Does anyone in this community know of a mod/ and or launcher that switches the boring "H+" to a "4g". I used search, but the mods that I have found seem to be for different roms, unless they are universal towards any rom? I'd like to switch it, if it is possible. I also understand the LG status bar is probably complex since the gingerbread update now has it changing from green to white.. any help/comments would be appreciated.:thumbup:

Don't think there is anyway to change from H+ to 4G. As I believe those require different hardware... Not software.

Incorrect. It's software.
Framework files.
If anyone can get the files that display the 4G, I can change it.

So you could 'mod' the framework files to access a 4G network instead of the H+ network?
Figured it worked like 3G. My bad.
Oh wait, nevermind. I misread the OP. He wants to change the H+ icon to a 4G icon. Just change the icons. That's the way it is with ThrillSeeker. It is H+, however it says 4G instead.
I have them in one of my themes. I forget which one... I will look...

The only way im thinking of to change the icon, is with an app like Rom toolbox Pro.. I'm sure theres a more complex way, via my desktop..?

Rom toolbox is great I've used it steady for well over a year..it will change almost any icon,boot animation and others...
For me with the thrill the only thing I could change with out really messing up my phone was the fonts and select boot animations...everything else I tried messed with the phone and wouldn't even boot after reboot causing me to have to flash a backup through cwm.

I always change fonts via rom toolbox. I must have tried 10 by now. (No bugs yet, but I always look for smaller fonts and I'm digging the Sony font)

lol i get my phone tomorrow so im trying to get on top of things
thanks for the response
np. Just tried porting a framework file also but the data/signal bar didnt work out right. Renamed images i am thinking.
The Safari HD one worked fine - 4G icon as well.
Yes, they all seem to work and 4 icons as well
I'm using Revolution and it works fine. Even the 4G icon does. I flashed a few before deciding on it so I know a few other work too.
Works very nicely.
I've tried several and they work great.
All of them work. As in, they just change the skin just like your stock skins.

im trying to make a theme and can't seem to change the signal bars icons. everything else in the theme works just fine. i can change all the other notification icons. but when i change the icons for the signal bars, it for some reason doesn't do anything. every time i reboot the phone it goes back to the stock signal bars. any ideas? also im wondering if you know how to/where to go to remove the recently used apps from the notification bar???
thanks!
any help would be appreciated.
How are you trying to change them?
They are located in your frameworks files.
They are named:

Negative, they are in com.htc.resources and the signal bars are cdma_sys_4signal and the data icons are cdma_sys_data and just search lte to find the lte icons in the same folder.
you need to change them in com.htc.resources.apk
they are :cdma_sys_4signal_X (x being 0-4)

HEH mob just beat me to it...

update: i FINALLY got it to work! hahaha that was so frustrating! now i just need a fix for the recently used apps and ill be good. =) and I found an update.zip for getting rid of the recently used apps. Getting close on this theme. Thinking of calling it thunder-lime...... Unless I can think of something better.

yeah that's me. =) i got it all figured out. thanks so much for the help! this theme is coming along really nicely if i dont say so myself. =)
I was trying to look for another thread to tag this onto but couldn't find one that exactly matched my posting. Mods, if this needs to be moved, please feel free to do so.
This said and with a little bit of Photoshop, I've created new data (4G LTE, 4G, 3G) and signal bar icons to add a little bit of color to the top taskbar.
These icons are the ones from AT&T but should work for most ICS 4.0.3 (3.26.502.5x) ROM’s. Don’t forget to backup just in case. Flash in CWM.
If you like it, hit "Thanks".
Edit: By the way, don't forget to backup just in case. This was built off AT&T ICS 4.0.3 so if you have mods such as EQS, recent apps, etc., they will likely get overwritten. Many of these icons are embedded in the same files as the mods.
Wow that looks awesome... downloading now

Just a heads up, flashing this mod breaks the EQS mod. A simple reflash of EQS brings it back but no more colorful signal icons.

clickclick has PMs regarding this... with alternatives... fyi for anyone else. this will break EQS.. currently. happy to help if needed
Hey guys,
If anyone needs additional icons created or tweaked, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I cannot promise anything but I do enjoy this type of stuff so long as people appreciate it.
Regarding EQS, it's true that this theme will overwrite the EQS settings. Between Homeslice and I, we'll come up with some alternatives.
Give us a little time to work this one out.
Edit: Attached is GSLEON3 EQS V1 themed with my icons. Credit goes to GSLEON3 for his rendition of EQS. In fact, the CWM zip script and text is even the exact same one from GSLEON3. I only added the graphics.

