[Q] Chance LTE icon to 4G icon - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would love to do this like you can via xposed on Kitkat.. Many feature packed KK roms is able to do this..
Is it easy to do or?
I really dislike the LTE icon ?
All help is extremely appreciated..

Just change the image in systemui apk. Not difficult to do at all.

Isn't 4G the same as H+ and H is 3G so LTE would be LTE of I'm not mistaken. I'm sure this could be changed easily if you know where to find the time and edit it.

H+ is advertised as 4G but its really 3.5G, its just all weird marketing terms. It is easily changed its in /res/xxhdpi, find _lte and replace it with the one with _4g. Easy to do.

I see, my H+ speeds are generally 20-30mb/s so that's not bad at all but not 4G thank you for clarifying that. Can you change it via a root explorer or do you need to pull apart the whole settingsUI?

Would you mind explaining? Can't find it..

You could create a ZipThemer theme for it if you had the images. Not difficult.
Interestingly my phone displays 4g resources, not LTE.

Don't know how do that..
Mine does show 4G on stock and on some of the custom roms, but not all and since this is the xda forum I thought someone would know how to do this and would be kind enough to tell me

A zipthemer theme replaces resources in your ROM & creates a flashable theme that you install from recovery. Its not difficult to create the theme & I may have time to make it for you in the next day or so.
I would need a copy of your SystemUI.apk though, for the image names.
EDIT: Sorry, actually this won't work, because the icons are in .xml now, not images. If it was images it would be easy.

Thank you for your help and sorry for the late response..
If both 4G and LTE XML's are in the same folder could I just delete the LTE XML??

No, then it would give a error because its trying to find a LTE XML file and its not there.
You're better off just leaving it, its just cosmetics. Not that big of a deal than to go through the hassle.
I'd go look and find it for you but thats only for that particular set up that its not worth it.

ADW w/o app drawer icon

I have been trying to find a version of adw with now app drawer icon. I like the way the screen looks nice and clean with nothing on it. anyways I have found a cpl versions but cant get them to install through package installer, adb, or droid explorer. GRRRR whatever. Can someone edit the new version of adw with no app drawer icon for me pretty please with sugar on top. I tried to edit the .png and all that stuff but no luck. ( I suck). thanks anyonw who is willing to help me out on this
You didn't mention which version you needed. So, I made all three. I edited out the app drawer icon, just like you said. Anywho, if this isn't what you're looking for, let me know.

Not a problem. I made every portrait and landscape MDPI and HDPI app drawer icon transparent. So, the files are still there. The specific files are "ic_tray_expand.png", "ic_tray_expand_pressed.png", and "ic_tray_expand_selected.png" Enjoy.

Hi there. First of all, I'd like to thank you again for providing the apk without the icon.
That said, and hoping I'm not asking too much, I wonder if you could do the same with the latest ADW version, since the previous is FC'ing a lot. I'd do it myself, but I'm no developer, just a noob scared of coding. lol
Thanks again

[Q] Tailoring a theme

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985053
Would it be possible to take the them from this and put it on Serendipity?
If so could someone give me the easiest way of doing this?
Edit: I know how to move over images and stuff. but i'm not quite sure how to edit xmls and any other stuff like .jar files.
i can probably port most of it over for ya. what serendipity are you running?
I'm running 6.2 right now. I'm pretty sure if you told me what you did I could probably figure out how to do it, and maintain it from version to version.
I would have used the theme porter but the theme i want is actually the leaked Gingerbread ROM from Samsung. So everything would have to be done manually.
so do you just want it took look like that theme? Because you could just use 7zip to transfer all the png's to the framework and twframework

That I know how to do but there are other things like the status bar and dropdown that are controlled by XML and .jar, and my knowledge doesn't go that far.
the status bar and dropdown are in both the tw and framework.res files bud. You're just talking about the icons and bottom bar and all that right???
is this something that you are trying to change? because all of that is in tw and framework.res

That would be great. If you come across something that is a little more in depth, make note of it so I can learn how to do it myself.
ya no problem man. I'm not running serendipity myself because i'm stuck on phoenix. but i'm going to just change a few things a little at a time to ensure no bootloops for ya and send them to you. just fill me in on how there working out when you get them.

I've got a revert to stock CWM zip ready to go.
hopefully this willl be what you were looking for. It's hard to know unless i'm actually running the rom. not in the mood for flashing today for once otherwise i would. try these out and let me know if they're what you want. use root explorer and drop the in system/framework
Not sure if i changed the notification text color. oh yeah! i didn't change the battery icons yet because the one from serendipity it totally different form the bezke theme but i'm working on it as i type this.
The dropdown still looks the same from when I tried.

alright bro. I think I've figured out why the words aren't in there. extremekilla filled me in. mikeymike took the text from the pulldown icons out of the twframework. the text is located in the resources.arsc file. I'm working on getting them put back in for ya. should only take a little bit.

See thats what kinda stuff I was talking about not being able to do. I know that you have to decompile the APK to get to the XMLs in resourses.arsc and then recompile it.
exactly. but im thinking if one of his previous roms had the text that maybe it could be as easy as just switching the two. im confirming that right now with someone who knows all about this.

