I'm using the themed rom (10E) that was created by Kuma and everything turned out fine, I tried patching the file to remove the Q-Apps from the notification bar and I ended up making the entire bar disappear. Now the bar at the top is completely gone, factory resetting/flashing the zip again won't bring it back. How can I fix it and bring the entire status bar back? I understand it may be a problem with SystemUI.apk. If someone has a copy of that I can put back on my phone? As well as where to put it? Thanks!
Just replace SystemUI.apk with the one in the ROM zip (if that is the only apk you patched).

Hello all,
I am modding my notification bar but I am not getting the expected results. So far I have done:
* Deodexed my Atrix
* Copied the framework-res.apk to my computer
* Changed the images using UOT Kitchen
* Confirmed the imagens where changed, opening the framework-res in my computer.
So far, so good. But when I put the framework-res back to my phone I can see the notification bar black (the new color I have selected), with all text colors I set but all the icons still with the default ones, except the battery one. How should I proceed to change this stock Blur icons? I have looked everywhere and I have not found anything about it.
Thank and Regards
Ps: My Atrix is Retail Brazilian.
before trying that you should download the app "widgetsoid" it lets you customize the app bar to your liking.
try a different set of icons, im using the gingerbread set and it works perfectly
Are you just copying and pasting the new framework-res over the old one or flashing it with CWM?
You need to flash with CWM.
I was just copying it over and rebooting the cellphone. I will test also with CWM!
Thanks everyone for the help
On every phone froyo and above, when you're on the phone, there's this green bar that moves across and fills the status bar over and over again. Is there any way to remove this or change it's color?

I've never seen that before.
--EDIT--
The status bar flashes green on the stock Photon ROM. Apparently it only does this when you have a call in the background and are doing something else. I was not aware you could do this on android phones.
For example, if you have WiFi on and receive a call (the 4G/3G/1xRTT radios are off during a call), put it on speakerphone, you can then talk to someone and surf the web (such as check on something for your caller)
Yes. This is known. But I didn't ask if you can use your device for other things while making a call.
What I asked was while in a call and the status bar is flashing green, can the flashing color be made to change to more match a theme? Can that bar be made blue or red or any other color? Can it be turned off? If so, how? Changing the color would be nice.
Is this another digging into frameworkres or is there an easier way? If this is a frameworkres thing, can anybody post details? And if it IS a frameworkres issue, has anyone made a good tool to work with it and if not a tool, a good roadmap for things to change? A tool would be nice and I'm guessing the android community might be developed enough that it's been done, hopefully?
I have edited this. You need to go into the SystemUI.apk.
1) Download 7zip
2) Install 7zip
3) Copy your SystemUI.apk to your computer
4) Open SystemUI.apk using 7zip (Open Archive)
5) at the same time extract your SystemUI.apk to your computer so you have the folder and archive window open side by side
6) In both folders, go to res/drawable-hdpi
7) Look for status_bar_background_animation1 though status_bar_background6
8) Change them in the extracted folder, and save
9) Drag the newly created images into the 7zip archive folder and then close it
10) move the SystemUI.apk to your sdcard
11) Move the file again to system/media
12) Change permissions by longpressing to RW-R-R
13) Move to system/app
14) Reboot, Enjoy!
Hi,
I'd appreciate your input on the following problem.
In custom recovery, I have installed the aroma file manager, copied the /system/app/systemui.apk to the sd-card.
On the computer, I have opened the systemui.apk with WinZip. I also opened a zip file that contained the battery pngs of my choice - I highlighted them and dragged them into the WinZip systemui.apk window (replacing the original pngs).
I copied the systemui.apk back to the sd-card, rebooted the phone into the recovery, started aroma file manager again, replaced the original /system/app/systemui.apk with my modified systemui.apk and checked the permissions.
I rebooted the phone. My new battery icon is there.
BUT where the wifi icon and the sd-card icon etc. used to be, there is a black field now - i.e. the icons are no longer shown, only black placeholders.
Any idea why?
What can I do?
Thanks
mary-lou
Have you changed the status bar bg by mistake? Also make sure that the battery icons are of same dpi as stock. Have you played with any other thing? (Transparency?)

Hi, I haven't change the status bar bg and I haven't played with transparency.
BUT I tried again.
This time I used another set of icons (the icons do have the same size as in my first attempt, though), again I copied them from a zip into the systemui.apk -- BUT this time I used 7-zip (instead of WinZip). And it worked. No problems after copying the systemui.apk back to /system/app and setting the permissions.
I don't know if there was a problem with the first icon set or if WinZip was the problem.
Summing up, it is possible to replace pngs in the systemui.apk in an odexed system by just dragging&dropping the modified apks into the systemui.apk (with the help of 7-Zip).
Yeah, using 7-zip is mandatory while creating archives for android. It's the same with flashable zips. I found out that you even have to use the windows version, it isn't enough to use 7-zip in Linux.

I'm running 4.4.2 on nexus 5. All I'm trying to do is put a custom carrier logo image in the top left of my status bar. I used the method in this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/themes-apps/mods-guides-theme-ref-ics-mods-t1365810 to do it. Although this is for ICS roms specifically, I compared both status_bar.xml's from KK and ICS and they are VERY simlar. So I figured this would work. I like to do most of my themeing with the use of zip themer so I built a custom image (yes, its the correct size) called "carrier_logo.png" and stuck it my drawable-xxhdpi folder and added that line of code to my status_bar.xml and flashed the update.zip. When I reboot, the phone is in chaos and I get a repeated message over and over that systemUI has stopped, plus my status bar is completely gone lol. I'm assuming that line of code is just not compatible with KK systemui. So...how do I go about calling an image from my drawable-xxhdpi folder into the status bar's top left corner from my status_bar.xml?
Anybody? I keep trying different methods and SystemUI keeps crashing on me.
I really annoyed by the sim icon in the status bar, I tried deodex, decompile, edit some layout.xml and recompile but it force closes al the time, please help ! I want to remove it soo bad

I like the original one better, flat style indicator is not good at all
I tried deodex the rom and decompile the systemui but the sim icon is in pio files
I tried searching throughout the internet but there's no tutorial how to edit this file
Edit msim_signal_cluster_view didn't help, SystemUI has stopped or there's no statusbar at all
Please help, I tried everything now
I just want to know how to edit pio files
