I am proud to present you my collection of Softkeys for the Google LG Nexus 4
I'd be grateful if you want to press the Thanks button if you're going to use these Softkeys!
Read this before you apply these buttons!
- If your ROM doesn't have a built-in Search or Big Menu softkey, then these images won't be used on your phone, it will only show Back, Home & Recent
- You need a rooted phone otherwise none of these methods will work! Stock rooted combined with ZipThemer works for most people, MetaMorph not always so preferably use ZipThemer
- The buttons will be a little less bright on your phone due to a layer of alpha transparency over them when you're not pressing them.
- IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING THESE SOFTKEY MODS!

Installation Methods
*** AOKP ***
Go to the Dropbox page of the style of your preference
Download the images you need from the folder and save them (probably to /sdcard/download)
Fire up Settings -> Rom Control -> Navigation Bar and select the images you just downloaded
Done!
*** Paranoid Android ***
Download one of the Softkey themes that starts with MMZT_
Make a backup of your ROM in Recovery
Extract SystemUI.apk from your ROM (located in /system/app) using your favorite File Explorer App with Root access
Open SystemUI.apk and put each image from the MMZT_ file (located in /res/drawable-xhdpi) downloaded in the following folders located at /res (replace the existing images): drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi drawable-sw1000dp-xhdpi and drawable-xhdpi
Paste new SystemUI.apk into /system/app using your favorite File Explorer App with Root access
*** ZipThemer (Recommended, Failsafe) ***
Here's a full guide with pictures etc! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202482
Download one of the Softkey themes that starts with MMZT_
Open ZipThemer. If this is the first time using ZipThemer then you have to select "Update Edify", "Browse", and select the .zip of the ROM you're currently using (this identifies the update script and needed files, if you're using a flashed theme on top of your ROM then please select the theme instead of the ROM) and press "Configure"
Go back to the main menu and press "+Theme", select the downloaded MMZT_ file and press "Build It!". Select "Always" on the popup prompt to make a backup in case it doesn't work or you want to undo
Boot into recovery, and flash the zip on the root of your /sdcard/ like any other flashable ROM/Theme
Wipe your Cache and Dalvik Cache just to be sure nothing weird happens on reboot
Reboot your phone after this and you're done!
If it somehow still fails just flash the "undo-zip" using steps 4-6
*** MetaMorph (Easier but riskier than ZipThemer) ***
Download and install MetaMorph from the Market
Launch MetaMorph at least once so that the folder AndroidThemes will be created on /sdcard/. (You can also create the folder manually if it doesn't)
Download a Softkey Style using the MetaMorph link and move this .zip file to /sdcard/AndroidThemes using your favorite file explorer
Open MetaMorph, choose "Unzip/Extract new theme" and select the .zip file you downloaded. A popup screen will appear, meaning it has been extracted. Press the "Close" button.
Hit the "Apply all!" button and wait +/- 5 seconds (nothing will happen)
Reboot your phone immediately after this and you're done!

I am the creator mike, and I chose to only copy the ones that I made myself, because it's a lot of work to maintain the others and don't make mistakes in the 'copyright' part

On the stock ROM (rooted, ofc) I wouldn't be able to see the search and menu buttons? I only ask because I don't really care for skinning the nav bar, I just want my damn search button back.
nice, thanks for share.

Nope, sorry. You'll have to wait for either a stock ROM mod that enables these buttons, or consider upgrading to the CM10 nightly, or wait for an AOKP release for the Nexus 4!
Thanks!!! working via metamorph
Note:Make a backup of systemui.apk just in case you guys have any problems

were is this cm10 nightly you speak of?
Ah I was mislead by the "CM10 Nightlies on TF700, Nexus 4 / 10, and Android 4.2 Announced – XDA Developer TV" title. 'scuze me! We still have to wait a while for that then I guess.. That, and AOKP
Woohoo great news, just ordered a Nexus 4 on eBay!
It's only the 8GB version and I had to pay €420 for it, but hey it's not coming to The Netherlands before 2013 so I don't care about the price tag
I expect it to arrive next week, I'll continue working on my Softkey Collection then!
Hey! I had a soft key skin on my gnex that had the basic 3 stock ones in blue with also blue glow BUT the center home button with this icon there below, do you think it would be possible to make one just like I described? Just wondering no pressure!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Is there a way to change the order of the soft keys? I'd really like to have it as back-home-apps-search if possible.
Two quick questions:
1) Does the Metamorph method work on stock ODEX ROM?
2) If I've already flashed the 1% battery mod, can I still use the Metamorph method? Or does it replace the entire SystemUI thereby overwriting my 1% battery mod?

