I made a simple mode to override 3G, 3G+, 3G LTE, H, H+ icons with 4G LTE Icon
I also attached battery mod with ICS fold effect. the one I saw on virtuous posts are different. (itandy fold effect is different) hope you'll like.
p.s. flash in recovery (no need for backup 100%)
by the way; thank you itandy for your help in the past. you are one of those good guys

I'm not sure if this is related, but I noticed that after I flashed Revolt 1.3, I never see the "LTE" symbol in my notification bar. I'm in an LTE area, so I know it's available--does that mean my phone isn't running LTE anymore or is the symbol just not showing up on this ROM? I apologize in advance if this is a ridiculously misguided question--I'm new here and learning as I go.
By the way, mtmichaelson--I said this before and I'll say it again--awesome ROM! Thanks again for your hard work.

Well I am glad you enjoy! The LTE symbol was replaced with the 4g one. If it shows 4g than you are in an LTE area (that's all Verizon offers for 4g)

I never noticed that and why mt why did you get rid of the LTE? I liked that.
Basically my question is why my Vivid shows 4G in the status bar always? Even if I turn off data, it still shows the 4G icon. I was in a spot yesterday where I definitely had no data and I still had a 4G icon. It never changes from 4G. Ever. There is no way I can always been in an area with 4G coverage.
Anybody else notice this?
you can thank AT&T for meddling with the framework. they like to trick everyone into thinking you have 4G coverage everywhere, even when you dont actually have it.

Damn. That's exactly what I thought but was hoping that wasn't the case. Now, if I'm in an LTE area, will it show it or still just 4G?

It will show "4G LTE"
with the lte written small, just below the G
See, AT&T wants to promote LTE.... but not at the expense of admitting that everything else, is not 4G
No worries, this is something I know ROMs will address.
And no wonder I haven't seen the LTE yet because I'm not in an LTE market. Awesome.
If we do custom icons (such as animated v8) in the UOT kitchen, what icons would be used for 4g and lte?
There are only 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary math, and those who don't.
Never mind. I see they are included in that pack. Never noticed them before.

Here's what I wrote in the Holicakes thread.

4G under the AT&T ROM is used to represent UMTS (3G), HSD/UPA (H) and HSPA+ (H). Thus, you previously could never actually see it bouncing between UMTS and HSPA, which the phone frequently does.
LTE will show up as LTE in the little indicator, if it's available.

AFAIK, there is no unique icon for HSPA+; you've just got to trust in the speed. Also AFAIK, any ROM that displays H+ is true, as I think that HSPA+ is merely a seamless extension of HSD/UPA.
Flashing an international ROM shows just how crap of a job AT&T's "4G" indicator does.

This is exactly what I saw when running Rum Raider. The indicator went from 3G to H+ quite frequently.

Wait, H+ or H? I'm getting H+ speeds, but my phone still shows H. H is all I've seen on any international ROM I've used, both on the Inspire and this.

I thought H+ on Rum Raider but I may be wrong. May have just been H.
So I'm in LA inside where I'm at i get three bars of LTE and full bars of 3G since the 3G is stronger it keeps me in 3G for the most part unless i do a profile update then it puts me at 4G for 5 minutes before kicking me back down. So the question is, is there a way to force LTE?

The bars do not represent EVDO (3G) or LTE (4G), they represent 1X Voice on the HTC One. If you want to know the actual signal strength of your 3G and 4G go to settings/About Phone/Network.
My guess is that the LTE is borderline in the building and therefore it goes back and forth. Where I work I have strong LTE and EVDO but when I'm in the building it will switch to 3G once I start using data like Youtube or something. Once I stop and set the phone down it will reconnect to LTE. If I go towards the outer part of the building I will get a better LTE connection, or if I go outside it is really good. This is due to the poor penetration of the 1900mhz LTE.
The phone will connect to the higher priority signal, first 4G and then 3G.
As said above, it seems like your LTE connection is very weak, or else the phone would stick to that.
Ok so i did *#*#4636#*#* and changed it from CDMA + LTE to LTE, CDMA and it hasn't dropped from 4G

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that disable your ability to receive phone calls/texts?

If you set it to "LTE only" then yes but if you set it to "LTE,CDMA" it will only connect to LTE and 1XRTT and bypasses EVDO. So you phone should stay on 4G a lot more since EVDO is disabled but if LTE drops you will drop to 1X

Correct. Hence CDMA/LTE vs CDMA/EvDO/LTE. You can also do LTE only if you're feeling bold.

Settings->about phone -> status -> mobile network type. Anything other than LTE is not LTE. There are different types of UMTS, I am currently connected to UMTS: 3 which is 3G/3.5G HSDPA service.

The data icon in the status bar will show 4G or 4G LTE when you have service
Contacted AT&T, guess my city isn't LTE capable yet haha...300,000 people and not LTE yet..
Is there a way I can change my data icon to show LTE or 4G all the time instead of H or E. Im running the google edition rom and I don't like seeing H on my phone. I notice on insertcoin roms he gives you the option to choose between at&t, t-mobile and international. With international I get the H and with t-mobile i get the 4g symbol, so is there anyway I can change this using the google edition rom?
Nobody?

I don't think there are themes or tweaks for that yet. The data icon is dependent on your coverage, so it changes from place to place.
you could change to a carrier with better LTE coverage. If your seeing E that means the coverage sucks.

Its weird because when I flash insert coin ROM and choose and different carrier the icon changes. So I was thinking that it's some changes in the system or maybe a radio or something.

You should pick your own carrier's icon for the best results
icons are just cosmetic. the important issue is what technology your modem is talking to the tower with. LTE is ideal, hspa is tolerable and edge is garbage.
A lot of carriers started labling hspa as 4G. AOSP calls lte 4g. The GPE shows LTE and HSPA which is the most accurate. Changing the icons to anything other than an indicator of LTE, Hspa or Edge is just putting lipstick on a pig.

Lol well I just need me some lipstick cause I already know that most carriers dress H+ as 4g just rather have the 4g or LTE icons regardless of what signal I'm receiving.

The icons draw a little differently in 4.4. they moved the up/down triangles so they only show on the quicksettings tiles. You could try tracking down some kind of icon mod zip from 4.3 and give it a whirl but I dunno if it would work.
There's also this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335241
seems promising for the sort of decoration you're wanting.
none of this will make one bit of difference in your connectivity. Same as painting a Honda Ferrari red and sticking a Ferrari logo on it won't make it faster.

In a sense based ROM changing the skuid will give you the changes you're looking for. I don't have any idea what it will do for a GPe ROM, but you could give it a try.
