Has anyone get a metamorph patch for this? I'd make one myself if I had the H icon to begin with.

You mean these?
could you share the methmorph zip for this ? thanks.
Nvm I thought H was used in Sense and 3G in AOSP, but you can have 3G w/o HSDPA, silly me.
Not sure if this goes here or in Q&A, sorry if I'm wrong
I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15014591&postcount=183
and i had previously flash a theme that was for the Desire HD and it worked grate.
Will this be the case with a Incredible S theme, or do a risk messing to bad (brick and the sort) my G2
I'm still trying the doubleshot ROM, but once I put Unity 1.26 Id like to try this them, is it a high risk?
By the way, I can't seem to find themes made by G2/DZ people, do we lack theme creator? XP
We do lack themers for the DZ/G2. But if you using unity all of the themes designed for other handsets should work. Do a nandroid incase though. I have tried most of the DHD themes on my DZ and not had any problems

Works and looks great!
I would love to have the 4G icon instead of H like the U.S. Sensation, but I haven't found it yet. Any takers?

You know, I'd like that too, I've search around and I did find some Icons and for CM7 and some that will change your 3G to 4G but not much, I want one that actually works XD

It would be fairly easy to create a flashable zip to change the H icon to a 4G icon. If I get the chance I will have a look into it for you.
Or modifying it your self wouldn't be to hard. You just need to extract the 4G icons from a Rom that you know has them. I can't remember exactly if they are in framework-res.apk or SystemUI.apk. then using adb pull the appropriate files from the phone, rename the .png's and swap them using 7zip and push them back to your phone

can someone let me know if this systemui.apk removes the H and replaces it with 4G? or if you get errors? I run cm7 and I'm not about to install unity just to test.

FYI, 4G icons are already in unity's systemui.apk... it should just be a matter of renaming them so that they are picked up in place of "H". this is what I did in the above post's systemui.apk

Confirmed here that it works, although it also seems to mess up my notification pulldown background. See attached screenshots. First screenshot shows the 4G icon. Second screenshot shows how my notification background was changed. Third screenshot shows how it should look (after I reverted back to my SystemUI.apk). It looks like the UI is using some other graphic in your APK that is intended for another, much smaller element, and scaling it up to fit somehow.
pmcqueen said:
nothing else in the apk was modified aside from deleting the H pngs and duplicating the 4G pngs, then naming them as the H's, effectively replacing H with 4G, so I'm not sure why status bar images would have been modified.

Hrm, interesting. I diff'd all the graphics between the two SystemUI.apk files, and aside from the 4G changes, all the other differences were with the so-called "9-patch" PNGs (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html):

(etc., etc., etc.)
I compared this against the SystemUI.apk from Virtuous Unity 1.26.0, and the PNGs match what I have, not what is in your APK. So I suspect your source of the other PNGs (not related to the 4G changes) has somehow been tainted. Your 9-patch PNGs all have an extra 1-pixel border around the outside, with visible black bars indicating the stretchable areas (see the URL above for an illustration). Those are not present in the VU ROM. Those black pixels then get stretched and smoothed out, which results in the screenshot I posted earlier.
Here's the VU 1.26.0 SystemUI.apk, if you want to peek inside at the "*.9.png" files to see the difference: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2639253/SystemUI.apk
yeah, let me try from scratch again. give me an hour or so, about to eat lunch.
Good luck pmcqueen i hope it works! i will check back later! (have a nice lunch?)

hey, I already posted this in the Unity development thread, tell me if this works for u guys too. I used the zip from xboarders 4g icons zip and changed the systemUI.apk to the one that I modified (and works for me) with the 4g icons for unity. I just changed the names of the H and 4g png files and so far no problems at all.

Right, that should work, and is the same approach pmcqueen took. As long as your 9-patch PNGs are fine, this mod should work. Keep in mind though, this replaces the entire SystemUI.apk, which includes a ton of other icons and graphic elements. Anyone who has a custom theme in there will lose what they have.
The best approach would be to patch just the PNG files inside the APK, but I'm not familiar enough with Android themeing to suggest how to do that (aside from manually doing it).
Wait DaygosTommyT's zip file works correctly? no graphical issues with the drop down? im not going to have any other themes on my phone so would this zip work for me? all i want to change is the h icon to 4g... thanks? haha

I'm pretty sure you'd have to build a theme that uses them, i don't think there's any other way to change status bar icons. I could be wrong though.
ive tried looking everywhere but nothing to be found for aosp..
i need to know is there a way to get rid of the DC and H H+ signs off and have it show 4G for H+ and 4GLTE in replacement of 4G..
i appreciate the help and hope there is something out there for this,

I think you can do what you want yourself. Link above is a basic "How To" guide on changing icons in a system apk using Windows "Open Archive" functionality. What this means is you can use this method to edit/swap-out existing image files (png) without having to decompile/recompile the apk. If you need/want to start changing xml files however, you will need to decompile/recompile the apk. But for images, you can create/edit (using a Paint program or similar) existing pngs to your liking... or swap them out for other png files... the trick is to make sure the image dimensions are the same and the file name is EXACTLY the same as the one it is replacing (why? because the xmls are calling those images by file name... so png file names must remain the same as the replaced png).
I think the files you want to replace are:
"H" data icon is "stat_sys_data_connected_h.png" and
"H+" data icon is "stat_sys_data_connected_h_plus.png"
I'm not sure about AOSP roms... but on TW roms, these files are found in SystemUI.apk in the /res/drawable-xhdpi folder. Just read through the guide link above and I think you'll be able to change what you want. Just find a desired replacement png (4G, etc), copy, and rename to the ones above... then follow the guide. Remember: always do a backup first (/system /data etc) in case things go south. You can also make a copy of your current SystemUI.apk (before you change anything) and put it in a safe place (computer, external SD, etc) just in case. Hope this helps.
Hey thats Awesome. I'm at work now but when I get off. Ima go through your TUT.... I found the easy way ouy $2.99 on sale ...lol thanks for your input and TUT.
