Hello everybody,
I started this thread because I'm having a not very important but annoying problem,I'm sure more people face this.
Case:
XWKK5 Kitchen Slimrom+Jkay 14.1
Theming with UOT-kitchen goes fine,BUT in the statusbar the H+ icon remains original.
I'm sure many devs and themers know how to fix this for me and many others!
Mate that's just picky...

Hi,
I have the same results on my I9100, but, it works perfectly on my Nexus S.
Hi,
You're right my friend, got the same problem with my [MODS)..... How to replace easily the H+ icon please...? Good question...
It's not exactly rocket science, have you looked inside the UOT kitchen file to make sure they new icons are there?

It doesnt use "H" icons for "H+", they are called by two differnt names:
"stat_sys_data_connected_h.png"
"stat_sys_data_connected_h_plus.png"
You need to look inside and see if there are any "H+" icons inside your UOT zip, im guessing UOT doesnt have them to put in your zip so it will use the default."H+"
If they arent included you can copy the "H" icons outside and rename to include "_plus" like above then put them into your zip and flash.
But this will show a H instead of H+.
Edit: After looking at the kalagas icon set on UOT there is no H+ icons, so if the other icon sets are the same you will never replace your original H+ icons unless they update the kitchen to include them.
The workaround is to manually edit them yourself, either by following the above or using a image editor to add the "+" symbol to thew icon.

Okay thank you!
I'll try to edit the icons maybe.
Why the hell would anyone want to remove this icon, bizzare
I think he means "replace".

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?
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.
Does anyone know how I can install the stock 2.3.4 signal icons, the connection indicators and the signal bars. I have Batista ROM but I don't really like the icons that it brings. And I don't want to change the whole theme. Thanks.

In systemui.apk, just open it in archive with 7zip and their in res/drawable-hdpi and drop the ones you want to replace in there(must be named the same and size )

Hello i was wanting to know how to change the image in the pulldown bar like you see in the UOT kitchen and if its possible to change the top buttons images like the wifi on / off and 4G on /off ect or the whole button itself
there in the SystemUI.apk located in system/apps
res/drawablehdpi folder
just edit in any image editor but try and stay away from the .9.pngs they are special and a pain in the bum.
you can just change .apk to .zip to unzip then rezip and rename.apk
you want the quicklaunch icons for the drop down icons
and status_bar_background for the actual background
thank you bro for such a fast answer
no problem i just happen to be trollin through
do you happen to know were the battery images are ?
and if i could just remove all the stock ones with ones from another theme for my phone ?
battery images are in framework-res
system/framework
if using ones from another phone you'll probably need to do some renaming
most roms currently on our phone use full 100 % increments
if i remember correctly there are 203 total 100 unplugged
100 plugged and a full empty and unknown
thanks again you have been a huge help
anytime
if noone shares the info this stuff can be a royal pain.
If you use the UOT Kitchen and keep getting errors, try un-checking Patch9 autofix. This will not decompile the 9patch images and may allow your theme to build. It worked for me with modding ACS Ice Cream Sandwich Theme (modded battery only).
thank you
and are there any other theme kitchens or rom kitchens for our phone ?
oh and i noticed there are two different default pull-down backgrounds one under systemUI.apk and one under the frameworks.apk and both are different sizes and dimensions , witch ones do i change ? or do i change both ?
the one you want for the drop down background is
status_bar_background.png
in SystemUI.apk

I'm fairly new to Android, coming from my FrankenPre to the Epic Touch. I want to begin editing the icons and images on my phone, and I've been exploring some ROMs ansd themes and switching up some icons, which have worked fine. However, I have no idea exactly where all the images are kept. For instance, I tried to change the stock Email icon, but the images I changed weren't right, and I was somehow left with the "Android Robot" icon.
My question is, seeing as how you know where these images reside on the phone, how do I go about knowing which icons are where, and which ones I need to change? Is there a list somewhere of the stock system images and their locations, or is it trial and error to figure out where they are? Thanks for the help.

haha "just rollin thru""
This is a basic HOW TO process to change/edit the status bar icons to add some color (or change icon) to the unbelievably mundane grey icons in the AT&T status bar. I've done this on CleanROM ACE (v3.5 through v4.9) by editing “systemUI.apk” and “framework-res.apk” (res/drawable-xhdpi folders) and dropping custom PNGs into their respective folders. You should have no issue doing this on any GNote2 ROM (another forum member confirmed works on Jedi as well). I simply swapped PNGs, using the Open Archive functionality in 7-Zip. If you are just copying images files (PNGs), this zip/open-archive method is easy and quick. There is no need to decompile/recompile the apks… you only need to understand how to use 7-ZIP…. how to open/modify file archives… and use an icon editor. (instructions attached). If you want to edit or substitute xmls, smali files, you will need to decompile apk, make edits/file drops, then recompile. You will also need the AndroidManifest.xml and resources.arsc files created from the recompile to move with the other xml changes to a flashable zip
Also attached is a list of icons I changed (including two 7z files you can extract to start your icon modding madness (WiFi, data, phone signal bars, bluetooth, mute, as well as animated GPS, upload, and download) including screenshots of some of these icons, and a step-by-step process if you wish to try this for yourself. I changed 13 icons in framework-res.apk and 22 icons in systemUI.apk. These PNGs are in the res/drawable-xhdpi sub folders.
Open, read, download attachments…. hopefully this helps you customize your status bar icons. If you don't like the color theming... np, just create any color combo you want with your favorite editor (I use "Paint.NET" which is very simple to use). Comments welcome.

