Hello, as others have already pointed out, in android 4.4 there are no stat_sys_battery pngs in systemui.
I would like to completely hide the battery icon but without being able to find the stat_sys_battery pngs i can't find a solution to do it.
If anyone know the way to hide the icon i would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Don't think its very possible to completely in 4.2+ roms, as the battery functions consist of the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk.
Have you tried using an Xposed module, such as GravityBox?

Yes... But when disabling it via gravitybox it disappears at first, but after a few seconds it reappears. Moreover, if i also choose a different icon from gravitybox, then i end up with two battery icons. The rom's stock one and the gravity one

Which device are you using? There's also Wanam Kit that can do it, I think.

I've tried wanam kit but it doesn't work... I've also edited the statusbar.xml in systemui.apk but they've changed everything in 4.4 and i can't find a solution. I've managed to hide both signal and battery icons, but i cant hide only the battery icon :silly:
I don't know if there's anything out like this for Xposed (have searched for the past 10 minutes and have found nothing) and my requests to the ROM devs haven't panned out. I would like to have an Xposed module that will allow me to move the navigation buttons to the left or right side of the nav bar. It's been implemented in certain ROMs, so I know it's possible, but I don't know how to make modules, so I hope someone who has some experience could help.
Thanks!
I would like to second that request!
Also how about moving the clock and notifications to the bottom like it was on JB?
Getting this to work as an Xposed module has complications. It should be easy enough to achieve on stock-ish ROMs, but ROMs which have nav bar customisations is harder to achieve considering that there are quite a few ways different ROM approach nav bar customisations.
Thankfully there's Thunderkat, which I'm currently running. But it would be nice fore there to be something out there for the masses who choose a different ROM that it might be compatible with.
I was thinking having the bar on the right side while in landscape so the bar has not moved when changing orientation, like what occurs in mobile phones.
Having a nexus 7 I havent managed to stay on kitkat as I can't stand the mobile phone layout, using PA in tablet mode to have both bars combined, now tablet ui is removed in KK I'm trying to find a rom that has a practical layout for my thumb.
Tried thundercat and it has the option of having navi controls on either side which is great but I cant stop to think that the bar is wasting space as you only need an inch of it, while you have a notification pane that could be on the other side.
I will have to find a way to have the bar like on mobile devices.
I would like this as well. I miss my old Asus TF 'layout ' they had something similar with the notifications on the right side instead of above.
Someone on the Kindle fire was attempting to port TabletUI to KK, but I haven't checked in on development in a while.

I requested the same thing in the xposed request thread and got no love. maybe you should ask there, too. squeaky wheel gets the grease?
Throwing my hat into this request too... I hate the way Android handles tablet UI these days, I really miss having the navigation near my hand when on landscape, but would like to continue using stock android with xposed instead of flashing a ROM, is this viable via Xposed?

Thanks for the heads up! (Although its tabletkat). Installed and works with XGELS and GravityBox with no conflicts. Although it will nullify any tweaks to the navigation bar that you've done with GB.

he onscreen buttons take up a ton of space. Is there anyway to make them smaller and transparent? This black bar on bottom takes up way to much room. I know in the past there had been options to edit them under the display settings but I am not seeing such options on any 5.0.2 ROM. (I have tried vanir and liquid smooth)
This is on a Verizon vs985. I am pretty familar with the build.prop if Editting it is a must.
I will even paypal someone money for a candy bar if they solve my delima.

Nova launcher doesn't carry through into apps, for example browser.

The OP appears to be running a AOSP ROM. Your suggestion only applies to stock based ROMs.

You can modify the framework files to get what you want. At least thats how one manually does it on ICS -> KK. Its not that hard. There are a bunch of tuts online, just google it. Or you chould change the DPI which would make everything smaller. There is probably an option in the ROM you are using. If not its a build.prop edit.
When I had my nexus 5, I was running ultimate dynamic navbar, udn playstore link, to hide and change size of the nav menu bar on the bottom of screen. I believe xposed and/or root is a requirement so double check and see if this was something you were looking for.

Nav bar can be reduced or hidden using illusion ROM, under settings/display.

