Go to SystemUI_src/res/layout/ and open (gemini_status_bar.xml on mediatek devices) (status_bar.xml on other devices) (tw_status_bar.xml or tw_status_bar_dual.xml on samsung devices)

Copy this code and paste in line 5:
<RelativeLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/statbg" android:background="@drawable/stat_bg" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="50.0dip" />

Go to res/values/ids.xml and paste this code anywhere.
<item type="id" name="statbg">false</item>

And paste your desired background on drawable-hdpidrawable-hdpi and name it with "stat_bg.png"
