Hey Guys DJ here! I thought to make this guide for all people who want smaller onscreen keys/softkeys/navigation bar [the home,back and recent apps keys] on their Xperia Z. People would say that you could've provided some framework-res.apks with different sizes of softkeys! But they would be size specific and people have their own choices hence I am telling you guys how to make them yourselves! By the way this works on all android 4.+ devices!
What's the advantage of doing this? You get a bigger screen as your apps get rescaled automatically!
First of all Your Xperia Z should be rooted ,DEODEXED and unlocked! You can refer to DoomLord's tutorial for that!
You should have the knowledge on how to use flashtool or how to create nandroid backups in clockworkmod recovery incase something goes wrong!
Disclaimer:
You are doing this on your own risk , blah blahblahblahblahblah!
By the way cmd means command prompt window!
Let's Begin:
First of all make a backup of your rom by going into the recovery ! Its good to have one incase something goes wrong!
To DO on your XZ-
1) Install root explorer
2) Navigate to system/framework/
3) Copy 'framework-res.apk' and 'SemcGenericUxpRes.apk' from that location to your SDcard.
4) Now connect your XZ to your PC.
To DO on your PC-
1) Install apktool v3 [you can find it easily on google! ]
2) After you are done with installing apktool open a cmd window in that location [ you can do that by right clicking in that window while keeping the shift key pressed, then click on the open command window here option from the drop down menu which appers].
3) Copy framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk from your SDcard to your PC to the location where your apktool files are present.
4) Now in the cmd window which you opened earlier you need to type some commands -
apktool if framework-res.apk
now press 'enter key'
then
apktool if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk
press enter
The above 2 lines have installed the framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk to your system which the apktool will later use as resources to decompile the framework-res.apk
now we need to decompile the framework-res.apk, for this type
apktool d framework-res.apk framework-res
it will perform a series of functions just wait for it till its finished!
when its done you will see that there is a new folder 'framework-res' in the window[location] where you have installed the apktool!
navigate to framework-res/res/values/
open dimens.xml using noteped++[yeah forgot to say that you need to install this too! ]
look for the lines 'navigationbar height' and navigationbar width'
the default size would be 48! just reduce it to what ever you want! 28 is recommended by me ! height = 28 and width= 24
Save the changes.
Now switch to the cmd window again
We are going to re-compile the framework-res.apk-
type-
apktool b framework-res framework-res-new.apk
when its done then you will have the new framework-res-new.apk with smaller softkeys!
5) Now copy it to your SDcard
6) Disconnect your XZ
7) Open root explorer in your XZ.
8) Copy the 'framework-res-new.apk' to your system/
9) Long press it and click on permissions
10) set it to rw-r--r--[1st row + + - ; 2nd row + - - ; 3rd row + - -][+ means ticked and - means unticked]
11) once done , rename the 'framework-res-new.apk' to 'framework-res.apk'.
12) Copy it to system/framework/
13) Press Yes when it asks to replace the original.
14) Then reboot your XZ [it might force reboot itself].
15) Done! now you have smaller softkeys! Enjoy!
Please report the results as I don't have an Xperia Z but this method has been tried and tested on my Xperia Neo V by me!

And you can mod "density" in build.prop to a smaller value to get a "larger" screen, too. Try it if you think that you can manage smaller buttons.

Well that doesn't work much well!
You see I had once done it on stock and almost all the apps of playstore became incompatible with my neo v!
As when we decrease the dpi we are decreasing the resolution too! I changed mine from 240 to 160 and xperia home stopped working along with many other apps!
Its safe to change dpi on roms like paranoid android! But its not recommended on stock!

1) probably won't work with NXT framework, needs a different method like XS, Sola, P, U etc
2) don't post a guide in development unless you know it works.

I know. But if you do it you have to choose the next "proper" density.

Wait a minute. The navigation bar is not black?
If that's the case then it's good news. I thought the contrast was terrible.
So yes.. would love to see mods with black nav bars and also customizable positions and functions.
anyone who did this on his XZ can he share the files? or can make a cwm flashable zip?

hi guys,
I'm trying to port the new XperiaS Launcher to other android devices and our device but i need some help...
The first time i tried to install it it failed because of missing libraries so i searched a little and found it was caused by the missing file named "com.sonyericsson.facebook.proxy_1_impl.jar" that was located in /system/framework so i copied it to my /system/framework folder set permissions and tried installing again but now i am getting the error;
Code:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
so i did the install again but only now i had a logcat running and i found in the logcat this code:
Code:
[PackageParser.java:521:collectCertificates()] Package com.sonyericsson.home has no certificates at entry resources.arsc; ignoring!
and that is the point where i am stuck...

Semi Transparent COLORED backpanel with invisible music and camera buttons and more
The buttons are still there (invisible), which means you are still able to swipe right for music and left for camera, just that the backpanel (which originally supposed to be solid grey) is now semi colored transparent (roughly 10%). The COLOR of the semi transparent bar changes depending on the most dominant color of the wallpaper. Along with other mods available, such as, removed clock, everything removed...

