I haven't been able to figure it out actually, sorry. Motorola did something really weird with the software on the Droid devices—instead of a nice clean update to white-themed KitKat, they had to leave the blue of previous Android versions along with the ugly custom carrier signal icons

question: can i take the systemui.apk from a moto x and put it on maxx to see the icons from moto x?
You could extract the images probably, but i don't think a straight swap would work. You could always back it up and try it though.

I liked the look of the launcher, but unfortunately had to go back to stock. The extra row at the top that was behind the search bar was livable, but the bottom row overlapping the slide indicator was just too much for me (only noticeable when widgets were placed on bottom row). Not that noticeable, but with the two things together, it was just too much for my OCD! Great job, though, really wish the rows lined up better.
Hmm... I'm in Safestrap and I can't mount. Is there an alternate method?
Doesn't work. UI is gone with the new apk. I switch back to the old one and all is fine again...
I used twrp, mount system, then copy files through command prompt. Ended up going back to stock, though (see previous post), so make sure you make a backup of the originals just in case.

Strange. That method worked fine for me. Rename the apk and odex, copy new apk, set permissions, reboot.
Did you rename the odex and set permissions on the new apk?

Curious if you have any plans to update this based on the new OTA? Hate VZW's giant 4G icon.
No thanks. I don't see that your is updated either anyway.
the file structure of the image framework files in system ui doesnt change after an update so it doesnt have to be updated, the images go to the same slot. so this thread and mine are currently working even after the newest update.
This replaces the entire sysui apk not just images. I am aware they would be "working" however they are not the same as the current systemui.apk found in the update. And unless you've gone through the entire apk you can't be sure that the only thing changed are images.
Anyone got the original MotLauncher.apk and SystemUI?
I am trying to take the OTA now

Sorry if this is a stupid question. But is there anyway to get these apks working on a non-rooted Droid Maxx?