1, Probably, but not sure
2, Yes, it only inserts the files into SystemUI.apk
I tried the metamorph method on the cm 11/29 nightly but after rebooting nothing changed.
do these include the down arrow to hide keybaord? mine is still the regular style after flashing with metamorph
I'd love ones with only the three buttons, but in the pixelated text and Roboto v2 forms, if you don't mind.

Thanks to javistanford, there's now a port for JVR roms. Go here for the details and download. Note, I haven't tested this myself so I welcome any feedback from other users. Enjoy! And thanks again to javistanford for porting it across.
Now confirmed working with new JS3 roms, like Doc's 9.1/Darky's 9.2 as well as other custom JPX/U/Y and JS3 roms.
WARNING: BE EXTRA CAUTIOUS IF YOU'RE USING TEGRAK'S KERNEL. MAKE A BACKUP! THE APPS THAT ARE PRESUMED TO CAUSE PROBLEMS ARE DIALERTABACTIVITY.APK AND PHONE.APK, SO IF YOU'RE USING THAT KERNEL, DELETE THESE TWO APPS FROM THE ZIP BEFORE INSTALLING. THIS ISSUE IS BEING INVESTIGATED.
Introducing NeonGT (NeonGreenTheme):
Hi folks, NeonGreenTheme is my first theme for Android, having done some themes for WinMo back in the day. Greets to all fellow ex-winmo skinners. Because it is my first foray into the world of Android I'm sure some things may not work 100% perfectly, but I have tried to make sure that everything works well on my device (using Spike's JPY 5.1 rom) so it should be okay on other custom JPY roms, and possibly also JPU/X roms (please test if you're feeling brave, but make a backup first).
Confirmed working with Spike's 5.1 JPY, Darky's V7.7/8.0 JPY, Insanity 0.3.1 JPY and Doc's V8.0/1 JPY.
Some information on the theme:
The aim of NeonGT is to completely theme the core interface green on black. Green because the pixels are twice as sharp as red and blue. And black because it offers the best power savings.
The big notification icons are from the WDD Reflection Icons set.
Most of the gfx have been re-worked/replaced by myself, but I still have a few to do.
4 lockscreens.
Extended power menu.
Phone with recording function.
Multi-dpi Dialer and Calculator.
Skinned Power Control Widget.
etc.
Credits:
R64 for the framework base and some great advice
Poppuri & loza100 (and Atom960i) for the phone/dialer base and for finally figuring out how to change the clock to green.
Vukandric for the generous help
dena994 for donating the second post for the theming guide.
And everyone else I'm forgetting.
To do:
Skin mms, email, twlauncher and google search.
Remove clock from Epic lockscreen, maybe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: 10.02.2011 - RE-RELEASED VERSION 2.5
I am hoping this will have fixed the problems with the dialer. If any app icons go missing I suspect low system space/your rom/system corruption is the culprit. Make a backup just in case! A tip: flashing Darky's Resurrection rom with repartitioning seems to work in 100% of cases with the theme.
UPDATE: 09.02.2011 - VERSION 2.5
Green clock in status bar.
Themed phone.apk - including built-in call recording.
Updated dialer.
Etc.
This is a full release, meaning all the files are in one zip. You don't need to have any previous versions installed.
Here's the disclaimer: THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RARE ISSUES WITH THE PHONE AND DIALER DISAPPEARING. I AM STILL TRYING TO TRACK THE ISSUE DOWN BUT POSSIBLE CULPRITS COULD BE a) TEGRAK'S KERNEL b) LOW SPACE LEFT ON YOUR SYSTEM PARTITION c) AN ISSUE WITH EMAIL.APK, AS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER USERS, OR d) SOME CORRUPTION ON YOUR SYSTEM. A FRESH INSTALL OF DARKY'S RESURRECTION ROM WILL FIX ANY ERRORS AND PROVIDE A CLEAN PLATFORM FOR FLASHING. I HAVE TESTED THIS PERSONALLY.
That said, please make a backup of your system before flashing!!! If you don't want to risk it then delete DialerTabActivity.apk, Phone.apk and Phone_Util.apk from the theme zip, as well as the whole /system/lib folder. Then install as usual. Or install the two files separately. Links at the bottom of this post.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: 07.02.2011 - VERSION 2.4
Buttons now have borders.
Updated statusbar icons: tethering, headset, roaming, lock, bluetooth, silent
Updated pattern, puzzle & epic lockscreens.
Changed lockscreen clock font.
Modified progress bars.
Plus a few other small gfx tweaks.
Only apply this patch if you already have 2.x installed. Enjoy!
UPDATE: 06.02.2011 - VERSION 2.3
This fixes the wifi icon error and has a few more tweaks to the lockscreens.
Only apply if you already have version 2.0/2.1/2.2 installed.
Sorry for the hassles, this should be working fine now.
UPDATE: 05.02.2011 - VERSION 2.2
Changed the wifi icon again. It's now more like the old one except sharper.
Restored clocks back to the lockscreens. Will remove just the epic one later.
Plus a few more changes to the lockscreen graphics.
Only apply this patch if you have Version 2.0/2.1 already installed.
UPDATE: 05.02.2011 - VERSION 2.1
Skinned the Power Control Widget
Removed clock from epic, glass and puzzle lockscreens
Tweaked/replaced statusbar icons: wifi, chat, sync, sdcard, sim card, error, etc.
Revised the text edit box backgrounds
Changed the notification item highlight colour
Changed chat status icons back to red + green
Tweaked menu popup graphics
Optimized the pngs some more
Enjoy. Make sure you have version 2.0 installed before flashing this update!
UPDATE: 04.02.2011 - VERSION 2.0
Black Buttons only.
Lots more changes to the core apps.
Contacts and Alarm Clock are now fully skinned.
DialerTab tweaked.
Notification bar graphics updated (the tabs are a bit lighter than I'd like, but it makes reading black notification text easier).
etc.
In the interests of time and quality, from now on I will only be updating the black button version.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But enough chit-chat. Screenshots speak louder than words:
From v2.4:
From v2.3-:

