Signal bar mod from one ROM on another? - Other Tools & General Discussion

I'm just starting to learn some of the development side of things so this could be a dumb question....
I really like Wicked Sensations ROM on my sprint s3. I've gone back to it several times. But I wanted to try out the Carbon ROM. I haven't been using carbon long enough to decide if I like it. Anyway I like the signal style on WS. Since I have that mod file on my SD card could I flash it and use it on carbon? Is it ROM specific?

That would be something for the op of the mod to answer. It all depends on what the mod changes/adds, and the framework of the ROMs. You could always just make a nandroid, flash mod, and see if there are any problems.

I guess that was my real question. I couldn't see it doing anymore than causing an error but I had to see if anyone had tried and it caused a major error.

In case anyone was wondering it actually kind of worked. It changed the WiFi icon but not the signal icon.

You could just pull the images from the mod, and replace the images in the rom also. Great thing about android, you can change anything!

Blue Battery for Leaked ICS

I flashed this in clockwork from another forum and it seems to be working well. Thought i would share it.

Thanks for this, but I'm afraid it does not get along with the 14-toggle mod. One just erases the other upon flashing.
I am going to try the 14 toggle mod later today. It probably won't be long before somebody gives us a good aosp theme.

You should backup before flashing anything.

What ROM/kernel are you on?
You should Always back up your stuff before flashing away.
Yeah I usually do but I thought because it was so small it would have done much. But I'm on sky 4.3 and kernel 3.0.8

Thats your problem right there. I don't think its safe to flash anything on that rom besides boot animations.
On the SkyICE post theres a crysis battery mod signal thing. Did you not like that?
Yeah I was just messing with stuff so do you think I should backup and flash sky again or is there any easier way?

Yeah not all battery mods work on all roms. Found that out the hard way when I tried to flash a battery mod from SKY in CM9. Lost status bar and had to wipe and re-install ROM.
Sky Ics is pretty much a locked down ROM you can't make any mods on that ROM unless already shown working in the OP

You changed part of your framework or ui, probably an icon. Those icons were designed for cm7 and are not compatible with ICS or jb roms.
If you took rom toolbox's suggestion and backed up your framework, just restore it. Otherwise reflash your rom (no wipe - it'll just replace missing files). Depending on your rom, you may need to redo any other changes you made.
If you have a nandroid backup, that'll work too. Always do a nandroid b/u before playing with rom toolbox settings.

[MOD] H To 4G Icon (All Roms)

I found this in another forum and thought I would share it with you guys. I can confirm that this works on our device. I am running F4K.
This mod is a flashable zip which was created by biohazrd51 and I. It changes the 'H' icon in the status bar to the '4G' one. See below for all devices.
Also, you will lose this mod every time you update the rom. I will take no responsibility if you magically transform your phone into a new device.
That said, all you need to do is:
1. Download the attached update-signed.zip to the root of your sd card.
2. Reboot into recovery, and make a nandroid backup, incase anything goes wrong. (It shouldn't)
3. Then, select install from sd card, and click on the update-signed.zip.
4. Reboot and enjoy.
Any questions,feel free to ask.
*Edit* blk_jack has put together a flashable zip that'll modify the H icon to 4G on any ROM (hdpi only). This should also work in JB, though we haven't tested it. This doesn't actually replace the SystemUI.apk, it just replaces the icons inside it and re-zip/zipaligns it.
Download and flash through recovery:

Where is this update.signed file you speak of? The link in the OP says nothing like that when downloaded or added to sd card. D/l'ed it anyways and it kinda fk'd my phone. Went into TWRP and installed it. Fixed permissions and wiped cache/dalvik. Now I have no dropdown menu that the SGS4G normally has and none of my themes are working. Just a generic black background throughout. I don't think this works on our device. JS. I'll nandroid back and retry it. BTW, I'm running Ravers OMFGCM9 with a padded KJ6 modem with hefe's kernel.
I have had that happen once not sure what rom I was on I just did fresh install to fix it.

For the people saying it doesn't work... were you possibly using the LB6 modem that doesn't actually display H? If so... your phone probably needs to display H for the H to be replaced with 4G or LTE. It wouldn't be the mod failing to work... but the modem passing incorrect information to the status bar-display.
Kj6 modem,reverted back to RemICS, until slim gets wf hotspot fixed,will test update then.

ROM's

What are the best ROM's to get on the note 10.1. Post pictures to please
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
The best rom is always those which suit ur device and ur needs.
This is a known things since s2 time.
Different device, different rom, different kernel, and different usage will affect the satisfactory result.
Answer : always try to test urself. What is good to me doesn't mean always good to u or others.
Cheers.

I've tried Chrack and had some problems with it such as battery life and lagging when I needed to wake up my device so I went back to the original. I guess my question should be do you know of any good jellybean ROM's besides chrack of course not saying it's not a great ROM it simply was just not for me. I guess since this is a new device there is still not to many options out for it yet.

CM 10.1 “0" folder issue Please Help!

So I just flashed CM 10.1 on my I535 to get a taste of 4.2. Nice ROM overall, however it did something strange to my SD card.
After flashing it, I booted into recovery to restore my daily driver CR5.5.1 and noticed this strange “0" folder on my SD Card in TWRP.
I initially was unable to locate my backups but then found them in a folder.
My backup was unable to flash because it was no longer a .zip file. All the files were .win.
Two questions, how do I fix this and flash my backup?
How do you check to make sure TWRP is up to date?
Thank you very much for the help !

In case you don't read the thread, it's only four pages right now, this isn't a 100% fix so you may have to repeat these steps if/when it happens again. It looks easy enough although I'm not on AOSP to know.

I've only seen two ideas as potential solutions, Odin/dialer code or flashing or maybe changing this obscure setting. Maybe I need to do more thorough reading on other methods.
Seeing all these issues with JB 4.2 is rather disconcerting.
