[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniETingles:
I tried this on my droid incredible 2 running paranoid android using the zipthemer and metamorph method with no luck..

I think its because of paranoid androids hybrid mode..I also tried it a while back with no luck.

I love the "im on a boat" ones, fits my theme perfectly. but I'm afraid to try them because i'm on Rooted Stock IMM30B 4.0.4 and haven't dug through the entire thread to see if it will work with it. but strong work on the softkeys, they look great. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Damien White:
Maybe yer using the wrong ROM ;o)

I absolutely love the soft-keys posted here, it's inspired me to make some of my own. I use AOKP personally, so I don't flash anything I just grab the pics from ROM Control, but... I'd like to post a few here if none minds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vakaviti:
Hi there,

Does anyone have a flashable zip for the galaxy s3 soft keys????

or like the softkeys on the images in the link below:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SeauxCrazy:
Tried on Skankwich with metamorph...rebooted and now I don't have any soft keys anymore lol. Dammit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dorilife:
Weird, I've used these on skanky kangs without issues..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniETingles:
honestly the BEST way in my opinion to apply these keys is to use Ninjamorph and simply replace the images. It's really simply, and I'll post a quick guide.

Props to bill12690 for the guide, all this is HIS work and none of it mine. I am simply trying to spread the information as to make it easier for people to gain their desired softkey images!

First things first... if your gonna do this, make a backup etc etc.. I take no responsibility if your phone commits suicide, blah blah.

Softkeys courtesy of Paulosman are here:

http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=1692

Menu button located*here. Just download and put in the same folder as the others.

NinjaMorph is pretty easy. Just download it from Play Store, and open it up. It'll do some checks (if it fails just re-open the app).

Go to New Project > Navigate to /system/app and select SystemUI.apk

Then, navigate to /res/drawable-xhdpi. There are 6 files to replace in this folder:

Code:

ic_sysbar_back.png

ic_sysbar_back_land.png

ic_sysbar_home.png

ic_sysbar_home_land.png

ic_sysbar_recent.png

ic_sysbar_recent_land.png

Just tap one, then NinjaMorph will ask what file you want to replace it with. You simply navigate to your new soft keys and select the corresponding file. (and repeat for each one)

You will find those 6 in the soft keys zip file.*

However, considering this is a tablet hybrid rom and I'll assume your using tablet-style status bar, there's 2 more files to replace.

So, navigate to /res/drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi. The two files here are:

Code:

ic_sysbar_menu.png

ic_sysbar_recent.png

You'll replace them just as you did before. Note: The recent button is the same one you used before.

So, there's one left, menu. This one is not in the soft keys zip because I had to make it. Anyway, same as before, just replace it with the new one.

So you've replaced all 8 now? Just hit the blue back arrow, and then "Finish Project". Select SystemUI. Yes, you want to overwrite, no, don't zipalign. Cleanup if you wish. Reboot and enjoy!

Sorry for the off topic post, I figured it could be usable to others with this rom as well.

System UI crash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dralways:
Would it be too much trouble to fix this for the blue ICS reflection and non-reflection soft keys? (Edit: Stock small reflective and non reflective in ICS blue would be really sweet too.)

The settings softkey is left out!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackrabbitklan:
I've been having this problem with every aokp after M5. It shows the outline of the image, but only in whatever solid color is active. Seems to be something built into the rom since the theme chooser was added. I've tried manually changing the highlights in systemui but no luck yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
I seem to remember reading something about some kind of 'reset to defaults' fixing this. I don't use AOKP though, so I can't be more descriptive than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frenix27:
Every file give me this error "Can't find a theme control file in /sdcard/zipname"

Why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
That probably means you've got the wrong files. Some files are images only, others are zipthemer. I'm betting you've been getting the images only.

djdarkknight (theme master!) said that they have the same names as ICS...so it's just a matter of flashing them

Hi, can you post me a stock systemui.apk to recover my EPIC FAIL action (i have disinstalled systemui.apk)!!!

Just reflash whichever ROM you're using without a wipe. Noone can do anything for you until you at least tell us which ROM you're on anyway.

Is there away to flash this and a circles mod? Previously I've found one wipes the other out. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
In jelly bean the button to hide the keyboard is different than in ICS, hence why the files need to be updated for JB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skilover:
JB is very sensitive to having the nav buttons simply disappear-so you have to be careful what you do. That said, would love to know a method to flash these themes into JB. I already moded to 4 buttons using this link, with no problems.

Alright guys I have a huge favor to ask because I do not have access to my own computer right now. I PM'd Atticus but I'm not sure how often he's on anymore to check his PM's.

If someone gets a chance, would you be able to make a BACK, HOME, RECENT (stock menu) image pack DROID FONT style that says LIKE A BOSS?

I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lupoalberto12:
Sorry for this off topic but I don't found a guide about it.

Can I change only the color of the softkey on JB stock with root?

How can I make it?

Thanks very much.

