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.

I was curious if a fullscreen home screen is possible? Which still included everything on the notification bar. So instead of white or black like alot of themes out there it would be more of the background still including the icons and such.

home++ is fantastic but i think he wants an invisible notification bar with all the icons still there, right?
In which case, people have been trying for ages but i'm pretty sure it can't be done.

Yeah thats what I'm asking. I have a BB Storm 9530 and I was able to make my themes like what Im asking.
People tried to do it before but as soon as you add some transparentcy to the status bar it just shows black in the background. If you 're determined enough, you can colormatch your status bar to the backgound that you use and make it work that way although it sounds like too much work to me.
Good luck.
The main problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn only to the bottom of the status bar.
The second problem with this is that the wallpaper is drawn by the Launcher itself rather than being drawn UNDER the launcher.
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.

[MOD] extended settings
This is extended settings mod for miui 1.7.15
I have tried this on my original droid 1 lol so Im just letting you guys know, it does really work.
CREDITS GO TO ANDY . PLEASE DONATE, THIS IS A TREMENDOUS MOD
[MOD] Extended Settings Menu Options
If like me, you like a clean uncluttered look to your MIUI phone you might like this MOD.
1.7.15 sees a major update to this MOD. Alongside the options to enable you to Hide/Unhide the Status Bar Clock, the Battery Icon the Carrier and the Debugging Icon, you now have the option to specify your own custom carrier text and the date formats you'd like to see on the Notification Drop Down and the lockscreen.
So lets say you want the date to appear on the drop down as "Jul 16, 2011 10:21AM" but don't want a date to appear at all on the locksceen, you'd enter :-
MMM d, yyyy h:mma (as the Notification Format) and leave the lockscreen format blank.
**Please be aware that if you specify an invalid date format the status bar will FC. I only found this out this morning. I'll try to add error checking for the next realease** YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED )

As with all MODS there is no guarantee it'll work with all phones.(I only have a Galaxy S)
so please take a Nandroid backup before applying this.
Hope you like it!!
Install Instructions :-

Go to settings, at the top click "system" then go to date and time settings and you'll see right above use 24 hour format there's another option for carrier and status bar settings. I used it and it works great, other than the signal bars drop to zero even though I have service.

Anytime, glad I could help.
Can you guys confirm the signal bars issue? There was another user on the miui forums that said his signal bars disappeared, as did mine.

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)
Anyone figured out how to get it to show the battery percentage? The ADB command for KitKat doesn't seem to do anything.
Have you tried battery percent for kit kat in play store?

My understanding was that it was essentially a front-end on the adb command, but I'll try it.

You can try This.

Ah, the description for the app points out that the text is white on a white background when the battery is full. I just hadn't waited long enough, it was in fact working.

Nice
Thanks for the app suggestion. Any other apps that can do the same but with colored text instead of white?

I wish this would be built in - show the % inside the icon with it horizontal like HTC sense. Kind of ridiculous to run a widget to show %! Ditto for signal, should be a way to display dBm too!
