1. Center Clock

  1. Decompile systemui.apk with apktool or similar.
  2. Go to SystemUI.apk\res\layout\ and open status_bar.xml with notepad++
  3. Search for this line and remove it:-
    Code: 
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textSize="16.0sp" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
  4. Search for this line
    Code: 
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  5. Paste these lines after the above line
    Code: 
        <LinearLayout android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textSize="16.0sp" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
    </LinearLayout>

    Code: 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

key 56    ALT_LEFT
key 42    SHIFT_LEFT
key 215   AT
key 57    SPACE
key 53    SLASH
key 127   SYM
key 100   ALT_RIGHT

key 399   GRAVE

HERE YOU WILL FIND 3 ROWS...
FIRST ROW
As you can see, there are different attributes defaultly assigned to each key. like this
Code: 
key 102   #FOR HOME
key 139   #FOR MENU
key 158   #FOR BACK
key 115   #FOR VOLUME_UP
key 114   #FOR VOLUME_DOWN

SECOND ROW
Specific application/action launchers:
Code: 
HOME                     #Launches "Home"
MENU                     #Launches "Menu"
BACK                     #Takes you back to the last activity
SEARCH                   #Launches "Universal Search"
CALL                     #Launches the "Phone" activity and corresponding .apk or initiates a call
ENDCALL                  #Ends a call
CAMERA                   #Launches "Camera" activity and corresponding .apk
FOCUS                    #Initiates Auto-Focus while using the Camera
VOLUME_UP                #Self explanatory
VOLUME_DOWN              #Self explanatory

THIRD ROW
And attributes saying if it should wake the phone at button push to complete the action, or if it should just complete the action without waking the screen.
Code: 
WAKE                 #Completes the action without waking the screen
WAKE_DROPPED         #Wakes the phone to complete the action
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

2. NOW WE WILL EDIT SECOND AND/OR THIRD ROW
Erase the center row value for any key to completely disable it. To reassign the key, replace the center row value with another one from the same row. Change the right row value to either "WAKE" or blank to enable the wake function. Do not modify the left row.
NOTE: don't edit left row i.e. first row which contains specific key identity number.

FOR EXAMPLE I DO THESE CHANGES
DEFAULT VALUES ---
Code: 
key 115   VOLUME_UP         WAKE
key 114   VOLUME_DOWN       WAKE

CHANGED VALUES ---
Code: 
key 115   CAMERA         WAKE
key 114   FOCUS          WAKE

NOW VOLUME UP KEY WILL WORK AS CAMERA KEY AND VOLUME DOWN KEY WILL WORK AS FOCUS KEY....
NOTE: all words should be in BOLD letters i.e. capital letters...

Yes you can replace apk's with root explorer...
I don't understand what you are talking of systemui.apk and framework-res.apk...
If you are talking of while Decompileing apk you will need to install framework-res.apk...
YES you will have to resize images to same dimention...

Sorry for asking about this but I think it will cause problem.

I have tried decompiling worked perfect. The problem starts when I recompile. After recompilation when I extracted both the apk's (original and recompiled one) some of the xml's which were edited are missing.

Edit: I used 7zip for extracting and compressing, but the folder res/values/ is missing . It is also not there in the original apk.

i think now i know why you get those errors... use apktool to decompile apk's and when you compile them back open both orignal and moded in 7zip or similar and copy META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml file from orignal to moded without extracting them... just drag and drop... and now you won't get those force closes...
