Thx to Taine0 for the tutorial

test on stock gingerbread and wolf GB

Preparation:

APKmanager

Notepad++

rootexplorer

Execution:

-Grab your SystemUI.apk using rootexplorer or using adb pull command (/system/app/systemUI.apk)

-decompile it using APKmanager then find status_bar.xml on APK Manager\projects\SystemUI.apk\res\layout\

-edit the file using Notepadd++

this is my mod script for status_bar.xml, you can copy and paste if you want to use it

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

save the xml then compile again using apkmanager.

answer the question when compiling

and now you get the unsignedSystemUI.apk

delete SystemUI.apk then rename unsignedSystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk

make a flashable zip and flash it over. Or replace the systemui with rootexplorer.