Wallpaper Pack: - DOWNLOAD
Neonchick Wallpapers (6 versions): - download attached to this post
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LauncherPro Docks:
New: NeonGT WDD Reflection LauncherPro Icon Pack added! Over 200 icons to match this theme. All credit to the original creator. I just greened them. (60x60 icons attached to this post, 128x128 version available here)
DON'T try to flash this file - it just contains png icons. Extract to your memory card then select the icons using LauncherPro.
Boot Animations:
Here's a couple of green Nexus S Boot Animations I made:
(Download links at the bottom of this post)
Also, here are a couple more animations that work well with the theme. There's this one, and this one here:
They work great, but I'm not going to package them with the theme because not all kernels support custom boot animations. Please make sure yours does before copying them over. All credits to the original creators and thanks for the tips, y0.o! and reflex9000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ONLY INSTALL THIS THEME ON CUSTOM ROMS. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH STOCK ROMS.
The apps include:
ClockPackage.apk
Contacts.apk
Phone.apk
DialerTabActivity.apk
JobManager.apk
MediaProvider.apk
Settings.apk
TouchWizCalculator.apk
If you don't want a certain app installed (e.g. the dialer) then simply delete it from the zip before installing.
Flash the zip using ClockWorkMod Recovery (reboot holding volume up + home key + power button). Select "Install zip from sdcard", then "Choose zip from sdcard". First boot will take some time, so be patient.
I would advise clearing cache and dalvik cache from ClockworkMod recovery first. The "clear cache partition" option is on the main menu and "clear dalvik cache" is in the "Advanced CWM features" submenu. Also, please do a backup using nandroid (this is also accessible in the ClockworkMod menu) just in case something goes wrong.
If your rom doesn't have the stock Samsung music player you can download it from here.
Don't flash the icons pack or the wallpapers, they are regular zips.
Please report any bugs and I'll try my best to fix them. Still figuring some of this stuff out so be patient and make a backup. Enjoy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO MAKE A BACKUP FLASHABLE ZIP OF YOUR CURRENT THEME:
Using 7-zip or WinRAR, take a look inside the downloaded theme zip file. In there browse to the /system/framework and /system/app folders - these are the files that get installed.
What you need to do is make a note of the file names, then go to your phone and make a copy of the same files from /system/framework and /system/app to a folder on your sdcard.
Then copy this folder over to your pc.
Make a copy of the theme zip and call it e.g. mybackup.zip. Open mybackup.zip and copy the files you've backed up into their respective folders, overwriting the ones that are already there.
Close 7-zip/WinRAR and you're done.
Backup created. You can flash it using ClockworkMod recovery.

