Softkey modding - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm interested in seeing what controls the soft key positioning in android to come up with a manual fix for moving the back button to the right. From what I could briefly find from searching it looks like a SystemUI mod but was wondering if anyone bad any more specific guidance?
Thanks

Figured it out never mind lol

Here try this one. I don't have stock but I pulled SystemUI and framework from the 5.0.1 factory system.img to build a new one.

Parse error doing what? Should just paste it on top of the other one and change permissions. Not sure where you are parsing at?

Be sure you're on RASTAPOP and not any other ROMs otherwise you'll go in a bootloop.

No the one I posted here is from stock 5.0.1 framework should be fine.

Has anyone tried the stock, rooted version yet? Do I just swap the new apk for the old one using a file explorer and change the permissions?

If you don't have root explorer it didn't appear to work well for others I'm not sure why. I can try to make a zip to flash I'll look into it tomorrow.

That would be awesome! I tried to do it with es file explorer. I changed the name of the old file. Placed the new one in the same folder, changed permissions for the new one and rebooted the phone. Upon reboot I had no navigation bar.

I can confirm it didn't work, stock unlocked rooted 5.0.1. Used root explorer to rename the stock ui to. bak, set permissions, reboot. No nav bar, volume buttons didn't work, no lock screen.

So, pull framework, unzip, replace res/anim, rezip, push back to /system /
Anyway you can make a mm theme or update.zip so we all can enjoy. Or just make it a .zip file so I can do it?

CM11s apks for CM11 nightlies.

Here's something I made for myself and thought I'd share. It's a zip file that deletes CM11 camera, gallery, DSPManager, and lockscreen replacing them with the CM11s camera, gallery, audiofx, and lockscreen. It also adds screencast apk and it backs itself up so you don't need to reflash between nightlies.
Woking good with latest nightly ? thx

Sure as long as the nightlies have something to offer over cm11s.
Does this include color control to change saturation, hue, etc?

Try reflashing(dirty) the rom and do not flash his zip.
Also what rom are you using? It may let us know why you are having this issue.

What are you wanting from the zip file. If your wanting the lockscreen try here just make sure you have a backup. If it doesnt work I dont think there is a lockscreen made for it. I will keep looking.
Is mahdi cm11 based? Dirty flashing wont work because the backup script will delete files that are causing the issue in the first place. You could wipe system and then reinstall/dirty flash which would get you back without using a nandroid backup.

Center clock mod

I came across this and wanted to share. It works great. I didn't make this, just found and wanted to share.
Make sure to backup your current system Ui. Apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2954426
Here. Is the original system ui files. Not a flashable zip. So unzip and replace the 2 files in system/privapp/systemui.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/b34xcg0iu2cb4wl/SystemUI.zip?dl=0
I'm getting offset carrier ID on the lockscreen with a different DPI
I have stock DPI and have the same issue. Probably has something to do with the fact the mod is for the N5 which has the DPI set to something else

I modded the nexus 6's systemui apk to center the clock, and make it gray. So far its working well enough. It looks a little weird on the lockscreen though, as it is not quite aligned with the other icons. Feel free to flash it and let me know how it goes. Backup your system first though.
I flashed it.. Nice work!
Hopefully we can see it removed from the lockscreen completely once the bugs are worked out.

No, because it will overwrite the recovery.
After running the flash-all script, the stock recovery replaces whatever recovery is on the device.
The flash-all script is not a flashable zip as you may be used to on the forums here.
It is a script that installs the files from your computer as opposed to using files in the zip on your device.

you could either replace the modified statusbar.xml with an original that you backed up or extracted from a factory image.

It's so basic every other ROM has it! I don't quite understand why the dev's decision to exclude it is because it takes up too much space. Is the Nexus 6P not one of the biggest phones out there? I'm sure the majority of ROM users adjust the dpi to allow for more space. And it's an option that can be enabled or disabled! The dev allows every other icon/text to be enabled/disabled, why not one more? The ROM is great overall though so it just sucks not having this haha.
Very cool!
