[Q] Custom 4-button Nav Bar Mod for existing ROM?

Where can I find custom navigation bar mods? What I want is an ALWAYS on nav bar, as if hardware buttons were present at the bottom of my screen. I want 4 nav icon buttons in this order form left to right: Menu, Back, Home, Search
Is this possible? So tired of having to hunt/hope for the tiny 3-vertical dot menu option squeezed over where it is not convenient to get to. I do NOT need the silly open-app switcher button that is on the right now. I did some searching but couldn't find a mod that could be allied to my current custom JB rom, only other ROMs that I'd have to flash the whole thing to get.
Thanks!
-edit-
Found this thread, but none of those links provide a solution for this

Yes its possible, this mod is everywhere.

After you posted this I sepnt 30 more minutes on Google and 2 hours in the Nexus Themes/Apps forums, but STILL have yet to find this. Everyone wants you to modify your SystemUI.apk or just overwrite an image file. For crying out loud..I just want a flashable zip to do in CWM Recovery that has the four options I mentioned above. I cannot believe nobody else has wanted this, it's the biggest (and only) downfall of the Nexus.

[MOD][JB4.1.1 JRO03C and CM10] Thyrus Mod Thread (Navbar/Mods/CM10 Themes)

I was looking for a mod that would do Vibrant keys (menu-home-back-recent) but couldn't find it. Turned out it's so easy to do yourself! All you need to do is decompile SystemUI.apk, edit layout/navigation_bar.xml, compile it back and adb push to /system/app
Not a rocket science, really

Oh that's all...lol. Come on. Most people do not use ADB or decompile on here. We use the GNex Toolkit by mrskip (which in turn handles ADB tasks auto-magically) or we do what little we can in a root explorer, but other than that it's beyond 90% of ppl on here (despite the name of the forum). Now, I know that there are flashable zips, I just cannot find one with the 4 buttons I like. Everything has the silly 'recent apps' button on the right that I never use. I need that to be a search button like every other phone.

I am on a CM10 based JB ROM. What AOKP ROM do you recommend. It's really odd that I cannot do this on CM10 without a degree in programming.

It hasn't been added yet to jelly bean ROMs. Flash aokp milestone 6, it does exactly what you want. Its ICS though.

Yes but I don't think aokp JB fully merge in apk those features yet, so I think you have to go back to the fully loaded milestone 6.

It does actually. JB AOKP has it all, great ROM. Glad to have finally found a daily driver.

elly Bean rom with ability to toggle soft keys on/offs?

on ICS there was a rom called gummy which allowed you to toggle the soft keys on and off from the power menu. i really miss this feature in JB and now that the gummy rom has been discontinued was wondering if any roms have this feature. I have not been able to find one. Thank you.

paranoid and cyan can, and any ROM can do this with the full screen app from the LMT thread. Except for some reason it doesn't work yet on aokp jb.

Well if you are on Cyanogen or any other rom based on it, you can enable soft keys or just like @geniusboy93 suggested you can use pie controls. Go to themes and apps section and look for pie controls.
Good luck.

[WIP][AOSP][DEV] Android 4.3 port d2att

Download links removed, it's just 4.2.2 framework and apps with 4.3 in the names. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I thought this was 4.3 from the beginning myself. If anyone wants to start trying to port the 4.3 Galaxy S IV google edition, or 4.3 from the Nexus 4 over, just shoot me a PM. I'll be glad to risk my device to help the community.
To any mod that sees this, go ahead and close it or keep it open for development reasons.

eh? I'll upload it to a few more mirrors, the mega mirror is working fine for me.
EDIT: Mirror 2 is up on Hotfile, if the mega mirror is giving anyone problems.
Drop me a PM if you need a tester, I'm not longer helping on development other than rom testing. cause you know, android + someone that loves technology = FLASH FLASH FLASH

Thank you very much for this. I will have to download this for some testing.

I also added a 3rd mirror, just incase.

Yeah settings is a bit screwed. We couldn't figure out how to get it working right while trying to maintain pure AOSP settings by removing all of the CM settings.

Because samsung hasn't released source code for 4.2.2, because its not out officially (Everyone that has a samsung phone and is involved in development knows how slow samsung is with version updates,) And for 4.3, this is a leaked build ported from the Xperia Z. We would have much rather tried AOSP, but every attempt with a AOSP rom (Such as the Google edition S4 rom) we couldn't get the system to boot, so we stuck with what we could get working. We would have rather used all of google's sources, but there wasn't much of any other way for us to do it, especially since all of the AOSP roms for the d2att are built using CM libraries. It's a mess of what we've done, i know but at least we were able to bring it over to the device.

Well, like I said I'm still able to help test the rom and look for bugs, but I need someone to help develop on it.

I think port from galaxy s4 4.3 ROM would be better. If @CNexus Ported HTC sense to a Samsung device using a CM10 kernel, we can do better.

From what we figured out when we tried the S4 4.3 port, refused to boot no matter what we did, The Xperia Z booted without any issue, just with bugs.

You are welcome to use and fix whatever you can. I actually have no developer experience, Lemagex was the one fixing the bugs, I was the one testing for him, since he has an Xperia Z, and I have the i747.

[APP] Launcher3 w/ Working Landscape

This is a build of Launcher3 from AOSP corrected to properly display icons and folders in Landscape. "Properly" is a bit of a misnomer. I fixed it by reducing the size of icons for Flo. I think the correct fix is deeper than that, but haven't found that yet. Anyway, it doesn't cut icons off and works pretty well.
Things to know:
- This is the 4.4 Launcher, but it is not the GEL. There is no Google Now integration at all. (and the long-press Settings icon does nothing)
- The Quick Search Bar will not display after you switch to Landscape. Pressing Home while in Landscape makes it pop up.
UPDATE: The apk linked below is more current than the one attached. It's built with no minSdk restriction and should work on 4.2 or above. (It definitely needs 4.2)
http://www.mediafire.com/?4roil3438gbz6qk

Forgot to mention that this is built for minSdkVersion=19 (4.4) because that is what it's set to in AOSP. I don't actually know if that affects installing from an APK, but I can probably build it for 18 if anyone wants. That should work since it does for the GEL. (I know it needs 16 at least from things I noticed playing around in it)

There's a link to an APK with no version limitation in the OP. I've been told it doesn't install on CM 10.2, but I was able to install (but not run) it on my ICS phone. (I have no devices with JB installed currently.) And again, it does absolutely need 4.2.

I get there was a problem parsing the file with this.

Sorry. Not sure what was wrong with that apk. Updated the link with one which I'm 99% sure will work, and including it below. I tested this one on my Stock 4.3 N7 and it does work. (No transparency) There's no reason it shouldn't on 4.4. It's technically modded a bit, but that's all mostly broken and disabled in this build. I'll be releasing that soon.

That happens to me on my S3. It usually fixes itself after a minute or so. On my N7 it's perfectly fine. Are you using the latest versions that I posted above?
