  1. Download your preferred file, extract it, copy SystemUI.apk from the .zip archive to your phablet's ext/int storage.
  2. On your phablet, launch a root explorer of your choice( e.g fx explorer with root add-on) or use the built-in R.E explorer( if you understand chinese).
  3. Copy the SystemUI.apk from your int/ext storage and move it to /system/priv-app.( r/w access needed)
    When asked, confirm replacement. If you are unable to overide the original SystemUI.apk, right click it to modify permissions( you need WRITE access) and try again.
    Understand you might brick your phablet if you don't know what you're doing!
  4. Restart your system. Voila! That's it! ^ ^

Which Theme to you use?

If you ask which theme you need to be on(Settings-personalization-Xperia™ Themes) — the statusbar icon is a SystemUI component, so it does not matter! You can run any theme, be it a custom theme or an official Xperia theme.
