Mods for Stock, Rooted Phone - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am wondering if anyone knows what mods to use on stock rooted firmware to allow changing the battery icon and mod the clock for color, position etc. These are really the only changes I make to a phone after installing a custom rom. I also like the fact that custom roms have the bloatware removed. I can live with out using a custom rom if I can make the simple changes like. Thanks.

Rom Toolbox is a great app that will let you change battery icon and things of that sort.

oh really? I guess I will have to explore that add a bit more. I have used it int he past but not for that. Will check that out. Would love to hear other suggestions as well.

Fire it up and swipe over to the Interface page, and tap the Statusbar Icons button. Enjoy.

[REQ] App to put Power control in status bar like MIUI rom

Firstly, each to there own, but I'm not a fan of the MIUI rom, I've tried a few builds but its just too much like an iphone layout for me.
However there was one part I really liked & that was the power control functions in the pull down status bar: Wi-Fi, 3G, Vibrate, Silent, Bluetooth etc. like you would get on a widget.
Having them on the status bar was a great idea.
I know certain roms like espresso have it on, but was wondering if anyone knew of an app that can do the same?
I have so far found apps in the market that can do calendar or Wi-Fi, but nothing that can do everything.
Any ideas?

Aah okay, that'll explain why I haven't seen them lol. Thanks
Thanks, but I'm getting tired of flashing new roms now, I'm back on stock at the moment, just thought someone may of known of an app, doesn't even have to be as fancy as MIUI just put an option in the notification bar.
Maybe I'll look at the 4G rom when it's a full stable release...

Im thinking there could be a way to do that using Tasker (since you can do most things with it). Something to set a notification that if you click it can define an event or something of the sort. If you have zero programming knowledge whatsoever then Tasker might be a little difficult for you though.

[THEME][METAMORPH][ZIP] Gingerbread Theme

Both of these come out of the Hero GSM forum, but they are proven to work for us too. These are the same theme, you just have a choice about which way you apply it: MetaMorph or flashable .zip
MetaMorph Method
Original Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864931
Just follow the directions in that thread, and you will be good to go. I have tested those, and they work just fine. The obvious advantage there is that you can choose what features you want. Note, this will not work for people running aospMOD because the theme needs the ability to change the font color. This is allowed in the CM roms and not in aospMOD.
Flashable .zip Method
Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864451
After you apply the .zips you like from that, you might want to apply this MetaMorph: http://www.mediafire.com/file/d9j2fiddrg0gq9y/Gingerbread_CM61_Visual_Fix.zip (credit to BlaqkAudio for this). It gives you more accurate signal strength, although it isn't necessary for the theme to work.
Finally, you are going to want to apply the Status Bar tweak. To do that click menu > Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > User Interface > Tweaks Extras > Select a theme > gingerbread. Let it apply, reboot, and you are done!
Apparently, there is an issue after installing the .zip version of this theme, the Roaming Indicator On text on the lockscreen and notification pulldown. Try reading this post in the Cyanogen forums: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/2225-roaming-indicator-on-htc-cdma-hero/page__view__findpost__p__23422 It worked well for me when I had that issue.
Have fun!
Yes, this is a double post, but I have a question about metamorphs in general that directly relates to this theme. I applied the animations morph w/o knowing what the animations looked like. Now that I know what they look like, I don't like them. I made a nandroid before morphing, but its giving me a md5 mismatch. How do I revert? Is there a stock morph? Thanks for the help I did ask this in the other thread also, just for the record.
EDIT: nevermind, i just reflash CM6.1, and they are all gone. its good now
Won't work for AOSP because you can't change the font color the same way you can with CM.

Good to know. Thanks for that.
Thanks for the heads up. Only theme I have ever used, looks really good overall.
Dang, would love this on aosp!
theme updated to 1.3.1. individual zips for each part, froyo animation revert packages, fix tab bugs, fix font location.
a question someone might know the answer to: is it possible that we could apply the .zip that is the base of this metamorph theme? id much rather have the full theme, considering its much easier to apply. but i dont know, its in the gsm hero forum, would that mess up stuff for us? i dont wanna try it, if you didnt get the hint. even with a nandroid.
We may need someone to create a signal fix for this, since CDMA signal strength is different from GSM signal strength.
EDIT: Also, does anyone have screenshots to show what notifications look like? For instance, when I applied the CM Black stock theme, the standard signal, battery, etc icons didn't look that great. I was wondering what stock SMS, email, etc notifications would look like.
I flashed the update zip mentioned in the post with no gsm-cdma horror story. I did have to manually change the clock color, and I don't think the zip changes widgets, but I still have the bar, pop ups, and a working phone.
**Edit, got the notification bar text and clock fixed, by selecting the correct xml in ui tweaks
I just applied this and it's super slick. Here's a "signal fix" I quickly whipped up: http://www.mediafire.com/file/d9j2fiddrg0gq9y/Gingerbread_CM61_Visual_Fix.zip

"KrispysGingerbread_1.3_Animation.zip" contains the gingerbread-style animations metamorph and you should put that in the "AndroidThemes" directory on your sdcard as well. This package also contains a metamorph with the original Froyo-style animations in case you want to go back.
Do not like the font that's included, installed this font with Type Fresh and boy is it a huge, huge improvement:

The only files you need to extract out of the .gz (You will want the first download, ubuntu-font-family-sources_0.68+ufl.orig.tar.gz) are Ubuntu-R and Ubuntu-B.

thanks for providing that, it looks AMAZING.
I used to use it the other month, but stopped because it seemed like a update to Titanium broke it a bit (in the program, some letters would appear as boxes), so I changed back to default, and forgot all about it until flashing this theme, and deciding to give it another shot. So far, definitely hasn't broken anything for me. It's almost like the font that comes with this theme, but bolder I suppose? Definitely more spacing in between the letters and isn't as hard to read, that's for sure.

