Hello all, I made some changes to the status bar and for the most part it went smooth other than the signal icon. I have a D3 with the Eclipse 3 rom. I used Ninjamorph went into framework , apps, systemui.apk and changed the png files of the signal bar png's. when I reboot the new image shows up but changes back to the old style when the 3g or 1x kicks in. do I need to change a different signal png? I know there's something im missing.

Hi im trying to change the signal and wifi icons in my theme. I've been replacing the relevant icons in the drawable-hdpi folder within framework-res.apk.
However when i flash the modified theme the icons dont change, they actualy dissapear.
Ive done this same process with the battery icon and all worked well. If someone could point out where im going wrong i would much apreiciate it.
Thanks in adv....
I'm looking to change the status bar icons (particularly the icons for signal strength). I've replaced the pngs in drawable-HDPI in both the framework-res.apk and the SystemUI.apk, but I see no change in the icons. Any suggestions/ideas on how to change them? I'm running GingerJane.

Are you using metamorph or ninjamorph? I've never had any success using metamorph, personally. I just cut the crap and use ninjamorph. Yeah,a little more work,but I see results

Which ones in SystemUI did you change and what ROM are you using? IIRC, Ginger BAMF uses cdma_sys_4signal_0 - 4 currently.
Hell, i can't even find system UI , where did you find it.
I read it was under system/ app/ ? but its not there.
Would like to change my signal strength icons.
I used ninjamorph and the .png are there
framework.resapk/res/drawable-hdpi.
and when i start the phone the .png image is there for signal strength
but as soon as the TB connects to service it reverts back to stock.
Any ideas anyone.
I read and read and no one seems to know how to fix this.
Anyone?
I have changed bluetooth and battery to rpm gadge for the battery
and blue icon for bluetooth and gps icon. But can't change signal strength
or 4g icon.

SystemUI is only for Gingerbread ROM's. If you don't see it in system/app (SystemUI.apk) then you are not on Gingerbread. For Froyo, the signal strength icons and the 4G icons are located in com.htc.resources in /system/framework. In fact, every status bar icon that is in com.htc.resources.apk in Froyo, was moved to SystemUI for GB. Hope this helps.
yes that helps thank you very much.
hopefully i can change the icons now.
i will post back when i find out.
update: Nope didn't change them still I will play with it some more.
Maybe there is another area i goto change.
Signals showed when it booted up but as soon as it connected
the signal reverted back to white bars again.
Update 2: OK! I got the 4g to change to purple from the icon from droidpirate.
I had to zip aline them when it asked , i said yes and that worked. YES
Now all i have to do is go back and reasign the signal icons and select yes to zip aline them.
I hope that works for the signals. Trying to put in the bullet icons for signals from droidpirate.com site.
Update 3: Still no go with the signal bars. Dam!
There has to be another area or something else i have to change.
Will report back, i remeber reading i might have to change it in
two areas, I can't remember now.
Update 4: Well i have change ever icon except the stupid signal white bars.
don't understand when i boot the TBolt, the bullet icon with a little red x shows (sys sig null) shows up
Until the phone actually gets the signal then it reverts back.
May im not changing the correct item. Its saying its the same and the icon i want to change (stat_sys_signal_0.png thru -4.png)
they are showing in ninjamorph as changed icons but not when i boot up.
Do i need to change them in another area?

above link is what im trying to set as my signal icons ( im on froyo not gingerbread)
Thanks again for the help.
Ok i am able to use ninjamorph on the thunderbolt.
But i still can't change my signal icons, and the crosshairs e911? icon.
I have tried twice with ninjamorph.
I'm running CM7 on my original Droid. I'm using the phone strictly as a VOIP Phone and the cellular connection is deactivated. I've used Ninjamorph to black out the cell phone signal bars, but now there is a big space between my wifi icon and the battery icon (where the cell signal bars used to be). So is there a way that I can swap the positions of the cell phone bars and the wifi icon? Or maybe just a way to remove the cell phone bars from the notification bar?
I would love to be able to rearrange the icons on the status bar and on the notification bar!

So I've experienced an empty space to the left of my notification bar and was wondering if this would be able to fix it/get it back to its original state? Here is the brief on when this occurred:
I had recently updated my sensation to ics. Everything was fine but today after an application update to Google+ and lookout security, there was a space occurring to the left of my notification bar where the notifications for some of my other apps would usually occur so it looked like there was an empty space to the left before my first app notification (all my app notifications shifted over to the right by one space you can say).
I have included photos of before and after.
You would have to edit the layout xmls of the systemui.apk to tell it not to draw those icons
So basically I follow the tutorial linked above with the section "Switching the icons around with the notification icons (optional)"? Or is there another way to do it? Also, do I need root access to continue with that tutorial?

I dont think you need root access unles you try to adb push the file back onto the device and you cant du to root permissions. But you could always slip the .apk into a flashable zip and go from there.

Hello everyone,
I recently increased the screen resolution from 360dpi to 420 in order to have more information on my screen.
Unfortunately some statusbar icons like the network speed (H, E, LTE) are very very small now.
Does somebody know how ti increase the size?
Is there maybe a mod/theme available?
Btw: I saw on some Honor screenshots it's possible to seperate the network speed icon from the signal icon.
Is there a tutorial available how to do this?
Best Regards
Edit: I just remarked I posted in the wrong section... sorry! Please move it to the Q&A section please...

This is the only annoying thing with my Honor 9. I have tried different themes by using this Themes Manager, but so far i tried no theme should modify the size of the statusbar icons.
Am i wrong?
