Sprint doesn't show when 3G goes to 1x. The phone's reception indicator simply continues to show 3G no matter what (beside 4G). Sprint specifically disabled the 1x indicator to make it seem like it had 3G everywhere??
This article got me thinking about the 1x indicator
Any app that shows 1x in notification bar or elsewhere??
This has always bothered me about the Photon. Thanks for reminding me
If someone wants to try and fix it, this worked on the Samsung Moment so maybe it will work on the Photon as it appears to be in a file that is not brand specific.
I might try to learn how to edit smali files, if someone doesn't beat me to the mod.
It's a 30 second fix for anyone that has edited a smali before, can use the find command in a text editor, and who has all the correct tools set up on their computer.
Basically, in the Sevices.jar, there's a smali filed called
\smali\com\android\server\status\StatusBarPolicy.smali
The bolded/underlined text was changed:

Once you know where it is, it's really easy to change. You're basically just changing 4 instances of "sDataNetType_3g" to "sDataNetType_1x"
That is where it's telling the notification/status bar what icon to display under certain conditions.

So is that what happens when the bars and icon turn from blue to grey? Or what is that?

Hello everyone!
Today I have been working on trying to make the status bar transparent (ex. ios). So far I have tried uot kitchen; no good (just a solid black bar). I tried manually editing the statusbar_background.9.PNG, and while I can change the apearance that way, it has no effect on transparency. I even tried editing the XML as seen here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327565, still no transparency. Google hasn't been much help. I was wondering if anyone else has figured out how to do this for the galaxy players? Mind sharing how? Thank you!

On the hydrogen ICS, there's an option in ROM control to change the status bar's transparency. It doesn't work on fully transparent, but it does on 75%. I can upload whatever files you need (framework, systemui) tomorrow if you want.

Yeah, I doubt there is much similarity between doing it in ics and gingerbread. I would think the method that I linked above would do it, but idk why it doesn't. Maybe because I am odexed?

I can have a look, upload framework.res /system/framework
http://db.tt/Zb1tVbLPThis is my framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and systemUI.apk. Do you need my entire framework folder, or is this enough? Thank you for your time!

Change those codes "android:background="#77000000"" just meant to make the statusbar's menu transparent.
However,I notice that Tw4.5,Tw3.0 and Launcherpro can't be compatible with status bar transparency. I use the Xperia Home launcher.
In order to transparent status bar,after changing that "#77000000" you also need to do:
Decompiling systemUI.apk,then open smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\StatusBarService.smali.
change
new-instance v0, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;
const/4 v1, -0x1
const/16 v3, 0x7d0
const/16 v4, 0x48
const/4 v5, 0x2
to
new-instance v0, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;
const/4 v1, -0x1
const/16 v3, 0x7d0
const/16 v4, 0x48
const/4 v5, -0x3
Compiling.
Replace classex.dex.
Transparent the statusbar_background.9.png and replace the original file.
That's all.Hope you can have it.
Ah, so I do need to be deodexed. I guess I just need to do it.

Yes,you should do a full 'deodex' if possible because it's easier to modify a apk while it is a single file
But odexed ROM supports deodexed apk in fact.
However there are some bugs if you transparent the status bar.For example,it would become very ugly while running stock browser... Some apps may have issues too.Then if you find any way to handle these problem,don't forget to remind me~
Yeah, I know what you are talking about with the bugs. When I put the transparent PNG in, notification icons would get stuck halfway between two layers of black, hard to explain, but weird. I think I will probably keep my custom solid status bar, but still deodex, as there are so many things you need it to do!

Sorry taking a while, school studies :s
It is alright with me if you stop, because the person above told me how. Thanks for the effort!

Here you go, please note you have to manually replace the files rather than flash them

In which features I have to edit the code
Hi Everyone...
I have added a couple of soft keys through navigation_bar.xml in SystemUI.apk. The soft keys show great, but are also showing on the lockscreen, when the others "disappear".
The added ones are Menu and Search, the order is Home, Menu, Recent Apps, Back, Search. This is to be the same as my desire hard keys. I know, no point in it, but have just got used to the soft keys so much!
Anyway, here is my coding, I have removed the android:visibilty="invisble" attribute to no ill effects...
I have also added the relevant strings and ids in their respective places.. Don't know if it acutally helps, but it makes neater..
Code:
<FrameLayout android:id="@id/rot0" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/nav_buttons" android:clipChildren="false" android:clipToPadding="false" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:animateLayoutChanges="true">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/home" android:layout_width="65.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_home" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_home" systemui:keyCode="3" systemui:keyRepeat="false" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/menu" android:layout_width="65.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_menu" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_menu" systemui:keyCode="82" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/recent_apps" android:layout_width="65.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_recent" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_recent" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/back" android:layout_width="65.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_back" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_back" systemui:keyCode="4" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/search" android:layout_width="65.0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_search" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_search" systemui:keyCode="84" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/menu" android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="40.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_menu" android:layout_weight="0.0" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_menu" systemui:keyCode="82" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />
</LinearLayout>
I'm guessing it would be a smali edit.. I know no smali, and barely any actual .xml coding... Just learnt what I have picked up over my time with android!
Could it be to do with the ID's? (I know that when I made the center clock, I added the "@id/clock" and it made the clock "disappear" on the lockscreen, where taking it out the clock stayed in the status bar!)...
Is there anyone who could help me with this? I want to get it perfect, and at the moment, it isn't
Below are a couple of screen shots that show what i'm on about!!
Thanks in advance,
Matt
Needless to say, I am trying the same mainly for a request of someone but I also like using the softkeys as the hardware keys are less responsive now after 2 years heavy use.
I got it slightly different, I got the menu key moved but it will only show up when an app that supports it calls for it. If anyone knows what to do in either case we can make the softkeys with additional buttons and have them work properly and not show at lock screen.
If anyone knows the smali edit to do so the menu key stays in the navigationbar it would help me a lot. Or how to have the keys not show in lockscreen would do as well. Much appreciated!
Link to the question I asked in the ROM thread.

Figured out the smali edit to make the menu button persistent. But it gives the same effect like doing only the XML edit from Matt.
The smali edit to make menu stick without xml edit is:
Code:
invoke-virtual {p0}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/NavigationBarView;->getMenuButton()Landroid/view/View;
move-result-object v1
iget-boolean v0, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/phone/NavigationBarView;->mShowMenu:Z
if-eqz v0, :cond_1
const/4 v0, 0x0
:goto_1
invoke-virtual {v1, v0}, Landroid/view/View;->setVisibility(I)V
goto :goto_0
:cond_1
const/4 v0, [COLOR="Red"]0x4[/COLOR] [COLOR="Green"]0x0[/COLOR]
goto :goto_1
.end method
So change the last 0x4 to 0x0.
Now we just need a guru to help us please figure out how to add the menu button to the "ANIMATE_HIDE_TRANSITION" effect.
bump, anyone? pretty please?
I could do with getting this done... Anyone know of a fix?

