so after updating to 2.2 i found out that there is only 1 set of bars up top now there was two and i believe the other was called evdo, does anyone know why its gone now ?
Nope they removed it for some reason... dunno why.... it was basicaly replaced by the new 3g icon....
I do miss the old CDMA AND EVDO(3g) graphs though as I get really crappy cdma reception here and it always looks like I have no bars when I have full 3g reception...
well, I'm sure you can always find a 1.6 dump and tear it down and get the bar icon for 3G and inject that into the first custom rom?

lol if I was only smart enough to do that
Someone here will get it. I've been working on learning more about android so we can get to the point of using our own custom roms, maybe even clockworkmod or our own recovery or boot selecter.
Widget
If i'm not mistaken i think there is a widget in the market place for evdo bars it might have been cdma i can remember something to check on though.
**Edit: signal status bar app in the market say its is a widget and will put it on the status bar as well...works for cdma evdo and gsm. paid and free versions available.
Yup I also want to start researching android and learn to code for the OS. I think that someone will definitely exploit the new froyo rom to create a custom rom.
We just need more devs and peeps to engage the stock roms.

Hello,
While playing around with the APN settings on my vogue for the MMS, I have not been able to make any progress in successfully sending or receiving mms messages. I am running Myn's Warm Donut, and with its default settings.. nothing... I have tried to add that http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<my10digitphonenumber> and what ever the other "Sprint + MMS thread has told for Verizon. Does any one have any advice for this. Any help is appreciated...
I have Verizon as my carrier if you didn't notice by the way...
Thank You..
Sending works for Verizon but not receive. Settings are as follows
Go to Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Android
Modify the following settings:
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<your ten-digit phone number>
MMS proxy: leave empty
MMS port: 80
If you have already done this, I cannot help you further
make sure you're not including the <>!
No success on sprint yet?
I truly haven't googled it, but has anyone found a way to get an image from a Verizon Android phone? I just wonder if the secrets to MMS are in each provider's flavor of Android. I'm just reaching here I know. I really need MMS capability but I LUV ANDROID!

Same here. Being able to have android this functional on our vogues is a feat in itself. I really would love to have MMS but as long as android is as functional as it is now I'm happy.

Nope. Both lockbot free and pro have iphone, hero, eclair (old circular lock style), and flan (misnomer, really 2.1 which is also eclair) style lockscreens. All of them are pretty good emulations. However, it does cause notification bar lockups (can't pull down the bar) occasionally.

Are you able to download themes made by other users? When I used lockbot pro it would always say I needed a newer version to download but it would always let me upload my own lock themes.

I've been just having ppl MMS my gmail account. I'm sure MMS will be figured out soon as mostly all of the essential core features on donut have been pretty much figured out. I'm surprised more ppl don't pic message actually.

I saw them also but were you able to download any? I even tried to download one that I had uploaded with the same version of lockbot pro and it would not let me lol. It kept saying I needed a newer version.

im using 1.10.3 and it work just fine
I have looked and I don't see anyone being able to do this. I have no idea why Google chose to disable the H appearing when connected to a HSDPA tower but I would like it back
Is it possible to produce an app that fixes this problem ?
It was my problem too. There's no simple way to do that. I'm sorry. You have to decompile framework-res.apk with git but it is possible with AOSP beacause for stock there isn't the source. That's what i've understood...if i'm wrong everyone can teach something to me
I want to modify the JI6 framework-res.apk so the HSPA icon is showed in HSPA areas. MikeyMike suggested me to edit bools.xml, but he discovered the file already has the "config_hspa_data_distinguishable" setting already set to true.
Anyone knows how to edit it so the icon is showed like in the I9000 roms?.

If I am right (Been Known to be wrong a time or 2) You need a modem that will enable it like the i9000 based roms.

Yes, I know that ^^. But the H icon is never shown in JI6.
I wanted to edit framework-res.apk so this icon is shown when I have HSPA.

Well If Mikey and you already found that it is enabled then something it not telling the framework that you have HSPA. From what I understand Ji6 cant use HSPA. One of the main reasons some use i9000 based roms. I would make sure that you can connect to HSPA which you should be able to find in the hidden menu, If you are sure that you are connecting to it then I am really not sure myself.

It seems its not an easy task, right?.
I know DesignGears disabled the H icon in latest Cognition.
So If it can be disabled, it must be possible to enable it somehow.
Maybe its related to android.policy.jar?.
I forgot to mention that I had HSPA in JI6 with the Speedmod kernel and JK4 or the ZNKP1 modem.
I am trying to do some customizations. On my previous phones (Droid 1 and Droid 2), even with stock firmware, I was able to use ROM Toolbox Pro to replace the icons.
Well, on the Droid 4 it mostly doesn't work. I was able to replace the ugly ADB Debug icon with a better one, but I can't replace the signal, Wi-Fi, battery, etc - it reboots the phone and the old icons are still there.
I made a backup of the original icons, and the folders show: com.android.systemui/res/drawable-hdpi, and they have names such as stat_sys_signal_1.png
I extracted framework_res.apk and am literally unable to find these at all. They have a similar ones, but the icons in question are NOT there, I scrolled through all of them to check. None even named the same thing. I poked around in the rest of the system/framework folder, finding nothing of use.
Does anybody know where the heck these files are stored at on the stock firmware? I swear I've heard of a blur_res.apk before, but again I can't find where that might be. If I find them, I should be able to just inject the customized PNGs on my computer and overwrite the file on my phone...

Wow! I actually didn't know that there was an app that could change the phone's icons. That sucks that it doesn't work well on Droid 4. Just to clarify, are we talking about the icons in the notification bar? Like the battery power level, wifi indication, etc?
Well anyway, I'm not sure where the actual icon files are located. I've always used a flashable mod to change those icons, or gotten a custom ROM. But, if you want to know, I'd try and contact one of the Droid 4 developers on here, like Hashcode or myfishbear. Maybe shoot 'em a Private Message or something. They do a lot on here, but maybe you'll get a response out of them.
Sorry I can't be more help. Just wanted to give you a reply since nobody else is showing you any love. Good luck. Let me know what you come up with.
Yep! The app is called ROM Toolbox, there's also a Pro version (I think you might need the paid one to do icon changes)
I used it quite a bit when I had CyanogenMod on my Droid 2, as the default CM icons were ugly. I'll try PM'ing those guys and see if I'm able to figure anything out. Thanks.
And yes, I am talking about the notification bar. I call it the status bar, but same difference.

Cool! Maybe I'll give that app a try sometime. Thanks. Anyway, hope you find what you're looking for.
so esentially,over the course of flashing a few different custom ROMs,i somehow lost my ability to have 4G LTE/LTE icons in my status bar.they only say "4G".i had superCID,and some info lead me to believe if i revert to original CID,which is T-MOB010,
i would get my icons back.however this isnt the case.if anyone could point me in the right direction,id apprecaite it very much..
ive been scouring xda & google,but i cant find anything on this exact issue.
some info about my phone,
M7_UL,S-OFF HBOOT 1.57,OS 6.09.401.12,Carrier/Original Carrier Was T-Mobile USA.CID Currently reports T-MOB010.
if you need anymore info,just ask.

If I remember correctly, it is embedded in the various carrier editions of the ROM or Radio. If you have the capability for LTE and LTE is available you will still get LTE even if it just shows 4G.
I understand the terminology and what the icons mean,i just specifically wanted the LTE icons back.i was able to find a temporary fix with an xposed module,but sometimes the statusbar now lags out & ends up being transparent,in which i cant see my icons because theyre white.again,not the solution i was searching for,but thank you for trying.
