great, so there's nothing left for me to blame then :D

Frankly, i don't how to fix this problem even if i have this problem myself. What i'm trying to do is modding files right from stock fw rater than using glitschi667's files by following some tuts here in xda. And result of the first attempt last night is bootloop :highfive: looks like a long way to go for me.

In the mean time, i'd like to confirm this bug by asking other guys if they have this problem too. If there're a few of you have this problem i'll add this bug to original post, thanks you guys for reporting :laugh:
[Sony Xperia ZL] s0x247:
Thx. Nice mod :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] djsnoopyxxl:
Can you make a flash for a transparent statusbar with a black navbar (48 dpi )

thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] kumar abhishek:
Didn't work on my Zl .253 fw rooted :(

Help!!!!

Update - Flashed using CWM instead of TWRP and its working :)

Thanks for gr8 mod ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Hi, i tried that for you and guess what? Now my device is 1.307 TW because i got stuck at boot animation and restore system from backup didn't help. So I had to reflash firmware :D Looks like i have many things to learn and i'm sorry that i can't help you for now :crying:

I'm glad that it work for you guys. If you guys could, i'd like to ask for testing speaker volume issue we discussed above, thank you ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] djsnoopyxxl:
Ok

Can you change the dpi to 48 in your mod.

I can't do it, because my PC is dead.

The Statusbar is the last for my HTC One Mod.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Hi, sorry for late reply. That's what i've trying to do. DPI property is in framework-res.apk file. When i edit (including deodex & reodex SemcGenericUxpRes.apk) according to this guide..

[Guide]For Making Smaller SoftKeys

I got stuck at boot animation. And i don't know how fix it & lack of time. So i wish that you can revive your PC soon and share your mod with us ;)

And some update, i've tried 1.307 TW firmware lately. When i first try my mod on it i got boot loop, so i went back to 1.253. Then a few days later i decided to try it again. I tried original small nav bar mod and it work fine. so i tried reodex my mod android.policy.jar file and it work :D Even though i don't notice any improvement due to my poor observation skill. I think i'll use it. If you guys try 1.307 firmware and interest in my mod, feel free to try it :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] longryu:
When i flash this mod for fimware 307.i cant see navar bar and nofication bar.this mod doesnt work for 307 Tw????
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Hi, did you ..

- use cwm

- download .307 tw version

- wipe cache & dalvik cache after install?
[Sony Xperia ZL] butatx:
Transparent and restore .307 odexed work fine here. Flashed using cwm.

1. Flash the file

2. Wipe dalvik cache

If you don't wipe the dalvik cache, u will lose the status bar
[Sony Xperia ZL] longryu:
I do it all , flash the file , wipe cache and davil and dont see it
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Hi, could you pls try install 'X_softkey_36_black_253.zip' mod from this thread?

If it work, pls install my mod over it and see..

And i'm sorry if it sound annoying, but you flash it with cwm right?
[Sony Xperia ZL] longryu:
:rolleyes:i flash 307 file. and flash with CWM , and now have new fimware 4.2 . already have your mod:victory:
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
yeah, what a short life mod :mad:

Could you pls check that 4.2.2 transparent bars is working with custom wallpaper (picture in gallery) and other launcher (nova, apex or my fav. zeam :))?
[Sony Xperia ZL] rtimoff:
I think it's perfect on stock 4.2.2. On Apex it`s just black

It's SGS4 wallpaper
[Sony Xperia ZL] A320232:
Transparent application screen

Hello,

Is it possible to get a transparent application navigation menu that appears in a gray colored box? I would like the wallpaper to be fully visible.

[Sony Xperia ZL] sanjulgupta:
You mean you are looking for an app drawer with transparent background

I dont know about sony launcher but custom launchers like holo, nova, apex easily provide you with this feature
[Sony Xperia ZL] A320232:
Yes, that box that contains the applications isn't completely transparent. Its grayish. I want it to be 100% transparent so that I can see the wallpaper completely. :)

Hi, i added mod for 0.423 (JB 4.2.2) based on glitschi667's latest experimental version (which work great for me :))

I've followed same step as i did on previous versions. First, got SystemUI error, second, got only transparent nav bar. So i tried edit status_bar.xml and it work :) Hope you guys like it :D

I'd like to say thank you glitschi667 for his great mod :good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] kkd28:

Is it possible to do a smaller transparent soft keys mod?
[Sony Xperia ZL] A320232:
I got the Nova launcher from Google play store. However I'm unable to see the number of missed calls, unread messages above the small icons on the home screen. I then downloaded the Tesla Unread application and enabled the required options to display the unread count. It still isn't working. Any idea why?