SG,
Did you want EQS or non-EQS with the Verizon LTE icons? I used them before AT&T had their LTE but the Verizon ones aren't as colorful. In any case, I'll see what I can do.

Interesting. I gave it another go with the same file I downloaded and it worked like a charm that time. Very clean design.
Personally I would like to see a blue design. But I think this is great. Great job, click. And by the way, I'm not sure what the EQS is.

Glad it worked out. I think the 3rd time is a charm but if you got it just after the 2nd, that's even better. By the way, EQS is Extended Quick Settings, which when flashed overwrites the data icons. I also contemplated a blue theme for the signal bars but haven't decided to theme that one yet. The blue theme idea came up after AT&T released their LTE logo, which is based upon blue and orange. Maybe down the road I'll put something together in blue at which point, I'll let folks know.
Nothing special here, just a couple of apks to get us closer to the correct KitKat look.
There is an updated MotLauncher2.apk that has the transparent status bar enabled. In addition, it was modified to remove the dock divider, and use the KitKat apps icon. Also, a 5th icon row was added, but over(under)laps the QSB making it unusable. I only made the change to fix the uneven spacing of the stock 4 row launcher.
There is also an updated SystemUI.apk that replaces the awful signal icons VZW stuffs down our throats with the stock icons from KitKat. All of the other status bar changes were accomplished with Xposed and GravityBox. It should be noted, stock only uses a 4 bar signal, so technically I cheated and used the 4bar for both level 4 and 5.
I am not responsible if you can't follow instructions and brick or otherwise render your phone inoperable!
You must be rooted and on KitKat.
How to install:
Download files
Reboot into Safestrap
Make a backup (just in case)
Select Mount and check System
Open a command prompt (terminal) and navigate to location of downloaded files
Code:
adb shell
rm /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.apk
rm /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.odex
rm /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
rm /system/priv-app/SystemUI.odex
adb push MotLauncher2.apk /system/priv-app
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/priv-app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/priv-app/MotLauncher2.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/priv-app/SystemUI.apk
Reboot
This was something I did for myself. I will not be making any other modifications or make any custom versions of these so please don't ask. I will attempt to assist anyone having trouble getting it on their system, but it's pretty straight forward and I'm not in the habit of hand-holding.
Enjoy!

Can I ask what mods you did to SystemUI to get the AOSP look? I want to do my own mod, but changing the same bools.xml values as I've been doing for the Moto X hasn't worked out completely, and still left me with the ugly huge space next to the signal bars. Also, did you find what makes the icons continue to turn blue and show activity arrows like on JB? Thanks!
Replaced all the drawables with the stock ones from kitkat. The vzw versions are wider, which is why you get the ugly gap.
As far as them turning blue, that is gone from kitkat, but if you use the JB icons, you can emulate the functionality. To make it "really" work like JB, you'd have to rewrite the network controller classes. They were heavily modified for the vzw icons to work.

Hello,
here i present you the moto x 4.4 white status bar for droid maxx, ideal to use with gravitybox to get the whitish kitkat look.
Obviously Root is required.
Simply put The file in System/Priv-app.
backup the original file just in case you dont like it.
and restart the phone.
These icons ARE NOT VERIZON UGLY 4G/3G Icons.
This file doesnt change Clock and Battery color, thats why you need gravity box.
if this was useful to you press thanks!
Can't you just adjust the colors to white in GravityBox? What is different with this? Just curious.

Its not the same as that because he only changed a few icons or the most used ones, like 3g, 4g and lte, but other than that it shows default blue icons, this one has all the icons from the white kitkat, as its extracted and pasted on the systemui.
