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?

Yes, I made a nandroid backp for safety.
As per stated on my siggy, I currently have an Xperia S stock rom 6.1.A.0.452. With the new phone being with me for only 2 days, I only managed to root it YET and put a custom systemUI from around here. What I did was delete the stock systemUI.apk and stock systemUI.odex from system/app and replace it with the custom systemUI. Now my questions are,:
1. How do I get back the stock systemUI? Do I just replace the custom systemUI.apk with the stock systemUI.apk AND stock systemUI.odex? Or do I only move the stock systemUI.apk ONLY (not the systemUI.odex one)?
2. What exactly did happen after I deleted the systemUI.odex?
3. Do everything gets back to normal after copy pasting the systemUI.apk and systemUI.odex?
I did google first before posting this thread. Unfortunately though, it only got me more confused. Thank you very much
Sv: [Q] systemUI.apk and systemUI.odex
I think you need the odex file as well.. As the original stock is odexed.

Need file
I desperately need the systemUI.odex file for Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 running ME7. If someone has it, please send it to me or post a link. Or if someone can tell me if it's possible to find a deleted file after it was deleted using Root Explorer.

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

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

hope you can do it... better easy way :good:
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:
