[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
Upadate 2013-06-07: I've update mod and restore files. I've tested them back and forth a few times so it should work this time, at least the restore mod
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.
- As a noob, I so borrowed flashable zip file from glitschi667's [SOFTKEYS] smaller, black, cwm flashable for 350,434 and 253 fw and add/replace my mod files 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.

got a bug.
got a problem with listening via external speakers - the volume control doesn't work and the volume becomes fixed to very low level. with headphones no problem: volume is normally controlled. once again thanks for the restore_back_file. the problem is gone after returning back to stock. Hope you can fix it.

Is there anyway to change my statusbar background ? I remember i could do this some time ago but i can't remember the ROM i was doing it on or if it was a mod.

Thanks!

Use my xperia themes xposed module.
That may help if you are able to choose transparent colour hex code.

Can you use Xposed Framework.

The vrtheme version should work.
Now that I've managed to root my M9, is there a way to change the look of the status bar and navigation bar (icons)?
Do I need to be S-OFF?
I have done something similar on a previous (Sony) phone using Xposed. is Xposed compatible with the m9?
Thanks
PS. I'm using Stock Marshmallow rom
Change the theme... I think some themes change those too..

I've tried themes but they only change the nav bar icons.

Xposed is running fine here, but I haven't used it for changing status or navigation bar.
Why not try substratum?