Regards
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
May be this can harm your xz, but could you pls. try this mod on your xz first? I'd like to know if it working together or not.

If it didn't work, i can't do it for xz by myslef alone because there's procedure that need to be done on the phone. So, if you try it and it didn't work, would you help me todo some procedure on your xz for me?

It's possible, but i won't do it. Besides, I'll tell you how to do it manually :)

1. Install my mod.

2. grap latest glitschi667's mod with dpi of your choice.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2171768.

3. extract file framework-res-overlay-navbarxx.apk in system\vendor\overlay inside his mod.

4. put it in \system\vendor\overlay dir of your zl.

5. set permission to rw-r--r--

6. delete existing \system\vendor\overlay\framework-res-overlay-navbar36.apk from your zl

7. reboot.

I've tested and it work, see attached file :)

Is this problem occurred with my mod installed but not on stock one?
[Sony Xperia ZL] A320232:
genommu eccentricity

[MENTION=4089690]hellvy[/MENTION]

The problem is with the stock. I haven't applied your mod. The number of missed calls/unread messages don't show up on the desktop icons. Any solution?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
If that so, i think you'd better open new thread for your problem so other users can help you. Sorry that i can't help you because i'm noob myself and i didn't use that feature on my system.
[Sony Xperia ZL] A320232:
I should be opening a new thread, was completely lost. Sorry about that :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] kkd28:
Actually I have tried, but it turned out to be boot loop. So what should I do?

---------- Post added at 05:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 AM ----------

one more question, does the status bar in apps always look grey, coz i found a picture in this thread showing grey:)
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
You have to re-odex the modified, deodexed android.policy.jar file yourself. I'm not a good explainer, but i'll try :)

- Back up your system

- Read the 1st and 2nd post of this thread. I'll repeat those procedure here with slightly modification.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1608767

- Download Amestris_ODEX.zip from above thread

- Copy dexopt-wrapper to /system/bin. change permission to rwxrwxrwx.

- Download New folder (2).zip and extract it. It contain my modified, deodexed android.policy.jar file and a zip file that install overlay and modidfied SystemUI.apk

- Put my android.policy.jar in amestris_mod folder

- Put your original android.policy.jar and android.policy.odex in amestris_original folder

- Copy amestris_mod and amestris_original folders to /sdcard

- Set permission of /system to RW (i use root explorer)

- With adb

- Exit adb and reboot your phone.

- If your xz get boot loop, restore your system and stop here.

- If your phone boot normally, Install the my other zip file via cwm

- See if it working.

I don't know if it work or not.But this procedure is easier than deodex, decompile, edit, compile and reodex androidpolicy.jar file. But if it didn't work and you still want to go through it. I'll tell you every step i did. Wishing that shall not happen :)

No, it doesn't. I don't know if i understand correctly. But i think it depends application's background or framework things. If it has black background, status bar will be black. If it set to white like play store, it will be gray (our status & nav bar are in black color with transparent). If it is set to other, take a look my sample screen shots :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] alainmona:
Does this work with deodexed .423? I'm running a c6506 ZL just wondering so I don't lose all my data and stuff again xD

edit: as well can anybody tell me if this mod works fine with deodexed 423? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2339632

edit 2: nope doesn't work with de-odexed firmwares, my phones on infinite loop now and I have to somehow fix the system..

Can anybody upload a proper de-odexed systemui.apk?
[Sony Xperia ZL] accts:
There is a deodexed stock rom for C6503 .423 in the android dev section, pull what you need from there.
[Sony Xperia ZL] alainmona:
Yeah I fixed it and am not touching this mod again for awhile xD
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Sorry to hear that (even though it was expected). But i think boot loop should come from invalid android.policy.jar. SystemUI.apk should give you force close dialog after boot to default screen. And actually, my SystemUI.apk is deodexed but android.policy.jar is not.

