Hello, today I was trying to change the soft keys on the galaxy nexus using an explorer, i ended up putting the .png images on the SystemUi/res/drawable-xhdpi folder and the phone rebooted and came up with no status bar and no soft keys. Had a nandroid backup but deleted all user data without thinking about restoring because i thought the backup would stay... like on my rooted incredible. Any help on how to get soft keys and status bar back? thanks
anyone know any fixes? i need one fast please!

please help on reflashing now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20818957
i did what this guy said to and wiped data , formatted system and wiped the dalvik cache and when booted the phone stays on google with the unlocked icon
I think you may have wiped the system after you reflashed the rom. Your phone won't go past Google because there's nothing there. Power off and go back to recovery from fastboot.
Is all you did was put the png's in SystemUI? There's XML and smali code that needs to be edited/added for this to work as well.

Not true. All he has to do is replace the icons and it should work. OP try replacing the icons on your computer. I like 7zip. I just right click on the apk, choose open archive, and navigate to the folder of interest. Drag the images you want in, confirm the prompt, and its good to push back to the phone.
Using an explorer is what your problem is. The easiest way to get the status bar and keys back is to keep a copy of your unmodified SystemUI apk and push it with adb or simply copy it back to the /system/app directory with root explorer. After a reboot you'll be back to normal

Did it give you full screen size, or was there just a black bar at the bottom missing the icons? I am wondering if you may have stumbled on a work around for removing the bar at the bottom and getting full screen.

Its not a work around. If you're missing the top and bottom bars its nearly impossible to navigate the phone

I was talking about using the app "Button Savior". If this removes the full bottom bar then we could install Button Savior first then remove the .pngs and have the best of both worlds, as this was the same problem many of us faced who owned an Archos Gen8 tablet that was the first (that I know of) to use on screen buttons. Using Button Savior we were able to remove the on screen buttons and still have full navigation capabilities.
if you want to change PNG's files, you will need a deodex SystemUI.apk.
a normal odex SystemUI.apk will not accept it.
if you don't get any status bar or button, it means that android has failed to load the SystemUI.apk.
find the original SystemUI,apk and SystemUI.odex and re-install them should help.
Ok, I understand there are many threads as to softkey management. I, for one would love to hide these soft keys and I think I might have stumbled upon a way that it might work, but because I am not a Dev I myself don't totally understand, how Android works, so hopefully one of the Dev here could help understand what is going on here. So I have been doing a lot of searches to find a way to hide these keys, along the way I stumbled across a few threads where users were loosing their softkeys after using some of the softkey mods, I remember reading some where a user lost his softkeys do to flashing the Deodexed version of the mod while running on a Odexed Rom. I thought I would give this a try I downloaded Deodexed version of the softkey mod from this post:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394639&highlight=soft+key) and installed it on my ARHD 2.1.3 Odexed Rom. Behold upon reboot I had full screen! Great! Just a few problems though, I lost not only my softkeys, but also my notification bar at the top. I also could not set any wallpaper but only a live wallpaper. I was able to navigate without any issues as I downloaded and installed Button Savior from the market before installing the modification. Any suggestions from Dev's as to why, how, or if this could work would be great.
Not a dev but I made mine disappear when I was manually editing pngs in SystemUI.apk to mod my softkeys. I must have did something wrong.
I believe adr and his Bamf team are including this in their upcoming rom
I think they are mapping it to power and vol up or down
That would be great! I like the full screen it just looks amazing! I don't mind using Button Savior.
So you suggest removing the softkeys by breaking them and the notification bar..

No not by breaking them, I was hoping that a Dev would be able to see how or why they get removed and in doing so find a solution to hiding the keys altogether.
Eventually. Took Honeycomb a while. Supposedly the tricks in Honeycomb were patched.
They just need time. They already have abilities to rearrange and select which keys are visible plus themes and all that.

Actually seems like a pretty nice idea. Does the OS continue to draw behind the buttons, or does the screen effectively stop where they begin?
I would rather a gesture on the softkey bar (flick up/down) to show/hide it. That way you still retain the functionality of the keys, but at the same time you can utilise the full screen when you want to. Remapping these to the hard buttons sounds horrible (unless I misunderstood that?).
If it was transparent and you wanted to click something at the bottom of an app, android wouldn't know whether you wanted to click the app or the buttons.

we already have a transparent status bar successfully mod over in the themes section. and no you dont lose any function. the bar is still there, its just see-thru. so it functions identically to current usage.
anyway hiding the softkeys is something i would love. and google could have been creative, perhaps 3 finger swipe to make them appear, etc. that way 2 finger pinch to zoom wouldnt confuse it with a 3 finger swipe, twist, etc.

