[font color="red"]International leak Stock Rom XXDMC3![/font]
Anyone using this rom and wants a black status bar plus the 3G and 4G icons from the leaked stock Tmobile rom, let me know, I can provide the SystemUI.apk for this build, here's a picture.
As always, clean cache and dalvik, first make sure to do a backup of your SystemUI.apk in case.
This is to be pasted on top of the original .apk using a File Browser of your choice.
Things to know:
This modified SystemUI.apk doesn't contain a resources.arsc file, once swapped it keeps your original file, I believe it makes it safer, the changes to the .apk are minimal. It only changes your status bar background to black and your status bar 3G and 4G icons.

I wanted to get a transparent status bar because atm mine is just black and ugly.
So Iv read around places and it says I need to all sorts of complicated stuff with the Systemui.apk.
I was hoping someone who already has a transparent status bar could upload their systemui.apk so I can simply copy it into my phone
Thanks
im pretty sure you cant do crap with it unless the bootloader is unlocked lol. if it just install doomlords kernal and cm7 and just use a theme
You only need to be rooted. Because there are many options on tweaking the status bar to your personal taste, I suggest the UOT Kitchen. It is an online tool for themeing and for the status bar, you upload from your original systemui.apk and framework-res.apk, make changes and it will spit out a new systemui.apk for you to install.

Hello, I have been having a lot of trouble customizing the status bar icons for the rom I have been using, Radiance RC5.
All I am trying to do is change the Wifi, 3g, and Signal icons to the ones from ICS. I used APK Manager to open up and replace the icons and zip them back up. I then replaced them in the Radiance RC5 zip and flashed it. There is no status bar anymore. Went back to stock, then just tried to used the UOT kitchen (with gingerbread icons), with the same results, no status bar.
Any help would be appreciated.
did you pull the icons from an evo ics rom cus they mabey in the wrong size format if ya didn't
I am using a T989 4.0.3 UVLE1 rooted, otherwise stock. **DEodexed (added .bak to systemUI.odex) and 14togglesBlue.zip MOD added
When i extract the SystemUI.apk in Root Browser i find resources/assests (images in .png format) relating to the battery, wifi/mobile data, and signal bar icons for the status bar. The stock look is a green motif/theme for the battery and gray for the other icons, but included in the files are ICS blue colored icons that i have yet to see in my status bar, these .png files are named slightly different or are in a folder that is named slightly different.
If i wanted to use the ICS Blue styled icons, which i do, would it be as easy as replacing the green icons with the blue ones and renaming them?
Root browser allows me to extract SystemUI.apk so i can manipulate the files, ie rename and copy them, then when i am finished it only allows me to .zip SystemUI.apk
Is the .zip file created "flashable"? Is there a stndard/correct way of doing this?
Thank you.

Okay this is totally wrong.... lol
In order to edit any apk you need 7zip and apk manager or apk tool. And you need to properly deodex your system. Simply renaming systemui.odex to .bak will not "deodex" your ROM. I dont remember how to deodex anymore cause i dont run ROMs odexed. There are numerous threads explaining how to deodex so use search and google my friend
But you are on the right track. you could simply rename the .png files. But you have to rename them to exactly the same name as the ones which are being displayed currently. Or you could edit the status_bar.xml file and target the new .png files which is a bit more difficult but cleaner. Cause if you rename the new png files, you have to either delete or rename the old png files. Which i recommend the later.
Then you need to recompile the systemUI.apk with apk manager or apk tool (whichever you decide to use) google them both to get a better understanding of them. I dont wanna just "tell" you what exactly to do because i had to google everything myself, and in my googling i learned a lot more than what i wanted which made everything so much easier to do.
Also, when you recompile the apk, do not sign the apk. You could zip align the apk which i do to all my mods to ensure they are correct.
Hope this helped and good luck! If you need help just PM me or post in the thread. I respond to PMs quicker though. But have fun
So i used a MOD created by jim93 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1616189) to edit a systemUI.apk to add ICS style blue battery, blue WiFi status with blue/white upstream/downstream symbols, and blue Signal bars. All while maintaning the toggles and quick panal settings.
Now i would like to:
1. ICS Blue Clock + Remove AM/PM
2. Obtain a better battery icon with percentage inside battery
3. Transparent Notification window
4. Activate 180 degree rotation
I would like to make these adjustment on stock 4.0.3 UVLE1 software
I cant find a custom ROM that doesnt compromise on at least 1 basic feature, also very bad experinces with ROMs in the past. For me the Stock system is very stable and EVERYTHING WORKS
Can someone please help me locate the Files needed to edit these items, or at least let me know if any of my goals are completely impossible
Any advice or information is greatly appreciated
THANKS XDA!
if anyone would like my modded file (.zip) i can gmail it to you, really i only replaced .png (image files) no big deal