[Q] Is there a way I can get my notifications to be Black instead of that dull gray?

That's really all that I want, I don't really care about an entire theme.
Is there an easy way to get notifications like these, or is there a theme that is already like this that I can flash?
Thanks!
I'm working on one for you, been awhile since I've done this though so no promises.
~~EDIT~~ I'm having a lot of trouble finding the correct file to replace. As I said its been months and file names seem to have changed. I have one more idea and after that I'm tapped out.
~~EDIT 2~~
Ya man, can't find the right file. Sorry. If you can get someone to tell you what file in systemui.apk needs to be replaced I can tell you how.

Have you checked out the UOT Kitchen over in the Android themes section of there forums? You can do alot of different things. Search for UOT Kitchen. I would enter the link, but I'm on my phone.
Edit: Here is the link for the UOT Kitchen : Uot
Go to that link, click Kitchen, Pick the choices of what you would like modded, when you are finished, click the File Upload tab, where it says Select your rom from the kitchen list choose system files. Enter you framework and system.ui where it asks you to. When your done go to summary, and and choose Submit files to kitchen and go to files pickup area. Anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and your flashable zip will pop up. Put on your sd card and flash. It sounds complicated, but after you do it once or twice its really cool.
Hopefully that helps a little. If not, sorry I wasted your time. Have a good night.

Are you referring to the notification bar where the clock and battery icons are? If so, its the statusbar_background.png in the Systemui.apk
Sent from my super sleek NS4G, powered by TeamNekkid.
If your referring to the notifications in the statusbar you can theme it easily with ZipThemer
Create a folder structure like so
Mms>res>drawable-hdpi
In the drawable-hdpi folder put the icons you want. The names ( I thik) are stat_notify_sms and stat_notify_mms. A good size is 38x38 pixels
Then go back to the main Mms folder and create a ZipThemer xml with the path set to Mms.apk
Edit: I made a ZipThemer xml and file structure for you. Just extract the zip, goto Mms> res> drawable-hdpi and put those two images in there then apply with ZipThemer
Remember if you use ZipThemer for the first time, goto the apps settings and select update edify
Here's the zip I made

Holy shiet, didn't expect people to actually reply with useful feedback! Thanks to everyone who took time to do so.
What I'm talking about are the notifications you see once you pull the notification bar down.
I will try everything that was recommended and give everyone a proper reply by the end of this week, promise. I just have to do a ton of **** these next few days for my midterms, but the weekend is almost here, so don't fret!
Once again, thank you for all your suggestions!

Hey everyone,
first off, my apologies for replying so late. I've been busy with some ****, but finally got around to flashing the Theme I made in the UOT Kitchen.
It's looking pretty damn good to me. I was able to make the notifications black, and changed the notification bar itself a bit as well. I'm very pleased with the look so far, but as was stated in this thread, the whole process was extremely easy. Maybe the hardest part was waiting for the damn thing to be ready for download...lol
I'd post some screenshots of the notification bar, but with ShootMe not working anymore and since the Screenshot system that's built into CM exits out of the notification bar whenever I want to use it, I won't be able to provide you guys with any for now.
If anyone wants to try out the theme, I've attempted to attach it to this post.
Thank you all for your help!
There is a slight delay from the time you tap screenshot to the time it actually takes it.

iPhone status bar theme MIUI

Hey!
Can somebody make a theme for MIUI status bar like iPhones one (screenshot) ?
The point is to make it a little bit thinner than normal MIUI.
Note: I want it for MIUI Gingerbread 'cause it's easier than MIUI v4, but if you want it for MIUI v4 ...
Thanks!!
Every time i look at a picture of an iphone i want one so badly
Me too, but my phone looks now like an iPhone with MIUI + Ultimate iPhone theme.
Now I'm tryin to make it perfect
ugh. just go buy one.
If you pay for it then okay!
In Europe it's expensive my dear friend!

i guess you can do it by editing systemui.apk's layout xml files manually
your gonna mess up alot of things by editing status bar to be thinner.
If you do it, the time will have to be changed to be smaller and fit, then it will have to be modded again so miui can change where it's location is. All this but for pretty much every notification you'll ever get. all the icons are going to have to be smaller than before, and it may not even fit on the status bar.
Just use a lower dpi, im on 200 and it looks really good.
Changing DPI, the icons remain at the same dimension and the labels are smaller and they come on the icons..

The battery and signal are a cluster. I'm not to fimiliar with MIUI but I'm guessing it follows the same principle. Only the battery text can be moved to the right on its own. I may be wrong but that's how it was when I was running CM7.

Hi guys,
It looks absolutely awesome!!!!
Is it still a work in progress? or is it finished and the full thing is in a different thread?

you could use custom status bar + in the play store . I use it all the time

Replacing Status Bar icon

Alright, I now see the systemui.apk but too bad the instructions I saw did not apply to what I wanted. What I want is to replace the signal bars into something much more identifiable, like the Iphone dot signals. However it seems that there is much more to do than what I expected. Can somebody assist me in this case? Thanks!

Instead of spending that much time troubling yourself with that apk, you can use the Flat Style Bar app from HERE. Note that it requires Xposed to be installed.
