I think you'll find it's not a background picture, it's just an opacity setting. I've seen things around talking about making it transparent (I think AOKP has this option), but every time someone wants a custom background they get told to make it transparent and tweak their background picture. So I'm pretty sure that this will require code modification.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerogriff:
These are awesome! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 5ufy9n:
is there a way to apply these cool mods on to the AOKP for the Google Nexus S? =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Theoretically you can use these on any device and rom which has onscreen softkeys. You may have to use one of the manual methods, though, I'm not sure if the zipthemer/metamorph files will make the right changes for you.

thanks a lot for the info..btw can i have the link(s) to the manual methods? :rolleyes:

Color Change?

Great collection. Is there any way to make these any colour you want?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
the aokp rom is one that lets you change the color to whatever you like
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Some roms allow you to adjust the softkey colour, but you can't use multi colour styles with this. Apart from that, Photoshop (or the image editor of your choice) is your friend.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SoCalSpecialist:
if im not mistaken those are in the o.p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robdyx:
In case you like it, here you have.

- Stock back/recents icons

- Razr Home/big menu

- Somehow Honeycomb inspired search

- Own menu concept

All this with nexus colours (if you edit it in AOKP you'll get all of them the same colour), a soft glow and a dimmed perspective reflection (made by me, all dims/lenghts normalized in reflections).

Maybe too much, but lovin' it so far :D I'm posting only the images to use with Softkey Modder, enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elboco:

i need help to make a softkey. i have the images. i need help to get a worable zip of it:)

Guys, is it possible to extract soft keys from Miui rom ? They're looking nice !:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
Dude, FP :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
Here you go: http://db.tt/nEodHysb

EDIT: I've re-done the zip because the one I did last night didn't include menu_big icons. Fixed now. Also replaced the search icons (since MIUI doesn't have them) with those from the HTC One style (the ones I had in before were a bit too big)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
I apologize if they are here but can someone make proper HTC one X keys? I saw HTC keys here but not the same as the one X. Please and thank you. Zipthemer would be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
What's wrong with the ones labelled "HTC One Style" in the OP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toansta:
do you use zipthemer or metamorph for this?

thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
Honestly ...I just somehow didn't see it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
I used zipthemer, but the file is in the same format as those in the OP that are labelled for metamorph or zipthemer.

P. S. You get thanks for pointing that out.

No worries. We all go a bit blind every now and again

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OSully:
Would also like the miui icons!

EDIT: Haven't tested but here's an attempt.

MIUI doesn't have a search softkey so this uses the HTC One version.

Find the one that matches the name of the style you want, and simply flash with MetaMorph or ZipThemer :-)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predictablyerratic:
Does anyone know if this will work on the transformer prime? I have searched repeatedly in the TFP forum without any luck. I followed the instructions for the "advanced (hard) method" in the OP and after I replaced the .png files with the new ones and rezipped the folder the zip file shrunk to 865k when it was 1.23mb with the stock images before i extracted.

I cleaned it up a bit... I'll repost later
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
It's much safer and works more consistently if you open the .apk with e.g. 7zip and copy the new images in WITHOUT unzipping/rezipping. That ensures the format and compression options stay exactly the same, so you're less likely to run into compatibility issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danwguy:
Any chance of getting some good minimalist style soft keys? I'm trying to keep my phone as minimalistic as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
The MIUI keys that I posted two pages back are nice and simple. If that's no good, are the soft keys in the form of dashes minimalist enough for you? They're somewhere between pages 80-85.

Swyped from my AOKP-powered GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OSully:
Here are the MIUI softkeys again. I did a new search key to match, I didn't like the HTC One version.

atticus, you might be able to clean up the search key a little bit. I think it looks pretty good, but you might be able to perfect it.

Also, the filesize on the search keys is a little larger, like 3kb - I can't seem to get it down to 500 bytes or so to match the others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Farhang:
Guys I need a little help here.

I installed Zip Themer. Did exactly step by step as this says:

I downloaded a few docks from the first post. (ZipThemer versions) in the end it gives me two zip files. one -update.zip and one -undo.zip. But after flashing the update.zip one from CWR nothing happens. Same stock white buttons.

Using Android Revolution HD 3.0.0 and faux's Kernel.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
That happened to me once with a file that was in ZipThemer format. Ended up having to Metamorph it for it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Farhang:
Thanks for the quick answer. Can you please tell me how to MetaMorph it?