Thanks, anyway to change the clock? I want it blue!
If you're running CleanROM 3.3, check out Tiffany84's thread in Theme forum... there's a blue theme with center clock mod that's pretty cool. If you go that route, I'd recommend you flash that mod first, then use that systemUI to make your custom PNG changes (otherwise that mod will overwrite your systemUI)
ok I wanna do just what you described. I want to replace the 4G icons from the international systemui with the 4G LTE icon from the ATT stock status bar. Just the 4G, I still want H+ for HSPA+ and the rest just like they are.
now when I open the Systemui.apk to my surprice all icons are there and even some that I have seen in other ROMs, even for othe devices. Hhow do I make the icons i want active and hide the sotck? just renaming them? and what name should they be? I see that some icon sets start with ics_stat and some with tw_stat. I think the stock start with just stat but I am not sure because there is some LTE icon that start with that as if they were active but does not show in the status bar
Dr Evo thanks for the PM. Ok so I'm not on ClearROM, I'm trying to cooke my own ROM with mods I have found around the site for my own use. Is based on the international ROM N7105XXDLL1.
My icon serias is the international, it has the grey numerals with the arrows right under. I don't live close to a non LTE are but when I change the APN to disable LTE I get the H+ icon and so on.
Now I got the ATT 4G LTE icon working by renaming the file, but the arrows are right on top of it and when I try to delete them the Systemui.apk FC on me.
I also used the Systemui.apk for UCLAJ2 the one from The Hybrid Saurom ROM that has the nice circle battery mod but this also has the international icons and the brightness slider does not turn off as I have it turned off on the stock one.
By the way, my daily driver this is what I got so far:
1. 4x5 with wallpaper scrolling Launcher
2. Transparent multiwindow with MWC for all apps
3. Resizable Popup Browser
4. Bravia Engine
5. Ink mod for lockscreen with color choices including red and black
6. Call Recording
7. Perseus Kernel
8. 23 toogles
9. CM10 apps like Apollo player transparent, Soundsearch with history.
10. 4.2 app like DesckClock, and Gallery includes the camera
11. Debloated but kept all SamsungDive aka Remote and S-Pen functionality, and also kept DLNA funtionality as I use this with my TV and such. All tested working
Wish list:
1. Volume skip/back mod for music players
2. Battery circle mod the one Saurom is using goes perfect with the ATT status theme. Is green and changes colors to red when is almost done
3. 4G LTE icon for LTE
4. Ink mod for live wallpaper
5. CRT-off animation
Its verry fast and it does not looses any functionality. I score 2066 on Geekbench with the stock ROM I scored 2094.
OC to CPU 1.8Ghz and GPU 800Mhz I score 2256 on geekbench and 8066 on quadrant.

@ DJBBOX The "in"/"out" arrows you probably want to keep as that does show network traffic while on LTE. The ATT "4G/ LTE" icon (tw_stat_sys_data_connected_lte_att.png) covers two levels (as the "LTE" is below the 4G) so it vying for the same space as the network traffic signal arrows. Here's an option: the attached PNG ("stat_sys_data_connected_lte.png") is just "LTE" in blue... but should allow for the network traffic arrows below as well... so when you are in an LTE area, it will show "LTE" in blue, with arrows below. If that works for you, just rename my attached file ("stat_sys_data_connected_lte.png") to "stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png", and drop it in your systemUI using 7-Zip Open Archive method.
Thanks
Thanks to the OP I changed my dull grey icons to colorful ones.

This 4G icon does not come with Jedi ROM. I just photoshoped the at&t 4g logo and turned it into an icon.
I'v uploaded both a 3G and 4G icon here:
Do you guys know a Mod to have date before or after the clock or in the middle of the status bar?

Check the "Tiffany84" thread in the Theme forum (CleanROM theming)... she also has been kind enough to take requests (if you ask nicely!)
Updated attachments (zip format) for the PNGs... now includes the "4G LTE" icon for AT&T enthusiasts. You can pretty much do what you want... just make sure your custom PNG(s) are the exact same dimension and exact file name as the ones you are replacing in the Open Archive file.
Would be nice to have a "how to" video.

PDF (How To Instructions) updated to include 4G LTE icons...
Thanks for the tutorial. Replaced my own lte icon and looking good. Had to make several adjustments to make room for the xfer arrows and prevent them from overlapping so it took a few tries.
I used this method and ninjamorph (market) to compare. I think I prefer the app, especially since it's free, fast, and easy.
Can you replace the framework.apk in Root Explorer or do you have to flash it?

you can... but you run a higher risk of things going south when messing with live (active) system files. It's always safest to use the 'empty' flashable zip Scott made and drop your files (/system/framework and or /system/app) in appropriate folder.. then flash in recovery (recommend wiping cache/dalvik...then your flashable zip) If you want to push using Root Explorer, I would recommend you first copy your active framework-res.apk file to a safe place (external sd). Copy is the operative word... do NOT rename, delete, or move an active system file (like framework-res.apk) or you're in for a FC Maelstrom party. After you've safely copied the framework-res file, then move your 'updated' framework-res.apk first to /system folder and fix permissions (rw.r.r).. then move that file to /system/framework and replace the active one. Now reboot.
