Yup
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] maritimesbob:
I have that too. Even manually changing the nav buttons/icons through the rom settings and not using SoftKeyZ results in grey icons when applied.

I can only assume it's rom or cm11 related as Mahdi rom uses the new cm11 theme engine.

Hey there. Is there a way to apply soft buttons without a soft reboot, but rather only killing and re-launching SystemUI for example?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
Worked only 50% of the tries. It would sometimes disappear.

I m trying to flash 4.4.3 OTA on my Nexus 4 but its failing all the time and giving error "SystemUI.apk has unexpected contents". I realised that i have to restore the default keys after failing the OTA flash first time. But even after doing backup restore, its failing with same error.

What needs to be done in this case? I'm on stock 4.4.2 with TWRP recovery for just root access to my Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ANDR01DN00B:
There were some SystemUI commits/ changes made in 4.4.3 so the only solution right now is for the Dev to update the app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] akhil7j:
Oh.! That's sad. Don't know when developer will update the app.

4.4.3

Hey there,

I've just updated my Nexus 5 from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3. You will not be able to install the standard OTA update, as it'll check for modifications.

To update please follow one of the numerous guides out there http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2771cq/install_443_ota_for_rooted_users/

BTW, if you know what you are doing, just edit the update.zip so it won't check for mods. (That's what I did.)

When you're done and rooted (SuperSU latest version), SoftKeyZ will work again. The SystemUI hasn't been changed with this update.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] akhil7j:
Since I'm not a dev, I cant understand much of coding but I do explore things. My nexus is always rooted whether on stock or custom. Lately I am on stock with just custom recovery for root access. All the OTA updates so far i have flashed manually with TWRP and never got any issues until I installed SoftKeyZ which actually changed the SystemUI.apk. Yes, I am going through the guides you shared but this has to be fixed. A restore of backup from app should restore the SystemUI to its original state. Pls update the app to do so if I am making any sense. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] janis605:
I have to say that's what it does atm (simply copy&paste). But yes, I agree an update to the backup function is overdue. I will do this next. Update coming during the next days.

Hi guys,

Tried searching this thread but no luck, I've got a nexus 5 with softkeyz installed but whenever I play a full screen game the soft keys stay at the bottom they don't disappear like they did with the stock keys.

Also does anyone know how get the keys back to stock-I've installed the app but the keys stay the same don't revert back official android

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Garymeister:
Did you make the recommended backup prior or even save the configuration before altering? Also the stock aosp keys are in the online gallery.

---------- Post added at 01:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

The app changes what's stock in the system, such as the softkeys. Your altered keys then become the new "stock keys". Theme engine themes will always override stock settings because themes coat the system defaults.

Maybe there's a module workaround or a partial theme that doesn't alter the keys? Who knows... I've tried long ago.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Garymeister:
Hm, well I know for mine, the keys don't fully disappear on some apps; like most games. Never have. With Netflix I have to tap the screen a couple of times to auto hide them. But they do hide. Idt it's SoftkeyZ because I'm currently not modded right now so I believe it depends on the app you're using and if it's coded into that app. Camera, pictures and videos should hide them.

You can try the immersive mode feature of the GMD app or Gravitybox.

Android L isn't out yet. What you have may be a developer preview. It is an unstable taste of the new version of Android; a snapshot. Apps will formally be implemented usually when the OS is in full swing.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Garymeister:
You can copy your current keys from the app folder via file manager, paste them in a separate folder. Import them via Softkeyz. Resize them with an app like QuickPic/Gallery and they should all be corrected. That's what I did for my stock keys a while back.

For me, resizing them this way adjusted the images to the correct size automatically.

Just a tip:

If you guys went on customizing your navigational bar right after you activated SoftKeyZ without even saving a backup of your default/stock nav bar, you can never get your default/stock one if you decided to roll back and discard all your customizations. I experienced it myself. I didn't make a backup and when i wanted to roll back by clicking the "X" button, yes, it reverted back the look of the default M8 buttons, BUT way too large..

This hasn't mentioned in this thread, i just wanted to share what i did to fully return to stock without dirty flashing my ROM like the OP keeps on telling you guys. After all, there's only one apk file that SoftKeyZ mess up with. It's the SystemUI.apk.

Tl:dr

- Extract from your ROM.zip SystemUI.apk. IIRC, it's located in /system/app or if it isn't there, try in /system/priv-app

- Place the extracted SystemUI.apk on your internal storage/external sd card.

- Copy the extracted SystemUI.apk then paste it on /system/app

- Set proper permissions (i personally use Root Explorer, so it's been automatic for me)

- Finally, reboot your phone, and voila! Profit. No need to reflash/dirty flash your whole ROM. :)
