[Q] ICS ROM's that have a 5-Bar Signal Indicator

So... Does it bother anyone else that the AT&T based ICS ROM's come out with a non-working 5th-bar in the signal indicator? I don't code (would love to figure out how to code), but I am sure this isn't easy to ask... but is there anyway to get one of 2 things to work within those ICS ROM's??? 1. Make a 4-bar TMO stock/ICS themed signal indicator... or.... 2. Make the damn 5th bar just work...? This may be the dumbest request ever made by a member, but I am a purist and just want things to work the way they are designed within ROM's. Stock sucks, but perfection is better.. If anyone catches where I am going with that... Its just annoying to look down and realize you have full service, but the ROM is not coded to reflect that...
Just a thought.
Thanks for reading.

That's just a matter of switching icons around and renaming them in the systemui.apk
I advise you grab the latest sdk and apk manager and poke around.
I also have theming tutorials in the themes and apps section here. Find and watch my videos. They are bound to help you.

DONT WANT A BRICK? Check here

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.

I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

That's slick!:good:

hard brick - a pretty paperweight (tonight)
should have been more careful, soft bricked the phone, 2 times trying to change the dpi.
once trying to flash a rom - the rom flash, took it to QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, not impressed but i'll take this downtime as a time to relax.

Another way to avoid a brick; Don't use a mod, theme, tool or ROM until it's confirmed by multiple people in the community that it's working properly. Read the last 3-4 pages of a thread

I agree with you, I ended up with a soft brick stuck at the samsung glowing logo after trying to unroot because I got a crack the front plastic near the headphone jack. I managed to reset the flash counter and install the rom but odin failed at the end. Now I'm hesitant to flash another ROM. Anyone else here waiting for JellyBean Rom? Definitely take your time and always make sure your computer installs the drivers before doing anything! I got BB to exchange it for me since they couldn't get it to boot and the mystery crack wasn't my fault. I only had it for like 3 days IN A CASE TOO. Happy Flashing dudes.

I'm just glad i saw a forum for the gs3. I would've bricked my phone after i got it.

Another bricker my own fault went to unroot to take in for service and went and loaded a wrong .tar file of the stock system. Anyway...not looking for sympathy..just wanted to say thanks for the forum that gave me the tools to fix my mistake :thumbup:

Original is usually built from scratch/source. Android development is based from stock, leaks or ports

Why is "[ROM][21 Nov [UVDLJA v46] XquiziT xD - Aroma & Kitchen v11 - TMO ONLY!" say Thread Closed?

Ok, I don't know much but hopefully they get this solved I really like his ROM..

Why? He just updates his rom more commonly (all 800mb+) and breaks things a lot and steals others hard work without asking, or giving credit to them. (Allegedly), with proof, of course. I say use Frosty or Evil with the available themes in the themes and apps section. Xquizits roms always seemed okay... but too many broken things caused by pointless updates that are way too huge and should only require a seperate flashable 20mb zip.

I was with MIUI from Froyo but they are having problems with the JB, ok i will check them out. Which is the better of the 2?

Personal preferance. Try and see for yourself. they both feel extremely fast and I use seperate kernel usually so I can't attest to battery on either... just read the last 3-5 pages of each and make a decision that way.

Ok, Thanks

What sucks is that none posted a reason being closed. I think the community should know what's up. I think he thanked enough as he could on he's OP. If he missed someone then I personally would say sorry but he is awesome Dev. and if he missed someone, he's only human and forget what he put in your work sometimes.
I hope this gets resolved or at least someone explain why it's closed.
Remember "assume" always makes a A$$ of U and ME.

