Not sure if this goes here or in Q&A, sorry if I'm wrong
I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15014591&postcount=183
and i had previously flash a theme that was for the Desire HD and it worked grate.
Will this be the case with a Incredible S theme, or do a risk messing to bad (brick and the sort) my G2
I'm still trying the doubleshot ROM, but once I put Unity 1.26 Id like to try this them, is it a high risk?
By the way, I can't seem to find themes made by G2/DZ people, do we lack theme creator? XP
We do lack themers for the DZ/G2. But if you using unity all of the themes designed for other handsets should work. Do a nandroid incase though. I have tried most of the DHD themes on my DZ and not had any problems

Works and looks great!
I would love to have the 4G icon instead of H like the U.S. Sensation, but I haven't found it yet. Any takers?

You know, I'd like that too, I've search around and I did find some Icons and for CM7 and some that will change your 3G to 4G but not much, I want one that actually works XD

It would be fairly easy to create a flashable zip to change the H icon to a 4G icon. If I get the chance I will have a look into it for you.
Or modifying it your self wouldn't be to hard. You just need to extract the 4G icons from a Rom that you know has them. I can't remember exactly if they are in framework-res.apk or SystemUI.apk. then using adb pull the appropriate files from the phone, rename the .png's and swap them using 7zip and push them back to your phone

can someone let me know if this systemui.apk removes the H and replaces it with 4G? or if you get errors? I run cm7 and I'm not about to install unity just to test.

FYI, 4G icons are already in unity's systemui.apk... it should just be a matter of renaming them so that they are picked up in place of "H". this is what I did in the above post's systemui.apk

Confirmed here that it works, although it also seems to mess up my notification pulldown background. See attached screenshots. First screenshot shows the 4G icon. Second screenshot shows how my notification background was changed. Third screenshot shows how it should look (after I reverted back to my SystemUI.apk). It looks like the UI is using some other graphic in your APK that is intended for another, much smaller element, and scaling it up to fit somehow.
pmcqueen said:
nothing else in the apk was modified aside from deleting the H pngs and duplicating the 4G pngs, then naming them as the H's, effectively replacing H with 4G, so I'm not sure why status bar images would have been modified.

Hrm, interesting. I diff'd all the graphics between the two SystemUI.apk files, and aside from the 4G changes, all the other differences were with the so-called "9-patch" PNGs (http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html):

(etc., etc., etc.)
I compared this against the SystemUI.apk from Virtuous Unity 1.26.0, and the PNGs match what I have, not what is in your APK. So I suspect your source of the other PNGs (not related to the 4G changes) has somehow been tainted. Your 9-patch PNGs all have an extra 1-pixel border around the outside, with visible black bars indicating the stretchable areas (see the URL above for an illustration). Those are not present in the VU ROM. Those black pixels then get stretched and smoothed out, which results in the screenshot I posted earlier.
Here's the VU 1.26.0 SystemUI.apk, if you want to peek inside at the "*.9.png" files to see the difference: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2639253/SystemUI.apk
yeah, let me try from scratch again. give me an hour or so, about to eat lunch.
Good luck pmcqueen i hope it works! i will check back later! (have a nice lunch?)

Oh, good idea... I'm gonna go have lunch too.
hey, I already posted this in the Unity development thread, tell me if this works for u guys too. I used the zip from xboarders 4g icons zip and changed the systemUI.apk to the one that I modified (and works for me) with the 4g icons for unity. I just changed the names of the H and 4g png files and so far no problems at all.

Right, that should work, and is the same approach pmcqueen took. As long as your 9-patch PNGs are fine, this mod should work. Keep in mind though, this replaces the entire SystemUI.apk, which includes a ton of other icons and graphic elements. Anyone who has a custom theme in there will lose what they have.
The best approach would be to patch just the PNG files inside the APK, but I'm not familiar enough with Android themeing to suggest how to do that (aside from manually doing it).
Wait DaygosTommyT's zip file works correctly? no graphical issues with the drop down? im not going to have any other themes on my phone so would this zip work for me? all i want to change is the h icon to 4g... thanks? haha
I'm currently using Calkulins v2.0.1a Rom good stuff....the best except for 1x indicator addition.
Anyone know how I can get rid of it so it only shows 3G like stock?
What? You don't want to know when Sprint is messing with you and providing you a 1x connection?
I think it is in SystemUI.apk

Well its not really that.
My coverage is pretty good 3G heavy but when I pass through weak sig area icon doesn't flip back to 3G.
I know I'm getting 3G speeds 700kbps up / 627kbps down showing 1x

Ahh, that makes sense. Didn't know it gets stuck at 1x even after you return to 3G.
I very much dislike you right now!
I'm on this ROM too, I'm showing 3G, I'm getting pings of 1000+ and 7~38kbps down and 50~100kbps.
I'm ON Sprints towers with almost full bars. I'm only missing one at the most.
Hmm, from what you folks are describing, it seems 3g and 1x are reversed.

