So I need a real developers opinion. The build prop mod doesn't work. How would one go about enabling this? Is there a modification that needs to be done to the framework-res? SystemUI? Both? Please help. I can find jack about this for any device.

Yes I'm pretty sure I found the files for hw buttons and lights and I found the imgs for back home and recent in the system ui I just have no clue how to enable them. I think something needs to be added to one of the XML files of the ui

After compairing the build.prop of both the Moto X and Ultra the only thing that stood out to me that may enable the softkeys is the line:
ro.product.display=Moto X

Try placing it under # ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES After you have backed up of course.
Also, look for an xml in systemui.apk called navigation_bar.xml. It should be located in res/layout/ of your decompiled systemui apk.

are you using an unlocked version?
have you tested your deodex framework-res to ensure it works?
if i give you a moddified framework-res.apk do you know how to properly push it? obviously you need root and RW on the /system
do u have a backup?
or a way back if need be?
in other words do you know what you are doing?
and will not hold me responsible in any way shape or form?
and fyi you cant just adb push the framework while booted you will bootloop. cause you have to rm - the odex and apk will be over written when you push, the best way would be to push it while in recovery, ( which you would only have if you have a dev version)
i say all that to warn you,
A) its 100% untested.
b) i dont have a device to even test it on.
C) beware bootloop is a possibility especially if you dont know what you are doing.
its compressed just unzip do what you will with it
framework-res.zip Show_navbar
and yes your right(ish) the bool.xml in the framework has to be changed from
Code:
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">[COLOR="Red"]false[/COLOR]</bool>
to
Code:
<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">[COLOR="red"]true[/COLOR]</bool>
Actually strangely enough the framework res is factory deodex. No I don't have Dev edition (yet) to pushing via adb is out right? Will copy and paste with root explorer work, setting proper permissions of course, or is it going to f%#k up right away? I have no total back up but I've got the important stuff and it wouldnt be the first time of me using the fxz back to stock

I am not responsible for what you do to your phone. I am 99.9% sure this will not bork your phone but if it does its your fault not mine. OK? Great. Enjoy.
I dont have this phone though ive done this on other phones ive owned. Im confident it will work.
If anyone is feeling adventurous, ive modified the framework-res.apk to show the nav keys. Below is the best way to apply it. You must be rooted and be willing to flash back to stock if things go wrong (or push the backed up app if possible). You may have issues if you are not deodexed, though included in the instructions below is how to apply it even if you are not. You also must be able to use adb. Id make a flashable zip but you dont have a recovery.
Copy the framework-res.apk file to your internal storage however you please.
Make sure your phone is plugged into your computer and adb debugging is enabled.
Type the following commands (read carefully!):
adb shell
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
su
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(look on your phone, it may ask for superuser permissions, allow it)
stop

(note: this will make your screen go black and it will be unresponsive, this is normal)
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/

(if you have a problem at this point type: adb remount and try this step again.)
rm /system/framework/framework-res.odex
Click to expand...

(only do this if your apk is not deodexed)
reboot
Click to expand...

On reboot you should have onscreen nav keys.
Here is the modded framework: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44601870/framework-res.apk
I see runandhide05 has also done the mod for you. I can confirm that what he (and I) have done is what adds the nav keys to the moto x (which i have).

It should be in my post now. It is infact of the framework you posted on the first page.
The adb crap may not work right now. You need to mount the system as r/w and i dont know what file system the X/Ultra etc use. Though it may work because the way root was aquired for this phone. Worst case is you cant copy the file to the system. No harm will be done.

It should be noted that there were two ways to root your ohone, the first DID NOT allow rw on the /system
The second from jcase allows rw only when booted into "recovery" which is not the normal recovery but a mirror img of your /system and will appear as normally booted however you have rw access to the system.
This is how you would have to do it. If you rooted with his first release you wont have rw on the system, if thats the case use his latest release and follow his instructions in his OP then do as mentose457 suggested

I can't remember what the program was called but though it was called adb shell.
What it does is that when I installed on my pc i can connect my phone and see a list of apks on the program. And when I goto different tab on the program, i can remove and push apk to and from phone.
does anybody know where i can download it?
Thanks

Thanks gil2001xp
its something similar to the one you posted but with different interface.
the one that i used has all the apks on the phone listed on the left side and i can click on the one that i want to remove and just remove it.
for example, when i want to remove the stock launcher or camera i can just remove it and push the new launcher/camera of choice to the phone. this way i will not have two launcher/camera on my phone.
I will give X10 Mod Tool a try now.
Thanks again.

Thanks djkekko89, really appreciate it.
I'm fairly new to the xda community... So I'm hoping this works for others like it worked for me. I tried about 20 different modded phone apks that were supposedly designed to work for 160dpi setting on AOKP and CM9 roms and I was just about to give up when I stumbled across one that actually works!!! Directions are pretty simple...
1. Download phone.apk file from below
2. move to root of sd card
3. In root explorer (or any file browser with root access) go to /system/app and rename original phone.apk to phone.apk.bak
4. Copy and paste new phone.apk in /system/app
5. Reboot phone and enjoy
No need to change app permissions to -rw-r--r--
UPDATE!!!! For those of you that prefer a flashable zip, Mr. Apocalypse was kind enough to upload one in post #12 of this thread
If you run into any problems let me know and I'll try to help with troubleshooting.

It replaces the stock phone app... The stock phone app will crash on any LCD density below 200 dpi. This modded phone app will run on the lower densities so you can use the 160 dpi setting and still be able to make/receive phone calls without a FC error.

