[MOD] On-Screen Navigation Bar

[bamabamboogy02]

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm on the newer 4.4 or because I have Gravity box install be the 4.4 zip bricks my phone.

Did you make an xposed module for KK?

I made an xposed module that will do it.

Here you guys go:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wjyh62fckhqi2jc/com.geekmod.shownav3_1.apk

Also, you can rename /system/lib/hw/ lights.msm8960.so to lights.msm8960.so.bak to disable the lights on the factory keys if you want to.

Has anybody tried this on a 4.4 rom and it worked?

Thanks so much for this. I dropped my phone last night and shattered the screen. Somehow it messed up my hardware buttons on the bottom and made them go haywire. This completely fixed it and makes my phone usable until i get it repaired!

Hey just dl the files and follow the readme. Note the small correction in post 2 in order to ensure a speedy install. Lastly, I did this with my phone powered up normally. I wasnt having any luck doing it in recovery

 

[mrwinkle]

oh ok just realized the readme file was in the first zip. I was just downloading the kk version

Here is a flashable zip (tested and working this time, I promise ) using the 4.4.4 framework. I have also included a revert zip as well to go back to stock settings. I can confirm it works in TWRP, but it should work in other recoveries as well.

This is only for stock 4.4.4 (21.11.21) on Droid Ultra/Maxx. It should fail to flash if attempted on the wrong build, but better safe than sorry.

@TheWhiteChallenger - feel free to use the update zip for future versions, just swap out the files inside for the revised ones using 7zip and you don't even need to re-zip anything. Also, pull out the updater-script and edit it to credit yourself as well. It can be found at META-INF\com\google\android inside the zip file.

Would this work on the Droid Mini or is the framework diff?

I don't know how different the mini is from the ultra and maxx. If it's the same system version it should be fine. Otherwise, if you could upload the framework-res.apk file from /system/framework/ someone could compare it to the one from the ultra. I am away from home until mid next week so I can't do anything until then.

I will decompile both and see. I liked using Geeks module for this but am unsure if it works with 4.4 update?

I don't have this device but it seems to be pretty straight forward...

Show Navigation bar

Using Apktool, decompile:

framework-res.apk

Navigate to:

framework-res.apk > res > values > bools.xml

Open with Notepad++ and look for: Line 71

<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">[COLOR="Red"]false[/COLOR]</bool>

Change:

>[COLOR="red"]false[/COLOR]<

To

>[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]true[/COLOR]<

Save, recompile & flash

cool beans i remember it being real simple to do i just im not setup anymore for decompiling and recompiling, what r people using APKtool still? i remember having some issuse with it when 4.4 came out, it became kinda hit and miss.

oh what is being used for deodexing 4.4+? that was really giving me issues with Universal Deodexer V4

 

[Archangel]

Apktool 2.0 is what I am using right now and havent had any problems. As far as deodexing I use tickle my android and it hasnt let me down yet.
