Ok guys I'm posting this thread as I couldn't find a post which was easy to understand for newbies(like me) to customise the status bar.
This is pure basic and any noob can do it....
Doesn't involve decompiling of Apk...
[EDIT]:As pointed out by arunsai123 TRANSPARENT STATUS BAR MOD with this method works only for gingerbread roms [I GUESS NEVER TESTED IT ]
SOME MODS MAY REQUIRE YOU TO DO SOME SMALI EDITING SO THESE STEPS WONT WORK OUT [BUMMER]
Works universally for all ROMS!!
Prerequisite :
1.File manager with root explorer
2.7 zip or winrar (I used 7zip)
3.Image editing software (eghotoshop) (optional)
4.Offcourse basic computer knowledge.
Steps:
1.Navigate to /system/app and copy Systemui. Apk to root of your sd card
2.Copy the Apk to your pc.
(You can also pull /system/app/Systemui. Apk using adb)
3.Now open the Apk using 7zip and navigate to /res/drawable-mdpi
Here you can see the different icons used by your ui.
4.Now identify the. Image you need to edit (can be understood easily as the file names are self explanatory) (eg the image for notification. Drawer. Background is status_bar_background.png)
5.Extract that image out of the archive and edit using an image editing tool
6.Now drag the edied image back into 7zip Approve the prompt to replace the existing file.
(Or you can replace it with an already created image(Take care that it is of the same name, resolution and format.
7.Now copy this to your phone and replace the original. Systemui. Apk with the new one. (the process Systemui may force close and your status bar dissappear.... DON'T PANIC)
(You can also push using adb)
8.Now reboot to recovery and fix permission (inside advanced menu)
9.That's it you will be welcomed by your own home made status bar at your next reboot.
If you liked the status bar icon /background of any rom then they can extracted by opening the zip file of the rom and navigating to /system/app
Then extracting the Systemui. Apk
Extract Systemui . Apk using 7zip and finding the required files
Then put these in your Systemui. Apk using the steps above
If you release your mods please give credit to the creators of original images(If you use anybody else's images)
People searching for transparent status bars can do it easily by this method..
Just replace status_bar_background.png with a transparent or translucent image...
[EDIT]:attached a translucent background
Can we try this on owr phone using xplorer ( filemanager) and some image editing tool
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
Offcourse you can............any filemanager (personally recommend es file explorer) with root access can be used just remember to.enable root explorer and mount system as writable otherwise you won't be able to access those files.......
Also remember status icons may have more than 1 image....1 for each state so edit all of them otherwise these icons can go real nasty....
Wrong

Do you think just Replacing the png with transparent one will give transparent mod?
Try your mod in any ics rom and give me proof. Transparent status bar requires some xml,smali editing along with png replacement .
Status bar disappear even after fixing per.

i think i followed your steps correctly:
- copied systemui.apk from internal memory to SDcard;
- i copied and past (overwrote) ALL the battery images from jaggyjags ROM to /res/drawable-mdpi in the SDcard;
- i enabled root explorer and mount system as writable in ES explorer file;
- copied the new systemui.apk from SDcard to /system/app (in internal memory);
- status bar disappeared and an error message kept showing off;
- i turned the phone off -> went in recovery -> advanced -> fix permission;
- rebooted the system.
that's all i did...

For battery you have to change icons in two apks one on systemui.apk and another in framework-res or com.HTC.resources....
I don't remember because it's been a while since I themed sense 3.5...
You can extract and examine both..

If you cooked it as you say you would know, icons are in systemUI apk and framework apk
They ain't overly difficult to replace
You don't even need to make a cwm zip, just edit, use root explorer and overwrite originals in /system/app, framework will cause fc/hot reboot, systemUI crashes statusbar (ofc), and best to hot reboot afterwords anyways

