disable navbar / activate TouchPlus

I found no thread about this topic, so here is my guide.

I wanted to disable the navbar in order to use LMT. This is usually pretty simple by modifying build.prop and adding 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=1'.
However, this did not help on my L01 single. I found some hints which i compiled together to this guide:

needed:

• a rooted GX8 running Android 5.1 (6.0 is untested, but could also work, please report me) with permissive SELinux (or any other Huawei device)
• a working ADB connection
• a computer with a text editor of your choice

this is what you do:

• Install the TouchPlus app (attached). This apk is taken from a Honor 7, but should be identical on all devices.
  
  Code:

  ---

  adb install HwTouchplus.apk

  ---

• grab your build.prop and save a backup copy (on your computer or phone)
  
  Code:

  ---

  adb pull /system/build.prop

  ---

• edit the build.prop on your computer adding the following line:
  
  Code:

  ---

  ro.config.hw_touchplus_enabled=true

  ---

• write back the build.prop and make sure permissions are 0644
  
  Code:

  ---

  adb shell
  su
    mount -o rw,remount /system
    chmod 0644 /system/build.prop

  ---

• reboot the device
  
  Code:

  ---

  adb reboot

  ---

• now it's a good idea to enable LMT!
• go to settings, there should be a new menu entry called TouchPlus (in the 'intelligent' sector)
• activate TouchPlus and the nav buttons. The navbar should be gone.
• hit the 'thanks' below this post if it worked.

Thanks to
