change signal bars - Droid Eris General

i have the stock cm7 4 bar signal meter and would love to get the one on this phone

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
its the signal meter on the huawei ascend it shows both 3g and 1x at the same time, i read somewhere that in the build prop file you can change hd_new_doublesignal=1 to hd_new_doublesignal=0 and it makes it only show either 3g or 1x depending on what its using. could that be reversed to make it show both on the desire? but my build prop doesnt even have the hd_new_doublesignal line.
thanks guys
i also asked this in the desire thread but they tend to not be very help full over there. and people here are familiar with the ascend due to alot of cricket flashing
EDIT: i added ro.config.hw_new_double_signal=1 to my build.prop file rebooted and the bars are the same, so theres more to it than just adding that to the build.prop anyone know what i would need to do? i have my sisters ascend here to pull any file i need off of it to do it.

ok someone said i need to change/edit the icons in the SystemUi.apk, or in a Themefile in com.android.systemui/res/drawable-hdpi
if thats all i really need to do, will i be able to just pull the icons from the ascend and push them into my phone and it work?

Making new clock numbers

Here is what the standard flip clock numbers look like.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Each number appears to be centered in its own 100x128 pixel block in the total 1024x256 size of the image.
Is there an easy way to place the numbers in the same locations when making new clock numbers with different fonts? I am using Gimp 2.6 for image editing. Because it's free... and I'm cheap.
Okay, I think I made the numbers right. In case anyone is interested, here is how it came out.
I was scratching my head over this the other day when I was making some clock hands......... do the images have to be in exactly the right place in relation to the edges of the image, in the end I just too some clock hands from a cab and drew over them to make sure I was in the right place......
I've wanted to do some clock number for a while... your knowledge may save me a LOT of trial and error
Thanks....
ps have you tried paint.net? I use that because its free and Im also cheap..... Ive yet to try this gimp thingy Im hearing so much about.....

Transparent Lockscreen Unlock Sliders!

So I made these for my tattoo because I didn't really like the look of the slider tabs, and thought I'd share them. I changed the unlock icon to blue and the silent to red and vibrate I left orange. I think it looks okay, but would probably be better with new buttons altogether. Here is a screenshot so you can see for yourself what it looks like:

To install you'll have to pull your current framework-res.apk, rewrite the files in drawable mdpi then push it back.
Is it possible that u help us rewrite the file, and zip it up? so that all we do is just push it in, thanks.
if what you mean is that i just give you a framework-res.apk with the changes made i can do that but my framework-res.apk is different from yours and it could cause unwanted changes or errors. if you want a default everything else but just the transparent sliders then let me know i can make that for you.
But what version of android did u installed? Why is ur .apk different?
im running 2.2 SPQ Rom... i dont know if that makes a difference but if you stlil want my framework-res.apk let me know.
Transparent unlock
I am not understand you, u mean replaced the all file into framework-res.apk..??
Help me step by step please.

Is it possible you changed your HD's taskbar by using third party app?
I have never seen a battery and date indicator like yours on officila ROMs.
Maybe you should place your question in the thread you got your taskbar from.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nope, this is a software call BattClock and has nothing to do with 3G icon because 3G icon is missing before I install it. Anyway, I fixed myself, I replaced phcanOverbmp.dll and now the icon is back.
As long as it works....

Center clock and transparent status bar mod.

Before I begin let me point out that i can't write a guide or answer technical questions, truthfully i don't know even know how I did it as I've tried that many different things over the last 2 days to get this to work my mind is a blur. I'm posting this here in the hope that someone smarter than me can pick it up and make this work properly for wildfire i.e move the status bar icons around and get a transparent bar as just moving the clock gave me a real headache. This is a screenshot of the central clock on my wildfire, I'm on cm7 nightly 177.

Here's a link to the original thread where I got the idea from all credits go to the guys over there....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174202
Edit: there is a bug with it when you get a notification the clock remains where it is and the text crosses over, I think that's why the icons need switching around.
Also off topic but can anyone give me some links on how to use apktools apkmanager and adb as I was struggling a bit with this, its the first time I used them.

[Q] Bizzare Notification Icon

It does nothing. It just remain there. The one in the far left, the first icon. What in the world is it?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
Don't worry about the 1X. I've been trying to force the device to obey my command to update the PRL so that the connection be 3G/4G. Just want to know what the first icon in the notification is and if it can be removed.
Location service disabled. I have to say one thing though - i found this on google in exactly 2 minutes ( I have very slow internet ). Maybe you could do your own searching and find answers to your questions. Your behaviour could be considered rude here
I have tried and tried on Google for several days. I just didn't know what words to look for. I've also tried on Yahoo. I apologize of I seem rude, I'm really having a hard time to understand many things. I was hoping that the icon was what caused the connection to be stuck at 1X. I'm about to go to the store for help to get it to be 3G/4G either fix or replace. I will see if the people at the store can remove the location icon. I'm new to EVO 3D and its older style of Android.
