I find AOSP/Oneplus signal icons (both mobile and WiFI) pretty bad. With other devices I had in the past there were plenty of mods to change them, from xposed modules to substratum themes, when not customization integrated inside custom ROMs. Substratum themes with signal icons declined to the point I could not find any which support them nowadays (in fact, I'm currently using Swift Installer, which is pretty good, but is not able to modify signal icons in any way).
I don't need battery icons mods, for it I just want text for knowing percentage of battery left (curiously there are many mods for battery icons, which I really don't want). Did anyone know a way to change mobile/Wifi icons properly? Those plain, flat, unclear icons are extremely boring...
Thank you in advance

For anyone who's tried out the dev FroYo ROM, you've probably noticed that the AM/PM in the status bar is smaller than in 2.1, which does actually create some room in the status bar for other icons. Now, obviously this is a pretty small difference but I'm wondering if there are any modders here with smali experience/know-how that would know how to change this? I know myself and I'm sure plenty of others would really appreciate it!
Been browsing around here and following the skyraider and all of ID's threads and there was something I felt was missing from both the sense and vanilla roms. I spent a bunch of time on the regular android theming threads, and this is what I have created so far.
It's in no way a fully polished, and easily flashed or MM'd theme (i don't like the idea of using MM)
See the pictures below for what I've gotten to.
What it consists of:
LauncherPro Plus
Apps Organizer
SwitchPro
TAJM
BattStatt
Pure Calendar
Desktop Visualizer
MinimalText icons
LauncherPro icons (from their website)
Zegoe Font
Sweet Chicago skyline background
I used LauncherPro to get a more customizable screen layout and remove the notification bar. I also love that it lets me change the icons for the dock (and the swipe gestures are nice)
Apps Organizer condenses a lot of my used apps, and Apps Organizer lets you pick custom icons as well
I used to use extended controls and SMODA widget but i didnt like SMODA's colors, so i switched to SwitchPro because of its working 3g on/off (a must since I need my battery to last a full day while I'm on campus). You cant clearly make the buttons out on the bottom, but they are nearly invisible until i touch them and they become white. Might not be everyone's liking but I dont need to see them.
Pure Calendar was used since I rely on my calendar and gtasks, and it was transparent which is what I really wanted.
Here's where I could use some help
I would like to be able to change all app icons to grayscale without using MM. I realize this might mean replacing files within apks for programs which wont be entirely possible
I wish the text size for TAJM was customizable, its too small and I would like BattStatt and TAJM to better use the home screen real estate
Package this into something more people can use/ customize without having to download all of the apps seperately or even use the apps (flashable?)
Still need a new lock screen. I liked the rotary one but I dont think that will look as nice since it uses a gray transparent bg. If it could be fully transparent, just leaving the two buttons, and the music controls either be light gray for off and white for on, that would be awesome.
I'm open to ideas and criticisms, just spent a few hours this weekend trying to gather all I needed but if someone knows a better way I'd love to know.
If there is any interest in this, I could package up the icons and fonts (sorry can't do the apks since most are paid apps). Just need to collect the info for the creators so credit can be given.
I would like to partially design my own themed icons but I need to know how many icons are used in total.
A number would be nice, A list of them all would be nicer.
Also a list of dual use icons if they are used such as highlighted version or something.
A note on sizes would help too, it seems you can use smaller icons but presumable some more than others have size restrictions.
That way I can start making my own. Not sure if I could actually create the theme by myself, I am new to the android really. But presumably if the icons were made in advance it should not be difficult.
I'm modding my icons with UOT Kitchen and had some questions about the icons in SystemUI.apk! I'm using a Samsung Infuse 4g with Emancipation ROM which is based off of Gingerbread 2.3.6!
Basically I want to know the difference between the icons that say "fully" and the ones that don't. For both signal bars and data icons. I assume it means fully connected to the network, but what is the difference? It's a hassle making new icons for "fully" connected status.
Also, why don't animated icons work? I can modify signal bars and data icons but can't get animations to work. The suffix "_anim0" is added to the first one, up until "_anim19" but only the first one shows.
I know I can use icon packs, but that doesn’t reskin all icons, also this trend is making its way to the quick toggles on pie.
Here’s my beef, theses icon frames make the icon smaller to fit within the fram, rather than the big beautiful and unique icons from nougat. Also, having the same frame around all icons makes them more difficult to distinguish from each other.
The setting has always been here to not have icon frames... let us have that choice. Why does everyone insist on copying Apple?