HOW TO MAKE A THEME by JuMbA
Hi all, I've had a lot of requests for different colours. Let me briefly explain the process so you can understand the complexities involved. It may also inspire you to try it out yourself.
-------------------
Tools Needed:
Android SDK package - add the (sdkpath)/tools folder to your windows environment variable.
Version 1.3.1 (not 1.3.2) of APKTool.
Adobe Photoshop and Fireworks (or other advanced image editing software).
PSPad Editor (or other valid xml editor).
Latest version of the NeonGT theme.
PNGOptimizer.
7-zip.
Extract framework-res.apk from the theme zip file. Decompile this file using APKTool into a folder on your hard drive.
In this folder, edit the xmls in the /res/drawable-hdpi-v4/color , layout , values and drawable folders to change the theme colours to what you like. Note that if you want to recolour the other aspects of the UI such as Task Manager, Contacts, Dialer, Settings, DownloadsProvider, etc. then you will need to repeat this process with all the other .apks in the /system/app folder of the theme zip file. I cannot give detailed xml editing instructions here, but there are a lot of guides available via google.
Now onto the graphics. Take a look inside the /res/drawable-(x)/ folders. Leave all the files that end in .9.png for now, we will get to those in a bit.
You will need to recolour all the .png files, either by using automations in photoshop or batch commands in Gimp etc. so you can recolour a bunch of images at a time. However, mass recolouring is NOT advised due to subtle variations in the original icons that sometimes come out looking horrible if you do a Hue adjustment to all the files at once.
Beware though, because earlier versions of Photoshop (at least CS3) don't handle transparency in 8-bit .pngs, so you'll need to open these in Fireworks instead, or use a 3rd-party plugin like PNGOut for photoshop.
So let's say you've made it this far and have hand/batch-edited a couple of thousand images and successfully edited the colours in all the relevant .xml files. Next is to tackle the .9.png images.
These are different in that they are encoded with stretchable area information so they are able to be scaled in size without distorting the edges or gradients. I kinda like them. :O
If you open any of the decompiled .9.png images in your image editor you will notice they have a transparent 1px block around the image with some black lines. The top and left lines mark the area of the image that can be stretched and the right and bottom lines mark the space that can be occupied by the content of the image before any stretching takes place. I hope this makes sense - it will in time.
You can edit these images using the Fireworks/Photoshop method you used earlier with the regular pngs, but be 100% sure not to change the colour/transparency/lightness/brightness/etc. of the outer 1px border. This is essential or the .9.pngs will not compile. So if all you want to do is recolour the images you'll need to edit them one by one (or be handy with photoshop automations) to make sure the border remains unchanged.
At this point you may also want to run the images through PNGOptimizer to make sure they aren't too big.
Compile using APKTool. Rename the resulting framework-res.apk to .apk.zip and open with 7-zip. Delete the assets folder in the 7-zip window. Open the original theme framework-res.apk file in 7-zip and drag the META-INF and assets folders over to the other 7-zip window, adding them to the new framework-res.apk.zip. Close and rename the new file back to .apk
Oh, I almost forgot, you'll need to repeat this process with Settings.apk and twframework-res.apk.
Almost done. Make a copy of the theme zip file and rename it to (mygroovynwethemeorwhatever).zip - then open it and navigate to the /system/framework folder - drag your new framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk into this window, click OK - navigate to /system/app and drag over all your other new .apks, click OK and close 7-zip.
Pray. Flash using ClockworkMod.
looks interesting. I will give it a try on Darkys 8.0 and report back
Nice work mate. Green is my favorite colour. Will report back
wow,
I love how you themed all the images to match the idea and the image quality looks good too.
Nice work
I must say "WELL DONE"
It looks really cool, let's say "Borg - like"
And I do not like Borgs :-D
I mean the green color. But theme itself is really good. Can you make it in blue?
Will you allow me to take some parts from it, and include it (with credits) in my own theme?
I am still playing with themes, I have made few myself, few was re-constructed from other themes. Especially I like icons you have made. They are cute.
Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. I'll possibly look at other colours in future but, as I'm sure the other themers know, editing thousands of pngs takes ages. Gonna take a break once I've skinned more system apps then see what's next. fyi, the font is Calibri.
Will you allow me to take some parts from it, and include it (with credits) in my own theme?

