I did this for myself, and thought I would share. I don't like the AT&T branding on the status bar, and I wanted to enable the 'built in' battery percent. I like to learn, so rather than use xposed framework, I built a flashable zip to change the status bar via SystemUI.apk.
WARNING: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR PHONE
Prerequisite:
ATT Moto X running stock official 4.4 kitkat (140.44.5)
safestrap TWRP (for those who don't have an unlocked bootloader, thanks Hashcode)
backup all of your data in case something goes horribly wrong
Instructions:
using your choice of file manager, backup /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk and /system/priv-app/SystemUI.odex
Download or copy flashable zip (below) to sdcard
Reboot to safestrap TWRP recovery
flash zip file
It is not my intent to entertain every "can you change the color" or "can you do this for my provider", etc.
Below are the 'broad strokes' of how I did this in linux: (Each of these steps below require various skills, and my intent is not to do too much 'hand holding.')
first deodex SystemUI.apk & .odex (I used android kitchen with latest smali/baksmali and api level 19, thanks dsixda)
--
DUMP AND DECOMPILE SYSTEMUI:
make sure java 7 is installed
download/extract apktool_2.0.0b7.jar (thanks connor tumbleson)
move /system/framework/framework-res.apk to apktool directory
move deodexed SystemUI.apk (from above) to apktool directory
install framework: java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar if framework-res.apk
dump SystemUI.apk: java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar d SystemUI.apk
--
REMOVE AT&T FROM STATUS BAR:
edit this file: SystemUI/res/layout/status_bar.xml
search for the line with this info: android:id="@id/onsText"
change the end to: android:maxLength="0"
--
CHANGE BATTERY TO INCLUDE PERCENT
Follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533912&highlight=bold (thanks, homeslice976)

RECOMPILE AND COPY EXISTING SIGNATURE:
recompile: java -jar apktool_2.0.0b7.jar b SystemUI -o SystemUI.apk
move META-INF structure and AndroidManifest.xml from inside the original SystemUI.apk to the new SystemUI.apk (I used 7z)

CREATE FLASHABLE ZIP WITH NEW SYSTEMUI
you can use mine as a template and just replace my SystemUI.apk under /system/priv-app
TWRP/CWM flashable zip: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291682729
(Deletes /system/priv-app/SystemUI.odex and replaces /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk with my deodexed and modified version.)

First off this is for people that know how to decompile/compile apk's..
What this is = Watch here
1: Decompile framework-res.apk using something like apk manager
2: Edit the file \res\values\bools.xml
3: Change value of bool name='config_animateScreenLights' from 'true' to 'false'
4: Compile framework-res.apk
5: Push new framework-res.apk to your phone with root explorer or adb push.
6: Profit...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to change the statusbar color:
1: Decompile SystemUI.apk
2: Edit the file \smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\Clock.smali
3: Search for the line with ->setTextColor comment it and the line above out with a # infront of the two lines.
4: Compile the SystemUI.apk
5: Decompile framework-res.apk and edit the file \res\values\styles.xml
6: Find the style name 'TextAppearance.StatusBar' and change the textColor item to the color you want
7: Compile framework-res.apk
8: Profit More.
These guides will work with about any 2.3 rom out. Thanks to various sources for help on finding these..
(Will add more to this later)
do you have the compiled version of the CRT TV effect?
I will post a version later as the one I got is tweaked and would more and likely cause you guys bootloops.

Yes on some roms you will get wake lag bad & others it will work fine.. On the 2.3 leak it will go to a black screen for a while. (that's due to 2.2.2 drivers though from what I can tell.)
Have you got it to work on cm7?
Is it possible to clarify what framework-res.apk is referred this tutorial?
I read these posts and seems like it has not mentioned so far. However, in my case (i am running MoDaCo Fr16 CR) after decompiling framework-res.apk i cannot see that config inside res->values->bool.xml.
Maybe i'm missing something
Thanks in advance.

lol, just thought that was amusing. let's not annoy dianne.
anyways,trying this now on bionix.
i'm no expert at decompiling etc. just figured it out today lol. i'm pretty positive i did it correctly using apktool. however, after copying the compiled apk back to phone, it just hangs at a black screen on reboot. maybe i did it right and it's just not compatible with bionix? i did read on the apktool site that it won't be signed after recompiling. is this why it won't work? anybody successful here?

Do any know what @id/plmnLabel and @id/spnLabel refers to? Im speculating it has something to do with service provider.. Since the theme of framework is set to Black, the service provider text color is black as well, so ive made edits to

I thought u already have this covered because it sounded like you have no problem with other XML except this.
But if u have not heard of the two files/folder I have hightlighted chances are you don't have them in your newly compiled apk which will cause bootloop.
After compiling ur apk you should see that meta-inf folder is missing. U need to copy that from the original API, along with manifest.XML to the new apk.

