for some reason, i have two icons at at the top. both show my connection (i.e. 3G) except one has the batter status below it and the other is just white with the letters in it. any idea on how to get rid of the plain one? when i click it, it leads me to the connections no settings to remove it from the task bar tho. thanks

Well, one is there to tell you which services are available, I believe (the one above the signal strength bar), and one is there to tell you which service you are connected to (the white letters). I think

I have tried different roms. The network icon from the upper bar is a little bit different from the original one. Some times it is ok, but most of the time, the H icon looks like strange. Does anyone know the possible reason? the attachment is the home screen from my HD which shows the strange network H icon.
That is the dll file which holds the icons of task bar is changed. You can find the standard one and replcae it to the current one or find better ones too.

I have tried both dutty's and L26's roms. Both of them use the same icon. Why do they change the icon? And actually sometimes the icon became to normal. is the dll file is changed when sometimes it changed back??
I am using CM7, and in the notification bar where it shows the time, signal strength, battery, etc... Sometimes the phone signal (the bars) and internet connection status shows up in the color green. Other times it shows up in the color white. What do the colors mean, and why the difference??? Thanks...
Green means you're connected to Google or something. Mainly I think they're there to confuse people. If you install a theme without those icons you don't see that.
~maybe I set it too high...
If it was the theme... Then why would it change between white and green?? The theme has not changed, but the color of the signal and internet status have.. ??? Thanks.
Right..I'm not saying it's because of your theme. When it's green your connected to Google. When it's white you're not. IF you install a custom theme many will not have that. Some will leave that working the same but use different colors.

What do you mean by "connected to google"? Syncing with google perhaps?
Most likely Google Talk's servers. I believe signing into, or having the google talk app is still required to access the Android Market. Haven't heard anything about that lately though.

I got the LG Optimus 2X. I notice, that normally when I use data on my phone, the 3G/E/WIFI icon in the notification/status bar is green. But sometimes, and usually when I launch the Foursquare app., the icons turn white instead and I have problems getting data.
Is this a problem? Or what do the change in colours means?
Searching the forums, I found this in another context, but can't verify it anywhere:
The data/wifi/signal colours in the status bar are meant to be only cyan/green/theme colour when you are connected to the google servers, otherwise they are white. It is a feature of stock gingerbread.

That's my experience as well. Okay, thanks for your reply.
Hi there!
I've been using Ginger DX for a couple days now and I noticed that sometimes the icons on the status/notification bar have a green color, mostly when there is a icon that is active and changing like the data traffic icon, the wifi icon... is it normal? Is there a way to set the green color (or any other color) forever, without needing these active icons?
Thanks in advance!
The green color of the [WiFi / 3G / GSM Radio] icons indicate that your phone has sucessfully connected with Google's servers.
If they are just "grey" it means you are either offline or, in case WiFi and/or 3G is enabled, your phone is not connected to any Google account (read: you didn't setup your phone to sync with Google or you turned off background data sync altogether).
Got it! Thanks for the quick and clear answer...
You're welcome.
Note that, if the X8 will ever get a fully working Ice Cream Sandwich ROM, the color of the icons changed to blue.
Hello again.
Is there a way to change these colors?

There is ... it is called "edit the framework". That's a task you most likely don't want to tackle as you would mess around with a system component, and every mistake could lead to unforeseeable problems.
If you feel brave enough search the forums - there are several threads around about this topic (start with a search for "change battery icon" and go from there)
I have several status bar icons (not notifcation icons) that I want always visible, but after a couple, they just turn into one dot and I cant see them unless I swipe down the notification bar. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I'm rooted on LineageOS with Magisk 22.1, but had the same problem on stock. Thanks

I've never seen that. Can you give a screenshot of just before it changes and after?
The dot appears when you have enough notification icons, that can't be all shown at the same time, kinda like a "there's more" indicator.
Sadly the space for notifications is limited to just a few. No way to fix that afaik.

This will install an app called "Rom Control". Swipe from left to open menu, go to "Miscellaneous" and there is an option called "Show more notification icons". I haven't tried it but this may be what you're looking for.
You guys, he said statusbar icons, not notification icons. To me that means the system icons on the right side.

Yes exactly, I tried that recommendation and it not only didn't work, but after a while it stopped showing my lte signal and moved battery percent to left of battery instead of where I had it on the right, like it randomly switched to demo mode.
I'm fine with the notification icons merging, but not my system icons.

Rom control is for stock, I believe.
I've never seen that many system icons. I might be able to help but I don't know I could even manage to get too many. How many icons before it goes to a dot? 6, 7?
Can you give me a screenshot?

Do you really need all of those system icons? If not, there's an app that you can use to remove some of them with.

I use it to hide the headphones icon (I can see the wire coming out of my phone I'm looking at it right now and I can hear the music coming from it) and also the alarm clock icon that is there even on weekends when I don't have alarms set. I know I have 3 alarms set for weekdays. I've had them for years. I don't need you to remind me.

I have clock as military time, battery percentage shown, LTE bars and icon, and it only takes 2 more for it to merge. And of course I know I can hide system icons? I want them. That's the problem. Android doesn't but I do.

Here is the most I could get. I put my clock on the right. How can I get more?

There's probably no way to do it.
Let the notifications fill until you get a dot there.
That blank space is where sensors are.
