You can have nav keys by just simply adding a line to the build.prop
1. Enter the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" in build.prop in system folder
2. Reboot ,enjoy
Note: it works for almost all devices i don't know if it will work for you device (it works for mine running cm10) have a nandroid backup with you before trying. I am not responsible for any damages.

On screen navigation buttons - framework-res.apl

Hello,
I wanted to share the modified CM9 framework-res.apk which will enable the on screen navigation buttons. Works fine on my CM9 SGS2 04/27 nightly.
Might be a help to users with faulty home buttons, or those who wants a different look. I am planning to modify the layout a bit as per the thread by evilisto in Q & A section.
Just thought will post this in case someone finds this useful.

So this gives us the on screen buttons like the nexus?
Will it work on Omega v11.1?
Cheers

As i'm not a developers i have not learned how to do all these fun things yet is it as simple as opening it up in notepad? I simply use ktoonez flash-aholics tool. I installed this rom coming from his port of miui. So my build prop was probably i9100 to begin with.
Yes it involves editing a build.prop file. Simple error fix. Phone needs to be recognized as the internatonal version.

I see I opened the file up on my phone and it seems relatively simple. But doesn't formatting system reset this?

Got it download alright. I came from Turkbey. No problems. But I have the font set on huge and its still to small for me. The dock bar is small too. I loaded Apex on it could this be the problem with everything looking tiny?

The dpi on this rom is set to 182 instead of the default 254. To change go to settings,ass(advance slim settings, and I think its under general ui

Apparently not since I did format the system and still got errors.
What I ended up doing was restoring my AOKP backup. Then I used Root Explorer to navigate to /system/build.prop, long press that, select edit with Text Editor. Changed all SGH-I777 to GT-I9100.
Installed fine after that using the OP instructions.

Soft keys are old fashioned, you can emulate all those keys via gesture control even without losing screen space give it a try.

You have to decompile the app with app manager and not with 7zip.
If you don't know how to do it and you want to learn Google is your friend

Happened to me before when I did flash the wrong status bar for the firmware version or odex/deodexed version.
You can try a dirty flash of the stock rom without wiping data or moving the SystemUI.apk into the appropriate folder, give the permissions correctly and restart the phone (not sure if this would work though).
yeah actually i thought about that..but im keeping that option for last xD...how did you solve the problem?

for what? flashing a rom? have a look in the general section's stickies, there is a guide on how to.
If you have a nandroid backup just restore.
Otherwise reflash your rom and restore data.
just move the original systemui to /system/app and set the correct permissions.
and if you should have a backup if you followed the instructions
i dont have a backup :/
how do i fix permisions??
