[MOD] Softkeys for 4.0.4 (Four Key and Five Key Layouts)

[open1your1eyes0]

***UPDATE*** Original author is back!! And we have progress: Link
***UPDATE 2*** Worked together with author for testing, refer here for all updates: Link

IMO, these are the best softkeys as they allow you to mod the stock ROM to have 4 keys and enabled long-press on Home for recent apps and long press on Search as well. Basically, the good old layout we all know and love.

Spoke with the author and it appears these have been abandoned. Anyone willing to take on remaking them for 4.0.4?

(Sidenote: Would love to see the Motorola layout one updated M-H-B-S)

[MOD][4.0.2] Softkey and 1% mods

[MOD] AXI0M 2.4 BASED SoftKey & 1% Mods 76 and counting [1/9/12]

I would love to see this as well. I personally would love the HTC layout (H-M-B-S), but the important part is the long-press home for recent apps and long press search for voice search.

I like that to! Very good idea!
So anybody?????
Thanks.

I'd also love search-added softkeys for LTE 4.0.4 as well.

Unfortunately, that does not add the 4th key, neither does it change the key layout or add the abilities of long-press Home and long-press Search. And definitely not something as elaborate as a dedicated Menu key.

I'll put this out there then...if anyone can get 4.0.4 systemui.apk and framework-res.apk to decomp (with what's out there now) pm me...
Because I can not get the only deodex rom to do sh**, nor can I get kitchen to deodex properly
If u can on your setup pm me and I'll make some mods
If u don't know me, search rootzwiki and u will find my mods and know I know what I'm doing so please...no nonsense about..." did u setup akptool or blah blah right..."

The first one you sent me "menuon.zip" which I'm assuming is the same here?