No I don't think so. I'm running 2.0.1 and my indicator is showing correctly, and it also flips back to 3G from 1x just fine. Unless something broke it in 2.0.1a which i highly doubt, since the update to (a) just fixed a few App FCs.

I'm curious, when you are seeing these speeds, what does ##DEBUG# -> Data Status say, 1x or EVDO? I've never seen 3G ping times at 1000+ms. I often see 1x ping times > 800ms.

I feel you on that i get those same speeds in my house every where else awesome 4g but one thing I wanted to comment is aren't the bars for voice signal strength not 3g?
MODERATOR- Please move to correct sub-forum, it originally started as question but was solved and i turned it into a guide. Thanks.
Well... i had been trying to figure out how to change the carrier name in the notification bar for a few days and with some luck and some good tips from XDA Members and from antEris for pointing me in the right direction... here is a guide to help others who may want to change theirs as well!
**CAUTION- You will need to re-enter your google account info. This will wipe your contacts, and sync settings, so make sure you re-sync once complete!!**
Requirements:
Must have ROOT
FOR CDMA Devices ONLY! Will NOT work on GSM
Untested on all others. (if you test it on r800a, or any other one, let me know so i can update this.)
Things you will need:
1. Ninjamorph (Market)
2. HxD (google it, its free)
3. USB Cable
Method 1:
Steps:
1. Using Ninjamorph, select "New Project"
2. Navigate to system/framework
3. Select the framework-res.apk
4. Exit to home
5. Connect phone to PC
6. Browse to AndroidThemes/workspace/framework-resapk/res/xml on your sdcard.
7. COPY eri.xml to the desktop.
8. Now open the HxD application on your PC.
9. Drag the eri.xml into the big gray area.
10. You will now see a bunch of code, scroll till you see "Verizon Wireless"
11. Highlight Verizon Wireless, starting from the last letter going back to the "V" in Verizon.
12. Now you can type in what you want, UP TO 16 characters. If your custom banner is less than 16 characters, use the SPACEBAR and hit it for a total of 16 characters including how many your custom banner is. (i.e... XperianceIT is 11 characters, so i hit space bar 5 times)
13. Once thats done go ahead and exit HxD, it will ask if you want to save, say yes.
14. Now place the new eri.xml back on to the root of your sd card.
15. Disconnect Phone from PC
16. Open Ninjamorph
17. Select "Existing Project".
18. Browse to the ORIGINAL eri.xml and select it.
19. Now browse to the eri.xml you placed on the sdcard after modifying it.
20. Hit yes, a few times here, it will now take you back to the Ninjamorph main screen.
21. Select "Finish Project".
You will now be prompted for a few things, like if you want Ninjamorph to optimize it since its a .apk, I chose NO, not sure what will happen if you choose yes. Once thats done, reboot and enjoy!!
Method 2:
COMING SOON!
dont forget to thank/donate to me if you like this and it helps you out!
I'm not 100% sure on this,but as I recall,build.prop changes are undone after each reboot. You cant see changes until you reboot,but it gets reset,so you cant do it.
But google for it and you will find an answer

That's not true. If it was we wouldn't be changing dpi, model etc via build.Prop

Ok here is a question for ya guys... is there a way to modify the build.prop to change the word "Verizon Wireless" on my status bar to say something different? I did it once on my Optimus S which was fully unlocked and rooted. My Play is rooted but BL locked. I have tried a few times using ROM Toolbox's build.prop editor and it saves the words i put in, but nothing changes on status bar even after reboot. What i did on my Optimus was every word that said "Sprint" i changed to say "gROM 2.2" and it worked, but i cant get it to work on my Play.

You mean in the notification drop down? I believe that information is stored in the framework not in the build.prop.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Yes in the drop down. I know for Optimus S it was in build.prop, but it could be different for Verizon Xperia Play.
The text for the carrier label is in an XML file in the framework-res.apk.
Its under /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Then you'll need to edit eri.xml inside the apk on your computer, then push it back to your phone
You can find more specific instructions Googling "how to edit eri.xml"
Or you might try conap's app to do it all for you, not sure if it will work as its intended for use with aosp roms but heck, Verizon's rom kinda looks aosp. Worth a try anyway.

Hope this helps.

Oh dude, im so walking to my laptop right now to try it!

Got it! Took over an hour of playing and several crashes, 2 bootloops, and 2 nandroid recoveries later! But its friggin done!

Ok, I will check it out after work. Also, you might want to try changing it by editing your build.prop file, I know it doesn't work with mine but it might on yours. This can be done easily by using I rom tool box then click performance, then select build.prop editor. Yours might be a little harder cause of the "3". But I will copy the one I did on my old phine using this method to show which lines to edit, when I get off work.

Will this work on unlocked devices?
I zipped the xml so hopefully it will download this time.

I looked at the build.prop editor but I can't find anything referring to "3". This MAY be useful information to you but when my phone first starts and is searching for a signal is displays "3 UK" then when it has the signal it displays "3"

I unfortunately do not have a unlocked device so i havent been able to try it. Honestly, i would just make a nandroid backup, and then try see if it works, if not then, restore nandroid, THEN i would try doing it using the build.prop method. (which i havent made a do it yourself tutorial) but you can try using ROMTool Box, it has a built in build.prop editor, you would just find your carrier name in the .prop file and replace it whith whatever you want. This method allows for more character input, but it didnt work with my phone, so im not sure if its a Stock ROM vs. Custom ROM or if its CDMA vs. GMS thing. It worked on my old Sprint Optimus S w/ Custom ROM. If you try it and get it to work, let me know which method you used, so i can update the OP for compatibility.

That is useful, it gives me more line info to try and look for. Whats going to make it hard, is i wont have any way to test it myself, in order to narrow down what the value is we need to change, but i will look it over and see if anything stands out in comparison to mine. Can you send me a screen shot of the notification drawer pulled down? I want to see how it looks. Cause thats where the name will be not up in the bar by the clock and signal meter. (I ask, cause mine never said anything different while searching for signal as opposed to finding signal on the bar, or in notification pull down.)
Hello everyone! This is my first ever mod . It's not much, but it was a wonderful learning experience!
WARNING: This is a mod for AOKP rom milestone 5! I'm not sure what will happen if you use this on another rom!
UPDATE: Since quite a few users requested it, I've now made a version of the SystemUI.apk that uses H+ images I made instead of 4G for HSPA+ . Instructions are the same. Both the downloads are now below!
Now this isn't just another SystemUI xml mod that swaps the H icon for the 4G icon. This is actually a mod to the source of SystemUI.apk so it can distinguish between HSPA and HSPA+ and show the H icon for HSPA and the 4G/H+ Icon for HSPA+.
Screenshots of both the 4G and H+ are attached.
DISCLAIMER: Although this is a very simple modification and should in no way cause harm to your device, it is still your own responsibility to be careful when modifying your device .
Instructions for manual install (not using flashable zip above):
1. Download SystemUI.apk to your SD card.
2. Using your root file explorer of choice, go to system/app and rename your SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.backup (in case you want to go back). Don't forget to Mount R/W if using Root Explorer.
3. Copy SystemUI.apk from your SD card to system/app.
4. Fix permissions on the new SystemUI.apk to rw-r--r-- (Owner: read, write; Group: read: Others: read).
5. Reboot
6. Enjoy your 4G/H+ icon!

Yeah that's my next step. I just used the 4G icon initially because it's already in there. Hopefully I can make an H+ icon and add it tonight.

Fixed, sorry about that!
Edit: Actually, it keeps messing up the url and truncating the middle after I fix it?...
Double edit: I think it should be good now...
Also... I wasn't sure if this should be in development or themes.. So if I'm in the wrong place I apologize and hope a mod can move this thread to themes!
I guess it's a nice thing as 4G indicates a high speed data connection just like H+ , thou H+ is nicer cuz we want something that is really working on our devices ! .

Just marketing, 4G as it is now is only reached by LTE Advanced and Wiimax 2, HSPA+ it no even near 4G speed requeriments.
Just a coment though, the carriers get to my nerve when they try to skim people.
I'll make you a flashable zip. Give me a second
edit: http://www.mediafire.com/?lsc3yddfmbu1wcb
@op: just open it up with winrar and replace the systemui.apk with the newer one
Hey, thanks for this, I'll wait for the H+ icon but good work nonetheless
Edit: Just kidding. Don't know where the post I was quoting went.. haha. But this isn't just a simple image swap. It's actually a code change that allows both H and 4G (H on HSPA and 4G on HSPA+).

Nothing . Someone posted saying this had already been done and linked to a mod that replaces images. But I failed at quoting it to reply and now it's gone. Haha. But thanks for the .zip, I'll add that to op in a minute.
I ll be glad to see a screenshot of the 4g icon to see how it looks like.

