Hello Guys,

After lots of trying & failing, I finally succeeded to get the illumination bar working in Stock JB. It now works like ICS and you can use it on all Stock JB ROM without flashing ICS first.

Note 1: I saw that Little Zed had a thread about this but since my method is a bit different than his, I decided to create a new thread. Hope no one's angry :)

Note 2: After flashing the zip----
  • SP light effects will be gone.
  • Illumination Receiver will be gone.
  • Install Illumination Bar Notification. It will work like ICS.
  • Initial Boot Led will work :)
  • This should solve the "Screen Always On" problem.
  • Walkman & Album will change color according to selection.

Note 3: If you ever wipe data, you'll need to flash this again.

Instructions

1) Flash via recovery
2) After booting led will be white. Just change theme and led color will work.

ChangeLog

V1:
- fixed bash script

V2:
- fixed end message :silly:
- fixed progressbar glitch.
- added a little sleep time during flashing
- no need to flash if you're using V1

F.A.Q
- if after flashing led doesn't work, then see this post HERE

~~Credits~~
@Little Zed for trying first to get it working

It'll work. After flashing, open terminal emulator and type this
Code: 
su
chmod -R 777 /data/lightservice.soc
reboot
After reboot, it should work. Just a temporary walk around. I'll fix it. Please try and report back :)

Yeap, after doing that, the illumination bar started to work again. Finally I can make a clean JB installation. Thanks!!

Flashed last fix but system is so lagging.. I'm using it on stock JB V5 by devswift1!
I also wiped cache and dalvik cache, using it from 2 hours and it lags

It just contains led files so I don't think it's causing this. Also I uploaded it 1 hr ago, how r u using it last 2 hrs ;)
BTW I'm using v5 also

OMG SO SLOWWWW :D

Just kidding, great fix dude, I'm impressed :)
Just the display brightness is now too dim on V5 with automatic adapting, but manually adjusting the switch seams lot better :)

Thank you very much for this fix o/

We all should be so thankful, even us who were trying to fix it so assiduously like you! :)

NONE, including first boot. :D :D :D :D :D
Even working with Illumination Bar Notifier by @rundgong!

HOW DID YOU DO THIS? No, no, don't tell either me or everyone, I just loved your magic… :D

I'm using an improved-by-me mixture of @DevSwift1's V3 based in 6.2.A.0.400 and others based in 6.2.A.1.100 (from them I mostly included newer apps, so it's mainly 6.2.A.0.400 yet but so stable as newer one). I won't change this primary ROM even if KitKat is released as stable as Jelly Bean for Xperia™ U. :)

I'd install KK as secondary ROM only. :D

By the way, cleverly written line:
Code: 
delete("/system/app/SemcIlluminationSetting.apk");
You've thought of everyone who might has installed that mod of Xperia™ SP light effects! You don't deserve that name… :p

EDIT: Oh, you were telling us about it in OP's note 2… I was as enthusiastic as you that I didn't read it before… LOL!

Ok, I'm piping down now. I just didn't know how to thank you, ouch… O[]ò"

    Updated the link with new fixes. Now you don't need to use terminal emulator. Just flash via cwm and enjoy :). And please report back.

    There's only one important bug:
    You wrote "enoy" instead of "enjoy" in installer script!
    No lagging, just like in ICS!


    THANKS A MILLION!

    You won the race! Congratulations!! :D
