No-one has been able to do this yet. We have been trying for a long time. There is just something about the ASUS systemui that doesn't play nice.
You could try this thread that I read earlier, you may have some luck with it, I haven't tried:

The main themes are for non-asus ROMS, ie based on aosp. I believe reNeglect managed to figure something out with regards to ROMs based on asus firmware ie virtuous, but you would need to speak to him about that.
I don't know how forthcoming reNeglect will be, as people have not been giving him much love, and considering the amount of time and effort that he has spent working on his theme, I don't blame him for being pissed off.

Hey everyone,
So I, like most people on XDA, flash different ROMs all the time. The problem is each ROM has one thing I like but others I don't.
However, the joy of Android is just that! You get to make your phone custom
Anyway, I really like the notification drop down bar on Serendipity. I think Mikey and Chance did a phenomenal job with it. Looks great. But I like the functionality of CyanogenMOD.
Is there anyway to port the notification drop down from Serendipity to CM7?
Thanks!

I'm doing this off memory so bear with me for any errors. On the cm rom, pick a theme that u like and find the apk for it in system/app. Pull that apk and decompile it with apk tool. Then download the ROM that u want and take systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk and decompile them. After u decompile it, look for some file names in res/drawablehdpi for the images u will want to transfer to the cm theme. Then copy them to the cm theme. I think u have to rename them, but I'm not sure what to rename them to. I will update this when I find out since I'm working on my own theme for this. After u copy them recompile the apk and sign it using apk tool and send it to your device and install it.
If u have no idea on what I am talking about search for how to make themes by jivy26 on themes and apps. Or I can help u make a port, but u would have to be willing to test because i dont feel like switching roms.
If I had money, I would get a credit card. If I had a credit card, I would donate.

Thanks for your reply. The only problem is that I've done this and cannot seem to find any corresponding images in the theme/res/drawable-hdpi directory.

In system ui in drawable there should be pictures with the labels status_bar something. There will be multiple background images and should be the toggle images. You wouldn't be able to find this if you were looking in framework-res

Hey, i am a bit noob here decompiling, and compiling system apks, so now im trying to decompile framework-res.apk from my CM7 rom, and i get a 9.png errors when decompiling and another strange one when compiling.
The whole CMD window is attached.
I hope get some help with this, i also got it with CM9 framework.

That means the .9 pangs were made wrong. This happens when some tries to take the easy way to theme things. You will not be able to compile it until you fix them

Yes its because of the theme. If yo look at each file it says is broken you will have to remake all those .9.pngs properly. A search will teach you how to do it. You will need the android SDK installed for sure for the .9.png tool.

You either have to edit the .9.png files with the draw9patch.bat file located in \android-sdk\tools.. and copy basically the pixel borders - put up two windows side by side - one stock and the one you are editing. And make sure you only have one new copy of that file in your drawable folder when done.. no normal .png's of the same name.
Or you could just "borrow" those .9.png files from another rom and use GIMP to basically edit the color only and save... just don't decompile them - use 7zip instead.

Editing a .9 png like that is not the prper way to do it. He will just have issues if he tries to decompile it again. This is why alot o themes break when people try to decompile them to learn.
Take some time out OP and learn how to do it properly. The easy way is never right.

Which way is not proper? The 2nd suggestion was not intended to be a proper way, but it can work.. and the first way I suggested is what I would consider a good way to learn how to draw the patches - by comparison with known working ones..
EDIT - please elaborate on the not being able to decompile it again later though - I was aware of this issue and had come across it - but never new the cause.
EDIT 2 - I just noticed your stats - please share your seasoned wisdom... I have got a lot to learn yet...
Ok, i have a better way to do what i want, i jzut want to edif bools.xml inside values folder, so ill apply default theme, decompile and edit, and then i replace it.
Thanks to all who helped me!

The bools XML will be over writted when you flash the theme.

