[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ro_explorer:
Hi guys ..

I'm not a developer so is beyond my knowledge to create custom roms and stuff, but using the little programming skills I have I can manage to play around with the APKs :)

After trying various XS mods I saw there are small incompatibilities in the framework so there are small annoying graphical and/or animation glitches. Giving that I decided to start modding the stock rom by myself.

This will be a work in progress and I'll update it as I'll advance in my modding skills.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible if you brick your phone by applying these mods. Apply at your own risk.

Do not forget: first thing after putting CWM on your phone, do a full backup of the original system so you can come back to that status in case of emergencies.

Please be aware that these files are not working on ALL odexed 6.1.A.2.45 roms. I have no idea why.

My phone has the following Customization Version: 1266-3278_R3G

Maybe the framework is somehow different form other versions. Please check your cust. ver. before aplying:

- stock dialer and type *#*#service#*#* (*#*#7378423#*#*), Service Info, software information

Current status of my phone:

- Rom updated OTA to 6.1.A.2.45

- Bootloader unlocked with the sony procedure (using fastboot and the key generated online)

- CWM kernel installed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1834129

- Root pushed to the device: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30320507&postcount=11

Next I took out the SystemUI.apk and I deodexed it (only this one, so it can be easily modded) and start messing around with it.

12-09-06 - a - CWM flashable: statusbar - 1% battery increments and CM battery style applied, as well as 2 icons changed in the pull-down menu (settings and delete-all notifications buttons): SystemUI_CMbat_120906.zip (attached)

The quick controls are from widgetsoid. I plan to replicate the 14 toggles mod but I will need some time.

12-09-06 - b - root stuff:: Delete at least part of the bloatware in the rom (I personally just moved the respective apks into a bkp folder):

12-09-09 - CWM flashable: statusbar - 1% battery MIUI style plus wifi, HD drawings (xhdpi): SystemUI_MIUIbat_wifi_120909.zip (attached)

12-09-11 - CWM flashable: statusbar - 1% battery MIUI style plus wifi, HD drawings (xhdpi), clock moved from status bar into the expanded notifications, next to the date, date rearranged, clock font increased.: SystemUI_MIUIbat_wifi_120909.zip (attached)[/b] - the toggles are from widgetsoid .. I will try to implement the quickpanel mod also.

Statusbar:

Expanded notifications:

12-09-16 - CWM flashable: statusbar - 1% battery MIUI style plus wifi, HD drawings (xhdpi), clock moved from status bar into the expanded notifications, next to the date, date rearranged, clock font increased, 8 toggles added to pulldown menu: SystemUI_toggles_120916.zip (attached)[/b]

Enjoy it!

I make no promises this will advance nor I will give OTA for anything ... it is just me trying to improve the experience I have with this phone.

You can use my files do to whatever you like! My real work was to understand some relations between the XMLs and SMALI files and also to create some pngs for the graphical aspect. I took the information for free so I'll return it in the same way.
