Hi everyone,
I'm using the deodexed 4.2.1 rom on My Galaxy Nexus with a custom SystemUI.apk that works (it doesn't make notification and navigation bar disappear) taken from this thread.
I successful replaced unwanted image files in the apk with 7zip and now I'm trying to change the clock color in the taskbar.
I do the following things, in order:
1. Decompile apk with apktools
2. Change values of color in the proper xmls
3. Recompile apk
4. Replace SystemUI with the new one
5. Clean Cache/Dalvik and reboot
After that notification and navigation bar disappear. Am i missing something?
Help please! D':
Does the modified apk have the proper permissions?

I think so (rw r r).
That's my SystemUI.apk
I would like to change clock/date color in notification/toggle mode from ics blue to white.
Hey mate!!!!!
You must sign apk with signapk everytime you make changes into an apk.
http://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/ in dex2jar you will find d2j-apk-sign.sh/bat script
Seems that i told you bull**** coz systemUI never have to be signed...

So, restoring old "stock" SystemUI.apk you get phone working well again?

first of all,I really appreciate ur help guys and I can never thank u enough for ur help.
ok,I looked all over the XML file and can't find the exact line to edit,i thought its cuz im using a modified systemUI,so I decompiled the original systemUI and extracted tw_status_bar.xml from layout to compare but still can't find the exact line to edit.
I found one line only with the same color code u mentioned so I changed it and recompiled,replaced and fixed permissions then rebooted and the status bar disappeared ! so I replaced again in system/app and this time wiped both caches and still status bar wont show up ! so ofcorse I put back my original systemUI AND got it back
I've attached my systemUI so may be if any of u have some time u can look at it and have a play ! ??
I'm running stock jb 4.1.2 LSD AND its odexed
once again thank u very very much for ur time and help

hmm not sure were you found SystemUI.apk your working off of but its a freaking mess.
It looks like you compiled it with a chainsaw , Missing Dex etc all kinds of bad error jungle when i decompiled....
Anyway I pulled xml from it , made edit and packed it into worthy SystemUI.apk for error free recompile.
I then pulled edited file from apk and gift wrapped it for you vrtheme install.

oh my
Your apk is a mess as seen in screen shot so it would only make sense for you status bar to disappear....heck you should be in boot loops.
And this is only half of errors displayed within apk.
Lets start over,
This thread / forum its not the place for it , In the future you would want to go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
For now get your creation working on device , extract working copy SystemUI.apk , send it to me in PM & I will make color edit to its status tw_status_bar.xml

i'm sure my SystemUI looked twice as bad after my FAILED attempt trying to get a transparent status bar background with white text.
I'm trying to do the same mod of changing the color of the battery percent, but when I open the XML file both on my phone and on my PC, it's almost all scrambled and unreadable. Is there a special encoding it needs to be opened with? I'm using a stock rooted deodexed ROM.

You can't just extract an app and open xml files. The app must be decompiled first, changes made, then recompiled. If you are a noob, I would suggest TickleMyAndroid as a starting place. There is a thread.

Hi all, I'm newbie, and I want to share you guys the guide to make our status bar look like the Galaxy S4 (Specialy it has s4 white icon) .
-First you need to download the attachment, then extracted it
-Now you have to decompile ( or change extension to .zip and extracted it i guess) the systemUI.apk
-Next, find the drawable-hdpi folder in your systemUI.apk and replace it which the one you extracted in the attachment
-Recompile ( or compress by zip and change to .apk )
-Copy systemUI.apk mod to system/app ( remember to BACKUP your original apk)
-Use Xposed Tweakbox to make status bar full transparent and the clock to white, reboot and enjoyed
And sorry for my bad english :silly:

may be you have to sign the systemUI.apk before putting it back to your phone?
Maybe someone can help you make flashable zip. Easier to add mod ans people dont need to play with system files manually..

Don't sign SystemUI.apk - it's a System File.
Did you clear cach and Dalvik cache after replacing the File ?
please

3extract the attached file from 1st post
4copy and replace
5then unzip and rename to apk
6move to tmp folder 1st to change permission
and last move/replace the said file to system/app folder
result = "unfortunately systemUI.apk has stopped"
please help me, I'm a noob in modification like this.
sorry for my bad English
Ah, now I got it.
You can not extract apk Files and change Files.
You have to decompile. -> Try to follow here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203166
Only copy & past is not possible in this case
thanks
thanks mkruseonline, this link is what I need, already hit the thanks button for you
you make a folder, put everything in that folder and compress it ? What extensions you choose ( rar or zip) ?

Read first Post on Page 2
The reply up there I ask you becos' it's wrong, You can do this: Multi Select all the file > compress by zip > change to .apk. That done You need to decompile/recompile when customize the code, but now no need
Never unpack apks! This way you will lose signature.
Just take your apk,open it with WinRAR/7zip without changing the extension,go to res/drawable-hdpi and drag the files there. Then push your SystemUI again to your phone and it should work
If in the drawable-hdpi package there are also .9 pngs decompiling the apk may be necessary
If no one manages to get it working I will make a flashable zip
I think decompile is also necessary if xml Files are changed

thanks
mission accomplished for me
i was looking for this mod and i followed instructions on first post, but it doesn't work, because the new compiled systemUI.apk is not recognized by the phone (you can notice it when you see a different icon instead the red one).
The key is DO NOT ESTRACT any file, but only open systemUI.apk with 7zip, go to drawable-hdpi folder and drag files into it, images will be overwritten (i used only 2 files for this test, notification header and panel), then you can close 7zip.
Dariolob suggest is correct, do not extract files from systemUI.
For xposed tweak i followed instructions from youtube, search for "Make Galaxy Note look like the Galaxy S4"
sorry i cant post outside links
here is my mod:
