Suddenly, softkeyz stopped working when I upgraded to newer version (2211) of CrDroid on Moto G, in prev ver everything was fine. Something about compatibility on start when trying to copy from /system to /sdcard and back to some of the internal partitions. Although it was not recommended to continue, I did :), after restart no changes in nav bar, except my wallpaper was changed.

Any idea?

Doesn't work on CM11 based ROMs

I want to buy this awesome app after watching it on many rooted phones. However, I came to know that it doesn't work on cm11 based ROMs because of the replacement of "/system/app" with "/system/priv-app" by CM.

I hope that you will look into this issue as I really want it to work on my XT1033 (running PAC-ROM RC-3).

Root access changed a lot with Lolipop. It will take some time. And I don't even really have time to work on it.

I notice you still have a message on Play about " especially not working with LG G3"

Is that still true even with roms like http://xdaforums.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-liquidsmooth-v4-0-d850-12814-t2966409 ? & CM 11

SoftKeyZ should work with any AOSP based ROM. (If it's not using a Theme, they override the changes made by SoftKeyZ)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Clark Joseph Kent:
First outstanding app, been using it for awhile now. You also stated via GPlay a hard no go for HTC M8....that is running Android L? I haven't tried it yet, but running Android L, Full GPE rooted. CM12 based ROM's are those a hard no go to be able to run this app?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
If I name devices, I am always talking about the stock ROMs. As said: SoftKeyZ should work with most AOSP-based ROM. CM is one.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Clark Joseph Kent:
Thank you Sir!

Judgment is here via my M8...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Dor71:

Not to be a cheapskate but i don't get the free .apk here. I wanted to try it on my Nexus 6 for awhile then purchase it and not be limited to the playstore refund hours :laugh: TIA!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
There is a link to a site on my server with the changelog and an apk-file.

(Though I just noticed that I need to update that site, since it still shows the old version)

Btw, I can give you a refund even after days, just send me an email.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] RedskinWashingtons:
Sorry to aks but this seems the most appropriate place... I downloaded and installed from the apk provided along with the changelogs, updated the backup to be sure, and downloaded and applied some icons. Just now however, I restored from backup but after booting, I get no navbar, no statusbar, no wallpaper (just black), no lockscreen, no modem, no notificiation center, basically just no SystemUI and modem.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I have no way of restoring from nandroid because my computer doesn't recognize my phone anymore (adb or mtp)...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MarcusBremen:
Seems Factory Reset via Recovery is the only opinion
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] FoleyRose:
I just bought your app on the Play Store and it works great so I gave it 5 stars. Keep up the good work and keep the updates coming! :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
Thanks. :D Will do that.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] AshtonTS:
Any chance that user-supplied images can be used? This would be great if I could specify an image I made or found to use as a soft key.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
Yes, that is/will be possible in future upgrades. Please let me know if you got some to share for everyone, so I can add these to the collection.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 2.0:
I Clicked Apply Backup and now my navbar and status bar are missing.My wallpaper also reset. Any idea on how to restore them?

Edit: I've replaced the framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and the odex file and now its in a bootloop. I have no idea what to do now.

Edit 2: Ive wiped all caches and data and It still won't boot.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
You probably forgot to do chmod 775 on both files.

The reason for the problems at first place could be a somehow corrupt installation of the busybox.

If you still can't find a way out, just reflash ypur current ROM or the system partition of a backup.

You can also always find a Backup of the SystemUI in the SoftKeyZ folder on your device.

Worked perfectly the very first time. Only thing I can say is I had an unexpected surprise when my phone instantly rebooted.

I think a popup warning message would do. Great job. I'm going to stay posted for more updates.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
It is noted in the dialog on the first screen. But I will improve the UX in future updates.

Btw. Expect an update this weekend.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] FoleyRose:
Will it include new softkeys?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] SneakyGuyDavid:
I think an option to use your own soft keys would be better

There's even a thread filled with custom soft keys , but you cant add them in without the correct ROMs

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Alpha-Wat3rloo:
I actually think this app is perfect. Ageing more soft keys would be cool. Also if there were a way to add the menu button down there that would be best.

Yea a quick warning would be awesome, even though you can uncheck the soft reboot option. Imagine if your desktop just started rebooting itself Lol.

Lastly, the keyboard down keys.

I'm looking forward to the update this weekend.

In case anyone was concerned with this forcing a boot loop or anything, it absolutely 100% worked perfectly the first try.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] beejjacobs:
Thank you :)

Downloaded off Play, and rated.

Worked great first time.

More keys would be great, but you know this :)

Only other comment would be is it possible to turn the initial warning off after the first launch?

The message about BusyBox comes up everytime and I was trying a few combos to see what to settle on and it seems unnecessary each time.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] AshtonTS:
Do you think it would be possible for this app to be able to adjust the navbar DP and transparency?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Droid2drummer:
Hi dev. Janis..This is and has been a great addition for users especially like myself on the constant flashing and modding. This "On the fly" application has proven itself simple, useful and quite nice even on the eyes. Since I'm here I'll give my two cents. Keep it up. You've done great things. If you could, which I'm sure you will, add or keep adding more features and icons!

I had emailed you about the applying on heavy themes, which you of course had pointed out in the app instructions but I was mainly adding that once back on stock theme I changed the icons and then from there they stuck like chuck. Great job. Great guy. Great app. Thank you!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
Ok here is the plan:

an option to use your own images

redo the UX and UI so their theming will fit nicely to my other apps

add some new softkeys

Oh, and thanks for all the positive feedback.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
I'm not sure what DP means, could you explain that?

