Q&A for [MOD] On-screen navigation bar 23.3.23
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [MOD] On-screen navigation bar 23.3.23.

Nobody, anywhere, ever, is liable for anything you do to your device
Here is a flashable zip for the on-screen navigation bar on the latest OTA (23.3.23). It will also disable the capacitative buttons, but does not disable the lighting, although that can be done easily with GravityBox[KK].
Flash in TWRP recovery. Flash the revert file to return to stock to accept future OTA's.
Neither file should flash on any other system than 23.3.23 on the Droid Ultra or Maxx, so there is little to no risk of damage, but you are solely responsible for your device.

Gotta love the QA bot... Had no notification for your post. Anyway, I don't have an update yet for 24, but probably will tomorrow. It does appear that the update does have a patch for the framework file that this mod changes, so do not flash this version on 24. It should fail the compatibility check and abort anyway, but just don't do it lol.

Yeah, sorry, I've been meaning to get this done, just been crazy busy.
You'll need to have some form of apktool installed (I use android multitool, on mobile right now so no link, sorry). Pull framework-res.apk from system/framework. Decompile it using apktool.
In the decompiled folder, navigate to /res/values and open bools.XML. Notepad++ works great.
Go to around line 71 and change the "shownavigationbar" value from false to true. Then around line 178 change "config_showmenubar" from true to false.
Save the XML, and compile using apktool. Be sure to follow the directions to replace the manifest and meta-inf folder. I use 7zip for that.
Then, use 7zip again to replace the apk in the installer zip with the one you just edited. I would first make a copy of the installer and rename to reflect the new system version.
Finally, in 7zip, pull out the file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. Open in notepad++, and edit the ro.build.version.full line to match the new system. You can find this in the build.prop using root explorer on your phone. If this doesn't match, it won't install.
Save the file, and copy it back into the installer in 7zip, replacing the old one.
Flash and enjoy

So I started working on a theme for my note 10.1, is going good so far but ran in to a little snag. The problem is when iedit the notifications background it seems to shrink for no reason. The resolution of the image hasn't changed just modified the colour. As you can see in the image below 1 being where 2 should be. And number 3 has developed a gap for some reason even though it hasn't been modified,. Any help would be much appreciated.

Looks like you edited a .9.png file. You need to maintain the 9 patch when editing the file. You have to decompile the apk then edit images. If you look on the border of 9 patch images you'll see black dots or lines you need to make sure they remain solid black and do not edit or move them.

need to hold the power button and volume down button
[Disclaimer: this is my first use of APKTOOL. So, this may be a bit buggy, and I'll state that up front. No bugs so far, but feedback is appreciated and will be used to tweak/fix it up.]
I noticed some other ROM had done this, but I couldn't find it. So I modified the EasyOneHand.apk to attempt to make it have a black background, to save power and save your eyes in a dark room. After all, black pixels use zero power on an OLED screen.
[As luck would have it, the chef of the X-NOTE rom responded and told me his ROM was the one that had it. Of course, I didn't see his response quickly enough and I had already gotten impatient and did it myself, so I thought I'd post it anyway. Credit to him for the inspiration for my learning...]
I have attached my mod as well as the original stock files (APK and ODEX) for replacement. I have added an Update.Zip for those who prefer to let the magic happen automatically. There is also a dark version - just be sure to rename it and overwrite the existing file to install it. The dark version intentionally has white edges so you can easily see where the screen border is.
Extract this to your /system/app folder, overwriting the existing one. Be sure to delete the corresponding ODEX file if it exists. Set the permissions to the same as the other files in the folder (chmod 644).
Let me know how it works for you!
Updates
======================================
* Added Update.zip
* Added dark version (2013-11-17)
Screenshots
Before/After show the look before and after my mod.
Settings01-03 show how to enable one-handed mode and the built-in tutorial for how to use it. See the FAQ post below for details.
FAQ
Frequently Access Questions
=========================
But it didn't work!!! Did you reboot? You've gotta reboot, if you copy the file manually. Also, if using Update.Zip, it's best to clear cache/dalvik-cache.
Can I reuse or repackage this? Sure! Just give credit and send a link back to this thread.
How do I enable One Handed Mode? Look at the settings screenshots for details. You have to go to Settings -> Device -> One Handed Operation. Turn on "Use for All Screens." Then click the link at the bottom for the tutorial.
One handed mode is not working even after rebooting! Make sure you have all accesibility apps turned off.

