Change the .apk to .zip and extract the aplication to find your image change it to transparent and compress files again to zip and normal comperession method with win zip or win rar then change the .zip to .apk and replace the new aplication with root explorer and restart .....enjoy

Easy solution
you can just try this mod in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797064
you will be able to remove the bottom line completely but not the upper line
and it's more customizable than stock

i cant do this.. whenever i change the .zip to .apk and bluetooth it to my phone the outcome is Home.apk.zip (the icon is in zip icon)

Use 7zip it will alow you to open the apk file so you can edit what you want when your finished it will be ok to run on the phone just flow the popup and save new setting and mods when asked ie just don't close it until you get the popup

If u just wanna change the icon of the apl, then open ur apk in 7zip or winzip. And find the png file which contains the icon. It is either present in res/drawable-mdpi/
Or in res/midmap-mdpi/

Does the icon has to be the same resolution? Do I not need to sign it?
P.S - Is it possible to change the APK name to show a different name in App Drawer?

Only do it if its ur own apk. Otherwise its illegal....I think

My PC has been locked-down by my dad. If you dont trust me, check my stocklite rom's thread. I've clearly mentioned that I can't update the rom before my exams. Dad will open up the pc only in July. So, I cant do any development related work till that time. Sorry.

X-Plore file manager (with Root access)

Use X-Plore file manager
(Root access is required)
First backup your original apk file.
Work:
1- Open an app as zip file
2- go to res\drawable-hdpi\ folder
3- find icon.png in this folder
4- then Go to the second section in the browser (on the screenshot)
5- find the png file which is your new icon.
6- Rename it "icon.png" and mark.
7- Then copy it and write over old one.
8- End
Note:The new apk file is not signed so you can't install it like a normal installation.
So you can push it to the system\app folder (Root access is required)

Two questions

and...
<bool name="config_allowAllRotations">false</bool>
or
<bool name="lockscreen_isPortrait">true</bool>
2. I edit the values using Notepad++ and save it, but why i cannot compile the apk?? Am i forgetting sumthing??
Allow all rotation means to allow 180 rotation.

MAN! WHY IS THE UPDATER SCRIPT INSTRUCTED TO FORMAT THE SYSTEM PARTITION!!!??!?!? PLEASE GO THROUGH IT!!!!
PLEASE REMOVE THE ATTACHMENT AT ONCE! IT WILL DEFINITELY FORMAT THE SYSTEM PARTITION!!
The updater-script looks like it has been directly pulled from a custom Rom so it obviously formats the system partition . Please edit the updater-script accordingly!

It's not a full apk . I don't know how to call it because I haven't used it before . I think it's called zipthemer or something like that. It looks like an apk but it's just a folder which only contains the files which has to be replaced inside an existing framework-res.apk in your device. So it would probably work with any framework-res.apk.

yes it only replaces the anim folder in framework res
I don't know if I'm wrong but still the updater-script looks broken to me (forgive me if I'm wrong).
the updater-script is instructed to extract a file called "vrtheme" but I can't find any file named "vrtheme" in the flashable zip?!?

Okay, but you better remove the attachment for the time being.
And why is the data partition mounted and unmounted unnecessarily? And you cannot unmount the sdcard because the flashable zip itself is present in the sd card during execution and you can't instruct it to unmount itself .

Okay, I think I've bothered you enough for today but a piece of friendly advice, test your product atleast 10 times before you release it and after releasing it, download it again from where you uploaded, and test the downloaded product once again. Sorry to bother you .
And good idea by the way!

Mr S_sway , why do u post something when u you really dont have the knowledge ? the systemui.apk first needs to be decompiled and then the xml file needs to be edited to support the background image in the notification background
.. the method u have posted is of no use , unless the person is using the modded systemui.apk
the stock systemui.apk is not modded and OMEGA Roms also have the SystemUI.apk which is not modded to support background images
so guys dont waste your time downloading the zip file and trying to get the background image , unless u have the rom with modded systemui.apk that supports notification background , this will not work .
