I am putting this together for anyone interested in having your clock centered and if you are so inclined a bit of advice on how to change out some statusbar icons I will not be providing the actual icons but will explain how to do so if you are interested.
This should work on any one xl using stock deodexed sense but has only been tested on the att version.
First off you must be rooted and have a deodexed rom installed.
You will need some type of file explorer I use root explorer
You will need this app Zip Themer installed on your phone LINK
Once you have Zip Themer installed grab the attached file and place it in the folder on your sd card named zip themer.
Whats inside the zip? It is a compiled status_bar.xml with the center clock mod applied.
Now run zip themer select +theme and then select the zip you just placed in the folder then select build it when complete you will find two zip files on the root of your sd one called update and one called undo take the the one name update and unzip it inside you will find a systemui.apk.
Take the apk and navigate to system app folder and create a folder name temp.
Place the apk inside now fix the permissions to match the existing systemui.apk
Once you have done that move it to the system app folder it will ask you if you wish to overwrite the current apk say yes and reboot phone and you will have your clock centered.
If something goes wrong the undo folder contains a original copy of your systemui.apk so can replace it.
Now if your feeling more adventurous and wish to change out some icons as well you will need a copy of your systemui on your pc unzip it inside navigate to
res drawable-xhdpi folder you will need this as reference to name your new icons. Unzip the file attached to this post on your pc as well.
Find the icons you wish to use and place them in the systemui res drawable-xhdpi folder that is in the zip I provided make sure to name them exactly as they are named in the origional systemui folder when you have all your icons zip the xml file and the folder and follow the instructions above.
Please do this at your own risk I am not responsible if you brick your phone or anything else.
Updated
Statusbar icons that were used in my set up are now attached
For data signal only 4g is themed because that is all I needed I don't get lte and very seldom drop of 4g well actually I have never dropped off 4g since I had the phone. The saturn icons were made by me the other icons were from various sources so credt to those who made them.
Here's a screen shot of mine to show what can be done.
Using nova launcher and stock deodexed sense
what rom are you running?
Any chance you could upload the Icons you're using there?

oh so I guess this mod will work on my Rogers OneX which is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader?
oh and i'll be a fan of yours if this mod works on my phone with my current setup

I never tried it on a odexed file but I read through the entire manual for zip themes and no where did it say deodexed just root required. Let me look into some more when I get home.

If this framework eats your cat, i'm not responsible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12340498&postcount=109
so i saw this post and decided that i want those icons. so i pulled my framework-res.apk from the current ROM i am using (overcome 1.4.4) and modded the files inside.
THOSE ICONS WERE NOT CREATED BY ME. CREDIT GOES TO ORIGNIAL CREATOR (dunno who, i tried to find but couldn't find it)
attached are NON-flashable zips from various ROMS that are available.
More info:
-the widget below the time is minimalist text.
-wallpaper is from this app called wallpapercasa free from the market which i highly recommend. this app has high res wallpapers made specially for tablets.
-"S" icon u see is samba filesharing free from the market as well. best wifi file transfer app IMHO from tab to computer or vice versa.
-from left to right, the icons are: bluetooth, wifi, silent mode, signal strength, battery(%) and alarm.
Credits:
Original creator of those icons.
Natious for his flashable zip.
alterbridge86 for his wonderful ROM.
Galaxyer for VA Green theme and black settings.
DistortedWisdom for blue honeycomb theme.
Biospin for black call settings page.
Update (13/4):
-added framework for BOYPPC-V3 rom. thanks to wallah.
-added framework for Overcome 1.5.0-Beta. thanks to mkhattab.
-made into cwm flashable zips
-made some changes to the framework as i realized that when i charge my tab, the animation is screwed up. this update should fix the problem.
Update (14/4):
-changed to non-flashable zips as there's some problem with the flashable zip.
Update (18/4):
-added ZHKC2.2.1
-will consider sourcing for more battery mods from other forums and add it here after my exams.
Update (19/4):
-added Overcome1.6.0
Update (21/4):
- added links for Blue Honeycomb theme by DistortedWisdom and VA Green theme by galaxyer and modded to work on Overcome 1.6.x by DistortedWisdom.
Update (23/4):
- added Settings.apk with black background [tested only on Overcome 1.6.1] preview: http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1754/26105842.jpg
LATEST Update (24/4):
- added Blacksettings.rar - this is not a flashable. extract the apks and place them in /system/app for a black settings page. Currently only the account profiles page are not black. trying to fix it.
- Removed framework-res(Overcome1.5.0Beta) due to not so popular demand and lack of slots for uploading files.
Instructions for installing notification icons ONLY (without theme):
1. extract zip file.
2. copy the framework-res.apk in the zip file into your sd card using root explorer.
3. navigate to /system/framework
4. tap rw at the top.
5. paste the copied framework-res.apk and u will experience FCs and this is normal. DO NOT PANIC.
6. restart tab.
Instructions for Settings with black background:
1. download Blacksettings.zip and extract the apks inside to your sd card
2. copy or move all the apk using root explorer
3. navigate to system/app
4. tap on r/w at the top
5. [optional] backup your Phone.apk/Settings.apk/Accountsandsyncsettings.apk somewhere just in case it doesn't work for your rom. this has only been tested on Overcome 1.6.1
6. paste all apks
Instructions for installing themes ONLY (w/o icons mods):
1. place zip in internal or external sd card
2. boot into recovery
3. install zip

