[How-To] DIY SoftKeys Mods

[CJM]

The only way I try to overcome the brightness thing is duplicate the layer. Mostly for the White icons. That way the the image is bolder looking. The other way is a bit more involved & I'm not 100% on it myself.

So if I understand correctly while we are trying to research the adjustment bar, I can go in and add abother layer? I.E., I swapt the white softkeys in SystemUI.apk for ice blue. Reboot and then do it oger? This time adding the ice hlue on top of the ice blue?

Irony. It's what's for dinner.

No, duplicate the layers when I'm using gimp to make them.

wondering if anyone has been able to change the icons in the latest (builds 23 and 24) AOKP ROM's. i did it successfully using NinjaMorph in build 22, but as soon as build 23 was out, the images weren't sticking. tried metamorph and got the same thing. not really sure why, i have NEVER had an issue with ninjamorph, but for whatever reason, i cannot get the images to stick.

I havent tried aokp yet. The only thing I can think of is make sure you have the lastest version of busybox installed. Also, what metamorph are you using. I've seen the one from the market doesnt work well with the gnex. I use this one from droidpirate: http://droidpirate.com/android/MetaMorph.apk That should take you straight to the download. If it doesnt, the link is in the "How-To - Metamorphs" post here: Galaxy Nexus – droidpirate.com

its weird. Finally got it working. i did use the droidpirate metamorph, and had the latest busybox installed.
i would use ninjamorph and after adding the first image i would go to add the second image, but the first image never took.
i opened es file explorer, copied all the images, and pasted it into my androidthemes/workspace/systemuiapk. it said it worked, but when i went back and checked with ninjamorph it still didn't show.
so i plugged up to my PC, and checked it in there, and all the new images were in they systemupapk.
unplugged, checked again with ninjamorph and the images were there. finished the project and the images stuck. so it looks like i am all good now. Just weird that NM wasn't seeing the actual images until i hooked up to the PC.

That is weird. But glad it worked out for you.
