This is just a mini theme version, anything related to litening battery will not work due to different framework.apk file which will affect the rom to cause it to freeze or infinite boot loop.

does this theme work on villainrom 2.3 as well mate ?

I think it should work as well as it does not affect the framework, but i'm not 100% sure as i haven't tested on vr rom. I would advice u to backup first before replacing files, if it work for u, let me know n i'ill update the post title. Cheers!

[MOD] Villain Theme System ( VRtheme ) for XXLSJ/XWLS8

While preparing JB Style for XXLSJ I've seen that we needed a proper VRTheme templatefor the new partitions ( /preload ) in our new systems. This will probably change in the future as Samsung releases the final version... but meanwhile... you can use this template to build mods.
No need to replace the entire SystemUI for battery images. This is not my work, I just simply adapted the original template.

i tried using it but went into boot loop..
all system\app files including systemui.apk which were before in systems\apps will be now in preload\symlink\system\app ??
or will the systemui.apk reside somewhere else ??
and the folders with the modified pngs will be named like systemui.apk ?? with the the extension ??
Thanks

exactly... in deodexed ROMs they're located in there ( preload\symlink\system\app ). If I recall correctly, in odexed ( stock fro sammobile source ) they're still on system/app.... check where they are before patching using a root file manager.

you have to recreate the folder structure of the file you're trying to mod
SystemUI.apk / res / drawable-hdpi ( for example )
Check one of my mods to see what I mean

are you using .9.png files? They must be compiled before so you can use them

Is that so? I never knew that
So quick question... If I change the hue of. 9 image I can't drop straight into an apk? It has to be recompiled 1st? If that's the case, that explains a lot. Thanks for the heads up on this. Every time I did this previously the image got distorted so i gave up touching them and just changed normal pngs.

[MOD][4.1.2][6.2.B.0.200][DEODEXED] Smaller On Screen Buttons

Today I will bring to you smaller on screen buttons to our Xperia S. As well as you know ,if you enable navigation bar by adding to build.prop the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" it will make you phone laggy. I modded some files and made the navigation bar much more smaller ,so it became more beautiful and the phone works very smooth ,without lags!
Note#1:
Tried only on 6.2.B.0.200 FW with niaboc79 "framework.jar" from his Honami's launcher port. So it's better to flash this port to get it work before using my mod. So that means that you must have a deodexed rom to apply my mod.
Note#2:
Before using this mod ,make a nandroid backup in CWM and also backup the files "SystemUI.apk" ,"framework-res.apk" & "framework.jar". I'm not responsible to any damage that will happen if you don't know how to use and install this mod.
Installation:
1. Download these 3 files:
framework-res.apk
framework.jar
SystemUI.apk
If you want transparent navigation bar & status bar download this zip
2. Copy them to your sdcard and with any file explorer move them manually to the folder "system".
3. Change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and move framework-res.apk + framework.jar to the folder system/framework. It will ask to overwrite these file ,click yes.
4. Change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and move SystemUI.apk to the folder system/app. It will ask to overwrite these file ,click yes.
5. Reboot you device into recovery and wipe cache partition + wipe dalvik cache.
6. If you want transparent UI ,move framework-res.apk + framework.jar to the folder system/framework ,reboot and flash the zip Transparent UI.
6. Done.
Known Bugs:
*Navigation bar overlap the camera buttons.
Status bar is transparent anywhere ,navigation bar only on home screen.
*Find and tell me
Screenshots(Big!):
Credits:
@niaboc79 for Honami's launcher port
@erorcun & @XperienceD for their guide compiling framework-res without bootloop
For me making this mod
Enjoy and give your feedback! This is my first mod

:good: Glad to see you got it sorted, and made a good contribution to this section. Copying and changing permissions gets tiresome when you've got a few files to install so this POST might be of interest to you.

the transparency is not full...there is a part that is not transparent, I can see it also on your screen shot...BTW I manage to remove the overlaping of the camera button to the OSB, and I didn't use your systemUI apk file...I just disabled the capacitive hardware keys and there it goes,,the OSB button automatically hides and show. here is a screen shot..I do not want to upload so I just attached it..take a look please..
BTW can you make it full transparent??Thanks a lot =)
The problem I encountered is that when changing the resolution of the camera to a aspect ratio of 4:3 there is a big black portion on the screen

Code:
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for a bricked device due to failure of following instrustions properly.
This is a guide to get the background color on the Now Playing screen to be a similar color to your album art on the Sony Walkman app (see screenshots below for examples). These files were extracted straight from a stock Sony Xperia Z3. This was tested and confirmed working on KitKat and Lollipop.
What you need:
Walkman app (see thread by MahaDEVELOPER to download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612397)
Root
File Explorer w/ root capabilities
Steps:
Download the .zip below and extract the files to your device.
Copy the file com.sonyericsson.colorextraction.xml to /system/etc/permissions and set permission to rw-r--r.
Copy the file com.sonyericsson.colorextraction_impl.jar to /system/framework and set permission to rw-r--r.
Reboot device.
Now play a song using Walkman, and you should see the change.

This should work on any device, theoretically. Can you try replacing the original com.sonyericsson.colorextraction_impl.jar with this one? Copy to /system/framework and set permissions to rw-r--r--.

On your Sony device? I'm pretty sure the correct permissions are rw-r--r-- for all framework and permission files.

its funny, i tried 2 different material walkman apk and both of them doesnt have the .jar file, for CM 12 users, maybe they just need to move the jar file only. i was wondering for a long time why the colors dont change. :fingers-crossed:

I believe that most Sony stock ROMs include this already, however, if yours doesn't, then it's compatible.

Actually you no need to decompile it, just change the .apk to .zip.
The only thing to do is push the OP files into the ".zip".
After that rename .zip to .apk, and push to system.
You're done.
Hit thanks if I helped!
Note: The Z3 framework-res.apk don't have "value" this file. I tried to force push and it give me bootloop.
Note 2: Trying to use another method: compile the .apk by replace the zip.

sorry to bother you again @Pandemic I've just noticed all animations are very smoooth,but i found a small bug with the three-dot-menu animation...this animation is slow. I attached a screenshot so you will know which animation im talking about

2.Recompile and push to phone
