Click here to view the booting of android on HTC Touch Elfin during the HTC Hero Launch event in Singapore with the CodeAndroid.org team.
- Running of 0.4pre3 (Updating that soon)
In Short, this project is about porting Google's Android OS (Which is running under Linux) into our devices.
This project is still in BETA, and there are many features not available yet.
We believe that we will move from strength to strength.
This thread is originated from the Linwizard, Now What? thread. As we found a new goal, we decided a new page is necessary.

How this works?
Windows Mobile runs on your concurrent phone, so when Android is being boot up on the device, it will actually 'kick off' the RAM working concurrently on Windows Mobile and use the entire RAM for linux itself.
After soft-reseting, everything will go back to normal.

How to get started with Wing Linux?
- Backup your SD Card and Phone before doing anything!
We have a few cases with wiped out data, better do it, guys!
1) Go to the Wing Linux's Website
2) Get Wing Linux's 0.4.2 (here)
3) Get our very own HTC Elf/Elfin Cab (Dont Worry, what you press on the phone will be what you get!)
4) Install both Wing Linux 0.4.2 cab and the Elf cab in your storage card (So make sure you have at least 512mb free storage space in your memory card)
How to get Google Android started?
1) After installing the cab as mentioned above, go to programs, and start Wing Linux
2) Press run!
3) After seeing 20000++ lines of code, you will reach an install screen (which is blue in colour)
4) You will take sometime there as our phones do not have a physical keyboard. So wait for it to install.
5) After that, the calibration utility will start, make sure you tap the right corners of the screen (The calibration process is only ONCE, so once you click the wrong corners, good luck, we need more steps to get it back working!)
6) Android will start loading and you are ready to get blasted!
Key Commands!
Green button - Back
Red button - End Call
Center (joystick) - Menu
Up (joystick) - Up
Down (joystick) - Down
Left (joystick) - Left
Right (joystick) - Right
Camera - Back
Sound Up - Volume Up
Sound Down - Volume Down
How to copy files / install apps into Android using Windows
1) Install this 'Ethernet Gadget' Drivers (In order to let the phone talk to the PC)
- It works for both Windows XP and Vista (There will be prompts here and there)
- Settings for network card
ip: 10.100.0.2
mask: 255.255.0.0
2) Download WinSCP
3) Install em!
4) Key in the following settings into WinSCP:
- Server: 10.100.0.1
- Username: root
- Password: wing
5) To install Google Android Apps
- Make sure to download the app first!
6) Put the .apks to /system/app/directory through WinSCP
- (ex: scp xxx.apk [email protected]:/system/data/)
7) Done! It will show up in the application list!

QNA
Q: Which Device Can Run This?
A: A GSM HTC Touch / It works for both Elf and Elfin (Yay!)
If you use a CDMA version of HTC Touch, please go to your Vogue forum.
Q: Is my phone Elf or Elfin?
A: Go to Start > Settings > System > Device Information > Hardware tab, if the 'RAM size' shows 64MB it's an Elf, if it shows 128MB for RAM and 256MB for Flash then it's the Elfin. (This doesn't matter as Wing Linux is able to run on both, just added this question for reference only)
Q: How big is this thing?
A: It is about 300mb (Estimated), as the image is already 250mb.
Q: My phone cant connect to the network
A: Please switch off the Sim Password on your phone using Windows Mobile first before coming into Android.
Q: How to get Data (GPRS) working on your device
A: Go to your settings menu in Android and change your APN options, you can get that from your carrier.
Q: How to re-calibrate the screen?
A: Go to storage card, than go this folder called 'linux', than open default.txt. Look for the line that says "set CMDLINE", add "reset_ts" to it.
Remember to remove that once you're satisfied with the calibration.
(If Microsoft Word asks you to save it in their format, always say no)
Q: If I am using the Herald Cab and running on the outdated 0.4pre3, how can I get the correct key mappings?
A: See here
Q: I have some questions about Android
A: Post it here and I should be able to respond as I am using an Android phone at the moment.
Q: I have more questions ...
A: Post it here and someone kind will be able to respond. Do not PM me. Thanks
Q: I wish the hang out and chat about Wing Linux on the net in real time.
A: Join us on the IRC: #wing-linux on freenode.org

whoa! this is coool man. thankx for sharing...m gonna run android on me phone...that is COOOL
It's a real Android OS? What's with WM? And how is the speed on the Elf?
oh yeah!!!
now im booting elfdroid with the correct keymaping( thanks a lot jeremy)
thumbs up to you!!!
very tidy post...
and developers, thanks a lot...
now im gonna play with my elfdroid...
on question?
there is microsd card support?
and camera support?
why dont you make a list of the full features of the elf/in and which one works in the current project?
it will be great!!!!
lets calibrate the screen...
...
and i think that this android its a battery eater...
thanks to everybody!!!
ok so i have been following this:
2) Rename the downloaded file to zImage and copy it to /Storage Card/linux
3) Modify your default.txt to have an MTYPE of 2372
4) Delete your rootfs.img file to force the installer to re-run (and to clean away any custom qwerty.kl files you may have)
5) Boot into Wing Linux and let the installer run
6) Your Key Mappings is up to date and you do not need to modify it anymore!
i get into android but keys arent mapped...
any clue?
thanks in advance!
Tried to install but it seems to be hanging in an htcharald login: screen where nothing happens. When i push some buttons some letters appear but there is no key to accept apparently. Using ELF for this. Also there are multiple cabs in the Wing Linux package, one big one and a couple of smaller ones that all seem to be the same thing (if you install them they will keep telling you that they will uninstall the old version before installing.)
Any tips?
instal first the big cab and then th e herlad one...
after that donload the zimge-elf and change its name to overwritte the original...
then you have reach as far as me... you can run android, just wait
BECAUSE THE FIST LOADING IS AS SLOW AS BALLS...
good luck!
it looks great, many thx
To Hordo:
I installed wing-linux-0.4pre3-rootfs.cab and then only wing-linux-0.4pre3-herald.cab from second link.
Now copy zImage for functional keyboard and Go testing.
Many THX

Hey does anyone knows how to make the phone vibrate? I know we haven't got sound working yet but how about it to vibrate?
Sorry for my few posts asking this question but I nobody seems to have the answer
EDIT: I now have a problem with messaging, when I try opening messaging program, a window appears saying something with ONLY a button to Force close, bud I hadn't time to read :S Anybody got an idea? (I worked before I receive a SMS and sent one yesterday, but today, I couldn't get it working after several reboots)
try to read before asking things that are well documented
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/wiki/Status
I've read it but it still doesn't give me an answer! I'm not talking about sound but about PHONE TO VIBRATE when receiving a SMS (and I received a SMS and set phone to vibrate so I don't see the reason why it doesn't =/)

no, because the sound is not working yet, and it might be a long time before it works.

you dont lose your wm by doing this. android must be started from within wm, so u can get ride of it by just deleting the folder.
a soft-reset on the phone will take u back to wm.
great post mate....but I think the author should edit the first post or give a link as to things that arent yet supported on our phone
Thanks...
First of all Thanks a ton, for your post. I was eager to try Andriod OS. I followed your given steps and successfully was able to run Andriod but I am facing some problems, hope you can help. First problem is that my SIM does not have password, but still it says NO NETWORK (didn't remember exact error message), therefore cannot make any calls. Another problem is that when I press the end call button (the RED one) it keeps on showing a verbose view and some scrolling text after every few seconds. Whats the problem and how to rectify it?
Thanks a lot.
what cabs i should install?
1 wing-linux-0.4pre3-gene.cab 1.5 KiB
2 wing-linux-0.4pre3-herald.cab 1.6 KiB

