Softkeys installation

Hello Guys,
I want to change the softkeys on my nexus 4.
I have did it before in older android versions and it worked great.
Intresting enough,
On kitkat I'm having trouble changing the softkeys.
After updating Edify successfully
I can't seem to load the softkeys zip file.
It says:
SKIPPED://system/app/SystemUIapk was not found
WARNING: update.zip would be empty -- not creating one!
I've changed the xml path as follows:
from:
<path>/system/app/</path>
to:
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
according to the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...pthemer-to-flash-themes-stock-t2202482/page11
and then he says:
can't find control file ...
Guys please advise,
Would much appriciate it.
Thanks a lot!

Or in other words ....
How do I change the softkeys on kitkat?
Thanks.

somebody can help please?

Hi, yes we can help, but keep patient ^^
I'm the OP of the thread you linked, and if you tried to change the xml, you certainly saw the latest messages.. Another member had the same problem and I just changed the xml file, it worked good, are you sure you've done it correctly (I'm not insulting you but, you know...)

If you upload the zip you are trying to edit then I can take a look to see what's wrong :good:

Thanks for the responses guys!
I'm not insulted I'm just human and I can make mistakes so everything is cool
I'll ellaborate all the steps that I did so it will be easier for you guys to help me.
I've entered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t2005937
Chose Stock Reflect ICS BLUE theme for the nexus 4.
When entering the link
I've downloaded MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eglqkhlw...k Reflect Blue/MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.zip
I've extrected the file locally and receive two things:
1) MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect.xml
2) SystemUI folder which contains other things underneath.
The xml file before the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>
<rom>ICS / JB</rom>
<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
The xml file after the change:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MMZT_softkeys_stockreflect</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>atticus182</author>
<phone>Nexus 4 / Galaxy Nexus</phone>
<rom>ICS / JB</rom>
<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/priv-app/</path>
<description>(Mod Requires a Reboot)</description>
<notes>Visit xda-developers.com for more mods</notes>
After the change I've compiled the xml and the folder together to a new zip file.
In my nexus 4,
I downloaded ZipThemer
Downloaded the newest CM rom and transfered it to my phone.
Inside ZipThemer I've updated the edify using the CM rom file
and the output was success.
Here's a link for my updated zip file:
Code:
http://speedyshare.com/TVepR/MMZT-softkeys-stockreflect.rar
If I can give any more details please let me know
And thanks a alot for the effort
I appriciate it

In fact you must update edify with the zip from the rom you are currently using... I don't know the vanilla rom, in what is it special?

Hey mate,
It's not a rom,
It's the stock android that we have on nexus devices ...
What you get from system update through the phone
Over the air android.

Oh I thought the vanilla was the name of a special rom...
Anyway, try the attached file. But make a full non-droit backup, we don't always know what happens...

[Q] Deodex stock .681 ROM?

Could somebody help me: "How to" easy deodex my rooted .681 ROM?
I'm not expert :angel:

I too am waiting impatiently for this

Why wait when you can do it yourself.

Not everyone can. Can you do that? Or write how to do it.
But it is best to have a flashable zip patch.

If you can read and got a computer you can deodex. See the link in my sig.

Download the attached zip, navigate to the system folder so you see the 3 folders I've mentioned, then drag and drop the same 3 folders from the ROM into it (don't change any compression settings) then flash.

So if I get it right I can do the same with this rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723674 but I need a new zip to replace the files for the 757 firmware or I can use the same one that you attached here for the 681 rom ?
