if you just want to change icon or the picture, the easiest way is by open the apk file via 7zip then copy the files into it. its also work if you change some of the script. just put the scipt back to folder. I've used this method to modify systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. it works fine for me.

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

.9.png Files are inside.

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:

did you mount system before you flashed the zip?
in cwm goto mounts and storage and mount system (if system is mounted it will display "unmount system")
remember if you are using a cm kernel like biels kernel you have to unmount system and remount it so its best to just unmount it and remount anyway just to make sure

The .hwt is just a .zip renamed .. download a theme .hwt rename it in .zip and unzip it then modify what you want
On old version of Huawei HiSuite we can create theme but only compatible with Emui 1.6 today we don't have any software this functionality was deleted .
OK, but when I unzip the theme, I don't find the battery icon in the nav bar, which is the thing I want to modify. I want to change it to another one, how is that possible?

Thanks for the advice. :good:
I also decompiled the xblast.apk but many questions came to mind, it's not as easy as I thought to just change one little icon. :laugh:
I find only 2 smali files for stock battery (B513). In Xblast apk there are also 2 smali files for circle battery, but I found many more battery smali files and I have no idea what exactly I have to change.
I have attached screenshots for the smali files I found in systemui.apk and xblast.apk and also the systemui.apk itself and xblast.apk
Any help will be appreciated.

Can you tell exactly what have you done? Because the method described by macklon should work.
You have a .hwt file (for example theme.hwt). Then you change the name of that file from theme.hwt to theme.zip, unzip that file and edit what you want. After that, add all files and folders (just everything extracted from the original theme.zip) to a zip archive (for example theme1.zip. The structure inside theme1.zip should be the same as in theme.zip). Finally, rename theme1.zip to theme1.hwt and that's it.

Ok, I exported all relevant graphical content from EMUI. To extract this all files, you'll need to have 7zip. Files are in 3 .zip archieves because of restriction of xda uploads to 20MB.