Bye!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aweloi:
Maybe it´s time to change the soft keys now. I have used the stock ones for more than three weeks now..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xephik:
Man I'd love to have the stock keys in that new reflected style that is in blue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HumorousMaximus:
Ugh!

Tried 3 times to apply the blue /w reflections but everytime it loads up without system UI, no notification bar and no launcher. Tried step number 3 exactly and tried again even more-exactly and finally tried ninjamorph, even that failed (zipaligned and withough) -_-

I'm taking a break from this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jrbourque:
When moving the apk with root explorer are you moving or copying ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IXIKelsonIXI:
Tried with the from phone method. When I moved the app to system/app SystemUI started force closing repeatedly and I couldn't do anything. Reflashing my ROM now. Going to try changing the permissions before putting it in system/app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Just pull battery and reboot when that happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] just87:
Ya I'm noticing a little bit of lag too. I wasn't sure if I was just imagining this but seems to be a slight lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HumorousMaximus:
First its extract to the SystemUI folder then mod the files there and zip - rename and move back and overwrite the existing SystemUI.apk. I followed those steps like crazy, think it has anything to do with the ROM I'm on?

Android Revolution 2.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
After you replace the APK just reboot your phone and the changes will take affect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
Maybe it's better if I add a warning to the third method that this might not work for every ROM because alot of people are saying it's not working..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
Just add that the phone needs to reboot after replacing the APK. I thought I was clear enough in my instructions but I guess not :/

Force closes are normal. Pull the battery and reboot. I've done this on 3 ROMs no problem. Rootzboat, cm9 kang, and currently aokp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atticus182:
Okay thanks! Will do :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GermanGuy:
Okay. Ran into the same problem as other people after replacing StstemUI.apk on the phone. What are the critical steps?

Changing permission before moving the apk file?

Moving apk file back into system instead of copying?

Funny thing is, I had stored a copy of the original SystemUI.apk on my SD card; and even after copying that one back to system, I was not able to get the menu back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
Read up^ Lol. Just change permissions after you reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dawiseguy77:
Hey ive noticed that all the roms you have tried are AOSP 4.0.3 and full stock like revolution HD which is 4.0.2 ive done all of your steps to the "T" and i always lose my notification bar and softkeys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GermanGuy:
Bummer. Maybe it is time to move on to a 4.0.3 ROM (currently on 4.0.2 Revolution). Don't want to hijack this thread, but what seems to be the most stable 4.0.3 ROM out there right now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slg60:
Worked for me on 4.0.2 Stock Rom! Followed step 3.!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] absens:
Used the SystemUI.apk I created from method 3 and inserted into .zip from second method and flashed. Worked even though method 3 failed for me. I'm running CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
After your softkeys and notification bar disappears. Are you rebooting and there still gone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrvirginia:
+1

as well as that "apps" button pictured above. i'm assuming the apps button is used for recent.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rumble6059:
BE CAREFUL!!!

i tried flashing one of these mods using the softkey modder [which worked great on ICS] and resulted in me not having a navbar or pull down bar. now re-flashing ROM to see if that works.

if that sorts it im going to try the zipthemer method

--------------------------------

Edit

Using Zip Themer works great :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ignignokt:
Blue Softkeys only?

Im running JB and tried installed the stock blue softkeys. Unfortunately, it changed the lockscreen and the battery icon in the status bar. Is there a way just to have the softkeys to change? I like the rest stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lareq:
What do I have to do, if i have these only image zip file from the second section, with no XML file? Because zipthemer says that he can't find the XML controller. How should I do this now, without XML file?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Have you tried using the ZipThemer file instead? I've found that a lot of mods that otherwise don't work on JB do work if applied through ZipThemer.

EDIT: For anyone that's on JB that wants to change their nav keys or add more keys, check out the zips in this Rootz thread: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29153-mod-411-jelly-bean-soft-key-mods-with-menu-and-search/. If you want to use different-looking keys than the stock ones, it's as easy as replacing the appropriate pngs in res/drawable-xhdpi (make sure they're named correctly and are the same size). You can also change to the ICS blue glow instead of the grey JB stock glow by just replacing two pngs.

Note: I don't know how well those zips I linked to work with custom builds of JB, as I'm just running stock deodexed 4.1.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kepz:
You can use any of the images on presented here. For me, I've always used ADB to get the SystemUI.apk to my pc and then copy the images to the SystemUI.apk file and then push it back to the phone. That's the only way I know and it's the easiest for me and it always works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeveryday:
Do you mind posting a guide for the newbies like me please? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
You don't even need ADB commands really, if you don't know how to use them. If you use a few more steps you can do what kepz basically described. Let me know if you need more clarification or help.

Use a root explorer app to navigate to your system/app folder, and copy SystemUI.apk to your computer.

Use a program like 7Zip or WinRAR to replace (ie: copy and paste, no need to unzip) the pngs that you want to use from this thread to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder. Remember to check that they're named correctly.

Move your modified SystemUI.apk back onto your phone, and to system/app. It's a good idea to keep your original SystemUI.apk for now and just rename, until you're sure everything's working and then it can be deleted.