Hi there,
I've spent some time learning how to make my own CM7 theme lately and I thought that I would share my work here in a new thread.
It's still a work in progress and I will most likely update it once in a while; but please remember the 1st rule: do not ask for ETA (timeframe) [and please also do not 'full-quote' long posts unnecessarily].
I've used some different UI text colors and did it kind of the "rough way"; i.e.: the colors will also be changed in some of your installed apps. It's really not the best way to do it, but I find that it does bring something new to the phone anyway... And in some cases [see the pic about storage], I find that it is quite convenient to see which options are actually selectable or not.
Again, this is a work in progress and I'm sure that there will be a few things to improve and I count on everyone's feedback. So if you see things that look weird (some 3G/4G stats icons for example - which I cannot test at the moment) or things you would like to be changed, please let me know and give screenshots... I'll see what I can do about it.
But most of all: try it, if you like it good! if not: trash it! :good:
This is my first real shot at theming so I'm no expert and I'm even less experienced at 'photoshopping'. So from the get go, big thanks to xda members MrDSL and kevin2516 for their respective themes (and guidance) which I picked from and modded.
This theme is transparent statusbar friendly [and look best that way] but to make that happen, you will need to do a slight modification within a smali file inside the SystemUI.apk of you specific build. Details on how to do so can be found here on this post and you can skip the part about changing the png pictures sinces those are changed within the theme already.
Again: this SystemUI.apk file is one a the backbones of cm7 for user interface and changes from build to build --> so the tweak has to be redone for every new nightly installation.
Finally, since I've made this on a PC running Windows, you will get an error message when applying the theme with Theme Chooser saying that the theme is missing assets for your phone's resolution. It's a Theme Chooser's limitation: just choose "Apply anyway" and do not forget to reboot.
I hope you enjoy!
/AL
P.S.: i) XDA apk file attachments are somehow transformed to zip files once downloaded; so don't forget to rename the theme to xx.apk before trying to install; ii) some of the screenshots might be slightly outdated and not fully representative of the current state of work.

-->requires killing messaging cached process to apply or a reboot)

- fixed the shade of most menu icons (black ones for white bg) and
changed a few of them: settings, edit, delete, emoticons...;

and pressed background color (no more uggly light blue on those ones ;P -for Coco);
- changed the dialer's ('Manage applications' and others) top Tabs
to TouchWizz style: slightly less light blue and vertical and separators now showing
[and 5-6 icons for it];
- retouched most of the light blue 'pressed' color (there were >10 shades of it...)
-> might still need some patch 9's tweaking for slight light blue shade stretching;
--> still looking to solved the statusbar date display (bg) when dropdown panel is down;
--> looking into modding sms for transparent background and popup dialogs.
v1.0:
- changed many icons and tab icons;
- changed keyboard blue keys color;
- fixed transparency of popup dialogs;
- added statusbar animations for missed call;
- added simple keys (buttons-like) on the dialer;
- fixed the overscroll glow and bars;
- added statusbar animation for new sms;
- made the 'scrollbar_handle_accelerated' semi-transparent;
- fixed the keyboard shift key indicator light;
- fixed the keyboard suggested words strip and font colors;
- ... and a few other things that my old brain forgot

