[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] yohannenoia:
mine did reboot. umm. my settings wont work QQ. any fix?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] coios84:
allright, another user is using solid explorer maybe we should try that.

do you download the statusbar zips straight from your phone? do you extract them somewhere before u install them in recovery mode?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] yohannenoia:
i DL it in my pc then transfer the zip file to my phone , i dont extract them. how can i fix the settings?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] coios84:
which settings?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] yohannenoia:

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] coios84:

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] yohannenoia:

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] coios84:

Works good on ZL too!

Thanks OP for the port! The v6 works well on stock rooted ZL rom (.434) with locked BL :good:. It looks even cooler combined with the smaller softkeys mod :victory:!
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] SaGaR_:
Can i just reboot between installing options instead of mounting? I only want the black bars and smaller buttons addon
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Ch@rly:
For those for whom it does not work, you can give more information please.

What's your ZL C650X ?

What method to root?

What recovery?

Expand your installation MOD

Thank you in advance
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Mate, your problem was that root did not install properly. The reboot upon pressing mount system r/w is a known symptom.

The system didn't mount fow read/write and remained read only, so removing the odex files didn't actually take place causing a conflict with the mod and causing the sysem to ignore the modded systemui.apk and settings.apk. this gave the result you've had.

If you have this reboot thing, then before doing anything else, you need to redo the rooting procedure untill you get the system to mount r/w. Profit.

as a little offtopic. friend, every time you get angry that noone is there to help you out on a forum right when you need it, a little fluffy creature dies somewhere out there.

the ppl here are not dedicated tech support. they do not get paid. they have jobs and real lives and it is up to them to help you out or not. and if they opt in to do so, they actually do it when they have time to spare and definitely not because they have to.

when you choose to do smth with your phone it is your call and you are the one responsible for any consequence. and it is your job to do your homework before doing things.

so, pls be patient and polite, and everything will work out well. pushing will get you nowhere far. pls treat this as friendly advice.

[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], imho you should consider adding the lines to delete the odex files into the zips' installation scripts? It would definitely save the folks, who aren't so sure of their ways around with these kind of things some nerve.

but surely this is up to you.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Ch@rly:
Thank you for your message and your explanations.

What I saw:

1. the odex files are deleted when I do it manually and it is not created by the mods, because when I restored with solid explore, it does not ask me if I want to overwrite existing files.

2. in recovery, I have mount /data and mount /sd-card but not mount /system. I've

un

mount /system

What do you advise me?

Restoring factory?

What root?

What recovery?

Thank you in advance
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] shulmus:
Hi.

i think what heppens is that due to some unknown reason, you delete the odex files, but the new modded apk's are not being copied to system/app or the permissions are not set. because the stock files will not work without the *.odex files. on the other hand the modded files will only work without the odex files.

as far as i understand, what could have gone wrong is:

- odex files were not removed. system conflict and systemui and settings from the mod do not load -> no status/nav bar and no setting

- odex files are removed, but the systemui and sttings apk are not replaced = same result as above, but due to that the system files lack the odex part (that would be why it works, when you return the odex files manually)

I have never used solid explore, so i'm not sure how it works. So, pls kindly try using es file explorer it is free in play store, as it worked for me and i will be sure it's not the file manager that is the reason if smth does not work. for it to work you need to enable root access and display of system folders in settings of the es explorer and when your superuser app ask you - confirm root access for the es explorer.

- now take the mod zip and extract the systemui.apk and the settings.apk to some place

- find the extracted files and copy them to /system

- go to /system, long hold the systemui.apk and choose the more icon in the bottom right (the one with three dots), choose properties, where it says permissions - press modify, in the first column enable all three toggles, in the second one - the topmost one. press ok. do the same for settings.apk

- select both files by long-holding and cut-paste them to system/app. confirm when you are asked if overwrite.

- reboot

- tell me if it worked =)

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] nickkeung:
Sorry wrong post!
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Dpk1:
1. Mine is C6502 (Sim Free/ International version).

2. I used the goroh_kun method for rooting with locked BL posted by DooMLord here.

3. I don't have any custom recovery installed as the one posted for locked BL here doesn't work for me (leads to random reboots).

4. So, I installed this mod along with the smaller softkeys mod manually using ES file explorer (root explorer). I have posted how to manually install softkeys mod here (post #42). Same can be done for this mod.

- Just backup all the original system apk/odex files (which need to be replaced/deleted) before u begin, so that u may revert back if so required.

- Download the v6 mod zip posted in OP, extract the apk files & copy to internal storage, delete the two odex files mentioned in OP, then copy paste the extracted apk files from internal storage to system/app & change permisisions (to rw- r-- r--), reboot & u are done!

If u want both mods then first install smaller sofkeys mod & then this one (as explained).
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Ch@rly:
Same with NO

By copying the files in raw, it works :)

Thank you to you

So it does not work through my recovery.

How do I install the mod APM.

I looked in the archive and there are files that I have just replaced?

I know I'm in the wrong topic .....
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] shadow532:
For those who can't get this working.

1. Use root explorer or something similar to delete Settings.odex and SystemUI.odex

2. Go into recovery

3. Go to "mount and storage"

4. Select "mount /system"

5. Flash the anything from option 1 or option 2 of the mod.

6. Repeat step 3 & 4

7. Flash anything in option 4 of the mod.

8. Reboot and enjoy

*When asked to disable recovery flasher select "no"

Thank me if I have helped thanks.:)
