Then no error in SystemUI nor framework-res! Glad to hear.

Use Home from Xperia S or Xperia GX (fully compatible and behave nice with On Screen Buttons):

Home.apk

(from Xperia GX, 7 screens + 5x4 app-tray, all fading indicators, auto-rotate, no icon mirror effect in portrait, text size is 11.0sp) build for myself

HomeAdd.apk (new app for adding widgets on screen).

I added and original Home apk from Xperia GX (has HomeGX.apk name).
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] lucky92:
ok, it's work :laugh::laugh::laugh:

thank you, you're the best :good::good::good:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:

It seems like I forgot to pack auto-rotation in Home.apk.

It is totally correct, no need to worry. It just don't auto-rotate.

Here is the auto-rotation home.

I tried centered clock, and I don't like it!!

From usability point of view there is not enough space for icons showing on right side of clock. Just to mimics iPhone's clock. Not worth it.

Still, if someone want it. Here you are.

But no more centered clocks here!

Kind Regards.

White QP icons.

Using serajr tut.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Adiassidik:
thank you for your efforts Sir. Now I understand why the clock isn't that good on the center :)

**Sir, what do you think about Bigger clock on drop-down status bar? ( a-la Jelly Bean) don't you think that's nice?. Can u add this bigger clock to your mod? :)

to make it different with others, is it possible for u adding the "current day" on that?

hehe, as always basically it's just a suggestion for u. But nice if u can make it! :)

Any comment(s) on transparent status bar? Or anything else?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] kevin0164:
Hi, with this SystemUI mod, the status bar would be stayed transparent as the notification pull down.

Should it becomes black-background or not ?? Thanks a lot :good::good:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Notification pull down uses an image (think so?). If you go slowly last centimeter you'll notice it leaving status bar.

That comment I was waiting from Adiassidik also ;)

I mean that's not an error. Is it nice with existing image notif pull down is something else.

And could be tuned on number of ways, as making it less transparent (going to #cc000000), doing more transparent image or some new idea?

Anyone has something similar that we could have a look at for inspiration or copy? (from android world, of course)

Will see. Now on JB clock/date/day.

Anyone willing to translate attached English text (really very small) into its own language is very welcomed.

Are you willing to translate it into zh-rTW?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] kevin0164:

Was on gtalk with Adrian about Home.apk when he solved it, but I didn't understand what he was writing as I did something in parallel.

I'll ask Adrian how to do it.

On task list.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Metallijim:
Thanks

Thank you very much

I'll be waiting :D
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AdrianDC:
Hi.

As sohrab1985 suggested me, to do this,

you need to add the following lines to the framework-res.apk :

<item name="android:backgroundDimAmount">0.6</item>
<item name="android:semcWindowShowGlobalAppBackground">true</item>

to styles.xml, at the "Theme.DeviceDefault" style definition.

I had troubles recompiling it, so 1. use a working apktool,

2. first try to decompile/recompile to see if it works,

3. don't sign it, neither to you zipalign it,

4. I don't know about the other tools, I always use my AndroidAppsEditor, which always works like I want it to.

Bye !
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:

Hi,

I'm looking at attached file and I think I see a problem.

Your file's content looks like this:

<string name="quickpanel_wifi_text">µL˝uşô¸ô</string>

<string name="quickpanel_dc_text">ĽĆľÚ¶Çżé</string>

<string name="quickpanel_network_mode_text">şô¸ôĽŇ¦ˇ</string>

<string name="quickpanel_sound_text">ĹTąa</string>

<string name="quickpanel_sound_vibration_text">ĹTąaľ_°Ę</string>

<string name="quickpanel_silent_text">ŔR*µ</string>

Just click in web browser on file you attached. Is it changed somehow?!

While, when looking at existing file inside SystemUI where I were to append your text, it looks like this:

<string name="status_bar_recent_remove_item_title">從清單中移除</string>

<string name="status_bar_recent_inspect_item_title">應用程式資訊</string>

<string name="status_bar_no_recent_apps">沒有最近使用的應用程式</string>

<string name="status_bar_accessibility_dismiss_recents">關閉最近使用的應用程式</string>

<string name="status_bar_no_notifications_title">沒有通知</string>

And I think something is corrupted.

May I kindly ask you to open your file on your computer and to copy its content into new txt document that you will create with Notepad++ (free, open source) program.

Then zip it with winzip or winrar or 7zip and post it here again.

That should prevent any problem.

I hope you will like it.

Please report any usability issue due to JB Date!? Thanks in advance.

And all willing to translate QP text into their native languages are more then welcomed.

Thanks to:

kevin0164 for zh-TW QP translation.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
I know you will ask, but where is clock?