The path looks like a source code file, and not an APK you can decompile to edit...
'platform/frameworks/base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/PhoneWindowManager.java'
You'll need to download the Android source and edit the file. More information about downloading and compiling source can be found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505006

you way seems to be easier so i tried yours first. hope i did everything right.
i tried using Virtuous Ten Studio to edit system/framework/android.policy.jar by creating New Jar-Project and everything succeed

mainly because i was expecting .java file... lol
really need some help here...
EDIT: found PhoneWindowManager.class but couldn't find APP_SWITCH in it
PhoneWindowsManager.class is indeed the correct file, however it is different for each ROM
reference page works ONLY for CM9.
from what i understand, android.policy.jar of ViperS is much more complicated as it combined with its own unique Venom Tweaks
so, thank you for your help and hope m0narx or shinzlon notice this thread and give me some hint as i realized "tweak_longpress_search" is missing from the file, and i am clueless as how to call and create new function in that file.
if anyone know please tell me the answer as well =)

if you want the java source code I think you need to hunt around in the options, im pretty sure I saw something about getting java source code out of an apk/jar file
yes, PhoneWindowsManager.class is a product from ticking "Generate Java Code" and have to go through JavaSrc\com\android\internal\policy\impl to get to that
so i am pretty sure PhoneWindowsManager.class in ViperS rom is the same as PhoneWindowsManager.java in CM9 as it contain information on longpress behavior and etc
for example:
Code:
/*
static void access$300(PhoneWindowManager phonewindowmanager, long l)
{
int i = android.provider.Settings.System.getInt(phonewindowmanager.mContext.getContentResolver(), "tweaks_longpress_home", 0);
if (i != 0)
{
if (i != 1)
{
if (i == 2)
phonewindowmanager.startCustom(l);
} else
{
phonewindowmanager.takeScreenshotS(l);
}
} else
{
phonewindowmanager.startRecentTasks(l);
}
return;
}

This is a quick dev guide to enable navigation bar for S4. Tested on I9505 but should work here also.
Decompile SystemUI.apk go to res/values/drawables and add:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item>
Now download attached files and copy files to corresponding folders in SystemUI.apk if folder does not exist(drawables-xhdpi) create it.
Compile SystemUI.apk and push to device (nothing will happen yet) Just to check device boots fine.
Now use any buil.prop editor and add line:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
You can also enable it now through framework-res method.
Reboot and your done.
Please hit thanks and give credits.

Decompile SystemUI.apk go to res/values/drawables and add:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="tw_navigationbar_bg">#ff000000</item>
Now download attached files and copy files to corresponding folders in SystemUI.apk if folder does not exist(drawables-xhdpi) create it.
Compile SystemUI.apk and push to device (nothing will happen yet) Just to check device boots fine.
Now use any buil.prop editor and add line:
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
You can also enable it now through framework-res method.
Reboot and your done.
Please hit thanks and give credits.

Wonder how to do it if my rom is odexed ?
I dont think this thread is supported anymore
WOW!
This worked exceptionally well on my T-Mobile GS4 (M919).
I'll slip a thanks your way!
Please can you give details step by step for apks to use to compile and decompile etc for us simple people who want the navigation keys.
Thanks
Use this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195680
For odexed rom don't care about odex file as you won't need to change smali files.

Is there an easy way? Thanks

Add this to the end of the build.prop file in system/
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
You have to use an alternate launcher though, but it works.

This used to work very well with S3 but did not work on i9500 S4. I'll try again.
I dont know how I changed permission but on S4 its showing read only and does not take changes . Can you please guide as to how you changed to read-write for build prop
No that doesnt work. Says systemUI has stopped. I remember that from last time and tried again through rom toolbar
can i use this method on 4.3 rom?
Maybe this should help....

or maybe this, (this one is for ics but refer to the decompilation and recompilation using apk tool)

This is for the DE phone?
When you say boot animation. What are you looking for?

These converted system apk's will work with retail or DE. But you will need root first.

Hey EMS,
How did you manage to get the files to recompile with the .9's?
Mine wont recompile if I use the conversion tool unless I rename all of the .9.png files.
9 png's

I use a program called Batch Photo and run all png images through it before I build. I copy the pngs to the program, then I add the filter HUE. I set the values all to zero and run the batch. It cleans up any 9 png problems.
Works every time!!

So what values are you setting that keeps these .9.png's clean, I would like to test that out, if i edit the .9s in photoship, could I then run it through batch photo to repair the file? I have to rename the .9 to just png to import into photo shop and thats a pain in the ass

drag png's to batch photo first page. Click next. Then click add filter and choose HUE leave ll values at zero. Click next and select use original folder for output. Then click process. That's it!!
We lucked out on the Galaxy S5.
We have an Android L leak and it still retains the png's.
So even if they decide to compress the final version, we've already gotten a head start.
What are you using to convert these to png then to deodex and zip align? I would like to also work on a bootanimation.qmg and I am not sure how to extract the pngs from the qmg as well as the desc.txt to get the proper frames...any help if you don't mind

Have you tried converting the file you want to alter to png first?
Requires deleting the original wpb file, inserting the converted one and recompiling the apk so it recognizes the png too.
