    Replace Status Bar icons

    I have the Icons I want to replace. I know they go in the SystemUI.apk file, drawabel-hdpi and xhdpi folders. If I rename the original SystemUI and my new SystemUI goes in the original's location, what's next?
    Is this the best way to do this?

    I just use rom toolbox pro. It allows you to create backups just in case you screw something up and they have lots of options for icons

    Don't rename your original SystemUI. If you change it to a .bak extension, your UI will crash repeatedly. Just drop your edited UI in to /system and make sure the permissions are RW-R-R. Then copy and move it to /system/app and paste. Say "yes" you want to overwrite and reboot.

    Change SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.bak?

    No that's exactly what you shouldn't do. Lol

    Use a root file explorer (I'm assuming you're rooted). I only know how it works in root explorer, but others should be similar. I just long press on the apk and click permissions and I can change them.

    Should be the same as how you got it out. I use 7zip for that.

    Btw, if you want a blank update.zip, just let me know. You'd put your SystemUI.apk in it & flash like a theme.
