Where to find... - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, I know just enough to be dangerous. I just got my S5, but I have done some modding by replacing icons in the framework apk on the S3.
I have rooted the S5 with towel, so I can't flash mods and have stock TW ROM, but can make changes to an APK. I want to have more interesting icons for what they used to call the toggles, but basically the buttons you can use on the pull down, to turn on wifi, BT, set airplane mode and so on. I also want to change some of the icons in the status bar such as wifi signal strength, data up/down, BT and so on. I have looked around in twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk and have found a couple (I think they are what I am looking for, but have not tried to change one yet, mostly the status icons) but most (the toggles) I cannot find at all.
Also I used to have a 1% incrementing battery icon. Can I even use that with the stock ROM?
Thanks for any help.

Statusbar icons and Toggles are In the systemui apk.

3G icons disappear

I am trying to theme the 3g icons on my X and am doing it about the same way as Froyo. But in the SystemUI apk instead of framework. But for some reason they don't show up in the notification bar. Data and everything works fine but there is just no icon. I toggle data on and off and they come on for a little while but the are gone again. Anyone know why??

Wifi direct toggle in notification buttons?

I know you can decompile systemUI and change the order, add, subtract toggles from the notification pull down. Does anyone know if you can add things like wifi direct? It'd be kinda of nice instead of shuffling through settings. Or even add in a flashlight toggle?
Wifi direct
It will be nice to have Wifi direct toggle. In TW JellyBean you can always long press the Wifi icon in the notification bar and it will get you inside the Wifi menu and then you can choose Wifi direct from there.
I wanna bump this. I had kinda forgotten about this, but being snowed in the last couple days, I've been playing around and would still like to know if we could add new options in the stock notifications toggles.

[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.

I had to think about that for a while there, had them for ages. you can download them from here though

[THEME] ColorForce Theme 1.1

Here it is... Ladies and Gents, I bring you the ColorForce Theme
This is strictly notification and status bar icons. Nothing more, nothing less.
This should be compatible with most ROMs, I personally have only tested it with TriForceROM. However, if your current ROM already has SystemUI modifications, it's possible that it might not work properly and cause bootloops and/or System UI crashes. I'm not responsible for your device, you flash this at your own risk. Always have a backup.
Here's the run down:
This flash is completely customizable. Simply flash the zip file and you'll come to the AROMA installer and be greeted with lots of options. each option has a preview icon next to it to see what it will be modifying, but I will also eventually upload pictures of them all to see here as well.
Your first selection screen, you can pick which icons you wish you modify. the selections are as follows:
Battery Icons - These include 1% Incremental Battery Mod
Signal Icons - Phone Signal Strength Icons
Data Icons - Data Icons (1X, 3G, 4G LTE)
Data Activity Icons - In/Out Mobile Data Activity Icons
Wi-Fi Icons - Wi-Fi Signal Strength Icons
Quick Toggles Icons - TouchWiz Quick Toggles Icons
Bluetooth Icons - Bluetooth Icons
Misc Icons - Misc Icons (Alarm, GPS, etc.)
If you do not select an option, you won't be prompted to change it, and it won't change in your current configuration, this makes it very convenient to change something small. Let's say you have a decent theme setup, but you just want to change the battery icons.. well instead of changing anything or having to go through and select all the same options again... you simply put a check in only the battery icons and then pick your battery. It leaves the rest of your System UI in tact and simply changes the battery icons. Or maybe you only want to change the Wi--Fi and Data icons, but NOT change anything else, same thing, just select those two options, and it will only prompt you for those selections and only change those icons. Neat, right?
Now, moving along to the next step... if you selected to change the Battery Icons, you'll be prompted with the selection for the following Battery Types. The 1% battery mod is included in this theme, so you don't have to already have it installed or anything. Each selection has a preview icon next to it, so you can see what you're selecting.
Blue Circle
Castaway
Circle
ColorForce Theme
Honeycomb
Horizontal
Stock
Tacho
Two Bars
White
If you select ColorForce Battery, you will then be able to choose the color of the battery health gauge. Those colors are Green, White, Blue, Red, Pink, Purple, Yellow and Orange, and again, each one has a preview icon.
After you select your Battery, you will then be prompted for what's asking you do you want to change all the icons to the same color. This is simply asking you this: For the selections you picked from the first screen, (other than the battery) do you want them all to be the same color or not. Example: if you select Wi-Fi and Signal icons and nothing else and you want them both to be Blue, you'd say yes here and then select Blue at the next screen. Or if you selected them ALL and you want everything to be Pink, just tap yes and then tap Pink. This will skip having to pick the same color multiple times.
But this is where the major customization comes in... you can select them separately and have so many different combinations of colors! Simply press no here and you'll then be prompted for each individual option after this point.
Every single selection from here on out has 9 different colors to pick from. Again those are Green, White, Blue, Red, Pink, Purple, Yellow and Orange, and Stock. Stock is not a color but the actual Stock icons, so you can always return to ground zero if you like.
The final option is whether or not you want to have a transparent Notification Menu pull down. Some people like this, some people don't. This will make it a 50% transparent background. It removes the background of the quick toggle icons as well.
After you've selected all those options, you simply install it from this point. It will take your current SystemUI.apk file and mod it with the selections.
Again, you can always go back to stock by simply putting a check in all boxes, selecting the stock battery and selecting yes to all colors and then selecting stock.
Screenshots are available in the second post, I'll eventually build all the icons sets and post those as well.
Here's the download for the first version, 1.1 -> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407571189
Screenshots Attached.
And one more, just in case.
Man we are lucky (as a community) to have you. Thanks for all your efforts!

I don't know enough about what xposed does to say one way or another, but I would guess that it could have some issues with it.

I believe Xposed will over ride most systemUI mods
Pretttyyy sure the only thing Xposed won't over ride is 3Minit. Otherwise, yes, as Cerj said, it will most likely override other system UI mods. Test it out by uninstalling (or just unactivate) the Xposed Modules that make changes to the system UI, then flash this theme!
I tried flashing the circle battery. When I rebooted, I had stock battery with percent. I do run xposed and figured that that must be the problem. I uninstalled and tried again. Same result.

Sorry to say, no.
I haven't heard any success stories, which concerns me here, I see that the people that have tried this are running the custom frameworks, which I've been told doesn't work with this type of theme'ing.
Has anyone else had any luck with it?

I was able to get it working at least the battery blue circle. Had to disable xuimode in xposed. Give me a few days and I will try and test all of the options for you.

What do you mean by this? Can you show me a picture? could be a problem with the installer.
