[METAMORPH] - 3G Round Signal Icon

Found this while surfing over on the Droid forums - searched here and didn't see it, so i'm posting it myself.
ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE ORIGINAL CREATOR! I did not make this, nor do i take any credit myself. I just am cross-posting it here.
Installed just fine on my Galaxy S - note that i have the Bell Vibrant version. Your mileage may vary. The screenshots are from the original thread.
Original thread on Droid Forums

Works good on my HD2 froyostone series V1.
Excellent !

I like this icon but is there a white one or are there some easy steps to editing the icon to be white?

this working on eсlair?

I was trying to create something like this, awesome, will have to try it on my Fascinate! Thanks!

I tried this on my Droid Incredible running Sky Raider 3.3 and no luck. Anyone know how I might get ti to work?

Just tried it On my Captivate running Cog Beta 8 with Froyo and it was a no go.

Giving me some good ideas for the signal bars on the Vibrant!

Got it to work on my Fascinate after a few days of digging. Finally made copy's of the 5 image files and added the zz_ prefix on the file name and presto, works like a charm! Thanks for making this, I absolutely love it!
Here is a screenshot of it in action!

didnt work on my hero running cm6

Didn't work for my Droid Eris.

Xoom Inspired theme--[WIP] UPDATED 3-23-11

Ok here she is after having to start over 2 times...damn DEV are working hard and can't finish before a new rom lol.JK keep up the awesome work guys.I am still learning the theming business so any help would be awesome i'm learning Photoshop on the fly here.Also i wished to change the text to white for visibility issues but like i said still learning. I'm looking for suggestions on changes and any help anyone would like to give me.Ok the thanking part the deskclock meter on top came from a Droid X rom Liberty 1.5 HC <awesome work guys>.
edit - First release (very rough as seen in screenshots also no clock)
edit - Second version is up, and good news i have a Partner GTO777 has taken the time to get things rolling with White text and custom wifi drop downs and a NEW drop down battery (very nice).He's hard at work thinking of new things to do including a possible reboot option.This is still in the works so keep an eye out it's just getting better.
Edit- Had a chance to work on this alot today and it shows in big ways. V3 will be up as soon as me and GTO777 and get back together and put all the adds together. Also am looking for Testers on any/all TNT lite roms <I believe this is able to be applied to them> if you would like to try the latest releace on TNT please PM and i'll give you a link.
edit- version 2.5 is up and looking great. still have those home buttons to look at lol.White text is not in this but working on getting it done.TY and please like always post a respons so others will try it.

Nice, this will give us something to do till we get the real deal: -)

Only thing I'm not fond of is the circle battery, I've never liked the look of them compared to a standard style battery meter.
I know I'm in the minority here, but maybe 2 versions with different battery meters?
Looks good so far though.

Awesome z Thanks... Vegantab has been getting all the theming love... Happy the TNT ers can now get in on things!

Looking really good. May have to try it with adw to get the same number of rows and columns as the xoom.

Hi again guys, glad to see good reviews. My PC motherboard fried today gtlove open towers and orange juice. The good news is I have the zip on my tab, ill be back up and going tomorrow. But for now ill post the zip I have if you guys would like to edit it yourself and share updates here to point this in a good way.also I half agree with the circle battery meter so taking suggestions on a new style please upload some shots. Also if it should go left to right or up and down. I'm not sure right now if I want to keep the bigger battery colors so ideas there will be great. Thanks for the support guys. Also I here their are vegan roms with themes please link some favorites mabey we can blend it in.
Edit - The clock was not added in this version but ill have it up tonight. First version eta is 5 min.

Thanks, yes and alot needs to be done but if we can get help we can compile a nice theme....also would like a more transparent web bar and different buttons so lets get those ideas going.
Edit-Ok guys it's been hell around here and haven't had alot of time between this and the boot animations.I've been tring to add some more or the Xoom look to the theme, starting with the Circle battery it's been replaced with the one from Xoom and the Larger wifi icon is being made now to match the theme (green out blue in ) also need to change the home buttons+back+menu button.i'll be tring to get this up tonight.This release will have the clock in it so look for it. Also can i get an admin to inform me if i can add Swype to this theme it's on mine (can't live without it)? Thanks guys keep an eye on the OP it's going to change.

Looks really good, I am working on something similar. Makes me happy for more themes . The TNT framework has a lot more then most frameworks, maybe work together? PM me.
I have this so far:
No pics sorry, but it has some white text on the drop-downs working on getting the rest. Toasts, pop-ups, and drop-downs have honey border, and.... I think the battery and wifi drop-down match the transparent blue stuff, the battery was annoying.
I need to do the home screen icons, add more white text in the drop-down, and I wanted to reorder the buttons in the bar, also make the drop-down shadows less transparent....

popups
10char

Thanks to both of you... I'll be pulling this when I get I the office this morning to play. Looking forward to it!
(edit) just read the fine print... Question, will it work on the non-meat eaters? (vegaN)
...sent from my ' un-stock' vibrant

thanks if you like it so far You like it even more when we are done with it. As far as the Vegan goes no there is alot different in the Framework that tnt uses sorry.

How about cyanogen? Can I use it on7?

Ok just so i don't have to keep replying this is for TNT roms, It was made for the TTX rom but will most likly work on the TNTL and roms like it. It is too diferent from Vegan and CM7 sorry.

Hey kicker, pm sent ur way

Anymore updates on this project? Everything is looking great. I'm running the latest TnT Lite and will be testing this out shortly.

+1 I am def looking forward to this!

Looks sweet. Thanks.

well guys sorry for the delay was moving to a new house and had no net.
Anyways it seems as tho my partner is MIA lol.and i liked the theme very much but i need white text and like i said i'm learning this so as of right now i think i'm done unless i can find help. Thanks to those of you who tried it out and responded. I'm not out of the game yet just think i'm going to move on to something just not sure what yet.

[Q] Themeing

i mean tutorials are the way a lot of us got going, or really got into it
basically though, just start by using 7zip to take apart the frameworks from another theme and look through the drawable-hdpi or hdpi-4 folders and see the changed images
its a lot to take in though really...not something that can be picked up in a week or something...but dont get discouraged

i don't think you understand the concept of a tutorial

to bo honest i dont think i do...thats why im trying to learn

You really just have to jump in. I use winrar instead of 7zip . But to start, open up a theme that already works for the fascinate ...and just look at the folder tree and understand where everything is ... after that, Start replacing images. XML editing is going to take a tutorial, but there is a lot you can do before you take that step. It takes time ... and patience. Pretty much just jump in .you have an advantage being that this phone is so easy to recover if something goes wrong. It is addictive though ... be warned. The theme I'm working on has consumed my life almost haha.

The point of a tutorial is to show you what to do. So you should give them a shot instead of writing them off.

i did...i read like three to four tutorials but they all start in diff areas of stuff and it just gets to confusing...im trying though...im not just writing it off...i really am

while i *should* update my tutorial to include more of the basic stuff, the reason most of it focuses on the more advanced xml/.9 things is because in december/january that seemed to be the most pressing issue for many.
i was getting dozens of pms a day on androidforums/xda/irc with many of the same questions, and while i was trying to be helpful and respond it was getting to be a bit overwhelming....so i figured id answer the most commonly asked things first and work back from there...but then dl30 dropped, then eb01 and i got tied up by porting the themes/ports i maintained.
now that im working on more detailed themes that takes up most of my android time...but ill see what i can do about updating the tutorial

Thank u man...sorry for being such a noon :/

So is it really hard to combine elements from different themes to make a new theme? There are several different ones that I love parts of, but I would like to be able to pick and choose and piece one together...
Like for instance, I like somebody the dark themes, but I don't always like plain toggle buttons, and I love the stock gingerbread statusbar with the little vertical battery meter that has the percent in it.... some themes I did the transparent pull down, etc....
I'd like to be able to mix n match
How hard is it to do that?

[Q] Chance LTE icon to 4G icon

I would love to do this like you can via xposed on Kitkat.. Many feature packed KK roms is able to do this..
Is it easy to do or?
I really dislike the LTE icon ?
All help is extremely appreciated..

Just change the image in systemui apk. Not difficult to do at all.

Isn't 4G the same as H+ and H is 3G so LTE would be LTE of I'm not mistaken. I'm sure this could be changed easily if you know where to find the time and edit it.

H+ is advertised as 4G but its really 3.5G, its just all weird marketing terms. It is easily changed its in /res/xxhdpi, find _lte and replace it with the one with _4g. Easy to do.

I see, my H+ speeds are generally 20-30mb/s so that's not bad at all but not 4G thank you for clarifying that. Can you change it via a root explorer or do you need to pull apart the whole settingsUI?

Would you mind explaining? Can't find it..

You could create a ZipThemer theme for it if you had the images. Not difficult.
Interestingly my phone displays 4g resources, not LTE.

Don't know how do that..
Mine does show 4G on stock and on some of the custom roms, but not all and since this is the xda forum I thought someone would know how to do this and would be kind enough to tell me

A zipthemer theme replaces resources in your ROM & creates a flashable theme that you install from recovery. Its not difficult to create the theme & I may have time to make it for you in the next day or so.
I would need a copy of your SystemUI.apk though, for the image names.
EDIT: Sorry, actually this won't work, because the icons are in .xml now, not images. If it was images it would be easy.

Thank you for your help and sorry for the late response..
If both 4G and LTE XML's are in the same folder could I just delete the LTE XML??

No, then it would give a error because its trying to find a LTE XML file and its not there.
You're better off just leaving it, its just cosmetics. Not that big of a deal than to go through the hassle.
I'd go look and find it for you but thats only for that particular set up that its not worth it.
