You can use the updater script to do things like DELETE unused garbage and push other files and such.
I take the rooted, stock rom and make me a zip installer with things like this, init.d files, deletes and other tweaks I like on my rom and end up with a 1 zip installer to precustomize everything.
Makes setup a breeze.
Again, this just shows why one should ALWAYS ALWAYS have a valid and updated NANDROID backup!!!!!!!!

If all you're doing is changing the clock, after you've replaced my file recompile and go....
You got the two data lines reversed... the second line is what's in your tw_status_bar.xml and you should replace it with the first line which is from stock tw_status_bar.xml.
Just replaced it, recompiled, rezipped, flashed, and it worked. I now have your mod with the clock visible. Thank you for the walkthrough, now I know how to modify APKs on my own!
Here it is in case you want to post it to your OP - let me know when you've grabbed it so I can delete it from my Dropbox.
Now, if all I want to do is take the stock SystemUI.apk and re-enable the 1X signal icon so I know when I'm on 1X-RTT and not EVDO (3G), what do I change and where? Thank you!

Doing this now. Thank you.
Ooops, sorry. I edited my zip file.
It's one of those things I never use so I wipe it off. I use gmail so don't bother keeping the other on there. Now you see why I re-iterated that you have a current NANDROID? People make mistakes, and I'm no professional DEV!!!!!
However, this is a GREAT LESSON for everyone. When you d/l someone's stuff, instead of blindly flashing it, glance at the script to see what it's going to do BEHIND the scenes. This was accidental but someone COULD wipe everything off or install something else that you weren't expecting.
A quick fix in this case instead of restore would have been to put the 2 files back into the zip, remove the updater line and reflash just the zip.
Again, soo sorry about that.

Hey no worries man. I always always make Nandroids whenever I'm about to do something that might bork the system.
I didn't even know what an updater script was until this, and anything that I can learn something new from I regard as a positive experience. And I learned a lot today - now I can modify my own APKs and that's so awesome, so thank you.
Do you know how to decompile jars? I want to fix the 4-in-1 reboot mod now, need to replace the command that the Quick Reboot option launches because the currently posted one sends the phone into a bootloop.
