[GUIDE][HOW TO]Add/Reorder buttons in Navigation Bar - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

Since Lollipop we can't simply configure our navigation bar buttons like we could on almost every ROM on kitkat before. Still there is a way to make it. Becouse there is plenty of different ROMs and different ideas how navigation bar should look, I decided to make this guide to help people mod their Nav bars until we get it built in ROM.
1st of all you need some general knowledge about moding stuff in your ROM. I won't teach you how to Decompile/Compile applications, there is plenty guides on XDA about that so just search for some. Only I will link tool I used to do that. And of course Notepad++.
Here we go:
1. Decompile your SystemUI.apk
2. (OPTIONAL) This step will grant you possibility to add 2 more buttons in your navigation bar (screenlock and menu).
Go to SystemUI\res\values directory and open ids.xml. Then add these 2 lines to the end of xml:
<item type="id" name="lock">false</item>
<item type="id" name="newmenu">false</item>
Screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.1. (OPTIONAL) This is necessary if you want Screenlock in your navigation bar.
Go to SystemUI\res\values directory and open strings.xml. Then add this line to the end of xml:
<string name="accessibility_lock">Lock</string>
Screen:
2.2. (OPTIONAL) This are drawable images for lockscreen icon in navigation bar.
Download this: http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/61441709/file.html
Extract that two images from rar into SystemUI\res\drawable-sw600dp-xxhdpi
3. Now let's configure buttons the way we want it.
Everything you need now is in SystemUI\res\layout\navigation_bar.xml
Because it's a bit tricky to explain how to add more buttons and position it good I will attach "templates" for you. They already contain navigation_bar.xml with number of buttons you need. And explain just how to reorder keys the way you want it.
Here is example how to switch Recents and Back button on stock Navigation bar.
All you need to do is to switch lines that look like this one:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/(button function here)"...
These 2 screens show how BACK/HOME/RECENT is switched to RECENT/HOME/BACK:
To:
4. Compile your SystemUI
5. Sign SystemUI
6. Put it in your priv-app, fix premisions and reboot. Or make flashable zip and flash it.

That's not that easy as you think, but soon it will be possible as ROM option.

Hi. I've done everything perfectly for this to work with Optipop ROM but continue to get constant systemui force closes. I can't figure it out.

Just switched back and recent and works fine. The problem is when I try to add in screen lock.

I'll look at the difference in slims nav XML and optipop to see what's different. Hopefully soon someone will incorporate custom nav keys to the ROM itself.

Thanks bro @pandza88 for the guide I successfully reversed the back and recent button on my Catactlysm nav bar

Can anyone make me a flashable zip that I can use for xTraSmooth or Euphoria? I need it Recents, home, back, menu. My left thumb has zero feeling so I use only my right hand.... I am on the fields in N. Idaho. Can anyone please help? I have no access to a PC.

Cataclysm has the option to have the menu button visible on the navbar at all times which I love. Unfortunately it can only be on the right side. Is there any way you can make it where the menu is always visible on the left side instead? Thank a lot.

I can't see how Cataclysm developers made it visible or how is it added it in navigation bar. I have changed position of default menu button so if they made it always visible on some other way this will do the trick:

[Q] Replace SystemUI to get rid of S5 quick settings

I hate the quick settings in the notification panel of my Galaxy S5.
I'd like to disable it. I've searched for an Xposed module to do the work, but the closes I got was a "Xposed G-Touchwiz" tha helped me to hide the S-finder and Quick Connect buttons.
So I was wondering... Is it possible (or will it work if) to replace the SystemUI.apk with a version from, let say, CM? I'm not sure what else the SystemUI do, but I've crazy seen people replacing it to get the S5 quick settings buttons.
I would appreciate if anyone knows how to get rid of the quick settings in notification shade of the stock Galaxy S5.
Thanks.

It won't work with a cm systemui.apk. will most likely give you a ton of force closes. There are many custom Roms though with it either turned off or the option of turning the bar off. Just pull the systemui.apk from these Roms and replace yours.

Hi,
I guess you did this in a custom rom? And compiled it yourself?
If so.. Could you share it maybe? I could integrate it into my Xposed module "Xposed G-Touchwiz" ofcourse with credits to you =).

Yeah! Thats sound sweet. If Xposed G-Touchwiz could get rid of the Quick Settings it would be awesome!

I've replaced the SystemUI,apk from the AOKP rom, but I'm missing something.
What I did:
In folder /system/priv-app
Renamed SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.old
Renamed SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.odex.old
Copy the new SystemUI.apk to the folder /system/priv-app
Changed permissions of the new file, so it match the permission of the original file (rw-r--r--).
Reboot
It didn't work. One time I got the same notification shade as if I haven't done anything. Other time the notification area was completely gone.
The problem, I think, is that I don't have the SystemUI.odex file, nor could I find it on the AOKP rom.
Can you please enlighten me?

