[Q] Change navigation buttons z1? - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys I'm new here, I have a rooted z1c running RomAur 2.1, and was looking to add some buttons to the bottom navigation bar.
I was briefly on cm11 but didn't really like it but liked the way you could add a option/settings key.
Any way to do this?
Sorry if this has been asked I did have a quick search

One way would be
root -> xposed framework -> gravitybox module
And i think there is a five button mod in "themes and apps" section of z1 compact forum, try looking there
Good luck

And if you don't want to do it the lazy way, see here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553416

Worked fine. Gravity box has some nice features. Also managed to fix my buggy battery icon. Thanks

[MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! NOW MORE BUTTONS!!!

Hello, I created this 2 apps to add copy and paste buttons to the nabvar...
What this app does is to simulate a keypress from a service when button is pressed....
Concretely sends KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN for CTRL_LEFT(holds that key pressed), then injects C or V KeyCode event and finally it sends KeyEvent.ACTION_UP for CTRL key(releases that key).
However, not all apps are compatible with CTRL key, so this wont work properly with these apps
This app has been tried on Xylon ROM but also it SHOULD work on AOKP and derivates.
**THIS APP DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT**
Install like a normal APK
COPY: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kinq13mljdzl9ho/NavbarCopy_signed.apk
PASTE: https://www.dropbox.com/s/clxj83sqg76lkof/NavbarPaste_signed.apk
-----------------------------------------------------------
MORE FUNCTIONS ADDED!!!
To use this app you must sign with system signature, which can be find in its repositories
http://db.tt/KD07RwYy
Here is the source code!
http://db.tt/d10qEVO9
so will it work on non root stock rom?
Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
No, it doesn't work for non rooted. It installs and goes to widgets and put it on the screen and it says not installed when clicked. Plus, non rooted wouldn't be able to add those to the launcher. MAYBE 3rd party but I don't wanna do all that..

I am rooted, but i have the same error... I dont know why, but it only works with in the navbar... however it doesnt make sense to put them in the launcher...
I guess that appears that errors because I dont created an acctivity that extend AppwlWidgetProvider
Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
That's what I meant, the navbar. Not launcher.. But I don't know how to make it work.

You can see in screenshots, go to settings > UI settings > navbar settings (Depends on your rom) and add new icon> custom application... it should appear there
Re: [MOD/APP][AOKP] COPY/PASTE buttons in NAVIGATION BAR!!! (Root & NON Root)
Hi.
Can you make similar buttons but with different functions?
I would like to hide navbar and use aokp pie instead but I need few buttons.
Menu
Back
Home
Recent apps
And if this is possible - forward buttons (for Internet browser)

Well its done... It can emulate back home menu search play/pause skip track power button and camera button
This is looking really cool. I love aokp nav bar mods and this seems quite similar.
Is there a function in there for "last app"? That's probably my favorite thing to have on the nav bar.

It said in op... You must sign apk with system signature and install as system app... There are some tutorials out there
Yep
My bad
Tried to find some info hot to sign this app as system app but can't find simple way.
What kind of files do you need to make this app working in AOKP by bigxie?

For example, for xylon rom you have to use these platform.pk8 and platform.x509.pk8... You get them here
https://github.com/XYAOSP/android_build/tree/jb-mr1/target/product/security
To sign you can use a program called "apk signer" (i think)

You can't get this mod flashing separately. If You don't want to flash the Rom then You can install Xposed Installer and get Gravity Box module that have Status bar brightness control feature
Here Xposed Installer .apk and instructions:

And here Gravity Box thread:

Thanks for your reply, but what i meant was a mod like that but to control the sound, not the brightness.

