Use zipthemer HERE
download the zip file of your choice, and use zipthemer to create a flashable zip, then flash said zip to your device.
All icons and zips are in one folder, the zip and a pic of the icon are both labeled with the same name. simple click on the .png to see what it is before you download and flash the zipDOWNLOAD HEREthis is a beta simply because i do not have this tab and can not test, although should work flawlessly.

I made the Samsung Galaxy S3 hardkeys to Galaxy Nexus Softkeys.
Flashable with Metamorph or do it manually.
Did not try it, hope someone else can do it because my GNEX is in reperature.
Please post some screens if you flash it, so I can see and make it better, some updates etc.
DOWNLOAD LINK: http://www.file-upload.net/download-4445951/GalaxyS3SoftgeysForGNEX.zip.html
Tutorial:
MetaMorph
Download and install MetaMorph from the Market, open it at least once so that the folder AndroidThemes will be created on /sdcard/
Download a Softkey Style using the MetaMorph link and move this .zip file to /sdcard/AndroidThemes using your favorite file explorer
Open MetaMorph, choose "Unzip/Extract new theme" and select the .zip file you downloaded. A popup screen will appear, meaning it has been extracted. Press the "Close" button.
Hit the "Apply all!" button and wait +/- 5 seconds (nothing will happen)
Reboot your phone immediately after this and you're done! Oh, and set a new wallpaper because it may be restored to default..
(Phone can hang in "SystemUI has been ended". Just pull out battery and restart phone.
2. Advanced (Hard) Method - Edit the SystemUI.apk from your phone - thanks to bangdrum! Not working for everybody!
Download and install Root Explorer from the Market and make a Nandroid backup
Download the softkeymod you like
Open Root Explorer and navigate to /system/app/, find SystemUI.apk, long press, and select extract. Go to the folder sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted and make sure you have a folder that's called SystemUI
If the folder is there navigate to where you downloaded the chosen softkeymod (usually sdcard/download) and long press it. Select extract all. Go to sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted and there should be a folder with the name of the softkeymod.
Click on this folder, and also on the next. Hit the menu key and press 'Multi Select'. Highlight all the images included in the folder and select 'Move' at the bottom. Navigate back to the SystemUI folder, go to SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi and 'Paste' here. A command prompt should pop up asking to replace the current images. Select 'Yes For All'
Go back to the sdcard/speedsoftware/extracted folder, long press the SystemUI folder and select 'Create ZIP'
Rename the created SystemUI.zip to SystemUi.apk and move the SystemUI.apk to your /system/app folder. Change permissions of SystemUI.apk to rw-r--r--
Reboot your Galaxy Nexus (pull battery out and reboot, this is an essential step) and your softkeys will be modded!

Hello fellow XDA members! Today I will be showing you how to theme your NEXUS 7's Halo!
First, go grab whatever halo icon's you would like from this thread by ATTACK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309936
Second, make sure you have the app ZipThemer (link is on ATTACK's thread also) and grab ATTACK's ZipThemer TEMPLATE.
Next, you'll want to create a folder on your desktop where you will be working.
After that, drag all the Halo icon's you want to be changed into that folder.
In that folder, you'll want to put the ZipThemer TEMPLATE you acquired earlier, extract it so you see "[ZipThemer] TEMPLATE" as a folder (IF YOU SEE "SystemUI" AND "TEMPLATE.xml", THEN YOU EXTRACTED IT WRONG! CHOOSE "Extract files..." AND MAKE A FOLDER!).
Then, you'll want to drag and drop your icons you chose earlier into SystemUI>res>drawable-hdpi and remove drawable-xhdpi and drawable-mdpi.
For all the files, they will most likely be named "halo_bg (16).png" or "halo_back_left (3).png", etc. Remove the numbers in parentheses and make SURE the file name is "halo_whatever.png", with no numbers and no spaces. Then go zip it back up (DO NOT zip the "[ZipThemer] TEMPLATE" folder, select the folders INSIDE that, go to 7zip's menu (or winrar) and select "add to blahblah.zip".
