Here is a compilation of many mods which I have been using for myself which I thought the community might be interested in. Please bare in mind that I am not the original creator of many of these and credits follow below. I am merely collecting them all together so they are handy for those who want them.
Of course I am open to new/not included ones, so please post and alert me to them and I will update as regularly as possible. Enjoy!

Volume-rocker screen-wake
-decompile android.policy.jar and open KeyguardViewMediator.smali
-search for "WakeKeyWhenKeyguard"
-scroll down a bit and delete the two lines that start with "0x18" and "0x19"
-save and recompile
Faster soft-key UI
-decompile SystemUI.apk and navigate to smali>statusbar>policy and open KeyButtonView.smali
-search for "setDuration(J)" and there should be two instances
-in first instance find the line above it, starting with "const-wide/16 v1", change to "0x28" for medium fast or "0x0" for instant
-in second instance find the same line and change to "0x80" for medium or "0x0" for instant
-save and recompile
Get framework-res.apk to recompile
*this is hella time consuming, but gotta do what you gotta do*

I use Apktool and Notepad++, so this guide was written assuming that. I find it to be the easiest to use, but there are plenty out there to choose from.
Just added how to color of the soft-keys background. Obviously remember that this does not change the color of the soft-keys themselves, so you will have to replace them to contrast whatever color you choose.
Thank you for this wonderful info. Do you know how to enable the menu button even when it is hidden? I know that the systemui.apk has to be decompiled and navigation_bar.XML has to be edited. But exactly what needs to be edited is what I do not know. Thanks.
Thanks for everything in this thread, very helpful.....my only question is, if I decompile SystemUI and then immediately try to recompile, I end up with a different file size.
Im guessing this is not normal.....what am I missing in my environment setup to be able to decompile/recompile successfully?
Is it not possible to use the softkey background colour mod to make it transparent (ie. see the wallpaper behind softkeys) I tried editing the alpha to 00 but it doesnt seem to have worked or is another mod required to stretch the wallpaper into this area?
i'd love a how-to on modifying the lockscreen to include SMS and Phone shortcuts

Hmm, no I don't think so. I don't usually compare the file size (just assume everything is good lol) so I can't say for sure. Are you using apktool? The only thing I can think of is: if you are using apktool, you have to replace the META-INF folder (and android manifest too) in the new apk with the one from the old apk. So if you didn't know that, this could be your problem.

Haha join the club, I would also love to know that. Believe me if I ever find out, you guys will be the first to know.
Thanks for writing this up, I am trying to learn more about the process and how to do more mods, but I am stuck when trying to decompile .apks. I have managed to decompile android.policy.jar and framework.jar to do some simple volume wake and granularity mods, but I was trying to figure out how to remove the paging from rosie.apk and ran into a roadblock. I keep getting magic number errors everytime I try to do the decompile. I was getting the same problem when I started with the .jar files, but I was able to get past it by getting the latest smali/baksmali updates. I have been trying to use apktool and also apkbuilder but can't get past the magic number errors. Can anyone offer a suggestion to get past this please?
Thanks, for the tutorial! But editing eri.xml does not effect the carrier name. I am running CM9 on the Maguro (GSM Galaxy Nexus). Is the carrier info stored elsewhere?
And, could the app drawer icon be added to the navbar?

out of topic,can i decompile jar file using apktool?
Bump. I'm running miui v4 on toro (vzw cdma) and can't get the carrier to change either. Tried root tools also and was a no go. Anyone have any ideas where else the carrier could be stored?

GUIDE
This guide is about how to change battery icon and make it changing by 1% and continuously increasing animation by 1% while charging.
Actually this is very simple guide and many of you already know this.
Some of roms out there already have this animation so this guide is for users of rom that not have this animated battery icon.
Note: Since it is a flow animation so i don't know how to show you..i just upload some screenshots
I'm not responsible for any damage done to your phone.
Use at your own risk!

I've been attempting to get into theming, one thing i'd like to do is make the notification background transparent like I've seen in some roms. However, I haven't been able to edit the xml files necessary. I've tried notepad++ and some xml editors but I'm just seeing garbled stuff. Would someone give me some pointers?
Thanks

You need to decompile the apk before you can edit xml files. There are many ways to do this, APK Manager etc.

If your wanting the notification shade transparent you need to look in systemui/res/layout/statusbar_expanded.xml. Top line in the file just look for this
Code:
android:background="@*android:color/black"
replace it with
Code:
android:background="#88000000"
of course you need to change the code to what you want 88000000 is just a semi transparent color as an example. the 4.2.2 eqs is another story. I can tell you how to do that too if you want.

Hey Rayford,
Would it be possible to change the 'status_bar_close_on' on SystemUI to look
like the one on the GE roms, where it turns blue when pressed?
I know how to decompile and change stuff inside the apk.
Just not sure what to look for
Thanks

No problem I was lucky enough to have guys like @he_stheone64 putting out tutorials when I started theming
4.2.2 eqs go to layouts folder in systemui find quick_settings.xml & quick_settings_tile.xml & find the background tag like this
Code:
android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg"
change it to a transparent color like....
Code:
android:background="#99000000"
do the same thing in both xml's for the background tag.
last go to res/values/drawables.xml & find this
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="quick_settings_tile_background">#ff161616</item>
change to...
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="quick_settings_tile_background">#99000000</item>
that's it for transparent quicksettings.
This is a lot easier than the process of elimination I've been going through. I've always liked you Viper guys, had it on my One S.

Replace the .9 images and that should work. If not then you need to decompile both systemui.apk and put in the raw .9.png's of the GE one into the Sense one and compile it.. I would suggest Removing the carrier on the pulldown, should be located in the statusbarexpanded.xml I did a similar mod to my old Note II.

Just had a very quick look, but you can try the following:
Look for status_bar_expanded.xml in layout
Search for
PHP:
android:id="@id/handle" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_close_on"
The reference for the bg here is to the png in xxhdpi folder. What you need to try is changing that bg reference to the status_bar_close.xml in drawables folder, which is still there in Sense version. The code in status_bar_close.xml in drawables folder will help you, since it will choose the resources based on the state, see the following code snippet. I`m just explaining this, so you understand what you are doing here. So no need to change anything in that xml.
PHP:
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/status_bar_close_on" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/status_bar_close_off" />
</selector>
So change the code in status_bar_expanded.xml to:
PHP:
android:id="@id/handle" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_close"
Now also add a status_bar_close_off.9.png to xxhdpi folder and amend the status_bar_close_on.9.png how you want to see it (or grab both pngs from GE SystemUI, those are in xhdpi folder there). This makes sure you have both the resources for on and off state available, which are pulled now by status_bar_close.xml, since you refered to that xml as background in your layout file. I did not test it, since I`m out traveling since nearly 2 weeks now, so no time atm.
can the guide linked be used to hide the statusbar clock ?

android:id="@id/handle" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_close_on"
The reference for the bg here is to the png in xxhdpi folder. What you need to try is changing that bg reference to the status_bar_close.xml in drawables folder, which is still there in Sense version. The code in status_bar_close.xml in drawables folder will help you, since it will choose the resources based on the state, see the following code snippet. I`m just explaining this, so you understand what you are doing here. So no need to change anything in that xml.
PHP:
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/status_bar_close_on" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/status_bar_close_off" />
</selector>
So change the code in status_bar_expanded.xml to:
PHP:
android:id="@id/handle" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_close"
Now also add a status_bar_close_off.9.png to xxhdpi folder and amend the status_bar_close_on.9.png how you want to see it (or grab both pngs from GE SystemUI, those are in xhdpi folder there). This makes sure you have both the resources for on and off state available, which are pulled now by status_bar_close.xml, since you refered to that xml as background in your layout file. I did not test it, since I`m out traveling since nearly 2 weeks now, so no time atm.

cool mod frnd!!!!!
Nice mod mate. Though when I get notifications statusbar goes to the same black background. I tried modding status_bar_latest_event.xml but still the same. Any idea of what may be the problem?

No need, I just forgot to change the background in line 11 of my status_bar.xml. Turns out the status bar notifications and the normal status bar had different backgrounds.
Thanks anyway :good:

I dont think this will work on cm7 as you need to hack the systemui and then you need to build a theme with a transparent statusbar to apply in theme chooser
I wrote a guide all about this quite some time ago
you can find it

