Hey! Just flashed back to SkyRaider after giving the Desire Z ROM a go, and one little thing I really liked about it was the icon for 3G and 1X in the notification bar. Any way to put that into a standard Sense rom? Thanks!
The icons should be in framework-res.apk like they are in everything else.
I'll take a look and see what i can do.
EDIT: These particular icons are hiding in com.htc.resources.apk
This is my first MetaMorph theme, but it looks like it should work. Use at your own risk though. If anyone more experienced would like to tell me if this is right or not, I'd appreciate it.
anyone have a screenshot of what they look like
They're actually the stock Android icons. I don't know why, but HTC decided to stop using their custom ones.

Okay, this may or may not be in the correct forum, but it's a question. I think the icons are horribly ugly, especially the camera. I know it's not quite rooted yet and it's not super high up on everyone's list, but would anyone be able to help me out with getting better looking stock Android 2.1 icons on there or maybe make an icon pack that replaces the ones on there with 2.1 stock icons? Thanks in advance.

BetterCut?
I tried Better Cut with mine and the stock 2.0 icon pack. The icons are low res and look kind of bad on the large Evo screen.
With the size of the Evo screen you will really want to get More Icons. Trust me on this, it is perfect for this phone.
I've never heard of BetterCut, but it seems like it won't work. My girlfriend has a Nexus and those icons are very classy and would work very well with the Evo, I think. And I just want to replace them completely, not have extra.
I'm currently running SkyRaider's 3.1 Sense rom on my Incredible but im having issues with random reboots, etc. I tired Virtuous 2.7 rom and its ridiculously smooth. The only thing that really bugs me about that rom is the notification bar. I hate the stock one now that ive gotten so used to the transparency. I used the Incredible Revolution theme and the notification bar was fine but i wasnt really feeling the whole red colored theme. If someone can help me out with making a zip file for a transparent notification bar like the one in SkyRaiders rom i will definitely consider buying you a beer. =P haha

if youre talking about the actual bar itself and not the notification area background, i've already done it. search dude, it helps.

im talking aboout the pull down menu that has the notifications. ive only found one with a 50% shade.
I'm also searching for this.
I would also like an easy way to modify the transparency on the notifications pull down. I haven't found an easy way yet (other than begging a dev to do it )
There is a post somewhere with a flashable file for this
what roms are you guys running? i figured out how to do it.
skyraider 3.3.2 - have you figured out how to change the color yet?
please tell how to do transparent! the only flashable zip of it i could find only works with the stock sense launcher and still didnt work too well
Sorry if this is a repeat, but I've searched, but really haven't been able to find an answer on this... is it possible to get just a simple, black notification bar using a rooted, stock G2 rom?
I don't want to apply a theme to everything, don't want to fiddle with what isn't broken (too much). Not really interested in running a CM rom at this point, just want to have a nice dark colored notification bar that doesn't look god awful with the rest of my screen.
If it's just not doable, any possibility it might be an option in 2.3?

You have to be using a de-odexed stock rom in order to apply black notification bar. also, 2.3 will have black bar as stock but we dont know if tmobile will push out a gingerbread update for the G2 quite yet. I'd say yes but you might have to wait 6 months knowing tmobile. we will probably have a port way sooner than that though.
Thanks. I'll go ahead and try the deodexed rom and go from there I gues.
Ok, so, I'm pretty sure its not the same on every ROM, but I just simply want to be able to change the "3G" icon on the Desire Z roms or Skyraider(sense)
On the Incredible S rom, the icon would be "EvDo" and, I know it sounds stupid, but I really really prefer that over just saying plain ole 3G, how do I go about changing that on other ROMs?

go into the com.htc.resources.apk located in system/app/framework. The icons are located in drawable-hdpi or drawable-hdpiv4 depending on which rom you are on.
Use this thread as a guideline. Worked for me.

When flashing the aosp icons, are they the same height as the original Samsung ones? In pictures sometime they seem a little smaller.. and I'm getting a little bored now with Samsung icons.. just wanted something new now. I don't like custom roms, I like something that works and never updates every week or so. Which is dumb, if you're gonna update again soon, why update.. have it all in one. Anyways, I like the green so that's why I want to change icons now but hesitant and also, would I have the clock back if I flash the icons? Because I removed the clock..

You could always make a nandroid backup and flash the icons. If you don't like them, you can restore your backup and later delete it. I'm not so sure about having the clock back although I don't think you would since your just flashing the icons.

I'm looking for a flashable AOSP icon package myself. Would you be kind enough to share a link to that?