It's nothing major... Just a fix for a force close error when using the phone app on different LCD densities. A lot of ppl like the look of 160 dpi and 128 dpi (tablet mode) but you lose call functionality as a consequence... This fixes that issue.
Also... If you decide to return the phone to stock LCD density there's no need to revert back to the old phone apk... This one will work in all densities from 128-240 dpi. (I haven't tried anything larger than 240 yet... IDK why anyone would though )
Ah, okay got it..

thankyou so much! fixed my issue wondered why it kept crashing when it was lower than 200 lol
I'll try it out. That FC pop up gets annoyings as stopping and clearing data after every reboot gets annoying lol.
Does this permanently replace the stock phone apk?

Make sure the /system folder is mounted as read/write before you do this... If your file explorer app doesn't have the option to give you root access you can mount /system by using terminal emulator.
Use the following commands:
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

Didn't find any working package so I started browsing the Android source.
I think I found the root of this problem:
https://github.com/AOKP/packages_apps_Phone/blob/ics/res/layout/incall_touch_ui.xml#L52
Code:
<!--
(1) incomingCallWidget: the UI displayed while an incoming call is ringing.
See InCallTouchUi.showIncomingCallWidget().
Layout notes:
- Use an opaque black background since we need to cover up
a bit of the bottom of the contact photo
- The verticalOffset value gets us a little extra space above
the topmost "Respond by SMS" icon
- [b]The negative layout_marginBottom shifts us slightly downward;
we're already aligned with the bottom of the screen, but we
don't have an icon in the downward direction so the whole
bottom area of this widget is just wasted space.[/b]
-->
<com.android.internal.widget.multiwaveview.MultiWaveView
android:id="@+id/incomingCallWidget"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
[b]android:layout_marginBottom="-46dp"[/b]
android:background="@android:color/black"
android:visibility="gone"
I guess this -46dp is too much and needs to be lowered a bit.
Downloading AOKP source right now and trying to rebuild the Phone.apk
Uhm, I have a XYBOARD 10.1 inch (WIFI ONLY) And I edited something in Build.PROP. I then restarted at to my surprise it goes completely black after it shows the Motorola DUAL CORE screen. I can get into the recovery. I even Factory Resetted thinking that might help but, Nothing. Is there anything I can do to restore it? Because I'd rather not have an expensive XYBOARD paper weight.
BUMP? I really need help.
if you can get to recovery, you should be able to push stock OS via ADB.. there is a guide in the Xoom development section.

As the XOOM2/Xyboard has a locked bootloader and no bootstrap for a recovery so your stuck right now until Motorola decides to care about the Android community. Also adb is not possible from what I heard when it can't boot. If you want some help then contact the not many Xyboard devs here "Bricks" as they are always happy to help bricked people.

I'm in the same situation as you as of today (But I have the Verizon Droid Xyboard 10.1). Messed around with the Build.prop and now its not working. I have a copy of the original Build.prop but don't know how I can push it to my tablet.
Adb is not working but fastboot is.
I don't think my original build.prop would be any help to you since I have the 4G version but if you want it let me know and I will send it to you!
Looks like I may have to send it to Motorola :-(
OK guys, no worries... I think I know the solution.
1 - enter in recovery
2 - open cmd on your PC
3 - go to adb and fastboot folder via cmd
4 - type:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
cd /system
rm build.prop
exit
5 - copy original build.prop to this folder (adb one)
6 - type:
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb reboot
exit

Try and not use root explorer... It is 100% safer to use adb and the command line to do things like this.... If you want the commands to run to do the job then PM me, and I will give you a rundown.
Too many people with this phone and other phones have had a TON of trouble with root explorer and other file manger apps making more than just permissions changes to files, things like corrupting the files, and even changing their file type bit.

There is very little you can do that is not easy to fix. Just don't format your whole hard drive or something if you want it working with windows.

Partition the hard drive with the recommended size, right, and that's it? I think I have a recovery disk made, but if I don't or can't find it I'll make one first - before doing anything nutty...

yep in the setup you can choose manually partition hard drive and resize windows down and create a new partition for ubuntu. It will need to be pretty big if you are gonna get into development. mine is 30GB and I am running out.

No problem, I'm happy to help.
I'm new here and new to modding devices, ROMs, etc. I've looked everywhere else but I haven't found a better site with a more trustworthy and helpful community than you guys. :laugh:
So, help my XDA Developers. You're my only hope.
There is no Jellybean ROM available for the Mytouch Q. There is, however, a WIP CM9.
Biggest issues:
Camera flash doesn't work
Bluetooth causes kernel panics

Would it be possible to install Jelly Bean to my device?
EDIT: Just realized what you said about Jelly Bean. For some reason I thought you meant CM9. My mistake.

Is it stable though? I don't want to 'brick' my phone. I'm a college student so, I don't have the expenses to buy another device.
Yep. Almost everything works.
Only bug now is that when you take a panorama picture, the preview of it is upside down. The ACTUAL picture is correct, however

Sorry I've been away, school has got me tied up.
I have successfully rooted it. Now how to install CM9 and/or Jelly Bean?
Ok it gets a little techy here, make sure to follow all directions carefully. It says you can access adb via recovery, don't go that way since "recovery" on the LG mytouch is simply a factory reset. This will actually replace that stock recovery with more extensive options and the ability to flash custom ROMs (cm9). I suggest using adb while fully booted up.

No no don't open any files just within Windows explorer, make sure you are clicking on a blank space, push shift and right click and select open in command prompt

The command prompt is where you type in the code that's in the tutorial you sent me right? I typed em and pressed enter but it doesn't recognize it. My phone is in debugging mode and connected to the USB port. Sorry if I'm giving you a hard time.

Nah, just glad to help. When you first open the command prompt you have to type in "adb root" (without quotes), then continue with the instructions in the guide.
