Sorry but why are you trying this through ADB? You are decompiling and editing your own LGSystemUI.apk switching icons and you are trying to overwrite it? (pull and push)
Do you have ROOT access? This app is in System and I think root is a must and if you trying to change it while ROM is running it will crash.
So I guess you are doing it in Recovery ? Meaning you are rooted, and you are adding the correct permissions?
So either you are not rooted in which case I do not think this is possible or you are rooted and there is more things that can go wrong.
Need more info from you.
ALSO if you are rooted why dont you try Xposed and its vast theming possibilities ? Easier as decompiling an app. Even here in this section you should have some options to choose from.

Thanks for response so yes i am root no rom installed i did this all day in my epic when i had it but its not working on this lg the whole reason is for so i can change the wifi and signal bar icons only to a specific icons i have, any help please

I am not sure I can help you there much. As you did not mention where it fails?
Its a long time since I was doing this with the APKTool or some "All in one" solution. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/guide-to-decompiling-and-recompiling-with-apktool/
Basically you have to find the right tool for the right Android version. Follow the guide on the recompiling - so LG accepts the file. And adb push in recovery with the permissions so you do not have problems starting it.
Always have a back up!
But maybe check in the xposed department really. I mean here are some modders already
I would suggest write them a PM like @ock he made a theme kitkat icons in his thread. Maybe he could just tell you how to exchange it with your own icons.

Imma research thanks man u pointed me in right direction so far

Open the APK with Winrar navigate to res/drawable-xxhdpi and drag your icons there (make sure the names match with the names of the PNG's you want to replace. Then adb push LGSystem.apk

Messaging box color

Hey,
Just picked up this phone came from a Note 2.
Anyways i cant find any settings to get the messaging box where all the texts are from everyone to be black. its white/gray and it looks ugly with my swiftkey thanks
Cedric
Hey bud, I'm guessing you want to change the color of the bubbles? Go to the main text screen (shows all your active texts) and hit the menu button on your phone. From there you'll be able to access settings and change a few things.
EDIT= Just realized what you were talking about. I hate it too! I have everything on my phone dark and that's the only screen that's white. I'm not sure if you can change it.

Mines black by default? See my screenshot below.
But someone over in the theming section remade the apk, I think you can just install it, might have to replace the old one I'm not sure since mines black and I don't need it.
Ahh it's going to drive me crazy. And I don't want to root it.

How? No idea, I've got the Rogers S4 up in Canada so maybe its our firmware? My SMS/MMS contacts and dialer are all black by default, wait till you have an unlocked boot loader and maybe flash our ROM? There's also no lag
If anybody wants to try to use my default SMS /MMS here's a link to a zip with both the apk and odex files you'll need to copy into yours system / apps folder
**THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP**
**YOU MUST EXTRACT MANUALLY AND PUSH MANUALLY**
Side note : you make be able to simple side load the apk as normal but I'm not sure. Report back if you'd like
I can also do contacts / dialer as well
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xuepksbhn22lla4/SecMMS.zip
Might be interested in the contacts apk....first going to see if I can get the MMS to at&t to work

I see it has to be decompiled / compiled. Never was successful at that in the past lol.

You can decompile SecWallpaperChooser.apk, replace the stock wallpapers, and recompile it. It's a hassle if you change wallpapers a lot though.
There is a systemui that I did in the theme section that has the 100% trans status bar and other things done to it. It for odexed roms and has to be pushed to system/app have not made a flash able zip yet... made them before us att users had a custom recovery

i9500, i9505 Theme insall to Sprint S4

I saw this theme in the i9500, i9505 theme forum and thought it looked good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271332
I tried to flash it to a couple Touchwiz Roms on my sprint s4 but it wouldn't boot afterwards. I searched the thread and saw someone try it on the Verizon s4 without any luck as well. Does anyone know if it's difficult to get this to work on the Sprint s4? If its not difficult can anyone hook me up? I have no idea what all would be involved in doing so.
Thanks!

Yeah, I tried Reverpats theme and the Blu Kuban rom. Those were nice but I liked the gray and softer blue of the discreet blue theme I linked to a little better. Thought I'd throw it out there to see if it was simple to make it compatible for our devices.

You can try swapping out the "update-binary" and "updater-script" from Reverpats theme with the one in Discreet Blue. You'll need to use win-rar or 7zip to access the zip and then the META-INF folder to get to these.

I gave this a shot. It flashed and let the phone boot but nothing changed. When I first tried to flash the discreet blue theme, the phone wouldn't boot after flashing.

I flashed the cwm before I got root, is this why I was having issues with my phones functionality? It stopped acting out when I flashed the penguin .exe
Or are these xposed links to apps that fix that erratic behavior from our SGL?
And do I need install these xposed if my phone seems to be working better than ever?

odin flashed gardaltetmo_cwm.tar.md5 then my phone was acting funny, slow and apps would seen to just forget they were running. I was so tired I flashed cwm before I had root. I thought at the time that it was the cwm causing the issue.
So I got on my pc and read more off the thread and eventually came across an app that looked allot like odin. Shabbypenguin or something. After flashing root my phone was even more responsive than the day I bought it.
Still don't know what those Xposed links are for...

The Xposed links are so you can install the Xposed Framework and any modules for it. The RootCloak module lets you hide root from apps. Isis, for example. I haven't found any other fully functional/useful modules yet. Wanam Xposed and Advanced Power Menu looked promising, but don't work perfectly with Touchwiz roms.
As far as freezing/random app crashes, I have not had any issues. I'm using the "Stock" kernel that shabbypenguin first posted, I think his One Click exe may use a different one. Still have the stock recovery, waiting for an Online Nandroid Backup patch before changing to CWM. I also use ES Task manager's Kill All widget after every reboot and clear cache data frequently.
I wish I had the experience. Probably would've kept stock recovery myself. But I was impatient. Without nandroid i really shouldnt be messing w cwm.

You can adb push the stock recovery to /mmcblk0p10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2605407&d=1393583876, extract , get the recovery.img file inside the extracted folder
Do a full backup from CWM recovery first, just in case. Or you could reflash CMW with Odin, in case or failure. I really need to make an Odin flashable zip of the stock recovery.

You will need to verify that the battery is the same size and capacities. As far as I know, most of the phones use unique batteries.

Xposed has a module that can successfully hide root for ISIS and OTA update. When my device was working I verified. I'm currently trying to learn how to build Cyanogenmod 11 for the SGH-T399 since I'm soft bricked / boot looped until an update from T-Mobile surfaces for Kit Kat.
