Limitations & supported devices
I developed this module based on AOSP source code and tested only on my Xperia devices. I expect it to work also on AOSP devices such as Google Nexus. You can try it on other devices but I don't expect it to work universally, especially HTC and Samsung devices because their framework is heavily modified.
If you enable this module and Tinted Status Bar together, the color for the Home/Menu/Recent/Back buttons will be controlled by Tinted Status Bar while the Search button color will be controlled by this module.
If you're also using GravityBox, you must disable Navigation Bar Tweaks. Otherwise, this module won't work.
Currently the following devices are supported: (to be updated)
Sony Xperia ZR stock 4.3 ROM
Sony Xperia V stock 4.3 ROM
