Tried this ( the terminal emulator method)
xda-developers - View Single Post - [MOD] STATUS BAR MOD'S 'Change the colour of your status bar and now pulldown 
'
then got a boot loop. Had Clockwork installed and created a backup, but now cannot return to clockwork mod recovery, only the stock recovery. I need to get into clockwork without going through ROM manager. Can someone help me out please?