Hi there! Just wanna share..
Just a basic background on how to theme your ROMS. - ofcourse, give thanks to the developer of your ROMs! .
I made this thread for those users who have personal wishes for their Phones. Ofcourse, ROM developers cannot please all of its users. so just make your own and be happy!.
I just made it easy for easy understanding and for the newbies.
Tried so many times and tested
I've already tried editing the systemUI.apk of different ROMs.
Here's what I did :
FIRST : Download 7zip to open the archived apk. - that's free.
Extracting first the Zip File..
(make sure you copy the original before extracting it for back up)
1. Download the ROM.zip and extract it to your PC.
2. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi/Mdpi/hdpi
3. View the PNG files you wanted to change and make sure to remember its' file name.
4. After editing/changing the file/image you wanted, you can save it anywhere from your PC, let's say on your Desktop.
- Make sure that the file name still remains as is..
*After you're done editing, updating the PNG files you wish to change, follow this steps to update the zip file :
NOTE : You can apply transparency by editing the PNG file to photoshop by reducing the opacity of the image
1. Go to the original ZIP file of ROM.Zip from your PC
2. Right Click the folder and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive
3. Close all of windows/Browers (or minimize)
4. Go to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi/mdpi/hdpi and it will open a new window of 7zip showing the files inside the zip.
5. Now, given your edited PNG files or downloaded png files (assuming that files are located in your desktop). - Click and simply DRAG the file(s) from your desktop to \system\app\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-ldpi\ mdpi/hdpi
6. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
7. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
8. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
9. Close the 7zip window and that's it!.
You can now install the .zip by copying the UPDATED zip file to your SD Card.
(Note: Make sure to copy the updated one, not the backed up one)
Install the zip file from the original thread's instructions and reboot twice.
After that, you have now a customized systemUI.apk.
For those who do not want to reinstall the whole package.. follow these steps:
1. I assumed that you have the zip file of your ROM.
2. Extract it and go to \system\app\
3. Separate the SystemUi.apk - put it on your desktop. create a back up,
Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> extract here - just to view the files you wanted to change.
Just go the folder and search for the PNG files.
4. Right Click SystemUi.apk and select 7 ZIP -->> open archive.
5. Go to \res\drawable-ldpi/mdpi/hdpi
6. Click and simply DRAG the PNG file(s) from your desktop to \res\drawable-ldpi/mdpi/hdpi
7. It will ask you to confirm the action for it will replace the existing PNG file that you're trying to change.
8. Make sure that the file name of the one you edited/downloaded are THE SAME. -
9. After dragging and replacing the files you wanted, then you're good to go!
APPLYING :
1. Download and install rootexplorer.apk
2. Download the png files you wanted to update.
3. Copy and paste the NEW SystemUi.apk that you have updated/Edited to your SD card.
4. Open root explorer in your galaxy y then go and tap MOUNT R/W.
5. Go to \SDCard and go to new SystemUI.apk that you have updated.
6. Long press the file and select copy
7. Press back and go to \system\app - tap MOUNT R/W at the top.
8. Paste the new SystemUI.apk from there.
(Note : You will encounter a lot of force closes for the exixsting systemui is currently being used by your phone. - just ignore it a lot and scroll down to look for the new SystemUI.apk.
9. Once you get there, long press on it and select permissions:
from the pop up, make the checked one like this :
•___•____ •
•___ .____.
•___ .____.
where Dots are the checked one - Bigger dots
After encountering a lot of force closes, then reboot the phone and that's it!
(Force Closes are normal, DON't PANIC - logically, you are currently using your systemUI.apk so just ignore it)
NOTE : You can also apply the same steps in editing system files apps, just edit the .png files and locate it using 7zip(when you already opened it). Have a little LOGIC on how to edit system app background - same process. just different apk files and directory .

Sent from my C6903 using xda premium
Not sure if it's me but the screen shot seems to be tiny (56*100)
Yes, I well upload a better one later.
It's not really useful because it's a screen shot of a transparent background

Its not from my phone but from a someone who uses this in the xperia T
But it shows that the pull down notification background is transparent
I have small navbar MOD and a new systemui.apk yet

But I will upload a fix for that later

and how do i do that.
I mean, ok photoshop that i get it but, extract from apk, join them again, etc, etc
Search on XDA you have plenty themeing tut. In basic yeah extract PNG from res/drawable-hdpi change them and return them in same place with 7zip it should work.

Followed you instructions but after copying new systemui.apk and restarting the device, Statusbar is no longer available. Also no calls can be recieved. Using Xperia J with JB.

Same here, obviously I followed the instructions like you said but after the restart all I see is a black background, no statusbar at all but the apps are working. Now I've messed everything up and I'm back to factory resetting (for the 138586589th time) xD

I am using stock rom. Also had checked by deleting .odex file and permission was also correct rw -r -r (0644) but same result.
@AGuyfromH3LL which superuser mod? The device is rooted and supersu is installed.
Patching Service.jar. Dose AlienRom have this? Because in AlienRom is working.
