[Q] How can i remove this and change apptray icon ? - Sony Xperia L

Hi, there !
Can somebody tell me how to remove the one which i marked with red box (i don't know what's it called & i already put the screenshot on attachment) ?
I already decompiled SystemUI.apk using apktools, but i have no idea which one that i have to edit in order to remove the one that i explained above because there are so many folders and files inside SystemUI.apk :silly:
Thank you for your kindness & your attention

[Q] Green Gingerbread icons

I have successfully used the UOT Kitchen to modify the icons and fonts, etc. but I now want to add the "green if connected to Google" icons which I didn't see in the kitchen.
Can someone explain how this can be done? Can I just modify the framework-res.apk or is this another kind of tweak or fix??
Thanks
PS: I can't see any themes around anymore that offer this (I am on WB v5 + DL custom kernel at the moment)
If you are on stock rom you can use Achotjan flashable zip in android development section (i can't post here the link cause i'm on mobile but you can easily find it watching on achotjan threads on his profile)..otherwise if you are on a different rom..you can copy and replace icon.png images from achotjan framework to your! good luck

Thanks, I don't want a new ROM - just the green icons. I currently have green icons but not the ones that only go green when you are connected to Google services.
I am looking for JUST that part only.

I have used those once before, but the files don't exist on those links anymore. I would like a dev to explain if this is something that we can do ourselves, or if it is some complicated hack.....

I want it. Please upload if its not too much trouble... Btw i'm running wolfs tw v5. Will it work on this ROM?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I would like to be able to do it myself as I already have a customised framework and systemUI.apk.
If someone could explain the process that would be great.
you just need to replace the correct icons in the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk then replace them on your phone.
The way i did it was copy .apk file to computer, change extension to .rar, open it in winrar (not extract), extract the hdpi-drawable folder then replace icons, copy that hdpi-drawable folder with the new icons back into winrar and it will ask you to repack the .rar, after that change the extension back to .apk and copy it to the correct folder. The framework-res.apk one is ok to copy back but if you do the systemui.apk one you will get endless fc until you can restart your phone so i think you have to install it through flashtool?
I think that you have to replace the images without extract the entire apk otherwise you need to resign it when you finish! Anyway..framework is not involved..wifi and signal icons are sustemUI related only..i will upload it in few hours..then you can watch inside for the green icons and do it yourself! Pay attention..cause if you do something wrong probably the phone won't boot up or gives fc!

Thanks for the file. I am able to change the icons using the kitchen, but I need to understand how just replacing the icons gets them to change colour when connected to Google?? Is the code already there and the icons are all the same colour so we just don't see it with the stock icons?
I have made other changes to my SystemUI so I don't want to lose those changes - that's why I want to be able to change my own files.
Is it really just a case of changing the icons to get the desired effect? Is it some specific icons that are needed, or any icons? *still confused*

Mate..open the file that i post..inside you can find systemUI.apk..opne it with winrar and extract drawable-hdpi folder to your desktop..you will see all your icons..the images named "....fully.png" are colored green!! You must replace your current icon in your custom SystemUi with this ones!! Is it more clear now?

do you mean how the data icon and the signal bars change from green to white/grey?? cause if so then yes just changing the .pngs will be fine cause i did it with my own systemui/framework.
Thanks all. That's what I wanted to know.

[Theme] Battery Icons (UBKPD and maybe more)

Hello everybody, i got sick of my battery icon and wanted a change, but i am with UBKPD (2.3.6. for Argentina and some other countries of Latinamerica) and couldn't use any other theme or part of it.
Thanks to the thread of umarian and other threads all over XDA and HTC ManĂ­a (this in spanish) i figure out how to change my battery icon.
I attach diferent .rar files. In there you will find a folder with icons AND the file: framework-res.apk of UBKPD according to the respective icon.
Of course, you can change icons of your Firmware whatever it is (using this icons or those you want) following the steps of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431048
The icons i've used are those provided by umarian in that thread, some others that i picked up from other threads with mods for other firmwares. None are creations of mine. SO, IF YOU LIKE THIS, THANKS HIM FOR CIRCLE BATTERY ICONS.
If you have UBKPD firmware or you want to trie if it's usefull in yours, follow this steps (you would need to be root and to have a file manager with root permissions):
a.) make a backup, just in case. We are going to touch system files!!
b.) copy the file framework-res.apk of the folder with icons you want;
c.) copy it to the folder: system in your phone, there, change permissions to rw-, r--, r--;
d) move the file framework-res.apk from system to system/framework
d) reboot and it's done.
Advice: However you got all the icons to go 1% to 1%, i still couldn't make the changes to apply the icon to work from 1% to 1%.
Please, also, if anyone have a claim on the battery icon, let me know.
Since most users are on custom themes, ICS to be precise, replacing framework-res will result in loss of the theme.
So if you can share the png files then it will be great since it only involves drag n drop using 7zip.
Or you can explain in OP to copy the png from any of your attachment and replacing them in the one's current framework-res

Thanks. My explanation seems it isn't good. Inside the folder I uploaded are the png files plus the framework file. If someone wants to use the png files there are they, separate from the framework file.
On the other hand, in the link I let is the explanation on how can port the png files (icons) to the firmware they want. However, I don't know if this procedure works with ice cream sandwich. It works 100% in ginger .

hey, i dont know how to do that. but i can recommend that ( actually i am doing in that way)
1. find any systemui.apk that has the style what you want.
2. decompile it and go to res/values/style.xml
3. match your style.xml and your downloanded style.xml
4. try to simulate your xml to that xml .
hope this helps.
thanks bro...

don't try to change whole lines !!!
for example :
in your style.xml -- > <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.
in dowloanded style.xml --> <style name="BackgroundOnlyTheme" parent= @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.Light">
so you have to edit your line and add '' Light '' end of it. it will look like @ANDROID:style/Theme.Holo.Light
The important thing is you have to figure out what lines are related to your notification panel!!!
I am doing the same thing right now. I have couple cm11 themes and i am changing my sytles, colors, dimens according to theme's styles, colors.xml etc ..
I am using notepad++.
Just open the 2 xmls that you wanan check. Put them side by side and check the lines.
if something going wrong when your systemui get function ... you have to come back to your xml and check the line again.
The last say --> maybe you will need to change some drawble xmls and some drawble hdpi/ xhdpi/ xxhdpi files according to your dpi .
thanks again

maybe ... it depends on the theme's color and style. For instance: you will set your notifaction panel is white and if ur text color is white then you will not be able to read/see your notification you gotta see what's hapening after editing styles ... if it's ok then no problem. if it is as my mention then you gotta edit your colors.xml ...
i hope you got the concept of the work.
you can search any tutorial for editing notification panel. All necessary steps can be found. according to those tutorials you can edit your systemui.
For instance:
In the tutorial will say let's edit this line according to that .... you have to find this line at the xml in your lewa systemui and edit according to it
good luck happy theming ...

you can't edit any files inside apk by using 7zip. to edit you have decompile the apk's.
use Advance apk tool which is made for xperia. Search on xda u will find it
That Worked
Thank you "Xenon1978" for helping me. The way was successful and I have changed the ROM NAME.... Yipeee thank you once again.
