6 Bar Signal in status?

Is it Possible to use the 6 Bar signal strength instead of the 4 Bar? I have been successful in renaming them to the 4 bar names and making them show. But i also know they are reporting wrong levels. Is there a way fix this so its correct?

Is this to hard to do? No one know how to do this?

wifi icon in notification bar on ICS

I've updated to the official HTC ICS release, using the flashable ROMs created on here from the OTA file.
All is great, loving ICS so far.
One thing I've noticed, the little icon on the top bar to show I am connected to a wifi point is grey, with just the little circle bit white , as though it was a low signal strength. This is with it next to the router. Apps like network signal info aren't showing any signal %age at all, not even a 0. It's working fine though, speedtest apps give excellent scores.
When I go into wifi settings and scan for access points, those are correct. My router is fully white, whilst ones around on the street are various levels of whiteness.
It's just that notification icon, and the signal strength in apps, that is not showing.
Any ideas?

Reboot, and then it's back to normal.

Too simple

Are you kidding? As the phone is rebooting I'm thinking did they mean the phone or the router. When the phone comes back on and all my bars are there I'm like could it have been simpler? No I guess it couldn't have.

[Q] how to disable the autohide function of the status bar icons?

Does anybody know if there is a way to keep the status bar icons visible in wp7.5? Is there some option to disable the autohide function via some registry changes?
I know that this is against the minimalistic approach of wp7 and that it's easy to see the signal strenght and wi-fi signal icon, etc. just with one tap on top of the screen, but I sometimes like to have such information just at a glance, without one extra touch... especially that I often have to deal with very weak signal...
Anybody help please? I would appreciate it very much...

Not Possible atm
unless they push the setting in an update, you have to be content with the tapping top middle screen

I would also like this to happen; and there is always a way either by the way of a reg hack or a dll hack. Please someone do this

Currently not possible. But just a FYI.. If there is no signal, top bar will be automatically shown. Same applies for WiFi indicator as well.

That's bad news. Maybe it's my personal opinion but I don't like having to swipe to see this information plus it leaves an akward looking space. Like I said maybe it's just me.

But for me, it presents much cleaner screen and I don't have to look at those symbols anytime. If there's an issue that needs user attention, it will be shown automatically. That's really cool imo. But We have to live with it for now.

[Q] Status Bar AOKP Icons

So I have decided i wanted to change out the factory status bar data icons for the ones in sense (i like those 10x better)
so playing around with the SystemUI.apk I was able to do so, but the icons now overlap the signal icons. I have tried decompiling the framework and using that method to shift over the data icons to where the wifi icon normally shows up BUT instead it not only moves the data icons but it also moves the signal bars over along with it. Is there any way I can "break" the data icons away from the signal bars? and have them both in independent spaces instead of being "connected" together.
Screenshot attached below.

So been tinkering with it a bit more, no matter what I do with the icons refuse to go to the left of the signal icon but can make them go to the right of the signal icons no problems. If I even attempt to try making the icons align to the left it just drags the signal icons with the data icons.
anyone have any ideas?
heres a screenshot of what i did manage to get so far.

Replace the gingerbread style icons and then select the alternate GB style signal bars in ROM Control.

Will have to give that a go didnt even think about that one, thanks!

That turned out almost perfect, the icons are where they should be, when it polls for data the icon gets small but thats something i can live with just glad i can be rid of the AOKP data icons

What icon set is that? If you don't mind me asking? I really like those folder icons.

Signal Indicator Modification

I am looking for an app or mod that would allow you to change the range of dbm that the signal indicator responds to, i.e., rather than having a range of -130dbm(low) to -50dbm(high) to determine how many bars are shown, change the values to -120dbm to -80dbm.
Anyone come across something like that?
Thanks!