I have done most of these edits that you would like to try and I will tell you this if you search google with the information you need you will find tutorials on everything you are asking for. This is what I did and how I learned these fun tasks. Everything you want to do especially in ICS can be accomplished. Also check out a site called UOT Kitchen, it may save you on a step or two. Although learning how to do it is still quite educational as well.
over it
Of course i googled these topics, i google things ALL the time lol I've also used this site as a resource for over a year, tried all the apk modification tools suggested to no avail. Not understanding the instructions given here and being a tech/computer savvy person has made me very upset. This has caused me allot of stress and loss of sleep, Gave up returned my phone to factory settings goodnight
Thanks?
Just created a change in the status bar, fancied some different colour icons and the circle battery. So I used UOT kitchen.
I am running ARHD 7.0.4 and have rctweak v4 flashed.
Anyway, I created the mods in the kitchen I wished to use, uploaded the three files required from the rom.
I have since flashed the cooked zip, unfortunately the lockscreen has not changed (I selected Cyanogen), the status bar icons are still default white. In fact the only thing that changed is the battery icon which is now a circular battery icon as requested.
Is this normal?
In the uot kitchen you only needed two files from the rom
1. The framework file in the framework folder
2. systemUI in the app folder was all you needed to upload.
Thats probably where you are running into your issues you added to many files to the uot.

Try wiping cache and dalvik before flashing the zip.
Also you uploaded the right amount of files so I wouldn't worry there. It needs three for sense roms and two for aosp. It would only matter if you have a sense Rom and didn't upload the HTC framework. Sometimes too UOT doesn't know what to do with a certain file, especially on sense, because the layout of the file is different on newer versions. You could see if they have the version of Arhd on the droplist of specific roms instead of uploading the files by yourself.

I think the issue is with having RCtweak v4 installed. I'm guessing this changes the framework file and possibly SystemUI during flashing? Perhaps RCtweaks and the UOT changes don't play nicely?

Carefully select right folders for your rom in UOT Kitchen -> File upload -> Flashing folders for system files
Good luck!
Ok, now running ARHD 6.3, having the same problem.
Created the mods I wanted to use, uploaded the three files needed and then grabbed my cooked zip from the kitchen.
Flashed this but only the battery has changed. I requested the status bar icons be changed too and did select an icon package (g15 androidian), but these did not change.
I have cleared the cache and reflashed the kitchen zip but the same result.
I also checked the kitchen listing, this rom is not in there so I have no option but upload the framework, ui and htc framework file.
MAY NOT WORK ON OTHER PHONES THAN LG p930/p935/p936. If you want to try it on another phone be sure to make a backup first just in case it doesn't work.
If your phone uses xhdpi folders than you can port this theme very easily just ask me how, if no one wants to i won't bother explaining.
Basically I think the white status bar is terribly boring and dull if you want to change this theme into another color post here or pm me i can give you instructions. I will be making these a full theme probably soon but that one will change almost everything which some people might not want. See the screenshots for more info, if you don't like it after you've installed you can flash a cm update or reflash last update and it'll go back to normal, if you install an update and want to switch back to that theme the same flashable should work unless they change some of the framework for the status bar (doesn't happen often). When that happens i can update this easily so just watch for an update.
Install instructions.
1) optional. --> make nandroid backup.
2) flash zip file
3) optional. --> wipe cache
4) reboot
- also removes compression on framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk.
- zipaligned for proper Ram performance; won't slow down your UI drawing like some themes.
- playstore status bar icons will be added in the full theme (they aren't in the files included in this patcher, they are in the playstore apk)
- removed annoying emergency call only reminders from the notification tray
- removed carrier label from status bars (except under the data icon in quicksettings if you chose to have that icon there) but took out the extra line at the bottom with it as it's useless.
- removed transparency from qs/notification tray
- themed recent apps screen
- please report any bugs or icons that i missed (sometimes if you use a feature i don't i may have missed something and not realized it)
-classes.dex files are not modified, this means the system is just as secure as original cyanogenmod. If you don't believe me you can use 7-zip to restore all the files in each apk except "res" folder and "resources.arsc". sometimes resources.arsc doesn't get modified either. If you decide to do this i recommend zipaligning the apk again.
- if you want the a link to the kernel i use and my settings to get your benchmark up like mine just ask.
- with the default cm kernel and no OC i was only getting like 10500 or something.
