[FIX][5.1.1][any Xperia device] Status bar icons gap fixed - Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development

As we all know, in android 5.1.1 there's a gap between the battery icon and the signal bar.
I managed to fix this little issue :good:
What you get:
The gap between the battery icon and the signal bar will be resized
Your current LTE/4G icon will be preserved
How to install:
I asked serajr to include this feature in his Xperia Xposed module, in order to let this fix work on any Xperia with any firmware :good:
From ver 2.2.2 onwards this feature is supported:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63152553&postcount=1365
So just download and install the last Serajr Xperia Xposed (LP) from Xposed Installer and you'll get the fix
What part of the code has been changed?
If you like to modify the code manually or you need to add this feature to your rom without Xposed framework, here's the trick (very simple):
Decompile SystemUI
Enter this folder: res/layout
Open up signal_cluster_view.xml
Change this:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.SignalClusterView android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingEnd="@dimen/signal_cluster_battery_padding"
with this
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.SignalClusterView android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingEnd="0.0dip"
Recompile
Many thanks to @serajr and @moly82

Which rom are you using? I tested on stock and on "all-in-one" rom and worked flawlessly :good:
Remember to wipe cache and dalvik

not sure if that's is the problem though!?
BTW, if someone is interested I changed the zip so that it will back up the current SystemUI.apk, so in case of any problems like the black screen mentioned by someone, you can restore it (via TWRP > advanced > file manager for example instead of restoring your full system backup )

For some strange reason, my phone downloaded 64 KB of the zip, three times. Downloaded via PC, everything is ok.
Fix is great, thank you! Very nice to see it properly aligned, now I just have to deal with H+/3G icon being too far away from signal
I'm on hispanico's rom with serajr debloating method.

Not necessarily. Russian 4G has no problems for example.

Wajk's rom has 4G icon aligned properly, so I guess there is something else causing that

Yep, 100% sure, checked twice and the 3G/H+ icon is looking like a separate icon, rather than part of signal icon, as it was in 5.0.2 I thought that your fix is going to align that as well, but never mind, it's not bad

waiting for the fix to deodex rom ...

UPDATE
Just updated, now it works also on deodexed rom :good:
@pedro5148 you can test now