[Q] Home screen(s) panel dot(s)

Hi all,
I tried searching the forums and google on this but couldn't find an answer.
I've included a picture just to give you guys a visual. (Guess I can't show you since I'm a noob)
It's the dot(s) that is an indicator when you have 1 or more home screens.
My question is - is there a way to remove the dot(s)/indicator? By way of an app or custom ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If I understand what you are saying a custom launcher like apex or nova should take care of it. They will have a bar, but you can hide it.

Those will work on the stock rom, but not the stock launcher. I guess I should mention you may not be able to use touchwiz widgets with them. But to keep your launcher and rom but remove those would involve code manipulation. I'm not saying no one has done it, but I haven't stumbled upon that type of tweak.

HTC Sense StatusBar Icons for N5?

Ah, I know, I might get killed, but is there a way to get HTC Sense StatusBar Icons (network, wlan, battery) to the N5? I liked them a lot on my HTC devices and miss them now.

There is a way, but it would look really weird with the other parts of stock android. All you have to do is decompile the HTC systemui.apk and the N5 apk, then swap all the status bar PNGs.

Hi,
And you need a rom with Theme Chooser, maybe the OP don't want to flash a rom like CM..., for sure it will be more difficult.

But he didn't state what ROM he had. He only asked how he could get sense icons.
Hey, thanks everybody for the suggestions. I'm running stock 4.4.2 and want to stay there. Xposed and Gravity serves all my modding needs. I will have a look to ex-themer. Another launcher is no option though. My N5 runs so stable and smooth (far far better than my previous HTCs with multiple custom roms). Maybe I really should extract the icons from the UI app. Only question is what happens with scaling.

Nothing happens because both phones are XXHDPI. You have to get the images from the HTC One or another HTC phone with a 1080p screen. You should try it, but make a backup so if it doesn't work you don't have to flash the entire factory image.

3D Toggles

These icons are for those that like something a little different than the regular stock toggle icons. This just a little something i like to change on lots of my roms. If you are of the minimalist crowd, you obviously won't be interested in these. I have a NCG and have no idea if it works with other firmware. As always make a backup first. It will also change the Wifi and data icons as shown in the attachment. One is for a black background the other is stock. These are Sammy Dasko's toggle icon and pas2001's Wifi and Data icons. Both are from the Galaxy S4 international forum.
Edit: I'll be uploading additional themes off and on. I'm sharing the link to my dropbox folder that has all the toggles shown below and a few that aren't. If you want a different combination of one of these, let me know and I'll see what I can do. There are more down below. I have almost 100 different combinations and designs. These are in the common themes and apps area. For those on NI2, the only way to get these to work like they should is to flash the very first zip in the Dropbox before flashing anything else. This is a modified systemui that was made by EMSpilot to make the NI2 more themable.

I have safestrap and they are flashed through recovery. The labels are confusing. I hadn't intended to do more than a couple but got kind of carried away. Any of them can be flashed over with no problem but I'll see what I can do with the naming of them.
I've remamed them the best I could. I hope this makes it easier.
I forgot that some of these have pas2001 shut down animations. This is called sparks but it says Galaxy S4. I'll take them out if most of you want me to though they are pretty cool. To make the bootanimation work you have to use a root explorer and go to system/bin and set the permissions of the bootanimation file to 0755. Otherwise your bootup will seem like it is taking a while.
Edit: I took the bootinations off the zips.
Thank you for this mod, been looking to spice things up a bit, this is perfect. Curious though, all your pics show a flash light toggle, my toggles don't have it. Tried the toggle edit menu, but it's not there. Any ideas? By the way, I am running Rick's Rom NE version. Not to be picky, but noticed some of the text is cut off on the bottom of the toggles when you have them horizontally in the notification pull down.
Nice work bro....I can confirm that these work on my GNF1 international rom on the T-Mobile M919.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm not sure why the toggle names would be cutoff. They show fine on mine. I'm running Ricks ROM also (ricksrom8-NGC, not ne9). I have the retail version and the flashlight toggle shows on mine and works as well.
Hey, I moved these to the common themes and apps area for the Galaxy S5 as these work on other carriers as well. I have lots of new ones. I have tried to rename them in number order as they are listed (as they are in the common apps area). I also have a thread of bootanimations made by pas2001. He's great so check them out when you get a chance.

Try flashing this. If the flashlight toggle doesn't show up, you just don't have that option built into your rom.

I love your 1-Sammy-icons-4.4.2(8-7-14)BlueCubebackGround_Black-icon.zip toggle them, but would like to have status bar retained original (e.g. status, wifi, bluetooth, data and etc.).
If you want 3d toggles flash a numbered zip that doesn't have an "A" after the number. If you know which numbered one you like, tell me and I will make you one with no status bar changes.

FYI flashed 1-Sammy-icons-4.4.2(8-7-14)BlueCubebackGround_Black-icon.zip...it doesn't have A after the number, but status bar icons changed..
Try 1b and see if that gets you what you want (flash stock restore first).