Do you see usability problem?

(in JB it is solved by introducing scrolling).

Generally, if your clock is in 24h format, it should be ok, but with 12h format and am/pm wording there is no room for Clear All button.

So I removed it.

It seems fine to me, as clock is right above on status bar.

In JB, when status bar is expanded, status bar line at top disappear and clock on top (and WiFi, network, Bluetooth icons) disappear.

But, if you still want it. Posting it here is not a problem at all?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
This is how it looks with HR locale.

With clock enabled.

Yes, navigation bar is not transparent. Yet.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Till-Kruspe:
Hey this is perfect...but please...if you could...add clear button...thank you...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Did you look at post above yours?

Clear All is there. Or you want it JB themed?

Figure you are referencing is there to show problem with am /pm as they push button out of visible view.

But in 24h mode all is ok.

Should I post it regardless to this small limitation/defect?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Next is transparent navigation bar.

SemcPhone.apk is patched again and nav bar is not eating Call End button. That should be fine.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Till-Kruspe:

Included 2G/3G toggle support and 29px on screen button support.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Yes, transparency is inside latest SystemUI plus framework-res.

But you must use a workaround to activate it.

Install Nova launcher and set wallpaper while Nova is active, then switch to Home.apk.

You'll have to try couple of time until it works.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Kajendran:
So will the onscreen buttons stay transparent even after Nova launcher has been uninstalled...???

:confused::confused:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Reboot and change of language will remove it. Unfortunately.

But, when you set up it, use Titanium Backup to backup Wallpaper (green item).

Then you can easily restore it without of Nova.

More detailed instructions are:

Have Home.apk.

Install Nova.

Make Home.apk default.

From Home.apk go in app-tray and click on Nova icon.

Use menu key and choose wallpaper.

I used Album from Xperia S/GX

Press home key or soft key.

And Home.apk has transparent navigation bar.

Do backup of wallpaper in Titanium.

I guess, Home.apk could be patched to accept setting wallpaper over nav bar.

But will I be able to solve it is totally diff issue ;)

(I'll look at issue when time allows)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:

Strings ro-RO for SystemUI (Romanian translation)

Here it is the translation for the strings in Romanian, hope will be integrated soon.

A little suggestion try to make the notifications zone transparent as the clock bar, will be more nice.

And another little bug, in romanian when the clock format is set for 24 hours the time and date are altereded and look something like this %11.%6.%Y maybe someone can help fix this, it's happen in all modified SystemUI's that i try. Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Thanks for translation. New version go tomorrow.

Please have a look at attached figures. There's no 24h bugs in them. But if I misunderstood something please mark on figure with circle and arrow issues.

Did you try my SystemUI?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BYTeXperience:
Here it is how it looks for me:

First 2 screenshots (1&2) are with 24H option checked.

Next 2 screenshots (3&4) are with 24H option unchecked (AM/PM - ENABLED and it shows 21 hour in the bar, but all other programs and gadgets shows 9PM).

And the last show how looks my language profile.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
All fine on my Xperia. Check figures.

What fw are you using? Kernel?

Are you using and my framework-res.apk?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BYTeXperience:
I think is from the firmware because i'm stuck on 4.1.A.0.562 and kernel 2.6.32.9-perf i test it now in English and it's the same thing.

From some time i wanna install FXP13X *JB or AOKP JB but i have waited to be solved the problems with Camera, WiFi Theater, etc.

I think now is the time for me to make the change, sony doesn't provide the good .587 for my phone and even .431 is unavailable for me .
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
But why you didn't downloaded flashtool and flashed one of 587 ftf firmwares that are available in forum?

And FXP want be stable for a few months.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BYTeXperience:
I'm new on Neo V and unfamiliar with it... i was on HTC with WP, but changed with SE Neo V about 3-4 weeks ago so I'm studding how to do all the things on it. I'm reading and learning a lot from noobs guides. The .587 is available for Neo V only in NCB and Indian flavors and I'm not so happy with that. I'm already rooted and unlocked bootloader via TP (testpoint) but I'm not sure what version of CWM to use 5.0.2.7 (i understand that is for GB ROM's based - so useless for me); 5.5.0.4 (this i read it is good for ICS based ROM's), but yesterday i read that some people use CWM 6 (for JB based ROM's). So what version and from where to download and install :confused:

is it possible for the transparent status bar to turn gradually black when pulled down? like the further the status bar is pulled down, the darker it gets.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
Do you mind using this SystemUI and removing the text under each QuickPanel option, so it's just icons?