He would have to change every single png file to make it blue, it is really hard work, especially changing. 9 pngs. So don’t expect it soon. Give the man the credit for this awesome theme first!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thank you-GREAT theme
Tnx for the feedback. Please let me know if it's tested successfully on your rom (I'm mainly interested in JPU/X results).
Just installed the theme over darky v.8 and i love it.
1 thing though notification bar is to transparent. I see the icons trough the icons look a litle bit messie.
Sorry for my english
Send from a SGS powered by Darky on XDA app.

Looks sexy, will test out after work.
Updated to V1.1 - Darker notification pulldown
Absolutely beautiful
Looks pretty awesome, was sick of everyone making blue themes
gonna download and install it right now!

Installation Methods
*** AOKP ***
Go to the Dropbox page of the style of your preference
Download the images you need from the folder and save them (probably to /sdcard/download)
Fire up Settings -> Rom Control -> Navigation Bar and select the images you just downloaded
Done!
*** Paranoid Android ***
Download one of the Softkey themes that starts with MMZT_
Make a backup of your ROM in Recovery
Extract SystemUI.apk from your ROM (located in /system/app) using your favorite File Explorer App with Root access
Open SystemUI.apk and put each image from the MMZT_ file (located in /res/drawable-xhdpi) downloaded in the following folders located at /res (replace the existing images): drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi drawable-sw1000dp-xhdpi and drawable-xhdpi
Paste new SystemUI.apk into /system/app using your favorite File Explorer App with Root access
*** ZipThemer (Recommended, Failsafe) ***
Download one of the Softkey themes that starts with MMZT_
Open ZipThemer. If this is the first time using ZipThemer then you have to select "Update Edify", "Browse", and select the .zip of the ROM you're currently using (this identifies the update script and needed files, if you're using a flashed theme on top of your ROM then please select the theme instead of the ROM) and press "Configure"
Go back to the main menu and press "+Theme", select the downloaded MMZT_ file and press "Build It!". Select "Always" on the popup prompt to make a backup in case it doesn't work or you want to undo
Boot into recovery, and flash the zip on the root of your /sdcard/ like any other flashable ROM/Theme
Wipe your Cache and Dalvik Cache just to be sure nothing weird happens on reboot
Reboot your phone after this and you're done!
If it somehow still fails just flash the "undo-zip" using steps 4-6
*** MetaMorph (Easier but riskier than ZipThemer) ***
Download and install MetaMorph from the Market
Launch MetaMorph at least once so that the folder AndroidThemes will be created on /sdcard/. (You can also create the folder manually if it doesn't)
Download a Softkey Style using the MetaMorph link and move this .zip file to /sdcard/AndroidThemes using your favorite file explorer
Open MetaMorph, choose "Unzip/Extract new theme" and select the .zip file you downloaded. A popup screen will appear, meaning it has been extracted. Press the "Close" button.
Hit the "Apply all!" button and wait +/- 5 seconds (nothing will happen)
Reboot your phone immediately after this and you're done!

