Deactivating status bar toggles - Sony Xperia ZL

I don't have the Xperia zl right now but am planning to get one if it gets released in Germany but maybe some of the owners can help me out with my question.
I saw that the Xperia z and zl have toggles in the status bar. Can they be deactivated in settings? If not, Is it possible to edit the systemUI.apk or maybe another file in the system to remove them?

They cant be took away by a simple setting, But May be able to be removed via messing with the SystemUI. Not sure why you would not want them though.

I want them removed because I don't like their style and rather use widgetsoid for status bar toggles, but having both looks ugly so I would like to remove the stock status bar toggles.
Maybe someone can give me a tip which file to mess with to remove them.

Can you add/delete some of the toggles? Which are available?

Thank you :good:

Another question I got while reading through the XZ forum: As both, XZ and XZL, are the same regarding OS and hardware it should be possible to use Mods on the ZL designed for the Z? I think custom roms is another field as there should be differences with for example the baseband but mods should work or am I completely wrong?

Any update on this? Could someone make a guide on how to remove the toggles?

Now that we're at modifying the SystemUI I have another question related to this topic. Is it enough to rename an icon (for example the one used for stamina mode) to remove it from being shown in the notification bar? As I read through some topics and looked at screenshots there are some icons I would like to remove from displaying when I get my Xperia ZL.
As the Xpeia ZL has an odexed ROM I guess I have to first deodex it, there is an guide of tickle my android I guess that describes how it is done, I guess it can be applied to the XZL?
Thanks in advance for answering.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

You might want to check the Xperia Z thread as they have been doing this and that phone has had a good head start in terms of XDA dev. Since they are quite similar, the mod might work for the ZL as well.

I read through the Xperia Z forum but didn't find a mod that could remove the toggles, did you found one?

Ok, I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38723261 mod in the Xperia z forum but the link isn't working. Maybe if we all ask the guy to put another working link he'll put it up because so far he hasn't reuploaded the link for the 3 people who've asked him to.

It should be as simple as finding/replacing the smali code to match the mods for Z. I'd have to take a look at it, but if the Z/ZL are indeed the same then all the mods should work.

sorry really is beyond my control i literally just switched out some images and got some better images to match the ics i didnt create that mod. if you can ask the original mod creator to change the order and then let me know i will add it to the ics theme again.
hope this helps
i will also add have you tried scrolling the widget bar left and right it had more widgets than can be shown by sliding it
also when in landscape you can see all of them.

I was just wondering about this yesterday. I was on Sony's sight from Finland looking at some of the videos of the T and TX. They look to have quite a few added features. The TX is water resistant like the Acro. Nice find.

I can't say I've noticed the difference in the Home.apk, but the SystemUI provides stock notification bar toggles (not customizable), and the LTE symbol being back is nice. The new SystemUI also feels smoother but I can't say for sure. I plan on trying out some of the other stock apps (Calendar, Conversation, Photo Editor, etc..) soon. I'll report back.

No difference in the photo editor and calendar.

I've changed back to my modded SystemUI, the stock GX notification bar toggle just weren't flexible enough for. So far it looks like everything is pretty much the same.
One promising app is that "location based wifi", that turns off wifi once you're out of range. Not sure how it works or if you need locations enable for it to work, but it could be pretty handy.

No difference that I noticed, but I was already on ICS .233, just wanted to see if anything changed or improved with the GX software. The only improvement I saw was the SystemUI and the notification bar toggles. If we didn't have mods, than I would keep using it. Two things I didn't like about the GX toggles; every time you turn on data you had to confirm and no customization, so no GPS or Brightness.
Oh I see. No change from ICS. Will you post a screenshot of the calendar. Im still on Ginger.
Sent from my LT28at
This is also a early dump of a yet to be released device. From what I can tell the Mint is the T and the GX is now the TX. So maybe once the dumps from these devices leak we may see some difference or new stuff. Good to know its so easy to port things on Sony devices though.

Just like it says on the original thread, change permissions (rw-r--r-- ) and move it to system/app then reboot.
The toggle on the mods section are better than the stock gx toggles imo. I switched back a while ago.

[SOLVED] Move Signal & Wifi Icons to the left & Enable Carrier Name on the left side

[SOLVED] Move Signal & Wifi Icons to the left & Enable Carrier Name on the left side
I need help in editing my xml file(s) to do the following things:
Moving Signal & Wifi Icons to the left side of the statusbar
Enabling Carrier Name on the left side of the statusbar
Centering the clock
Change all text color to white
1% Battery Animation
And the order of the icons from the very left will be: Phone Signal - Carrier Name - Wifi Signal
Center part will only be a clock and put notification on the right or just disable notification on statusbar and leave things on the right side as it is.
I'm using MaclawStudio's CM11 and if you can help me, I've attached my SystemUI & framework-res on the attachment. I really need someone to edit the xml file(s), 'cause I've tried it and it always ended up with bootloop. I'm currently working on a project for Ace II stock ROM and CM11 (Custom ROM) and I need to edit the SystemUI ASAP.
P.S: Please try to edit CM11 SystemUI first. If it fails, I will upload stockROM's SystemUI. Thanks for the help
Thanks before

Just a bit information since you've been trying to help as well, I've finally able to move the icons to the left (wifi-mobiledata-customtext-notifs), sadly center clock ended up missing and I still haven't resize the text size.. I still dont know how to exchange placement of wifi and data signals and battery still wont change.
Just wanna give a quick heads-up and I guess it wont be long now wish me luck

Also i know how to change app name by android manifest.xml with android:label="string/app-name" if that was the name you should go to res/values/string.xml and locate it. Sorry no offense also.

In order to remove red beta build text, you have to delete line 14 from music.xml, located in res/layout and res/layout-v21 folders
Code:
<com.sonyericsson.music.ui.VerticalTextView android:textSize="8.0sp" android:textColor="#ffff0000" android:id="@id/version_overlay" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="?android:actionBarSize" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" android:elevation="100.0dip" />
