OK guys here is the deal, I wanted to create a theme that combined the status bar of this theme:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eme.motoblur.free&feature=more_from_developer
with the icons of this theme (because the moto ones are fugly) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz.free&hl=en
So what I came up with is called motowiz
Installation instructions:
1. Make sure you are on a CM9 based rom that has the T-Mobile theme Chooser installed
2. Move the apk to system>app
3. Change perms to rw-r-r
4. Reboot
5. Apply theme (it'll say something about not being compiled right, just hit apply anyway)
Note: It must be installed manually because its not signed, idk how to do that.
Features:
TW4 icons
Motoblur4 status bar
4G icon instead of H
If you like it just hit the thanks button

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 .

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..

Yeah the screenshot didn't post. Don't know if you forgot the link or forgot to attach the picture. Anyway, not being critical but is there a reason why people would be interested in having their name on the nav bar at all times? Is there some use or purpose I don't know of outside of customization and aesthetics?
Where is screen shoot?

sorry for the inconvenience guys ...
Yup its all about customization... You can keep any png instead of home buttons.. Cuz default navbar may not be intersting and sounds boring...

Good morning.Is there a way to pass the icons of applications without custom recovery? I want to put these to my son's note 3 , but I do not want to spend custom recovery to not write the knox.

Yes. You can do it without custom recovery.
Download mobile ODIN pro. And flash using Mobile ODIN pro.
You can flash zip files using MOP.
Or else
**Decompile apk and make changes as per your wish and recompile
Or else
**Copy the required apk where you wish to change png icons into phone memory. [Example: Storage/emulated/0/app folder]
1. Extract the required apk using Root explorer.
2. After extracting search for the image/png icons which you want to replace in drawables folder. (Assume you want to replace notification_panel_torchlight.png in res/drawables-xxdpi folder of SystemUI.apk)
3. Create your own png icons.
4. Now rename the newly created png icons with the same name that you want to replace.
(Example: notification_panel_torchlight.png)
5. Now install RAR from playstore. And Copy/Cut the image from RAR.
6. Navigate to Storage/emulated/0/app folder from RAR..
7. Long press the apk file (ExampExample:SystemUI.apk) which you wish to change png icons.
8. Click on Open as archive.
9. Navigate to res/drawables-xxdpi folder and paste that png which you have copied or cutted in step 5.
10. All images should be in .png format.
All the above method require Root access. And you can root without tripping Knox.
THANKS.

Search for Location and rename it to GPS.
