Feature Request- Signal dBm in Status Bar - Paranoid Android Features Development

Hey guys, long time fan of the rom, since I wasn't ready to sacrifice ART for stock rom w/ Xposed (among other things, battery life, PA's features...etc.) I really do miss seeing the signal strength as dBm, gotta love numerically accurate data .
Would it be possible for you to include an option to either change the signal status to dBm, or perhaps include both bars and dBm in the status bar? It would really be helpful as my area has terrible service, i'm sure others would enjoy it as well. Xposed has a module for it, Dashclock I've tried, neither do it justice.
This is something I am always looking for on app search rampages but I can never seem to find anything that works quite well enough, seeing as you guys do just about everything totally awesome, I thought I'd put in a request.
Stay frosty PA

Change task bar icons

I was just checking out colonels latest rom and like how he changed the icons for the battery, signal meter, and Edvo indicator. I used Wisebar in the past to do this, but would prefer now to go back to it. Any ideas? Chad

4G toggle for "Senseless ICS - EVEN MOAR AOSP" ROM

can't post in the original thread yet (too n00b) otherwise i would have...
anyway, i'm diggin' the ics-senseless ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640091
but i wanted 4g. you can't see it in the ics settings, and there is no quick setting for it either.
however, the widget 4g toggle here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasoncalhoun.android.toggle4g
works just fine on evo 3d.
you still WILL NOT see '4G' icon in your status bar, but if the 3g disappears and goes blank, you'll have 4g connected. this lack of status indicator does not bother me much. i usually run a quick Speedtest check anyway to see what kind of throughput i'm getting.

[Q] I'm looking for specific roms/ can you help me out here

Ok yesterday I installed about 6 roms we have for the i717 that are somewhat new(4.1.2)
The roms i'm looking for i want them to show the H, H+, 3g like King Kang oct-17 rom. I also prefer the settings layout kinda small and everything on one page, I guess that's ICS's settings layout where it has the Rom settings, Paranoid settings. Right now I'm on the Super stock Oxeded rom(looks the same as stock to me) Although it has the 4g icon but you can't tell if you're on 3g as for me i've been seing 4g icon all day but when I was on King Kang rom it bounces from 3g, H, then stays on H+.....
Here are the roms i've X out as not for me:
1.King Kang. Love the signal icons, love the settings UI. BUT yesterday the lockscreen pin was so buggy, when I would press a button it would input the wrong numbers. So i couldn't get into my phone I had to just install a diff rom, This rom also makes my screen flash, at one point i couldnt make calls or recieve calls(I'm on straight talk, might been a APN issue)
2. Quincyatt oct24-12 rom. Doesn't show any signal icons. other than that it was ok.
3.collective rom. I just didn't like the theme of the rom. I'm not a fan of custom icons and all that other fancy mess of changing names of some settings you are looking for.
4. Black Star rom. doesn't show any signal icons. no paranoid settings. It's a cool black n white settings but everywhere you look you see "BlackStar" it's even in the notification bar.
5. GovCheez rom. Doesn't show the signal icons. I like the setup on this rom.
6.cookie and cream rom. no signal icons. has paranoid settings so that's good. not a fan of the bootup animation either.
To me it seems like you may want to learn how to theme a Rom and make a theme to your liking. That or learn how to make a Rom with the features that you want.
What kind of signal icon u trying to see?
sent from the cheeziest note in the south!!!
I recommend using cyangen mod 9 or higher

Im currently on Black★STAR ix and i get 3g,H,H+,etc icons for signal. If you would take the time to read the OP and through the thread you would also realize that there are flashable themes for stock and so on. Plus now there is the OTA feature through the settings menu. Just take your time and read and don't forget "search" is our friend

Seems you need a new friend. Really all the post provided to you seem good to go, sounds like you want something cosmetic, there are threads for this type of mod you want to have and or displayed. Sure that is part of the want of a ROM, me I want stability and something that can handle the stress I put my device thru...how it looks well I will take those mentioned over looks any day just me, hope you find what you are looking for, thanks.

help with status bar icons

hey guys,
just moved over to the htc one from the nexus 4 and loving it so far - so much better. BUT few gripes I was hoping to get some help on. is there any way to change the status bar icons? What I liked about nexus 4's status bar:
- changes color based on connection. e.g. if bluetooth is on it's grey, if bluetooth is connected its blue
- same with wifi / 3g - grey if connecting, blue if connected
- only one icon for signal and connection (hspa / 3g). htc one shows two icons - one for signal strength one for up/down/connectoin type. I don't need so much info.
any help much appreciated?

Sounds like you want to get back on AOSP. Look in the Original Development section - there are a few AOSP builds. I'm not sure where they are on working out the kinks though.
I would check out Xposed framework for the One. There Ida nice application made for the One that can assist with some of these requests.
Also inside the At&t HTC One dev section there are mods to remove the Att network icons and give you the international look and accuracy.

Any way to turn off the wifi arrows?

They are distracting. Looked everywhere, maybe command line?
Nope, not possible on Pie. Hopefully they'll remove them in Android 10..? Btw.thanks Sony, it's their stupid implementation ?

Because they are moving other status bar icons back and forth. I find it very disturbing. Arrows should be part of the network icon, current implementation is plain stupid.

Ok, i don't have many icons on status bar so it's not a issue for me, even if it is moving other icons i have never noticed it

Even if there's only one icon, the constant jumping was driving me crazy. I learned to tolerate it, but I would get rid of the arrows in a blink of an eye if that was possible.
Yeah, a bit annoying. On Nokia phones running Pie those arrows are part of the icon, the both wifi and cellular.
I disable the % of battery to save a little space. This helps when the icons are nearly full on the right half.
Or you may adjust the display size like the discussion here:
