[Q] Ice Cream Sandwich UI on Gingerbread - Thicker Status Bar - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I purchased a chinese tablet and to my disappointment it came with Gingerbread installed. I just love the Ice Cream Sandwich and Honeycomb UI and would love it on this tablet.
I have tried updating via recovery mode, couldn't get it installed, (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20593042) and have tried updating via my PC. I'm a newbie and had no idea what to do so I went on to modding the pre-rooted Stock ROM. I'm assuming I'm supposed to edit SystemUI.apk.
I found some *.xml files but they were, I suppose, encrypted. I guess my first step is to increase the thickness of the status bar. How do I do so?
If you know of any way you could help me, from installing a new ROM to increasing the thickness of the status bar, to installing the ICS status bar, please reply. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any reason this Samsung CM9 battery mod wont work?

So i love CM9 but at this point the one thing that bothers me is that we don't have a 1% battery mod. After a little searching, I found this mod for the S2. It looks like it should work for us, but I just want to double check. It says that its "Compatible with: Official CM9 (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3/4.0.4), Compatible with: "Stock" Samsung Deodexed ROMs (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3/4.0.4) " Any help would be great.

Someone please help. My question is How to get AOSP ICS Lockscreen on stock ICS rom ? My friend was able to do that on his htc by going into the system files and renaming the htclockscreen.apk. That's not applicable to GS3, how can i do it ?

Modify notification bar.

Hi all!
I'm wondering if there is a way to modify my notfication bar!
For example mine is with the stock samsung UI. But if I wanted to replace it with the android 4.2.2 stock for example, I can do it? There is a way, like change system files to reach this goal?
Thanks in advance!:laugh:
