About SoftKeyZ Root

This application will let you change the Softkeys / Navigation Buttons fast and easily on your rooted Android device. This root app comes with more than 150+ different softkeys to choose from and the growing online database proivides even more user-submitted ones. If you got some navigation buttons you would like to see in this app just upload them to the gallery. Until I've added them, you can just use the import feature for these soft keys. This application needs root and "busybox" to be installed on non-nexus ROMs. This app will NOT overwrite your applied themes, or enable the navigation buttons on devices without them.

known problems:
-Sometimes your wallpaper can reset itself.
-The app is not compatible with most non-AOSP based ROMs
-Especially not working on the LG G3/G2.


-works great on Nexus devices and most Motorola devices!

WARNING: This app modifies system files and should only be used with a flashable backup of your current ROM on your device. The developer is not responsible for any damages.

What's Changed
Version 15.0.2 (BETA):
-Fixed a fatal bug with the "Restore backup" function.
-You can now choose the aspect ration that SoftKeyZ will use for the buttons. If you had a stretched back button, using '1 X 1.66667' might fix that.
-In case you encounter problems on Lolipop, use app "SE Linux Mode Changer" and set it to permissive.

Device : HTC desire eye , 5.0.2 sense 7 , root. When any keys are applied then the device restarts the system ui starts to crash and go full screen. This is only fixed if I apply the backup I made. I feel this may be an issue dealing with the sense theme app. I want to use your app but can't.

Great for customization although buttons were huge so needed to be resized then renamed. Used "easy image resizer" and "ES file explorer" apps to achieve this. It's a bit of a chore, but worth it.

Thanks for making this. I've tried other apps or done it by hand in the past. Other apps don't always work and doing it by hand becomes a chore when you update your ROM every few days. With this app just a few taps, reboot and you're done. :)

So my back button is now bigger than the rest, I have tried a couple of thousand of times and there is no way to bring it back to its original shape. My device is a rooted moto luge. Thank you so much for this great application!

When I tested the App, an ugly menu button was installed. Every change needs a reboot, so the time for refunding passes by very quickly. To recover a normal menu button, I had to purchase a second time, just for a normal look, and redund wad not possible.

C70%
by C####:

the app itself is great. the problem I have is that when I install the different buttons, the back key is always much larger than the other buttons. it is the same no matter which option I choose for the ratio of the buttons. it also happens with whichever pack I choose

For some reason on my 6p when I use this app it makes my navbar huuuuge. So annoying and I don't like. What am I doing wrong?

Phone is rooted, busybox installed and running, but after reboot no change at all! Waste of money

Great app! Make sure you are rooted and have busybox installed. This app is great and works like a charm! I wish you didn't have to restart every time though.

Nexus 6 on MM 6.0.1 caused me to lose my nav keys and status bar. Had to reflash stock 6.0.1 and start over.

Running cm12.1 nightly and it all works fine except the glow effects. Please fix

The app works but all of the themes ended up being HUGE on my 6p. It needs the ability to scale for newer phones screen resolutions.

Only can change what the icons look like not actual layout. Waste of money.

Works on the Nexus 10 running CM13 there are a lot of softkeys @ xda downloaded an iron man apk unzipped it and imported it to the app and voilà looks amazing. Pity it's not compatible with the LG G3 but I would gladly pay extra for a compatible version.

M70%
by M####:

doesn't work with Blisspop. After applying the configurations, the device screen goes black and doesn't restart. If you restart manually , the setup won't apply. It works with resurrection remix,though. And just to help out a bit, for those who can't make it work, probably you have already applied a theme that includes the navigation setup.To make it work, you just need to apply the navigation option in your system default theme after applying your setup of this app.

I tried to contact the developer about issues with it not enabling. They gave me the run around, and I wanted a refund which I didn't hear anything about. I am running a LG G Flex, stock rom, busybox installed with supersu.

Have you ever thought that the softkeys on your device sucked? Well, with this app, you have an extra layer of personalization. If the softkey doesn't work, you can always use a backup. Well worth the money. However, I do have one gripe with it; the back is usually stretched in landscape mode(1:1 or 1:1.66667). I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1(GT-N8013) running CM12 Nightly. It would be great if you would patch it. Edit: installed a new nightly, works perfectly.

Always Dope. I noticed it doesn't/ didn't work on a few Custom ROMs I was using. Don't know why, I figured it was user error or just issues with 5.1.1 . Still is an awesome app with great support...IMO it's apps like this that make Android the best.

Once it gets support for 6.0 and up, it will get bumped back up to 5 stars. I paid for this app, because I like it, but if it doesn't work, it's definitely not worth the money.

I had an issue with the default buttons getting improperly resized. I emailed the developer and it was fixed the next release.

Worked great untill I upgraded to Android 6.0 marshmallow. Will rate 5 starts once updated for new software I would also like to see integration with xposed gravity box so I can change the extra button it adds. But I won't hold my breath for that one. I am running Android 6.0 marshmallow on an HTC One (m8) with a Google play edition ROM installed and all of the latest firmware as provided by sprint.

I noticed that when using this worked great before enabling a CM Theme. What happens is unless the CM Theme for style is set to the default theme, than any other theme in CM theme you set basically overrides whatever theme you chosen in softkeyz :-( This also doesn't seem to work at all I lollipop :-( Would love a fix for this issue... Thank you
