I recently got this phone, and thanks to this forum, was able to install Magisk, get root, install Ad Away, etc.
I really hate the Android Pie pill button so I went to the setting to turn it off, and the entire gestures menu is missing from the stock Sony Xperia 9 firmware. I've got root and adb access and have tried to set keys like system_navigation_keys_enabled, but the stock rom doesn't seem to respect any of them.
Please tell me there's a way to disable that pill button on this stock rom.
EDIT: Figured it out thanks to some help from someone on Reddit.
You have to disable the XperiaHome application. I installed Nova Launcher, but I still couldn't force stop/disable it, even after a reboot. I have a really old purchase for Titanium Backup Pro which was able to disable it. I rebooted and got my buttons back!

Noob here. I need some help please. I installed the latest Xposed installer on a Asus TF700 running Crombi-KK RC 2. I installed several modules rebooted so everything would activate but after the home page came up there were no more soft keys at the bottomie: return, home, recent. I tried going into Closed to search some of the module settings to see if I could find the problem but if I open a setting to see if it could be responsible for the problem I can not back out because I do not have soft buttons. I tried stopping and disabling Xplosed in the settings/apps but could not back out that either for same reason, no soft buttons. The only think I can do is reboot but that has not solved my problem. Does anyone know which modules could be causing this problem? I also disabled my full screen app hoping that it had been enabled but it wasn't. Thanks.
Disable your modules one by one (open the Xposed installer, go to modules, disable one or more, select "Framework" from the drop down menu, then tap "Soft reboot"). No soft keys needed for that.
You can also temporarily disable them all, check the stuck thread for info on which key combo to use while your device is booting.

I'm struggling about get rid of the avigationbar, yet you already achieved that XDD
I guess that could because of UDN or Gravitybox
temp solution

if u cant recover from what you have done reboot into safe mode by holding power button and click and hold power off and click OK. :good:
after rebooting into safe mode. goto settings > apps and uninstall Xposed or clear its data.
Thanks, that is what did and now have soft keys. I did try disabling the navigation bar stuff in GravityBox but that did not work so I removed GravityBox but still using some of the other Xposed modules.
NO NO NO!

gravitybox is awesome. dont uninstall gravitybox
goto gravitybox>Navigation bar settings and enable the master switch for the nav bar and check enable navigation bar. then rebbot and customize
hit the thanks button if u think i helped you (Y)
Did as you suggested and now everything is okay. I did those steps when I first installed GravityBox so I do not know what went wrong. The only thing I did differently is I did not update to the latest version, maybe that had something to do with it.:highfive:
Softkeys gone due to xposed
I hv sony xperia e1 rooted with latest version of xposed installed.
When i installed "Sergir Blurred System UI" module to get translucent notification panel My Softkeys went after the reboot. I disabled the module from xposed and uninstalled it but nothing worked for me. But when I opened xposed installer and in the framework tab I uninstalled the framework then everything worked fine even the keys came back. But I want to customise my phone with xposed and whenever I install framework my keys go away.
I hv even tried toggling immersive mode but it didn't work 4 me.
I tried clearing data of xposed from settings but that also didn't work.
Or is there another good way to get a reboot option that is almost as simple as just using the power button?
Thanks
I believe you need to be rooted to make rebooting work, bit most toggle apps will have that option.
Tried Quick Boot?

I am rooted and was hoping to avoid a toggle app, I have used power toggles on previous phones and liked it but now with lollipop pull down not sure I want to use a toggle app.

I will look into that app.
Edit: While checking the reboot apps I realized that I have rom toolbox pro, which has a rebooter widget. I am such an idiot.
So I guess the question should be, how can we add advanced reboot menu to the power button?
Hi all.
I installed cm13 on my mi5 pro yesterday. Looking good so far. I only have minor issues. The first and most important is I can't swap the back and recent button. I've already got used to miui method ( back on the right, recent button on the left).
How can I change them on cm13? Unfortunately closed+gravity can't help me, because after installing them my banking app (Barclay's) thinks that my phone is rooted and closes with an FC. I've also tried the buttons on the screen option, but in this way I lose screen size, though I can change the buttons I believe.
The other small issue is that I don't really like the menu in this alphabetical order system. Can I use something else instead? Like what is in Nova launcher, just a normalenu, nothing else.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers!
the first issue is related to kernel... when cm will be based on the kernel released from xiaomi, the problem will be solved. don't worry, developers are working on it
I found the a method and it is working:

For the drawer style you can change that in the launcher's settings. Long press a free spot on your home screen, then press settings and change style to "compact".
This swaps the two capacitive buttons around to xiaomi setup instead of Google
you can also find it on this url: https://store.shade.sh/mi5/ from the unofficial cm13 weekly build thread if you do not wish to download it from myself
Thank you guys its working like a miracle.
Now I have another problem, but this time it looks massive.
So my problem is that cm13 is pre rooted when you install it. Well, I have no problem with it, but unfortunately my banking app ( Barclay's) has. I can't use it, because it says rooted device not supported. I've already checked developer options, and root access is disabled, but this doesn't help, I still have issues with the app. I tried flash SuperSU+binaries from twrp, opened app after flash and use full unroot, same problem, banking app thinks my phone is still rooted. I'm thinking about trying out the slim (aosp based) ROM if I can't find any working method.
Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you one again

Tried out this method, but as soon as I tried to start banking app, it closed with an fc. Yes I remember now, that was the problem few days back.
Hm...I can't think anything else..

Try using shade.sh's userbuilds. They are built without built in root. They are under the category "userbuilds" on his website.
Success!
I had to install aosp to to realize what's the problem here. After I did that the same problem happened.: Banking app says my phone is rooted. So I tried doing the same methods on aosp what I did on cm13, except Xposed+gravity because I knew my apps gonna FC. So I tried safe unroot apk from play store, no luck. I also tried this app the night before.
Then i thought maybe I should enable root in developer options, because yesterday morning with this was a half success, Barclays mobile banking app( debit card) said, the device is rooted, I touched ok, then it started without any problems. It was only half success, because the other app Barclaycard (credit card) didn't work, same problem: the phone is rooted. So I tried out the following, and that was the complete success:
Enabled root access for apps only in dev options than i started safe unroot from play->everything's working like a charm.
Thank you guys for help!
I don't get notifications working. Tried just about everything. Different stock roms, unlocked or locked bootloader, with or without twrp, with or without SuperSU/Magisk root...
In SafeCenter, and in later 3.5 Roms 'Security' app I disable all auto accelerate, anti spam, antivirus, auto cleanup. I white listed all apps/associated apps in autostart.
Enabled/disabled USB debugging.
Disabled all apps in Battery optimization
Sync on in account settings
In notifications settings everything enabled.
And still I don't get no freaking notifications! Only if open the app the notification appears..
Anything else I could try, and please don't tell me to use custom ROM! I want to get this fixed, it should be possible right?!
Edit;
Currently running 3.5.344ST/unlocked/twrp/supersu root
did u use a backup to restore apps or did u fresh install from store?
move app for /system/priv-app
Was it solved by moving into system/priv-app?
Did you get to the bottom of this ?
It makes a difference if you upgrade from very old ROM versions, or newer versions.
E.g. I started with ZUI 1.9xx (QFIL) and then OTA all the way up to the newest version (3.4xx)
Everything basically worked, but I had battery issues and some notification issues which I couldn't fix.
Then I tried to encrypt my device and it critically failed, so I had to switch to a new ROM anyway.
Then I took the newest possible full ROM for QFIL, I think it was ZUI 3.1xx and then OTA the short way up to the newest version.
Now Everything works, also encryption and with good battery life and notifications. But I feel the ROM is a little less snappy then before, maybe because of encryption.
Besides it still has 2 turn-downs:
- Some apps like Amazon Prime Video complain about an "uncompatible device ID" thus won't start
- Language is english and I can't manage to change the language permanently (not even with morelocale and ADB commands)
So our ZUK2 Pro's always have some funny behaviour... But I really feel the device is at its best now after ~1 Year in my pocket.
€dit: All with locked bootloader and without root
I accidentally uninstalled the system launcher using adb on my Realme 8i with locked bootloader, no root. My gesture navigation bar doesn't work (recent apps manager doesn't work), some of my settings disappeared. It's unusable like that. I haven't rebooted it because I'm afraid it will bootloop or get bricked. Can someone tell me how to fix this issue? I've tried installing the launcher apk from websites but they didn't work. I managed to decompile the firmware and get the launcher apk, but it's odexed. And it also has a .vdex file which I couldn't find anything about. I bought the phone 4 months ago and I use it as a daily driver. I really need help with fixing this.
