How to make android app icon live ???? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to make a live icon for my app which shows several pic as icon, just like MIUI calender app which shows date on its icon.I browsed all over the internet but could not find a way to make a live icon
Edit : I don't want to make a widget. I don't want to change an icon of already published app, by update I meant the app be able to update the icon on the basis of the data it receives. I want the icon to be dynamic instead of static.

[Q] Move Notification Bar icons (rearrange)?

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.

[Q] GB questions - icons and data toggle

So does GB not support data toggle by apps? LLama and switchpro can no longer toggle data.
Also, is there a way to use default app icons in the notification bar and not the odd all gray icons? Gmail looks odd with the all gray icon.
It is the icon in the new gmail. You can modify the app icon (stat_notify_email.png) or you can try to install an older version of Gmail

[Q] modify icon description

Just want to modify the descriptions of the icon shortcuts (bookmarks) on the home screen. Dont want a new launcher, or even change the icon just the description.
Where is the icon data held?

Tinted Status Bar [Xposed] Color Codes

Tinted Status Bar has been out for a long time now and despite its popularity its no longer being updated which means we have to take matters into our own hands and set the color codes manually to get the perfect color coding like in Android Lollipop.
Here I will list the color codes of apps in which tinted status bar didn't work
Add these color codes by going in per app tints and select the app and add them in All activities unless a specific activity is specified in brackets "(...)". Incase a specific activity is mentioned, only add in it.
Chrome
*ffe2e2e2
Android Device Manager
*ffd1d1d1
Google Docs (com.google.android.apps.docs.app.NewMainProxyActivity)
*ff4089f6
Google Slides (com.google.android.apps.docs.app.DocListActivity)
*fff6b400
Google Sheets (com.google.android.apps.docs.app.DocListActivity)
*ff0b9d58
Facebook
*ff3b5b98
Gmail
*ffdb4334
Google Play Games
*ff4f8027
(com.google.android.gms.games.ui.destination.games.GameDetailActivity)
*ff242424
(Note: For Google Play Games, add the first code in all activities, and the second in the activity mentioned)
Google Play Music
*ffef6a00
Google Play News and Weather
*ffffffff (turn icon color to ff000000)
Google Play Store
*ff6a9f38
Google +
*ffdb4336
Hangouts
*ff0b9d58
Google Keep
*ffffbf09
Google Messenger (com.google.android.apps.messaging.ui.ConversationListActivity)
*ff0089d1
Mobogenie (com.mobogenie.activity.DownloadManagerActivity)
*ff008cd1
Sound Cloud
*ff242424
Twitter
*ff55afef
Youtube
*ffe71f13
These codes will make the status bar match the action bar, if you want a stock lollipop kind of feel, go in overlay options and select the semi transparent overlay, it will give you slightly darker status bar as compared to action bar, as in Lollipop.
If you are using a Navigation Bar, tick the link status & Nav bar option in default settings for best results.
For those apps which do not follow a specific color code or do not have an action bar we need to determine a default colour, so go in default settings and change the following:
Default Status bar
*ff242424
Default Nav Bar
*ff242424
If you are using the Google Keyboard with Material Light Theme, then also change the following in default settings:
Navigation Bar Tint (IM)
*ffe3eaea
Navigation Bar Icon Tint (IM)
*ff2e373c
For Material Dark Theme on Google Keyboard, change to this:
Navigation Bar Tint (IM)
*ff21292b
Navigation Bar Icon Tint (IM)
*ffe3eaea
If you want codes for other apps not mentioned here, download the color picker app from playstore and open your target app, take a screenshot and then open color picker, load the screenshot and touch on action bar to get your code, enter that in tinted status bar to set it, also post it here in comments to help others! :laugh:
Cheers!
Did you know that Tinted Status Bar has a feature called "Notification Color Picker"? It automagically detects app color and let's you set the color per activity or to the whole app.
So you don't need to mess with color codes, color picker apps, screenshots, etc. You just launch the notification color picker and you can configure 20 apps in 60 seconds.
Yes that's what I used to know about the activity names, but that's all it can do, tell activity name, after that you still need screen shot and pick color and manually set that color to the respective activity

I thinks you better install Flat Style Colored Bars, it performs better than TSB
Doesn't work for us who are stuck on Jellybean

Are you kidding? You can add the color directly from the notification, see the attachments.
Add app, add activity and apply color. You are making this way more difficult than it is, man.
OK just tried it, its really amazing and yes it takes much lesser time, I really didn't knew about it, thanks dude!

That's because this module doesn't recognize the second Sim, it was made for single Sim devices in mind, my second Sim doesn't change color too, anyway you can still use gravity box to give it a color of your choice, though it won't change automatically