[I mainly wrote this up for myself as a reminder only, but why not share it with you guys right!?!]
How to fix the date overlapping issue in statusbar.
Credits go to Achep
for his JB-style notification panel time/date layout – a big THANK YOU.
His index thread here
Let’s start!
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
…or at least make an UNDO flashable zip with the original SystemUI.apk in case that you lose the statusbar in the process and are unable to switch the memory card access from it. You could then also access it through the recovery usb sharing option, but the zip is easier…
Tools needed:
- Prior knowledge on decompiling/compiling apks.
- 7-zip
- Notepad++
- Paint.NET
- Apktool or other decompiling/compiling tool
[sorry I have no link for all those at this time – maybe later]
Notes:
- I put some extra details here and there might be errors – thanks for signaling them to me; I’ll do my best to update/correct stuff up as needed;
- I will not answer questions on how to compile/decompile if you do not do your part first and learn about all that stuff. So read about Java and Android development kits, see environment path variables for java… Signing apks or not (for system apps)…
Let’s start for real this time…:
Pull these two files from the nightly zip : framework-res.apk [in \system\framework] and SystemUI.apk [in \system\app] and place them in your apktool folder [c:\apktool in this guide].
Decompiling SystemUI.apk:
Code:
Run: cmd
Load apktool folder:
Code:
cd c:\apktool
Load the framework:
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Decompile SystemUI.apk:
Code:
apktool d SystemUI.apk
You can leave this command prompt window open (or minimize it to tray) as we’ll need it to recompile in not too long…
Enabling transparent statusbar:
Go to C:\apktool\SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\ folder.
Open StatusBarService.smali with Notepad++ and look for [Search/Find…]:
Code:
invoke-direct/range {v0 .. v5}, Landroid/view/WindowManager$LayoutParams;-><init>(IIIII)V
[this should be around line 2220]
And change the line just above it from:
Code:
const/4 v5, 0x2
to:
Code:
const/4 v5, -0x3
Save the file and exit.
Note:
As is, that part will allow transparent statusbar for themes made for it.
If you do not want to use a custom transparent-enabled theme, you will then have to modify these 2 files in C:\apktool\SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\:
statusbar_background.9.png
status_bar_background.9.png
and set their layer transparency level [with Gimp, Photoshop, Paint.NET or whatever] to whatever you like. But be careful: they are .9 files so you should not make the surrounding one pixel border transparent at all. Learn more about handling .9.png files before venturing into this [might write up something about this at another time].
Optionally, you can also modify these 2 files (which are for the notification panel pulldown background and the handle at the bottom):
shade_bg.png
status_bar_close_on.9.png
More info on all this can be found here on post #2 of one of my previous thread.
Otherwise, you can use my WizAL theme from the OP and it will save you the trouble.
Removing the date (and its background) from the pulled down statusbar:
Navigate to and open up: C:\apktooll\SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar.xml
Find [~ 3rd line from the bottom]:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:background="@drawable/statusbar_background" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:paddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Change it to:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/date" android:textColor="@android:color/transparent" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:paddingLeft="6.0px" android:paddingRight="6.0px" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
Save the file.
Adding AChep’s JB-style Date layout in the pulldown notification panel:
Download the attached zip and extract the 2 smali files from AChep [StatusBarJellyHeaderView.smali and StatusBarJellyHeaderView$1.smali ] and paste them into this folder:
C:\apktool_al\SystemUI\smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\
Now go to C:\apktool\SystemUI\res\layout\status_bar_expanded.xml and look for:
Code:
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@id/carrier_label_layout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
[around or at line 6]
And paste this code just below:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarJellyHeaderView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingRight="37.0dip" />
This previous step is not perfect as I just use some padding between the new date/time layout and the clear button. So that button will move left and right slightly depending on how much space the time takes. I still need to learn how to use RelativeLayouts…so if anyone knows, please share your knowledge.
Now with this mod, there is no room for the carrier label on there; so let’s remove it completely by removing the line directly below the one you’ve just added – so delete this line:
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.CarrierLabel android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceLarge" android:textColor="@color/carrier_label_text_color" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:paddingLeft="4.0dip" android:paddingBottom="1.0dip" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="5.0dip" android:layout_marginTop="1.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Save file and exit.
We’re now ready to recompile the SystemUI.apk:
Code:
apktool b SystemUI
Go to your desktop and place an untouched copy of your SystemUI.apk file on there [you can copy the one you’ve previously placed in c:\apktool folder if needed].
Right-click on it and select: 7-zip / Open archive.
Now in your C:\apktool\SystemUI\ working folder you will see: a new “build” folder --> open it up and then also open up the “apk” sub-folder.
From it, select these three things: the complete “res” folder, the “classes.dex” file and the “resources.arsc” file and replace the originals by drag-and-dropping them onto your desktop [untouched] opened archive. [answer yes to the file copy popup]. Close the archive and and you’re basically done!!
Just remember that this file is now your modded SystemUI.apk so you can push it to \system\app folder on your phone [do not rename it] through adb or [my preferred method] through the use of CWM recovery flashable zip.

