No..but that's because the status_bar.xml is different. The same sort of thing can be applied to Gingerbread though and the clock can still be centered. If you can share your xml file, I'll show you how.

Isn't it for gingerbread and below only??
Or Mr.tickle already updated it to work with ics?
Personally I prefer step by step editing the code.
But it's alright to use that tool if compatible with ics already.
It's not 100% compatible with ICS just yet. Some files de- and recompile without any issues and some don't. I'm waiting for the next apktool to be released which will make it 100% compatible.
But I'm on ICS and I can use it to change my battery icon. My icons are in SystemUI.apk which is compatible. It all depends.
If you want to do it step by step, have a look at this link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849223
It's a bit old now, but the principle is the same. This is the method I use in Tickle My Android (more or less).
This is the status_bar.xml from my tablet. The tablet's still on Gingerbread so your code won't be very different.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" android:orientation="vertical" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"
xmlns:android="[URL]http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android[/URL]">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.IconMerger android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/notificationIcons" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:gravity="center_vertical" />
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/statusIcons" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:gravity="left|center" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:singleLine="true" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/ticker" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:animationCache="false">
<ImageSwitcher android:id="@id/tickerIcon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="8.0dip">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.AnimatedImageView android:layout_width="25.0dip" android:layout_height="25.0dip" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.AnimatedImageView android:layout_width="25.0dip" android:layout_height="25.0dip" />
</ImageSwitcher>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.TickerView android:id="@id/tickerText" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:paddingRight="10.0dip" android:paddingTop="2.0dip">
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Ticker" android:singleLine="true" />
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Ticker" android:singleLine="true" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.TickerView>
</LinearLayout>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" android:id="@id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:gravity="left|center" android:paddingRight="6.0px" android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:singleLine="true" />
</com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView>So we apply the code suggested by serajr (I have to be honest, it's a more elegant solution) and we end up with this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" android:orientation="vertical" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/icons" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.IconMerger android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/notificationIcons" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:paddingLeft="6.0dip" android:gravity="center_vertical" />

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.AnimatedImageView android:layout_width="25.0dip" android:layout_height="25.0dip" />
</ImageSwitcher>
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.TickerView android:id="@id/tickerText" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1.0" android:paddingRight="10.0dip" android:paddingTop="2.0dip">

i copy all your code into systemui from my rom and i got clock in status bar in left

Just had a look and I can see why. That'll teach me to stop doing this stuff while I'm at work!
Nah..I'll still do it..
I've updated that post with the correct code. I had the LayoutWidth as wrap_content, when it should have been fill_parent. Try it now.
whooaaa~ great thanks >,< :good:Done. I used the same principles mentioned above and did it in a few seconds. This can be pushed back to your phone, just make sure you get the permissions right.
but it's still little prob bro :fingers-crossed:
the signal go left position but the clock too hehe
can you fix it?? thanks

First, thanks for this tutorial. But I have this little problem:
When I reboot my phone, status bar is all black and it remains like that until I receive a notification. Can that be fixed?

Guys, I'm bleh, I can get the center clock but It moves when another signal icon pops up, and if I move it around I get the + sign in the notifications, any help will be greatly appreciated, I am posting my original status_bar.xml from CM7.
I am on EVO-4G if that matters.
EDIT: WOOT, never mind, I didn't read about the fill_parent thing, I got it working, Nice Work!!
Thank you very much.
BTW, can I do without the
or what is the point of it?

I have a question, in serajr code the order is this:
and Ticklefish is this:
Does the order matter?
And if I get this right you are drawing the status bar background on top of the clock so it "hides it" , am I getting this right?
I ask because I am trying to make a theme and I want to know what to do next with the status bar background drawing thing, so I can use it to my advantage.
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" [COLOR="Red"]android:id="@id/ticker"[/COLOR] [B]android:background="@drawable/status_bar_background"[/B]
Code:
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" [B]android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background"[/B] [COLOR="red"]android:id="@id/ticker"[/COLOR]And if I get this right you are drawing the status bar background on top of the clock so it "hides it" , am I getting this right?

Yes..but I would need your framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk to do it. Your XML might be different from mine.
That's some very good questions!
The order of the 'android:whatever' bits doesn't matter at all. It's worth keeping the order the same in every tag, just to make it easy to read, but it really makes no difference.
And that's exactly what the code does. My solution moves the clock out of the way but the spacing would need to be adjusted for different resolutions. Serajr's code is a better way. You could try a RelativeLayout or FrameLayout to center the clock and make it move, but it's a lot of effort for a minor reward.
I'm impressed you asked about the order, well done!
I had to attach status_bar.xml because i have a problem inserting code (something to do with 10 posts requirement).
Plz make a clock on center on my LWW, i just uploaded my 2 files in your other tpc.
Thank you very much for clarifying my doubts, I have noticed that when changing themes the status bar background gets on top of all the icons and it gets fixed after a reboot, I used serajr code so I was wondering if the issue could be fixed using your code, but as order doesn't matter like you told me there is no point compiling back my SystemUI.

So when you get a notification, your status bar returns to normal?
