I've been using Z roms since the beginning, and now I am on Wes's. I've tried theming the statusbar and everything went well...except for 3g icons. 1x icons were themed, but for some reason 3g isn't changing. I went the extra mile and tried decompiling, changing icons, and recompiling to see if that works. The only thing that did was make 3g disappear completely lol. Has anyone here been able to change their 3g icons on a Z rom?

I use to have a flashable zip that flashed really nice looking circle icons for battery and signal and even wifi.
Since losing them and moving to a different rom cm6 nightlys
I can only find the super circle battery mod.
But i cannot find the signal ones.
I dont want to flash a whole theme because they all look horrible. I would just like the battery and signal circle icons.
Anyone know if this is still being worked on, or was this done once and forgotten?
I have tried searching but just come up with the super circle battery mod.
this is what you found right? not sure about the signal icons, i skipped over those pages on the Kitchen website.

yea found these, im using the battery. looks fabulous.
But still no circle icons for wifi and signal.
all in all it just looked really clean.
I think i have the old flashable file but it only worked with cm6 and not the nightlys.
Thanks for your help tho
I have searched everywhere trying to find a way to change the signal bars. I want either the four bars like the dinc or the five bars that show up before they chnge to six. I tried metamorph but it wasn't working right for me. i just really hate the six bar look. I'm currently on mikfroyo 4.3 and really like everything about the rom and only want to change the signal bars everything else is perfect.
Try CM7? I am running it and I have a 4 bar signal icon...

You'll have to edit some PNGs in your framework. Although its not really 4 bars, it will just appear that way.
You can find the zip of your rom that you flashed, mikfroyo. Open it with WinRAR, or something similiar. Look in /system/framework/ for com.htc.resources.apk. Extract that to somewhere you will remember. Then open up that framework file with the same program you used above and look for drawable-hdpi. Look for the cmda radio signal pngs and swap in the ones you want. If you want to only use 4, then you can use the same signal for a few. Then put that drawable-hdpi folder back in the /system/framework directory from your ..resources.apk. This will overwrite the old one. Then push it with ADB. If you're not familiar there are a bunch of guides on xda here.
I have seen a couple themes (one of which I made a while back) for sense using the gingerbread status bar icons and those themes usually do the edit mentioned above to make it appear as 4 bars even though it is reporting more. I can easily whip this up for you if you need help, I just need to know exactly which ROM you are using.
Thanks for the replies. I have tried cm7 and I just can't get used to the stock android look. I just really like sense and the mikfroyo roms.
I am on mikfoyo v4.30. It would be awesome if you could help me out with that. I want to learn how to do the editing but I need to find a way to do it with my macbook.
How many does it have now and what color are they?
it has six bars and they are green
Im not running that ROM so I cant test the colors or look of it compared to the rest of the ROM but here is my best shot at it. Just flash that zip from the recovery screen and always make a nandroid backup first.

Man I really appreciate that brandnek that looks a 100% better than the 6 bars. It looks great it's exactly what i was wanting
After trying to flash framework res-apk in order to change my boring white wifi signal into a shiny new green one....i realised the pngs used for the wifi and phone signal are in systemUI.apk...so i flashed the new one and still am stuck with the same old white wifi icon.....what am i doing wrong....whatever i try ...themes/framework-res.apk/systemUI.apk....the wifi and signal icons stay white.
The images for the signal and wifi are in the \res\drawable-hdpi\ folder inside the framework-res.apk

Ive never used a GB rom, so for sure i can't say, thats there location on froyo roms though, have you tried the uot kitchen to change your icons?

I have successfully acquired coloured icons ....i think its a bug...as i only stumbled across it after falshing my girlfriends phone (desire ) if you fully wipe phone then install cm7 rc1 then flash Gapps it changes the wifi icons and signal to green after you install them in market....weird....
Is there and easy way to modify the bull**** that sprint now integrates into their android phone default theme. I want it to display the 1x icon and not the 3G icon when on 1x data. Also it would be cool if the 3G icon could be replaced by an Ev icon........would this be a theme setting. Is anyone working on this for a custom rom?
Im sure It will come with custom roms and themes.

I managed to get my battery and a few of the icons I wanted to switch. Unfortunately, the 3G and Signal icons are the same, and I'd love those to change to the Steel Blue pack from the UOT kitchen. I kind of enjoy the wavy bars lol. Either way, anyone know what exactly I need to change doing it with like ninja/metamorph manually? Tried changing a few, but nothing has seemed to do it for me, so not sure which set I need to change in this rom.
I believe that the signal bars used are in SystemUI.apk. You may want to check there, and try using 7zip to do that.
