[Q] Signal Bars Mod

---

Does anyone either know how to modify the necessary files to create the 5 or 6 signal bars, instead of the default 4, or already have a flashable zip file to modify the bars only? I have been asking for weeks and no one seems to know. I found a few themes and different roms that do this, but the rom I want to stick with has the 4bars and I want stock look. The only other thing that is close in the transparent pull down 5 bar mod, but that flashes the funky animations and clear pull down.

You can UOT kitchen, but ifyou dont know what your doing here you can screw some things up pretty bad from what I understand. I too was interested in changing the signal bar along with the battery icon, but was told that it can be a headache to do and isn't worth the hassel most of the time. But I could be wrong, maybe it is easy and I'm just misunderstanding.

Pulling it out of BAMF of another ROM with the mod already baked in is an option, but before you do that, you could try flashing the Froyo Style Icon Pack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1043589. BUT, that package is only advertised for BAMF remix ROMs, so do so at your own risk and if you choose to try, make a nandroid!

Both are good suggestions, but I cant seem to figure out UOT to work for the signal mods and the remix page is cool, but they dont work for the bamf rc3 rom, it wont boot after flashing. Anyone else have any ideas?

download 7zip and learn to unzip/mod the frameworks/systemui. it's pretty easy once you get used to it.

I have already unzipped these files and tried modding them myself, but nothing is working. In order to learn something, you have to be taught it. No one here is willing to teach. I've messaged people, researched different methods on the web, and posted in forums. If its so easy, then create a zip and post it.

it's really hard to explain... you have to know what all the png's do and what they represent before modding them.

That's the right file but it's located here> System>app>systemUI>res>drawable-hdpi.

I'm pretty sure I could make a flashable zip for this. I just need someone to post the link to the stock rom being used. Transferring the .9.png files will be easy but I'm not sure which folder/file to transfer to make it actually work on 6 bars if stock only uses 4 bars.

Here are the files that I have been working with...they are pulled from an old theory rom...I used kitchen to mod/cook them and flashed them to BAMF RC3, the only problem I have with them is the green 4g icon, signal bars, alarm icon, and silence icon. Everytime I go into the systemui.apk to change them, the stock 4 bars return. I have tried painting them and pulling white bar/icons from other roms. They are the same filenames and everything, but something about changing those files breaks it. Thanks in advance for any help.

UPDATE: I finally made some progress, I actually ended up making two well working files. The stockanimationbatterysixbarmod(updated).zip file is a 6bar mod that has stock animations, battery percentages, has stock icons, has the recent apps function in the drop down, and includes carrier information at the top. This mod also moved the "clear" button from the center beneath whatever the notification to clear was to the top right corner.

The next file 6barstockanimationRC3 keeps the "clear" button beneath the notifications, and still has 6bars, stock animations, battery percentages, and stock icons but removes the recent apps function.

You can flash either file via CW and are up for anyone who wants to grab 'em.

It's possible both the framework-res.apk and the System.UI.apk are holding the right files but you're not deleting the signature(META-INF)file after you make your modifications. After you delete that folder you have to also resign the apk. I'll take a look and see if I can fix it.
