What does it do?
Changes the Glow Effect when you press the on-screen button.

Description
This mod change only the Softkey's Glow Effect. everything else is left untouched, so you won't lose any previously installed mods. Should work on rooted deodexed JellyBean ROM, including AOSP, CM10, virtually anything (for gnex of course) and should be fine with any dpi.

Always make a backup before proceeding!

TO MAKE THIS MOD MORE WIDELY COMPATIBLE WITH MORE ROMS I RECOMMEND TO USE THE ZIPTHEMER VERSION

Instruction (ZipThemer)
Requires: Flashable .zip of the ROM that you currently use (Must be on your SDCARD)
1. Download 'ZipThemer' app from play store
2. Download the ZipThemer version of my mods
3. Open the app, click on the menu button, then press 'Update Edify'
4. Click 'Browse' then navigate to the flashable .zip of the ROM that you have on the SDCARD
5. Click 'Configure' (small toast message will appear that says 'Success')
6. Go back to the main screen, click on '+Theme'
7. Navigate to my mods that you have downloaded earlier from step 2
8. Then click on the 'Build It!' button. it will then prompt if you want to make an undo file, just press ok just in case.
9. It will build the flashable .zip. when done it will show the Build Log, showing where the flashable zip located.
10. Boot to recovery and flash the rebuilted .zip
11. Profit

Instruction (Flashable .zip)
1. Download the Flashable .Zip version of my mod
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Flash .zip
4. Reboot
5. Profit

For Theme Chooser User
Use this instructions below to install the mods on top of the Theme Chooser Theme (as the guide above only change the default system theme)

Requires: Flashable .zip of the ROM that you currently use (Must be on your SDCARD)
1. First and foremost, Copy the theme from data/app to system/app (if you havent install the theme just copy it to system/app)
2. Rename the copied theme to tc-modded.apk (to simplified the installation of my mods)
3. Uninstall the theme from user apps (for those who havent installed the theme you may skip this step)
4. Reinstall the renamed theme in system/app
5. Download the Zip Themer for Theme Chooser of my mods
6. Open the app, click on the menu button, then press 'Update Edify'
7. Click 'Browse' then navigate to the flashable .zip of the ROM that you have on the SDCARD
8. Click 'Configure' (small toast message will appear that says 'Success')
9. Go back to the main screen, click on '+Theme'
10. Navigate to my mods that you have downloaded earlier from step 5
11. Then click on the 'Build It!' button. it will then prompt if you want to make an undo file, just press ok just in case.
12. It will build the flashable .zip. when done it will show the Build Log, showing where the flashable zip located.
13. Boot to recovery and flash the rebuilted .zip
14. Reboot
15. Choose the modified Theme Chooser Theme
16. Profit

Note: To restore the default Theme Chooser mods, simply reboot to recovery and flash the Undo file. The theme will go back to its default state

Doesn't work? Read advanced instructions below..

1. Extract the downloaded file
2. Navigate to \vrtheme\system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi
3. There you'll find ic_sysbar_highlight.png and ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png those are the modded softkey background, keep it open in your explorer.
4. Now extract SystemUI.apk from your phone (using adb, or copy it manually using root explorer) and put it on your desktop
5. Open the extracted SystemUI.apk using winrar and navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi
6. Replace both the stock ic_sysbar_highlight.png and ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png with the one from Step 3 (drag and drop, and press ok)
7. Push your SystemUI.apk back to your phone and reboot

Side Note
- If it keeps loading at 'Starting Apps' just wait for it
- On select ROM with costumizable navigation bar, if it had an option to change the glow color it will overrides the default one, but you cant change back to default color that comes with it
Workaround by setting Navigation Glow Color in ROM Control to #0000000 (transparent)

It doesn't broke mine, and it shouldn't.. the mod only change the .png inside systemui, nothing else..
You could try to reflash it again then wipe cache/dalvik..

If it's still not working perhaps you might have to replace it manually.. open the SystemUI.apk using winrar, navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi and replace both navbar highlight .pngs with the one inside my mods..
If this doesn't work nothing will do..
Perhaps a more experienced themer could advice?

If you look inside my flashable zip It's in vrtheme/system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
Look for ic_sysbar_highlight.png and ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png those are the navbar background effects that i change..
There you can extract the pngs and put it inside your SystemUI.apk manually..
I'm sure this is the most foolproof way of doing it..

Really should use ZipThemer for this mod. Vr theme makes extra drawable folders in your system apps. Not cool. That's why I stopped using it for my themes.

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
