[THEME/MOD] Flashable Softkeys

[Linsalata28]

​I found this over on xda in the n7 forums. I only ported it to work on any JB ROM for our device. All credit goes to Spannaa the original creator of the MOD, thread can be found here and the creators of Villain ROM for the VRTheme System thats used to install this.

I am not responsible for any damage done to your device from using this MOD. This shouldn't hurt anything I'm just covering my a$$.

Thank ramdyc for porting this one


Thanks to flopower1996 for porting these next three over for us, all credit goes to him I'm just posting them here to make them easier to find.
Blue MIUI Style Softkeys



Cyan Honeycomb Softkeys



Metro Blue Softkeys



How to install !
First make a system/nandroid backup from cwm recovery. Don't forget to do this just in case.
Then wipe cache and from advanced wipe dalvik chache.
Next go to install from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard and flash the zip that you had downloaded.

If anyone wants a different one let me know and I'll make it up.
I'm working on a few MODs just to give us some options.

Cool I like that. I'll probably try it out later. Thanks! Is there an easy way to go back to stock?

Thanks. I've been wanting to try out this VRTheme flasher. Its really cool how it works by just injecting the png's into the apk's. It makes making themes so much easier and faster.

So would anyone like me to port any of the other mods from that thread on xda? I don't mind making them but don't want to waste my time if no one is going to use them.

You mean port other mods about the keyboard or mods in general?? Anyway I would like to use them

By the way, this flashable softkey mod works for JB right? The title contains the word ICS so i dont know if this is for ICS only or not.

I made one for the "Grey Nik Softkeys". I don't really know any details about theming so I just unzipped the one from XDA, unzipped one of yours, replaced the .png's, and rezipped it. Tested it and it worked fine for me.

I meant in general but if you want I could try to theme the keyboard. I've themed them for my phones so how different could it be. Let me know what color and I'll give it a try when I have time.

Yes they are for jb. The ICS is the color used in them.

I don't want anyone to get discouraged about development. If you write something you like, why not publish something? I'm afraid that if people don't publish, they'll stop developing -- and stop learning. I wish I could try these mods and offer comment, but I'm getting tied up with my "little project".

I here what you are saying. I'm also trying to learn more about development and get away from theming. I am pretty good at making themes so if any of you new guys need any help don't mind asking me for help, I'm glad to help where I can. Maybe we can start a thread about theming.

I am ok with the color, and i would like to try all the mods you are going to post in the future and give you feedback too ! Also please do not stop posting i believe there are always people that is waiting for your mods Thank you for your hard work! Thanks for those who are contributing their time to the A2109 forum too

Cool, good to know. Would you mind explaining what the other steps you took were? Or even just point me in the direction of somewhere that explains it would be cool. This is my first Android device so I barely know next to nothing but I want to learn a lot more.