I'm not at a computer anymore so I'll have to add a screenshot later, but it's the same 4G icon used to show LTE on the CDMA Nexus. Could probably image search it .

Are you running AOKP M5? If so, that's pretty weird. Maybe the flashable zip doesn't work. Try instead to do the manual SystemUI.apk replacement. I know that works. Did you make a backup or anything?
Also, if you re-flash the rom/gapps without wiping it'll keep all your apps and settings, but put back the normal SystemUI.apk.
Can you please tell me what you changed in SystemUI so I can apply this to SlimICS 3.5 ?
Thanks

Oh sure! In the com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.NetworkController class in the SystemUI app there's a switch statement of the networks that looks like this:
Code:
521 case TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSDPA:
522 case TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSUPA:
523 case TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSPA:
524 case TelephonyManager.NETWORK_TYPE_HSPAP:
525 if (mHspaDataDistinguishable) {
526 mDataIconList = TelephonyIcons.DATA_H[mInetCondition];
527 mDataTypeIconId = R.drawable.stat_sys_data_connected_h;
528 mContentDescriptionDataType = mContext.getString(
529 R.string.accessibility_data_connection_3_5g);
530 } else {
531 mDataIconList = TelephonyIcons.DATA_3G[mInetCondition];
532 mDataTypeIconId = R.drawable.stat_sys_data_connected_3g;
533 mContentDescriptionDataType = mContext.getString(
534 R.string.accessibility_data_connection_3g);
535 }
536 break;
So it falls through all cases of HSPA and displays the H. I just pulled the case for HSPAP out of that and put it after that big one as its own case, and when it hits that I display the 4G icon (same code that's in the LTE case). You could also pretty easily add an H+ icon to display instead. I'll probably do that eventually.
I'm not currently home or I'd post my exact change I made. I can do that later if need be though.
Thanks but decompiling never works for me It would be great if you can do this mod for other roms too
Thanks!
I flashed sacs note 5 port and im not really a fan of the lte sign for my signal. I like the stock one. Anyway there is a zip i could flash to get it back? Thanks!

I am on the same amazing ROM from ya boy Sac. What you are referring to is the new "heads up notifications" and I hate that crap also. Download the SQLite editor app (found here... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor ), follow the attached screenshots and change the "heads_up_notifications_enabled" value from 1 to 0. You may need to reboot for the change to work.
Hey thanks for the reply. I followed your steps to the T and unfortunately it didn't work for me.

Not sure why, your obviously rooted and I am on the same ROM as you. There is also an app called Heads Off that should do the same thing, give this a try.

Hmm i just tried that heads off bit i didn't see what I was looking for. I know there's a way. I was looking through all of the posts in sacs thread and someoje posted a screen shot and I saw he had the sprint spark icon. Im using 'Flat style bar indicators' on xposed. But i can't seem to get 4g in front of the signal bars. So basically i just have bars...not knowing if I'm on 3g or lte. Sorry for being a headache. Just like all my stock stuff up there. The rom is amazing though. Can't wait for another update. Thank you again for your help
One more thing. I messed with my keyboard the other day and had to reflash stock s6 one. Now i dont have the symbols inside the letters. So i cant long press for a '?' Anymore i have to go to the symbols. Pretty annoying lol. I took a screen shot but i honestly have no idea how to add it to this post.

Best to ask in the Note 5 thread, cant help with that.
Cool thanks for all of your help. I appreciate it
The signal icons used on the status bar are determined by the build prop. "noble" devices use the icons which you don't like. (not to mention that they are not sized correctly in his N5 port). "trltespr" devices use the sprint spark icons that you are wanting, However changing from noble to trltespr can also effect other features in the rom. If you want the sprint icons then you will need to change the ro.device entries in the build.prop to reflect trltespr... use our N4 OG5 build.prop as reference and you will see what I'm talking about. Last thing. Making these changes in the build.prop requires a factory data reset so that the rom can setup again with the new configs. Simply editing them and rebooting will not do the trick.
Usually i dont mind doing something like this but i dont know what to change in the build.prop . If there was a guide I'd read it. But thank you. I'm glad you know what im trying to do lol
So i found this. .... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...988642&usg=AFQjCNEq-YSRLtSLgHf6b8pLijNw0sFyGg ......but it doesnt tell me which line to edit. Then i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...ps/mod-edit-build-prop-international-t2951057 ...but i cant see the pics that shows you which lines or line to edit....sorry im trying here lol
I got it...thank you very much. Now id like to adjust the size of it but i didn't see that anywhere