How did you get that? Share with us, please!
Its an option in my rom. The aim of the rom is to make people realise that they dont HAVE to use xposed. There are still people doing things the old way and modding the base files. The one in the screenshot is part of Kitkat style and you can switch to it or a whole bunch of other styles in one click.
For example you could have S5 style but then turn toggles off....
And then maybe sfinder off....
Or have a carbon look with toggles at the bottom...
If you like to change stuff to suit your taste you should try it!

Hi! You just sold me your fish! (Its a Brazilian expression!)
I installed Alliance ROM and I'm pretty much satisfied. Nice work you've done!
But it would be nice to have those features on a Xposed module too.
One thing that I dind't realize how to do is how to get rid of the second page toggles (the page on notification shade that shows all the toggles). As a suggestion, it would be nice to have a way to hide some of those useless icons/toggles.
Just for future reference (for those who tried), do NOT attempt to use SystemUIs from other devices/roms especially on an odexed rom. Thats recipe for FC's and bootlooops.
Xposed happens to be my only option at the moment.
Goldie, I would love an allianceRom version for sprint! Until then, how did you do it? I tried pulling the systemui.apk but couldn't find an editable xml. Any pointer would be awesome.

[HOW TO] Activate Hidden Lockscreen Effect in Galaxy Tab3

Just Followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342370 to activate lockscreen particle effect and i can confirm it's working with my T311 with Stock Kitkat ROM , dont know it will works or not with other devices.
Before Follow this Guide, make sure you have rooted your phone.
1) Download sqlite editor app here
2) Open the app and give it root permissions. It should populate a list.
3) Scroll and Tap the "Settings Storage"
4) Tap "Settings.db"
5) Tap "System"
6) Scroll down until you find "lockscreen_ripple_effect"
7) Highlight it and Tap "Edit Record" and change the value between 1-7 (default is 3).
change it to 0, you get the original circle lockscreen.
change it to 1, you get the water ripple effect..
change it to 2, you get the lens flare effect.
change it to 3, you get the particle effect.
change it to 4, you get the N3 water effect.
change it to 5, you get an Xperia-like effect.
change it to 6, you get something like the circle lockscreen, but with a line.
change it to 7, you get something that's a mixture between original circle lock and ripple lockscreen.
11) Save and try the new lockscreen effect.
PS : If you reboot your device, the effect will revert back to default. You have to change manually each time you reboot your device.
Update
i have succesfully add an option to choose the unlock effect in settings menu, but unfortunately its same with previous, it will revert back to "none" each time i reboot.

sure here for you all:
just one bug under fixing, the printing icon too big
Settings are completely inverted with some touch of black, will work of course with screenshot rom version(not sure about other KK ones)
New lockscreen effects enabled, those will revert to none after reboot...still under fixing.
I do not have so much time, but entire blacked out theme will be out when finished..... some fixes needed in framework as some text is still unreadable.
For that popup in previous post regarding effects(Tab S style) u need framework, which has stiil some bugs(you are feel free to ask but no moaning as i'm already aware of bugs )
here is the apk, push it via adb or qtadb, or use a root explorer giving rw-r-r permissions
GREAT! thanks, :good::good:..
will try today..

ahm,,,,, weird...... use your method and enable blind, then reboot, should appear new effects...
otherwise do so:
put again stock settings, via ur method choose value 5, save and check in lockscren effects in settings, noone will be checked.
then reboot and flash mine.
if not, do same and push apk via adb or qtadb.
Which rom version you have?

Navbar on S7 Edge Nougat

Do anyone know how to enable the navbar on the s7 edge?
Root, install xposed installer, install goodlock, install gravitybox and look for enable Navigation bar in gravitybox. Enable it, customise options and reboot. Boom!

Yeah bro! Totally forgot about that. This is one of the reasons I'm staying on my debloated MM stock rom and I'm really enjoying it!

Yes, it is quite an easy mod, I made it for Echoerom.
I edited four .pio files that must be replaced into systemUI.apk, so that they can be easily seen both when the navbar background is black or white (just some gimp and paint).
If any of you can share the systemUI.apk from Ambasadi's rom (the dev wrote that anybody is free to use his work) I'll mod it and eventually open a separate thread, though it's not real modding, just little tricks.
As a rule of thumb, any nougat systemUI.apk should work.
This mod requires you to use a different launcher (I modded a pixel launcher that works fine with navbar Btw).

Sorry, where does it come from and is it from a deodexed rom? I tried it on my nougat rom, after replacing the .pio files, and it FCs.

It is from Ambasadi's rom v11 odex
Sorry, I need a systemui from a deodexed rom to replace the inner resources.
If you use "Custom navigation bar", you can change the layout and button images easily. And if you want to change the background, "Navbar Apps" will change it.
I can't use English well. Sorry for my bad English...