- I do not recommend to push the resulting file manually [read with RootExplorer or other file managers] because you might make the statusbar disappear or worst case, get into an error loop before you get the chance to set the file’s permissions. So you’ve been warned: use adb or an update zip to push the modded file.
- for this to tweak to display properly, you will have to make sure that you do not choose the “Compact carrier label” option in CyanogenMod settings / Interface / Status bar tweaks.
- Again, play it safe and prepare yourself an undo patch with the original SystemUI.apk.
THE ATTACHED FLASHABLE ZIP IS TO BE APPLIED TO MANIAC103'S 2012NOV07 (Defy or Defy+) BUILDS ONLY
[although maniac's OCT25th (plus/no plus) builds have he exact same SystemUI.apk also...]
AGAIN: the SystemUI.apk changes from build to build and using this zip on another build might break things up;
==> this is why this guide exists:so redo the mod/zip for future (or older) nightly builds.
Cheers

I take that you like it then? -thanks.
Well, like I said in the OP, it's my first real attempt at making a theme and it is far from perfect. There are many little glitches I can still see like the date on the statusbar [2nd pic] when the notification panel is down, the general font color change is really also not the best way to do it...
I also have a lot to learn and many things I want to try first.
Although I did spend quite a few hours on this already, I still feel that it is far from meeting my personal quality standards and I would not post for such a wider audience yet; by respect to other themers and users...
Afterall, this is just a personal theme that I share here...

When the time comes maybe...
Please, let me do my learning and experimenting first...
But for now, I'm happy with cm7; especially with the level of support that Maniac103 is still bringing to it for us.
Thanks this theme is awesome!
Thanks ALL...its a great work.
Im using it on my defy but....is there any way to change the keyboard theme? Its the only thing I dont like.
And can I ask for something?...Can you make a black or dark version? I mean change all the blue stuff to a black or maybe dark blue...
It´s just and idea/opinion.
Again thanks for the hard work.
ALL for the transparent status bar, you also can enable it using OUT KITCHEN
All you have to do is enable the option "Enable transparency in status bar" in the "Status Bar" tab and upload the SystemUI.apk and the framework-res.apk from the rom you are using.
Then download the zip file and flash it from recovery.

You're welcomed and thanks - I appreciate.
As for your question:
well, as I said, I'm no expert at Photoshop and I know that I'll one day have to redo all this many times... But simple answer is yes - it can easilly be done.
By simply modding 5 picture files basically.. - believe it or not.
Check the zip, do your changes and I could switch it for you.
To replace those file in, you to be familliar patch - 9 format patching and how to compile them... [the kind of stuff I kept post #2 for eventually... Theming/forum posting overdose lately here...]. Once you know that, it would be just a matter of replacing the files in the apk with 7-zip and resigning it... [or re-compile the theme with uncompiled .9.pngs; what I would do..]
But again I could take care of that part for you np... So plz have a go at the PS part - go wild at it!! -hehehe. :good:
great theme
my phone looks better now with this theme..

Nice theme :good:
Happy Friday the 13th all!!
Here's maybe what will be my last update for this theme (we'll see about that...).
My guess is that well over 100 pics were added or retouched since v1.2.
And here's a rough changelog:
Code:
- Blue themed FM radio and icon
- Colored stat icons for Skype status: oh yeah! - finally!!
- ICS-style installation progress bar
and slight changes to:
- Tapatalk pro
- AdvanceTaskKiller
- DI Radio (Digital Interactive)
- SoundRecorder (colored the 3 buttons from white)
- Wiki Pro
- Email checkmarks
- Player Pro logo and stat icons
- SU icon
- DSP icon
- 3 text selectors color
- Terminal icon
- dialers buttons again
...and many single changes here and there
So go to the OP for the apk
Cheers
/A
P.S.: And sorry for the ones waiting for the ICS version of the theme: don't hold your breathe on this.
I've had good intentions of doing it (especially after seeing full HWA finally working), but after trying CM9 again,
I just don't like it and don't think I'll ever move to it. Maybe for Jelly Bean... who knows!?!

