Since i hav seen those Xperia phones running Lollipop i love its softkeys icons. Is there anyway to get it on our moto g2?
Who else want this on your phone?
I think we can do it just by chamging some png in system files! But still not sure! Anyone can post the tutorial or any other help?
Thanks
Download SoftkeyZ from Play Store. You must be rooted.
No further instructions needed.

What mods are you trying to install? I can tell you that some modifications don't like Sony firmwares... And that could probably be the cause.

SoftkeyZ was working for me on Android 4.4 CyanogenMod, so it probably has not been made to work with Sony firmware. And for the second mod, you already have the answer. It is only compatible with Android 4.4 and causes a system crash when installed on Android 4.3.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do.. Unless you know how to modify SystemUI and change the icons or port the Xperia Keyboard to android 4.3.
But, if you really want these mods, then install Android 4.4 CyanogenMod because it is compatible with a lot more Xposed mods and other applications..

You don't necessarily need to unlock bootloader to install custom rom, but I would personally suggest you to stay away from installing a custom rom if you have never done so earlier on any other phone and you aren't really an advanced user. Sony's 4.3 is quite good if you are lucky enough not to face lags. I would like to suggest some good modules for sony firmware which you might want to try out -
1) GEM Xperia xposed
2) Flat style coloured bars (for lollipop styled statusbar and navigation bar colouring)
3) GravityBox (you need to be a bit careful with this one)
4) Hide stamina mode icon
5) SEMC phone patcher
6) Xperia flip settings (replaces xperia toggles in statusbar with cyanogenmod styled ones)
Don't forget to read the module description before installing to understand what it does. Enjoy (Y)

Hello,
I have an Xperia Z3 Compact and am looking for a way to change stock system app icons (ideally without using another launcher). I am aware you can use an apk tool to decompile, replace icons and recompile an app, but that doesn't work with system apps like Settings, Camera and Phone. Those cannot be dumped by an apk tool. Do I need root for this? How do I proceed? Please help :crying:

Hi, currently there are bunch of applications on the marketplace (e.g. Desktop VisualizeR) able to create custom shortcuts (i.e. allowing custom icons usage) on home screens.
As far as I know, however, rooted or not, there is no possibility to change icons system-wide, so they will stay the same in app-drawers, app pickers, task managers, etc. EDIT: Oh well, not for free!
If you, like me, find that icons for Sony applications are a bit dated yet you do not want to abandon their super fast launcher, you can always wait for the upcoming Lollipop update, which hopefully will bring us a UI overhaul

If you are root You can use unicon to change icons with stock launcher.

Using unicon, this is the stock launcher
Hello all,
I've made some changes in my navbar, specially using Xblast Tools but now I want to change some configs I've made and it's not possible (yet). Does anyone know how can I "restore" the navbar to its original one with no configurations, or something to make me clear it?
Thanks in advance.
btw, I'm using stock ROM in Moto X 2014.
Hey,
I am trying to make my Xperia SP look as close to the Xperia Z3 as possible. I already flashed the SystemUI port, a custom theme, the apps, etc...
What I'm missing though is the transparent persistent google search bar from the original Z3 pictures...I've searched everywhere and didn't find such a port for other devices...
Have you guys found anything similar?
Thanks in advance
