Xperia/AOSP NavBar Buttons

This Xposed module allows you to change the NavBar buttons on your Xperia/AOSP devices. On stock ROM, there're only three buttons on the NavBar (Back, Home and Recent Apps). Now you can have complete control of the buttons and how they look like.
FeaturesShow or hide Recent Apps, Menu and Search buttonsRe-order buttons18 themes with different colorsRestart SystemUI to see changes immediately without rebooting (Busybox required)Define left and right marginDefine navbar heightDefine search button actions

Requirements1. Your phone must be rooted2. Xposed framework must be installed first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=15744013. Xposed library 2.2 is required

InstructionsInstall the moduleRun Xposed Installer and enable the module Xperia Stamina LEDReboot the phone

Limitations & supported devicesI developed this module based on AOSP source code and tested only on my Xperia devices. I expect it to work also on AOSP devices such as Google Nexus. You can try it on other devices but I don't expect it to work universally, especially HTC and Samsung devices because their framework is heavily modified.

If you enable this module and Tinted Status Bar together, the color for the Home/Menu/Recent/Back buttons will be controlled by Tinted Status Bar while the Search button color will be controlled by this module.

If you're also using GravityBox, you must disable Navigation Bar Tweaks. Otherwise, this module won't work.

Currently the following devices are supported: (to be updated)Sony Xperia ZR stock 4.3 ROMSony Xperia V stock 4.3 ROMSony Xperia ZL stock based custom ROM/eXistenZSony Xperia SP ExistenZ 3.3.0Sony Xperia TSony Xperia M dual stock 4.2.2 ROMSony Xperia Z1 4.4 ihackers 4.1Sony Xperia Z1 Compact stock KK ROMSony Xperia Z stock 4.3 ROMNexus 5 stock 4.4.2Nexus 7 (2013) stock 4.4.2MUCH i5sMoto G stock 4.4.2 ROMMoto X stock 4.4.2 ROMSamsung Galaxy devices (you need to set qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.prop to enable Navbar)

CreditsHuge thanks to atticus182 for his great work of Softkey collectionhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/softkeys-softkey-collection-t1413582

Thanks to C3C076 for his wonderful GravityBox! This module uses some of his codes for search button actions.

*
* I can only work on Xperia/AOSP devices at the moment, please don't send requests on other devices ***
* CM ROM is not supported because it has its own implementation of NavBar **

This app is awesome I've used it on all my devices people rating it bad because they can't root their phone. Wow. Your awesome. Your app is awesome. And I'm just disappointed it won't work with my new lineage os but I know it has its own that I can't seem to customize with extra buttons. But thanks for the great app please find a work around for cm

BEST OF... Hi, if you added a second separator it would be perfect.Sure I changed it and added second a line in the xml file myself.But anyway need mini upgrade.When you try using themes, can't resize.Thanks for your hard work.

Nonsense. Must i root my phone first before i enjoy this app? Moreover, is it even ideal to root your phone? Less than a star.

Excellent App ... It works perfect in my Motorola Photon Q to recover the "Menu" button.. and Remove the useless "Recent Apps" button.. besides remapping the "Search" button.. to open the Puffin Browser and search the Google Webpage like in the computer.. as it should be.. .. I have not yet found how to add apps to the circle that appears when I hold the "Home" button.. there is only the useless Google icon now.. I hope that at some point the developer will update that part ;-) -- Excelente Aplicación... Funciona perfecto en mi Motorola Photon Q para recuperar el boton "Menu" .. y quitar el inútil botón "Apps recientes".. ademas de remapear el botón "Buscar".. para abrir el Puffin Browser y buscar en la pagina web de Google.. como en la Computadora.. como corresponde.. aun no encontré forma de agregar App's al circulo que aparece cuando sostengo el botón "Home".. solo esta el inútil icono de Google allí.. Espero que en algún momento el desarrollador actualice esa parte ;-)

Not having xposed and root on your device and thereby giving this a bad rating is foolish. Know what this is for. One of the best customising modules ever. Loved it.

Its not fair to give low rating when u don't know how to use this or uwhile u dont have its dependencies.. دوست عزیزی که نظر فارسی مینویسی ... سازنده این برنامه فارسی نمیفهمه که شما فارسی نظر میزاری..این برنامه تو دل سیستم تغییر ایجاد میکنه و بدون روت نمیشه

Hi,, it's very good app . Thanks for developing it, I am facing few issues with my old experia neo v . In calling screen call disconnect red button goes behind soft key navigation menu bar, so I am not able to disconnect calls, its major issues I am facing, one more issue is it can not reduce navigation bar height even after settings done to lowest one, please provide solution.

Lei. O. Apr 30, 2016     

To get it to work, I installed Xposed v80 or higher, booted Android, rebooted to recovery, cleared cache and Dalvik, booted Android, then installed this app. SoftKeyz didn't work, but this did.
