Sorry,
ICS LOOK not ICS
Hey guys, how's it goin'?
That's my first thread, so be nice to me OK?
Today, We'll try to get a ICS taste without needing to install a Custom ROM
Let's go:
We'll need:
-Root Browser lite
-ICS Icon pack V3 final
-Holo Launcher Plus (free version is okay too)
-Custom ICS search
-Holo Locker
-ICS messaging
-ICS dialer
-ICS Status bar
Instalation:
1°) Install Holo launcher Plus
Go to launcher settings > Drawer settings > Edit tabs : Then Edit "All" to "APPS" and recent to "WIDGETS" and put "custom" on the tab type, still here, select the apps that works as widgets. ex: fancy widgets, news and weather, etc.
2°) Install (flash) "ICS Icon pack v3.zip" via recovery (with the phone turned off press Home + Vol Up + Power)
3°) Install Holo locker and ICS Status bar
4°) Install the ICS dialer and replace the stock phone on dock for the ICS dialer.
5°) Do the same thing to ICS Messaging
6°) Let's change the build name ( optional), Steps:
a. Goto this location[root] /system/ by using any root file manager/explorer (ES File Explorer - Recomended )
b. Make backup of build.prop and open build.prop in any text editor (Recommended ES Note Editor, if you hace installed ES file manager)
c. Look for this line ro.build.display.id=GINGERBREAD and replace GINGERBREAD with ICS and also look for ro.build.version.release=2.3.x and replace 2.3.x with 4.0.3 and save it (as build.prop), make sure that you have backup copy to restore your system.
d.Restart your phone

why dont try extract from your rom (most of xperia rom stock or custom have it) , on zip/system/app/semccalendar.apk, install like usual. and calendar will show on your menu

Don´t have the semccalendar apk either, i tryied with one from Xperia S that it was supposed to work, moved to system/app, set the right permissions, reboot...but didn´t work.
Wasup guys, I'd like, if possible of course, an flashable zip with Jelly Bean icons not a "theme icon", I'd like the original ones!! Or a easy (i'm serious.. should be easy because i'm a noob!) way to change the icon directly on APK file but the problem is I'm a Mac user, theres's some apps you use that i can't use on my MacBook Pro!
That's it, thank you all.

Thanks! Another question, where can i find the icon's preview?
EDIT: I saw the video on youtube, so "everything" is gonna be blue?
EDIT 2: It works fine, but the Gallery icon and Contacts icon doesn't change! Is there anyway I can edit the zip contents and install after that?
[MOD] Transparent Statusbar & NavBar (36DPI) Odex 1.253, 1.307TW, 423, 244 & 267
Pls. read this first
I've found this mod doesn't work when lock screen is enabled and you use launcher other than stock that not support transparent status bar. When come back from lock screen, status & nav bar will become black. I've never used lock screen so i didn't know it, sorry.
As far as i know, there're 2 launcher that support transparent status bar on ZL, stock itself and Nova launcher (enabled in Nova setting -> look and feel -> transparent status bar). But they both transparent on home screen only as we all know.
If you guys only need transparent status bar & nav bar on home screen with Nova or stock launcher. You don't need this mod anymore. If you want small nav bar, just install glitschi667's mod an you're fine
But if you want transparent status bar with other launcher that not support (i've only tried Zeam launcher, i can't confirm others). Or you guys want additional transparent status bar when using some other app. Then this mod may help you, with sacrificed of lock screen (you have to disable it). Sorry for inconvenient
Upadate 2013-09-26: Added mod & restore file for 0.267 Firmware. I fixed big back button by following glitschi667 and APatte111's info. Other resources -: 36dpi mod are based on glitschi667's 0.244
Upadate 2013-08-07: Added mod & restore file for 0.244 Firmware based on glitschi667's latest 0.244 version
Upadate 2013-06-25: Added mod & restore file for 0.423 Firmware based on glitschi667's latest (experimental) version
Upadate 2013-06-19: I added mod & restore file for 1.307 TW Firmware. Just reOdexed android.poliy.jar file

Hello, here's my mod Transparent Statusbar & NavBar (36dpi) for my 1.253, 1.307 (Taiwan), 0.423 & 0.244 XZL Odex ROM. I'm totally noob for this stuff but i really need the mod so bad. Since there's no one do it so i have to googled around (97% on xda) to find the way. And after 3 nights plus a few tens of boot loop, i got this
Here's some note..
- Use it as your own risk (and bla bla bla )
- I mod the nav bar based on glitschi667's [SOFTKEYS] smaller, black, cwm flashable for 350,434 and 253 fw with 36 dpi version, so you guys will have 36 dpi nav bar after apply this mod too.
- I also supply restored mod with original android.policy.jar, android.policy.odex and mod 36dpi SystemUI.apk. just in case something goes wrong so you can use it to get working system back fast.
- I also supply restored mod with stock SystemUI.apk, SystemUI.odex, android.policy.jar, android.policy.odex and framework-res.apk. just in case something goes wrong so you can use it to get working system back fast.
- As a noob, I so borrowed flashable zip file from other mod (sorry that i can't remember) and throw my mod in it. So if you guys have some concerns, pls check my mod carefully before try it.

- On my home screen shot, i use MRL3GS's [MOD] Xperia Z Transparent Dock - 253 odex to achive more transparent home screen

Most of them yes, the bars are black. But not all
You can install it manually. but i heard that if you replace SystemUI.apk the system will get force close loop, you have to quickly press power & shutdown menu or force turn off device.

Well, i've checked small soft key mod in the original thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171768) and found it include framework-res.apk along with SystemUI.apk too. I'll try restore original framework-res.apk to my device. If i lost soft key like you so i need to put that file to the mod too. Thanks for you feed back
In the mean time, If you could, pls try install X_softkey_36_black_253.zip from the original thread and reapply this mod after it (don't forget to back up). May be it should solve the problem.
Hello, i've update mod and restore files in the 1st post. Pls check it out, thanks

I'm not sure, the original files are based on ver 1.253 so it might not work. Just back up you system and try it. If things goes wrong you restore just only system part back.

At ICS u can install Launcher to change that.
As my friend said above, just install any Launcher from the play store. Try searching Nova Launcher, Apex, Holo Hd, etc.
Find png's (can't remember names) from stock ICS (not SONY's) and replace them in drawable-hdpi