-I've also looked into Mr. Khan's files (really nice of him) thank you ;), but it seems the codes are a bit different compared Xperia S to T, therefore his file doesn't work the T or just my T. Anyway, Ill look into it more over the days to see what can be done. :highfive:

Screenshots are from Xperia T. On Xperia Z, there will be no black bar at the bottom.
I tried the invisible ome and its great ..the other file is not working at all it doesnt take out the clock or the camera or music icon..like it should be..its like normal mode lockscreen...
Suggestion
It could be awsome if you can remove the clock and make transparent the camera and music icon (not remiving it )

aiya!!! sorry guys. Its really hard for me to do the testings when i dont have the xperia z (consider buying it). /________________\
Theres nothing wrong with the code, well i technically went and did the same thing that i did on the T. I know the xperia Z contains more codes than the T, but didnt expect it to not work at all.
Ill look into it over the weekends, I have mid terms tmr and on friday ><
----------
in the mean time, if anyone wants a edited version of my recent task can use the file i provided. I did this for the T and i hope it works on the Z.
If it doesnt work, could someone please upload the TaskSwitcher.apk
Same instructions as the lockscreen one; use root explorer or whatever. Make a full backup just in case it doesnt work on the Z. Replace the original file in System > app > with the downloaded file. Set permission to rw--r--r. No need to rename. Reboot.

Its not that hard to move the apk into system/app and change the permission to rw-r-r and reboot.
i think thats faster than booting in recovery and flashing it.
if you have a rom to flash, you can just put the apk under system/app and flash it.
or try zipping it with other flashable zip contents and flash from there.
I am out of town for awhile and I dont have anything on me nor my phone to test it with.

try to look at my signature..
For Xperia Z JB 4.2.2
Mods have been updated to replace only the png files of the signal status and battery in your systemui.apk instead of replacing the whole file. This will prevent any incompatibility problems that a few experienced before due to the different framework between stock and custom roms.
Would like to give credit to Drummerjed for kindly offering his help in fixing the files. You can check out his boot animation here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391604&nocache=1.
3 Different mods:
One with IOS7 Signal status and BLUE Honami battery, GREEN Honami battery and WHITE Honami Battery.
As always, please make a backup of your rom before flashing zips.
Based on post by LitoNi (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409210) but has 3 soft-key buttons instead of 5.

For those of you who want 3 soft-keys.
* IOS style signal status
* Blue battery (Green when charging)
* Soft-keys same as on Honami rom (3 standard buttons, Slightly smaller than stock.... I think it's either 32ppi or 36ppi).
Sorry, but don't have extra time for requests. Just thought others might be interested so posting.

Try wiping dalvik cache. It will reset your wallpaper but you can always change it back.
If all else fails you can extract systemui.apk and copy it manually via root explorer or something and change permissions. If your phone resets automatically make sure you fix permissions in recovery before it reboots.

I did it (moved to system, added permissions, moved to system/app), them I wiped cache and dalvic. When phone turned on, there were no statusbar or navbar. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or maybe it's only for Honami framework?

Just confirming t's not a typo but it should be under /system/app/
If doing manually, permissions to be changed after it's been copied to directory by file manager or recovery.
Also, I assume that your on JB 4.2.2?
Should work for both the latest updates .423 & .244. Honami is based on stock so shouldn't be an issue if your not using the Honami rom.
I'm guessing you need to correctly set permissions if copying manually. It should be: -rw -r -r (just check other apps in /system/app folder).
Your flashable zip has a problem.recheck it

Just confirming t's not a typo but it should be under /system/app/
If doing manually, permissions to be changed after it's been copied to directory by file manager or recovery.
Also, I assume that your on JB 4.2.2?
Should work for both the latest updates .423 & .244. Honami is based on stock so shouldn't be an issue if your not using the Honami rom.
I'm guessing you need to correctly set permissions if copying manually. It should be: -rw -r -r (just check other apps in /system/app folder).

Thanks for correcting me.
No way of doing so: if you move directly to system/app, phone will shut down immediately. After changing permissions in system folder it will stay if you move it to subfolder. I was doing so with every manually installing mod.
And yes, I'm on latest firmware by RomAur (based on 244)
I'm pretty sure that I gave rw r r permissions (644), but I'll try again.

Tried modding the png files. Problem is that once you increase the size there are overlaps with the other graphics so it will look like there is something wrong.

It failed man. I flashed it through TWRP and my system UI has stopped. Did I do something wrong? I'm on stock deodexed 244

Hmmm, that's wierd. I tested it on Honami rom and backup of latest stock firmware and works fine.
Not sure if it would make a difference but you could try fix permissions and wipe dalvik cache in recovery?
Alright I do not have odex working according to ArchEnemy', which is where I modded his version.
As of now, I cannot get center clock to work with 3 navi keys, only 5 keys. Ive tried editing the basic status bar file but I might be editing the wrong one, therefore im waiting for his reply to and hopefully to get it working with 3 navi keys.
If anyone who cant wait and doesnt mind the 5 navi keys (ive made the power key and the menu key invisible, it is still there, you just cant see it), you can try flashing the file below. Remember to back up your rom fully, just in case anything happens.

Since KITKAT is released everyone want to install it
But due to some reasons we dont have CM11
So I an presenting a MOD which will give your phone KITKAT look............
This mod can be used on other devices also...
Just push the system ui in system and add the following lines in build.prop
"##Navbar
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"
Remove that "
If you are using the device having similar size to L3 then u have to resize navbar
So follow the given steps
Step1: Take framework-res.apk from the rom on which u are going to use this mod
Step2: Decompile it.
Step3: Navigate to res>values>dimens
Step4: Find navbar height & change the value from 48 to 36
Step5:Save,recompile & push in system.............:laugh:
Downloads:
As I dont have permissions to post outside links,download link is in attached files(Due to less no. of posts:crying
MiniCM9? damn it! can you make it for CM9? looks really awesome. thanks btw
good job, some people (including myself) are confused how to make status-bar being transparent in mini cm9
Navbar
is the navbar really necessary (due to l3 size)? is it just appeared on home screen? how do i remove the navbar?
