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'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'm not sure if this annoys anyone else, but I really hate the stretched out 3G icon that Verizon put into their ROMs to replace the EvDO label. Is there any way to replace this with the standard size 3G label that shows when connected to UMTS networks or just go back to the old EvDO icon?
if you are talking about these two icons, it's very easy to make a MM theme or .zip to change this. I actually love the bigger 3g icon.
Upload the SystemUI.apk from your rom and Ill change it for you... I Personally like the MIUI 3g Icon!!!

That's the one! It just looks half-assed to me, especially when they have it right in other non-HTC Android devices.

Here ya go. Thanks in advance!
I don't mind the MIUI ones, but I prefer the HTC...
Edit: I unzipped the file to check out the contents, and I have a few more favours if they're doable. I would like it to show the 3G+ icon when on Rev. A, 3G for regular EvDO, and the other ones left as is. Also, would it be possible to use the six bar signal icons instead of the ones with four?

I am in the RMK GB ROM with the latest patch... I'll look up the OUT kitchen. Thanks!
So UOT has been down every time I've tried to work on it, and I can't seem to find the right XML file in which to change which icon gets referenced by Rev. A... Can anyone help?
That is the 3G LTE icon, somehow they got switched. Maybe this is what VZW wants you to see now.

Yeah, I discovered that in the PNG file name, but that makes no sense at all since LTE isn't 3G, and this device isn't even capable of LTE. Ugg. Verizon kills me sometimes. I actually got this sorted last night in UOT (I think), but then I couldn't find my ZIP for pickup so I never got to see if it worked.
I would love to just use MIUI but it appears that I lose Visual Voicemail with it.

No, it comes only on the China Telecom 2.3.4 ROM. Any VZW-based ROMs like RMK or Virtuous will have the silly stretched 3G icon.
is there any way to get it otherwise?

EVDO = 3G
and I could literally just change out status bar pictures with the ones u want, but I don't know how to make them work as they should. they will still work just not the correct way. there are too many images for what we have.
Here's a few pics of me at full icons my -dBm is -72 and when the bar went down one.
I have it set up so the 1x is at full status always, and the 3g is basically ur new bars, they show exactly how they would show as normal bars but now its just changing the littler 3g icons bars. It's all I can do until someone figure out how to use their edits.
this is something I can do easily for any ROM, I can also change it to the 1x bars that change instead of the 3g if preferred.

so you could be in an area with no 3G coverage and barely 1x but it will still show full 1x bars?

that's the thing, if you look at my pic, 3g isnt on, wifi is. so with 3g off, itll show like that. basically this just changes the bars from the regular ones to little ones that were wanted. the bars work exactly as they would normally. but it's either the 3g icons are all full or the 1x icons are all full you choose, it's the best I could do that is accurate.
I noticed on AOSP roms that the signal bars are grey until it has data connection to google then they go blue. But on Touchwiz, they are always the ugly grey regardless. The stock Touchwiz roms even include the proper blue png files in the SystemUI but they don't ever seem to get used. Is there a way to turn this type of feature on?
As subject says, how can I replace the stock Sprint LTE icon with the stock Verizon 4G LTE icon? The icon update looks horrible and cheap IMHO. Is it possible to replace it??
