I just want to share some small modifications that I made for me and for some friend 
Works only with lollipop by sony and you NEED a working RECOVERY.
All modifications are tested only with my z3 but they'll work also for the z2 as everything is the same.
General installation method:
To install these modded app you must put the zip in your internal or external memory and flash it through recovery.
Note: SystemUI, Settings and Phonebook apks are deodexed, by flashing my zip the relative odex file will be deleted.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!

- Navbar size
Just the height of your navigation bar, here some examples:
In the link you can find all versions from 28 to 48 dpi ( only even numbers ), stock navbar is 48.
WARNING: If your "back" button is a little bit bigger than others this is due to a problem in your SystemUI, you can download the fixed SystemUI that you prefer by looking at the section here below
- Modded Deodexed SystemUI v546.0.0 [only for 5.1.1]
Based on 23.4.A.0.546 SystemUI:
- navbar follows main theme color
- centered clock
- dropped statusbar follows main theme colors
- 4 buttons in navbar
- HTC softkey icons
- AOSP Lollipop WIFI and DATA icons in statusbar
- alternative AOSP battery with percentage ( you can enable it by disabling "battery percentage" in settings-personaliziation-system icons )
- maaany additional vrthemes
NOTE: In order to avoid misalignments of the statusbar network icons it's recommended to delete SystemUI-Overlay-285.apk in /system/vendor/overlay/ folder!
NOTE2: Close all button in recents is already included in Sony's stock apk.
In the above link you can find:
-UImod-v546.0.0.zip : modded deodexed SystemUI with all the changes listed above
There are also some vrtheme zips for those who wants to customize their setup ( and also to revert to the theme ones ).
You can flash more then 1 vrtheme per time
Before Flashing those vrthemes you MUST flash the UImod-v546.00.zip because those vrthemes contain only some files of the SystemUI, the variants are the following:

I modified the dialer call icon in order to follow the accent of your current theme :victory:
- [OLD] Autostarts in Settings [only for 5.0.2]
Based on 23.1.A.1.28 Settings
This is just a modified Settings.apk in which I included an autostart manager in order to control all the apps that want to start at boot
- Framework-res dynamic navbar for lollipop apps [only for 5.1.1]
Based on 23.4.A.0.546 Framework-res
Here you have a framework-res that introduces navbar's dynamic color change for lollipop apps that support it.
In this gif you can see the difference in some apps that I use:
- Google messeger compatible with themes
This is Google Messenger modified to change its colors based on your current theme, you can install it as a normal apk.
WARNING: works only if you enabled "super user mode" ( don't know why ), I suggest to use the wonderful xperia xposed module from serajr to activate it.
General installation method:
To install these modded app you must put the zip in your internal or external memory and flash it through recovery.
Note: SystemUI, Settings and Phonebook apks are deodexed, by flashing my zip the relative odex file will be deleted.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP FIRST!
