable capacitive buttons, download Xposed Installer and then download Xposed additions, add the three buttons, select screen on and disable all.
thanks , i did it using simple control app then edit the keys in the system by add # to them and that work

That works too but seemed a bit too complicated to explain here or maybe I couldn't explain it . Glad I was able to help.

ive read on other threads that you can disable the capacitive buttons on the GT-i9300 by going inputting '#' in front of lines 'key 132 back' and 'key 158 menu'. however when i remove the '#'s my capacitive buttons still stay disabled. how to i re enable them?
remove the #, check the permissions and reboot
ive removed the '#'s but i dont know what you mean by the permissions. is that superSu? if it is ive rebooted the phone and still they wont work.
check the file permissions with a file manager and make sure they're so the same as the other files in the folder

Hi Guys,
This is a quick dev guide to enable navigation bar for MyPhone A919i and Micromax CanvasHD.
The Jelly Bean operating system brought a whole new fluid user interface and some major tweaks.
"The soft keys were still there and i know many many guys very badly want those soft keys and it required lot of hassle on ics. But it is a lot easier on Jellybean. Either you can use the same method (if you prefer to) or you can try the new easier, safer and shorter method. And the best part is the soft keys work on STOCK ROMS!"
Now it’s time to edit! :victory:
1. The first and foremost thing you need is ROOT!
2. Then you will be needing a app on your device to edit the build.prop file. I recommend downloading ES File Explorer or Root Explorer from the play store.
3. First, backup your rom!…if anything goes wrong you will be able to restore it.
4. Open root explorer and navigate to the build.prop file in system/. Open it via your favorite text editor and look for qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 and change it to qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
5. And save the file. Now reboot.
You’re all done! Enjoy your on-screen buttons!
If you decide you don’t like them, simply change the "0" to "1" and you’re back to normal.
Please hit thanks and give credits.
There is another way to get this right. Root your phone!!! Install Xposed Framework. Then Install Gravitybox mod. Now Gravitybox 2.4.1 has the option to override system and enable this navigational bars on screen. Not only that. It also allows to customize the navigation bar which is not possible with your way.

pls help me i am unable to get navbar by both the methods:crying::crying:
This is a quick guide to enable navigation bar on any android device. So first of all I tell you that you require root access for enabling navigation bar. If u don't know how to do that so, install Kingroot and root your phone with it.
So my guide starts now:
1. Install Root Browser from Google Play Store.
2. Open Root Browser and grant root access.
3. Navigate to /system/build.prop.
4. Open build.prop using Text Editor.
5. In the end, just add this line:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
That's it! Do a full reboot and enjoy

Yes, I deleted the Line and was fine.
Do you think will work if I install xposed? I mean a module that "force" a navbar.

Nah , I actually tried that . only apps can give us a working nav bar with unsopported systemUI, why don't you try to install a rom, or decompile the systemUI and add nav bar into it
Is there an adb trick for this to work on non rooted phones
Great.. Working... Can we change the icon or the color?

Use some tweaks apps like xposed or decompile the systemui of your rom and change the icon file and recompile it

Hey bro, my device is J7 pro and it's unrooted. Can i enable the navigation bar in it by using any adb command?!
thanks man works like a charm on Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 kitkat firmware
Thanks worked as well with LOS14.1 without default options to toggle the nav bar!
1. Go to /system/usr/keylayout
2. Rename the Generic.kl to Generic.txt
3. Open this file with an text editor*
4. Search for WINK and replace it with CAMERA
5. Rename it back to Generic.kl (otherwise you won't be able to press any hardware button after reboot
6. Restart your device
you can change Bixby Button to several things but i prefer CAMERA on this great note8 .
There's Root available?
Root is available via Magisk and Super SU. Exynos only though.

I've been looking how to apply theses steps o a Samsung Galaxy with Lineage OS.
You can follow the steps as described in the post, but you won't find button 703 on the "Generic.kl" file. You have to search for a file named "gpio_keys.kl" on the same folder:
/root/system/usr/keylayout/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also, I've found other commands to try if you wish:
APP_SWITCH - Recent apps button
ASSIST - Google Assistant (with item display on the screen)
CALCULATOR - Open default calculator app
CALENDAR - Open default calendar
CALL - Open default call app
CAMERA - Open camera
CONTACTS - Open default contacts app
EXPLORER - Favorite internet browser
HOME - Homebutton
MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE - Play pause media
MESSAGE - Default messenger
MUSIC - starts your favorite music player
POWER - Power menu
QPANEL_ON_OFF - Notification area
SYSRQ - Take a screenshot
VOICE_ASSIST - Google Assistant
VOLUME_DOWN - Sets volume down
VOLUME_MUTE - Volume media (set default media volume in phone setting)
VOLUME_UP - Sets volume up
All the steps described above have worked for me on a Galaxy S8 and a Galaxy S9+, with Lineage OS 15.1 and Lineage OS 16.
For whoever is using a custom ROM and the bixby button is either disabled or cannot customize with the usual Bixby remap app, I have found a solution: (Root needed for #1, #2 works without root)
>Solution #1 (First try this, if it doesn't work - it didn't work for me for some reason - try solution #2):
With tips from the community, I have found these possible locations to edit the bixby key. Use root file explorer:
- /root/system/usr/keylayout/gpio_keys.kl
- /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
- /vendor/usr/keylayout/gpio_keys.kl (?)
Search for key 703 in each of these files. If it does not exist, try to add it manually. Effects take place after a reboot.
Use this guide here for more details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...on-with-simple-double-and-long-press.3839544/
>Solution #2 - Button Mapper: Remap your keys (Not my app)
First, try to see if you can remap the bixby key with this app. For me, it did not work again, but I found a nice workaround:
In the app, instead of changing "Bixby Button", go to "Add Buttons". Now, press the bixby key. The app should detect the key, and finally you can set it to whatever you want.
(But keep in mind, for this option, it is necessary to purchase the pro version).

I installed Magisk and Root Explorer. I don't have 703. Since I don't know English well, the instructions on the link are complicated for me. Can you briefly explain to me how to get Bixby to launch the desired application with one click? Thank you in advance.

Same problem as me, I didn't find 703 anywhere.. you can try manually adding it though, maybe it will work. Like:
key 703 CAMERA
save, reboot device, check if works.
Remember to save file with .kl extension, not .txt, or buttons wont work

if as you said you cant find anywhere "703" in the file, write at the end just like the others, (you can open and edit the file straight away from the root explorer)
key 703 [desired command]
for example
key 703 CAMERA
then save file and reboot phone. If it works, after pressing the bixby key the default camera app should open.
Some people say it works, for me it didn't work though.

It didn't work for me either. I worked like that, but I also typed something like this, but without success.
# input_fw Intelligent Key for Dream
key 703 CAMERA
When I change everything, I save it, after that I change the txt name to kl. It needs Check Permissions after that, and I don't see it in Root Explorer. Maybe you need to go to Settings, select the app and check the permissions? I do not know.

Weird - first check in Magisk that root explorer has root permissions. Second try to edit the file at once without first chaning to .txt - most editors support it, no need to change. If that still doesnt work, try a different root file explorer app. For me worked "root browser".

Root Explorer works for me. The system is rooted, and I confirmed it when I opened Root Explorer. You say it didn't work for you. Neither did I. I did everything according to the instructions.
