Hey Gt quick question. I've been trying all the guides on xda, but I keep getting errors. How did you decompile and compile systemui from this ROM. I can do it with any other apk.
 
I use the latest versions of apktool and java jdk. Everything must be properly installed in the root path with proper perms.

Command for decompile....
[HIGH]apktool d SystemUI.apk[/HIGH]

Command for compile....
[HIGH]apktool b SystemUI SystemUI-new.apk[/HIGH]

I use Linux. I don't know how to do any of this on Windows.

Try googling a tutorial that will take you through all the steps from the setup to decompile and compile.
 
Also make sure that with apktool, you have framework-res.apk and lge-res.apk installed to apktool like so....

[HIGH]apktool if framework-res.apk[/HIGH]

[HIGH]apktool if lge-res.apk[/HIGH]

Those 2 apks hold special code needed to decompile/compile apks for this phone properly.
