Hi all
I remember seeing a while back a video of a new rom in which the user had a Data Monitoring tool displayed in the status bar. It showed Data usage in figures and was not just an icon. Anyone able to offer any insight as to what app this might be or even if there are any alternatives?
Cheers
try this...

unfortunately that one is just a widget one, i already have that one but wanted one that displayed in realtime on the status bar. Gonna have to find the rom i was talking about and then see if there is any clue in there
EDIT - found it, this is the video:

and it is at about 4:18 into it. He pulls the status bar down and it displays Network:None before displaying the upload and download amounts when he connects via wifi.

hello there, i see that home++ app is really nice and all and it removes the status bar(notification bar)... and it does it only in home screen but once a app is open it shows again. is there a way to just disable it completely?
No, and it would be a really stupid thing to do since it means that you will have no status bar or access to notification area.
It is actually just a terrible idea for the home application to obscure it.
Also should be considered EXTREMELY RUDE for an application to obscure it without a very legitimate reason for doing so -- i.e. movie player or 3d game.
you can just make it transparent to give the "look of a bigger area... I do this with my launcher tab... never tried with the status bar.... hmmm..
Hey, I'm looking for a Circle Battery Icon that can Replace the stock Battery Icon, is this possible without Root?
Here are some Pics:
The First is one I ran across in the App Store, to Give an Example of What I am Talking About. (I don't think this app is the the Icon, but you can see in the pick that this guys Original Icon has been Replaced, with a Circle Battery)
The Second is What I have Downloaded from the App store (Called: Battery Status Bar), which Gives me a Circle Battery Icon, but without Replacing the Original Icon.
Thanks
Nope, not possible without root. Actually you probably need more than just root as well. I don't think you can change anything like that without flashing something through CWM or some other recovery. That is the only way I have done it in the past.
Alright, thanks for the reply.
Anyone know of any digital battery icons that we can just add to the status bar?
your best bet is to check the app market for battery widgets some will show on your notification bar jus look at the pics
you can retheme sense using http://uot.dakra.lt/
you must be rooted and have CWM installed however, it works wonderfully.
You must have root to modify this. It requires you to mount /system/ to edit SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk (and sometimes com.htc.resources.apk). Any apps you find for non rooted devices will only add to the notification bar, not replace the original icon.

I have "Battery Circle", from the market, and i think that it's what you're looking for. No root involved.
Hi, i just change my battery icons on my sgs but theres a little problem... There's a pictures for every percentage but it only show me every 10% (100%-90%-80%...). Is there a little files that i can change to be able to see every percentage or i need to install a theme or something else then i will be able to update with the icons I want?
Thanks
I use https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sYXJyeXZncy5iYXR0ZXJ5Il0. for that purpose. It's one more incon in the notification bar but it gets the job done without the need of rooting the phone.

is there any battery mod for ics?????
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 just updated to the newest T-Mobile rom and I have a new notification icon that I have never seen before. I am trying to figure out what it is for and was unable to find it when searching google. It looks like a circle that has been cut and slightly offset. http://forum.xda-developers.com/picture.php?albumid=13794&pictureid=54667. Thanks for any help with this.
