what do you mean by 'copy files gps.conf and gpsconfig.xml into /system/etc/, don't forget to fix the permission'
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] TechGenius:
Rename to .. ?
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] chegs17:
After copying the files to said directory, u should change each file permission back to -rw-r--r using es file explorer.[IMG="Fix permissions of system file"]http://http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ES-File-Explorer-Permissions.jpg[/IMG]
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] luamunizc:
Sorry, but what exactly do I need to rename?
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] luamunizc:
Do I have to repeat the process everytime I use the GPS or it's just one time?
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] ryanjms07:
chang permission to 0755

in lollipop

1. copy gpsconfig.xml to /system/etc change permission to 0755

2. rename gpsconfig.xml to gpsconfig_NoHULA.xml and copy to /system/etc change permission to 0755

3. rename gpsconfig.xml to and gpsconfig_HULA.xml and copy to /system/etc change permission to 0755

after that,

reboot into recovery

wipe cache

reboot
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] x3kings:
how do I change the permission ?

oh and how about the gps.conf ? what should I do about that one put it in etc ?
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] kimchinam:
cm

1. Will it work on CM13

2. Do I have to repeat it when i turn on GPS?
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] ryanjms07:
with app file explorer which supoort root.

No, Just open My app, after turn on GPS

i just uploaded new file and update the tutorial
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] khairin14:
my GPS does not even work after this method can you upload default gps files please? sorry for your trouble, or maybe because i deleted the /data/gps file?
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] ryanjms07:
my gps configuration is work fine, there is no error in logcat.

if there is something wrong with my gps configuration, it will show error in logcat 'libgps'

you must read instruction carefully.

download new app you just click help and it will automatically replace all files and reboot into recovery and then select wipe cache partition.
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] khairin14:
Everything is fine again, thank you! btw is it true that kitkat has more accurate and fast lock gps than lollipop?
[Zenfone 5 Themes and Apps] ryanjms07:
I do not think so,

I test in kitkat and lollipop,

kitkat and lollipop don't have differences of gps.

but, i am using kitkat with full odexed now, because battery life more than lollipop
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TeutonJon78:
Now that some people have gotten root and started modifying things, has anyone tried turning the onscreen buttons back on via the build.prop edit?

If you don't want to play with build.prop, /data/local.prop can also be used to override build.prop values. Usually that file is not there and needs to be created.

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 is the key that needs to be there (which already seems to be in our build.prop -- I wonder if it's getting overrided somewhere else or if they did strip it out of the ROM).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
EDIT: nvm, I was thinking of something else

EDIT2: Looking at the build.prop, it looks like three more props are imported at the very end:

import /system/vendor/default.prop

import /system/vendor/vendor.prop

import /system/vendor/power.prop

Maybe one of those is overwriting the softkey settings?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] conspiracyBE:
Wouldn't enabling it in Gravitybox through Xposed also work?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
That would be Pie Controls, not the stock navigation ones :D ,

I really don't have the need to enable soft keys but I try and the change stick at boot but No Nav. Keys ,there's must something else at play here.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] conspiracyBE:
There is also an option called "Navigation bar tweaks" that let's you enable a navigation bar.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
Just following up on this since I do very much want on screen buttons as an option- Gravity Box does not enable any kind of on screen buttons. Pie controls don't work, nav bar does not show up, build.prop edit also does nothing. We probably need a more in depth look at this to figure out how to get the nav bar to show up.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tolymatev:
Where do you want these buttons to show up? Above the buttons we have right now?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
Correct. Some people, me included, want to have actual on screen buttons in addition to the capacitive buttons. It would make a 2-row sort of configuration. Not having the buttons light up is actually throwing me off at times at night.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
Have you tried checking /system/vendor/default.prop or /system/vendor/vendor.prop? I saw that the build.prop called them (and power.prop) at the end, so maybe one of them hold the key to controlling the on-screen nav buttons.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
I looked at those and they seem to be mostly radio related things. In the build.prop, there is a line labeled "enable navigation bar" ...I mean duh...but it is set to qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, which is precisely the line that was suggested be added to the bottom of the build.prop to enable nav buttons. Since it was already in there, I figured they were disabled some other way. Also, obviously 0 vs 1 is a thing, but changing the 0 to 1 does nothing.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TeutonJon78:
Yeah, it's setup in build.prop correctly, so they removed it some other way, rather than just turning off the build.prop (which seems odd). I wonder if they removed it from frameworks.apk.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
I only have a very basic knowledge of these things. Maybe someone can make something user friendly out of this GitHub page. It's for changing the height and width of a nav bar, but it could probably be used to enable it as well.

