[Xposed] - Enable Network Activity Indicators

[nicedream06]

I've made a small Xposed module that enables the network activity indicators on the wifi and mobile data icons in the status bar for the Motorola Moto X. Even though GravityBox provides this feature, it doesn't work for the Moto X due to differences in the SystemUI code.

Screenshots:




It has been tested on the Moto X for T-Mobile, Verizon, and Republic Wireless. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on other model, but you never know. If anyone tests it on a different model, please report your results back to me.

Can't install

Can't install

Phone model? ROM? Other Xposed modules installed?

If you are running the AOSP Signal Icons Xposed module, this one will not work because they conflict. Although I don't think that would cause it not to install. Unfortunately I am not fluent in en espanol to easily find the source of your error.

Yea the error was before installing so I think is packet error or something. XT1053 KANGAKAT stock based t mobile 4.4.2 and yes I have aosp signal icons, gb, and a few more.

Source will posted on github shortly, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

The gravitybox feature works fine for me.... Would you like to see a screenshot? I'm on republic wireless. It looks exactly like the pictures you have posted.

No need to post a screenshot. If GravityBox works for you, then there is no sense in using this mod. I don't have a Republic Wireless model to test on, but for the T-Mobile/GSM unlocked version GravityBox definitely does not work for this feature.

Just installed it but I didn't see any changes in the icon

Thanks for the clarification and for you contribution! I was not aware it didn't work on XT1053...

It probably won't work on anything but the stock rom, because it overrides specific things in the stock SystemUI. But if you are on a 3rd party rom, the feature in GravityBox probably will work.

Work fine in my moto g stock rom thanks.

It works, but not being able to use SignalIconsAOSP is a deal breaker.

Hehe yea I prefer H and H+ icons

You said you're running Kangkat, so you don't even need this mod. The option to enable network activity indicators in GravityBox should already work for you.

GravityBox indicators technically work for me on stock 4.4.4. but they are commonly laid over other status bar icons or have other icons cover them up making visibility poor, looking forward to testing this out. Thanks

Tapatalk app won't let me thank you, so here's the real thing - thanks. Gravity Box mod wasn't doing it for me, but this worked great.
Thanks!

How's the battery drain?

it change a Boolean value false to true and you ask about battery?

I read they removed it from the status bar to save a bit of juice on the additional polling required to display connection state.

And yes, changing a Boolean value can have just about any effect depending on what that value drives.
