Root Themed notification drawer and other stuff for Lg Motion.

I'm gonna start theming the LG motion little by little till we get recovery. Will be showing how since it requires a bit more work since we have no recovery.
If you guys want a different color just tell me, also what you would like to be themed and ill look into it.
First change just to see if it worked.

Stock Status bar black.

All black notification drawer with minor tweaks.

First rename and remove the stock from stockSystemUi.apk or black from blackSystemUi.apk depending on which you want.
, than just copy and paste the modified SystemUi.apk in /system/app using root explorer and reboot.
Its easy and you won't brick.

can you possibly change the lock screen Carrier Label?....

i want it to say "Rory's Phone" instead...because it does say "If Lost Please Call XXX XXX XXXX" right now...but i want it to say Rory's Phone instead of Metro PCS

I liked the changes the first one , It made me feel like this phone will start to get brand new roms in the future or something , Then I applied the second one by changing the name to systemui.apk and then i put it in the correct folder without knowing what I am actually doing and it worked , Easy and painless! Can you make allmost everything Black,Blue,White , Like the settings? Thanks :)

Oh and it changed my wallpaper back to the original default , No Problem but just saying , And I found the clock , I am on Nova Prime , Using stock ICS icons , I might change themes , using a continuos vertical down app drawer , Can you also do what the other guy said , Allow us to change the "MetroPCS" to "&&&&&&&&" to what we want
