Navbar buttons - HTC One Max

I've managed to get them working and changed a few settings. Works on HTC One Max, stock sprint rooted sense Rom. But this will most likely work on all Roms. I wanted this to be able to use the native buttons. I used button saver app for a long time and must say, "it is a very good app." I use a mouse on my phone while I'm at my desk probably 20-30 hours a week. Yes a keyboard also 8^)
The navbar needs to be activated in the build prop.
Search icon looks a little different than stock. And themes don't work very well. They keep the default white icons, except for the search icon. It's the only one that changes. But I have that one disabled anyway.
1) In the build prop changed, it happened to be at the very end of my build prop. So it was easy to find.
"#qemu.hw.mainkeys=1"
to,
"qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
That alone will activate the navbar, otherwise known as buttons.
To change buttons,
2) Xposed framework is necessary.

I find that hard to believe. Upload your build prop and I'll take a look for you

I checked the build prop and there was no qemu so I added it and rebooted and the soft keys wasn't on my screen.

Did you make sure it was there after a reboot? I'm on a sense rom also.

@mwebb34
Did you mount system as R/W before editing build.prop?

---

@Flyhalf205 I sure didn't thanks buddy.

Are you sure?

T6UL. Mount /system as r/w.
Change permissions of file to 777.
Add in the required line.
Save, get a prompt saying original was saved as build.prop.bak
Reboot
No joy.
Does one need s-off for this?

To edit system files you need S-OFF even if you mount the /system as r/w. You'll have to do this in recovery or edit on pc and adb push it.

Ah. Thanks for the explanation.

Easy way to Enable Navbars on all variants on S-ON
Well after few days I came up with this trick on how you can enable navbars on all HTC variants on S-ON.
Since I was on S-ON it was very difficult to make changes to the systems files because after reboot it goes back to default.
The easiest way to do this is to download this flashable zip *(found in the attachment below)*.
With the help of a file explorer, copy phone's build.prop to PC.
Open it and add the magic code as usual to the last line
Code:
"qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
Now extract the zip file and copy to /system/
Zip and flash via recovery.
That is it. Isn't that simple?
If you are finding any difficulty, upload your build.prop file here so I could make it for you.
Here is the proof

I haven't tried this but since xposed works on S-ON, why not just use the Xstana xposed module?

Didn't know about that module, this was my way I discovered so I decided to share it. Also it might be that not everyone is on xposed.

Could just make a flash zip that just adds the line to the bottom of the build.prop.