Ok the 1 px boarder around the image has to be the last thing applied to an image. You can edit it with gimp and 7zip but that breaks the border settings. This is the reason most .9.pngs break when decompiled.
I have been struggling with this procedure for the past couple of weeks and I am at my wit's end. I have tried both APKTOOL and APK Manager to decompile my SystemUI.apk and no matter how many ways I try to decompile it, there absolutely is no smali directory.
If I post my SystemUI.apk, would an experienced themer, developer, or modder be kind enough to edit the smali coding to make the clock a different color? I am happy with the icons and everything else; I just want the color change.
The color I was looking for is #33b5e5 (the ICS blue). I would appreciate any help someone would be willing to give. Thanks.

I will gladly do it for you right now.
Give me about 10 mins time.
EDIT: took a look at the apk, the reason why there is no smali folder is because you are using an odexed rom I believe. You have to be deodexed to be able to modify the smali inside system apks.

You could deodex the apk, make your smali edits, re-odex it again, and then push both files into the correct directories, but it is a very annoying and tedious process.
You should flash a custom rom (all of them are deodexed) and make your smali edits from there.

I have been trying to edit the framework-res.apk for Cyanogenmod 10 for days now and come across countless problems. All I am trying to do is edit the ui so I may have the on screen buttons but every time time I decompile the apk it just wont recompile. No matter what app I decompile I just cant get it to recompile no matter what, even with no changes. So if someone who actually knows what they're doing can please offer some assistance so I may learn or even edit it for me that would be greatly appreciated.
The location of the change needing to be made is res/values/bools.xml line 57 needs to be set true
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/89758977/framework-res.apk
Idk if this worked. I got an error when compiling but I think it still did it correctly. Rename to Framework-res.apk.
(I think you might need to use twframework-res.apk as a dependency.)
Couldn't get it to work. Thanks for the help though. I think it might just be jellybean apks that aren't able to edited yet.

Prddog1 helped me out on this, I was using an outdated apktool. Pm him. He can send you the latest build.
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!
Hi,
thanks to all the rooted ROMs here I was able to do some changes, like removing the SMS app and placing back the stock one. I am sure that something like it can be done with the phone/contacts as those APKs are around too.
What I don't know how to do is to get rid of the aweful touchwiz gray status bar, colored settings and mostly hideous 2.3-like dialogs that touchwiz uses.
I thought I just replace SystemUI.apk but that did not work at all, kept force-closing.
Can anone point me the right direction? Do I have to change the resources (png and XML) inside the systemui.apk and then repackage it? I know how to edit layout xmls since I am an app developer, but I never repackaged apks, especially when they come with OBEX classes.
Or is it not even possible without completely new ROM?
Some rooted roms here have black notification bar.
You might wanna check them out

Hi no only systemUI test change also in settings.apk and framwork-res.apk now for change on apk need deodexed one
Well I have tried the apktool to decompile, but that fails, surely because of it being odex apk.
What suprised me though is that the Minecraft-method fails too. That is removing META-INF and simply changing a few PNGs. That I thought would work. I did use zipalign 4 after changing those PNGs...
Give it time. They're still working on getting us a functional recovery.

Well I actually wanted to get into it and provide the stock-like SystemUI.apk for others
If anyone still interested...
I finally found a nice guide for deodexing here, did everything like I should - deodex, repackage, sign and zipalign, but SystemUI keeps crashing.
I never found anything about having a special signing key, but that's the only thing that I can think of that can be wrong.
try attached and if need complet rom try with mediafire link

Thanks, the deodexed attached apk works.
The question is what I did wrong Will try re-signing this one and if that fails I must be f-ing up the signing process I guess
(I should really stop double-posting)
So I tried to remove META-INF and sign manually using the debug.keystore from eclipse (used to develop apps) and SystemUI force-closes.
What am I doing wrong in the signing process that mine does not work and yours does?

Oh now I get it, you just created deodexed APK, which actually does not need resigning because you added classes.dex which was not there before.
It is still signed by Samsung original key and that's why your works.
So now my problem is how to get around the signature
Thanks anyway for steering me on the right track.

signature are generated when kitchen deodex and zipaligne your apk all tool are in kitchen you can add more like git bash and more now you can try and see remove manifest etc etc and test to deodex and in finale you can see new created files with signature for ur apk's but need very corect install to work because using JAVA
