[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rodman01:
So...here as promised the statusbar.xml code which in my opinion includes the best codes for the double row statusbar. The method is different as the previous, but I think better to change. Its done with tablelayout and tablerows.

First add the 3 lines in res/values/id

<item type="id" name="tableLayout1">false</item>
<item type="id" name="tablerow1">false</item>
<item type="id" name="tablerow2">false</item>

And then adapt the statusbar code to yours. If I am right, you only have to delete some batterie lines, but not sure and check the linearlayout tags. If you again have trouble to compile, post your code and i will try my best to get it to work.