Hi there! I tried to install this mod unsuccessfully by replacing the file as instructed, then tried to replace with the original files and didn't work either. tried to flash and nothing. So right now I lost the one handed operation. I´m kind of noob so I think I´m probably doing something wrong, or perhaps is a different version depending on the phone, I have a N900W8. If anyone could help me would be very appreciated.
EDIT:::
I found the solution by desactivating "any dash" app from accesibility. I think it has something to do with this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2465085&highlight=one+hand+operation

Thanks Slappy! This works great! (although the update.zip failed to work via TWRP recovery. Have to manually replacing the apk)
Suggestions
1. Change the frame of the windows to deeper color as it's still white which wastes bit battery.
2. I don't know if this is feasible. Can the One Hand Mode stay after unlocking screen?
3. Can it also work for landscape mode?
Thanks again for your great great effort!
it seems like your apk is from a rom earlier than mj6 thats why it is not working with accessibility ON...so please please update it with a newer apk from mj6 or newer

I'm working on darkening it today. I have been working through quitting my job and finding another, so have been occupied as of late... I'm going to change it from #ffffff to #222222.
As to points 2 and 3, it is not something I have looked into, but I'll do some research. I believe that it is just the way it works (in other words, TouchWiz only calls the app when it is in portrait and it does not allow it to survive a lock/unlock.)

I have added a dark version, as per your request. I was actually thinking about this for some time myself. The X-Note ROM author made an all-black version, but I found it was hard to tell where the screen edges were, so I went with a dark gray and left the edges white so you can see them better.

Most of the guides that I have found are for non HTC phones. I have a few links for you to check out. From what I have read, they are mostly framework-res.apk and android.policy.jar edits.
I have extracted the classes.dex out of the jar and tried to wade my way through all of the .smali files. It looks as if the GlobalActions.smali points to either GlobalActions3 or GlobalActions4.smali for reboot options.
The guides also point to certain edits which need to be made to the framework-res.apk. Mainly strings.xml. They say to then recompile, then decompile the new framework-res.apk and lookup certain hex values in public.xml.I thought I had it figured out, but then I saw that some of the hex codes were 4xxxxxx hex codes, which points to framework-HTC-res.apk. That's kindof where I got stuck because I could not get that apk to successfully decompile.
Looking at the GlobalActions.smali I saw references to com.HTC.resources, so I kinda knew this was to be expected. I seem to be having trouble getting the necessary framework installed through apktool to successfully decompile.
Additionally, I have taken apart quite a few Roms frameworks (Roms that aren't using Sense 5 toolbox or exposed mods) to try to decipher how they applied the necessary changes, yet they are all so different. Some look to have used arrays, others strings. I know the arrays are probably for multilingual options.
Links coming as soon as I get to my pc.

Not sure that Zarchiver is a tool for Decompiling and Recompiling .apks.
From what I have read about it, it looks more like a File Manager/Archiver.
@ PhoneGeek... for Linux I would have to say that apktool is going to be your best bet. You can find the XDA thread here. And the main page for apktool is here.

That is what I was originally trying to let you know. The one for the HTC MOD is device specific (HTC Desire I believe). I have gone through the .smali files as these guides instructed and noticed a wide variety of variance. If you decide to attempt the instructions per those guides, you do so at your own risk; especially if you have no idea what you are really doing. The Devs around here are labeled that for a reason. Chances are... they really know what they are doing when messing around with files that could deem our phones inoperable.
One bit of advice I will give you before you start messing with the .smali files, is to learn Java, if you don't already, and then head over to the Smali page and read through all of the documentation in their wiki (it will be hard to understand if you don't know Java though). After taking the time to learn these things, when you open up the .smali files you will have a better understanding of what you are actually looking at and how things are structured. For example, when you open one up, you will perhaps see some variance of :
invoke-direct {v0, v1, p0, v2}
Well, what do all of these v's and p's mean - what do they point to?
There are two naming schemes for registers - the normal v naming scheme and the p naming scheme for parameter registers. Confused?
Read the wiki! Confused by the wiki? Learn Java! This is really the best advice that I can give you. By no means am I downing you or questioning your intelligence. I am simply trying to help you by pointing you in the right direction. Spoon-feeding you all of the answers isn't going to help you learn. I am by no means an expert; not even dillusional enough to think that I am- though my wife may disagree!
In addition, when you get to the Smali page, on the Project home tab, there is a link for an IRC chat room and an example of how the entry level "Hello World" app is broken down into .smali.
Hope that I have helped, to at least point you in the right direction. If I have click the Thanks button!

