[Q] [HELP] [JB] Animated Notification Pulldown - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help in making an animated notification background.
I managed to make an animated status_bar_close_off.png by making a status_bar_close_off.xml under drawables with the codes below and deleting the png inside the drawable-hdpi so that it will read the xml file and not the png
status_bar_close_off.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list android:oneshot="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/anim1" />
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/anim2" />
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/anim3" />
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/anim4" />
</animation-list>
You can check the sample video here:
Now I'm trying to make the notification_panel_bg.png to animate using the same procedure but the result is it doesn't animate. All it displays is the first frame. Anyone had an idea how to animate the notification panel background in JB?

I gave up on this XD
I still haven't seen any solution to the notification bg. The problem must be in the smali files and I'm no good in smali. If only someone could look into smali that holds the notification panel.

I've read your guide. The only difference to what I've done was steps 10-12 which it doesn't really matter. Why would you replace the files of the original apk from the new one where you can actually use the new apk?
I really think this involves smali since I still have to remove one line from Phonestatusbar.smali to enable changing the notification background using drawables but not enabling its animation.
I'll try cm10's systemui if its possible to animate the notification panel.
