I have seen a couple people request this feature. I decided to share the method I use the original method I used to make the navbar dynamic. When I learn how to use github properly I shall reupload my build and start contributing again.
Note that this works with only material applications as it relies on a specific line attribute to pull the color and apply it to the navbar
This method is completely different from Paranoid Android's method which they implemented in kitkat. I have spent hours to figure this method out only to realize it was something so simple
No permission is needed to apply it to your private builds or to simply add it to your own phone of cource
Below are two ways how to implements this; one by decompiling the framework.res.apk and the other way is by editing source code
Implementing by editing source code
Navigate to frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/ and open themes_material.xml
Search for both instances of "navigationBarColor" and change it to the following:
Code:
<item name="navigationBarColor">?attr/colorPrimaryDark</item>
save and close and start your build
Implementing by Decompiling frameworks-res.apk
Decompile your framework-res.apk using apktool
Navigate to res/values/ and open styles.xml with notepad++
Search for the instances of "navigationBarColor". There will be 3 instances of it, you only need to skip the first one and change it to the following:
Code:
<item name="navigationBarColor">@color/black</item>
to
Code:
<item name="navigationBarColor">?colorPrimaryDark</item>
save, recompile and do your thing
Note: I think there is a problem with apktool as it makes the 3 dot menu laggy. So, the source method is recommended.

My issue was, the pop ups would have a weird dark overlay. Instead of changing all 3 "navigationBarColor" values, I just change the last two.

I get graphical glitches when I decompile/compile the framework-res.apk with apktool 2.0.3
For reference I am using adb root and adb remount to gain access to /system and then using adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
I changed only the last 2 like the poster above as well.

Like Sami said; there is no fix for it but if you don't want to use CM, you can upgrade your firmware from Odin.I sight Samsung Mobile these days.They're building new firmwares for I9070, not just new firmwares.They improved some libraries & framework.Maybe that will give more speed less lag.

Want to have the new Android L softkeys on your phone? Well, now you can!
To have these softkeys, you can download the icons attached to this post and put them into the appropriate drawable-?dpi folder in your decompiled SystemUI.apk.
Or, if you're not comfortable with decompiling apk files, just flash the attached 'Android_L_SoftKeys_Flashable_For_JB.zip' or 'Android_L_SoftKeys_Flashable_For_KK.zip' in CWM (not TWRP).
On JB and the 'Android_L_SoftKeys_Flashable_For_JB.zip' file doesn't work for you? Try the 'Android_L_Softkeys_Flashable_For_JB_2' file instead!
This zip will inject the icons directly into your SystemUI.apk. Which means you won't lose any of the other mods you may have done to it!
Oh, and this zip will make a flashable backup too! Just in case you don't like the changes.
Please note though...this zip will only work on Android 4.1 and above..
(Or, if you use Tickle My Android, why not just let the tool do it for you? I've just updated it with these icons!)
Enjoy!
Updated with a flashable zip!
Thanks

Because you've changed the height of your navbar. You need to edit your navbar.xml and remove the ScaleType attribute from the line that controls the back softkey.

1) Use Advanced ApkTool v4.1.0 and install it on your computer,
2) Download apktool v2.0.1 and rename it apktool.jar,
2) Replace the old apktool.jar by the new one in 1-BDfreak,
3) Launch Advanced ApkTool, install the framework, decompile your apk, do your modifications, recompile with sign and zipalign,
4) Open your new apk (with winrar for instance) and replace the META-INF folder and androidmanifest.xml by the ones of your old apk.
That's all
thanks..can you tell me what zipalign means and does? because previously i was just doing recompile and sign and i wasnt getting any problems

Just google it
zipalign is an archive alignment tool that provides important optimization to Android application (.apk) files. The purpose is to ensure that all uncompressed data starts with a particular alignment relative to the start of the file. Specifically, it causes all uncompressed data within the .apk, such as images or raw files, to be aligned on 4-byte boundaries. This allows all portions to be accessed directly with mmap() even if they contain binary data with alignment restrictions. The benefit is a reduction in the amount of RAM consumed when running the application.
Nice guide bro. Btwn signing and zip align is not necessary..

You must have apktool setup in the Windows path to run from anywhere
How it works:
unzip files
copy the scripts folder to the root of c:\
double click compile.reg and decompile.reg, this will add the entries to the registry
You can decompile and compile up to 10 at once. Not sure why its limited to 10.
This is tested working on Windows 10. Please let me know if it works for other versions as I will add that to the description.
Please do NOT ask how to setup apktool, you need to already know that much.
whats included in the zip...
compile.reg
decompile.reg
Maximum level of decompiling raised (V2)
scripts folder containing both .bat files
Download it here
Download V2 with raised level of decompiling here
Now to use it:
On an apk, right click and you will see a new option called Decompile. Select that, then it will decompile it in the folder you currently are
On an already decompiled apk folder, right click and Compile option will appear. Select that and it will compile the apk
Maxed_Apktool.reg
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"MultipleInvokePromptMinimum"=dword:00000999
thanks @Licaon_Kter for the addition.
decompile.reg
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Run script]
@="Run &script"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Decompile\command]
@="\"C:\\scripts\\decompile2.bat\" \"%1\""
decompile2.bat
Code:
@echo off
set args=%*
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion

Awesome I'll have to try this later ?
Great thank you!
Amazing work! Can I recompile an apk which hasnt been decompiled with this method? I've the folder so I can recompile?
I got it set up and running last night, works great! Makes things easier and faster. Just make sure you have apktool up and running correctly first.
DOWNLOADING for further test.. i'll report back later
thanks..

No, it has to be decompiled to recompile it again.
What is the newest version of APKtool? I found 2.2.2 on the site, but it seems to have issues with the Nougat files for my LG V20.
I've used it on Windows 10 and Ubuntu, same results.

Try that one. It says dirty, but that hasn't affected anything. I got that from somewhere when the v20 first came out.
And its what i am using for my v20 work. So i know that one will work.

Thanks! Have you done anything with SystemUI? I ran into issues after modifying it for 3Minit support.

[*]You can decompile and compile up to 10 at once. Not sure why its limited to 10.

Good find. Ill try that and see what happens.
According to the link it should be 15 not 10. I'm not at my pc now to test it.
But it says if you change it to 16, that's Microsoft's unlimited amount.
Maybe i can incorporate that into my registry mods.
Hi all, if this can decompile and re compile, can i change or modify a camera app to support 1440x2560 for lg g3 ? It currently only display well in 1080x1920, so i have to downgrade my display setting. Can someone be kind enough to direct me to which files or folder to begin with and do i have to create or modify some xml code ? Thanks

You're going to have to search for some camera mods. This can decompile the apk sure. But I've never edited the camera.
Thanks, nice tool.

Would you mind taking a look at these decompiled SystemUI APKs? I can compile the US_LG one fine, and also the TMO one. But the ATT one tells me there's missing resources, but all the edits made and files added are identical.
