make a own System Bar

Question

i want to replace the original systemUI.apk form a android 3.x System with a own one. Did anyone try this before or maybe got a openSource project for this

for example the systemUI.apk is the menuBar, i want a own with only back, home and maybe the time, nothing else

THX

The UOT kitchen manages it: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ so it must be possible. But you would be much better off asking that on http://forum.xda-developers.com because XDA is focused around system modifications. Of course the device would need to be rooted, though. And you would use Runtime.exec(...) to run linux commands to do the copying. Regardless, xda is really the best place to ask. — Reed, Dec 21 '11 at 12:45

i found a solution for my problem, maybe this can help other programmers too. first of all, I hide the SystemBar with this Answer:

Is there a way to hide the system bar in Android 3.0? It's an internal device and I'm managing navigation

Then i create my own home button Service with allways show a home icon on the left side of the top. The Service got a onTouchEvent, looks like this

    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if(event.getRawY() < 50 && event.getRawX() < 50)
    {
        Context context = getContext();
        Intent startMain = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
        startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
        startMain.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(startMain);
    }
    return true;
}

i hope this can help people out, if not ask me a question :-) i will try to help you
