This is my take on the .230 KitKat stock rom. I like what Sony have done but it doesn't quite work for me so I've made a few changes..

  • removed the battery icon and replaced with a big percentage
  • merged the wifi and signal icons
  • added network speed to the status bar
  • added an invisible button on the left of the status bar to remove that network speed
  • changed the tab style on the expanded screen
  • rearranged the header screen
  • put an invisible 'clear notifications' button on top of the clock in the expanded screen
  • put an invisible 'edit quicksettings' button on top of the clock in the expanded screen
  • added a brightness bar to the expanded screen
  • rethemed the softkeys
  • changed the navbar height
  • added reboot options to the power menu
  • removed the data traffic notification
  • added call recording to the dialer app
  • added a clock and battery percentage to the 'lights out' navbar
  • added a transparent pattern lock
  • ..and other little tweaks all in the name of minimalism and style!

And here's what it looks like in action:


If you want to try this out for yourself, just download the zip from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/uhgp2cd7dl2ozzl/Ticklefish_KitKat_UI.zip

Or, if you want to try it with 5 buttons on the navigation bar, get the zip from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/vg654tja6799y1n/XZ_KK_5_Button_Ticklefish_UI.zip

Flash the zip in CWM or Philz Touch. Do NOT flash in TWRP!

Oh, and your rom MUST be deodexed. If it's not, this won't work..

This zip will replace your:

  • framework-res.apk
  • SystemUI.apk
  • SemcPhone.apk and
  • android.policy.jar

But it will also create a flashable backup on your internal sdcard. So if you don't like my setup, you can easily go back to how it was before.

(Although you always make a nandroid backup before flashing mods anyway..don't you? ;))

Enjoy!

(Big thanks go to: @sandy7 for the reboot menu, @serajr for the brightness bar, @Erhany for the battery percentage, @Dzol Cp for the data traffic, @san122 for the ViewFlipper and @Rajeev for the .230 rom I've been working on.)

you really need seconds on digiclock? :)

Thanks guys! :D
@Erhany..it's not that I need seconds on my clock..I just think they look groovy.. lol

Y'know, I thought about theming the analog clock but I actually quite like the stock look. It's really only there to fill up the blank space at the bottom of my expanded screen anyway.
Maybe I'll look into offering some analog clocks with different appearances...hmm..

Whatever I do, I'm definitely keeping your battery text mod. It's worked on every version of Android I've tried it on and it just looks so good. :highfive:
@Ruthx..it's funny you ask about having the brightness bar on the stock SystemUI.apk.. Have a look here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/themes-apps/mod-stock-230-systemui-brightness-bar-t2785961
Posted especially for you! :D

    The 5 button mod is a modded SystemUI.apk. If you install that, it'll replace the SystemUI.apk from here.

    You could always try modding this SystemUI.apk to have five buttons.. ;)