The themes and battery icon mods are 2 different framework-res.apk.
They are works of 2 different people and i will only combine them and post it here when i am free or when >10 people request for it. the screenshots you see are the result of combining them. i do not want to combine them because the original framework might change again when alterbridge releases an update for Overcome ROM and I do not know how to mod it to work on the new framework if that happens. the themes are done by DistortedWisdom and Galaxyer. i will request from them if ever there is an update and post it here. meanwhile i'm still trying to how to theme properly. if i know how i won't bother them again. thanks
hit some thanks if i've helped.

Do you think you can make one for Overcome 1.5 Beta?
I believe it has a different base from 1.4.4 so the same framework will probably FC like mad

I get installation aborted with 1.50BETA.zip from CWM.
These appear to be flashable .zips, but the OP still states that they are not.
Are they?
Anybody happen to know how to change the icon of the Dark Market? I have extracted the apk and placed my icon in replace of all the shopping carts pngs, replaced the edited apk with the one in /system/app. Tried to installed, but it failed and said "Application Not Installed". However when exit root explorer and open Dark Market the icon has not changed but the icon within the app has changed to my icon. Anybody know what I am doing wrong? Not signed correctly or what? Maybe there is an easier way to edit the apk?
UPDATED/Solved:To do... Extract the Vending.apk from /system/app place on sdcard by copying it not moving it. Open Vending.apk with 7zip: If you want all the internal icons changed as well replace "ic_menu_bag_market.png", "ic_menu_market_focused.png", "ic_menu_market_normal.png", and "ic_menu_market_pressed.png" within the "drawable-hdpi" folder with you icon of choice. Be sure to follow the dimensions of the image you are replacing. In this case they are all: 72x72. For changing the external icon that appears in your app drawer and on your home screen replace "ic_launcher_marketplace.png", and "ic_launcher_marketplace_apps.png" within the "mipmap-hdpi" folder. Make backup of Vending.apk within /system/app in case you messed something up. After replacing all those files push the apk back into /system/app overwriting the original Vending.apk (be sure you backed it up before doing this), exit root explorer or whatever app you happen to be using, and the app should of updated to the icons you changed them to.

