fully understand your situation. attached is the SystemUI.apk from my phone/CleanROM 1.0. Also thought i'd mention that CleanROM 1.0 does not include LiDroid settings (23 toggles) app. No need to theme the whole System UI, just the components that make it look like the picture in your OP (e.g., solid black background, removal of the ongoing and notifications bar and placing the clear button at the top next to settings). that's all i'm looking for. thanks!
