[Q] Any thoughts about this idea? Is it realizable?
- Thread starter gabbre
- Start date
The space in the ICS bar is underused so I made this concept. Does any developer think that is feasible?
I have added more soft keys to mine, all u need to do is edit the systemui.APK
The problem I'm having is that A) the from I'm using will not work with apktool in any way shape or form, B) when I did get it to work on one of the nightly builds of EOS I could not get the icons to stay symmetrical,
How every if u want to try for yourself read up on Modding the soft keys for ics,
I've written a few tuts on it over at rootzwiki, just search my user name over there and u will find them, its all in the galaxy nexus cmda thread.

There are a few, note the few difference between tab and phone is the nav bar is the soft key location on phone and its status bar on tab,
Also search android event key code and u can simple replace the key code that is called when u press a soft key, change a few pngs and presto new soft keys
If u have a question search my name I've answered almost every question about this stuff over at rootzwiki

That would be great not at PC to upload them at the mo, I am using cm9 for Xoom at the moment.
OK, its rather easy...almost easier to do from tab, using any root file manager just copy the apks from /system/ app and framework to your SD card and use dropbox( free app from marketplace) long press on the file and send select drop box and upload, one uploaded open drop box click on file and select option share, then copy link. Then paste link in thread,
Also need to know what nightly or version rom

Runandhide05,
You need to do some major cleaning up on your tutorial. It's so hard to understand the way you have it written out. Paragraph breaks would be a good place to start.

Thank u, I'll take a look at them and let ya know.
Looks like apktool 1.4.3 will work without any modifications.

you beast you, thank you.
if its a simple process the guys in the softkey mod topic will be rather happy.
and if it can be done via an update.zip they will wet them self im sure.
OK, I'all tell u what, I'm going to get off this rom I am on now and whip up a few and do an in depth tut for the Xoom specifically
They will be via update zips, I have not messed with the zipthemer so I don't have a clue how to make any like that

Has no one else figured out how to do it on the Xoom with ics yet? ... I kinda thought most people figured that stuff out already

Awesome, just Awesome ...
Every DEV would want to include this in their builds!
Do your realize how EPIC this would be? You gotta Brand it -

Thank you so much - this won't interfere with the Softkey Mod that I am currently using right?
You gotta name this Beast of a Update zip. Whatcha gonna call it?

Doesn't seem to be in any mod yet. Can't wait to see what you produce.

Most of the zip files include menu and search so wont be a problem. I will include extra icons in any that need it if this mod works.

FTW 2 - your sir are the man! I just did not want to part with my Robo blue text LOL
okwell i am looking into the zipthemer, and first flash was an epic fail...lol
i have perviousely made them as update zips, which would completely replace your systemui
so any mods that i dont inculde would be bye bye, however thats why i am playing with the zip themer, never used it so a little learning curve to make zips for it and what not, but il get u guys covered
