HOW TO GET KITKAT/JB/ICS TITLE BAR ON GINGERBREAD DEVICES
THIS GUIDE IS TOTALLY MADE BY ME.
I KNOW THERE'S ALREADY A GUIDE FOR THIS BY SIR SPACECAKER. BUT THIS ONE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THAT ONE. AND IN THIS GUIDE, THE TITLE BAR DOESN'T SCROLL WITH SCROLLING WINDOWS CONTENT
REQUIREMENTS:
1. APKTOOL
2. PC WITH JDK Installed.
3. framework-res.apk,twframework-res.apk, Services.jar,Settings.apk or any other apk you want to apply Kitkat/JB/ICS title bar to.
4. KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DECOMPILING, RECOMPILING, EDITING ETC(Don’t ask me how to do that. Use xda search options instead)
5. PATIENCE
