Here is the tricky part....

How to Mod SystemUI.apk without any errors...(Particularly for dependencies apk) 

It is recommend to set new working folder for these type of moding alone....

Follow the step 1-3 to setup multitool...

Now copy the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk to "Other" folder like below;



Then open setup.bat and enter 2



Now enter 1 for installing framework-res.apk

then followed by 2,3,4 to install all dependencies apks

Then installation of twframework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk is optional ..It means you need to install only if u have these files otherwise ...leave it..

After installing done follow the decompile and recompile procedure for successfull moding on systemui.apk
