I just got my tmo hd2 last week and was wondering if anyone knew how you change the top right icons like signal strength, battery, 3g. I've seen a couple of pictures of it but haven't seen a cab file for it. If anyone could point me in the right direction to where i could find something like that. Looking for icons other than stock. thanks

If this already exists somewhere, please forgive me for being the mayor of simpletown. If it doesn't already exist, some of you awesome devs should make it happen.
It would be pretty sweet if each of the signal strength bars were actually little Android robots. Green to indicate a signal and grey for no signal.
What say you?
That would be sweet. It's all a matter of PNGs, so why don't we play around with it and see what happens?
they'd be so small you wouldn't know they were androids

How about two androids, side by side, and their raised/lowered hands were the signal indicators...just kicking ideas around.

seems more feasible
if you can make the png and mess around with it, then it'd possible. you can probably even make stuff like that in microsoft paint. just pull framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk from /system/framework, and replace the status icons. it's actually not all that hard...
i guess it's just about making it look nice. when i installed the darkstar theme for the hero, the location service(the target symbol) was blue compared to the other stuff being white. naturally, it bothered me, so i pulled out a regular icon from another rom, but it looked weird cause it had a box around it. i just opened up paint zoomed all the way in, filled in all the non-black boxes using the pencil tool, and repacked it. it worked fine
The only difference between the stock 2.1 lockscreen and the one on the X seems to be that they've given the X a flat, non-clear texture. It does look nice, but, is there any way I can get the original look of the bars back? I love the circular icons this version uses, but the way the bars look like they're sort of folded when you pull them out bugs me.
Does anyone know where I can find the original images, so that I can edit the normal framework-res and get that back? I know there's a metamorph theme that does that for the Eris, but I'm 99% sure that such a thing wouldn't work on the X.
hi guy, kinda late to the party but i just received my order from last month from the woot order. i live in canada and had a friend send it to me. anyways i am pleased with the performance so far but two dead pixel is annoying the heck outta me. i also notice that there are many horizontal pixel line from left to right spread evenly and only visible at a certain angle if you know where and what to look for. these also show up on the bottom to the top of the screen. anyone else know if this is normal? not happy with the quality from my first viewsonic product. if this is "normal" than i will go ahead with adding the mod and customization as right now it is unstable. thanks.
I am now on Nexus #4, serious issues with first 3. So #4 looks totally different. The colors are washed out and the UI seems weird. Such as when hitting the bottom of s scrollable screen, the yellow highlights aren't smooth but sorta jagged at the top. The icons at the top of the display (wifi icon, 4g icon, etc) are green. I'm almost positive the first 3 had white highlight not green. The stock nexus wallpaper also seems a bit weird up in yhr right corner. I'm running 2.3.4 but I'm almost certain so were the others since they were all purchased with s week. Please leave me some feedback guys, I'm begging ya. I can't see myself walking into the store to exchangeyet again. Oh and the keyboard is now two tones of grey which again I never noticed on the first 3. The actual letter keys are lighter grey than the function keys.

Well Which carrier? start there...did you root it..have u added a rom??
ALSO my NEXUS HAS GIVEN ME SERIOUS PROBLEMS.. WHICH makes my phone not functional. my problem is that the DATA connectivity has lost completely can brows or any simple thing that requires data.. tried numerous things, such as updating my profile which Fails, PRL, which fails, Every ## method i can think of. I also tried going back to stock VIA ADB... still no data, its as if i had a bad activation...AND SPRINT TECH are totally of no use..they cant even realize that the # methods are different..I am wondering if i need to enter anything in the settings??searched and searched google and i just think that the support on the device is so poor that google almost fails to recognize the problems in actual writing...Now im stuck wondering if i should go back to my EVO again!!!
I'm on sprint too and also wondering if I want me evo back. I do like the phone though and pure Google is awesome. I'm nit one of those people who just looks to break balls and get return after return simply because I'm able to. I've also had to purchase a new $30 zagg with each exchange so I'm out an additional $120. I can't imagine walking back into the store for my 5th nexus. They also said after 3 there not allowed to do exchanges for the same device, its time to get into a new one. I have read all the issues that the last couple of updates has brought to the color profile of the Nexus but I'm pretty sure the others were all on the same software. Can anyone confirm when 2.3.4 rolled out ota?
The icons at the top of the display (wifi icon, 4g icon, etc) are green. I'm almost positive the first 3 had white highlight not green.