It does probably have to do with the framework-res.apk though.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] shifuharris:
I decided to attempt to look at the framework-res.apk (first time) and was able to decompile it and saw that the showNavigationBar XML setting is indeed set to false. I tried to change it to true and recompile it but my device wouldn't boot after that. Maybe someone with more experience with recompiling the apk's can get it to work.

Just thought I'd chime in and point out that it does indeed appear disabled in the framework-res.apk. FYI, there is also a framework-zte-res.apk in the same folder but it doesn't appear to have any keys related to the navigation bar.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TeutonJon78:
Did you use APKTool (https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/)? I was able to use that for another device and still get it work. There could also be bugs in whatever software you used. Even for APKTool, there was a bug in one version that caused problems where the previous version didn't (something to do with the NULL values).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] shifuharris:
I did use apktool (v2.2.0). I followed some guides online but no joy. Not sure where I went wrong. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TeutonJon78:
If you think you did it right, it could be a bug in apktool (like I ran into). you can always send the before and after to the dev, and he'd check to see if the tool did anything wrong.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] shifuharris:
That's the thing. I have no idea if I'm doing it right. :)

I tried again with some different steps based on another guide and had the same result. Just sticks on the Axon splash screen at boot.

I can try sending it to the dev when I get some free time. Maybe he can check it out. The interesting thing about it though is everytime I push the file to my device (or just copy it to the sdcard), the size of the file reflected by the push varies each time. Strange.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bhint15:
From what I've read on other sites you may need to disable the hardware buttons as Android will detect them and not show the onscreen buttons. I didn't google how to do that as I love having hardware buttons again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] hardspartan360:
if you use Gravity Box, the virtual buttons work. I'm on a A2017G (European version)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
They do not. Not from what I have seen. Screenshots of the buttons on the screen?

Oh i see them now. That's so strange. Can you take a screenshot of those settings in the gravity box app? I tired about a million ways and it wasnt working. Did you disable the hardware buttons?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] hardspartan360:
The buttons are showing in the screenshot

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
Definitely not working on my device. Can you show what exact settings you are using in gravity box? Did you disable the hardware buttons?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] hardspartan360:
I'm using firmware B02, installed Xposed and chose this Two settings on gb

Btw, i didn't find a way to disable capacitive buttons so i have both enabled and pressing the arrow on the left you can hide the on screen buttons.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
You obviously dont have the US unlocked version. gravitybox nor any xposed module ive tried enables it. not through build prop edit either. very weird.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

Nope i tried that to, no dice. they probably disabled this through the systemui or framework. hopefully a dev can look into this further.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TeutonJon78:
well, someone already confirmed they are disabled in framework for some reason. I don't know why they wouldn't just leave it as a build.prop change rather than actually hard locking it out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
it might be in the framework but usually its in the systemUI from what i remember, at least thats where the actual png images are. id play with it but i haven't decompiled or recompiled an odexed rom before. if we could get a deodex based rom it may be easier.

---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

the galaxy users on 6.0 have the same issues so its not just us.

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

its probably because its an odedx system apk. also you would have to make a flashable zip, not just push it via adb.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] shifuharris:
If that's the case, that's above my pay grade. :)

Just thought I'd give it a whirl and see if I could do something with it. Can decompile, mod and recompile framework-res.apk but making it a flashable zip will take more research. I tried the gravity box solution too but for some reason the Xposed framework won't stick so I can't confirm if that solution works or not. My guess is that my system is read only despite trying to make it RW. Strange thing is, it installed once before but I had to restore my system after an Xposed module setting ot me stuck in a boot loop. Fun stuff. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
do us a favor and adb pull your systemUI.apk in system/private and framework.res in system/framework and post them in the thread. you can also copy and paste them to your sd card with root explorer. i have an idea i want to look into.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
Has anyone had a chance to take a look at this yet? I was poking around some more in a roughly decompiled framework-res apk but couldn't come up with anything solid.