Hi @smyrosnik and @6ril1,
I have 20a and no lg keyboard fc issue. Can you provide me logcat?
My LG keyboard version is 4.4.28, if you have older, try software update.
I don't think weather is broken by my mod. It doesn't work at all, no matter if I activate or disable my mod.
I am guessing the mod is modifying build.prop. In this case whether I try to hide navigation button through the mod or by addding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to that file has the same result. It causes the weather widget to malfunction and sometimes the keyboard fc. The keyboard version is 4.4.22. I have used both Stock 4.4.2 international version for D802 and CloudyStock 1.2. Same problem
I will provide the log as soon as possible.

Not modifying build.prop, but overwrite android config value. Basically output is same. As you guys said, this is common way for most mods to hide navigation, nothing special.
Weird is that weather widget doesn't work on my device. When I add it to home screen or lock screen it ask to download 75MB update. After that update add again doesn't work at all.
Any idea why the mod doesn't seem to do anything? Installed,activated and rebooted, the navigation bar is still there. Would love to get some pie for the stock ROM finally,feels so cramped with the bar

Can you post Xposed log?
Do you have any other mod activated, which have options to tweak navigation bar?
It could be that this other mod revert it back.

Nevermind this was caused by leftover line in build.prop (hwkeys=0), works great now after removing it. Now the only problem is that stock keyboard doesn't show suggestions, otherwise it works well but the boxes where the suggestions should be are empty. That I can live with

This is really weird. I got similar issue when I upgraded LG Keyboard to 4.4.23 version. It break keyboard theme. Actually suggestions were there, but they got same text color like background, so it looks like empty.

Hi, I'm using this mod but I still have the navigation ring.
When I activate it only soft keys disappears.
I use only this mod + gravity box.
You gave me light at the end of the tunnel. I was about to convince myself a huge nav bar is fine, until I saw this. Works great with GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys.
Thanks!

Well, your screenshot show gravity box crash. Gravity box is quite powerfull mod, it tweaks a lot of things. Try to check it's settings if there is anything related to Navigation Ring. Like I wrote before, if using multiple mod which tweaks navigation bar, it could happen that my mod disable it and next mod enable again.
You can simply confirm it by disabling gravity box for the moment and restart.

What I see is a lot of missing files and resources needed for keyboard to run. This looks really strange. You are running original LG stock ROM? Anything disabled or removed?
I don't think I can solve missing keyboard files. Do you have latest 4.4.28 keyboard?

[Q] [Xperia M C1905] Notification tile settings possible on 4.3?

Is it possible to install/use notification flip settings introduced in Android 4.2 on the Xperia M?
I've searched the internets but couldn't find any answer.
I tried using Gravity Box but even though I use the Master Switch and
reboot there are still no flip settings available.
I've also tried the Xperia Flip Settings module but still nothing happened after reboot.
So,anyone has an idea on how to do this?
One of the reasons I updated to the latest Jelly Bean 4.3
was this and I m really disappointed.

I have Xperia M Dual.
I use Xperia Filp Settings + Gravity box to get AOSP Tiles. It works perfectly for me.
XFS Enables the tiles while GB Adds them.
Which ROM?
EDIT
I did manage to get it to work somehow by disabling it,rebooting,enabling it and rebooting again.
The thing is that Viber's persistent notification allows me to use the flip settings window only by quick expanding it from the far right corner of the status bar and of course I cannot flip between the default notificationsystem window and the one with the tiles.I suspect this is missing by design though...

The quick setting tiles will not be shown on the default notification panel.
You have 4 different options to open it.
1. Extreme right or left shortcut as u did.
2. Two finger swipe from status bar.
3. Default setup so that if theres no notification then the quick settings tiles will be vissible when u swipe down(will not work for you as you have viber's ongoing notification)
4. Pull down the notification panel n then swipe the bottom bar from left to right or vice versa.
I hope this much information will be helpful to you.

Hey, iam on a nvidia shield tablet, but want navbar on right side in landscape. I tried gravity box + phab7.
It moves my navbar but all buttons are gone. If i enable the cursor keys while in text, i can see the left cursor. This makes me think the buttons are just outside of the visible area maybe?
Any ideas or someone who experienced the same issue?