Well you're always using a ROM, even a stock Android version is still called a ROM
Considering your question, I guess that as long your phone is rooted (meaning you can access the system files like SystemUI.apk) you can install this mod no problem
works great on GSM version!
Looks good on my gnex! Thanks for this collection!
This is a great thread.
Loving the new softkeys....thanks guys.

Original thread with all links, I picked the ones which are for our device.
[url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363239[/URL]
To follow this guide you must have:
HTC Wildfire S, Rooted, Unlocked Bootloader, Clockworkmod Recovery flashed.
Cyanogenmod 7.2 (any will do, normal or latest nightly.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494480
External SD card, Any size (larger than 512mb)
Your Cyanogenmod 7.2 ZIP, where the rom is in.
1.
Download This theme. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329375
Put the .APK (that is in the .ZIP file on your sd card, and install it with a File manager (download on market, i recommend astro or ES).
Apply the theme using the default app Theme Chooser (Cyanogenmod 7 only)
Fast link: http://www.mediafire.com/?dvws5vklawykap8
2.
Go to your theme chooser after installing the APK and select the theme.
If you like it already you can stop now, but if you want a real feel to it, i recommend installing the layouts and framework animations.
3.
To install the custom layouts, go to this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316574
Follow the video in that thread, and flash the .ZIP you get from it with Clockworkmod recovery. (MAKE A BACKUP FIRST)
EDIT:(feb 19)
Here's some links to the files already flashed, but i'm not sure if they work on all cm7 versions (i use a nightly not the normal one).
Just put on your SD card and flash with clockworkmod manager, the unpatch file is also there if you need it.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60852825/ics_patch.zip
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60852825/ics_undo.zip
Download both just in case it goes wrong.
Also make a NANDROID Backup.
4.
To install the ROBOTO font of ICS, download this.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bn9er8dhm8wrh9k
And flash it with Clockworkmod Recovery.
5.
Install GO launcher ex, and then install this theme from the market.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bacastudio.go_ics_theme&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5iYWNhc3R1ZGlvLmdvX2ljc190aGVtZSJd
If you get a white buggy background in the app drawer, press your menu key, press preferences -> visual settings -> backgrounds -> App drawer background and then press Transparent background or custom background.

I also used GO Locker with this theme.

8.
For a fun prank on your friends, download ROM Toolbox. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkubGliZXJ0eS50b29sYm94Il0.
And start it. Go to the Performance tab and press Build.prop editor.
Scroll down to ro.build.version.release and edit it to something like 4.0.2 Ice Cream Sandwich
You can also edit ro.modversion to something like Cyanogenmod 9.10 RC2.
9. (Edit: 19Feb)
For widgets, I downloaded all GO Widgets and this theme.
https://market.android.com/details?...nathan.icecreamsandwich&feature=search_result
For the search bar, i used this theme.
https://market.android.com/details?id=dcombl.gowidget.icsearch&feature=search_result
Use the default analog clock, or download this one.

10. (Edit: 22Feb)
For Sounds (UI, not notification, ringtone) , download this .ZIP and flash it with Clockworkmod.

I can't do that because it's mostly apps. But I could make a custom cm7 ROM like the miui one where it's all pre installed.
I do have the status bar layout zip if you want it, but I don't know if it works on all versions of cyanogenmod.
I am going to sleep now, and see if I can put all the flash zips into one tomorrow

Added direct download links to the layout flashable ZIP's!

Hi,
when applying your theme on CM7.2 KANGO (latest nightly), colors/background in application Tasker are out of control (just doesn't look so good anymore) + some settings does have BLACK text on GREY background (it's not very readable). And thanks for custom layouts, it works (my wife's WildFire almost looks and behave like my Galaxy S with ICS ;-) )
thx . awesome!

