Soft Keys - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I just flashed TeamBAMF and coming from AOKP I am missing a couple features and was curious if there is a way to mod these things myself or if youre only able to change what features the ROM has been developed to allow. The thinkgs I want to do aree:
change the soft key layoutshrink
the size of the softkey icons
move the clock to the center
replace battery icon with just a number
Just realized i posted this in wrong place, can a mod please move to Q&A?

The first 2 are extremely easy to do, the second 2 not so much. I can't really help you with the latter but I can help you with the first 2. I'm on BAMF now and have already made a couple navmods for it.

so for the first 2 how did you do it?

Can you hide navigation bar in this rom? I have battery issues in AOKP but my problem is with customization in AOKP. I can't find them in other roms. Codename is best rom for battery and performance. I just want navbar hide option and I will move back to Codename rom.

Transparent status / nav bar - LTE / 4.03

I'd really love a transparent status bar and navigation bar. It looks like this has been done here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388554&page=12
Unfortunately this does not work on 4.03 and in addition there are differences between LTE and CDMA so the mod would need to be LTE specific in my case.
Does anybody know of such a mod that exists? I've searched high and low. Thanks!

Thanks for the statement, now you mind sharing the info....gotta screen shot, where's the mod? I assume you're running the GSM version?
me wantz this too.... !!!!
Works for me on 4.0.3 - you need to put in some work yourself if you dont want the percentage battery, tho. ROM needs to be deodexed afaik.
Frysee, Is that a flashable CWM file? and does it work with LTE/Toro Nexus? Thanks in advance... Realy looking forward for this mod.
Will this work on revolution HD 4.0.2? Also can toy flash it through cmw?
Would love to know if this works on the CDMA nexus as well, specifically running Axiom 2.4, with battery percentage and search button in nav bar enabled
Is there something with only the clear Navigation bar? I dont want to mod the status bar
does this work on gummy rom?

Does not work on LTE AOKP, lost notification bar and status bar, I'll see what i can come up with
doesn't work with GSM AOKP as well. lost notification and navigation bar
I'm on milestone 2 and it has softkey mod also. Idle on rootzwiki did for me. He is awesome. He has others posted too with softkey mods built in you should go look. He may be able to custom make one for you like he did me. Here's a pic.

softkey mod is easy as long as you have the PNGs.
hmmm. maybe the notification bar and navigation bars are also just a couple of PNGs?
can anyone point me in the right direction? I think I can do this myself if I know which files to replace

Idle has then built into one mod. So get the transparency plus choice of different softkeys. You can ask him how he did it.

I tried to do the mod with apk multitool and decompiling the systemui.apk myself last night but I kept losing the nav bar and not bar, then I tried to do Idle's mod and I still kept losing them despite it being built for AOKP m2, so if you figure out if its just a png replacement let us know!
I been at this all night; couldnt get it going at all...just kept losing everything. And here I thought I just didnt know what i was doing. Let me know if anyone figures it out.
Thanks

Navigation bar change icons

Hi just got text navigation bar icons from another users recommendation. How would I go about installing them?

In rom TwistedAOSP-v2.5.2-GSM you can change nav bar icons to other and if I not wrong with the text.

Hey can you share them? I have been looking for some for ages.
As implied it's rom dependant: it was in my AOKP based 4.1.2 rom Blackbean (I think it pretty much all AOKP 4.1.2 roms), is not present in my current AOSP based 4.2.1 rom (rasbeanjelly).
Dunno which 4.2.1 roms it's in atm but if present it'll be under rom control (whatever your rom calls it), navigation bar options.

[JB] AOKP VS. CNA... Helping devs out!

Ok, I decided to start this thread in order for these roms to get better. It's not just a question of who's the best but this thread aims to provide both groups with users expreriences in order for their roms to get better. In order for us to do that we need to state our:
** likes for each rom
** dislikes
** battery life
** other bugs
** suggestions
If you ask why I choose those to roms, it's just because they're my two favorites. Respect to all devs here us their work is simly amazing. Thread starts while AOKP is on build 3 and CNA on 3.6 release.
The only thing that I hate about aokp is their notification toggles. It doesnt fit at all!! (In the JB statusbar) while the power widget from cm10 fits like google put it in. So if aokp redisigns their toggles it would be nice.

CNA has an unroot option in the menu. Personally I prefer to have an unrooted device, but I like the customization of the ROM. It can be the best of both worlds.

See the toggles are what I love about aokp. I know I'm in the minority. Those toggles are stock jelly bean toggles just FYI.

same here, those toggles are my favorite, that power widget is the first thing i get rid of - i think it's an eyesore.
I was on CNA and its good but missing some features that I like in AOKP & CM10. Like the cm10 percentage battery and Led options like in aokp Also the navbar soft key customization. The main thing I noticed about CNA that I didn't like was, receiving text messages is slow, it takes a long time to get a text from the person. The only other ROM to be slow with receiving SMS was MIUI jellybean.

Cm10.1 RC3 Navbar dpi change & transparent statusbar

Many of you like me love the features that other roms give but want the stability and battery life of pure cm10.1 official...but i really like if they give options like aokp to center clock with date and resize navbar...they don't so i edit framework-res.apk to change navbar dpi to 36px...i didnt create a flashable zip so you have to manually replace the file with any root explorer!!
Download RC3
I can add more tweaks if anyone interesting...the least i can do!! feel free to ask and if i can i could add them...
Thx, I'll try it right now.

I've been looking for this for a while. It would be better if we could have transparent status bar and an extra option to change the size of it. It's unconfortable to change all the time the file.
I don't why these functions aren't included in CM10.1
edit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260772
This ROM includes this feature. Maybe I'll switch to it but I do like the offical CMs and updates.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pikachukaki/files/SystemUI.apk/download i add center clock for cm10.1 forgive me that i haven't test it cause im testing rootbox rom now...if anyone having problems i will remake it but test it firstly but i think its ok!!!
Does this mod work on stock also?

Transparent statusbar needs editing jar files and for a rom that have updates every day its a bit dificult to keep up!
Did anyone else use this with todays RC? Didn't work for me, the navbar just completely went away.

The zip worked for me on RC1.
The status bar goes to black or white when going into apps, that's normal though right? I haven't really used that feature before.

Extinction of TouchWiz ROMs

So has development of TW ROMs stopped? Is there not any mods or tweaks left to make a unique TW ROM? I'm kind of getting bored of having the same styled ROMs because honestly all CM based ROMs are pretty much the same because of the fact that they are all CM based obviously. It was nice having TW and CM7. Then getting CM9 and CM10 and now CM10.1 but it seems that all the ROMs have the same basic settings and themes.
Avatar ROM was a little different and I liked it but not too much different since its also CM10.1 based. What I'm really looking for is a TW ROM with all the mods that they're used to be like the lockscreens and clock position in status bar and all the little things that made TW ROMs better. Do any of those even exist anymore for any phone?

You not so satisfied with The People's and Legacy? I don't use them but they still seem popular after all this time.
And why not take time to theme and mod CM ROMs yourself? Themes, lockscreen mods, launchers and widgets are scattered around for you to revamp the experience. Personally I don't like non-AOSP style, but to imitate a GS3 I downloaded a "GS3-Addon", did a bit modification to it and flashed upon a CM10 nightly, which in the end turned out to be REALLY, REALLY similar experience to the real TouchWiz 5!
Just saying, you can try similar tricks yourself, though it takes some time

Could you post a screenshot of your TW 5? I'd like to see how close you've gotten. And your right about all that but I'm honestly just missing the good old TW ROMs that had amazing battery life and many tweaks and themes and stuff. I used to theme TW ROMs and worked on a few mods and I was doing pretty good but that was last summer. Since I started college I haven't really had much free time to work on that kind of stuff.

Not SO close actually TW-specific apps are mostly missing. But apps like S Note, Super Video (floating video player on S3), TW5 launcher and widgets are all there. More I can't remember.
I'll post screenshots 2 days later as we're having tests these days and my E4G is currently on CM10.1 so I have to restore the nandroid backup.

Its cool don't worry about the screenshots.
Do you know a way to get the lockscreen on cm10.1 to be like it was on 10 and 9? I mean to have the rings with the shortcuts before the actual unlock pattern? Is there a way to change that? I wanna start working on my ROM to make it the way I actually want.

@lilajrestnom Hey I have an idea. Settings - Lockscreen - check "Maximize widgets". In this way you'll have to long press the lock icon on the bottom of the screen to bring up the lock security, which I think is just what you want. This is tested to work with "pattern" lock security.

Ya I've done that and that's the closest I can get to what I actually want. I really just wanted the real rings before the pattern lock but it seems like that's the best I can do for now thanks tho.