Any progress here?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bkores:
I have the same issue. Whenever I overwrite the framework apk to enable the on-screen buttons the phone immediately reboots and gets permanently stuck in the axon logo. I really hope someone is onto this as I cannot stand the capacitive buttons.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Lukiqq:
First you have to 'freeze' your device. Copy modified framework to sdcard by typing adb push <file location here, like d:\framework-res.apk> /sdcard, or just do it in normal way, just copy paste file in windows explorer, then run adb shell stop, after that type adb shell and copy framework-res.apk to its proper destination with command cd /, cd sdcard, cp framework-res.apk ../system/framework/ and finally chmod 644 ../system/framework/framework-res.apk. Then type reboot and that's it :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bkores:
It didn't work. All of the commands worked but when I reboot the phone it boots up but the display does not turn on. The only explanation I can think of is that I recompiled the apk wrong. Using Advanced Apktool I did recompile, sign, and zipalign.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] edda123:
I really hope there will be a solution for this, which includes permanently disables the capacitive.

I'm buying this phone if this turns out possible. Right now I have the oneplus 3 ordered (delivery date 4th november), but FF speakers and fingerprint reader on the back is so much better.

Edit:

I just realized the Axon 7 mini has software buttons (wtf why zte not the flagship), is it possible to use some apk or anything from that phone to enable software buttons on the Axon 7?

any cons?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] CaiKroll:
Hmm. Pros, more theme options (pink/red being my fav.). Cons getting root and TWRP working was biatch, I still dont know how I did it, was kind of a fluke (I rooted using the locked bootloader method then flashed twrp with flashify or whatever it's called). Other than that runs smooth. Installed a bunch of other mods including A.R.I.S.E. Quite impressed.

When flashing B03 make sure to flash b27 bootstack

I have an unlocked bootloader (official) and had to downgrade from b20_boot to b20 first.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] amphi66:
What kind of user or functional differences did you see between the 'U' & 'G' Firmware?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] shifuharris:
Understood on the lack of responsibility. I unlocked my bootloader officially also but basically undid all of that and reverted back to B20 them applied the B27 update. Since I've done that, do you think I should still flash the B27 bootstack?

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] shifuharris:
This worked great! I was on B27 with unlocked bootloader using [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION]'s method, rooted with TWRP installed. I reverted from official unlock bootloader so that I could install the B27 update.

I flashed the B27 bootstack and then the B03 systemboot which went find. Only odd thing is that I now how this crazy little screen the pops on boot up that tells me my bootloader is "unlocked" but that goes away in 5 secs and it booted normally.

My TWRP was still in place so next step was to flash SU for root and verify root which went fine. Finally flash Xposed and install the Gravity box module then enable the navigation bar in Gravity box.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] shifuharris:
Kinda reviving this thread. I was able to get on screen keys by flahsing to B03 but that rom seems buggier than B27 (flickering wifi/4g icons, random reboots, et.). So I flashed back to B27 and I was wondering if anyone had any luck getting on screen keys with that rom? Gravity box doesn't do it. It would appear that ZTE approaches to disabling the on screen keys for the G and U variants were different.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jwilensky:
I think a cool way to write code around not having the capacitive buttons light up would be to have three small colored lines at the bottom of the screen (maybe 1-3px high) that indicate where the buttons are. Maybe different colors for each button (red=back, blue=home, white=recents) as a quick target for where the buttons are. This would be similar to the battery bar that some ROMs have. I am not a developer, just a power user, and hope that the dev community falls in love with this device.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] *mj13*:
That's a useful idea. I had thought how odd it would be to have on screen and cap buttons but this option is using the noggin. Keep active on the forums maybe this idea will get wings.

Even with the lines with the screen overlay app, which is really cool actually, the main reason I am still looking for other phones is because of the button issue. I REALLLY want on-screen buttons working correctly. At least having it show on a schedule so at night I can switch to those over the hardware buttons. This was such an incredibly bad design decision by ZTE. Users are coming up with all of these crazy workarounds for it. Shouldn't be needed.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
You will never get screen burn ins on navigation buttons not even on the status bar on normal usage. I had three (and still have them in use by family members) OLED phones prior to the Axon-7 and not a single burn in.

A fellow dev, only had it happen once (not the Axon 7) while he left his phone in recovery (cm recovery, no display off while idle and max brightness) for 8-9 hours straight overnight to trace some events, it keep showing the static recovery for 8-9 hours on maximum brightness. Only to leave a slight trace of burn-in.

Seriously burn-ins on modern OLED with normal usage is fear mongering from LCD display lovers.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ashishv:
Well, I just wanted to warn because I have read that many Nexus 6p users have experienced this. And once you notice screen burn in, you can unsee it. But if there's option to hide the nav bar (like in Axon 7 mini), that'll be great.