installing #5, then #2 it says "the previous version of Wing-Linux - Board Support will be removed before the new one is installed." and when i click OK, it install but i dont see Wing- linux on programs... is this correct? im getting 1.6kb??????
[ROM Release] glory of Birdyi (Honor) B866-SP02 of the final version released - perfect overclocking does not break the sound
Honor for u8800 huawei. (Final)
After this edition it will not update the glory for U8800, from the earliest release of the first edition of glory to the present time is not short, some small bug has been improved in most of the common test, the rest of the problem may be due to a person different, we try to own solutions.
It is said that the package next week, officials will release a revised version at the end of the phone fumbled and to try to bring the bottom package upgrade, I hope the official will not use other methods to lock the pink screen or as root can not be like the U8800 +, the other a reminder double the TX of the system need to restore the official partition in order to brush the bottom package.
ROM instructions:
CPU default 245 1024 auto-FM (standby power), supports up to 1.2G (methods from the sino-deserter ) to outposting not break the sound, sound normal call.
CPU adjustment method to modify the \ system \ etc enhanced.conf to find MAXFREQ = 1.024 million to modify the maximum, SETCPU invalid, closed the screen will change to enhanced.conf default
The FPS by default does not unlock (Xie run points will be high, but ran sub-clouds), 7 month machine is locked can be modified for the 30 \ system \ etc enhanced.conf find changed VSYNC VSYNC = on = off
(3) the kernel can read and write cust \ cust \ hw \ default \ app non-applet do not want deleted here, but here's something to delete does not delete the mirrored space is the same 65M
So I put the glory of the official wallpaper into them.
4 boot automatically turn off the background light of the four kings key, you need to restore the default delete or rename the \ system \ etc \ init.d under the script closeButtonLight.sh can.
(5) support for dual system, automatic identification of the current system and the corresponding brush into the
(6) automatic powder brush after screen crack, thank knight king
I joined a few small programs, are pure ad-free version \ cust \ hw \ default \ app under
dualmountsd.apk----- SD card double mounted set convenient to take the computer to transmit data
PhoneArea.apk-------- compact calls attribution, do not take up memory
RealCalc.apk----------- advanced calculator that comes with BUG, some operator error
RootExplorer.apk----- RE Manager Needless to say,
TitaniumBackup.apk---- titanium backup, and not have to say
SpeedViewPro.apk-- GPS assisted positioning and compass tool, said compass activation method: open the SpeedView point above the compass as ruler of the region to adjust the phone over his head screen in the air, began to draw the two 8-word, and then hand down the screen towards the face painting two 8-word, see the pointer move on the correction.
Inconsequential will not say more ... the style of the ROM with the glory exactly the same, support the HDR camera Task Manager and other Huawei network disk cloud push the program needs to http://115.com/file/anf4j14z # Download and unpack the installation
BUG: bring their own portable hotspot can not be used (ie, can not simulate the native signal into a wifi available to other computers or mobile Internet)
Brush Description:

http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-4872872-1-2.html
I am using Chrome to transelate.
it would be nice to publish the low sound fix (as it's kernel related).
After some testing this feels really good. Rom doesn't have speaker problems anymore and everything seems to be working. I haven't tested call voice level yet... And kernel can be overclocked but there isn't smarass2 or minmax, only normal covernors.
Can someone please post a mirror? Or at least instruction how to download fom the site...

Kernel seems to work fine with official 2.3.5, can overclock and in call voice level is normal...
Is there any way to install this kernel over standard CM7 as a flashable zip?
found new bug. It seems search button works like power button... whit this rom battery last at least 24h wich is enough for me. I think I will stick with this one until dzo's 4.03 rom is stable.

Hello, I'm asking if anyone can help me to find an application that enables automatic call recording (both outgoing & incoming calls)
because I've had that application installed within my previous roms (WajkIUI &MoKeeOS ) and i had no problems with it..it was recording all the calls smoothly without any troubles.
but now i have installed a new rom (CyanogenMod 7.2.0RC1-Defy-KANG Build Num:GWK74 , Android Ver:2.3.7) which is a great rom and amazingly fast without any problems at all...except for the automatic call recording ! which is making me hate the device..so i searched alot for a program that doesn't have any problems but each application i find has many bugs n problems
so please help me with this and tell me where can i find this application ?
the second question is with the Market application...which isn't also in this rom and i downloaded (Market-3.3.11) and when i try to open it from the device is closes without any errors..just disappears , i tried restarting the device and also installed it over and over again,,but the same thing happens!
My device is Motorola Defy
Please help me out...and thanks alot
Have a great day
Guys ??? hello ??

You have to install gapps. Google it and download one with gb in the name. Then flash it in CWM recovery (push vol-down with the blue led,... )

CallRecorder worked for me without altering any settings - recorded all calls (both direct calls through phone and via bluetooth). That was on CM7.2 Kang Cherry Picks ROM with the call recorder zip file installed from recovery (as the UK model doesn't have them).
I've taken it off though for the time being as the battery drain seemed to be significantly affected. Will pop it back on if I need to record a specific call.

For the recorder app:
https://market.android.com/search?q=CallRecorder&c=apps
Most(if not all) of them will work.
out of all callrecorders which one is free and will work on defy which is non root and stock SEA15 ?
You can try Total Recall from Android Market. I used it for some and worked nice.
I am using the Call Recorder PRO by ERA Ltda, is inexpensive and is working in ICS.
It only changes to "Voice Uplink" recording mode.

i saw a lot people having a lot of small problems i think when they try to move to 5.x !
so in this thread i'll be typing the problems that i saw ....and you can type your problems to help you with it and other members to share what they have got
1-p:i flashed latest tangerine kernel v2.3 but my base-band is gone....
fixed :laugh:
2-p:i flashed the x.x ROM and now i have cyanogen recovery ...and i can't flash tangerine kernel from it and i want(twrp-philz)
solution: don't worry just flash the tangerine.elf via fastboot on your phone and everything is good to go !! you can search for flashing via fastboot and if you can't understand i'm here to help
method2: thanks for @OsGhaly for uploading TWRP & PhilZ imgs .....just flash them with rasher if you want or any app that can do that to download them here (download philz from here )
p.s: try after you flash the ROM to flash the t-kernel so you don't get in this problem again
3-p:i wanna try RRM2P and i want a transparent bar ( too old to flash this ROM )
solution:method 1 thanks to @Dark Passenger there is a toggle in setting --> performance--> enable high end gfx reboot ......................method2: thanks to i don't how !! he give a line to add in build.prop ....how to add this line in build.prop? ,it's easy just install kernel auditor open it, swipe the screen to right, choose edit build.prop and type (persist.sys.force_highendgfx) this in the first line
and (true) in the second line and reboot and enjoy
4-p: i tried the RRM2 and when i exit from recovery and press install su i reboot and i still got no root access ( too old to flash this ROM )
solution: just Google for latest su.zip for lollipop and flash it (i had this problem and it worked with flashing the su.zip) :silly:
5-p: you have touch issues ?
solution:you can try the "Glove Xperia" in case u have touch issues it's available on google play
6-p: i'm facing lagg in some apps after using the ROM for 2-3 days...what should i do?
solution:you can install greenify and greenify apps and system apps too this will help.....if your 5.1.1 support t-kernel(actually all of them support the t-kernel "just the dirty unicorns don's support it!!") you can flash the t-kernel and install app that can modify your cpu settings (like kernel auditor) and edit your cpu settings to get the best out of the phone and to put what suits you .
7-p:the sound on lollipop sound a little bit low what can i do
solution:just flash t-kernel ,,install kernel auditor,,open it,,,swipe the screen to the right,,choose the sound option and increase your speaker gain to (4-6) and you are good to go
method 2: flash viper4android i think for now all 5.1 ROMs are working with viper4android
8-p: i have problem with voice in calls so what should i do?
solution: simply just try to flash the call fix from here and you're good to go(remember flash 5.1 fix for 5.1 ...5.0 fix for 5.0 )
9-p: i don't have a root accesses after flashing the ROM
solution:go to settings>about phone>tap build number like 8-10 times>>go back to settings>> enter devs option >find the root accesses option and put it to apps and adb
10-p:my phone can't go in deep sleep ?!
disable play services location and wake up settings and see what are the apps causing this ...cuz it's absolutely an app action that is preventing phone from getting into deep sleep\try blocking apps that uses play services for location.....
11-p:the adway app is not working anymore
go to system/etc via root explorer....and delete all the files named(host.something) and only keep hosts...re-run the app and activate it and then reboot and you are good to go :fingers-crossed:
12-p: i can't put a lock screen wallpaper on 5.x ROMs?!
just download this app and you will have the ability to change it
13-p: phone laggs alot when taking a phone call on AICP ROM(you can try this on other 5.1 ROMs)
Turn on your heads up notify on and set time tot max.
GO:
-Settings
-AICP Extras
- Heads up notifications (Turn it on)
- and in Time Out set the max (never)
14-p:the FM transmitter have a small range without the headphones and i can't use the app when i plugged it in
Take your standard headphones or whatever you call it and plug it into the 3.5 mm jack halfway so that the phone doesn't recognize the headphones Then transmitter range will be better for sure
15-p: i don't know how to install the xposed on my phone (credits go to @prangr8 )
Download xposed-sdk22-arm-2015.zip from here!
16-p: my phone in a bootloop and in the recovery can't wipe anything and even if i flashed a ROM that didn't help ..recovery can't mount data and i'm stuck at that point
simply wipe everything (even if it says error) then flash this recoveries_SP_4.4.1_signed.zip - 10.62 MB (thanks to @dssmex ) via your recovery and then reboot It will say no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?
Still reboot. If it wants to install supersu let it install and then reboot and go to recovery and re-flash the ROM it will work,,,,(thanks to @prangr8 )

