[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
*I made this before any of these new roms came out and as such it was meant for and has been tested on only the stock Gingerbread rom that comes with the phone. I doubt it will be compatible with the new roms.*

This is for the AT&T LG Nitro, p930. I don't have any idea if it will work similarly for the Optimus LTE or even the Optimus from Bell in Canada! You will need root access to your phone and root explorer from the market. (I am aware root explorer is not free, but as far as I'm concerned, it's simply the best/safest explorer possible for tinkering with your phone. I tried the free es file explorer for this and that ended disastrously. I have the replacement phone to prove it =) So really, I wouldn't suggest even trying this if you don't have root explorer.)

*DISCLAIMER*

I AM NOT A DEV! I just like tinkering with how things look because I'm extremely picky. I am not smart enough to figure out how to save someone's phone if it gets bricked, I'm just sharing what I've played with since I want this forum to grow =). So everything I say, you are welcome to try, but keep in mind that it can always hit the fan, especially right now, while we still don't have a recovery mode yet. And since I lack the omniscience of the all-seeing all-knowing devs, I cannot be held responsible for what happens to your phone, if something undesirable (*ahem*, bricking) should happen! That said, everything I've done here I've done multiple times and tested, and it seems to work just fine in my hands so long as instructions are followed precisely. But regardless, try at your own risk! Until we have a nice recovery mode set up, you have to be willing to live on the wild side to mess with this phone, which apparently, a lot of us are...

So, after officially washing my hands clean of any disasters that may occur should you too decide to mess with your phone, as requested, I packaged a few combinations of icons and carrier-logo presence/absence in the following zips.

This is what it looks like with all modifications (blue icons - no carrier).

Essentially, I hate the android green, so I made that blue instead (blue wifi, 4g radio waves, battery, signal bars, upload/download... basically anywhere in the icons there used to be that green), and I loathed the space AT&T took up in the left side of the status bar, consuming room for notifications, so I got rid of that, too. (The status bar in the picture is black-er than stock, as I don't like the grayish/black gradient of the stock status bar, so I made mine solid black. No one seemed to want that, so regardless of which package of modifications you choose, none will affect your status bar color. It will remain as is. The black bar is just for me, I guess =) )

So here are the combinations:

Stock icons - no carrier

Stock icons - no carrier (ordinary factory icons, only the AT&T carrier logo in the status bar is removed)

Blue icons - with carrier

Blue icons - with carrier (blue icons. AT&T carrier logo STILL IN STATUS BAR! I couldn't imagine anyone wanting that, but just in case, here you go you weirdos =) )

Blue icons - no carrier

Blue icons - no carrier (blue icons and no AT&T carrier logo)

(If you have made any previous modifications to SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk, they will be lost if you install any of these apks)

Before we get to instructions, I am writing these under the assumption that you are comfortable using root explorer (navigating folders, copying/pasting/moving files, changing permissions, etc. Most of these are simple long-presses on the file, followed by selecting "copy," "move," "permissions," etc). If not, get comfortable first! If you have any questions, please ask! I don't want the blood of your dead phones on my hands =)

Instructions:

1.) Download and unzip whichever ONE of the three packages you prefer onto your computer (this is NOT a mix and match! You can only use ONE package!)

2.) Copy the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from the zip onto your sdcard (preferably into a folder called "modified" or something, just to distinguish from the versions of these files already on your phone. If you chose "stock icons - no carrier", you will only have a SystemUI.apk there. Congratulations, you only have to do half the work =) )

3.) Have root access and root explorer with SuperUser permissions! (When you open root explorer, a popup should say "Root Explorer has been granted SuperUser permissions," or something to that effect)

Backing up your original SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk:

4.) Open root explorer, navigate to /system/app, and scroll down to SystemUI.apk. Copy (for the love of god, COPY, don't MOVE) this file to somewhere on your sd card (separate from the modified one from this site! Keep them clearly separated. Put this copy from /system/app in a folder called "backup" or something, but just know which is the original and which is the modified one you got from this site. You can't rename the files, either. They won't work then). This will be your original backup in case something goes awry, or you just want to revert back to your original settings.

5.) Navigate to /system/framework, scroll down to framework-res.apk and do the same (copy this file to somewhere on your sdcard, maybe that "backup" folder again, but keep it safe)

Putting in modified SystemUI.apk:

6.) Using root explorer, navigate to where you put the modified SystemUI.apk from this site. Copy the file to the /system folder of your phone (NOT /system/app YET!! Just /system). If root explorer interrupts your attempt to paste into /system by saying "you cannot paste here because the file system is read-only", click ok and press the "Mount R/W" button at the top. It should switch to "Mount R/O". Now try again; copy the modified SystemUI.apk from you SD card and paste it into /system. It should let you this time.

7.) Change permissions on SystemUI.apk that you just put into /system. (Long press on SystemUI.apk until the menu pops up, select "permissions", and change the check boxes to match the following exactly as shown in the image: Owner- read and write, Group- read, Others- read). Click "ok", and it should say "permissions changed successfully." Just to be safe, check the permissions AGAIN, and make sure the correct boxes are checked! This is ESSENTIAL for your phone to stay alive =)

8.) MOVE SystemUI.apk (with the correct permissions!) into /system/app. It will ask if you want to overwrite the SystemUI.apk already in there. Select yes, and voila. It should be copied.

9.) Turn off your phone and turn it back on. Once it boots up, you should see some changes in the status bar. If you chose either package with "no carrier", then the AT&T carrier logo should be gone. If you chose "blue icons - with carrier", then some of the icons should be blue (everything but the battery, I think). If you don't see anything different, something went wrong and either ask, or go back over the instructions really really carefully. (If all you wanted was "stock icons - no carrier", then you're done now! The rest of you, move on to framework-res.apk!)

*Don't try to swap both SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk without restarting your phone in between. I think one swap (whichever you do first) will fail if you try to.*

Putting in modified framework-res.apk:

10.) If you have just turned on your phone after putting in SystemUI.apk, then I highly suggest you WAIT until the phone is done "scanning the sd card" for media or whatever before you do anything. Once it's done scanning, this is basically the same process as moving over SystemUI.apk. Use root explorer to navigate to the modified framework-res.apk file on your sd card.

11.) Copy this to /system on your phone. Again, if root explorer says you can't, click ok, press the "Mount R/W" button, and try pasting again.

12.) Change permissions on framework-res.apk to Owner- read and write, Group- read, Others- read, just like the permissions for SystemUI.apk. Long press on the file and select "permissions" again, just to be doubly sure they actually did change and that they are correct! For framework-res.apk, it is ESPECIALLY important that it have the proper permissions!!

13.) Once you are positive it has the correct permissions, MOVE framework-res.apk (with the correct permissions!!!) into /system/framework, and again, it will ask you if you want to overwrite. If you are brave, say "yes." Now turn off your phone and turn it back on. You should be done!

If you follow these precisely, you shouldn't have any problems. I have manually installed all the combinations on my own poor, tired phone myself just to be absolutely sure they're fine. That's how much I love you guys. If you have ANY questions about the process, please ask first! Good luck and godspeed!