Oh, and is it possible to add a button in the QuickPanel that goes to settings, instead of in the sane row as the time and date kinda like the Xperia GX SystemUI?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] a1b2c99:
Please mod this battery icon to green colour like in default battery.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Till-Kruspe:

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BYTeXperience:
I have already try that, and last night i install the zip's for framework from the first post, the volume down button doesn't send me on CWM menu. I forgot to fix permissions and i have veeeery nice boot loop and no CWM to fix it, so i used Flashtool to install .587 NCB, i have rooted and now everything is fine. (All the bad thing have a happy end because i haven't install .587 if this doesn't happen :p )

I wait for the Romanian translated version of SystemUI from post 133. I think is better to keep a version of SystemUI with text under the QP buttons and another-one without (maybe a option to change the display of text or not, even to have the text in 1 row under the icons or 2 rows - will be nice).
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
On task list.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Yes it is possible.

But could I do it is another matter ;)

Picture that is covering is rather small. And is multiplied to cover everything.

Same is at home.apk. Reason that transparent navigation bar is disappearing and not showing.

On task list. But won't be in a day or two.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Removing text is piece of cake. Coming.

Too much work for no usability gain.

If you long press qp buttons you jump to corresponding section of Settings.apk. What's the benefit?

It looks like in GX! I don't like it.

But I can remove settings button from notification?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
No. Too lazy to do it.

But if you do it, I'll compile it in.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] gaclawo:
I've made translation to polish. It would be great if you put it in.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
Makes sense. It adds room for the clear button because it sometimes overlaps the date on portrait in 12h mode (at least on my modded version of ThilinaC's JB SystemUI.)

So ya, remove qp text and settings button please :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Like this?

Languages already included in QP are: en-EN, hr-HR, zh-TW, ro-RO, pl-PL.

I went other way in transparent direction. I hope it is still visually acceptable and for you.

Edit:

There is a bug with pressed toggle background. New fixed version is bellow in post 170.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] buatcintaku:
Awesome

To make this, can just change xml or need to edit smali?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Both. And smali and xml.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Kajendran:
Could you share HOW you made the togles transparent...??

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Toggles are easy.

Just remove background. And remove pressed background also.

I forgot to do it in post above ;)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Fixed visual bug with black background showing when toggle pressed.

Now, all fine.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Comments?

I'm planning to split this into two branches.

One with transparent and other one with stock opaque versions for SystemUI.

And framework with On Screen Buttons (OSB) and without OSB.

White QP icons or battery icons you can add to new versions of SystemUI by yourself.

Just use 7zip and copy from apk to apk.

If it is problem for you, search or ask. Someone will guide you.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] a1b2c99:
I can too do it if I get PNG icons. I m not good at Photoshop.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BYTeXperience:
Seems to be to more transparency on the version from post 170 - the text is unreadable & icons unreachable, i think the better solution is to have the clock bar at the same level of transparency and color (black) with the background from the version posted on 156. Sorry, seems to be hard to find the right balance.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Just use 7zip or winrar and open apk file. Go to /res/drawable_hdpi/ and there are icons. Copy them out and modify as you wish.

Those are not mine icons so no psd file. They are shrinked version of oversized battery. So they are degraded a bit. Perhaps it's good to take primary source.

You could ask original author sources and psd. Look for name in OP.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Ha ha.

Ok. I assumed so.

That's why I wrote there will be two branches.

But I'll stay at current level of transparency for personal use.

Kinda like it.

Kind Regards, vr
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] buatcintaku:
Must learn about smali

For it just change pic on drawable-hdpi?

*assumed its done about.edit smali
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Kajendran:
So any luck making the onscreen buttons transparent on stock launcher..???
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Didn't work on it. Yet.

Just found smali file that needs to be modded.

Edited:

This small file is responsible for reverting navbar background from transparent into black.

HomeActivity$WallPaperDimensionsSetter$1.smali

I guess something like this should be done:

This is for static wallpaper.

invoke-virtual {v0}, Landroid/view/Display;->getWidth()I

move-result v5

invoke-virtual {v4, v5, v1}, Landroid/app/WallpaperManager;->suggestDesiredDimensions(II)V

I guess couple of lines above I should ask for height and add 29px on received value.

That should do it. Guessing.

Any help is appreciated.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] vr5411:
Please, help me with understanding your proposal.

Notification space should be stock (dark but still just a little transparent).

And status bar stripe should be of same color (dark but still just a little transparent).

Is this correct?

Yes, that should be nice from usability point of view?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] BYTeXperience:
Yes, look at the photo attached and marked i will explain:

The red marked areas should be the same color (black) and at the same transparency (the status bar to be opaque as is the general background).

Now the yellow marked areas should be the same black but less transparent then the red ones (if can't be transparent make them the same black as the status bar but opaque).
