I've been working for a while on how to get any softkeys I wanted on my G4. It is posible to do so with xposed modules like xstana or nexus navbar but these have built-in navbars and if you don't like them you're stuck. I loved softkeyZ because you could use any png file not only pre-made icons. I usually used Photoshop touch on my Z3 to mod my navbar icons and apply them with softkeyZ. Unfortunately this app doesn't work eith the G4. But let's fix that. This method makes you get basically any png file as your navbar softkeys meaning you can grab any themes' softkeys and just apply.

}
Prerequisite
-Root and Xposed framework
-Xstana prime
-Softkeys of your choice
Tutorial
# If you have xtstana prime it is easy use the personalized feature and choose your png from your gallery and not android's default document picker.See attachment 1-3. Choose scale type to be cetre crop or fill from the settings icon after this.And you're done
1.If you don't have softkeys download softkeyZ and open it then check the folder the app created on your internal storage for png files. You can also find any softkey online or ask a theme developer or diy.
2.Resize them following attachment 4-5 .Normally the deault size should be 144x144. You need to increase it to 192x192 or more not less.
3.Your icons may not look crisp again if your only increase the size of the image. Use the Bevel feature like in attachment 9 .
4.Save and then extract the icons to your gallery the follow # above to apply them.
Hope I helped please! Hit thanks if you appreciate:good::highfive:
Is this something different than using the Xstana module on Xposed? That works fine, but Softkeyz does not work.
project finished now you can hop into the thread.

no! only 2...
Yes its possible to have more on dock. Open app drawer. Menu, edit. Drag apps down ;-)
It's the same on all touchwiz versions I'm sure...
Hmm doesn't really fit our screen. There is a big gap between dock and first row of homescreen icons. Icons seem too small too.

ALL CREDIT FOR APLICATIONS MUST BE SHOWN TO THE DEVELOPERS !

Have a launcher that enables you to:
-Divides the screen into as many parts.
-To hide statusbar.
-To hide dock.
I use ADWLauncherEX
The first to be have saved icons you use.
( WP7 icons )
Download from PlayStore:
-Desktop VisualizeR
-DVRSizeConfigTool
-DVRImageCrop
-DVRImageSlicer
In launcher settings set the number of columns and rows
The selected widget DVRSizeConfigTool
Click on it and set (10x10)
After setting top left and bottom right of the screen, eliminate widget.
The selected widget Desktop VisualizeR
Selected 1x4 and change 1x6
And so continue with all other
Select screen widget
Touch select icon
Touch Add-ons
Touch DVRImageSlicer
Eliminate white frame
Touch select image
Touch Screen Size Images
Touch first button in left parts (telephone) and select Screen Size Crop.
Select image and save.
Select yes ( Last Image? )
Touch image
Select action and touch none
And so continue with all other
For selection touch Use Last Image
You want eliminate widgets for "efect".
For the five icons use DVRImageCrop (not frame).
I HOPE TO BE HELPFUL!
SORRY FOR ENGLISH!

you can check on the Module Collection thread, maybe you'll find what you want there
i did search there.. don't think such a mod exist yet.
XBlastTools can do that.
if you are talking about the 'holo theme' in visual tweaks , i tried that, nothing changed.

It is a Samsung device. You can tell specifically from the menu theme itself.
Edit: This would be the module that should be able to change to the holo theme for you:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ma.wanam.xposed
But could depend on which update you are on as well.

Honestly didn't even check the pictures lol.
I've looked quite long for this mod, finally!! Maybe im just slow
A theme with simple dark background in settings menu
And it is possible, and it's looking okay. except for the status/nav bar color
(but that can be sorted with translucent effect with another app, but i didn't bother)
I just wanted to share.
1. rooted device with supersu
2. xposed framework installed (http://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk)
3. download Holo Themer module from inside framework
4. select 'settings' from the list and choose dark and save
it's possible with other apps too

Wow, I always had black themes on my phones and this is one is good as well. Well, have to wait for a new root method.
I do believe root isn't necessary for something like this, I for example use the Material Orange L, and it works for everything on my phone.
There are a few themes on the Play Store e.g. Theme eXperiance™ - Space. I am a bit new to android but I did program in java a few years ago.
I will eventually get to tempering around with the themes and making a black orange one as it is my dream theme
(unless someone makes one before me).
Please do this. I tried it and did not succeed. I never figured out how to change the font color in settings. The background is quite easy but the font color is a different story. I have to change it to white so that it is readable on a black background.
Send me the apk/source pls

I use the following theme: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.maksmayer.themes.abstractlime&hl=en
I only changes the semc_bg_light_tile.png into the dark version. The Problem now is that I need to change the font color to white or something bright so that you can read the text on the dark background.
Please keep in mind that the theme has to work without root, so I can't use XPOSED.
I attached the modified version of the theme to use the dark background.
It would be great if you could tell me what file I have to edit to change the font color.
Thanks.

Hello guys. A couple of months ago ffalete and me prepared a xposed module it LG G3 to a telephone. We did not like us Lollipop navigation icons, so we wanted to return to the old KitKat icons. I thought, if it works, this method is LG G4. I do not have such a phone, so I could not test. But a friend (Nagytoll) of mine helped me , and so we were able to test it. And yes, we have seen it work. And since it is a module, if you do not like something or not working well, it can turn off...
Three sizes are:
size "A" = Big
size "B" = Middle
size "C" = Small
One at a time (1) module is active or installed. Tested: Stock rom and Genisys Rom 2.1.

Currently only KitKat are icons, but soon to come:
Biohazard icon theme:
N51 icon theme:
Snake theme:
and much more....here you can watch the themes.
Any comments, tips, ideas, bugs, please write me an e-mail: [email protected]
Note: In this module, so we can put icons as you want. Need to add a little bit of knowledge: using Adobe Fireworks and use apktool. That's it.

Xstana is work on Lollipop? In this I was not sure / do not know. In this module, it is even good that it can do custom navbar icons. But, thanks for the tip.

Xstana isn't working properly on my LG G4 H815, it causes lag when using status bar and nav bar themes. It makes the app menu unable to open and I can't access apps through ROM Toolbox, either.
it opens but just takes very long.. dont know the reason why...
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
When using only nav bar, it opens after roughly 10-20 seconds. When using both, it doesn't open or it takes so long I've been too impatient to wait longer I'll try only status bar later, but I've stopped using Xstana for the time being.
