[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] galaxynote2:
Found this in S2 Forum. With this tutorial, you will edit your drop down menu header to look like stock JB AOSP, by moving the Settings button next to the date and adding the Clear All notifications buttons at the right corner. You will get something like this:

​

(Screenshot from original Galaxy Note) Confirmed working in S2, Note 1, Note 2 and S3. May work in S Advance too.

Level: Easy

What files i need?

APK Tool (you need Java JDK installed)

Notepad++

SystemUI.apk

1) Decompile your SystemUI.apk, then open with notepad++ the file Project/ /res/layout/tw_status_bar_expanded_header.xml and you will found this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="#ff000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="39.0dip" android:baselineAligned="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Clock" android:textColor="#ffffffff" android:id="@id/clock" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="4.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="-3.0dip" android:singleLine="true" systemui:ampmSmall="true" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Date" android:textColor="#ffcbcbcb" android:ellipsize="none" android:id="@id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="8.0dip" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:maxLines="2" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.RotationToggle android:id="@id/rotation_lock_button" android:visibility="gone" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="32.0dip" android:layout_height="32.0dip" android:layout_margin="8.0dip" android:button="@drawable/ic_notify_rotation" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_rotation_lock_off" />
<Space android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<ImageView android:layout_width="1.0dip" android:layout_height="25.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="7.0dip" android:layout_marginBottom="7.0dip" android:src="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_plnm_setting_dv" />
<RelativeLayout android:id="@id/settings_button" android:background="@drawable/tw_quick_panel_setting_button_bg" android:focusable="true" android:visibility="visible" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_setting_width" android:layout_height="39.0dip">
<ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/tw_quickpanel_icon_settings" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_settings_button" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

2) Now you need to delete everything after the line which starts with <com.android.systemui.statusbar.RotateToggle and replace it with the following code:

<ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_notify_quicksettings" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_settings_button" />
<Space android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_notify_clear" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_clear_all" />
</LinearLayout>

3) Save the XML

4)Now we need to open up tw_status_bar_expanded.xml and look for the following line:

<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_notification_clear_button_text_size" android:textColor="@color/tw_status_bar_clear_btn_text" android:gravity="center" android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:background="@drawable/tw_btn_default_small" android:padding="0.100000024dip" android:focusable="true" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="@dimen/status_bar_expanded_clear_button_width" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="4.0dip" android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_clear_all" />

(Use CTRL+F)

5) Delete it and Save

What did that last point? It deleted the old "Clear All" button behind the toogles, because you will not need it anymore. Otherwise you would have 2 buttons.

Now recompile your SystemUI.apk and push it to your Note. That it is! Easy right?

Have fun!