This module for Android Lollipop/Marshmallow (5.x.x/6.x.x) adds the current battery percentage to the lock screen, notification shade header, and status bar. The app includes options for enabling or disabling the injected text, changing the position of the text relative to the battery icon, and changing the appearance of the text.
Note that this has not been tested on Nougat (7.x.x). As of Oreo (8.x.x), this module is no longer needed, as the battery percentage text is now properly shown alongside the battery icon when enabled in the System UI Tuner.
Xposed Module Repository
thanks for this module. it is possible to add an option so we can see the battery percentage text on the right side of the battery icon?
Not working on CM 12.1. I'd be happy to test out any test releases to get this working. This is something I miss from KitKat.
Thank you so much man @Extrinsic. It has puzzled me to no ends why there was no decent module for this very specific purpose. This is such neat & useful module. Cheers ??
Can you send a screenahot if the lockscreen? I wanna see what it's like, and hate to take risks (downloading modules and flashing things - i have tons of data on ny phone) for no good reason.

Just get an app which tells you the percentage. There are so many. I think "battery doctor" does that, and you could really easily do something like that with tasker.

LG G2 cm12.1 doesn't work. I now it has battery percentage built-in but it sucks, I want this one.
Nexus 5 stock 6.0.1 work OK
it seems that font size is smaller at status bar than at lock screen, don't it?
This absolutely genius module no longer works on most ROMs it used to. Probably due to framework changes in AOSP.
Can you kindly update it to work with current AOSP ROMs?
Plus, it never worked on any CM-based ROMs due to their customization.
Thank you so much.
New version (v1.1):
- Added support for unexpanded notification shade header
- Added options for customizing positions and font sizes
- Allowed injected text to receive alpha channel and color changes made to status bar elements
- Fixed compatibility issues with some AOSP and CyanogenMod-based ROMs

I've tested it so far on the 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 Google stock ROMs, CyanogenMod 13 (6.0.1), and Pure Nexus (6.0.1). Hopefully, it should work with most near-stock ROMs now.
This is an amazing module, I am loving it, thank you for doing it. It works great with the latest update in my Moto G 3rd Generation (2015) with stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It would be nice to have an option to hide the app from the launcher, as many modules have, and It would be nice to have more text sizes, or a configurable text size bar. Anyway, it is awesome, keep the good work!
Hi,
I'm trying to find a way of changing the status bar icons namely battery and signal without rooting. Is this possible?
If not, what are the consequences of rooting, and can I reverse it for warranty reasons if I need to.
Cheers
Mark

You have a lot of searching and reading to do. There are way more than a few options. Just the simplest "no root status bar mods" Google search pulls up everything you want.

without root you can't. And even with root there's no mod / xposed module specificly made for our phone (which uses own framework files).
To root you must unlock your bootloader, which means Sony (manufacturer) warranty void but laws in your Country should still protect you.
Now you can backup your DRM key which can be restored if you want to go back to locked bootloader (restoring DRM device key will relock the bootloader. search in the z5 forums for more info)
Gravitybox xposed module lets you add modded battery icon and color some icons and there might be other xposed modules similar. If you want, you can follow these guides to modify the required files yourself (needs a bit of learning if it's a new thing for you)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/xml-101-xml-modding-easy-t2929816
(there's a guide regarding battery icon on xperia phones, it might be useful also for Marshmallow).
As far as i know, since Kitkat, status bar icon editing has become quite complicated because icons are drawed by the system and no more rendered from .png image files.

Wrong. There are at LEAST three different xposed modules I've used off the top of my head. And there are oodles of no root options, all are from custom home launchers.

I suppose that a status bar overlay over original status bar is quite different from "changing status bar icons". Not even thinking about battery drain that such an overlay would require, it might be relevant.
You can't change status bar icons without root. It would be possible if Sony added this possibility in its Theming Engine.
But as far as i know, this isn't available.
Could you name the other Xposed modules that can theme status bar and work on stock xperia MM?
Does Xstana work for you?
Thanks

I've really been trying to force you to search for yourself to help yourselfs but you're both making it hard lol
Android theme engine, flat style indicators and xstana are three that I have paid for. Xstana being my favorite, flat style is limitless in style but doesn't show traffic. As far as non root idk for lollipop or marshmallow but kitkat there are mods that aren't overlays, you can even theme notification panels. Transparent status/notification bars were a big deal with a few of the themes I used to run.
Edit: I see you've said since KitKat status bars have changed. All the more reason to root.
