You could always try Nova Launcher, pretty sure that has the gradient status bar. That would be easier than modifying the system ui.

I been watching some posts about it, it's all about decompile the SystemUI.apk and i try it but i don't know and all goes wrong, yesterday i lost my status bar trying

Hope you saved a copy of the original file. Yeah, I've tried dabbling with system files in the past, but had similar results. You have to get pretty seriously into it, and there's a lot to learn. Gives you an appreciation for what the developers actually do.

Developers usually do what they are interested in, rather than what someone else is interested in. I doubt if anyone with the skill to do that is still using or interested in this phone.

    Thanks for your answer the thing is that i don't want to change the launcher, just the status bar

    Well, then, you need to learn to program it yourself.
