[Q] Small Status Bar Icons - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any mods or themes that change the status bar icons to a smaller form, as seen in the IO videos and examples? They look so much neater than the current ones. Picture below to clarify.

That is just a mockup and not an actual screenshot.
You could try decompiling or using a CM12 Theme (not sure if a theme would be able to do it yet since it's fairly restricted at this point and I'm not sure what method is used to define the size).

He is not asking how to do this, but is there an app or mod that can. Also CM theme will not work on Cataclysm.

Exactly. There's an Xposed module used for modding the status bar icons, but of course that wont work on Lollipop. If there's another app that makes it possible to mod the icons, then it probably wouldn't be too hard to do.

There are programs, that can do this. For example: Photoshop, Corel Photo-Paint, etc.
And no, it's not too hard.

Decompile Systemui.Apk edit icons via Paint/Photoshop. Then recompile.
Make a backup, systemui mods can cause bootloop.

You don't need to decompile. You can just rename .apk to .zip. Pull icons out, edit them and put them back. Rename .zip to .apk and you are done.
If you are using Total Commander, you don't even have to rename .apk to .zip an vice versa.

Yeah. But you can do this only with apps from system dump. It won't work on any update or other apps from Play Store.

I might try to make up some icons. Not sure if it's possible to space then out slightly by adding padding, but I'll try.

[MOD][21-11-11] Ravens Battery/Icon Mod for KJ4/KK9 [UOT]

Make sure you do a back up before you flash.
As the title states, it was made with/and for the Odexed KJ4/KK9 framework(s) using a mixture of the UOT and Photoshop, These changes are what I'm using and just thought I'd share it.
I didn't like the green so much, so changed most things to blue, I will keep updating it as time goes by and I'll be changing what I can to this easy on the eye blue.

I have a couple of things I have to tweak to make it a bit more uniform throughout but It's cool enough for now, there is also a change to the window animation to a "Flying" animation, can't really show you a pic of that.
Again if you flash this, Back up, back up...BACK UP! As with most flashable mods, I can't be held responsible if things go pear shaped.
Copy the zip to the device and flash with CWM.

Yeayyy,. im success install it and its look good. Thanks
Lovely - thanks!
I have updated the modification to change the colour of the shortcuts from the status bar drop down curtain and make the colours a bit more uniform throughout, still can't find the blasted place to change the status bar background to an image however, If anyone knows, feel free to give me a heads up.

You need to decompile the apk's with apk manager (need adb installed) then, in the decompiled apk, open it and go to /system/res/drawable-hdpi (or mdpi, if it's that), and look for the icon in there.
Easier way....copy those apps whose icons you want to change to your hard drive. change extensions from .apk to .zip and then go the /system/res/drawable-hdpi as mentioned above.

very nice screens
how did you change the battery icon in the notification bar???
Thank you, very easily. Just go to uot.dakra.lt/ and follow the guide (HOW TO).
Basically you have to: chose the mod you like (not all of them works though - I've succeeded with battery, icons:emoticons and status bar (but not power buttons), popup, fonts (but not windows animations) and upload your: framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk, twframework-res.apk.* Kitchen will do everything for you. GO to PICKUP to receive your zip and flash it with cwm.
*You can get them with root explorer or via adb:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/framework/twframework-res.apk
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
thanks

I am fine to do this, but just wanted to make sure
But I would definitely recommed this moded launcher.

It's still Home launcher (Sony) but with great features and possibilities.
You can hide icons, change icons, themes...
Change number of rows and columns in app drawer and home screen...

Sure. You just need to decompile both my SystemUI and the one from @tr1gg3r84, copy the % battery images and the stat_sys_battery_charge.xml and stat_sys_battery.xml from tr1gg3r84s to mine, recompile, zipalign, done.
Or you can use the attached file, if you want different battery images download them then it's just simple matter of dragging and dropping them in to the drawable-xhdpi folder (use STORE as the compression method) and replacing your new SystemUI with the one already on your Phone.
These are the ones I've used for the attached file...

[Mod] [XT1060] [02Apr14] VZW Dev Ed Holo Blue Purge (Sliders, Checkboxes, etc)

This is my work in progress for the guide listed here. Credit goes to @enricocid and, by proxy, everyone else in that thread. I've finished framework-res.apk, systemUI, and Settings. I don't know if I feel like messing with the rest. Perhaps I'll do MMS.apk in the future for the lulz.
1. AOSP-like Status Bar with 4G instead of Verizon's gaudy one. (credit @chaoslimits)
2. White accents in lieu of 33b5e5 (most notably check boxes, toggles, volume sliders, etc)
I have not modded apps like dialer mostly due to the fact that I like them being different. The blue isn't distracting and awful everywhere, but in the system itself, it is.
(backup current Settings.apk/odex, SystemUI.apk/odex, framework-res.apk)
Instructions: Download, unzip, replace, set permissions rw-r-r (recommend using TWRP's file manager or adb since replacing your framework-res.apk is going to make the normal UI unusable if you perform this within android), reboot
No ETA on a fully flashable recovery .zip
I also have only a Verizon Dev Ed to test on, and, no, this will not work on XT1053/XT1058. I may create one at a later date, but probably not for 4.4.2 since I don't think I'll be flashing for a while. Sorry, folks. The guide I've linked in the intro paragraph is more than enough if you're adventurous enough. Both SystemUI and Settings are Odexed now.

Yeah I don't use Xposed for that very reason; I don't want to sacrifice ART runtime.
Your mods should on ART as long as you you odex the files. You didn't want to do the mod to SMS app? That one was fairly risk free too.
Also you can take the zip from my AOSP mod and replace the files for an easy flashable zip.

Get me a copy of your framework-res.apk, systemui.apk/odex, settings.apk/odex and I'll have a look when I get time. You may need to re-odex yourself, but I believe my device may be able to odex it if the $BOOTCLASSPATH is the same. At any rate, I'll get you a deodexed and an odexed version, just asking you don't get your pitchfork out if the odexed fc's.
Is you internal storage bar in Settings/Apps blue or white with this mod?
Thanks.