Hi and thanks - I'm glad you like the theme.
I really don't know why the dialer doesn't display properly for you.
Did you do like I clearly stated on the OP and reboot your phone after applying the theme?
Are you using a non-standard screen dpi setting by any chance??
For the Y-shaped signal statusbar icon, I've never seen or used a theme with 5 bars, so I would not know off-hand how to do it. But I'm sure that it would take more than just different pics. So if you know of such a theme, give me a link to it and I "might" have a look into it. But I can tell you right away that I'll be extremely busy for the next 2-3 weeks and will likely not have any time for this - sorry.
But anyhow, I put something together for you (very quickly - I did not even try it to see how it looks..); so try it to see if it fits your taste.
The first state of signal reception will show the first 2 bars and the no signal state will show a very dimmed first bar. And as usual, you'll get the full colors when Google is 'connected' and ready to sync (on wifi or 3G, 4G...)
Otherwise, I suggest that you try to do it yourself; it fairly easy to do. On your destop, use 7-zip and right click on the apk and chose "Open archive" [not Extract just Open], navigate to "WizAL.apk/res/drawable-hdpi" folder and find the signal pictures. They're all named "stat_sys_signal_X.png" or "stat_sys_signal_X_fully.png" (where X is 0 to 4 --> so 10 pictures total). Do your changes and replace them in. Re-sign the apk, re-install, re-apply and rebooot: done!
If you're not familiar with apk signing, you can do it straight on your phone: just look for something like "zipsigner 2" on the Playstore.
Lastly, if you like my work (and this answer): don't be shy and hit that "Thank" button - it's the least you can do and it's free.
At least, it shows a little more appreciation.... I'm sure that you can imagine how long a 1,200+ pictures (all the picture editing and related xml entries) take to put together...
Cheers,
/AL
P.S.: I strongly suggest you to update your CM7 to Maniac103's latest build. You're really missing out on many great improvements and bug fixes by staying on CM7 RC1.5....and who knows if you're dialer display problems is not also related to this !? [it really shouldn't but still...]

Thanks AL, i did as u said to reboot after applying the theme.
I still see the dail pad issue.
I did try ur quick fix theme, it looks good on non-transparent bg, but since its transparent bar, so its little hard to see the colors. attached both screen shots..
Anyways thanks for it . I hv not yet edited any themes till now and my PS skills are bad
May be ur default singnal bar color shd look good i guess.
I have seen some themes, but dint remember it now

thanks for ur time .

OK, thanks for the info; I will try to investigate the dialer...eventually (really don't know when I'll find time for that..)
Maybe your 3rd party dialer interferring with it? Have you tried to uninstall it to see if my theme's dialer becomes OK?
I don't know really; here I use 1.3 since I've posted it and all is fine...
OK, regarding your icons, try this new one, I think it should be better... I did it too quickly the first time and didn't think too much about it...
Cheers,

AL,
i did try uninstalling the 3rd party dialer, didnt help. No need to worry, hv alternatives 3rd party dialer
The new icons looks very good now , thanks for ur time.
This will allow proper signal indicators to show on your status bar. Shame on Sprint for always showing 3G or 4G...
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
Decompile SystemUI.apk
Browse to SystemUI\com\android\systemui\statusbar\policy\NetworkController.smali
Make The Following Edits...
Code:
.line 1667
:pswitch_fc
[B] [COLOR="Red"]--invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/NetworkController;->updateSPRDataNetType()V
[/COLOR][COLOR="Lime"]++invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/NetworkController;->updateVZWDataNetType()V
[/COLOR]
[/B] goto/16 :goto_d
All we did was change SPR to VZW. This will give us the Verizon Icon Set, which I believe is the same as the Sprint ones on the Note3. (My Icons are all themed)
If it is different, simply change to the public id for the 4g icon you want to use. The public Ids are located in res/values/public. search for the name of the 4g image you want to use. (Drawable-xxhdpi)
here is where the Public ID would go... still in the same .smali file
Code:
.line 2220
:pswitch_11f
sget-object v0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/TelephonyIcons;->DATA_4G_LTE:[[I
iget v1, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/NetworkController;->mInetCondition:I
