I have a rooted HTC EVO V 4g with no ROM, just on the original OS. I wanted to try and use a Jelly Bean User interface that I found on the system/app folder of my Galaxy Tab 10.1 when I flashed CM9 onto it. I installed the apk (SystemUi.apk) by placing it in the system/app folder and rebooting the phone. When it turned back on, the notification bar was gone and the ICS task manager that shows up when you hold the home button was gone. It wasn't smart of me to do this, I know. I've tried rebooting, factory wiping, going through settings, using launchers, installing an ICS Systemui.apk (with the right permissions). I am currently trying to grab SystemUI.apk from different Evo V roms and installing them. This has not worked yet. None of that has worked. Hope someone can help. My wallpapers also can not also be set.
I installed the Systemui.apk from the Harmonia ROM and my wallpaper started working again but the notification bar is still missing, and the ICS Task manager isn't working.
Fixed the problem
I fixed the problem by downloading the original ROM and placing the systemui.apk and systemui.odex files in place of the old ones.
fixed it
I fixed the problem by downloading the original odex rom and putting the systemui.apk and systemui.odex files in place of the old ones in the system/app folder.

Hey Guys,
I have been attempting to mod my framework-res.apk to try and add a percent battery icon (unsuccessfuly so far). Here is my issue, after finding that my modded framework file isnt working properly, I go to try and restore the original. After restoring the original I still get tons of FC's and the only way to get things back to normal is to restore my backup from CWM.
The method I am using to replace my framework-res.apk is to use a root explorer (ES File Manager) to copy the file to /system/ then from there I modify the permissions and then move the file to the framework folder, overwriting the existing file. After this, I reboot the phone.
My question is, why is my original framework-res.apk file causing force closes? It is starting to make me think that even my modded files are ok, but that the issue is arising in the manual transfer.
Sorry if the answer is posted elsewhere, I googled and was only finding issues with the apk not being compiled correctly, but that shouldnt be an issue with the original apk.
*EDIT* I figured it out. It appears it was because Jkay Deluxe was installed. I decided to reflash the rom and try with a fresh copy of the framework-res.apk and everything appears to be working now.
hi..
ive tried the Eracter rom today, but it didnt work on my phone, so i went back to Pimms Experience rom. but i wanted the battery status and signals status from Eracter status bar. So i extracted systemui.apk from Eracter, copied all the files from \res\drawable-hdpi and into the Experience systemui.apk via Virtuous Ten Studio. compiled a new systemUI.apk. that all went good.
but now the question. how do i get this new systemUI.apk installed on my phone? i cant overwrite it on the phone because it is a running app. cant force to stop the app, phone wont stop it even if i say it should. so i tried thru CWM and found a lot of empty flashable zips, this dont work either, i am getting an error 0 when flashing the zip. installation aborted. i tried to make a zip with xdaAutoTool, but also this zip file failes.
I then found a font installer zip, erased whats inside the zip and made system\app\systemUI.apk and this one installed and phone startet up with updating apps. but it didnt change anything at the stausbar.
so how can i install my systemUI.apk???? i am on Acro s 6.1.a.2.5.0 lt26w
and still have to say, customizing iphone is way easier sorry guys.
please help
I did the opposite of this, I used Pims' SystemUI.apk in the Eracter ROM.
You can find here how to create a zip file to flash it via CWM.
Only thing you have to do is to put your SystemUI.apk to the blank zip file.
/system/app/SystemUI.apk

Hey have a proble. I decompiled Systemui apk to remowe black notification bar in miui ( thanks to sandy for his tut)
And decompiled framework-res.apk to add smooth spinners.
This is miui based cm9 from chotu and now have one problem:
I don't have cell network. There is no screen to enter pincode and reinstalling rom didn't help. Enabling and disabling flight mode didn't helped.
I just didn't ad semcuxpres.apk from system/framework to apktool cause it wasn't this apk in rom.
if reinstalling rom didn't help, there maybe something wrong with the rom.
no before modifying this too apps all was ok. I wanted to install it againg and try to change framework apk but I remid that wifi is not working there too. So I mark this thread as solved and will never go back to this rom. thanks
Hi, I already took a look around this forum and searched for this problem on Google, but i can't find an useful solution that is not "reinstall the ROM"
and i would like to avoid it.
I'm trying to edit my SystemUI.apk, to make the status-bar background back to black. (right now it's trasparent and it's driving me crazy)
with apktool i installed the framework-res.apk and the systemui.apk, then i extracted the systemui.apk, modified it, i placed inside the resources.arsc then recompiled it, i took the apk into systemui/dist and placed back on my cellphone, then i replaced the original SystemUI.apk with fx root explorer and my jiayu rebooted by himself.
Then I saw that the status bar, notifications, wallpaper, everything, was disappeared, i can't toggle anymore my smartphone to the pc.
There was a backup of the systemui.apk, systemui.odex and framework-res.apk, so i placed back the systemui.apk and the systemui.odex (like always).
Then i rebooted the smartphone manually but the wallpaper/statusbar/etc. (all the informations inside systemui.apk) still won't load.
I tried replacing them again, shutting down, remove the battery, rebooting, replace the framework, i tried everything that was coming to mind to me.
On the internet i found a way to solve this problem with ADB toggle, but I can't find a way to make it work: it tells me that the application is installed on the SDCard where i don't even have an SDCard attached.
and i'm not able to install the SystemUI.apk using Terminal emulator either (another solution found on the internet).
Is there someone that knows how to solve this problem without installing the rom again? i would like to avoid the problem to put back in all of the stuff i have on my smartphone... there's maybe a way to regenerate the contents inside system/app without the entire rom.
Putting that stuff back in manually won't work...
-----------------
EDIT: Solved... Please delete this post and sorry for the troubles... The solution was easy: application list -> systemui -> delete updates and cache -> reboot.
Solved...
Hello,
Many users here are helpful and I have learned a lot..
To thank these good people I've modded a couple of Lollipop apk's and will upload them here for others as a thank you.
These two have been modded for my personal use.
SystemUI.apk mod:
After upgrading my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910G) to Android Loillipop 5.0.1 I was again facing the much disliked "S Finder" and "Quick Connect" buttons in the notification tray.
As I dislike the S Finder and Quick Connect being in the notification tray, they have been removed.
Settings.apk mod:
Since I have disabled/removed a lot of apps I have no use for the following items, they have been removed from the Settings menu
Accessibility
Easy mode
Private mode
Safety assistance
These apk's need to be copied into their original locations (will need root access)
Please back up your original files before doing any of this as I am not responsible if you stuff something up :crying:
SystemUI.apk is located in /system/priv-app/SystemUI
SecSettings.apk is located in /system/priv-app/SecSettings
You will need to set the permissions to these files once you copy them over to rw-r-r--
Regards..
Here are the files
SecSettings.apk

SystemUI.apk
http://www.mediafire.com/download/cg1ne5ab3ue8j7m/SystemUI.apk
Enjoy
Will this work on SM-N910C?
Hi jmcostales,
I am not sure. I can only suggest that you "back up" your files and then try each one and see how you go. If the SystemUI.apk doesn't work for you the worst that will happen is a crash and no notification menu/pull-down. You will be able to copy over your old file and go back. I would assume the same thing for SecSettings.apk. It will either work or just simply crash when you try to access it. If it crashes just copy the old one back. If you decide to try these files don't forget to set the permissions once you copy the files over.
Thank you this work for me. you made me happy