Now, use ADB to push that new zip to your android. Here are two methods to doing this:
Method 1 (using ADB with a USB): "adb push c:\path\to\the\dot.zip /sdcard/Halo_Themes" or whatever you want the folder with the theme to be named
Method 2 (using ADB Wireless): First, go into the Play Store and search for "ADB Konnect (wireless ADB)". Install it and open it up. MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER AND YOUR TABLET ARE ON THE SAME NETWORK OR THIS WILL NOT WORK! Turn Wireless ADB on in the app, then run this in your command line: "adb connect 192.168.1.102:5555" OR whatever it tells you to run in the app (eg it might be different between you and me). NOW, do the adb push command again: "adb push c:\path\to\the\dot.zip /sdcard/Halo_Themes".
Now you're ready to move on to the ZipThemer part. Open up ZipThemer, and update Edify. ATTACK's thread has the instructions on how to do this if you don't know how.
Click on the +Theme button on the main UI of ZipThemer. Navigate to wherever you pushed the .zip to be, and select the zip.
Now, choose the output location (if you want it to stay in /sdcard, don't change anything).
Click "Build It!"
Click "Always" (this will make a backup of your current SystemUI.apk in case you screw anything up.
Now, once it's finished building the theme, boot into recovery (via ADB: "adb reboot recovery").
FOR CWM: Select Install, Install from sdcard (or whatever, not sideload), navigate to the .zip, select it, flash it, clear cache and dalvik-cache (you don't really have to do this, but better safe than sorry).
Reboot, and your Halo orb/icon should be changed!
If I helped, please Thank me!
If I derped up anything, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
**I WILL ADD PICTURES WHEN I CAN LINK (so ask questions!)**
Here is a lil tutorial for the easy way to theme your CWM or TWRP recovery backround and buttons etc.
-----
Whats needed:
PC (i have done it on Windows 8.1+10)
Android Kernel Kitchen or similar tool
7zip,Winrar etc
Photoshop,Gimp or Paint.net
-----
Whats known:
Not much,the only is that u never ever change
the name and file end from the images.
-----
1. First extract the recovery.img from your zip and place it were u want or in the folder from your Kerneltool.
2. Unpack it by drag and drop on the unpack option and wait till its done,now press enter.
3. Now go to ramdisk folder and open res folder and then images.
4. Make your changes and go away here.
5. Now press repack image and youre done so far.
The new recovery file is called image-new,just rename it to recovery put it in your zip and flash,enjoy!!!!!

Cool :thumbsup:
I'm one of a few who prefer using Onscreen Navbar Buttons and as i'm using them in Leedroid Rom, i need to modify them to my liking.
And as i have seen others with the same question, how to do that, i make a short, quick tutorial, what you have to do!
Overview:
- Second post deals with changing the images of the buttons
- Third post shows you, what to do to change the behavior if you push the buttons (based on xposed)
Disclaimer:
This part is modifying SystemUI.apk. If you make it wrong, or if you flash an outdated apk, your System/Phone might get unusable!
Make a backup in recovery and from everything which is important to you,just in case of. Better save than sorry
So, let's start!
Just want to thank some guys before, for their suggestions and for their input which i learned a lot from:
- LeeDroid
- Mr Hofs
- ckpv5
- xpirt
- baadnewz
Changing the images of the buttons
You need:
- WinRar or 7zip
- SystemUI.apk (must be deodexed, the apk from Leedroids rom is)
- your new button images as .png
How to:
Copy your SystemUI.apk from System/priv-app/SystemUI folder to your computer. Now you can open it with WinRar or 7zip. Make sure you just open it, do not extract it! Go to \res\drawable-xxxhdpi-v4 folder, there you will find the files to replace. And these files are:
- navigation_icon_back
- navigation_icon_down
- navigation_icon_home
- navigation_icon_recent_apps
I want the buttons to look like on my M8, so i used the png files from it. These are in size 76x76 and look a bit small. The google images are 88x88. I used an online png converter to resize the png's without loosing quality to 90x90 which is a good size for my liking.
So make sure, that your png files are named correctly, then drag and drop them into the opened apk file, into the drawable-xxxhdpi-v4 folder. Close the open apk window, thats it. Now you should be able touse this file for your Leedroid Rom.
