You can use an existing mod (here) and replace the icons in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi.

Hi
Thanks for the advice, I have managed to decompile, edit & recompile a modded apk. There is one problem though, The battery icon seems to default back to the previous icon & returns when i reboot?. I believe there is some sort of fix for this when running ICS???
I would like to change the icons on the stock rom, for example, battery, signal, wifi etc ...
Where to find icons?
Thanks !

It's not easy, you need to recompile framework-res.apk. But you can use UOT Kitchen, it's online tool to change icons in framework-res.apk: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
as most of the systemui here are without battery percentage icon or with left text percentage and alot of people asks to remove it and make the battery percentage icon holo circle
I thought a simple guide will be handy to everyone to mod her/his systemui.apk as he like.
so here we go:
1- to make the battery icon update every 1% without decompile apk:
open ur systemui.apk with winzip or winrar (don't unzip)
go to res\drawable and replace stat_sys_battery.xml & stat_sys_battery_charge.xml with the attached compiled.zip
go to res\drawable-mdpi put 204 png's (battery icons you wish attached holo circle for example )
close winzip
and your apk is ready don't work every time so please skip this and go decompile method 2
2- to make the battery icon update every 1% remove the percentage text on the left of battery icon and remove AM/PM clock
decompile Systemui,apk
battery %icon
go to res\drawable and replace stat_sys_battery.xml & stat_sys_battery_charge.xml with the attached decompiled.zip
go to res\drawable-mdpi put 204 png's (battery icons you wish attached holo circle for example )
remove the percentage text on the left of battery icon
goto res\layout\status_bar.xml open with notpad++ or Editplus 3
find android:id="@id/battery_text" add this line after it android:visibility="gone"
save the new xml
remove AM/PM clock
go to res\values\integers.xml
change the forth line to be like this <integer name="config_clock_am_pm_style">2</integer>
save the new xml
recompile and enjoy

Sorry for bothering you....
I read all of your tutorial and I tried to learn it but I think I need your help....
I tried to remove the clock in the status bar on my systemui, but I cannot find the integer.xml.

Thanks....

why u didn't find intager.xml???
you have to decompile ur Systemui.apk to find that file
anyway I didn't try to remove the clock but I think u can remove it by deleting the following line from: res\layout\status_bar.xml
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Clock" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" androidaddingLeft="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
I may try to do that for u when I have time

If u like any battery icons on any systemui.apk download it and unzip the apk
then go to res/drawable-mdpi and copy them to ur SystemUI.apk
if the desired apk was not mdpi use Image Resizer to resize them
or google for icon packs.
1- to make the battery icon update every 1% without decompile apk:
open ur systemui.apk with winzip or winrar (don't unzip)
go to res\drawable and replace stat_sys_battery.xml & stat_sys_battery_charge.xml with the attached compiled.zip
go to res\drawable-mdpi put 204 png's (battery icons you wish attached holo circle for example )
close winzip
and your apk is ready

For statusbar icons, you don't need to worry about resizing them. As long as the icons are in the right drawable folder, the phone will resize them automatically. Which is very handy.
I like what you've done here. Very neat.
If you want, I can show you how to turn this into a universal update.zip..

Guys I need help here to port lidroid dropdown toggles which I tried by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381290
I have done with settings and done with systemui. All went right, no errors when decompiling, recompiling, signing, etc. But when I installed my ui. I only get blackscreen without status bar. I think its android manifest xml or something which cause this. This is my systemui:

I've asked for assistance in og thread but we all have different devices there so I think I should ask for assistance here too. I hope someone could help me with this. Thanks in advance. Btw, I'm running stock jb 4.1.2 retail eu.

When i port Power Toggles i just modifyed Settings.apk. If your toggles requiest edit SystemUI.apk and Manifest.xml then you need resign SystemUI.apk after complie. To get it to work with new signature you need sign all other systems apk include framework-res.apk. Just not google apps.
Thank you will try that later. I have signed my ui, but only systemui and still no luck. So I'll try your advice then.