This would be great. I use ADW Ex on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE, and that has a swipe for its lower dock bar works great. When you don't want just swipe down, when needed swipe up.

i'll probably root eventually, i just wanted to change out the airplane mode toggle for the driving mode toggle and maybe remove a couple of others.
Ooooo I wasn't sure exactly what you were asking.
Only thing I know of is the 23 toggle mod, which is an easy enough flash if you are rooted. Wouldn't know another way, though.
There's a couple of apps in the play store which can add toggles but I'm not sure if root is required for those apps.

Theres a mod called 20 toggle mod. That'll let you customize it and edit the order and everything. It also adds a bunch of other toggles

Hi Im going mad trying to edit the softkeys / Navi bar.
Ive tried all the programs on play store, hiding the bar and using these softwares doesent help much because it does not push the screen up, instead if you make a false bar, it overlaps the lower part of the screen.
anyone know a straight forward method of editing them to be slightly smaller and perhaps making the bar black in colour? Mine is grey which is also another irritating factor.
u want to change the bar‘s color?

I only know how to hide the navi bar forever, by change some words in the system file. And i use a gesture app to instead of navi bar.
You'll need to extract framework-res.apk from the build your currently running. I can ammend the navbar height among other things. 28dpi is the optimal height in all honesty, the navbar icons don't scale to well otherwise.
This process assumes you have a working ADB environment setup.
Open Command Prompt/Terminal, take note of the current directory then perform the following command:
Code:
Adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Locate and attach framework-res.apk you've just obtained from the above step and attach here.
Alternatively if your phone is rooted navigate to /system/framework/ and copy and paste framework-res.apk to your /sdcard/, attach device via USB and like above locate and attach the obtained file here within a post and I'll take care of the rest.

Have you been able to see it yet?
So ive searched google and on here and i have not found either an xposed module or framework modification to alter the spark icon. I just hate how my status bar is half way taken up by all of my active things. Id like a simple LTE notification.
Also is there an xposed module where I can alter icons individually? Ive been using xStana and Wanam, but the xStana seems to only let you choose preloaded themes and its all or nothing - where Wanam lets me make simple changes like hide certain things (unfortunately not the AM/PM for the clock) and change the typeface and color but thats about it.
Any insight would be appreciated. im rather new to Xposed and all it can do.

Isn't there a build.prop edit to change the carrier to fix this?

CREDIT TO @dc/dc!!!
For those like me that hate our stupid American network indicators, build.prop can be edited to show the international (and I would argue, most accurate) icons. I do not intend to create a flashable ZIP or anything like that as the manual method is actually quicker and easier.
These instructions assume you're rooted and have made a backup of your original file.
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /system/
3. Hold on build.prop and select "Open in Text Editor"
4. Select Yes to open as RW
5. Modify the two lines shown below (replace "tmo" with "can"):
6. Save and exit
7. Reboot
Icons will now appear as below:
In case you're interested, here is the correlation to normal American icons:
1. 4G = LTE, usually shown as some silly little icon that says 4GLTE
2. H and H+ = HSPA (3.5G) and HSPA+ (3.75G) this is also known as 4G in America, but it is not 4G per the ITU
3. E = EDGE (2.5G or 2.75G depending on class)
If there were a standard UMTS network near me, I'd imagine that there would also be a 3G icon, but all of T-Mobile's UMTS network is overlaid with at least HSPA. Also, unlike the change to the Sprint icons, this change does not introduce any weird CDMA menus in mobile network settings.
The Following User Says Thank You to dc/dc For This Useful Post: [ View ]
@charlieb620
If you change the last 3 to att, spr, vzw you will also get the icons.
@siraltus
A more elegant (LTE is actually LTE) solution is to add the following line to /system/csc/features.xml instead:
OYC
This gives you standard LTE/H+/H/E/G icons so you don't have to guess what's what.
EDIT: Changed OYA to OYC which gives you LTE/H+/H/E/G icons.

I tried it and it did work. The only problem is when on 4g, the up and down indicators fall ontop of the 4g icon.
Yeah, a build.prop edit will fix it much like how I got the spark icon on my Note 3 by changing the model to the Sprint Galaxy S5 model.
