*frustrated sigh*
so, following these basic instructions to mod my system bar on my tablet.......
The 3 programs I used to do this: 7zip, ES File Explorer(on Tab) and Photoshop (You can use whatever you want). I have not looked into making flashable zips so this way was just easier for me.
1. Open Es File Explorer (free from market) on your Tablet and access settings options > check mark 'Root Explorer' and then check 'Mount File System' as writable.
2. Now within Es File Exp navigate to System/App/ There you will find the file you need to mod named 'SystemUI.apk' Copy it by long pressing on the file and select copy.
3. Now that it's copied, place the file somewhere on your sd card or anywhere else so you can copy it to your computer.
4. Once on your computer, Use 7zip right click and 'Open Archive'. The files you want are in res/drawable-mdpi/ so now find the specific icons you want to mod and copy them to a place where you can work on them with your choice of graphics editor (ie photoshop). Note that the bottom icons are in sets of 2 (standard icon and pressed icon). The icons referenced should start with 'ic_sysbar...'.
5. After modding your icons, 'Open archive' on the SystemUI.apk again and simply drag and drop your new icons into res/drawable-mdpi/ (Do not change the name of the files!) The file is now ready to be put back on the Tablet.
6. Copy the modded SystemUI.apk file onto your tab somewhere you'll know where to find it.
7. Using ES File Exp navigate back to System/App to file your original SysemUI.apk rename it something like SystemUI.apk.bak so you can go back to it if you want to later. This should cause your Tab to crash immediately upon completion. Don't freak out!
8. Hold down the power button to reboot your Tab.
9. After booting up, note your menu bar on the bottom has disappeared. No problem just press your Apps menu in the top right hand corner and open up ES File Exp. Locate and copy your modded SystemUI.apk into System/App/ Now back out and reboot.
10. Enjoy your new icons.
i followed all the instructions, but it didn't work
i was so excited.... but for one reason or another i couldn't get it to recognize my modded SystemUI.apk