Set permissions for the new SystemUI.apk to rw-r-r, and reboot!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeveryday:
ah thanks! I didn't know you could do that within the phone! I actually spent hours getting ADB to work on my Windows 8 machine and then learning how to make a flashable zip >_<

If anyone's interested, here's the HTC One X style softkey for stock 4.1.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arich:
Sigh. All I want is a recent/menu/home/back/search layout for my nav bar. I've tried every guide I can find and nothing works. I'm by no means a noob but this is driving me crazy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Can't move the System UI apk to my computer. I am using root explorer. I go to copy it to SD card, but it isnt showing up in computer. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arich:
You should be able to use adb pull to get it off the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Nvm

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exzacklyright:
Yep.I'm typing this and have no nav bar lol

Mandated from Stannis Baratheon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
I found I had to wipe davlik cache after applying anything that tweaked SystemUI.apk. In ICS it wasn't so sensitive, but it looks like it's necessary in JB. Wasted half a day fiddling with it, then found the first mod I tried worked straight away with a davlik wipe. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ace-user:
does these work with stock JB rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
They should do, but there will be one icon missing. In JB, when the keyboard is up, the back button turns into a down arrow to hide the keyboard. ICS didn't have the separate icon for that, so all these icon sets are missing it. You could, however, just copy the icon for the back button (or anything else for that matter) to cover that.

One thing I did note is that JB seems to be quite sensitive to changes in SystemUI.apk. In ICS I always just applied the patch and it worked. In JB if you don't wipe davlik cache it always seems to lose the buttons and notification bar, so remember to do that or you'll have problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1ManWolfePack:
They work fine using zip themer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ballubas:
looking forward to using this on jb aokp:)

This didnt work for me...do you have any other ideas, i really want those cool softkeys

Don't worry.. I used zip themer and followed the instructions on the first page of this forum and it worked. I am running cm10 and it worked just fine!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
1. Which ROM are you running?

2. Which set did you use (link please)?

3. Did you check the MD5 after downloading?

4. Which method did you use to apply them?

5. Did you try wiping the davlik cache after applying them?

6. Did you try fixing permissions after applying them?

7. What do you mean by 'didn't work'? No effect or missing softkeys and notifications?

'Didn't work' tells us nothing. We can't help if we don't know what you did and what happened when you did it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Yeah, you're definitely going to have to clarify what problems you're having, because I've tried out several of the ZT zips on a few JB ROMs and they've all worked perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxproblemzxx:
Anyone have a zipthemer zip of the miui icons in blue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadowfox993:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Yes, as long as you use ZipThemer then they should work just fine with JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d.e.beatup:
It's listed as the "hard" method but I prefer using Root Explorer to copy over the new icons and overwrite System UI. To me it isn't hard, just takes more patience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AlainFarqy:
oh im sorry, i didnt realise that someone replied, but anyway, i got it to work thank you...i just used zip themer and followed the instructions from this forum and it worked like a charm..i have all my buttons and my notification bar as well...thank you for your concern!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stueck9356:
Thanks, using the text ones, makes everything so much cleaner!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flipm00de:
I wan to learn how to do this. Any kind of tutorials lying around?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Read through the manual method in the first post. It's just replacing images inside the .apk. Make whatever replacement images you like and you're good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bush2088:
anyone have clear backgrounds for the soft key bar or can i just delete the ones in the System ui.apk to make it clear??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
I think the background is more complicated than that. I don't think the background uses images, I think it's set up in one of the .xml files. I know there were transparent softkey mods for ICS, maybe search for one of them and either ask for a JB update or at least ask for how to implement it and do it yourself.

Need Help My Friends I'm Running Knish Toro Build JB ROM, I Flashed The Playstation Soft Keys Using Zip Theme, But I Only Have A Three Button Lay Out missing The Triangle And Circle On Softkeys. Could Someone Tell Me What In Doing Wrong? Thanks In Advance..:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
All these are is just replacement pictures. Nothing in any of these zip files will give you any keys you don't already have. So if your current ROM only gives you the standard back/home/recent, then you will only see the three pictures corresponding to those three buttons. If you want more, you'll have to get a ROM or MOD which gives you more softkeys first.

As above, these are just replacement pictures. So long as your ROM has softkeys, you can replace them with the pictures here. But with devices other than the Galaxy Nexus I would strongly suggest using the manual method and making sure the images are the same name, path, and resolution.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dirtygoldfish:
Yeah, if you use ZipThemer it will work on custom ROMs like CM10 as well.

I think it might be because the OP has replaced his GNex with a GS3, so there's no need for him to work on new softkeys anymore.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamski123:
I am using a nexus 7, will these softkeys work if u use metamorph?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
So long as the sizes are the same, the icons themselves will work with ANY device/ROM that has softkeys. You may have to play around with the methods listed in the first post to find a way that works for you, and some devices will use e.g. drawable-hdpi rather than drawable-xhdpi, so things may need to be tweaked for that, but the basic idea is compatible with any ROM and device which uses softkeys.
