How to add Navigation Bar on LG G Pro Lite


Hi guys, whats up? okay i'm back giving you more tips tricks for LG G pro lite. This time i'm going to show you how to add navigation bar on LG G pro lite.

You know that most android smartphone today don't have physical navigation buttons anymore (except samsung), instead they use on screen navigation bar.

Smartphone like LG nexus 5, Sony xperia z2, they have built in navigation bar on the screen, we can also do the same on our LG G pro lite.

Alright to do this you are going to need :
Step by step how to add navigation bar on LG G pro lite :
  • open root explorer app.
  • mount as r/w (read/write), grant or allow if asking for root permission.
  • go to /system folder.
  • you should see the build.prop file, press long on that file, and then select "Open in Text Editor".
  • scroll down to the bottom and then type this code :
#enable navbar
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
  • save and exit.
  • reboot/restart the phone.

After reboot/restart you should see the on screen navigation bar, the weather widget might be crash, but i think it's okay.

Noticed that now the app icons and the text become smaller, looks like the resolution become larger, i don't know if this good or not.

If you want to get back to the original, simply remove the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 code on build.prop file, or you can set qemu.hw.mainkeys=1.
