Hello

I know some of you already knows this. So if you already known this, you can leave it. This is for new comers like me

You all know that the default navbar for XperiaL only 3 buttons, back-home-recents app... So we'll make 2 additional button, thats are lock & menu..

[1] You have to find 5 icon for our new 5 navbar..you can search on this forum, or you will made the icons by yourself,doesnt matter..the important is you gets HDPI icons for HDPI device, xHDPI for xHDPI device...

[2] Decompile your SystemUI.apk...go to res/drawable-hdpi (for hdpi device)...make sure your icons have same name with icons from this folder...copy your icon to this folder...

[3]Go to res/values folder and search ids.xml and open it with Notepad++..Then add this line at the end before </resources>

Save it and close

[4]
Go to res/values/strings.xlm... Add this line

Save it and close

[5]
Now go to res/layout folder and find navigation-bar.xlm open with Notepad++...

Before saving, next to step 6
