Ok so I tried to make the statusbar transparent with UOT kitchen like for all the phones I had before, but this time it won't work!
I did a little search and found that it could be the status_bar.xml file that is responsible of that, blocking the statusbar to a black code color.
So I changed it toward a definite file as mentioned in a topic, my problem is that I am new to apktool
The apk didn't decompile completly so I can't recompile it.
So I am attaching the systemui.apk and xml file I edited, can you check it up and recompile this xml (if good) with the systemui.apk please??

guys i'm trying to add lockscreens to the rom i'm using, I decompiled classes.dex from framework jar of a theme which have the lockscreens i want, after decompiling classes.dex with baksmali i get 4 folders:
-android
-com
-java
and -siso
which files are the ones that contains the information about lockscreens?
edit*
decompiling android-policy jar i found the files of the lockscreens. what more do i need?
any help would be appreciated and I hope somebody can help me
thanks
i've search for a tutorial or something that help me, but came with nothing, thats why I post this
I am trying to port the Status Bar Tweaks here (the deodexed version) to my systemui with 14 toggles. I copy all the required (to the best of my knowledge) smali files and make the correct edits to status_bar.xml and ids.xml in values (again to the best of my knowledge). APKtool will rebuild the systemui.apk with no errors, which I then place in APK Manager to sign which is successful. First thing I do is copy the required StatusbarTweaks.apk and Settings.apk to system/apps and set the right permissions. Then I then push the systemui.apk that I have modified to my phone and reboot. When the phone starts, the notification bar does not open, or show, but there is no error or force closure either. When I check the systemui.apk with root explorer it is in the apps folder and permission are correct. Yet nothing shows as far as the status bar is concerned. Everything functions on the phone, the new settings shows the StatusbarTweaks option, the quickpanelsettings.apk works to change toggles and reorder toggles also. So what I am wondering, is there a line to have the phone start the notificaton bar that I am missing? Not sure if that is the case as I don't delete any lines from any files, just add to them. Would appreciate if any dev can offer suggestions or assistance to my problem which is becoming slightly frustrating LOL... I know if I can get this done and working I could probably port it to other systemui with swipe to remove notifications and 14 toggles. I have attached my systemui.apk if anyone wants to investigate inside of it and guess I should also mention I run XWKTM 2.3.6 rom on my phone. Thanks in advance for any help. My programing knowledge is non-existant other than understanding the xml files a bit, probably just enough to be dangerous.

Here is the zip for the 14 toggles, it is the one I use. After I install, I edit the systemui and then push. LOL you always say it is easy when I ask but remember I haven't the experience you have. So please, a bit more info would be greatly appreciated and thanks for response so far. (given)

Add features to your kernel( from XDA-U)
http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/adding-features-to-your-kernel
TIPS
Tip-1
Enable CRT screen off animation in ur phone(Will not enable animation when screen is turned on)(does not work on S5830i)
Decompile framework-res.apk
go to res/values find bools.xml and open it.
[/B]
Change this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
to this
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
If this does not work, look for detailed guide with editing of services.jar
Tip-2
Change your android version and name(just a superficial change!)
1. Open your explorer.
2. Go to system/
3. There's a file named "build.prop"
4. Long press and then open in text editor.
5. Find these-
ro.build.display.id - Build Number(Default: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2)
ro.build.version.release- Android version(Default: 2.3.6)
6. Edit, Save and Reboot!
Tip-3
Make status bar transparent(Only transparent for homescreen)
1. Decompile systemui.apk
2. Go to res/layout/status_bar,xml
3.Find android:background=FF000000 and change it to android:background=000000000 for full transparency and to android:background=5F000000 for half transparency.
4.If android:[email protected] statusbar_background (this name can be different) is present in status_bar.xml then you can find the image named statusbar_background in res/drawable-ldpi( or mdpi/hdpi depending on the device) and make that image transparent via image editors!
This simply means our status bar background is drawable and we are providing proper image for it!
Will add more tips soon!

I did, but not to you
Also, is the CRT effect not able to be done on a Gingerbread-based stock rom? I decompiled my framework-res.apk with NinjaMorph but, I can't seem to find the dir [APK ROOT]/res/values nor the bools.xml file...
Another question, is it dangerous to my rom's stability if I use somebody else's framework-res.apk? (taking into account that my rom's backed up though, it's not really an issue )
Ah, my phone is a GT-S5830M (same as the GT-S5830i)

I am also S5830i user but this method won't work due to unknown reasons! I'll edit OP!
Otherwise it will work on other devices!
Don't replace framework-res.apk.. U'll get bricked.. If u are doing ui changes just take the pngs and replace in ur framework-res.apk! But make sure resolution is same as that of original one!

It is yes, but you can only theme images it seems with NinjaMorph, which is why it doesn't list the folders that consist mainly of xmls, which can only be edited after being decompiled.
Was really a very easy n a extremely noov friendly tutorial.

Hello, guys! I am long time follower of xda forum, but first time write my question. My P7 is not rooted and I really would like not to root it(some apps compatibility) but I am customization freak and I found how to use Emui theming(some kind of layers customization). I combine many themes found here and in Emui downloader(all credits go to the creators), also edited many .png and xml files by myself. What remains not clear for me is how to change text font colour of the clock, carrier name and battery percentage in the status bar, I believe it is xml coding, but cannot find some example exactly for huawei how should looks like and what location it must be in the .hwt file. With some reading in xda forum I succeded to extract the system apk from update.APK file but all xml files are unreadable( something wrong) it should be in status_bar.xml in SystemUI.apk but I cannot read. So if somebody decompiled properly systemui.apk and framework-res.apk to help me just with the example coding therefore I will edit the colour codes as I like it. Thank you in advance!