Hi please dont promote this method there is a toggle in setting --> performance--> enable high end gfx (still need to reboot)
Please use that thnx.
Need solution for these problems...
1) Tried almost 3-4 Lollipop ROMS...But in all ROMS,after installing RAM consuming apps like FB , Messenger , Whatsapp etc..the phone is too much laggy...When an incoming call comes, the ringtone starts ringing,but the dialer opens only after 5-10 seconds..this is too much irritating..I have to wait till the name of the caller comes but the ringtone starts ringing before itself.....I know this problem is due to over consumption of RAM,but looking for an way to get away from this problem
2) Next important one is audio... In all the lollipop roms, the sound of the loudspeaker sounds like a third class chinese phone..too much noise and no clarity at all..Need an immediate solution for this audio problem. (already tried the sound settings in kernel adiutor like u said in the main post but still too much of noise)

1- like i said in the op the greenify app will help to reduce the consumption of RAM (try to greenify FB and messenger) and put cpu settings to smartassv2 that will be good ....and by the way i only had this problem when i installed RRM2 ..just in the first day but after greenify and kernel auditor nothing happened to me (on vanir and cm12.1 i didn't face like this problem)
2- this is the only way i think to make the volume up ....but i really didn't get noise on my phone ...you put it between 4-6 right? cuz higher that than that music will be noisy for sure
good luck :good:
flash- said:
7-p:the sound on lollipop sound a little bit low what can i do
solution:just flash t-kernel ,,install kernel auditor,,open it,,,swipe the screen to the right,,choose the sound option and increase your speaker gain to (4-6) and you are good to go

Or alternatively install Viper4Android and adjust from there. I think you can add that

that's right but faux sound is more safe than the viper4android cuz you can't make sure it won't give you a bootloop on all the ROMs but faux sound can run on all of them cuz it's a kernel customization
This doubt is not regarding Lollipop..This is a general doubt...
During over RAM usage,some apps are automatically closed right..? But still however less the Free RAM is,some system apps are never closed.
I want messenger to never be closed at any situation. What should I do..?

Yes...but every time I lock my phone and unlock it after some time and open messenger app,it starts to reconnect although my internet was always on...
And if I lock my phone, my "online" status gets into "offline"...In messenger, I want my status to be "online" all the time.. (My phone's internet is always on)

No bro...never stayed online when the screen is off..
But asking whether there is a way to do that by keeping messenger always open in background..(like how the phone services are always on)

no,, there is nothing like that i think it's about phone managing your apps and the management of RAM..so there is no way to do that as far as i know

And about headphones? I have traditional samsung headphones and the music and volume don't change with the buttons, when the screen is on, the button works like a "mouse left button" to select an icon....
some suggestions?

I found that CM12.1.1 by Marcelo is the only ROM -so far- that headphone's buttons are working as they should with it

it's not something that you can solve with an app it think my friend (it's from the ROMs ) but like @OsGhaly said you can flash cm12.1 if you need this thing too work so much
good luck :good:

thanks ... I guess then I will sacrifice this function
your headphones work with other ROMs or this is an Lollopop ROM's issue
This should be in the development section but I don't have the required amount of posts so I put it here, no worries...
Disclaimer
Your phone your responsability!!!
Please make sure you read everything, especially the "IMPORTANT" chapter, I won't reply to question(s) whose answer(s) is/are here!!!
I made a SystemUI navigation bar mod for me and I thought that some people may like it so I share it here with you guys.
It enables you to add extra keys (left/right/up/down arrows for text correction or navigation on pages, volume up/down, music panel) directly from the navbar tuner settings.
I have seen on XDA news that you can achieve the same result by editing the settings_secure file but it's not very practical because every time you have to reboot before the new key appears.
REQUIREMENTS
A Nexus 6 (obviously):cyclops:
TWRP
Android Nougat 7.0
IT WON'T WORK ON 7.1!!!
FOR 7.1 SEE BELOW.
IMPORTANT!!! DO NOT SKIP!!!
I made this mod for my ROM that I built from source based on Pure Nexus 7.0, so I can't guarantee that it'll work on a different ROM brand.
If you come from another ROM than Pure Nexus feel free to try and report here, I made a rescue zip to get you back to your original configuration in case it doesn't work so you don't need to worry.
But back up anyway, just in case.
Now we may a problem, that is application signature.
As said above I'm on a home built ROM, and I have signed it with my signature, signature that is unique to my ROM and that will prevent installations on a different ROM.
What I did to have it to work for you guys is that I signed the apps that I put here with the Pure Nexus 7.0 original signature, that should be OK if you are on Pure Nexus 7.0.
If you are on a different ROM, or if you are on Pure Nexus 7.0 but for some reasons it doesn't work, you'll have to do as follows:
- extract your SystemUI.apk in /system/priv-app and put it on your internal storage or computer,
- open it with 7zip or something similar,
- inside you'll see a META-INF folder and AndroidMAnifest.xml, extract them,
- open my modded SystemUI,
- delete the META-INF folder and AndroidMAnifest.xml inside of it and replace them with the ones you extracted from your SystemUI,
- close everything,
- zipalign my modded SystemUI (optional but better for optimization, zipaligning has been lost since the signature has been replaced),
- now my SystemUI has your signature so you can flash the zip.
If it still doesn't work then you're out of luck, to have it to work would mean to have your ROM's source and do the edits there but sorry, I won't do it because it's too much work (downloading 20 GBs of data for the source, compiling a whole ROM etc...).
In that case upload your SystemUI.apk and your framework-res.apk here and I'll try to do it, but no guarantees...
7.1
Why am I not on 7.1?
I tried it but there wasn't any interesting new features for me so there was no point to switch to it and go again through the lenghty process of downloading the source, compiling it, editing/theming/etc-ing all the apps, no, I sticked to my good old 7.0.
INSTALLATION
There are 3 zips.
1 - The green theme is the one I use on my phone but it may look weird on yours since the green theming needs other apps to be complete. Give it a try though, it looks nice to my opinion!
Tell me if you want the full green theme, I'll upload here the other files.
2 - The stock theme is the regular Nougat white theme.
3 - A rescue zip to get back to your original SystemUI in case something goes wrong.
Backup your ROM (probably not needed, but just in case)
Choose which flashable zip you want, put it on your phone, flash it in recovery, reboot.
You may have to resize the keys if you want to have many of them on the nav bar, as for me I have 9, check the below screenshot to see what's the ideal size to have all of them to fit.
OTHER KEYS
If you want to try other keys do as follows:
- find the key code number for key you want to add, here are some examples (not tested so not sure they all work):
CALL = 5
ENDCALL = 6
DPAD_CENTER = 23
CAMERA = 27
* Used to launch a browser application:
EXPLORER = 64
* Used to launch a mail application:
ENVELOPE = 65
NOTIFICATION = 83
SEARCH
MEDIA_REWIND = 89
MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD = 90
MUTE = 91
PAGE_UP = 92
PAGE_DOWN = 93
MEDIA_RECORD = 130
CONTACTS = 207
CALENDAR = 208
MUSIC = 209
CALCULATOR = 210
CUT = 277
COPY = 278
PASTE = 279
- open settings_secure (it's in /data/system/users/0),
- edit the sysui_nav_bar field, here's an example if you want to add a camera icon:
key(27:file:///storage/emulated/0/camera.png)
27 is the key code for the camera, camera.png is a camera icon that you'll have to put on your internal storage,
- reboot,
- please report here if it works or not.
The new keys can be used in conjunction with tasker (see XDA news for the related tutorials) to only appear when certain apps are opened but if you want I can add them to the list of available keys in the nav bar tuner, let me know.
TO DO (NO ETA)
I'd like to add a custom key to launch the applications drawer but I didn't look into it yet and I don't know if I'll manage to do it anytime soon, I'm pretty busy at the moment.
That's all, enjoy!!!:good:

reserved, in case...
you can do the same with last stock 7.1.1 firmware without having to root, or install twrp or unlock the bootloader or whatever...
you just have yo use this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner
it needs a special permission but changes take effect immediately, no need to reboot
my settings for exemple :
left button switches off the screen and right button launches Google app.
Yeah well you know, there are different kind of people on this forum.
Some of them don't want to bother and understand how things work so they rely on apps to do customizations, theming etc. (and sometimes complain that their phone becomes unresponsive, lags and stuff, yep, too many apps), you seem to be in that category.
Other people don't understand how things work but they are willy to learn and they may be interested by this mod because they will learn something in the process. It's for them that I took the time to make the zips, register on XDA, write the OP and upload the files, and that I offered to try to make it work on 7.1.
That said today I added the assist key in the nav bar, but since nobody seems to be interested I won't waste time to upload the new apps here.
Farewell guys!!!!
take it easy man !
I like to know how things work, I understand what I'm doing and I'm not complaining about anything !
My Nexus 6 runs like a charm.
I wasn't saying that your post isn't interesting but just giving the information that there's a simplest way to personalise nav bar that works with stock 7.1.1 firmware.
?
