Hello guys.
I already searched the web and xda and can't find a thread which explains how to change them.
I want to change the color and maybe the style of my status bar icons.i read about different methods.
I don't really want to use a different rom,with go launcher ex i've got everything perfect except the status bar icons.
I read that the icons arw saved in framework-res.apk. but i can't find any sets of these file to change it out.
I have a stock rooted s2 with android 2.3.6
Thanks for your help

Go to you SystemUi.apk (in system/app folder), copy it to your PC.
Open it with rar or with zip7.
You will get acess to the res/drawable-hdpi folder.
Unrar or unzip this folder to your desktop. In it are all the icons that you wanna change... change them as you like... Put the folder back on the apk using the same rar or zip7.
Now - finally - you will have to resign the apk again (search how, 1st time it´s hard to get it right).
Push it back to the phone, backup the original as systemui.bak, and write this one over it.
Install it, reboot.... enjoy
Thanks me 10x if I helped .

DONT RE-SIGN SYSTEM APK'S
This will cause bootloops.

Could i take the icons from a theme and change them with the ones from my stock android?

Which line?
Edit:
I meant to ask if you tried UOT kitchen??
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Its easy to use but if you get stuck just ask.
Even simpler, use the theme kitchen.
http://uot.dakra.lt/
You can even use it for odexed (stock) roms.
Thank you guys.
I will try the online tool.
I would like to press the thanks button but can't find the thanks button in the app and even in browser

There is an app called ninja morph which can decompile the systemuto your sd card for you to play with, it also can recompile it, backup and then overwrite the original

Thank you anyway dude
There is actually an app called NinjaMorph that you can get from the play store, its what I used for my S2 to changed some icons and you can do it all on your phone, the app will unzip then zip the apk automatically, all you have to do is pick the PNG your replacing the old one with, make sure you got the new PNG in your phones SD card that's all.

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right spot, but if not can a mod please move it.
Anyway I want to add a notification background to my systemUI, and/or change the statusbar color. I know what to change but I do not know how to compile APKs, so if there is anyone out there who would be willing to do it for me it would be great, I can send you all my files!
Thank you so much in advance!

It's possible, but you would need to flash a custom ROM that supports UI customization to do this.
Swap out images with the same file name using 7 zip but don't extract the ROM
Do I use 7zip on my Pc or phone?

Swapping out the PNG's only works on the computer I've tried on the phone but no dice. Again, make sure you do not extract the ROM, or changing the images will not work!
Correction: NinjaMorph in the Google Play store can alter images from the phone, though its a little bit harder to use in my opinion.

Okay, so I have downloaded Ninjamorph, and I somehow can not find the .png for the notification background for 4.1.1. I'm on the stock ROM, Do you happen to know what the file name is?

I believe that is a hex value in one of the xml files. you would need to decompile and edit the xml to allow custom png images as the background.

easiest way is to root your phone & install custom themes that have "XPERIA" logo of the home button
or change the image of the SystemUI.apk in res/HDPI folder
or use Xposed module & use XblastTools,it allows you to change nav bar image.
First of all,thanks for the answers.

It doesn't support 4.3.. Just 4.4 and I installed the xperia xposed module which supports 4.3 and it doesn't have option to change notification drawer background
Then try the gravity box jb..search it at downloads in the xposed installer.

If you want to change the existing pic then it is easy
* Decompile SystemUI.apk
* Go to the directory res>>drawable-hdpi>>there you will find the existing pic, replace it with the pic you need and make sure resolutions are same
* Now, go to directory res>>drawable-mdpi>>there you will find the existing pic, replace it with the pic you need and make sure resolutions are same
* Now again recompile SystemUI.apk and place it in your System folder.
The image is now changed
