Not that this is a direct answer to your question but, I think this thread might have the information you are looking for.
I've used zipthemer before and it was a breeze but, it looks like you have the options of tuning your own keys with some of these methods. I used zipthemer to install custom softkeys before but, now I just use the utility included in the new Eclipse JB build 8 to completely customize my navbar. The Eclipse rom is here.

Thank you, but my problem is to change the icons of custom apps in navigation bar.
The icons of standard softkeys are in SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi, but I don't see the icons of any application that I insert in navigation bar!

You would change the icon of the app itself from within its apk.

Yes, this is a possibility but my question is clare: I would like to know what is technically the file to edit.

Are there any app that allows us to swipe the bottom to show/hide the navbar like Smart Statusbar?

I use Nova Launcher and it gives you an option to show/hide the status bar and dock. You can then assign a gesture to show/hide them if you like.

I think he's talking about the actual navigation bar, not about statusbar or dock. I'd be very interested too, but I doubt it unless it is cooked into a ROM.

flash paranoidandroid and be fully happy

Oh sorry, my bad. I though the OP was talking about the status bar since the app he referred to has screenshots of the status bar being hidden.
But ya not sure if there is an app to hide the nav bar (back, home button...) unless on a custom ROM.

What can it do?
Thanks guys for the replies.

I think he means swipe up on the screen to open the launcher menu.

Here's what I'm doing at the moment:
1) ROM: ParanoidAndroid 2.14 (about to flash 2.16 which is reported to have transparent navbar)
2) Alt. Nav: LMT 1.5
3) Launcher: Apex
Using PA 2.14, I went to settings to hide the navbar completely (it never comes back up unless I turn it back on). I then use LMT 1.5 to navigate (typically through "pie" buttons at the edge of the screen, but gestures are also supported). I also hid my status bar via Apex Launcher and toggle it on and off.
Note: Apex Launcher only hides my status bar at the home screen. When I am on any other page aside from home, the status bar comes back automatically. You can completely disable navbar and status bar in PA using the "expanded desktop" feature.
Took me a few days to come up with this set up, but it works great :good:
edit: as far as swiping up to access navbar, try apex's gesture settings

Thanks. Tried LMT and it work great. Will stick to this for now.

Can someone post a screenshot of the transparent nav bar on PA? Thanks! :good:

Navbar removal is now an option in CNA ROM as well.

i use nova launcher. i have it set to always hide the status bar by default, but when i swipe down itll show/hide it.

if the rom you are using has the expanded desktop feature, you can enable it to disable both status bar and nav bar thus making your gnex full screen

Navigation Bar Height

Is there a ROM that allows you to change the navigation bar's height to something smaller?
Or, must I edit framework-res.apk? If yes, how?
tks!

[Q] Hide divider line above navbar

Is there a way to remove the divider line between the navbar and the dock?
I'm using Android Revolution HD 21.0.
Thanks a lot!

I'm not using ARHD, but I know on a lot of ROMs; I'm on ViperOne, and this is what I do; there is an option to set the navbar height to zero. It gives you a lot more screen real estate.
Then set up pie controls , and use them instead of the navbar.
Footnote: I also have auto hide on the dock, so that it disappears after 2 seconds. I like a clean screen, and a simple swipe up brings them back again. I don't need them showing on every homescreen. I know where they are. Like I said: screen real estate.

Using pie controls instead of the navbar is a good idea indeed. I'll try that.
However, I was curious if there is a way to just hide the divider line between the navbar and the dock. According to the description, this module is supposed to do that. However, I couldn't find the option that hides the line.
Thanks anyway!
