I am running the anthem 3.3 Rom and really like it. I was wanting to swap the signal bars in the the status bar for a dBm reading like in cyanogen. Does anyone have a zip I can flash for this or know a way to mod this? I don't want some half ass app cluttering up my status bar by just placing it off to the left. I have searched what seems like the world to try to find an answer but keep coming up short. Thanks in advanced for the help.
Thanks Jason
I've never used it before but I know the UOT Kitchen is reliable. You can customize a lot of items through them:

I tried kitchen and its great, but the one thing you can't change is the signal to dBm.
Id imagine it would take some major recoding of a couple different system files to make this work nativley.

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.

for a some xda thread info on the above link ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764521
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
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.
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
hi. where can i find a mod for a different signal strengh icon. the stock one looks really lame. thanks.
btw, i downloaded the widgetsoid free from the market and it works great. also a batt. and alarm mod from elsewhere in this forum and they also work great. i'm sure there are many more little mods floating around, but where? not everyone wants to flash a different rom, just to get new looking battery/signal/clock/etc. icons.
