Why was the navigation bar disabled on this ROM? There are not even softkeys on the status bar :( please have some consideration for cellphone users who sometimes drop their phones on the toilet (my hardware keys don't work because of this)

I tried enabling them by editing the framework but I'm new to this and the framework has a weird .odex format...

Please, please for the love of God enable this feature ;- ;

Thanks.

I'm not going to add a feature to enable this. If you can edit the framework-res then go right ahead...

I can edit the framework-res, but don't I need to edit the framework.odex for the modification to work? Furthermore, there are no lines about the navigation bar on the vool.xml file on your framework-res :/

Well, sorry to bother you and thanks for the answer.

I edited the framework-res.apk, changed the settings required for the navigation bar to work, it doesn't work, it gives a bootloop. :/

Ok so I did a little research and the navbar is not disabled in the rom. BUT...
The config_showNavigationBar is NOT in values/bool.xml but in values/config.xml

Also the odex file is created when making an "odexed" rom. Grab the android kitchen and deodex it... it will put the odex file back in the apk. I don't know why you have an odex file in your rom because my rom is not odexed. That is quite weird...
Just to be on the safe side grab framework-res.apk from the zip file and modify it.

Now a question to you since this just popped in my mind... Are you sure you are using the ICS version of the rom? The ICS version in deodexed BUT the GB version is odexed...

There is no config.xml in the values folder :/

I did a search in all the folders and there is no "config.xml" on the framework-res.apk from the oxygen-for-p500_1.0.0 ROM. :/

About the odex thing it seems I was trying to edit the 2.8 version (GB), with no luck.

Be sure to clear dalvik and cache after pushing to the phone.

It worked like a charm, thanks a lot for this. :D

Could I ask you what files do I need to edit in order to add the menu button on the navigation bar? I have only two working buttons on my phone and I keep remapping them in order to keep using the phone. ._. !

I have no idea... I think it's a bit more complex than editing one file...

NVM, the button is there, it just changes to a 3 squares animation on apps and stuff, thanks for taking your time to help me. (:

Hi guys, this procedure is always good for the 1.1.0 version of this rom? If not, someone can write a little "how to" and I will try to do this on my own. Thank you very much for your help.

I think that the navigation bar is the only thing that lack in this rom, if you want to add it in your rom, I think that a lot of people appreciate it.

Mihai, a special thanks for all your hard work, your rom is awesome!

(Sorry for my English, I do my best.)

I enjoyed the discussion above and share your concern for inclusion of nav bar in Oxygen ICS 1.1.0 ROM. Did you get a solution, if so please help me to resolve the issue.

Yes, he gave me a modified framework that enabled the navigation bar, let
me get home and I'll upload it for you, if you can't wait you can use the
LMT launcher, it enables the PIE control and it works better than the
navigation bar anyways. :D