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
Instructions are in the OP, just below the ones you copied above. Beware though, metamorph doesn't create an undo zip like ZipThemer, so you may want to make a backup of your systemui.apk beforehand just in case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 00McD00:
I too wasn't a big fan of the included search key with the MIUI icons, so here is the one I made up. It is the search key from the metro icons, but I erased the circle, shrunk it down, and rotated it a bit. I think it fits quite well IMO. The attached zip has all the images in it, not flashable or morph, just the images. Screenshot attached as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcpq:
I have AOKP B30

Which method you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
Zipthemer works

Swyped from my AOKP-fueled G-Nex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
Spent some time making these softkeys, hope someone else likes them :)

Unzip to your phone and just change them from Rom Control
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LKNim:
It looks great:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
Actually, thanks to ock for pointing it out above, but on AOKP b30 and above we no longer need to use zipthemer or metamorph to change navbar icons. Just put the images on your sdcard and change them from inside ROM control

ROM Control > Navigation bar > click on the desired button and select the image from the gallery

Swyped from my AOKP-fueled G-Nex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcpq:
It is noted the contours of the icon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 6jaipur6:
Very nice i like them maybe you can make a phone button with the latest aokp we can replace function of the buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
2 more icons added ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
now that aokp has custom navbar, any change of app icons that match the stock nab bar? you know like phone, sms, ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragequitting noob:
Hi and sorry for the noob question but I did this and all that showed up was a white box. I cropped the image in gallery but it didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
Are you on b30 or 31?

Swyped from my AOKP-fueled G-Nex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
the icons look great but unfortunately on b31 when you choose the icon image for the nav bar the icons look too small
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
Yup, I'll add a special download link for AOKP tonight which includes ALL images in one folder, so you can pick the ones you like!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tember1214:
I have the same issue.... I select picture and crop it and it just turns into a solid box..... Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
I had this once too.. Rebooting worked. And if it doesn't, try to select a different function first and then put it back on what you want, and retry cropping the image. It worked eventually here.. (build 30)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
Update!

I have added one single download link for all my self-created softkeys for use with AOKP build 30 and up. Just extract it and use it, super easy!

It's possible that the images folder won't show up directly after unzipping it when you're using the Gallery app, but It'll appear after a while somehow..

Have fun with it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tember1214:
In navigation bar setting I just reset navigation bar and then re did the icons and worked great!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
That's the best solution indeed, quick and it works :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragequitting noob:
OK I must really be lame. I downloaded the file for aokp 30 or above and I have no idea how to get it working. Are there specific step by step instructions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
The instructions are right there in the FP :P just unzip it, and choose the images in ROM control (you must press the little images of the softkeys on the right in ROM control)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragequitting noob:
Lol OK how do you unzip it? ;p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
Using any file manager, like ES File Explorer or Astro.

You can of course also use your PC/Laptop :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wheeliemonster:
Hi there,

Any chance you could create a "phone" softkey icon in your stock style, please?

Cool collection :) AOKP now lets you choose custom icons for each button! MIX AND MATCH :D

I'm actually more interested to see how far we can mod these nav bars...

* Change it to a notification bar? (Like tablet UI) Kinda like the Samsung continuum :p

* Are we restriced to only using a black background?

* Widgets! (kinda like the nav bar idea...)

Just thinking :\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wheeliemonster:
Can anyone help me?

I'm trying to set a particular png file in AOKP to be one of my navbar buttons but every time I set it, I just get a full block (square) of solid colour instead of the icon.

I'm sure it's transparent (it shows as transparent on the PC). I've even tried a fully black background instead of transparent but that shows exactly the same.

See attached pic

Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djnoicatse:
Try resetting your nav bar. And then install the icon you'd like to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wheeliemonster:
Thanks, but I believe there's a bug in the current build that means that that very action (reset navbar) gives you bootloops! Once that's fixed I'll give it a go!:rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D_Magic:
Step 1 till 4 should be followed exactly the way the tutorial says.

At step 5 you have to make sure you change root explorer to mount/write first ( you can do that at the top) then you move the apk to system app and replace the existing one, then change the permissions and after that change root explorer back to m/o and then reboot

This is how i did it and worked perfect!

At step 1 i can't extract systemui.apk because it said that i don't have folder /mnt/Sdcard/SpeedSoftware?Extracted what i must do?
