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.

I have a question about changing 1 part of a theme. I have a theme that I downloaded from the SkyRaider ROM. I love the theme except for the Signal Meters. I want the default Signal Meter back. What is the easier or best way of doing that? I have the ZIP downloaded so if I can just modify the actual framework.apk that would be great.
Hopefully someone can help me. a little background. I love a lot of the icons Riptide uses and the color menus. I also love a lot of the custom ui elements of myns.
In the past i have been able to "combine" the elements by editing the theme and have done a pretty good job doing the new riptide v9 and Myns rom (rls 4). I have everything almost exactly how i want it except for 1 part. This is what i am hoping someone can help with. As a warning i am not a developer just someone who has played around with changing themes etc to get the effect that i want.
In warm 2.2 when you pull down the notification bar you have a switch toggle. For some reason i cant seem to get it to show all the icons when i use riptide. it only shows 4. (see picture below.) I wouldn't mind the icons going back to the original ones in Myns if by changing them would still leave the icons on the notification bar itself as is. Anyone have any ideas on what i can tweak to try to get all of the toggles back on the screen? Is this something i would have to edit the .jars for? (havent had to edited them so far)
as an update i still can not get this working hopefully someone with more theme experience then me will be able to help. I have tried going .png by .png to find the gray boxes that show up. I believe i found them as the myn framework does not have that .png and it looks to be the box however i cant just remove the .png without bootloop. I am guessing i will have to adjust a .xml file or .jar to get this working as well
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
i have some icons that i want to make for notification icons on my desire. i am totally rubbish with paint / photoshop and have tried many times already to learn. all i want is the icons resized and colour added to show the different phases of the signal / 3g and 4g signal. if anyone would like to help me reach my goal either reply to the thread or pm me. thanks.......................sudeki300
Have you looked at UOT Kitchen? there are some to choose from.
yes that was the first place i looked and was hoping i could just upload the icons there but it needs to already be an apk file such as systemUI.apk. so i'll still need the icons resized and rejigged then put it back into the apk file before uot kitchen can do it's magic.......................sudeki300
@ sirtagada, here the icons i was talking about............................sudeki300
Ok, what colours do you want for signal 3g and 4g?
And how many icons for each one?
Anyone with a zip for just signal bars in green?
Huh?
Need more info what rom this is for... what exactly are you talking about?.

I'm sorry , i'm on sleeper rom odex 2.03 , i'm looking to make my signal strength bars green , i cannot find instructions on how to do this and any files people normally list always change the 3g icon as well. Uot kitchen doesn't seem to change this on my phone. I found one file that changed it while leaving the 3g alone but it had other things changed that i don't want edited. Any help appreciated

You can't theme an odexed rom that your biggest problem right there it must be deodexed and them uot theme kitchen will work like a charm.

UOT kitchen worms first. It doesn't add legendary era at all unless you based it off of the legendary rom framework...
In Soviet Epic forum, clockworkmod root you!
i tried uot kitchen, but i think there odex support is limited because it won't change the signal bar color. thanks
