Hey Guys! I own a T-Mobile G955U which is rooted and I thought that the T-Mobile 4GLTE indicator looked ugly as hell so I searched around a bit and found out you can change it to any other carriers style (You can do this even one Exynos models) or you can remove it completely and have the normal Samsung LTE and 4G icon.
This does require root and basic knowledge of system and csc files so be prepared.
The file we're looking for is in "/system/omc/TMB"
Your folder structure in /omc might looks different, if you see a ton of folders with 3 letter names, you have a Multi CSC installed and have to go into the folder with your active CSC name on it (TMB for me).
Once you're in your active CSC's folder, look for a file called "cscfeature.xml", open this with a good text editor (I like Solid explorer built in one)
Now you can add lines for different icons or remove them.
If you have a US carrier phone, look for these two lines:
Code:
<CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOpBrandingForDataIndicator>[B][U]TMB[/U][/B]</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOpBrandingForDataIndicator>
<CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOpBrandingForIndicatorIcon>[B][U]TMB[/U][/B]</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOpBrandingForIndicatorIcon>
The bold and underlined "TMB" is the branding of your indicator icon. You can change this to other carrier codes to make it look like their version.
Examples:
VZW - Verizon
SPR - Sprint
TMB - T-Mobile
ATT - AT&T
etc...
You only have to change those lines if you want another carriers icons, if you want the default Samsung icons then delete both lines from the file.
Now after deleting, you will have default 4G and 4G+ icons.
If you want it to say LTE instead of 4G, add this line to the end of the file before the "</FeatureSet>" line:
Code:
<CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOverrideDataIcon>LTE</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOverrideDataIcon>
Remeber: I'm not responsible if you **** your **** up, just posting my findings since I've been looking everywhere for a way to change this.
Also to make it more clear, you can also get the US carrier icons the Exynos model, all the icons are included even in the Exynos SystemUI.apk
What CSC would I put if I want to use International icons. It's for a theme

Remove the two lines like I said in OP, that way it's stock international and it says 4G or 4G+. If you want it to say LTE, add the last line I mentioned in OP.
EDIT: This doesn't change your CSC, it modifies your current one to show different data indicator icons.

Are you referring to the signal bar or data indicator? This changes the indicator only.
I believe if you want to change the signal bar, you have to remove this line:
Code:
<CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigMaxRssiLevel>5</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigMaxRssiLevel>
No direct idea why but the Verizon LTE icon has my heart lol thanks for this!

It changes back to the stock/internation 4 bar indicator. The US models have a 5 bar indicator.
Or if you want the 5 bar indicator you can add that line.
How to change?
This can be easily changed with a substratum theme FYI. Doesnt even need root.
Checkout "ststusbar themes for samsung" on play store.
mine is encrypted any solutions for this?
Apparently this file is encrypted in Oreo. I've been looking for ways to edit this without using Andromeda and I believe I'm running out of options.
Also, I just noticed that this thread is for rooted phones. I'm not rooted (company phone) so maybe Andromeda is my only option.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

How do I change mine to look like the VZW? I tried to remove that line and replaced it with those 2 lines to look for in US Versions but I put in VZW,but instead it switched to the stock ones with 4g/4g+View attachment 4604278

I realize this thread was closed but I had a couple questions about this.. this mod also changes the LTE icons so when my icon changes to H+ is it just the icons that change or does this mod actually effect your speed since you're changing the model and carrier in your build.prop file? Also in the play store it shows your phone as I9505 instead of I337. Is there a way to remove the at&t without changing the icons?

"2. Locate this line (AT&T model):
ro.product.device=jflteatt
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
ro.product.name=jflteuc
3. change it to:
ro.product.device=jflte
ro.product.model=GT-I9505
ro.product.name=jfltexx"
Would ONLY changing product.device and not the others cause problems? I read somewhere just removing the att at the end of jflteatt would work? I would try myself but with being on mf3 I can't flash firmware if something goes wrong and I'm not very knowledgeable about build.prop and rooting.. the only other phone I've rooted was the LG p769. Thanks for any information..

