I've searched for an embarrassing amount of time to find where the 4g notification icons are located. I found some info in the og evo forum saying its in Settings.apk but i cannot find it anywhere in evo 3d. I'm mostly concerned w/finding the stat_notify_wimax_in_range, I believe. Left hand side notification 4g wifi symbol with exclamation. Can anyone direct me where to find this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

are you trying to find the way to remove that notification? If so, I made that mod in the other thread about this...Found Here
On page two, I posted links for the mod that I made to remove that (your 4g is on!) from the status bar.

I was hoping to match all my other icon edits. Just trying to add a bit of color but I think i'll be just fine removing it. Or help w/locating is great.
Many thanks!
The 4G icon just bugs me being the only white icon(s) left. I literally looked thru every apk in 5 different roms trying to nail their location. May be going blind!

If youre trying to color the actual 4g icon (signal bar) that is located in systemUI.apk (res/drawables-hdmi) just look for the icon that most resembles the one your setup uses

Thanks again Vinchenzop. You're very helpfull but i still can't find that icon for 4g notification that pops on left of status bar. i have edited all of the ones in settings and systemUI but the dang thing is still white. not sure where it is but I can't find it anywhere. oh well!
I did use your removal zip and my status bar looks much better not having the one lone white icon. I really appreciate your help on this!
oh, and another thing, not sure if this will help anyone help me locate this mysterious icon but it has only 3 wifi bars above 4G and an exclamation. it pops on left of status bar when i am disconnected from 4g, and in notification pull down. i guess it is possible the rom i built from was missing the icon or maybe i deleted it somehow but i've also lookeded in other roms too and no luck finding it. if anyone has it, could you post it here and let me know what apk it's in?
i found the correct icon in an og evo rom but i can't find the matching one in any 3d roms. i'll attach it. this must be the one that would change it but i can't find it. the same icon title in 3d has 4 bars and isn't the one that pops in status bar.
still, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try doing a search in these APKs:
SystemUI.apk
framework-res.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
I'll take a look and see if I see it. It may very well be in HTC's Framework.

Ok, so I've been trying to apply custom framework from a fellow xda member without success. I've flashed these metamorph files dozen of times and only half the icons show up, but the signal bars NEVER change, NEVER! It's so frustrating!! I just tried using the UOT Kitchen to see if that worked and it didn't. For gingerbread ROMs you have to upload systemUI.apk, com.htc.recourses and framework-res.apk which seems to take care of all the icon locations. After flashing the zip on first boot it shows the new signal bars for a few seconds, then switches back to the ugly stock 4 bars.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be? I figured uploading all three files I listed above would take care of the stupid signal bars, but once again I was wrong. Any help/advice/ideas is greatly appreciated.
Mods I apologize if this is in the incorrect section.

Driving me nuts too. Gladly buy someone a 12 pack (donate) if you can get me Gtalk, Gmail, Messages and Mail Color Icons like HERE
I posted my problem in the UOT thread in android development section. Hopefully someone can figure this out. I just don't understand why if you have to upload all 3 files where the HTC stock icons are why they don't change. It's mind boggling
Could not agree more.
Friendly bump
Is UOT setup for the Thunderbolt? Meaning will it replace the right signal bars, etc? Doesnt sound like it. Just use 7zip and replace the images yourself.

It's set up for gingerbread sense, so I think that it should work. AFA replacing icons manually, I don't know how to do that, you should know considering I tried it with your framework and had no luck I just don't understand why the new icons show up for a few seconds then they switch to the stock icons.
Yeah but they probably don't have it set up for Tbolts gingerbread. The signal bars are more than likely named different than the other phones.
That's understandable, but why would the new signal icon show up for a few seconds then disappear?
Also, since you're very familiar with this, could you post in here or pm me the name of all the signal/wifi/3G/battery icons and where they're located that need to be changed in order to get custom icons working properly? Or if there's a list you know about could you please link me to it?

