Default Notification bar (root require)

I create this post just to tell people the quickpanel toggle from Xperia S work in Ion.

*Edit: My phone is bootloader unlocked and it is Lt28i.

Here is the post i follow:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1594947

Instruction:
Download only the SystemUI.apk (the rest doesn't work on ion and don't try, it will cause bootloop!!!!!!)

Change the permssion of SystemUI to
Owner -> Read and Write
Group -> Read
Others ->Read

Copy the file to /system/app (by using Root Explorer or whatever)
reboot the phone, and it works!!!

Warning: Make sure you know what are you doing before you actually do! If you do not follow this instruction, it might end up bootloop or the phone won't power on until you pull the battery (yes, i mean pull the battery)

So you are saying you have root on the ion? Care to explain how?

Which method did you use to root once you unlocked the bootloader? And I take it you used the Sony official way correct?

i just use the Unsecure kernel that posted on development to get rooted. The way i unlock bootloader is using the sony official way. I don't think there's testpoint trick on this CPU yet.

That's what I figured. Just wanted to be sure. Have you tried relocking the bootloader? Just wanna know if the file works.

The relock file work pretty well. But I have to reflash the stock kernel after that, otherwise the phone wont power on. Of course it will lost root after that. I tried couple times already, so pretty sure it work

Hmm well I wouldn't consider that working. Will have to pass that on to the guy that made it so he can look into that. Would be nice to have a working relock file where you don't have to reflash stock after that.
