Please tell me .. Can I install lenovo k5's systemui in Samsung tab 3.
Is it possible to install another Android's systemui to another Android ..
Sorry, but no. Every SystemUI is unique to the device it's on.

You might be able to alter the Samsung APK so it looks like the Lenovo one but it won't be a quick job.

I tried to replace system ui on a device but I can't find one for my device. I find 1 system ui on xda and it doesn't mark for which device. I replace it with root browser and now the notification bar is gone, wallpaper became black, can't open recent apps and can't play Easter egg. My device is Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Can someone help?

It doesn't work that way, sorry. You can only replace your SystemUI.apk with one that works on your particular rom. If you try using one from a different rom or phone, it won't work.
Try having a look in the forum for your device - you may find some modded APK files you can use there.

Due to the large amount of people who like to change/mod your status bar (aka SystemUI) and also to ease some rework of copy, rename, paste, set permissions and restart the phone, I decided to make this simple application that does it all in two clicks, without restart your phone!

How to install:

- Uninstall previous versions if needed
- Install it as normal apk (All device supported, Gingerbread and above)


How it works:

Warning: Possible wallpaper loss!! If so, just reset it!!!

1 - Put your modded SystemUI.apk on the SD card root
2 - Disconnect SD card (if not, the application will alert you)
3 - Click on "Replace SystemUI.apk from SD card root and set permissions !!" button (wait and/or ignore any system error alert)
4 - Click on "Restart SystemUI service now !!" button (the application will finish by itself)
5 - Wait system restarts your new installed SystemUI.apk
6 - Enjoy it!

If you want just to restart your SystemUI, simple click "Restart SystemUI service now !!" button!
If you want just to go to SystemUI settings info page, simple click "Go to SystemUI settings page !!" button!


Being rather new in this game, I don't understand the instruction. Could you please explain steps 1 and 2? By sd card, do you mean the internal storage or the removable micro sd card? I understand how you can disconnect the latter, but that doesn't seem the right move. So how do I disconnect the internal storage? Please help me out. I'm running LineageOS Nougat 7.1.2 on a Samsung galaxy s 3 (gt-i9305).
