I don't want to change my rom
any ideas ?

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

Decompile you framework_res.apk, (res/values/bools.xml), open it in notepad c++, find line "<bool name="config_showNavigationBar">false</bool>", change false for true..working in any ROMs...

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

no port is needed, they just need activating. But no point till a final product is made as it means going through the prosess every time.

Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
yeah it works on activating
but we already have hardware buttons for simulation..
so activating those would take up space on our screen and for keyboard things i really don't think its worth including

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.
cmon, the thread is three months old

[Request] weather in lockscreen

I saw in the galaxy s3 mini and in cm 10 that there is a weather widget in the lockscreen but it's not in the Samsung firmware. I don't know if someone can port it but it would be great.
Sorry for my English I'm studying.
Flash CM10 then you have it
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
@martin_carpio17 and I are currently working on this... Although I found the way how to enable it on the lock screen, for some reason it cannot find my location - therefore only an error message is displayed on the lock screen instead of actual weather information....
You try my method but I can't guarantee that it'll work....
Enabling Weather on Lockscreen is just a bool value in framework-res.apk (the feature was always there but disabled by Samsung)
Just go to "framework-res\res\values" open bools.xml and look for config_isWeatherWidgetEnabled... change it to "true"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think some other values needs to be added or changed... donno that yet
Me too and still "unable to display weather data"

You need to decompile framework-res.apk first... Otherwise you won't get values folder....
After that you will surely get it... Then just go to res/values folder and open bools.xml with notepad++
Scroll down and then you will see something like "config lock screen widget" change it to "true" then recompile it and copy the AndroidManifest.xml and mwtainf folder from the original apk to your newly made apk...

Lol I found this weeks back.. but I never shared it with anyone.. I wanted to keep it as a surprise in my ROM
and right now I'm really busy with my ROM's UI... kind of stuck at how to differentiate it from other ROMs
I'm going for a Black UI.... and Here's a sneak peak; although this is not "finalised" yet...
I found a guide in this section and it works!

That wud be a little far fetched
Changing rom for toggles
But if it is feature packed it wud be good
Also he wanted some specific toggles so it wud be better if he remade systemui himself
