[Q] how do you change the color/images of soft keys?

Hey I have the cm10 nightly rom and i was wondering if there was any way to change the color or images of the soft keys to something different.
Thanks in advance!

You can do it by replacing the images in the systemui.apk or might be able to do it through a theme as well.

Pull it to your PC, add a .zip behind it, edit, remove the .zip

This a link for a simple how to! If you want to pull systemui will need a apk tool. You can do search on that. I hope this helps.

One of my favorite guys for all things Android. Should work the same on your nexus 7 as his Galaxy Nexus. Maybe not the Exact same thing but similar concept and a good start.
P.S. you could also just flash aokp and it should be in settings.

Multi users on Nexus 4

I would love to see multi user on the nexus 4..I think it wouldn't be hard since it's already in 4.2... think it would make sense for doing different setups like different launcher, icon packs, theme etc..I wonder if it's just a line or lines of code to turn it on and/ or is any body up for the challenge!!?

Isn't that why we can make backups?

Multi-user support is only available on tablets. Nokia has a patent on multi-user support on phones.
I am sure a build.prop edit can fix it.

That is more for switching ROMs ...not having different setups (launcher, icon packs etc)

Exactly.. doesn't mean we can't figure a way to get it on our phones
Hmm I don't think a build. Prop edit will do it but I'll check

Well its only for tablets, I think the reason for that being tablets are more family and sharing, whereas phones are a personal device. Why would you want to share your phone?

I don't see anything in build.prop specifically disabling multi-user mode. Looks like I was wrong.

Ah I see. I didn't know that. I thought it was a 4.2 thing.. You are right though. I have no need for it on my phone.

Would be nice to have multi-users for testing and demo purposes.

Absolutely! Make an account for me and let me borrow your phone.

Bored, trolling or no way to imagine use cases when multi-users may be handy?
If I want to show something to a client on my Nexus 4 (or any other device) without providing access to my apps and data?
or
If I'm willing to give it to my 3-4 years offspring for a video or a game, without risking my contacts, notes, mails?

This is the only reason I would need it, but it is a good one. If my 5 year old wants to watch a movie or play a game I wouldn't have to worry about her screwing up my home screen or deleting apps like she has been known to do.

I believe Paranoid to be the answer. That's if you don't mind rooting.
Great example above and the most used I'm sure.

Removes some of the limitations of the present 4.2 multi-users' policies.

Question for T-Mobile Users...

Would any user like this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483043 ported to T-Mobile G2? If so may I get a couple of testers?

I'd like to try the Rom but I can't give the time needed to be a tester ATM.
there are people that will help you in the T-Mobile dev threads, I don't know if they watch the general threads

I can test drive it for fun ?

Not to bash Nexus flashoholic but when I had the Nexus I thought the rom selection was comical considering they all looked and felt the same.

Yes I'll test!
Is the recent button baked in?

I don't know if you are familiar with Viper4Android FX, but that would be a great implementation as well if set up and tweaked accordingly. Although I have heard of the Mod and this FX butting heads and not working together. Would be nice to have a link to those who want it if that is not too much trouble. I've been trying to figure out how to get the most optimal loud bluetooth sound with my Jaybird Bluebuds X wireless earbuds. After some effects and modding with my Nexus 4 previously I feel I got a louder sound compared to the LG G2 even after that tweak I linked you. I wonder if it is even possible to get that level of sound out of this device. Thanks for all the hard work for us T-Mobilians! I guess we didnt get left in the dust after all compared to AT&T and Verizon

The ROM is in TMobile section if you guys have not found it...

More Volume steps

I want to know if there is an easy MOD I could flash on my nexus 4 that would add more volume steps to my volume controls.
The volumes steps on this phone are really big. One step is really to low and the next one is blasting my ears.
I searched a lot on this forum and I couldn't find an easy way to do it. I don't want to edit hex files or anything like that. So this is why i'm asking if someone know really easy way to do it. Or if there is a custom rom that does just that.
My nexus 4 is rooted and running the latest crDroid (CM version).
Thanks a lot for your help
