I've been working for a while on how to get any softkeys I wanted on my G4. It is posible to do so with xposed modules like xstana or nexus navbar but these have built-in navbars and if you don't like them you're stuck. I loved softkeyZ because you could use any png file not only pre-made icons. I usually used Photoshop touch on my Z3 to mod my navbar icons and apply them with softkeyZ. Unfortunately this app doesn't work eith the G4. But let's fix that. This method makes you get basically any png file as your navbar softkeys meaning you can grab any themes' softkeys and just apply.

Prerequisite

-Root and Xposed framework
-Xstana prime
-Softkeys of your choice


Tutorial

# If you have xtstana prime it is easy use the personalized feature and choose your png from your gallery and not android's default document picker.See attachment 1-3. Choose scale type to be cetre crop or fill from the settings icon after this.And you're done

1.If you don't have softkeys download softkeyZ and open it then check the folder the app created on your internal storage for png files. You can also find any softkey online or ask a theme developer or diy.
2.Resize them following attachment 4-5 .Normally the deault size should be 144x144. You need to increase it to 192x192 or more not less.
3.Your icons may not look crisp again if your only increase the size of the image. Use the Bevel feature like in attachment 9 .
4.Save and then extract the icons to your gallery the follow # above to apply them.


Hope I helped please! Hit thanks if you appreciate:good::highfive:
