For MTK Users :
First make sure you can recompile your SystemUI.apk correctly. To do this :
1) Decompile SystemUI.apk
2) Without modding SystemUI.apk recompile it again.
If you are able to recompile successfully then good if not there is nothing I can do

You must add this line :
<potato.mariozawa.statusbargradient.Gradient android:gravity="center" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
Note : If not able to copy the above code, copy it from here : Click Here