If you still have some fate, here is zip file with deodexed android.policy.jar as i described in this post. you can try installing it one more time :)

For restoration if something goes wrong, you can pull your original android.policy.jar and SystemUI.apk. Replace them in my restore zip file (remove android.policy.odex as well). That should help you get your system back quickly.
[Sony Xperia ZL] alainmona:
Thank you a ton, i was trying to make my own deodexed zip so i could enjoy the transparent nav bar but you beat me to it XD i had no idea what i was doing and i kept trying to restore my previous navbar but then i just gave up and reinstalled my deodexed ROM. Thanks a lot Im going to test it out right now since now i have a backup

Edit: i just tried flashing and the nav bar isn't transparent but it didnt bootloop this time :) Oh! I heard that the navbar doesnt function with nova is that true? Ill try default stock launcher
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Nope, it works on nova launcher. Most of my screen shots are on nova. Did you wipe cache & dalvik after install? Or Pls. try changing wallpaper, changing default launcher back and forth. Sorry that it sounds like blind test :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia ZL] alainmona:
No worries haha I switched to stock launcher and now it shows up when I'm on my home screen but otherwise in apps it tends to disable. It might be because I have another mod for the better by krabappel I believe. Anyways it works fine I appreciate your help and thank you, well I'll reflash and post results thanks :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] kkd28:
well i update to 4.2.2 yesterday and the transparency is just official offered:D

still be so nice of you to help me! that's why i love xda:thumbup:
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
It's nice that you like 4.2.2 looks & its feature, but pls. note that stock transparency is available for home screen of stock launcher only. If you change the launcher -: nova, the status & nav bar will become black, if you open an app they are become black too :)

Also, i feel a little sad that you stop testing my mod. I'd love to know if it work on xz or not. And i will be happy if my mod working on xz :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] kkd28:
4.2.2 is great. Tell me what I can do if you want to do some mods on 4.2.2;)

if you install few mods so there's a chance that some of them wouldn't work as expect. pls try install my mod on clean system to see if it work or not :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] sanjulgupta:
Thanx a lot

This worked perfect on my Xperia ZL C6502 with Locked Bootloader and latest. 244fw

Yes the. 244fw :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] mayssam660:
it doesnt work on 423.nav bar & status bar disapeared.what shall i do?
[Sony Xperia ZL] bighleo114312:
one question will 423 work for 244?? both are 4.2.2 thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Thanks for your testing, I wouldn't dare testing it myself :D

Anyway, i've updated OP with 0.244 mod based on glitschi667's latest 0.244 version mod for maintain my humble modding skill and maybe the new FW has some improvement so we can have it too :)

Have you wipe cache & dalvik cache after install mod? Do you install any other mod on your phone too?

Well, you should know by sanjulgupta's post then :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] sanjulgupta:
[MENTION=4089690]hellvy[/MENTION] your welcome

I simply placed the framework res 36apk file in /system/vendor/overlay

Set permissions

And reboot

It worked

No need of recovery even or to flash framework apk or androud policy

Just root explorer :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Hi, i just noticed that my mod don't work when using lock screen. When i coming from lock screen the status bar & nav bar become black. I've never used lock screen so i didn't know it. Anyone can confirm this problem?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sanjulgupta:
No such problem in my device

When going from lockscreen to home perfect normal transparent bars :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
hi, thanks for testing :) I see that on stock launcher it's working fine but with other -: nova it doesn't work :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia ZL] sanjulgupta:
[MENTION=4089690]hellvy[/MENTION]

On Nova it wont work obviously(I tried also) coz I think transparent bars is just a feature of sony home launcher other than that all sony apps like messaging album etc show both the bars black
[Sony Xperia ZL] sanjulgupta:
It worked on NOVA as well

Just changed look and feel nova settings to Transparent Status Bar

And it worked wow

Even after lock screen :D
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Yah! it's really working. Thanks for sharing, i'll update info on OP soon :D

Update:

i've recheck it and see that Transparent Status Bar setting in Nova has nothing to do with my mod. It also work with stock status bar. But like stock launcher, it transparent only on home screen.

