[REQ] Change signal bars to numerical readout - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Back in the day, on my HTC Incredible, there was a mod to change the signal bars into a numerical readout of signal strength (ex. -74dBm).
Has anyone seen something like this for the S4? Is it even possible?

From what I understand, the icons are just image files located in one of the APKs (I forget if it's framework-res or system). You could change it to basically anything, so in theory, yes it is possible. I don't have the time or knowledge to put a ton of effort into this, though =(

Signal strength

Is it possible to display the dbm value in the status bar instead of the traditional bars?

No responses. Thats a bummer. I wonder if I should take that as nobody knows or it's not possible?
Look at Signal Status Bar in Market.

Colored status bar

I had a theme on my cappy that would change the status bar icons to represent connection. the wifi and Bluetooth would change add example.
Does anyone make one for unnamed?

I think you are talking about the google server connection? This would change the color of the signal;data;wifi when connected to it. I think more people didn't like it to be honest. I ended up making it so it was just the data and wifi on the themes I did. I left it out for mattedBlues here.
I think it was different, my Bluetooth icon would change colors when connected to Bluetooth, the signal strength changed depending on strength (a bit like the digital battery that changes on the %
I will have to try and figure out what it was called.

Well Bluetooth already does that and any theme can be setup to do that. But some roms in cappy section used tsmparts which was added into the rom.
This allowed you to modify the status bar to your liking.

[Q] show DB level

I remember some keypad punch I could make my blackberry display the db level instead of the signal bar, is there any way to do this with the photon?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Don't know of a way to do it with the stock one, but if you don't mind it being on top left corner in your notification bar, look at signal status in the market it can show it as bars or as db readings. I couldn't live with out it, had it on my old blackberry as well.
Anything is better then nothing. Ill give it a try, thanks

Status Bar Icons

Using Rom Toolbox with the galaxy s2 my choices of icons are limited. Because of that, I want to know if anyone has figured out how to replace the 5 Signal bar icon and ( rom toolbox only has 4 bars) the sound icon with a slash, the H+ icon, 3g icon and Edge icon. Even though rom toolbox has a 3g one it doesn't replace the default one. Also, anyways to get a differnt signal bar color?

For the signal bar u can go onto uot kitchen and mess with it. U can also get apk tool and decompile systemUI.apk, and go into drawable-hdpi and the icons will be there, and u can edit them using a photo editor like gimp.

Thanks, does anyone know the specific names of the icons cause there's a lot of them.

The network icons start with - stat_sys_data
The signal strength bars start with - stat_sys_signal
Thanks, but uot kitchen confuses me too much any alternative?

Look at the how-to section. You'll have to spend time navigating, learning the site, and how to use it. UOT kitchen is as easy as it's going to get. It's really simple once you get a feel for it. Otherwise, you can replace the icons manually. Again, seemingly much at first, but really simple after some time. In my signature, I have linked a post I made about making these changes. At first glance, you might want to run away, but it gives STEP BY STEP instructions.
K, I will. Also does anyone have the default at&t gs2 status bar icons? I backedup my statusbar when it was modded by accident

Did everthing and did not get the stock vibrate icon or wifi signal back.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
vibrate icon as well as the wifi signal are located in systemUI.apk not framework-res.apk, so changing the framework-res file will not fix your problem
Where can I locate the system.apk?

Location Services "on" Icon

The icon has been on my status bar since yesterday. I dont remember seeing it over the weekend. Anyone else have this one on? Its not the GPS icon. I had to search the web to even find out what it is. Not affecting battery life as I got 14 usable hours yesterday.
I believe if you have Google location settings enabled it shows the icon on the notification bar. Technically it does effect your battery life but only very slightly

Thank you for the response. I found out that it is normal to see it. I found a .zip to remove the icon from the status bar.
Could you give me a link to the zip?

Look in the themes/skins section on this DNA section. Found it there