Yo,
Old thread, but I just wanted to add my observations on this.
I did the exact same thing (as you edit on the OP) yesterday -even before I found your thread- and it did cause one or two glitches.
What I've noticed is that after modifying the markert icons (and 2 notification bar ones) of the new Market version I've found here, the Market would now display extra tabs which I couldn't see before.
I could see the "Top Paid apps", "Top Grossing" and 1 or 2 more similar tabs regarding paid apps. The thing is that I'm currently in China and those usually don't show up since they are somehow blocked here. Once I'd browse through those new tabs and scrolled down, they just became white pages. I've also tried updating an app and that worked fine and the modded notification icons also showed up properly. But I didn't like to get 3 or 4 blank pages like that and I've finally reverted to the original Market.
So yes, it works but modding Vending.apk without an official signature might modify its behavior/options so just be warned... I didn't check the logcats but seeing all that, makes me think that fooling around with the apk might create invisible problems that I don't really want to get just for a simple appearance change or two...
I have successfully used the UOT Kitchen to modify the icons and fonts, etc. but I now want to add the "green if connected to Google" icons which I didn't see in the kitchen.
Can someone explain how this can be done? Can I just modify the framework-res.apk or is this another kind of tweak or fix??
Thanks
PS: I can't see any themes around anymore that offer this (I am on WB v5 + DL custom kernel at the moment)
If you are on stock rom you can use Achotjan flashable zip in android development section (i can't post here the link cause i'm on mobile but you can easily find it watching on achotjan threads on his profile)..otherwise if you are on a different rom..you can copy and replace icon.png images from achotjan framework to your! good luck

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I would like to be able to do it myself as I already have a customised framework and systemUI.apk.
If someone could explain the process that would be great.
you just need to replace the correct icons in the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk then replace them on your phone.
The way i did it was copy .apk file to computer, change extension to .rar, open it in winrar (not extract), extract the hdpi-drawable folder then replace icons, copy that hdpi-drawable folder with the new icons back into winrar and it will ask you to repack the .rar, after that change the extension back to .apk and copy it to the correct folder. The framework-res.apk one is ok to copy back but if you do the systemui.apk one you will get endless fc until you can restart your phone so i think you have to install it through flashtool?
I think that you have to replace the images without extract the entire apk otherwise you need to resign it when you finish! Anyway..framework is not involved..wifi and signal icons are sustemUI related only..i will upload it in few hours..then you can watch inside for the green icons and do it yourself! Pay attention..cause if you do something wrong probably the phone won't boot up or gives fc!

Thanks for the file. I am able to change the icons using the kitchen, but I need to understand how just replacing the icons gets them to change colour when connected to Google?? Is the code already there and the icons are all the same colour so we just don't see it with the stock icons?
I have made other changes to my SystemUI so I don't want to lose those changes - that's why I want to be able to change my own files.
Is it really just a case of changing the icons to get the desired effect? Is it some specific icons that are needed, or any icons? *still confused*

Mate..open the file that i post..inside you can find systemUI.apk..opne it with winrar and extract drawable-hdpi folder to your desktop..you will see all your icons..the images named "....fully.png" are colored green!! You must replace your current icon in your custom SystemUi with this ones!! Is it more clear now?

do you mean how the data icon and the signal bars change from green to white/grey?? cause if so then yes just changing the .pngs will be fine cause i did it with my own systemui/framework.
Thanks all. That's what I wanted to know.
Ok, that was easy.
This worked for me. First im on JB_by_luxandroid_v2 (one s s3). I copied the systemUI.apk to my pc. Added .zip to the file and unzipped it. Searched for status_bar_background.9.png and used gimp to make these all black. Rezipped all the files to systemui.apk and copied back /system/apps using twrp file manager. Restart and all black status bar.

Flashable zip thanks to luxandroid (will also add black boot animation)
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach.../1/7/0/0/7/5/4/Flashable_black_status_bar.zip
This worked for me. All the tutorials out there say you need to decompile, modify and compile the systemui.apk. I did not have to nor do I know why it worked the easy way. So this might not work for you and might frak up your install (do a backup before trying).
If anyone wants to make a flashable zip or make this compatible with other roms, be my guest. I dont have the knowlege to develop this any further

Hi, I'm using nova launcher with trickdroid 5 s3. HTC status bar annoys me. Would like to get it all black. Would appreciate any help with getting it. The option was before in the tweak packade but that isn't available anymore. Is there a zip to flash?
Thanks in advance.

I did not encounter any zip to flash, but you could try decompiling systemUI by yourself, which I was too lazy for, so I flashed Pacman ROM.
However, you can download ICS Status Bar or Jelly Bean Status Bar by Team Syndicate, they overlay the Sense one with a AOSP one.
Tried the overlay from play store already. Would work fine on ics. Problem with jelly bean is whn you pull down the notifications status bar goes away, but the overlay does not. So that cuts away half of the clock and settings button.
Dont want to have to go back to ics

Didn't know that as I never had Jelly Bean and Sense at the same time Just go ahead and get yourself a decent ROM, and you're fine!

