I assure u it works! U must flash it, not pull the apk from the zip and push it, also u did download the on in op not the one from stingray correct?

I flash it and yeah the one from the op, it was strange, could it have something to do with the fact I'd already got custom softkeys?

yeah it definitely wiped the cache, as far as I can tell the flash went fine. I was also thinking, could it be because I had the hide status bar option turned on in the power menu...but not active?
I'll try it again with the option off, but it won't be till morning as its 0500 lol

Yeah I modified my OG post, I really wanted to know if it is possible to get rid of the Google search on the upper left of the screen. If that is not possible is there a way to hide it since we now have the "search" on the softkey bar?And yes, wanting to remove that annoying recent bar that pops up on the left hand side of the screen or toggle to hide it. Is it do-able?

I will look into the removal of the search grid on the stock launcher,
As for the recent... u want the button just removed in its entirety? If so that's easy..
If u r wanting something else u may need to add more detail...
For instance how would u switch between task? Or if u don't use it I can remove it completely

In this picture on the far left - where it says Calculator, Calendar .... (this is the pop up that shows when you hit the "recent" button on your softkey bar.) This popup is what I wanted to be removed or have an option to toggled off, so that it does not show. Is that possible? Let me know what you find out about the Google Search grid - that would be epic!
at first:this work IS NOT FROM ME,its from German user called Kundal.He has make it with the guide from here.I have test both of them on normal Firmware with root(no deodexed)and is worx fine.Just install with cwm,thats all.

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--

You need to have these things first :
1- Root
2- Deodexed ROM
3- PC (with JAVA installed)
4- Any apk decompiler (apktool, apk-multitool, etc..)
How to :-
1- Copy SystemUI.apk from /system/app/ to your sd card via any root browser.
2- transfer SystemUI.apk to your computer.
3- Decompile SystemUI.apk.
4- Open res\layout\status_bar.xml
5- There you will see a value like android:background=FF000000
6- To make it translucent type 5F000000 instead of FF000000 or to make it full transparent type 000000
Enjoy and if any questions plz ask here.. .

Ok, this guide needs to be elaborated... :angel:
I did the same, and following was output:
1. Even while changing background to 5f000000, background became full transparent.
2. Whenever i open an app, status bar becomes black again(opaque)
3. During media scanning also status bar looses transparency!
This means status bar is only transparent when on homescreen!
I'm attaching images which i tried on jelly blast rom and also the modded systemui.apk (of Jelly Blast rom) if anyone wants to try. Just rename the file to systemui.apk and put in system/app, change permissions and reboot. you will face lots of force close messages but don't worry after reboot it'll be fine!:good:

bro you don't have to edit drawer.xml but statusbar.xml -.-
And this guide is small and easy one for those who don't want to all the long fuss!
so you will get transparent status bar only when on homescreen or pulling the notification panel down
And I you want permanent transparency then you must search other guides or if they are not there then I will try to make it when I would get time
i think that I should mod the launcher so that it will have permanent trans. but I don't know how, if its ok with to make a tut it will be a big help for me

Which phone u using dude?
CanvasHD aosp
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.
Nice Tutorial by the way :good:

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.

It works bro! This is a general method for resizing the osb! Its tested on XV, neo,neo v, arc,arc s and ray by my friends!
XV has NXT framework! It worked for XV it will for XZ too!

I know. But if you do it you have to choose the next "proper" density.
200 was compatible with most apps, and yes, xperia home stopped :/
Didnt think about this anymore...

Making this to a flashable zip would make it easier for most people(?) Also, if anyone could make a tiny tutorial on how to make the navigationbar black, would be awesome sauce.

Normally you need to if SemcGenericUxpRes.apk too. And remove a line for recompiling without errors

It would be great if there were flashable zips with various sizes so ppl can choose their size...
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?
Sorry but I can't cause hav my exams really near and am not allowed to Use my pc before they end! Let's see if anyone has made it

me too in bootloop, can't wait to have this on my xperia z as it's my daily driver. On my nexus i have size 24 and it looks amazing (and more screen to use haha)
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

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.

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.
