I pushing a sysyemui.apk file and seemed to have lost my status bar and notification bar. I tried pushing the backed up original file in and the same issue... No status/notification bar. Tried fix permissions to no avail. When I look at the file, it says SystemUI.apk (no install)
Any idea how to get it installed again?

you cant install. Push, and reboot. that will fix the missing status bar
Thankks krylon, there's what I did, push the file, rebooted, but still no status bar, and when I look in /system/app the file says (no install) after it and it didn't show up in my app list either...
Sent from my GS4G using XDA app.
its a non-installable apk.
If your status bar still didn't show up, then you did something wrong when you made edits to it.
It was the one that was posted in the themes section that others had luck with... I couldn't get the stock one back either, so I just flashed back and did all the mods all over again. Simple enough. Thanks though.

Yea, I'd found the apk, and I've replaced the picture (just the dot color underneath the widgets)
Now my problem is that the damned thing won't install. I've tried just renaming it to zip and replacing the picture, and then using the apk manager to xtract, replace, rezip, and resign.
Both ways, I get "Application not installed". I know this is doable because I've seen other people with it done, but any help with what I have going on would be great.
Just checked and mine is in /data/app
called alei.switchpro-1.apk

Ok, so I unninstalled it via the market rather than the apps manager, and it let me reinstall... I don't know what the difference was, but it worked.
Thank you for the answers.
Hey all.
I was messing around today and decided to post this. If not for the current lack of development, I probably wouldn't even post this.
Just push twframework-res.apk with adb, root explorer or root manager. be sure you overwrite the existing .apk.
The screenshot posted below was taken on the fly. you'll notice I'm using TEAM AERODKNG's Notification bar... Frankly, their theme is radness, but I thought maybe someone would want a little change!
word up, folks. happy MoDding.

Quick question, is this twframework-res supposed to replace framework-res? If not i screwed up. I havent had to restore from CWM, anyway I can get my backup restored? I copied the original to SD.

LOL Corradokng hooked it up with a flashable framework-res.apk. Im back and will try this again. Im a goof ball and didnt check but since im back up i went into system/framework and see the following files, twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. I mistakenly changed the name and pasted, which softbricked.
I slapped myself in the head and tested again. Worked like a charm! I like the look, way better than before.
NOTE: Copy file to System/Framework folder
i wanna test it out. could just explain to me what you mean by push? where or oveer what do i put the .apk? thanks

go into framework folder and copy twframework-res.apk to a safe place on your sd card, in case you want to revert. With the file in the OP paste it into that directory, making sure you have w/r in root explorer or whatever you use.

try supermanager, root explorer for some reason hasnt been playing to nicely with system files and binary files.
if your follwing the process verbatim and nothing is happening try super manager or another file manager with root permissions. It should work without a hitch

Are you saying you have successfully done a full restore of a full nandroid backup?? If so that would be a big deal since I think that was the last issue with the cwm beta. Drhonk was saying he got a full restore to work at least without error but it hung on reboot.

@Ricky download file to your computer hook your phone up to the computer mount phone to computer (USB mass storage) right click file go down to send to and send it to the proper mass storage for your phone I have vista so that's how it works for me that should put the file on the root of your SD card open root explorer first go into system/framework go down to the twres apk long press it and select copy you will see paste at the bottom of your screen hit the back button twice go down to SD and put the copy in any sub folder you may want I use downloads then go down to the new file on your SD card from robbitt long press it hit move go back to system/framework in the upper right hand corner you will see a r/w press that then hit paste it will say it already exists do u want overwrite click yes back out then reboot should work with no problem.I think what u did was move the orig twres file instead of copying it hope this helps you.And thanks to robbitt love this mod sometimes its just the little things

You'll need to be on a laptop/pc to do this method. Before you get started, make sure you have a backup of the apk you're modding (placed on the sd card somewhere). Also wouldn't hurt to make a nandroid. In the event where you need to revert the old apk back, skip to the steps regarding moving the apk to the original folder.
Download APK manager, open it, place the desired system apk into the "place here for modding", run the script, and select the "don't clear out current projects" option.
Near the top you'll see "extract apk". Select this option, wait for it finish, and navigate to the original apk manager folder. Here you'll see a new folder, "out". This is where the apk you extracted is. Navigate to res > drawable-hdpi and replace the desired icons. Make sure the new icons are named to exactly what you're replacing (you should get a "do you want to overwrite" dialog). They should also be sized to what the original file is (or close to it). Once you're done, back out back to the apk manager folder. Run the script again, select optimize images, wait for it to finish, then run zip apk, then 1 (for system app). Your new apk will be in the "place here for modding" folder under the name of "repackaged-unsigned" apk. You'll need to put this on your sd card, move it to "system" first (this will allow you to change permissions), rename it to the original system apk that you're replacing. Change the permissions to rw-r-r (accessible in root explorer by long pressing the file and selecting permissions - first two boxes on the first line and only the first box on the next two lines). From here, move it into the folder where it's replacing the original apk, you should get a "do you want to overwrite", select yes. Scroll down to verify the apk has the correct permissions and that the last modified date is showing as recently. If you don't get an "overwrite" prompt, you need to move it back and correctly name it until you do get the prompt. Lastly, reboot. In some situations (e.g., modifying the Mms apk or other system applications), it would help if you cleared cache and dalvik cache (boot will take a long time). You should see your changes. Seems like a lot but it's very simple. Good luck.

Manually check via a root explorer on your phone. If you have one, entering it in adb is probably case sensitive. You'd have to enter it exactly as it appears. What ROM are you using?

Im sorry to bother you guys but I'm having issues with the MIUI theme chooser. I went into the (Themes) and downloaded from online various themes and lock screens through the theme chooser. I configured everything the way I wanted it I even backed up the theme, but when I go to finish and hit apply theme its says "Theme applied" but when I go back home nothing has changed. I then proceeded to reboot but nothing. I love MIUI and Im new to this rom am I missing something?

Hi everybody,
Today I tried to install a new SystemUI.apk (StatusBar) on my phone... I downloaded the apk and pushed it to /system/app and set the permissions as rw-r-r.
Unfortunately this app didn't work, leaving me with no status bar at all right now. In fact, when I navigate to the SystemUI.apk file in /system/app and click it, the root browser I am using tells me the app is not installed! When I try to install it, it starts installing but then stops and says "Application not installed".
I had, of course, backed up the old SystemUI.apk file with Titanium Backup before proceeding, but now the backup has just disappeared from the Titanium Backup app. As an extra precaution, I had also copied the old APK file to my SD card before trying to install a new one, but now whenever I try to reinstall it it also tells me "Application now installed"...
Please help me! How can I restore my status bar on my phone??
Thank you for all your help.
