Stock icons
Also, if anyone knows how to replace the crappy carrier 3G/4G icons with stock AOSP ones, that would be greaaatt. Mmmkay.

If it's like the RAZR HD they are just images. Once the new root comes out with system read/write permissions it would be real easy to replace them. You could use a root explorer to unzip the apk and then replace the images then rezip it and rename it back to an apk.

Here is the SystemUI.apk from the Nexus 7 LTE factory image if you don't already have it.

Would you prefer the 4G or LTE icon? Personally, I'd like to see how LTE looks

[MetaMorph] Circle Battery

You can thank stephen730 for me removing all my work. Tired of jackass's

YOU MUST USE METAMORPH TO USE MY FILES. YOU CANNOT FLASH THIS VIA RECOVERY CONSOLE
Here are links for MM:
XML Version (better way to go) - http://www.androlib.com/android.application.stericson-xda-metamorph-ppFw.aspx
THM Version (older way) - http://www.androlib.com/android.application.stericson-xda-metamorph-xnFD.aspx
I made this since so many people requested just the circle battery. Enjoy!
I take no credit for making the circle battery. I only made the MM. If I knew who the OG creator of it was, I would give credit. So if that is you, please let me know and I will add your name to this.
Thanks to J-Woo for testing to make sure this worked and taking the screen shot.
You might have to apply the MM 2-4 times to have everything take effect. Dont know why, but it just does. Known issue.
As always, NAND before doing this as I am not responsible if this messes up your phone. I have included both THM and XML versions.

Thanks for the offer. I got plenty. I just made this so ppl can use it and if they want something different. They can use Kevlar Mash or figure out how to change it themselves.
Is it possible for you to make something like this for each aspect of your other theme? It won't work on my Evil Eris (not a spring port .) This battery did work with it though.

You mean, make each icon change, one by one? If so, no, but by all means, you can do it. I only made this as I saw so many requests for it and only took 5mins to do it. There are over 100 changes in Kevlar Mash.
I dont know why it wouldnt work on EE. File names should be the same. I have never used EE so I have not looked into the png naming inside the framework apk. Sorry.
Worked great on CELB 2.7. Thank you very much.
I flashed this first, then i flashed the Black Bar MM, worked perfect.
awesome!! thanks!!!
Is there anywhere I can still pick up this battery?

How to get rid of droid in-call picture

Ok. I have tweaked the living heck out of my new droid phone, with much frustration and glee . One thing I'd REALLY like to change is this goofy green droid picture/art that pops up when you're on a call. Please. Please tell me there is a way (I am rooted and everything) to remove this, or install a dialer that'll cover it up. Thanks a lot.
That only happens if u don't have a contact photo saved..I think

Well, if you have Facebook, it's super easy. SNS syncing takes care of that, and will attempt to make connections by name similarity, identical email addresses or mutually supplied phone numbers.
Also, if your contacts have a Google profile that you've linked to in your email contacts, that'll do the trick.

Personally the only time that happens is wrong number calls.. other than that i usually have pics for all my contacts ha but if you could change default pic that would be cool
one other thing... not sure if new to coming to an android phone but droid and android are two separate things Droid is a phone Android is an operating system Droid is made by Motorola sorry just bugs me when people say "oh nice droid!"... i feel like im doing at least a little something when telling people this
Are these the images you're talking about?

If so, you'll wanna replace these images in Phone.apk -

I'm curious as to what you are wanting to put in the place of the Android pics

[Q] Gravity Box KK problem

I recently rooted, now unrooted, my phone and went to get gravity box to customize my stoxk ROM. After doing everything with the framework and reboots, I went to change some settings around. After 20 mins or so I got fed up with it b/c only a handful of stuff would work. Wanted to know if this is a common problem, if I missed a step, and how can I fix this.
Pretty simple, won't work as advertised if you're not rooted, or an I missing something?

Not everything will work because most modules are aimed specifically for AOSP ROM's. Meaning pure Vanilla like the Nexus phones have. So naturally not everything will work on other phones because the framework is different.
You have to download more specific modules to have a higher chance of stuff working like G2 Xposed or G2 Settings. Even then everything will not work as it's mainly made for the G2.
Is there anything good for the flex? I have the G2 xposed and nothing is cool really.
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Free mobile app
I use mainly G2 Settings to have some statusbar tweaks such as centered clock and hide various icons.
I also use Blurred System UI for a nice notification pull down.

Change DPI of an app

Hey guys, I am in need of changing the DPI of a single app. I am running Terminus with a screen DPI of 532. My problem is one app gets distorted. See the screenshot. Is there a way I change the one app? I know there was when I was running PACman rom on my sgs3 (it was built into the rom).
Thanks in advance.

There is probably a module available in Xposed that does what you're asking for.

I had a feeling someone was gonna say that. The problem is, most roms and kernels frown upon the use of it. So I am trying to stay away from Xposed. Ran it on my s3, so I know about it...... :-/

Ya, I am sure I can still use it, and while I was installing the .arm file for Xposed, I thought about using chrome and creating a link, which is basically why that app does. It just makes it easier to log in while driving (at red lights of course!).

Of course I'm rooted. I'm running a custom ROM, custom kernel, etc. No Xposed though. Do I need to download a weather provider from the play store for it to work? Does it basically read whatever your weather provider informs you?
