I had used my own SystemUI before, but it has been removed by flashing clean stock system. Currently I have only these modifications : SuperSU, XZDR recovery, DRM fix and Xposed Sony fix (to have Xposed running without clearing ART cache on each reboot).
[MOD][XPOSED][2018/3/20 6.3]Android NavBar Buttons
- Thread starter itandy
- Start date
Thats strange. On my gf's z3 it doesnt Show the buttons too, except the search button. She is rooted, xposed, flimit 4096 (flashable zip) and the navbar buttons activated.
Maybe i'am the chosen one

Can someone on stock 5.0.2 on the Z2 please post a screenshot of the L theme? Mine does not change. It just warps the stock icons
It's possible in new release including also the option to add screen off (4 bottons) like this ?
Thank for your work

You can do that already using user define theme. Screen off function is now supported in Search button.
Stock.. Gravitybox is the only module I had.. I tried uninstalling Gravitybox to test if it was due to it.. but still the same outcome... a number of users who is on the same device is also having the exact issue..(few post back)
@itandy
for me it is impossible to change the height of the nav bar, I do have Gravity Box installed but navigation bar tweak is set to off...if I remove GB from xposed, the height is set correctly with this app as soon as GB is back on, the height doesn't change and I have to use an other module (Dimensions Editor) to be able to fix the height to the desired value...
going from portrait to landscape is a bit glitchy as well
Here is the View attachment xposed_error_20150509_123201.log (this log is with GB navigation tweak set to off and your module, Dimensions Editor is not installed)

Sorry this is a conflict with GravityBox. As stated in the OP of GravityBox, it's designed in such a way that individual feature cannot be disabled completely.
Thanks, I thought from reading the OP that after disabling nav tweak in GB it would make the module work...my bad
but as I said, I was able to get the same result by adding Dimensions Editor module to accomplish the required effect.
Thanks and great work on your app

Is there any way of making the buttons different widths? I want the menu button but only a small one.

Currently button size is automatically scaled to fit the screen area. It cannot be changed individually.
@itandy - not sure if you found the source of the issue with "unthemable" buttons, but maybe you could create some development version with detailed logging which we can run and provide you with logs..?
Thanks!
No idea at this moment. But Lollipop for my Xperia ZR is coming. It's much easier once I have a working LP device to test.
I tried installing on pabx 5.1 and 5.1.1 and both are not working. It's working on 5.0.2 lollipop though. Surprise that no one else has the same problem....

49This Xposed module allows you to change the NavBar buttons on your Xperia/AOSP devices. On stock ROM, there're only three buttons on the NavBar (Back, Home and Recent Apps). Now you can have complete control of the buttons and how they look like.

- Restart SystemUI to see changes immediately without rebooting (Busybox required)
- Activate changes on the fly without root (Nougat only)
- Define left and right margin
- Define navbar height
- Define search button action
Requirements
- Your phone must be rooted
- Xposed framework must be installed first http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
- Xposed library 2.2 is required
Instructions
- Install the module
- Run Xposed Installer and enable the module Android NavBar Buttons
- Reboot the phone
- If you want to use your own button images, check out this link.

Limitations & supported devices
I developed this module based on AOSP source code and tested only on my Xperia devices. I expect it to work also on AOSP devices such as Google Nexus. You can try it on other devices but I don't expect it to work universally, especially HTC and Samsung devices because their framework is heavily modified.
If you enable this module and Tinted Status Bar together, the color for the Home/Menu/Recent/Back buttons will be controlled by Tinted Status Bar while the Search button color will be controlled by this module.
If you're also using GravityBox, you must disable Navigation Bar Tweaks. Otherwise, this module won't work.
Currently the following devices are supported: (to be updated)
- Sony Xperia ZR stock 4.3 ROM
- Sony Xperia V stock 4.3 ROM
- Sony Xperia ZL stock based custom ROM/eXistenZ
- Sony Xperia SP ExistenZ 3.3.0
- Sony Xperia T
- Sony Xperia M dual stock 4.2.2 ROM
- Sony Xperia Z1 4.4 ihackers 4.1
- Sony Xperia Z1 Compact stock KK ROM
- Sony Xperia Z stock 4.3 ROM
- Nexus 5 stock 4.4.2
- Nexus 7 (2013) stock 4.4.2
- MUCH i5s
- Moto G stock 4.4.2 ROM
- Moto X stock 4.4.2 ROM
- Samsung Galaxy Lollipop or older devices (you need to set qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.prop to enable Navbar)
- Samsung Galaxy Marshmallow or higher devices
- Sony Xperia X series devices Marshmallow ROM
Credits
I used this guide to help me develop this module. This document is outdated but the concept is still the same.
Huge thanks to atticus182 for his great work of Softkey collection

Thanks to C3C076 for his wonderful GravityBox! This module uses some of his codes for search button actions.
Supports & troubleshooting
If you're using Android 6 and are unable to see folders when importing image files for user define theme, you need to grant Storage permission in App settings.
If you find that this module doesn't work on your device and see FC repeatedly and both notification and navigation bar disappeared, don't panic! Just run Xposed Installer, disable this module and reboot.
If you want me to add support for your device, please send me the following:
- Xposed log file
- Your device model
- Android and ROM version
- Deodexed /system/app/SystemUI.apk or you can send me a link for the ROM
** CM ROM is not supported because it has its own implementation of NavBar **
Source code
You can find source code for this module from GitHub here.
Download
Xposed Module Repository | Play Store23Instructions to use user define button image:
- Prepare your own buttons images in PNG format. Name the files using the following format. You don't need to prepare all of them. Stock image will be used if a user define version is not found.
- Copy the files into your internal sd storage. Any folder under the internal sd storage is fine. Very often, you can access this using the path /sdcard/.
- In Select theme screen, there's now a new theme called User define
- If this is the first time you select User define, then you should see a list of folders in your internal sd storage. Otherwise, you should see a new button called Import button images
- Navigate to the folder where you've stored the images
- If successfully detected, it should shows the number of image files found
- Tap Confirm button
- The module will copy the files into it's own cache folder so your copy can safely be deleted now
- Restart SystemUI or reboot to take effect

Currently, the buttons are evenly spaced among the available width of the navbar.
For example, if your device is 720px and you choose to have 5 buttons. Then each button will occupy 144px.
I plan to add 2 options: left and right margins.
Using the above example, if now you choose to have 50px for left and right margin, then the spacing will become:
[space 50px] + [button 1 124px] + [button 2 124px] + [button 3 124px] + [button 4 124px] + [button 5 124px] + [space 50px]
The effect is the buttons are closer together with more space on the left and right sides.
Please let me know what do you think about this implementation.3Love thus work, many thanks.
Is it possible to have the menu button hide on its own, only show if needed like on the stock?
And would be great if users can adjust the distance between the buttons and the size.
Great work,
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Not sure about the menu button hide because that needs considerable change in the module. Anyway I can take a look.
Spacing between buttons will be added in next release. You cannot just change the size of the button because the image will be unfit. I also plan to allow user to select button image and I believe that's a better option.
