Some useful overlay files! - Sony Xperia ZR

These are some useful overlay files, so that you dont need to mod the original files.
push them to /system/vendor/overlay/ and chmod 644.
These should work with every stock / stock based firmware, even locked bootloader.
1. framework-res.apk overlay for changing dimension of soft keys (28 dp)
Download
2. Phone overlay for call recording
Download
Please feel free to add any more useful overlays you make / find so that it is useful for all.

Any screenshots plz, does it work with a.2.67 firmware??
Any bugs???
Thanks in advance

The only way to modify the framework is to deodex (untangle) the files so you can modify one without wreaking the whole system into a brick and having to go thru loops to bring it back to normal, there is no harm in deodexing right now, whats your issue with not putting deodexed framework files ?

Well I heard I'll be missing out on the Atrix update if I do that... that's all. But then again the benefits of a Deodex seem to outweigh those of the new update...

I can confirm that the Arabic RTL fix by the DroidSansArabic.ttf/framework.jar files overwrite does work with both Gingerblur and Gladiatrix ROMS on 4.1.57.
Cool, but now that I have RTL, how do I actually get Arabic?
How do I get:
1) Fonts
2) Keyboard that actually works properly?
3) What is everybody else doing?
Thanks
Please solve the problem in Gmail.
Browser is solved by replacing it with Firefox or opera.
The only remaining is Gmail and it is so so important to be Arabized.
By the way is there any alternatives to gmail where we can see emails with Arabic connected letters? any suggestions?

To fix flashlight you need to add some lines to AndroidManifest.xml in SystemUI.apk. I tried this but it didn't work.
Afaik editing AndroidManifest.xml destroys the signature of the APK so the system doesn't except the file any longer. To get around this you'd have to resign all system apps and all jar-Files in /system/framework signed by Samsung.
It's not worth to do this for the flashlight feature. Just disable flashlight in the QuickpanelSettings App.
I personally use a version with modded lidroid-res.apk (different Icons):
The screenshot shows german icon descriptions but the provided version is in english.
If you're interested in the german version you can get it here: Lidroid 14 Statusbar Toggle Buttons German
Just replace the lidroid-res.apk in /system/framework and set permissions to rw-r--r--

[Q] noob questions

i have a few questions which after a lot of browsing also i cannot understand..
1) you know, all that stuff like v6 supercharger adrenaline,activo speeder and so on, what is the difference b/w all of these? which ones should i flash? and suppose it is already there in my rom how do i know about it? many people give different answers but im using blackdroid rom so along with that if anyone knows anything?
2) I recently found a rom whose font i really liked. if i wish to add that font in my current rom how do i do that? please keep it simple because i couldnt understand anything in other threads.
(PS to use font changer root do i need to extract the font from the rom?if so how?)
THANKS!!
v6 is available for just a few ROMs and setting it up isn't easy for novice users. If you have adrenaline engine, you can't flash anything else, because it gives bootloop. Activo is friendly to other scripts, so it's a choice for anybody who has no idea what should give bootloop.
For the font: wait for someone else, because I never change fonts
to change fonts all I do is use root explorer then goto system/fonts then replace DroidSans.ttf (this is the main font used by android) with the font you want to use and make sure you rename it to DroidSans.ttf and set permissions. you can also change all the fonts this way but just make sure you rename them and set permissions.. . do a nandroid backup just incase then reboot.

[MOD] System UI (IOS Signal Status + Blue, Green, White Honami Battery) FIXED!

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.
adielee said:

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).

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.

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.
