yes it is , u need to decompile systemui.apk from 4.2.2 and grab the files form res/drawable-xxhdpi , all files that start stat_sys_battery
then decompile systemui.apk from 4.3 and move the files that u grabbed earlier and replace them , recompile , sign , and it should work

If you're rooted then there's also xposed. With an xposed module like "xbattery themer" you might be able to get something you'd like.

[Q] Transparent status bar for Galaxy s Advance after update ?

Hi all developers :laugh:
I'm trying to search for mods for transparent status bar for galaxy s advance stock rom, 4.1.2 (odexed).
Is there any way to modify it ?
When i try to edit build.prop or system ui, it seems like our GSA are slightly different from previous edits
any better ideas ?
Thanks in advance

I think that you need to deodex it before that change. Black one didn't work for me untill I deodex with Frapeti's files. And I think that we can't use that now, because there were some changes in new fw, and we will go back to previous with some things. So deodex it, or wait to someone do that.

In that case, maybe better wait for some custom ROM, and custom recovery. You do not want to end up with soft bricked phone, and to reflash JB again... My friendly advice.
Main thing is to change SystemUI.apk, and this one is for deodexed system. Stock is odexed.
And bobfrantic did this. He put mine SystemUI.apk in root.zip, like he said in that post, and he flashed it in recovery. And he renamed stock SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apkold, and SystemUI.odex to SystemUI.odexold.
P.S. And if you do not get anything - here it is in short. It is file that gives you black or transparent status bar. The one where clock, batery level, signal level are located. And it is for Jelly Bean, not for Gingerbread!

Just to correct you shut_down, I didn't put the systemui.apk in the root.zip. I only rooted my phone then used root explorer to put your transparent systemui.apk into the system/app after renaming the originals. it was easy but I wouldn't recommend this to a noob or unexperienced person for sure

Can't remember now, changed color in xml of SystemUI.apk. Search XDA with "change status bar color" And for icons, I think you need to change png's inside of SystemUI.
But did it look like the s4 statusbar?

I do not know how S4 statusbar looks. And in that time mod is made S4 didn't exist. It is just transparent instead of gray background. Same icons as on stock.

Is Lidroid Power Widget already included in your rom (I think this is the case) ? Do you want to change only the icons ?
Yes, lidroid included, but I suppose version 1.
I want to update it to version 2 and replace icons with these. And add SystemUIsettings.apk.
I decompiled SystemUI.apk and changed icons, but do not work.Thanks for the help

- First download XperiaT_JB_NotificationWidget_v2.
- Then extract SystemUI.apk from this zip.
- Open SystemUI.apk with Winrar (don't extract anything just open).
- Go in res/drawable-xhdpi
- remove the old icons and copy the new ones
- close Winrar
- copy SystemUI.apk in the zip
- flash the zip
- Enjoy

Ok, try the attached mod. It's v2 with Sony style icons. No reason that v2 wouldn't work with your rom (with service.jar unsigned, it can be the reason of your previous failures).

Hehe I already did, really getting there with this phone now, if the bluetooth fix you posted works which I can test on monday all I have left to do is get to the bottom of why my phone will display having full service and work as normal, but if I try and make a call or text sometime it will randomly have no service, but I will start a new topic about that

[Q] Anyway to remove lockscreen's "Swipe to unlock"

Hi, on 4.1 the swipe to unlock text only was shown a few times after turning on the device, now in 4.3 is permanent, there is anyway to remove it?
Without root on Xperia V, if only can be removed with root tell me anyway, thanks :good:

I think i saw this in some Xperia-related Xposed module. I can't find it new coz i'm on Omni. I think... I'm not sure again!
Settings/security/screen lock, choose none and then install some locker from Play Store (ie Holo Locker).
It's not possible to get rid of that text I think.. You would have to decompile the lockscreen apk and either change the color of the text to transparent or replace the related string..
But without root, you won't be able to install your modified app.
Thus, it's not possible. :/

Thanks, I going to root it soon, but I'll wait to get a 4.3 "definitive" firmware or an easy rooting method that don't need to reflash the firmware, just bored of formating so many times and if I have to do it I would prefer it to be the last one

I can understand you.. Lost root and recovery on 4.3 recently and ended up in a bootloop. Lost all data, had to restore via Flashtool.. :/
Hopefully we will soon be able to root our devices more easily. ^^

decompile the lockscreen.apk
there is a definition for the unlock hint in inte....xml
i did this long time ago so i cant remember its exact name
Okay, XV rooted, i'm gonna try to decompile and remove it.
Im not a dev so I dont really know how, just gonna try and see what happens
Well, just not as easy as i think, decompiled, modified the swype to unlock text (in english and spanish) and recompiled, installed in System/app and the lockscreen seems to be between the AOSP and Xperia Lockscreen, with the unlock circle of AOSP and clock/widgets of xperia, but im not able to apply a lockscreen wallpaper from gallery or screen settings so i will keep the original lockscreen till i find a way to make it work

Did you sign your recompiled apk?
Sent from my Xperia V using Tapatalk.
if the XT lockscreen apk will work on the XV, then you can grab that from some custom rom. for example my nonami rom has hidden "swipe to unlock" text and also i changed the blinds affected by touch.

System apps so have to be signed. I guess that's the reason it didn't work for you.
The only problem with this signing stuff is that you might need super user mod to make the apk install.

It works in Xperia V Lt25i with storck firmware 9.2.A.2.5?
How does it really differ? What is improved over the older versions? I mean is there a benefit for the user, ergonomics, functions, fuel consumption? Or is it just the higher version number?

Does it need a deodexed rom?
Here Stock Xperia T Rooted 4.3 reporting that work just by moving .apk file, set permission and replace into system folder. It doesn't FC so far at all. No need to flash on CMW in my case.
Transparency by Xposed.

This is relatively simple. You just need to find the image files that are used for that icon. They're probably inside SystemUI.apk but could be inside framework-res.apk instead.

Hmmm... Im not sure for CM, but on Stock, you can change it by going to /system/somc/chargemon(?) I think. Look for similar folders in you /system
