Yes.
Get the ROM, find for framework-res.apk, decompile it, grab the navbar pngs, transfer it to your phone, get an app called softkeyz from the themes and app section and apply it.
Wallpaper should be in framework-res too.

What will happen if I will replace the entire framework-res.apk ?
It will likely boot loop as many of the dependencies from the paranoid framework won't be in the other one

Hey guys how do i resize CM nav bar?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Theres no actual option in the rom, but you could check out this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38102614&postcount=25
I would make nandroid before flashing it just in case
Nandroid whats that? Ohh and i checked the forum out but it wasn't helpful any other forums?

Nandroid is the backup you make through recovery
Okay. Well i have searched around several times and i can't seem to fine anything that on resizing CMs nav bar.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You can't change it from within CM, but you can flash different mods in recovery (like the one posted above) to change it manually.
Ill be honest if You dont know what a nandroid is you may want to take some time and do some basic research before you end up bricking your phone. Messing with the OS of a device is NOT fool proof. Things can go wrong and then you are stuck with a non working device that you cant return.
Ok just learned what nandroid is and so i guess the next step is to nandroid backup my phone and then flash the mod from the link right?

Yep. And if something goes wrong after flashing the mod (systemui crashing, bootloop, etc) just restore the nandroid.

You probably didnt do anything wrong, its just that the mod didnt work lol.
Try out this tutorial. It should work, but its a bit of work.
These are the lines that you have to change:
Code:
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">[COLOR="Red"]38.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">[COLOR="red"]38.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">[COLOR="red"]38.0[/COLOR]dip</dimen>

That's odd. It was just working fine...and now it says account suspended .
Anyways this is basically what you have to do(may require some other searching):
-navigate to system/framework and copy the framework-res.apk to your computer
-decompile framework-res.apk
-in the decompiled folder navigate to /res/values/ and open the file named dimens.xml in a text editor
-edit the lines that I posted above to your liking
-recompile framework-res.apk and push it back to the phone. Also make sure the permissions are set to rw-r-r

Sorry typo, by the way thx for all your help so far. I have edited my framework nav bar to 36 but i dont know how to replace my original framework.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
you should try a rom with more control built in like aokp, slim, or pa if you want to change stuff more and dont quite know how to mod system files correctly
anyway, heres what i found with a quick google: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159270
its pretty complicated but the instructions are clear

-Make a nandroid backup just in case
-Download an root file manager. I would recommend root explorer (paid), but there are other free ones like es file explorer.
-Copy the framework-res.apk from your computer to your phone. (just use the usb cable and transfer it over using MTP)
-Open the root file manager and copy the framework-res.apk from where you put it
-Navigate to system/framework and rename the existing framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak
-Paste the new framework-res.apk
-Long press the new framework-res.apk and go to permissions and change them to rw-r-r
-reboot
yep I do that but as soon as I get done renaming framework.apk.bak the phone restarts and goes into boot loop.
I reflash CM10.1 and nandroid backup and everything is fine again. then I tryed just replacing framework but same thing happens.
ohh and mbucks911 the reason why I dont use AOKP is becasue my battery life with AOKP is terrible it causes my phone to run at around 38c which is warm enough to make my hands sweat and my battery drains 10% for every 10mins my screen is on. when I use CM my phone barely gets over 30c and operates around 27c for every and 10% of my battery thats almost 2 hours of sot thats why i am trying to stick with CM.

Try using adb to push it.
Code:
adb remount

Well I Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2251719 but when I try to open .jar file I don't get classes.dex file.
- Copy *.jar file to apktool folder (make sure is the same folder). for example : android.policy.jar
- Open android.policy.jar using Winrar or 7zip and extract classes.dex file
- Drag & drop classes.dex to Quick-Baksmali.cmd (decompile process)
- wait and you will see a folder with the name "classout"
- now you can start editing smali file on classout folder (use Notepad++ for editing it)
- After editing is complete, Drag & drop classout folder to Quick-Smali.cmd (recompile process)
Solved
FYI I am not an Android DEV, but I have a few suggestions to try
Install or reinstall:
-Android SDK
-Java JDK (Different from the "standard" JDE....)
-.NET Framework? Seems crazy and un likeltly, yet worth looking at as a last resort. Youd be surprised how many things rely on .Net framework... despite it often not being installed on the OS.
PS I know .NET framework is probably WAY off.... yet with the minimal info you offered I figure it is worth a shot.
Any chance you can add a screenshot?

Hi mate...
Few questions if I may...
Why do you think it's not possible to install it like "normal" apk file?
It should work that way...
If it won't install try to resign it.
And yeah....custom themes won't work on non-rooted device, that's for sure.
At least not on Z/ZL/Z1/Z2

First thing mate, I dont have any device with android 4.3/4.4, so didnt test it installing like a normal apk. Secondly it may require superuser mod to install it like a normal apk which also requires root.So i think it may not work..But it may work. I need someone to test it.

Exactly what I said.
Actually we disabled signature check but in services.jar, that's why we are using superuser mod.
That's nothing special, only services.jar
without few lines of code.
But that's not enough.

Sure...I saw that you don't have device on JB/KK - that's why I'm telling you - install like any other app will work.
Haven't tried your theme but it'll work 100%.
It'll require patched services.jar for sure, that's not optional.
Users have to trick system with it so it'll not asking for a keys (for installation)
Anyway...
Keep up good work, it's great to see new themes and apps.
Obviously, we can't rely on manufacturers so it's great to have XDA community...
BTW...I just test it for you...
You can add to OP "install like any other app"

Actually, Sony demands that every theme pass their check and then they, if they approve it, sign it with their own keys.
That's the problem, we don't have that keys...
But at long as we have rootable firmware we could do whatever we want
