I'm sorry but I don't really get the 'Flash in CWM' part of the instructions. I installed CWM and I get 'Unsupported Model'.

I have the XPS rooted, isn't there a way to install the status bar like copying the file with ES Explorer?

Thanks for your great work! :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jose Viegas:
Anyone knows where I can get a tutorial for this 'flash with CWM'?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Yezariael:
Flash advanced stock kernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1729280

then you have CWM... please after that (or maybe better before ;) ) read all the threads and things about CWM and about flashing ZIPs etc. I think the app-thread is not here for technical manuals...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stero!:
just install advanced ics stock kernel, reboot your phone and during the sony logo spam vol+ button... U re in recovery (CWM) and u can choose the zip from sdcard and flash it :)

Flash advanced stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Yes, but I would say to you don't do that with framework-res.apk. If anything goes wrong, you will have to reflash the ROM.

A Basic Doubt

I am aware that this is a pretty naive doubt, but do I need to have my device rooted to get all these battery mods and themes working?? The Jelly Bean wallpaper pack works perfectly without the need to root or anything..

:confused:

Thank you..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Yeah. You need root for it

im having trouble getting the lockscreen with music fix to install, it doesnt see adb when i type it into command line even tho i flashed it with custom kernal
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skifyr123:
Restore framework-res.apk. You can download it from the link in my signature ;)

Do you have adb in your path? If you still have problems with adb, download a flashable .zip, delete what you don't want and place the framework-res.apk in .zip/system/framework/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] butters149:
Im sorry I dont know waht you mean, I don't know what to delete from the flashable.zip.

NavBar-statusbar-skifyr123-v2 has the menu screen I want, I tried ddeleting everything but the framework file and folder but it doesnt work when i try to flash it.

What will happen if I install systemui.apk directly without having root access. I'm on ics and a noob in android so rooting this ics is very long as mentioned here onxda I'm afraid of anything goes wrong:(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skifyr123:
You will get "installation failed". SystemUI.apk is not an normal app, but a system app which requires root to be replaced.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jose Viegas:
Now I know those buttons go away when the battery goes lower, say around 30% :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mharckk:

(pick a file that you have flashed before on your phone, like your ROM or a theme)

i dont know what to pick..hehe..:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Choose any mod from this thread that requires to be flashed and keep following the tutorial. Oh, and if you "finish" it, please post some screenshots (or send it to me, i want to se :p )

@skifyr123: Would you mind doing this (WP7 recent apps thing) with this battery mod (both mods relies on SystemUI.apk) :

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] OnParole:
Tried this "ICS-restore-v2" and "ICS-statusbar-skifyr123-V2", it just made the status bar disappear completely and only way to get it back was to re-flash the whole damn thing. I've tried it twice and already spent way to much time on this.

Can't get it to work and no guides or anything to follow so where it goes wrong I'm not sure.

Edit: Just some words
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wing_zero8556:
Dunno if just me but when I disable data the signal icon looks fine. When data is enabled the signal bars move to the left a bit and the 3g icon overlaps the signal bars. This is using the AOSP status bar with the on screen keys
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skifyr123:
It relies also a tiny bit on framework-res (dimens.xml, which controls the size of the recent apps image). But since we have not found a way to recompile framework I can not edit that. So the image gets stretched:

Also tried a different mod, same bug:

And I have no idea how to add notifications toggle, ask the one who did it for 2.3.7 ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Ok. Thanks anyway.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mackay53:
Did you flash the ICS-restore-v2 in recovery then rebooted the phone turn back off then flashed the ICS-statusbar-skifyr123-V2 in recovery ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wing_zero8556:
This is what the data icon looks like
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skifyr123:
Om

Thanks for screenshot. I do not use mobile data so I did not notice those bugs :silly:

Guess I have fixed it now, overlapping and flicking.

(Haven't been able to test it with other data icons besides roaming icon. Flash In CWM.

Will fix the mod later.. REMOVED.

