This is simple guide to add 3-dot menu.
It works on any stock ics or custom rom based on it.
​

To add 3-dot menu:
  1. Decompile your framework-res.apk
  2. Go to values folder
  3. Open bools.xml
  4. Search for
    <bool name="config_showNavigationBar">false</bool>​
    and change it to
    <bool name="config_showNavigationBar">true</bool>​
  5. Save it
  6. Now open dimens.xml
  7. Search for
    navigation_bar_height and navigation_bar_width
    Change dip of both to 0.0
  8. Save it
  9. Recompile your framework-res.apk

To remove 3-dot menu:
  1. Decompile your framework-res.apk
  2. Go to values folder
  3. Open bools.xml
  4. Search for
    <bool name="config_showNavigationBar">true</bool>​
    and change it to

For people having bootloop it isnt problem in framework. It just happens sometimes when you change framework.
So try making flashable zip with your framework

You got it right, no error. That was normal when you have the pngs that have .9 in its name where it has the wrong chunk. Could be because the pngs not compiled as it should before.
You can ignore the message and try to replace that pngs from another framework-res or leave it as is now (withot .9 in its name). :)
