I'm looking for a Magisk Module that allows the status bar to be customized with different icon styles for wifi, cell signal strength, battery, etc. Custom roms usually have this implemented, but I'm sure there's something I can install individually.
Any help is appreciated!

I have just a few for wifi-data and there is always 3Minit battery for battery customization.
This guy has made a gravitybox for a12. I tested it , didn't loop my p6pro I guess, but I don't think it works. I've got so many customisations on my phone anyway, but battery bar doesn't work. You can try it if you want. Link
Thanks folks. I just came across this thread that has all that I'm looking for. It's a new project that is adding in new features all the time that won't require me to jump ship to custom roms as much anymore. I appreciate everyone's help!
Android definitely needs updated sig strength icons FFS! The filled ones are horrible! Even better have an option to show dBM for cell signal!

Yep, I absolutely hate it. You can hardly tell how many bars you actually have. I prefer the Xperia signals because they're identical to the old style that was once used. Even iOS has better indicators!

I've been trying to find out if there is a way to separate the battery icon from the 3G/WiFi symbols in the notification bar?
I'm not a developer of any sorts, but I hope to pass this info, if at all possible, to someone that might be able to. Unless if course there is someone here that can create a flashable mod for this?
Either way, I appreciate the read and any replies.
Thank you,

P.S.
I know of the extended settings mod that Andy Thomson has created and it is really close to what I am looking for but if this could be done, it would be the icing on the cake.

Are you on MIUI?
I didn't quite understand what you were trying to do until you mentioned extended settings, and I still kind of don't.
But if you're trying to put the battery icon on one side & the signal bars on the other, you could hide the battery with extended settings and use an app that shows a battery icon in the status bar. That battery icon would be on the side with the notifications since it's an external app.
If you could make a mockup or take a screenshot & show where you want the icons, I might be able to help you out. All of the modifications I've been able to figure out have been from MIUI, so I don't know how well it would translate to other roms. I'm sure that *if* I could do what you're trying to do on MIUI, someone could make it possible for another rom. It's just easier to do such modifications on MIUI.

I was wondering if there are any really good Status Bar apps out there? Trying to emulate one of these following looks:

I tried Super Status Bar and it was very mediocre and StatusBar+ Lite but the "Lite" doesn't give me enough to play with to know what the premium version does. Not sure if these things are baked into the ROM or if there's a good app to do this.
I specifically want weather (with gorgeous icons like that 2nd and 3rd link), time, battery life, and signal strength but other options would be gravy.

damn bro 373 views and no one answers, in the market get rom tool box you can change all that easily. make sure you get the pro version its worth the $.
Is there a mod to add data transfer speed the taskbar on cm 10 roms? I had a cm based rom on my phone that had this and I loved it. I don't really want to rom surf on my N7 right now so I was wondering if there's a mod to add this functionality to a standard cm rom.

Not a mod but a simple app can do this easily: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.internet.speed.meter.lite
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I was hoping to find it in mod form, though, because I'd like to have the reading in the status bar, in matching color, right next to the wifi. Silly, I know, but I'm peculiar about layout and aesthetics

the Pro version of Network Monitor Mini allows all of those things, as well as custom font

It still doesn't quite suite my fancy.
Hello,
Curious to know if there are any xposed modules available where I can change the colour of the battery icon, or individual status bar icons for Lollipop and above?
I do like Gravity box, but that will only colour all of the icons and not individual ones. Other than that, I can only find a few custom roms that will do this but of course I'd rather have a stock rom with a mod installed if possible.
Thanks,
I'd rather use FLAT STYLE BAR xposed module..with that you can change every aspect of the status bar icons.
Where is the download button

M8, he was asking for suggestions!!! Read it again...
If you're asking about Flat styled indicators then here is the link for the module - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-flat-style-bar-indicators-t3000029
Thanks for the suggestion.
I believe I have used that xposed mod before, probably about 12 months ago. I tried it on GPE 5.1 but found it never used to change the battery icon in anyway. GPE is pretty close to stock aosp, all be it a few htc additions.
Perhaps I should try again as 12 months is a long time and new releases have no doubt been released.
I have a OnePlus 5T onto which I recently installed MSM-Xtended-OFFICIAL-XP7-Release-v15.2 and Magisk-v19.3, and it's work great. Custom roms like MSM-X are quite new to me, though I have done some general rooting in the past, and am currently figuring out the android internals, where things are located, how things are arranged, etc, so I would really appreciate any pointers I can get.
What I'm currently trying to figure out is how exactly to change the status bar icons (mainly the wifi and cellular signal icons, which are a solid cone and triangle, respectively, where as I'd like to have more traditional looking bars. Also, if possible, I'd also like to be able to have those signal icons (and perhaps the one that indicates the cellular speed, like H, H+, LTE, etc)
The "X-Tensions" menu in the Settings app allows some limited changes, like letting one change the position of the clock - I like it centered - as well as have the date show next to it, and letting one choose from a short list of battery icons (and/or showing text percent), but there doesn't seem to be a more fine grained control over the status bar.
I have done some searching and reading and some places say that the icons should be within /system/app/SystemUI.apk or /system/framework/framework-res.apk but I searched through those (searching within the res/ folders of each as well as anywhere else to be sure, but I don't see those signal icons, so I assume they must be somewhere else, maybe something more specific to MSM-X, or maybe Lawnchair (the launcher MSM-X comes with) ?
Thank for any help.
Edit: I have attached two images, one showing what my status bar looks like, and the other is from an example I found online of the signal icon style that I'd want to have (the more traditional individual bars.)
Also looking at the first image, I'd also like to move the signal icons over to the right, beside the carrier name (and perhaps move that temp icon to the left side.)

You cant change them that simple as you seem to think. Its not like there is a single png in a folder for each icon.
The icons (a lot of them for every icon; for every state) are inside the apks you mentioned. In order to change them you would need to decompile them, do the changes and recompile them and replace the original ones with the modified ones.
Search for 3minit mod. Thats the easiest way if you want to do it like that. But that requires some knowledge.
Way easier it would be to just use substratum. Search a theme thats has the icons you want and then just apply the statusbar icon overlay. You can just leave out the other overlays if you just want to change statusbar icons.