The only line you need to change is this one ro.product.name=jflteuc
Change it to ro.product.name=jfltexx or ro.product.name=jfltetmo and the AT&T name goes away.
Your signal icons will change to the default set, but it does not impact the signal at all. H+ simply means you're not in an LTE area.
You will get an LTE icon of you're on LTE.
Short of editing the SystemUI, there is no way to keep theAT&T versions as they are tied to the AT&T branding.
Changing the other lines as mentioned above can cause issues with the voicemail button on the dialer.
Hello,
My carrier has a very long name (Bouygues Telecom), which takes a lot of place in the notification Bar.
Therefore, as soon as I have more than 3 notifications icons, it gets overloaded
Is there a way to remove the carrier name from the notification Bar ?
I checked the build.prop, but didn't seem to find something related (I'm on clean ROM for AT&T 1.1).
Thanks in advance.

Does your note 4 have download booster toggle ? As I don't have that toggle in my note 4
If you guys have it, I need your help.. Any variants of note 4 you own wether it's exynos or snapdragon, I'll still try it..
I want to add Download Booster toggle in my note 4 notification panel, but I can't find the methods
I already try solution that available for S5 by adding "WifiCalling;" in settingsstorage.apk>setting.db>system>notification_panel_active_app_list via SQLite editor.
If there someone that have download booster toggle in their note 4 and can paste what's written in notification_panel_active_app_list, I'll give my big thanks to him/her.
Thank you

On N910C : swipe down on notification area with 2 fingers and you should see Download Booster. Tab on edit icon (pencil icon at top right corner) and you should be able to re-arrange toggles the way you want.

I have the 910H variants, and by default it isn't there.
I already flash the system, recovery, kernel, and csc of 910C variants in my device, but it still didn't show up.
That's why I also ask if someone can open sqlite editor and paste it here, so I can modified mine and show it in my phone
N910H is the 3G-only variant, hence Download Booster being absent - it's intended to be used with LTE, although it does of course work with 3G (and even 2G) as well. Dare say you'll need to wait and see whether other varisnts' ROMs can eventually be ported to your variant.

Well, mine is actually 910H, but I have 910C Official Stock ROM running in my phone.
I have the download booster menu in settings and it can show the notification when it's active (haven't try it though, I'm run out of data so can't really test it), but only missing the toggles in notification panel that make it easier to On/Off those feature
Handset; SGNIII
Model; SM-N9005
ROM; Stock N9005XXUENE3
Ver; 4.4.2
So the first thing is the notification font size.
I don't know why, but it's huge.
Edited density in buildprop, no change.
I installed a 3rd party app to modify.
It did the job everywhere else, except notifications.
Also sub text in settings is a bit bigger than regular.
This is all clear in the screens attached.
Q; How do I modify the notification font.
Q; How do I specifically modify the grey settings sub text.
Along the way, I've somehow acquired an S5 style settings UI.
My NIII settings - while ugly - contain my stylus settings.
Now I have none.
The S5 mod shown in screens isn't enabled.
It's also only for quick settings and recents.
I haven't made any other systemUI changes besides colour theme.
How is this possible.

This don't look one STOCK ROM of SM-N9005 with android 4.4.2 for sure or you installed some settings/appearance mods. Reflash stock rom for solve your problems.

If I wanted my ROM to look stock, I wouldn't have half a dozen mods installed to modify it's appearance, would I.
And FYI, "reflash stock" is not a blanket answer for every time you otherwise have none, you simply just don't reply at all.
Can anyone else who actually has a clue point me in the right direction to reduce the font density in notification text and the grey settings sub text?

The sizes don't look so bad - pretty normal I thought. You could try installing textdroider-dpi and see if that helps. Other than that, I'd back up all my data and do a factory reset - should get rid of the S5 theme issue.
@Wobzy try to adjust dpi for systemui using app setting and restart phone.

Or u can change the ROM, a Lot of custum roms over here have the option
It's in the CSCfeature.xml. you need to add the line <CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOverrideDataIcon>LTE</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOverrideDataIcon>. I'm in the US, on TMobile and couldn't stand having the 4G icon all the time.