Notice:
If you want the same images as i use, you can use for the actually Leedroid Rom (v4.0.0 svn119) the zip file from attachment and flash it in recovery.
You can also take my zip from attachment and replace the SystemUI.apk in \system\priv-app\SystemUI with your modded apk file and flash it with recovery (do it the same way like we replace the png's, drag and drop the apk and it will replace my SystemUI.apk).
But be aware: if Lee changes things in SystemUI.apk the file may need to be modded again! Otherwise it can cause an unusable System! Keep that in mind please. If you use svn, you can check what files are modded.
So, that's all. Nothing new or serious groundbreaking, but as i have seen the question if it's possible a couple of times, i felt it is time to write some words about it.
Maybe i'll add some pictures later on.
Have fun!
Change the behavior if you push the buttons (based on xposed)
This part is not really modding, as we use existing solutions. But i asked myself a long time, if its possible to do on Sense Rom while i'm on Resurrection Remix (where this is an basic feature). And it wasn't that easy way, until xposed for Nougat was released. But now i know that it will work and maybe this will help others, thats why i'll write here what to do.
You need:
- XposedInstaller (latest right now is 3.1.4, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811)
- Xposed framework as in recovery flashable zip from here (at the moment, for Leedroid Rom sdk24/arm64/)
- GravityBox [N] for Nougat
- if you want to remove it, the xposed uninstaller
How to:
Flash the xposed framework with the zip file in recovery. Reboot (may take a while) and intall the XposedInstaller.apk and the GravityBox [N] modul.apk.
Open xposed, go to module and tick the checkbox for GravityBox [N] (or activate the module from statusbar directly after you have installed it). A reboot is needed.
Open GravityBox, go to Navigation bar tweaks, enable the "Master switch" and make sure the checkbox by "Enable navigation bar" is ticked. A reboot may be needed.
Go back, scroll down and enter Navigation keys actions. Here you can set the actions for each button (Home, Back, Recents and if you use Menu). Also Long-press or Double-tap actions. It is very self explanatory here. If you scroll down, you can also set speed or dely for some actions. As far as i remember, again a restart is necessary.
Thats it.
I hope that helps some people to find their way around!
xstansa lets you change on screen nav buttons without modifying systemui as well
Disclaimer: I'm not the owner of these fonts. They are collected from "Font Manager" module by androidacy
Font manager is availabe, so why I'm posting this thread?
It's because I found some disadvantages in font manager module-
1/That completely depends on internet
2/Previewer is not great
3/So many almost same looking fonts
4/Often gives errors
Introduction:
Preview all & pick one from 112 cool fonts + download & apply it using file manager(Rooted).
Steps:
Note: Don't use solid explorer. Install & use "MT File Manager" . Otherwise you will face auto reboot while applying font.
1/ Backup default font: Open Mt file manager . Grant superuser permission. Right hand side is the rooted part. Go to /system/ . Long press on "fonts" folder. Click on copy button. Now it will be copied to the non rooted part. That's your backup.
2/ Preview fonts: Download the attached preview.zip file. Extract it using Zarchiver. You will find a folder "preview fonts" & an apk file "Font Viewer". Install the apk & open it. Go to settings of the app. There are 2 text boxes. Erase the pre-written text of first box & write "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog." In the 2nd box, Erase the russian numbers & write "1234567890". Go back to the main interface. Now browse & open the "Preview fonts" folder. All 112 font previews will appear in a group. You can see detailed preview by clicking on each. Find which font is best for you & note the font name.
3/ Download fonts: Click on the download link below. That's a google drive folder. Click on search button. Search the font name that you liked in preview. Download the zip file of that font.
4/ Apply/Install: Open MT file manager. On your left side, click on zip file of the font. On right side, Go inside /system/fonts/. Scroll a bit on left side (So that you can select all in left). Click 3 dots on top right . Select all. Long press on the selected files. Copy them to right side. Check the box to replace all without permiting one by one. Reboot your device.
Go back to default font:
Select all files in your backed up "fonts" folder. Copy and replace to /system/fonts as mentioned in the 4th step.
