[Q] Left Signal & Wifi Icons - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone knows how to move signal and wifi icon from right to left ?
What lines should I edit/add in xml ? If you know any thread/tutorial that teaches how to move, don't be hesitate to tell me.
Actually I'm trying to make my statusbar like iOS. Besides, it can also free up some space on the right side.
Thanks for advising/teaching/guiding.

You don't need to edit any XML files.
Go to the play store and download/install Wanam Exposed, it will have those options
for moving clock and a lot of other features not normally found in stock roms.

Read the description of it at the play store, it will tell you how to use it.
Good luck!

Notification toggle on status bar ?????

Hi there
How can I add notification shortcuts ( wifi, bluetooth,.....etc )( like that of CM7 ) to status bar on official froyo rom ?
\
\
\
Thanks in advance
one easy way to do it is to write an app that has persistant notifications that link to those settings. so you will always have a "button" in your notification tray
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/NotificationManager.html
Notifications can take different forms:
A persistent icon that goes in the status bar and is accessible through the launcher, (when the user selects it, a designated Intent can be launched)

Let me know if you need more. I can write some sample code when i get home

Looks good, but it's nice to write this stuff your self. Not too hard, good app to learn from.

What I was talking abt is A persistent icon on status bar.
I thought This could be easy but I was wrong, it's difficult.
If u can simplify the steps, I'll try to do it.
@j4velin
Regarding NT.apk, It's very good app But i wish it has direct access from status bar ( I mean when pressing for ex. WIFI, it opens another screen to activate WIFI )
actually it's not a problem, Just wishing
Thank U very much
I really appreciate your help
You mean like clicking the batter icon or the clock in the status bar and going to those corrosponding settings? There is no method for achieving this. If you try that now you will see that the notification tray starts to slide down.
From something awesome
I mean like the pic.
Maybe someone else knows but im pretty sure that cant be changed or added without modifying or changing the current rom. Or a home screen replacement (never used one so im not sure)..
From something awesome
OK
Thank u so much
wish you best of luck

[Q] icon problem

Icon Problem,
iv tried rebooting it and tht doesnt fix it ,this icon problem only happens when more than 1 icon is linked to another :/
Apps i installed recently are:
.androids! live wallpaper
.blue skies free live wallpaper
.nexus revamped live wallpaper
.stickmount
.touchpal keyboard
.bsplayer
i also noticed something strange in my installed apps which i never actually installed and there is no uninstall option
Iv attached 3 screenshots, thanks in advance guys, its driving me mad, is there a custom rom which is exactly the same as stock jellybean but trimmed of all the rubbish :good:
I'm not really sure what your question is. The icons you see are exactly what everyone sees if you put 2 or more icons in a folder. If you don't want icons in folders, touch the folder, drag each icon out of the folder and long-press the empty folder to delete it. You can also name the folder if you want to keep it with a description. The Korean keyboard icons come with the OS as system apps. Don't worry about them.

Agreed, I fail to see a problem here.
strange
so having a small black circle appear when 2 icons are linked together is normal, that's ridiculous, it would look miles better without the black circle it just doesn't look right, here is a better screenshot to show you what i mean - those black circles were not there yesterday i can assure you that.
what is the point of having a black circle when it just does not need to be there, am i going mad lol

It's called a folder! It's always been like that... And if you don't like it, use a custom launcher that allows you to change it. Check out mine using Apex launcher:

[Q] How put logo in ActionBar

Hello Guys,
My english is not very good, i'm sorry for that.
I'm developing an app and now i want to have an icon in my actionbar.
i cannot give an example (security from XDA) but de usual icon top left most apps have. Now i only have the title, but on the left side of the title i want the icon.
I tried this:
getActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.my_icon);
And i tried with android manifest to add: Android:icon and Android:logo to the activity and many other things But none of them works for me.
If i watch videos it looks like the icon should be there by default, but not in my case.
I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using the new Toolbar API?
Thats what i think. I'm not sure, how can i check that?
Do you mean AppCombat?
You need to add the android:icon attribute under the application element, not under the activity
Also the design guidelines state that the icon shouldn't be used if you are using the Toolbar API - there are other ways to get your apps branding across to the user.
Thanks for the answers.
But i tried to add the android:icon attribute to the application element instead of the activity element. (And i tried both)
But in none of this situations the icon will appear.
If i look on Google and Youtube i see many people creating a actionbar and have an icon by default. Strange that i don't have this.
I hope that you can help me, thanks.

ActionBar != Toolbar. By default the new Toolbar API does not have an icon - this is due to the new design spec (Material Design) that the Toolbar was created for.
You need to find out if you are using the new Toolbar API or the old ActionBar API.
If you're using the Toolbar API then as I already said, it goes against the guidelines to have an icon in the Toolbar now as the primary function of it used to be to get the app branding across to the user which there are now other ways to do using material design (using a custom color palette etc).
If you are really stubborn and insist on going against the guidelines you have to use the below code to set an icon on the Toolbar:
Code:
toolbar.setLogo(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Thanks for your answer, it helped me.
Now i use:
PHP:
getSupportActionBar().setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Now i want the left arrow on the left side of the icon, and using:
PHP:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(true);
But it won't work. Can you help me with that?
Thanks!

Add this to your code:
Code:
getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

Is there an app to change status bar icons?

As the title states, I've installed Screwd and I'm going for a red theme.. I've changed the clock and nav bar buttons via the ROM options, but there doesn't seem to be anything for the battery, WiFi signal, mobile signal and other potential icons which pop up.
Quite simply I'd like to edit them, an app would be preferable, I'm aware that I can edit some files to get the desired colours although I'd like to avoid that as its a bit of a ballache if you don't do that a lot..
Any ideas?
Thanks.
PS: I won't use xposed so that option is out.
Edit: just realised I hadn't put "Colours" I don't want to edit the image of the icons, just the colour.
Thanks again.
I'd check out layers.
However I use xposed for all theming needs. I would reconsider using it

Would layers be functional with a CM based ROM ? AFAIK screwd is CM based so not sure if this would work..will look into it cheers.
Edit: OK so as far as i can see, it is compatible but it doesn't alter the status bar icons..at least not on their own. Unless I'm not seeing something.
And no I wouldn't use xposed it murders battery life.
This is as far as I've got with it. ROM toolbox doesn't even have icons for cm13. So annoying.
Any other ideas
Anyone???

Sprint version, static GPS icon

Quick question:
I have the Sprint version. I've noticed a GPS icon that doesn't seem to go away from the status bar. I've searched around and found that all other published screenshots on forum/blogs etc (would be on the GSM version) do NOT have this icon. It will get crossed out if I turn off Location services, but will not go away.
Anyone have ideas for how to remove these? I'd prefer not to Root, but will if necessary. I know you can root-->xposed to modify these icons. Just trying to make sure I'm not missing a menu somewhere that lets us turn these off (BT, NFC, GPS icon)
Thanks in advance -

This must be your first Sprint HTC phone. That is called reticle icon for location. To remove it completely you need to install a custom ROM like Badboyz. It is removed by default.
It's been a while. I had the M7. I get a new phone about every 6mo. I'm mostly a Nexus fan, but when new good devices come along, I like using them for a while. That circle (along with the NFC and BT icons) are essentially worthless. Wish they'd enable the System UI tuner from Marshmallow and allow us to turn those icons off.
Not sure I want to root/ROM just yet. I'll probably wait a bit. Thanks for the reply.