I'm not sure about anything in tasker, I'll download the app now and look at the problems.
Its on the Wildfire S right, and if its not is it on a MDPI phone?

Hey again,
Isnt it black-grey because you/your wife played with the theme settings?
Try changing things there, and it should work.
On default it all works for me.
I have started creating a custom CM7 rom that will have all this pre-included, plus the crappy gallery removed and added quickpic.
Hi, no, she wasn't playing with any settings, she better doesn't even touch it Actually when applying any other theme, it's fine.Now she is on Cyanbread and it's totally ok. It's really Wildfire S. Don't know what could be the problem....

FAQs
What is the hex code for BOSS?
It's 6e8a9f
Is the theme incorrectly compiled?
No worries! Set the System (stock ICS) theme, reboot, and then follow the installation guide!
Is the theme missing assets for your screen?
Click 'Apply Anyway'
Something weird happen to your phone? Theme isn't showing up properly?
Try one of the following: Reboot phone, Restore nandroid backup, Flash the rom again. Make sure you're on an AOSP based rom (AOKP, CyanogenMod, Gummy, Rootbox etc) or it won't work. If it still doesn't work, try re-downloading the file and follow the steps carefully.
No circle battery mod? (as shown in the screenshots)
You're probably running a version of CyanogenMod. If you'd like, you can either change to a rom such as AOKP which has this features, or request your rom's developer to add them. sorry
Can you theme ______ or add/remove feature ______ from your theme?
I'm open to all suggestions! Please post/pm me any/all your suggestions and hopefully they'll be added soon.

No, you need a ROM with theme chooser. As it says in the OP: Make sure you're on an AOSP based rom (AOKP, CM9, Gummy etc) or it won't work.

my theme is only compatible with roms that include the t-mobile theme chooser. (check your settings area to see if there's a 'Themes' section). If your ROM doesn't include one, you'll have to switch over to a ROM that does (such as AOKP or CM9), or maybe request the dev to include it in a future update
thanks for the interest though, much appreciated!
Very interesting mate have you planned a future CM10 support?

not quite sure on that one, as i'll be switching my nexus s for a galaxy s3 soon and don't know if i'll want to root it or not (seems to have all the features i want in the stock rom!)
i may just make a CM10 compatible version and just leave xda to test it though, if there's a lot of people asking for it

Doesn't work? Read advanced instructions below..
1. Extract the downloaded file
2. Navigate to \vrtheme\system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi
3. There you'll find ic_sysbar_highlight.png and ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png those are the modded softkey background, keep it open in your explorer.
4. Now extract SystemUI.apk from your phone (using adb, or copy it manually using root explorer) and put it on your desktop
5. Open the extracted SystemUI.apk using winrar and navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi
6. Replace both the stock ic_sysbar_highlight.png and ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png with the one from Step 3 (drag and drop, and press ok)
7. Push your SystemUI.apk back to your phone and reboot
Side Note
- If it keeps loading at 'Starting Apps' just wait for it
- On select ROM with costumizable navigation bar, if it had an option to change the glow color it will overrides the default one, but you cant change back to default color that comes with it
Workaround by setting Navigation Glow Color in ROM Control to #0000000 (transparent)

It doesn't broke mine, and it shouldn't.. the mod only change the .png inside systemui, nothing else..
You could try to reflash it again then wipe cache/dalvik..

If it's still not working perhaps you might have to replace it manually.. open the SystemUI.apk using winrar, navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi and replace both navbar highlight .pngs with the one inside my mods..
If this doesn't work nothing will do..
Perhaps a more experienced themer could advice?

If you look inside my flashable zip It's in vrtheme/system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
Look for ic_sysbar_highlight.png and ic_sysbar_highlight_land.png those are the navbar background effects that i change..
There you can extract the pngs and put it inside your SystemUI.apk manually..
I'm sure this is the most foolproof way of doing it..

Works beautifully on stock deodexed JB!

Really should use ZipThemer for this mod. Vr theme makes extra drawable folders in your system apps. Not cool. That's why I stopped using it for my themes.