NOTE: This zip will only replace some icons to fix the bug, all other mods in SystemUI.apk will remain (eg battery mods, clock color..) !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wing_zero8556:
thanks skifyr123 :D,

edit: sorry skifyr but when i flash the new one i lose my status bar. the method im using:

flash the first .zip

reboot

flash 2nd .zip

reboot

flash new .zip

edit2:

I replaced the icons with the V2.zip and flashed it and it works.

thanks in advance!i`ll buy you a beer:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wing_zero8556:
Are you rooted?

If yes then you need to go to your system/app folder and delete UxpNxtLockScreen.apk (or rename it to UxpNxtLockScreen.apk.bak). Then restart your phone and you'll have stock ICS lockscreen
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aresbv2000:
c`mon man...i have already know that.it`s ok...but the music controls in lockscreen are horrible!i`m rooted i have the unlocked bootloader...i know all this s%#@t the only thing i don`t know is how to work with adb:-??that`s all

but...hey...thank you very much for your suggestion!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lord Takyon:
Unlocked bootloader, rooted, but adb is beyond you? Strange.

What you are saying is that you can't be bothered to search anywhere. You want someone to post them here for you, despite the fact they are in the post you quoted.

You need to have your phone connected to your pc to execute these commands.

You don't need adb I did it without adb. Download the framework-res apk with the lock screen music fix and then move it to system folder, set the correct permissions then move it into the framework folder. It will ask you to overwrite the existing one, press OK and then restart your phone.

hi everyone,

for mods that requires flashing in CWM, is it possible to replace the system files manually? I like the blue navigation bar, but I don't have CWM recovery yet as the current one for locked BL seems to only working partially.

thank you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skifyr123:
@hello_hello You can replace them manually with a file explorer, but it's more risky than with CWM. Extract the files from the zip and follow these instructions:

Copy yourmod.apk with a file explorer.

Paste it in /system and set right permissions (rw-r--r--)

Move file to /system/app/ , or if it is framework-res.apk move it to /system/framework/

Reboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chaleen:
status bar working thx:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hello_hello:
The zip package also comes with META-INF folder. Should I just ignore the content of that folder?

Also, the battery mod that I use, it's SystemUI.apk, but the status bar v2 also contains that file. That means, the battery mod will also get replaced right? What should I do to have the bluish statusbar also with the battery mod of my choice?

I am new to this :)

Hi Skifyr,

thanks for the great work. Unfortunately I’ve tried without success to install the Numbers Battery. I’m running the Advanced Stock ICS Kernel (ver. 11) with the official Firmware: I have root access and recovery. But when I put UiSystem.apk in /system, change to rw-w--w-- and put in /system/app and reboot, the statusbar disappears. Any clou? I’ve read that you advice to use another kernel. Is it possible with the Firmware that I'm running?

Thank you very much.

Try to set the owner to root.

Longpress in rootxplorer on apk...

Change owner.. Both settings to root and save reboot...

For keeping a different battIcon pre-change the png's from the 1 you like and copy them in the stausbar mod.

Make the systemUI. apk a zip by renaming it to systemui. Zip. Dont unzip it but open it... Copy from system/res/hdpi. Pngs and copy them in the battmod systemui. Apk.... Rename it back to systemui. Apk move to system set permissions and change owner to root.. Place in system/apps and replace... Reboot.

Thanks marcjuh,

but I’ve already changed the permission to root in ES File Explorer and set the permission to rw-r--r-- when the SystemUi was placed in /system. Then I've put It in /system/app, replaced and rebooted. The status bar disappeared and I had to flash via CWM the restore_systemui.zip. There must something messed up!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hello_hello:
I am not sure if the statusbar mod has the sufficient battery steps in the xml. If it isn't, which xml should I edit? I have tried to decompile but I got few errors like these

Can I simply ignore those? My goodness, this is becoming difficult maybe I should just give up with the bluish status bar lol.