Battery is in framework-res.apk/drawable-hdpi (Example - stat_sys_battery_0). Signal/wifi/3G is in SystemUI.apk/drawable-hdpi (example - 3G ICONS -stat_sys_data_connected_3g and cdma_sys_data_connected_3g WIFI -stat_sys_wifi_signal_0). BUT, if you use any of the BAMF toolkit edits they will override the SystemUI.apk. You would have to modify the eSystemUI.apk and dSystemUI.apk. They are located in system/etc/scripts. Hope this helps ya out a little bit.

I personally replace the battery images only. I was in total shock when I first started but now I can do it within minutes.. The one thing I don't know how to do is edit the xml files which you have to do in order for the icons to display properly. So in other words the stock battery only has 5 or 6 images but if you use a rom or theme that has a % (which I hate) it would have 101 images I believe.. so what I do is pull the xml/image files from a stock theme and place them in the rom I want. I'm not sure how to replace signal bars but pm me if you need help with battery.
It sounds way harder than it is

The problem is that the 3g and 4g arrows aren't
stat_sys_data_inandout_3g.png or stat_sys_data_inandout_4g.png
they are
stat_sys_data_inandout_3g_lte.png or stat_sys_data_inandout_vzw_lte.png
If you have the icons you want in 3g/4g then copy them over the similarly named 3g_lte and vzw_lte files. Then you'll get what you're looking for. If you want I can edit up your file to show you what I mean.
yeah if you don't mind. I used the uot kitchen so the mistake was on the automatic cooking. only icons that aren't red is the CDMA signal 4 bar,3g with arrows as well as the 4g lte. thanks for the help

3G:

change the default txt in the pulldown from black to white since the entire background is semi transparent. I haven't tried decompiling yet,figured i'd just extract the xmls out of res/layout but I did some reading where hex editing isn't required either. uot kitchen doesn't seem to get certain parts right. probably cause of the ota base

Hey guys!
Recently, I used Rom Toolbox Pro to change my statusbar icons but one won't change (the H+) icon.
I want to manually change this to the 4G Icon, but I'm having trouble locating the .png's in the root directory.
Does anyone know the path to the .png's?
(I've already tried system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi . This seems to contain the old icons, and not updated icons, since the the stock icons seem to be contained in here)
Also, I kind of want to make my pattern lockscreen invisible (remove the big black dots). I'm assuming this is also a .png somewhere in the root directory. A pointer to these files would also be appreciated! Thanks!
Might it be in twframework-res.apk? I haven't done any modifying with png's in a while, shot in the dark

Actually, I picked up somewhere that SystemUI.apk was the right directory.
However, I only have the name. I've looked around in Root Explorer but theres sooooo many files I'm having trouble locating it.
Could someone give me the path to \blah\blah\SystemUI.apk ? It'd be greatly appreciated!!
[EDIT]
Nm I did a root search and found it! Thanks guys!
However, there aren't some other .png's in here such as the download icon and stuff.
Anyone know where the other icons in the status bar might be located? (also the big black dots for pattern lock)

Never Mind...Just found out it is the smart stay notification. Have a good day......
Hi, I am an Android user since early 2010, and only twice I've seen this icon. I am currently using Cyanogenmod 11, Android 4.4.2. The first time I saw this, a few years back, I didn't react in time to take an screenshot, but I managed to do so a few minutes ago.
This icon, the two times I saw it, only appeared for a few seconds and went away, and I'm sure it is a really dumb question, but I need to know haha.I'm guessing it's trasnmiting something... OTA maybe?
I attached part of the screenshot of the notification bar. The icon I don't know is the 4th.
In the picture you can see the icon of vibration,wifi,cellular network, the weird icon, battery, and finnaly clock. Thanks!

I don't remember the name of this icon but you can extract systemui.apk or framework-res.apk from CM11 zip and search *wifi*.png. You should find this icon and its naming should help you to understand why you have it on your screen.

Hi! Thanks for answering.
I got the framework-res.apk and browsed through every "stat_*.png" I could find, but I didnt find a match. I browsed through all the res/drawable* .png and didnt find a match either. Looking again at the screenshot, the icon is a bit more white than the sjade of grey used for the other icons.
Is there any other place where custom status icons could be saved?
