I'm not going to hold your hand nor is anyone else on this forum, but you need to learn to read and search. The image icons you're seeking to change/modify are stored in SystemUI.apk.
Good luck.

Or can I atleast reduce the space between them.(clock battery signal wifi) help..help..

You spewing out help, help, help, doesn't help out anyone. Please be more informative and others here will be able to better assist you in your endeavors.

Little homemade icon pack

Hi everyone! This is my first post so don't doubt to tell me anything i do wrong...
I just finished a little icon pack for my LG GT540, and i'd like to share it with you. I've taken a little bit of here and a little bit of there to customize my launcher app shortcuts, hope you like them.
If anyone would like to give me any tips or recommendations about them i'll be pleased.
Thanx for this amazing forum!
Two more icons: XDA app and tether. Hope you like them. Still waiting for opinions.
I just learned how to make screen captures of my cell! And of course I learned on this forum...thanks guys! Here are some caps of my GT540 with my icons, hope you like them. And if anyone could tell me if the Bobclock widget is available in spanish it would be great.
PS: Could anyone tell me if there is any EASY way to turn the buttons of the Network switcher widget into red? that would be awesome...

Thanks for your answer, but you have to be a little bit more specific. Please explain me how to do that or link me to a post where that stuff is explained, thanks again.
After some hours reading threads, fighting against png's, adding system paths, and signing apk's (never did any of these before...), i got to change my widget icons!!!i'm not sure how it got to work, but it works!
My last quest would be to change the widget font color, anyone can help with that?
PD: pashinator thanks again for your short but helpful post, the word "res" helped me find a thread where i learned where the icons are!
PD2: If anyone want to know how i did any of the steps, just ask.
I change my icons all the time so if you need just pm me and I will guide you fully.

[Q]No Notification bar clock

Is there anyway to hide the notification bar clock using an UOT type kitchen file or EDT tweaks app?
How much is it worth to you? Cause the answer is yes, it can be done. Though it's going to take more than a few steps. But hey, learning is fun, right?

any chance you would be willing to do one for the Blue Monkey for UnNamed 1.3.1 ROM?
Sorry I just dont have a lot of extra time to do it myself. We have a ton of other clocks that are on the screens (lock screens, widgets, ect) and I just find it un-necessary clutter to having the same info in more than one place on your screen (for example running Beautiful widgets on the main screen as well as having the Notification bar clock). I would be forever in your debt!!!

ICS Text Squashed, PLEASE SEE

Guys, I've noticed this on all ICS ROM's that the text in notifications and on lockscreen is squashed and not looking good, seems like the text size has been compressed which makes it unreadable/look bad. I tried changing the font size in settings but it has no effect on notification drawr and lockscreen. Please help me fix this, this thing spoils the beauty of ICS
U first stop creating a new thread for all the problems u are facing.. instead u can pm anyone of our devs and ask .. don't overload xda server .. we are having more than 2 discussion threads for ics, u can ask there ..
What am I supposed to SEE? There's not even a frickin' screenshot attached of your "squashed" text.

Like lolphirae said, you didn't attach any screenshot so we cannot know how your text looks.
Did you try Roboto font on a GB rom? Roboto is more square-y than Droid, maybe it's that combined with our MDPI screen...

How do you make coffee? Oh crap,wrong forums..I meant to post in Starbucks...ha...yeah if you honestly don't know how to flash a kernel,than give yourself a big hug because you'll be that moron who screws his/her phone up....To OP,I'm not positive about why you seem to have that problem..I never recognized it while using any ICS rom...did you ever try using spare parts to increase/decrease the size? Either way,ill agree with what was initially posted. Its better to find an expert or intermediate user who can guide you to your solutions,irregular posts are the reasons why some devs are leaving..I can't say I understand why only because when I was developing on my T-Mobile g1. What seems to have been years ago. Blind just ignore the dumb questions and comments....I enjoyed doing work arounds and code work,who cares about all these rules on XDA...Anyways,if you find a solution b4 the thread is locked,please share with the rest of us

[Q] Transparent Status Bar on Lock Screen or Removed ???

Hello everyone... As the title says, I am looking to get rid of the black bar or make it transparent on the lock screen... I have tried a few thing and can not seem to get it... Is there any other method to try besides these here???...
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629653
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2209937
4. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029712
Currently using Links #1 and #2 for the transparent bar, but does not work for the lock screen... I have attached 3 pics as to what happens when I use Link #3 for the status bar, although everything else seems to work... Link #4 does not work at all... I flashed the zip and once I reboot it stays on the splash screen... So I pulled the battery and used my back up to get it to boot again... Is there any way to get the Simplistic Framework to function with our Verizon Note 2 ( SCH-I605) ??? But most importantly eliminate this status bar on the lock screen or make transparent... Thank you for any help you can provide...:fingers-crossed:
So no one has any suggestions or know of something that works??? I am still looking and came across this link...
----- > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37466852
I flashed the zip that is there and it did nothing for me... If I was a little more daring I would try the apk tool that he used... Would any one here like to try and make that zip work for the Verizon Note 2???

If you are on a TW ROM it won't work, it states in the first few lines of the OP it is only for AOSP Roms.
Also I believe the Xposed framework has an add on that allows what you're wanting.

I can't seem to find it but there is a conversation that was in Q&A a few months ago where someone asked if they wanted him to make a flashable zip and then he came back and said it was doable with Xposed and one of the plugins and gave the link to it. I wasn't able to find it last night but I'm going to look again tonight before I call it quits.

OK, from what I've found you need to install the Xposed framework and then install the Tweakbox, the only problem is the tweakbox I've found is for ICS. It may or may not work. That was the way I found to do it in the thread. I will keep looking because there is still one that I remember reading that I haven't found.
Here is a blog link that says it works for ICS and JB so hopefully it will work, this one explains it with pictures so it should be easy to do:

Again, I will keep looking tonight but I am pretty sure the thread I am looking for said pretty much the same thing.

Bummer!!! That link is probably the first thing I read to having a transparent bar... I also when ahead and used tweakbox... The only thing with that is, it does not make the LOCKSCREEN status bar TRANSPARENT nor does it REMOVE it... Wich is what I am looking for...
Either way, THANK YOU for taking the time out of your schedule to help me...
Now I would be willing to donate a few bucks at any one that can make this happen for me... Thanx...

Well that suck ass bad, it is supposed to remove it from both from what I understood but apparently it does not work. There were posts in that thread that said it didn't work either but there were some that said it did.
If I were you I would back everything up, via nandroid and back your apps up with Tibu, and flash Goodness. There may be other Roms that have it but the only one I know for certain that has it, without going and looking, is Goodness. There most likely won't be a mod made for stock if it hasn't already happened.
When we get official 4.2.2 then maybe, I believe the S4 comes with it stock so if we get the update soon ours most likely will too.

I will look into the Goodness Rom thanx... Once I seen the S4 with the transparent notification bar on the lockscreen I instantly wanted it on the note... I have been searching, but only found the tweakbox that gave it to me on the regular interface... So searched high and low for the option on the lockscreen and nothing...
So yeah, my offer still stands to any one that can make it happen for me...
Thanks for the help again...

Come to goodness and we will try our damndest to get that worked out for you and the rest of the users. Might take a bit, but we got one hell of a team over here. Just posted another rom for the vzw n2 also.
I asked about this before, and I've done some searching on the subject.
This method works, but only if you use live wallpapers.
Install one of the many home screen status bar transparency mods, then change the home+lockscreen wallpaper to any live wallpaper.
Voila!
I don't know how or why this works, but it does.
The only downside is, as soon as you stop using a live wallpaper, the status bar on the lock screen won't be transparent anymore.

Yes in deed you are correct... I guess I should of mentioned that earlier in my post... The thing with that is you can see the difference in the transparency... I am very particular in how I like things to look... I would much rather it be gone.. But thank you for pointing that out...
Let's hope some one takes this challenge before N3 comes out...
This thread is pretty old but I too was searching how to make that black bar go away. I am on the 4.3 stock rooted and xposed. I found a way to do this within 20 minutes of searching.
Install the Tinted status bar module for Xposed
2) open systemui.apk
3) select all activities and slide the bars all the way to the left for the navigation bar tint settings!
Enjoy!!

If i understand you want to theme your phone, right? Check this link to see how to decompile, and after you decompile the SystemUI.apk you can change the icons in there. I'm not a themer, you can ask someone else for further information.