They've always been green when you have a signal ... white while you are acquiring a signal.

Yep, always been this way. You probably didn't notice because of the incorrect colour space ...
"The colors are washed out"

If you've read the forums you'll know this is a divisive point: some think the over-saturated purple-heavy colour space used prior to 2.3 is better looking, and some think that the correct colour space is, of course, correct. You make your own mind up. Read the other threads on the topic.
OK so after a bit more time with the phone here's what I'm finding.
I can't remember what software version the first batch of nexus units had but this one is running 2.3.4. I've read that one if the updates has totally screwed up the colors on the Nexus S but this seems to have been one of the updates the TMO version got, I think the ns4g shipped with 2.3.4. Still need someone to confirm this because if my first 3 were running earlier software then its possible that's why this one looks very different. It doesn't seem to be s faulty display because its really only the UI that's affected. Photos sbd such do not look washed out. When outside the deep dark blacks and vibrant colors come back, head indoors and the washed out display is very noticeable. Could this be an issue with the auto brightness?? I could really use some help here guys, especially if someone knows for sure if yhr Sprint version has been updated to 2.3.4 or if it shipped with 2.3.5. Thanks
Most of your questions are found by Googling or searching in the forums, but ill tell you what I know.
The green means that you are synced. White means that you are connected to internet but you're not synced ie you get no Google services. Gtalk, email, etc etc. You want it to be green.
As mentioned above, the washed out colors are from 2.3.3 and on. I think they changed the colors a little bit in 2.3.4 but they will still look "washed out" to someone who came straight off 2.3.2 and before.
Also, the washed out was not tmo specific. It was changed in the 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 OS which means that anyone with those versions will see this. Nexus s is a pure Google phone so the updates are all the same, not network specific.
If being in the sun makes the screen brighter or changes how your screen looks, then yes, that is the auto brightness trying to save you battery life. It does the same to me too. It's annoying I know because sometimes on cloudy days it doesn't brighten all the way but I still can't see the screen as clearly. You can change the brightness of the screen though.
Hope this helps.

Zaggs have a lifetime warranty and even if you have to return your phone, take the Zagg off first and then go to Zagg.com and go to support and get a replacement. They will charge you shipping($3 I think) and as long as you send the old one back in within 60 days you will incur no more charges. Returning your phone is one of the options covered under their lifetime warranty.
I haven't seen any posts about this on here nor have I found anything on google with anyone having this issue, so I figured I'd post.
Basically I am experiencing this sort of blue color coming from the bottom of the screen. Namely I can only see this blue hazing when im viewing a white webpage like this one. Concluded even further that it is on the bottom because even after rotating the screen to the left it remains at the bottom part of the phone or now the right side when in portrait mode.
I was curious if anyone else had experienced this at all and if you guys think it is a worthy reason for a return. I was also wondering if I was mistaken and that this blue color was supposed to be there or occured from the pentile screen configuration. I would take a picture to try and show what I mean but I currently dont have a camera available to me. If I get a chance I will try and post one though so it will be more clear what im talking about. Sometimes this blue can be very annoying and is definitely noticable enough to bother me to the point that I felt I needed to post about it.
Also if I do want to return it for a new one I should be able to do that through Verizon still correct?
Anyway, please leave a comment if you are experiencing the same or if you have any info regarding this. I have been trying to debate whether im just seeing things or if anyone else has this on their screen. As of right now, though im highly considering returning for a new one because of it.

I've definitely seen phones where this happens and then it goes away over a couple days. Depending on how long the return period is I'd give it a day or 2. If it's still there I'd return it and get a new one.
That's supposed to be there..but it shouldn't be constant.. (is it ice cream sandwich cyan color?) it should only happen when you scroll to the end/bottom of a Page.. I had this with gingerbread also on my galaxy s2..
If this is what your talking about then don't worry its definitely normal..