Just plain flat black.... i love it... the closest ive gotten is setting status bar transparency on home all the way in Viper ROM, either one 1.2.1 or 2.0.0, and having a black bg... But only good on home...
EDIT: I would love to remove the beveled look of the status bar....

I managed to decompile the SystemUI.apk couldnot find the obvious status bar file to modify to black, I assume there are several. Someone know witch png files need to be modified to get an all black status bar?
I have done this a long time ago on HTC touch but it seemd easier back then
been googling for hours, but cannot find clear tutorials on how to edit status bar pngs
ok think I found it. should be status_bar_background.9.png
lets see if I can get this to work with my limited knowlege
I found another way. Probably you saw that you can apply some themes in the "customize" app from HTC. Well, the devs of Virtuous ROM made some more themes for that theme chooser, including a holo-like one with a black status bar!
Ok, that was easy.

Searched for status_bar_background.9.png and used gimp to make these all black. Rezipped all the files to systemui.apk and copied back /system/apps using twrp file manager. Restart and all black status bar.

Here is my modified systemui.apk
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ewgoa0ryva7v5a3/SystemUI.apk
This worked for me. All the tutorials out there say you need to decompile, modify and compile the systemui.apk. I did not have to nor do I know why it worked the easy way. So this might not work for you and might F up your install (do a backup before trying)l
If anyone wants to make a flashable zip or make this compatible with other roms, be my guest. I dont have the knowlege to develop this any further

I found another way. Probably you saw that you can apply some themes in the "customize" app from HTC. Well, the devs of Virtuous ROM made some more themes for that theme chooser, including a holo-like one with a black status bar!

You mean Personalize in settings?
And can you please add link to that theme

Re: [MOD][LOCKRING] Easy Custom Lockring Mod
I'm guesing you created this using CROMI 3.4.1 since you just posted it but wanted to verify. Also I would recomend adding the CROMI info in the OP like you did for ur theme.

Yes tested on CROMI, but should work on all roms of the same base that is why I did not say for CROMI specifically, read notes at bottom of post.
looks awsum... about to try!
will this affect your colormod?
did you see anything to suggest you could mod the lockscreen to stay in landscape? drives me crazy

No it won't affect color mod as all it does is change the lockring image.
Never noticed that the lockscreen still rotates even with auto-rotation off, I'll have a look and see what I can do
yep... awsum!
these finishing touches are really slick!
thanks
Hey guys,
I made a short video for this mod, to visualize how to flash this (even if it's pretty easy) and how it looks like.
I hope it is helpful for some of you!
Cheers
All we need now is a source for lock rings images. I did a quick google images search for "lockring png" but only came up with other threads that had mods. Not the actual png files. Could we unzip and extract those png images from those mods? Does anyone have a link for just getting appropriate sized png images?

I found a few rings and I've replaced as described above. When I rezipped using 7zip, the resultant file is called ECLM.7z. Am I on the right track? Can I flash this file?
So I reattempted this using some 128x128 png icons from iconarchive. I renamed them as directed and replaced the pngs in both of the folders. I rezipped to .zip and attempted flash. Flash failed. I will double check my file names. Is 128x128 too big?
Thank you for this . IT worked the first time I used it.

No 128x128 should be fine for hdpi but not sure about mdpi?
hdpi 183x183
mdpi 122x122
Re: [MOD][LOCKRING] Easy Custom Lockring Mod
Will try again tomorrow and use different sizes.
How do I screenshot the lockscreen from the device?

I use the dock which has a screenshot key. Not sure if you can do this without dock, I think I remember seeing a checkbox in settings to get screenshot by pressing vol- & power but only see one for recent apps button now.
Here is a link to post for xoom lockring mod by wesamothman
Download links at bottom of 1st post are lockring icon sets, there are many lockrings to choose from just unzip and pick.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923594
Rezipped file needs to be .zip again, it can have any name (lockring-mod.zip, my-ring.zip) but extension needs to be .zip
+1
power + volume down= screenshot
there is a knack to it but right timing works well ... i don't have dock and is only way to take screenshot of lock screen or notification bar.
