Hi, now i am in big trouble.

I have tried this: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?291-My-first-APK-mod!-Transparent-Status-Bar

I'm stuck where i have to put a new SystemUI.apk in /system/app.

It says it failed. Strange, cause i have renamed the original without any problems.

I seems that i don't have access to make changes in root folders.

Also my 'back button' is gone and i need it badly. Everytime i need to go back i have to reset.

Please can anybody help me?

Please specify a more precise title for your post next time, that would really help others too.

Which firmware are you running ?

You should have the proper rights to move/copy the SystemUI.apk file. You could try to restore the original file with adb, or try again with a file explorer that works with root (Root Explorer or ES File Explorer).

If you haven't many apps installed, the easiest thing is probably to flash again the firmware.

I have ES File Explorer, but i can't use options.

The menubar is gone, and i have to change some things in 'options' to change things in root.

First of all, you're using Finless' modded SystemUI.apk on Kasty 2.0 which is probably in and of itself a mistake.

Second of all, once booted, get to the Market and get: (1) Button Savior; and (2) Ghost Explorer or (3) Xplore Manager

Either (2) or (3) will write to the \system\app folder which is where SystemUI.apk lives. If you followed Finless' instructions for changing the SystemUI.apk, you still have a backed up version of the .odex and .apk files which you renamed, so delete the bad SystemUI.apk, rename the two other files, then reset.

You can use Button Savior to get the functionality of the notification bar until you get the bar back. If you didn't follow Finless' instructions and rename the original SystemUI.apk and .odex file, you'll have to reflash the ROM to get them back.
