[Sony Xperia ZL] hellvy:
[MOD] Transparent Statusbar & NavBar (36DPI) Odex 1.253, 1.307TW, 423, 244 & 267

Pls. read this first

I've found this mod doesn't work when lock screen is enabled and you use launcher other than stock that not support transparent status bar. When come back from lock screen, status & nav bar will become black. I've never used lock screen so i didn't know it, sorry.

As far as i know, there're 2 launcher that support transparent status bar on ZL, stock itself and Nova launcher (enabled in Nova setting -> look and feel -> transparent status bar). But they both transparent on home screen only as we all know.

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 support (i've only tried Zeam launcher, i can't confirm others). 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). Sorry for inconvenient :(

Upadate 2013-09-26: Added mod & restore file for 0.267 Firmware. I fixed big back button by following glitschi667 and APatte111's info. Other resources -: 36dpi mod are based on glitschi667's 0.244 :)

Upadate 2013-08-07: Added mod & restore file for 0.244 Firmware based on glitschi667's latest 0.244 version

Upadate 2013-06-25: Added mod & restore file for 0.423 Firmware based on glitschi667's latest (experimental) version

Upadate 2013-06-19: I added mod & restore file for 1.307 TW Firmware. Just reOdexed android.poliy.jar file ;)

Upadate 2013-06-07: I've update mod and restore files. I've tested them back and forth a few times so it should work this time, at least the restore mod :)

Hello, here's my mod Transparent Statusbar & NavBar (36dpi) for my 1.253, 1.307 (Taiwan), 0.423 & 0.244 XZL Odex ROM. I'm totally noob for this stuff but i really need the mod so bad. Since there's no one do it so i have to googled around (97% on xda) to find the way. And after 3 nights plus a few tens of boot loop, i got this :)

Here's some note..

- Use it as your own risk (and bla bla bla :))

- I mod the nav bar based on glitschi667's [SOFTKEYS] smaller, black, cwm flashable for 350,434 and 253 fw with 36 dpi version, so you guys will have 36 dpi nav bar after apply this mod too.

- I also supply restored mod with original android.policy.jar, android.policy.odex and mod 36dpi SystemUI.apk. just in case something goes wrong so you can use it to get working system back fast.

- I also supply restored mod with stock SystemUI.apk, SystemUI.odex, android.policy.jar, android.policy.odex and framework-res.apk. just in case something goes wrong so you can use it to get working system back fast.

- As a noob, I so borrowed flashable zip file from other mod (sorry that i can't remember) and throw my mod in it. So if you guys have some concerns, pls check my mod carefully before try it.

- As a noob, I so borrowed flashable zip file from glitschi667's [SOFTKEYS] smaller, black, cwm flashable for 350,434 and 253 fw and add/replace my mod files in it. So if you guys have some concerns, pls check my mod carefully before try it.

- On my home screen shot, i use MRL3GS's [MOD] Xperia Z Transparent Dock - 253 odex to achive more transparent home screen :)
