Theme/Nav bar mod question/thing - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'm sure this will be quick and too the point.
How do I get an image behind my soft keys?
If I can't, where do I get shortcuts to go to home/back/recent etc if I was to use full screen mod?

You can't get an image for a navbar easily. There was a thread on it a long time ago and it was a lot more trouble than it was worth. If you want to go full screen you can use the button on the power menu or you can download LMT Launcher from the XDA Android Apps and Games section. It has some pie controls you can use like the advanced settings in the browser.

Yea I tried lmt and didn't really like it that much and power button is just a pain.
Any chance anyone could find that thread? I searched couldn't find it. Might be worth the trouble because it looks so sexy.

It hasn't been updated since 4.0.3

Yes the last one says statusbar but there's navbar in there somewhere.

Its just some simple text editing in the SystemUI.apk. Using apktool to decompile it, add a drawable reference to the image and then recompile the apk. Push to your device using adb or root explorer and job done.

Soft Key for AOKP Widget button

I was looking around to see what soft key would work for the new toggle widget feature in AOKP build 38 and couldn't find something I liked so I made this. What do you think?
I just made it a long press.

Could you make app icons in similar fashion?

Transparent navigation bar

Does anyone know if this is possible to do. I think it would give our nexus a better full screen effect.
Anything is possible but it supposedly killed performance on old versions
But I would also like to see this in the future
And also there are multiple threads explaining this bump

Yes it is possible... But you're going to have to do some decompiling and compiling and change the status bar back ground .PNG file and recompile the .apk....

well, you can't get transparent navigation bar in JB by changing the background only, but you have to do your changes in smali too
A black to transparent fade in both status and navbar would be sweet as hell.
Please make this happen <3
Just like in Atrix HD
Bump! lookin' forward to this mod
What does the atrix launch with? ICS or jb?
Bump! i'd love it!

ICS for sure. When JB was released, it was only available for the Galaxy nexus, nexus S and motorola XOOM, and the Atrix was out before that
What's with all the talk about status bars? The guy asked about the navigation bar (where the soft keys are)
Haven't seen anything about it. But I agree that it would be pretty sweet and I would be down.
I've read on another thread that someone managed to make the navbar transparent. Only problem was the glow from touch stayed after using the buttons...
Haven't read that thread in a while, think it died.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have been thinking about this too since the day I got my Gnex..
I use a black background usually, but I think it'd be very very cool to get the navbar to be transparent. Even if the button glow had to be removed (when I run AOKP, I turn the button glow off anyway - I think it looks retarded how it gets cut off on the top and bottom on shorter nav bars).
Would definitely be interested in seeing something done here.
Couldnt we just get a cm build from them and copy the framework required?
I'd love a transparent volume indicator. I know its available but I want to have it on the stock Google ROM.

Awesome would be 80 or 100% transparebt Statusbar i think kind of easier. But i don't know either.. but i may be wrong

(Request) Holo black drop down menu/notification drawer for CM10

Hey guys.. so using (quite a lot) few different themes and flashables I nearly have a fully inverted CM10 ROM running now. The only thing I'm really missing now to complete my look is a proper holo black (transparent or not I don't mind) drop down status bar. Any of you fellow xda peeps know where I can find a flashable that will just theme the drop down only?
Cheers

I always just pull my SystemUI.apk and replace notification_header_bg.9.png and notification_panel_bg.9.png to make a fully blacked out (not transparent) drop down menu/status bar.

Step by step? I'm not that technical lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Copy SystemUI.apk to your computer, and use a program like 7Zip or WinRAR to copy/paste the pngs in this zip (https://www.box.com/s/rzisk7efjj21r4bqunvz) to the res/drawable-xhdpi folder in the apk. Then paste the changed SystemUI.apk back to your system/app folder, set permissions, and reboot. That should give you a status bar that's completely blacked out (see attached screenshot).
As always, take precautions before doing this, just in case something got messed up along the way.

Actionbar

Is there a file I can download that allows me to remove the action bar? Or do I need to use a different ROM?

Upload your framework-res.apk and I'll send you a .zip.
You can add this line to your build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 or let Jubakuba edit your current framework.apk

Good solution...
But the harder solution is "better" in that you'll still get ICS+ optimized menu buttons. (You know, the three dots. If apps see that you "don't have" a NavBar" they don't show the three dots...since that generally means you have a hard menu button).
Decompile framework-res.apk
/res/values/dimens.xml holds three lines in relation to navbar size. Edit all three to 0.0.
Profit.
For this person your edited framework would be best. In my case I use gesture to control back, home, menu & power off/on, so the build.prop is best for me.
How do I do that?

Use a file explorer to copy it from /system/framework/framework-res.apk
To your SD card.
Upload somewhere.

Last night I was trying again with apktool and when decompiling systemui, framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk only twframework would install in prompt. I trued from link you supplied and found another on youtube with vid tut. So after tring to decompile the systemUI

Fcuk hit send button..
In the systemUI folder that pops up in apktool folder there was only smali folder. No manifest no res nothing just smali.. I deleted and retried like 12 times with different rom bases. I even tried yours to just see where edits where made maybe thinking I could make zip but nothing worked. The closest I got was with apk manager. Im dumb though and just literally installed notepad++ now. Wish I had yesterday. My desktop looks like my kids room. Lol

What tint are you talking about? I don't notice it.
There is a tint of your notifications that come in the top left of the screen. I believe it takes away a lot of the good looks of touchwiz roms. When the tint is removed I believe it looks so much better
The correct way to do it is decompile the SystemUI.apk, then in the values folder open the dimens.xml.
Edit line 25 and 26 and change the % to 100.0% on both lines and recompile.

Hey bp. Thanks for the response. Any possible way you can make a zipp that can be flashed on touchwiz roms to eliminate the tint? It would be much appreciated!
