[MOD] Add Image In Notification Panel - Build Your Own ROM #3

Make Your Own Custom ROM

What this Mod Does :

It is a fairly simple mod which adds a custom Image in your notification panel. You can add any image you like. I will have some awesome images to add in your Notification Panel which I made my self :D

After I recently did a poll in my facebook group (join it, it is an awesome and big community) https://www.facebook.com/groups/mtkroms/
There were many people who wanted to know how to mod ROMs and build their own Custom ROM or modded Stock ROM. I have already made two guides on modding ROMs.
I will link to those posts somewhere down below. Be sure to check them out.

This guide shall not be copied, duplicated, re-shared and/or re-blogged.

My Notification Panel (Tested in CM 12.1 Beta 6) :

Will it work on my device :
Yes this mod will work on just about any device and Android Version, It will work on both Stock and Custom ROMs. I have tested this on CM 12.1 Beta 6 and it works like a charm. The only drawback is, if you use this MOD in any ROM which merges lockscreen and notification panel then the image will also appear in your notification panel (this only happens in Lollipop) There will be no issues like this if you follow this on Android Version below Android Lollipop

Things You Need :
- Modded Apktool : Download
- A 240x400 Resolution Image To Add in Notification Panel. (Download images, bottom of the post)
- A little bit of experience with Apktool

15. And change android:background to :

For Eg :  If you added saitama.png in /SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi-v4/ then you will change : android:background="@drawable/name_of_your_image" to this :android:background="@drawable/saitama"
17. Save and exit