Why dont you use tinted status bar of xposed modules

That is divider for statusbar and launcher.
To remove that, install any other stock launcher which supports transparency.
Or
Decompile your launcher
open res/values/styles.xml
add this style
Code:
<style name="My.Theme" parent="@*android:style/Theme.Wallpaper.NoTitleBar">
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
</style>
now open AndroidManifest.xml
find this line (this line may be different in your rom)
Code:
<application android:label="@string/application_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_home" android:name="LauncherApplication">
add this code in that line
Code:
android:theme="@style/My.Theme"
Now that line will look like this
Code:
<application [COLOR="Red"]android:theme="@style/My.Theme"[/COLOR] android:label="@string/application_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_home" android:name="LauncherApplication">
Recompile
Push it in to system/app
Set proper permissions(rw-r--r--)

The gradient isn't perfect on my ICS Xperia Ray. It doesn't blend in 100% (see attachment).
This is a tutorial showing how to mod your SystemUI.apk to look like the one of android N (regarding quicksettings and notifications)
Look at screenshots at the end...
Note: in the Xperia X SystemUI, some of these modifications are already done
1- Decompile SystemUI.apk
2- Quicksettings and notifications modifications
- Go in SystemUI.apk > res > values and open color.xml with a text editor (e.g. Notepad++)
Search for the line:
Code:
<color name="system_secondary_color">#ff384248</color>
and replace it with:
Code:
<color name="system_secondary_color">#ff263238</color>
and save the file
- Go in SystemUI.apk > res > values and open dimens.xml
Search for the line:
Code:
<dimen name="qs_brightness_padding_top">6.0dip</dimen>
and replace it with:
Code:
<dimen name="qs_brightness_padding_top">-5.0dip</dimen>
Search for the line:
Code:
<dimen name="notification_side_padding">8.0dip</dimen>
and replace it with:
Code:
<dimen name="notification_side_padding">0.0dip</dimen>
Search for the line:
Code:
<dimen name="notification_material_rounded_rect_radius">2.0dip</dimen>
and replace it with:
Code:
<dimen name="notification_material_rounded_rect_radius">0.0dip</dimen>
Search for the line:
Code:
<dimen name="notification_material_rounded_rect_radius_negative">-2.0dip</dimen>
and replace it with:
Code:
<dimen name="notification_material_rounded_rect_radius_negative">0.0dip</dimen>
Search for the line:
Code:
<dimen name="notification_padding">4.0dip</dimen>
and replace it with:
Code:
<dimen name="notification_padding">0.5dip</dimen>
Search for the line:
Code:
<dimen name="notifications_top_padding">8.0dip</dimen>
and replace it with:
Code:
<dimen name="notifications_top_padding">0.5dip</dimen>
And add these lines at the end of the file:
Code:
<dimen name="notification_material_shadow_rounded_rect_radius">0.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="status_bar_expanded_header_elevation">0.0dip</dimen>
and save the file
- Go in SystemUI.apk > res > layout and open status_bar_expanded_header.xml
Search for the string:
Code:
android:elevation="4.0dip"
and replace it with:
Code:
android:elevation="0.0dip"
and save the file
3- Recompile SystemUI.apk with original signature
It's done, enjoy

Sent from my C6903 using XDA-Developers mobile app
nice share bro

Thanks for this hints - But some (like me) like to stay with less Xposed modules as possible.
I like to modify the apks for myself... Only direct code adjustments gives you the best UI experience.
This mod cost me 3 minutes. But with quite good apk de-re-compling knowledge - which may not everybody has...
Therefore I really appreciate if modders share there codes
@nreuge, is it possible to have tha carrier text shown on status bar expanded and lockscreen on status bar also, i tried it but it shows on lockscreen also. Thanks for dis guide!
Hi, I use cm13 and how can I change my lock screen clock and battery icon like Sony android 6 ROMs?

Guys, a beginner here... How can I recompile the apk with original signature? And after recompiling it says
Code:
warning string ... has no default translation
is that a problem? Thanks in advance!
PS: I installed the framework-res.apk.
EDIT: figured it out, it's working! Thanks for the amazing tutorial!!!

Guys, I'm sorry but I do mods only for the Z5...
I've not so much free time, and doing a mod means update it at every firmware update. It's why I've done this tutorial. I think there are enough people in the Z2 forum to do it and share it.
Hope you understand...

Actually, it's pretty easy mate.
Just replace the stock icons with the AOSP icons.
And if you don't want to decompile your systemui, you can use root explorer to extract your systemui and then go to res/drawable-xhdpi-v4 and replace the icons.
And after that, just compress the files inside systemui folder as a zip and then rename it to change the extension to be apk.
Push it to your system and give the right permission, reboot.