I mean opposite, it probably isn't that hard and you can have it now if you do it yourself. Or ask for clues on how to do it instead of expecting someone else to do it for you.

Friday night I found out how to manually do it but java was being a pain in the butt and I wanted to test it before telling you how also so I could have the file to upload to you. Just so you know the file you needed to edit was the framework-res.apk not the .jar. the xml that needed to be edited was located at framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml
Decompiled it just fine but on the compile after I was done editing java was being stupid and the compile failed. Hope this information can help you in the future.

The alternative alternative would be to use the HotSpot Toggle Widget by Fattin.
I haven't tried it on 4.3 (have been putting off upgrading because of too many cons for the pros...) - but it bypasses all that verification stuff - still using the built-in tether.

Or edit the framework-res.apk yourself. I am glad I know how now because I will never need to wait for someone else to do it. well the only reason Iwould is if foxfi breaks in a update.

Where did you learn how to edit the framework-res.apk? I would rather know how to do it myself but my java skills are rudimentary at best (though I am a quick learner!!). What did you use to do the editing?
Thanks!
I downloaded a note 2 recovery zip of the modified apk. I then spent about ten minutes googling where the tether subscription checker was located then compared my apk to the note 2 apk. A lot of trial and error if you would like to see it old and slow has a edited recovery zip for the 4.3 tether (came out a day after I was looking for it so that's why I didn't choose that one). Just decompile both apk and look in framework-res.apk\res\values\arrays.xml. what I did when comparing it to the note 2 was open both of the XML in notepad++ and compare lines. I am confident I can now mod it without examples if it ever happens again. Finding a decompiler is the easy part there are a lot of free ones out there just Google it and as long as you can recognize every character in the XML (no odd symbols) it decompiled correctly. I could not find a guid on how to do this but I probably learned more from my errors than I would have learned from a step by step. Hope that helps and sorry if that made no sense typed it in a rush.

Oh and if you dig around in the apk long enough you might notice how easy (but time consuming) it would be to make your own custom modifications and themes for your own rom. I like doing it this way over xposed because no matter what I do xposed is super buggy for me.
Click here for original mod for the Moto X Play
This mod is not my mod
I just used the script from eskamhl Moto X Play version and made it work for the Pure Edition
Just download the file below and flash in TWRP and you are all set!
make sure to give this guy credit for this mod
Phone no longer has that annoying ascending anything, notifications are good as well.
If you want to flash back the ascending volume, Click here
Credit for the restore goes to rsa 329
Working for me! Thanks for posting!
Perhaps you should have this moved to the general section? More people may see it ... Just a suggestion

How do you have it moved? Should be in there. Thought it was. Ha. I posted it last night when I was basically sleeping.

Will this mod still work once the MM update is released?
I'm I the only one who likes ascending ringtones lol? I find it quite nice but hey that's just me
Thanks!
I was just thinking about how I dislike the ascending ringtones feature when I happened upon this thread. I know it seems/sounds stupid, but some of my custom ringtones and notifications lose their intended effect with the ascending feature. This solves that, so thank you both very much!
Thank you!
I really didn't like this ascending "feature"
Could someone who was smart enough (the patch script isn't) to backup the original audio_ext_spkr.conf please post this file, or its content (it's not much)? The fix works for me. I'm just curious and wanted to test something.
Thanks!

I have a nandroid with the old file but I am having an issue extracting it with nandroid manager. I'll work on it a bit and try to post something.

I haven't gotten a chance to test it yet, but do we know if changing that file will hit us with the Android Pay failure to validate system issue? The MM file has the same issues as lollipop.

I manually edited the file and, no, it didn't trigger Android Pay failure to validate. Actaully it is the only mod so far (with Systemless root and AdAway Ad blocking) that I was able to apply without triggering the Android pay failure.
Proven to work on my MXPE 6.0
Thank God, now the phone is worth having lol
Thanks for this, drove me nuts
-Moto X Pure-
Thanks. Worked on Moto E 2nd Gen also