Adding transparency is a thing of ROMs, a standalone app can't do that. :(
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] phoenix.505:
Awesome work, just what I had been looking for.

Yeah same here I have icons that have been enlargend and for some reason the buttons are warped and distorted, usually the back button. But when I install a regular pack (one from the server), the buttons are fine. Any fix/solution? EDIT: I am on Lollipop 5.0.1

If screenshots are needed I will be happy to post some.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
That would actually help. I have only heard of *just* the back button being stretched and then always.

CyanogenMOD based ROMs seem to be affected.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ANDR01DN00B:
Actually I am on a Google Play Edition ROM on my M7, and this is weird. The pack I have downloaded and imported is warped whether I use my enlarged version or the regular size. But any other pack I use works fine :eek:

Weird... It must be the pngs themselves...

I didn't see this anywhere else in the thread, but if I missed it, apologies.

Running Android 4.1.1 stock ROM on a Kobo Arc. I use SuperSU and Busybox is installed
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
cp is part of the busybox binary. If you type cp in a terminal emulator, what does it return?

My softkeyz won't change anymore and I don't have a clue what has happened any ideas? The softkey highlighter changes but not the softkeyz
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] JaredTamana:
Ok. I used a different busybox installer and it worked. I set a soft key and it tried to restart my device. Now, it won't boot. At all. Not even into recovery. Did it brick my device?! Please help, it's quite urgent.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
Reflash your ROM using a method of your choice. update.zip or fastboot, doesn't matter.

Factory reset isn't needed.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] JaredTamana:
Again, I'm new to root mechanics, and have no idea how to do this. I looked up tutorials but didn't understand any. I'm sorry D: I didn't have any backups installed at the time.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] tonyafc:
Anyone?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ohlin5:
So, I've tried this app, and it successfully changes the softkey buttons. However, my problem is that I've made several custom buttons that have transparent backgrounds, and them imported them into the app. However, once I do, all of the icons suddenly have black backgrounds, instead of transparent. Any idea what might be causing this?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ahmedkk:
Yeah, I had the same problem. I unchecked "Crop the imported image" when importing the buttons, that should make it work.

My guess is, it crops it into a format that no longer retains transparency.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] JaredTamana:
Today i went past the room I kept my tablet in and saw the LED light flashing orange, which it hadn't done before. I went in and pressed the power button. It showed the "fully charged" icon and then turned on!! Thank god! Now getting a custom recovery and backing EVERYTHING up. :victory:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
It's a bug. "New" in the latest release of SoftKeyZ. It will be fixed for the next release. The thing is that my time is currently pretty limited: I am a univeraity student and finals are coming closer n closer.

Another important thing is the support for the One M8. (Could someone with the rooted stock Lolipop ROM please contact me?)

Aside from this: I'd like to announce that I am investing into a designer who will submit button packs to the Online Gallery on a weekly basis.

The first two packs have already been uploaded. If you have suggestions for button packs let me know.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ANDR01DN00B:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gazzacbr:
haha, thanks, I just came back here to say it doesnt work on my M8 maximus 4.4.4 sense ROM :D

also have GO launcher and I am not sure if that also messes with the frameworks.

installed app, changed icons, rebooted and nothing happened.

started app, and says that new icons are loaded.

then i selected backup to restore to normal but after reboot i lost nav buttons and dock and status bar and notification panel :(

i did have a feeling it was not going to work so took TWRP backup and had to restore.

no problem really, thats what backups are for.

shame as i really liked this mod when i was on stock.

any other apps that will do this?

i will also have a look for manually changing icons but i am sure that is going to be painful :(

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] vanessaem:
I'm currently on CM. There an issue, discussed on this thread, involving a warping of the back button. The developer said that he's working on it or will be when he has the time. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Clark Joseph Kent:
Thanks Ms V, is that for all the back buttons? I am using circulus and some of plegdroid work, I didnt notice the warping, but I should wear my glasses more :cool: then again it my be the helmet :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] vanessaem:
I don't think this issue occurs on all roms. I distinctly remember it not happening on a different Lollipop rom I was on. I wish I could remember which it was. I think I flash too many roms. :rolleyes:

Anyway, it could be an issue on some CM or AOSP builds but I can't confirm.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
So, does it work for you now on the Sense ROM?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
See, it's the CM base that seems problematic. I don't know who I could contact about this or what I should do. I am not so much into custom ROMs and AOSP.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] vanessaem:
Don't even worry about it. I was just mentioning the issues with CM for those who may be having trouble using the app with it. Obviously it's an issue with some roms and not the app itself. Like I mentioned before, your app worked great on other roms I've used. It has also worked great on stock builds. You aren't responsible for how things work on various roms.

Honestly, I'm considering changing from CM12 to something else because it doesn't seem to have the best compatibility with your app. ;)

Your app is one of the best in the market.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] atoyota:
Amazing app, bought it yesterday.

Just a question, though.

I've put an icons folder into "Saved" and I see the icons on the "Saved configurations" correctly, but when I apply them they are too small. That doesn't happen if I import the buttons one by one deselecting the "crop image" option.

So my guess is that when applying from "saved configuration" the icons get cropped automatically, right? Is there a way to disable that?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jeffzmagboo:
Works like a charm on CM Based ROM for LG G3 but no luck on Stock Based ROM.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
SoftKeyZ will only apply pngs which have a 1*1 ratio. If they aren't in that ratio, SoftKeyZ will cut the sides of.

Finally the buttons are scaled to the dpi-level your ROM uses.

For best results use pngs with 288*288 pixels.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
Yes, that's because LG made it pretty hard to modify their soft buttons.