Yes I agree, I have been with his ROM since I stopped using MIUI and yesterday I was lossed when I saw the message stating that I was closed. I am hoping everything works out for him as well

There's a deference in using someones work and saying thanks to them, or giving credit, and stealing there work without asking and claiming it to be your own. Pretty much being a thief... If people were to donate to him cause of his rom that is wrongfully going to the person. EvilArt created hidden code and such in his work and he posted that XquiziT was using it in his roms and not giving credit. Other's have mentioned this as well about his roms. It's sad and sucks and I hope there was just some confusion, but evidence is evidence.

Another one gone because of freaking drama...

Soap Box
Yes I used the word "Wicked" in my Rom but nothing else. Wanam's 15 toggle code is where that word
came from a compare I did when my mod was fc'ing. I have done all my own mods why would I use Wicked's and the SystemUI.apk at that. Nothing special about that file and prob 85% or more of the S3 Roms are the same mods and would compare except the word "Wicked" that yes I included.
Anyway I will keep doing Roms for myself but will no longer be a part of XDA. Not because of XDA, because of what goes on there.
Thanks for all who supported me but as I have said before I take no donations as this is my fun and learning experience.
Thanks!

Well that sucks. I like Wild's ROMs and he may have took others work, but hell....the same code floats around from DEV to DEV anyway.
SN: Wicked ROM is actually pretty nice. I tried it once it was proven that Wild was stealing code from Evil. I think Wicked ROM needs inverted apps though. They make the ROMs like so much more classier!
Anyway, thanks Wild for all of your work and efforts. You put a lot of time into updating your ROMs and I'm sad to see you go bro.

Flashable jelly bean mods

I am looking for flashable zips like notification bar with adjustable sliders and toggles and anything flashable that works on 4.0.4 TW roms, from jelly bean. I would like to put all of the zips and links here in one place that way it helps me and others as well as keeps ROM threads from being flooded with the same question. Thanks in advance
I have found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32622495
4.1.2 keyboard runs pretty smooth can be found in the market via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jellybeankeyboard.f.g
Lockscreen that is free in the market as well as a plus version for more features via
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobint.locker
So give your thanks to this guy for finding as well.
The only thing that I have tested is the TouchWiz 5 and applied the jelly bean add on using twrp. I am using Rushing's intergalactic connectivity which is a 4.0.4 based ICS TouchWiz ROM. I can't test the cm10 theme because I can't download I market says phone isn't compatible

Well as much as I like your nice way of flaming I am currently working 24/7 an raising two kids as well I don't have much time to get on a computer. I am currently taking a risk of not having a phone by downloading and testing what I have found after I see how everything behaves then I will modify the OP with what I have found. It's amazing of how it takes the same amount of time to type what you have and post a link.

[Q] Hi! I'm new and don't understand a thing.

I recently am an owner of a SGS3. And it's quite a change if you have had a blackberry before.. ( Yes I know those things are things from hell ) Yet, I've seen things on the web about rooting and flashing rom's and mods etc. I read the Ref Guide which is stickied. But still.. I have no clue about it all. The only thing I want to do is have a ICS Status bar on my phone, you know the status bar with the blue icons. I've already downloaded one from the play store but that one is crap. Now, I am on Android 4.1.2. and yeah I really want some more and simple info. And definitely want the status bar.
Thanks in advance!

If I'm thinking correctly you would want something like CM10. 1 or AOKP or a tw rom that you can theme to look like ICS

Cm is a bad idea for someone who doesn't even know what it is or what anything in the reference guide is for that matter. The OP probably barely knows how to work android it seems. I prefer them to learn their phone before trying to root and flashing things I can see many part coming from them about their phone being dead and won't turn on.
Read some more and watch YouTube videos on this phone and learn what rooting/flashing custom roms are. For your phones sake. PM me with any questions and I will simply link you something to read.

@OP, I do understand. I went from a blackberry to an HD2 and now to the sg3. I've hacked the heck out of all 3 devices. XDA is a most excellent place to learn all things android. Follow the advice given and read, read and read some more. If I, a 54 year old grandma can learn the ins and outs of all these phones, I know it's possible for anyone else to do it too.