So, if you guys only need transparent status bar & nav bar on home screen with Nova or stock launcher. You don't need this mod anymore. If you want small nav bar, just install glitschi667's mod an you're fine :)

But if you want transparent status bar with other launcher that not officially support (i've never tried other launcher). Or you guys want additional transparent status bar when using some other app. Then this mod may help you, with sacrificed of lock screen (you have to disable it)
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoxxxx:
Does this Mod work on Apex Launcher? Thanks!!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Without Lock screen, yes :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoxxxx:
I tried it twice, but both time the navbar and status just disappear. Any idea?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
- Pls make sure that you download the correct version for your device's firmware

- Do you install other mod on your system too?
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoxxxx:
No, maybe I'm using the theme in apex launcher
[Sony Xperia ZL] motoxxxx:
Hey hellvy, can you please do this mod for deodex stock rom c6506?
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
So you're using deodexed ROM that this mod didn't work for right ? :)

For short, i can't do it for you right now, sorry. But if you'd like to try, here's cwm with deodexed android.policy.jar (SystemUI.apk is deodexed version all the time) that i have during doing this mod.

Hi, I have done this mod step by step and I used 267, when system came up I lost my Navigation bar and Status bar and I forced to reset my whole phone :( ps: this is first mod i'm trying, i didn't install any mod before this

my Device : Xperia ZL 2.67 Odex Stock rom
[Sony Xperia ZL] ren2008:
Me too, I lost them both on my first try. But I had every file I needed on my download folder so I could navigate in ES file explorer and finally install another framework res that worked.

I installed the one with the 5 buttons. I just followed the steps. Couldn't be more happier!
[Sony Xperia ZL] batrian:
Okay this is what I did, after loosing those bars, I managed to flash 5 buttons mod and everything is well now. (Im having 5 buttons and smaller Navigation bar) But what should I do now, if I want to make the bars transparent ? Do you mean I should push apps from zip one by one to system?

Thank you for your time!
[Sony Xperia ZL] ren2008:
Your best bet would be to install a custom recovery to flash anything you want. I haven't yet but placing file in system does the same except you can't really fix permissions.

I personally haven't tested yet so I can't truly tell you if it'll work out get you in a boot loop out something.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Hi, what's your custom recovery you use? if you're using trwp, pls try cwm.

Speaking of wanting transparent bar from your point (5 buttons mod), I'm afraid that you need to mod your file to get it. I haven't looked into 5 buttons mod but i think we edit some same system files. Which mean that if you install my mod over 5 buttons mod, the 5 buttons mod (or whole phone) should not work or vise versa.

But if my mod really don't work for you, you can get transparent bar with stock launcher or Nova launcher :o
[Sony Xperia ZL] batrian:
Hi! Im using twrp recovery. Actually I kinda didnt like the 5 buttons on my phone so I flashed your mod over it and it works nicely except its not transparent while using apps. What can I do to achieve that transparency with apps now?

and one thing, before I root my phone I use to work with Nova launcher with transparent nav bar (i donno how), but after root the nav bar is not transparent anymore even when I'm on home page. that's very weird. So now the only launcher with transparent nav bar is Sock launcher.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Hi, you can install my mod now right ? :)

For apps transpatency, my mod doesn't transparent in all apps. Just some apps that work -: stock camera & gallery, app drawer, etc. Sorry if that disappoint you.

For nova launcher transparent bar can be enabled in Nova setting -> look and feel -> transparent status bar.
[Sony Xperia ZL] batrian:
Hey, Yes I can! and actually it is not transparent even using Album or Stock camera and this is weird, Oh no its all fine :)

and one more weird thing, I check the "transparent status bar" it gets permission from SU, but it doesn not make the Nav bar and status bar Transparent. very weird.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Do you use any type of lock screen? My mod doesn't work if lock screen is enabled (i stated it in OP). Pls. try disable lock screen (Settings -> Security -> Screen Lock -> None) then restart the phone and see if it work or not :o
[Sony Xperia ZL] batrian:
Oh yes I use stock lock screen, i disabled it and tried flashing your mod again, still its same. Im guessing that i have to turn back the nav bar style to the very stock one and try flashing your mod.

Could you please help me do that? I really appreciate it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
Hi, without any responsibility, pls keep your systen back up in tact!

Pls try this quick hack. i modded the 5 buttons mod's install scrip to mine. I haven't tried it myself, so you're on your own installing this.
