the apk of Xposed app that is need that you install immediately

3) After that, flash the Xposed framework by TWRP recovery and restart the device

4) When restart the phone, go into the Xposed app, then Downloads section and research the module named "Flat Style Bar Indicators". Install it, activate it with the check mark in the Modules section and restart the Zenfone. On restart, launch this application and buy the pro version, then go through a file manager in the path data/com.bocharov.xposed.fsbi/backups (create it if don't exists), and paste in it this file

5) Go back in Flat Style app and select a restore from backup using the previous file added.

Magically you will see the status bar change from the original (and characterized by very old style) of ZenUI to that of material design !!!

Now we must add the soft touch buttons in material style (colored ones available on the latest version of Android, namely 7.0 Nougat)

To do this

1) Install the apk of Root Explorer version 4.0.2 at this link

http://it.apkhere.com/app/com.speeds...e.rootexplorer

2) Open Root Explorer, go in the system folder and open the build.prop file with the text editor; search the string called

# [ASUS BSP] Nancy - ZE552KL default disable touch navbar

persist.asus.enable_navbar = 0

qcom.hw.aac.encoder = true

and change the value from 0 to 1; then save appropriately the modified file.

4) Now you need to give the right permissions to the file; just keep pressing on the file, then up, about the options that will appear on the file, click on the three vertical dots and then Permissions. You have to set it up as follows

5) Reboot your phone and you should find the soft touch buttons but those of ZenUI; don't worry and go in the Xposed app and from the Download section search the module named "Nougat Navigation Bar"; install and then activate it with the check mark from the Section Modules, then again restart the device.

Then finally you should also find the soft touch keys in Material style !!!

If you want, in addition, also disable the physical home hardware keys follow this simple step

Go into Downloads section of Xposed app and research the module named "Xposed Additions". Install it, activate it with the check mark in the Modules section and restart the Zenfone. On restart, launch this application and go in Buttons section; Here click on "Add new Key" and, when you see the screen popup, click on any of the three hardware keys and then confirm with ok. Now go into the rule that you have created (that will bring the name of the button that you have pressed) and click on "Add New Condition"; Click on "Screen On" and then, in subrule that appears, put the check mark on the options "Click" and "Long Press". Repeat the same thing for the state "Screen Off" and "Lock Screen" always clicking on "Add new condition". Now you must only repeat the whole procedure again for the other two hardware buttons on the home and you you will have disabled all of them!
