Hi everyone I am trying to move or make the HTC Home the bar ontop of the clock to show up battery indicatio etc. Ive tried HHC didnt find this kinda option would someone be able to give me some tips on how i could go along doing this or is it even possible?Here is a picture of way i mean.
Thanks
iPhone has a nifty app that displays actual dbm instead of bars for signal strength. Do we have anything like this?
Well I'm not sure if you know this, but you can view your db in the Phone Info settings menu. I'm guessing you want a hack to change your signals to a number at the top of the phone though?

Yup, exactly!
+1.. This would be more useful.
Bump. I really want this to be made.
So, i upgraded to Fresh 3.5 which is based off of the OTA 3.70. and now when i keep 4G on and there is no 4G signal around that notification icon sits on the top left corner of the task bar. it's a 4G icon with an exclamation point on it and when you pull the notification bar down it says "4G antenna is ON, tap to scan for 4G service" can someone please find a way to hide this icon. I like to keep 4G turned on all the time and don't want to keep seeing this every time the 4G connection drops. TIA.
I second this!!
We can't be the only two to find this annoying.

Drives me crazy, please remove this USELESS notification. Actually, I'm going to call Sprint and give them an ear full.

Sprint could get all information from user.. note phone is rooted and flag account
No they can't, I'll called them today, no flagging or anything. And remember rooting is not illegal, and they cannot flag your account for doing it. Their saying this is a feature to save battery life. I disagree. My thought is they couldn't figure out how to get the 3G to 4G handoff to happen properly so this is their solution. BTW, I've had nothing but problems with 4G stalling since I've owned the phone so this is still an issue.
For those of you wanting to lose the constant notification. It's in the framework-res.apk You can use Gimp to make it transparent and then push the framework back to your phone. Or you can pull your framework and make your own flashable zip. Then you can keep modifying anytime you want to change something with 7-zip.
It's actually not in framework-res, and making the image transparent keeps the spacing allocated and continues to display the notification text in the "notifications" section of the drop down window.
So, having said that, consider the attached (flash via recovery) EXTREMELY experimental. It "should" remove all the corresponding 4G notifications. What I don't know, is if in doing so, it breaks the ability to automatically reconnect when leaving and re-entering a 4G area. This isn't as easy to remove as icons to the right of the status bar, or even some on the left. This uses android's built-in notifications framework, which requires ongoing services, etc, to report activity on the top left side, and in trying to break its display, it is certainly possible more than just its display has been "broken".
Again, give it a shot and see if it works without any unintended side affects. But, be warned, as mentioned, it may. Just not sure, as I haven't been able to test it enough to verify it works as intended.
Nandroid before flashing so you can restore more easily if it doesn't work as intended.
It flashed just fine, I haven't left my 4G area yet so well see if it effects reconnection. I let everyone know. Now I just need to change the scanning frequency interval back to what it was before because it seems that the interval is longer now, thus they put a button on the notification bar to instantly activate it. Thank you Sir for your help, and a Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to everyone.
After looking at the wimax setting the values that changed are-
Previous- wimax entry delay(s)600
Current- wimax entry delay(s) 300
and
Handoff Threshold
Previous - 0
Current - 6
I changed my handoff back to 0 and well see what happens, and I'll try 3 and report back.
I'm also going to lower entry delay and see what it does to battery life.
The (Previous) settings are taken from a post from July, so who know what there were a few weeks ago.
I can confirm that the .zip file works perfectly. Gets rid of the notification and reconnection works fine. Still playing with the scan settings in regards to battery life.
Finally, back on the forum. Thanks for making this mod. Downloading now and will give it a try.

Cool, thank for the additional confirmation.
Sorry to be so noobish. I just got my first android phone and just (stupidly) applied this update today and I hate how it doesn't reconnect the 4g automatically and makes me rescan. I really wish I could make the 4g how it was before.
My phone is not rooted or anything its just an HTC evo with a white backing right out of the box and updated. What should I do?
I'd be more than happy to donate to the developer of this method just need a little help here please.

You beat me to the same question. While it is trivial to undo, how did you apply in the first place?
I guess it is feasible to extract the apk from the zip, and manually click to install from your sd card, but somehow I doubt this is what was done...
Either way, for future edification, since you would have to know what apk it is, if you installed it this way, why not just download a stock ROM and pull out the same apk and re-apply?
This is what I have done and attached.
This is for everyone who is going for an all blue look on roms such as SkyROCKeteer. I just changed the green date in the stock DigitalClock.apk to a blue one. I made 2 versions, one with a completely transparent background and one using the stock semi-transparent background.
Just replace your DigitalClock.apk in the System/App folder with one of these and reboot.
Would love a green one but transparent!!
for some reason i don't like the circle battery meter ; < i like the the green battery icon...
why so many permissions??
I didn't take the time to set the permissions. You can change them to rw-r-r, or leave them alone. It works fine either way.
im just curious to the mod. this seems the same thing done in i9100 verte's theme. is it a port from there?
This pairs up good with the ICS roms and themes. Thanks!

Question, I woke up this morning and the clock was off. It was 10:29am and the clock said 12:23am. I'm thinking maybe when you edit the clock and repackaged it, something was left out. I think the clock stops going on a certain standby time. Is anyone else getting this problem?

not me i tried it.. but ill repackage similar clock in my theme to make it a whole package..
No, this is not a port. I did not check before I made it to see if anyone else had already changed the green letters to blue, but a few people probably have by now.
Nothing was left out. I've been running this clock for over a month now and I've never seen it be off.
Well I woke up this morning and its running fine now. I guess something was up with my phone. Thanks.
dope, i like it.
Love it! Thank you.
How did you edit the line.9.png? The file is only a single pixel of color for me.
Hey guys. I was wondering if there is a 5 signal bar mod for liquid 3.2? That's one of the things that I really liked about bamf forevet, I know it's kind of weird to pick out something that small.. But, if anyone knows of a mod like that, please post the link or how to find it!

Icons
You can always download ROM toolbox pro from the android market. They have different icons that are different colors to pick from out of 1x, 3g, 4g, adb, battery, download, gps, signal, usb, vibrate, voicemail, and wifi.
It is, however, a $5 app.
Depends on how bad exactly it is that you want it.
Hopefully you can find a good battery mod for it.
Hope this helped.
