Im looking for help with changing status bar icons, i have looked into it in the forums and have tried but failed since im posting here lol, i have the sgh-i747m and running the hyperdrive rom, the only issue i find with this rom is i miss stock signal icon for lte and would actually like to pay someone to edit whatever file they need to to get my 3g, h, and 4g to just say LTE, i do have the systemui.apk and the framework-res.apk from the stock rom, if anyone could help out it would be really appreciated
That can be easily done by editing/replacing/copying your png's in each apk's you have. But this site can help, it may not give you the icons you want but you might find something you will like.

* Edit +:
An LTE Icon? When you use data? Let me take a look. Give me an LTE icon that I can edit and your framework.

Ok my phone is running 2.1 with Aloysius Version 6..I love the rom and the speed.
There are 2 things I want to change, and it will not let me run any type of framework from metamorph to theme the top status icons..
I am wanting to change the top icons to where the usb icon looks like a little flash drive thats blue, the battery is round that is blue(as it dies, it also changes to red color/orange), the 3g icon is a round circle that says 3g. There is a theme that has all of this in it, and when I try to run it, it forces my phone to reboot..any help?
also clear widgets, i cannot get access to this, it basically makes my calendar/weather/etc. transparent etc.
Thanks in advance for the help
if u....

If you check the heroc forums you'll find a good bit of stuff. Just make sure its based on the latest Sprint leak. I've tried several and they work. If you want a specific look there's a wealth of how to's over there regarding .9 pngs editing, hex editing etc. Happy hunting also the themers over there are very helpful and quick to respond.e
Could you post me a link to the ones you have tried?
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.

Wow, this seems crazy hard. I'm going to give it a shot, though. Thank you for telling me where they are located

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

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.
The Direct Link to mod can found here (view single post)

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.

Hi, please can someone help me replacing the cm/lineageos data icons? i want the motorola ones, but when i decompile the systemui of lineageos, i dont get png files, only xml files... how i know what xml files are the data signal icons?
@deewfrank Hey sorry for late reply. I figured out you can replace the lte icon with 4g by following:
In systemUI/res/values/bools.xml
Search lte and find this line;
Use_4g_for_lte, make it true and you will get 4g instead of lte.
Maybe you can check for something Similar for h+ too.
So,go ahead and try.
