Thanks to TEKHD for the inspiration, and VisionX crew for an international ROM from which to extrapolate the needed data from the international build.prop.
For those like me that hate our stupid American network indicators, build.prop can be edited to show the international (and I would argue, most accurate) icons. I do not intend to create a flashable ZIP or anything like that as the manual method is actually quicker and easier.
These instructions assume you're rooted and have made a backup of your original file.
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /system/
3. Hold on build.prop and select "Open in Text Editor"
4. Select Yes to open as RW
5. Modify the two lines shown below (replace "tmo" with "can"):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6. Save and exit
7. Reboot
Icons will now appear as below:
In case you're interested, here is the correlation to normal American icons:
1. 4G = LTE, usually shown as some silly little icon that says 4GLTE
2. H and H+ = HSPA (3.5G) and HSPA+ (3.75G) this is also known as 4G in America, but it is not 4G per the ITU
3. E = EDGE (2.5G or 2.75G depending on class)
If there were a standard UMTS network near me, I'd imagine that there would also be a 3G icon, but all of T-Mobile's UMTS network is overlaid with at least HSPA. Also, unlike the change to the Sprint icons, this change does not introduce any weird CDMA menus in mobile network settings.
If you change the last 3 to att, spr, vzw you will also get the icons.

A more elegant (LTE is actually LTE) solution is to add the following line to /system/csc/features.xml instead:
<CscFeature_Framework_ReplaceDataTypeIconAsOpBrand>OYC</CscFeature_Framework_ReplaceDataTypeIconAsOpBrand>
This gives you standard LTE/H+/H/E/G icons so you don't have to guess what's what.
EDIT: Changed OYA to OYC which gives you LTE/H+/H/E/G icons.

Those are still carrier specific though, and I honestly don't think they look as good, especially the AT&T ones. They're worse than T-Mobile's.

I'll give that a try too and see how it looks. If it shows H and H+, I'll be happy. The misnomer 4G is my biggest complaint.

To follow on, I tried this, and it was certainly easier, but it does label HSPA and HSPA+ as 4G, which I don't like, so I'll stick with the build.prop work I've already done. This is great information though, and no doubt others will be able to make use.

Yeah, I have yet to find the CSC code which shows LTE as LTE and also shows H/H+. I dislike having LTE shown as 4G though, so I prefer the CSC way.

I wonder if there even is one... I have a feeling that Google took a page out of the Apple playbook from when they did that on the iPhone 4S and just label those networks as 4G since most people don't care or know any better.

@dc/dc @siraltus You also have the option to use OYB and OYC (this is the one you've been looking for btw, and is template used by telus, whereas OYA is Rogers and OYB is bell) .
Yes telus one is the most elegant and is also one I'm using.
And yes, Americans really did mess up the data icons as well as naming scheme. Yet I prefer lte over 4g ?.

Was trying to use ninjamorph to replace my H to 4G icons, then I chanced upon 2 icons of different color, grey and blue with each named stat_sys_data_connected_h and stat_sys_data_fully_connected_h respectively, is there any significant difference between this or I could just replace the blue one to use for my device?

Grey = data but not connected to Google services (or no data)
Blue = connected to Google services.
The icons tell you when you have a good connection for things like contacts and bookmark sync basicly. It won't change the function if your rom if you make them all grey or all blue.

I think there's a misunderstanding here, I'm not talking about the the bars, I know that if it's blue, it's connected, if it's grey, it's not, I'm talking about the 3G icon and 4G icon, there are 2 separate one, even if your bar is blue, meaning connected, the 3G sign will still be displayed in white isn't it, it doesn't changes with the bar. A picture speaks a thousand words, I'm referring to this. In application usage, I don't really see a blue '3G or '4G' bar before, come to think of it, what is the main difference here?

sorry but you're saying? Don't understand.
a reference for you, even the 4G LTE Galaxy Nexus, the 4G icon is also in white. The signal bars are blue though, meaning connected to Google servers.

Doesn't that makes the transition between 3G (grey) to 4G (blue) weird? Or you had the 3G replaced too? And what tool did you use to make the change? Ninjamorph?

also, as it currently stands, there are only ROMs for T-Mob and AT&T for me to create a base. in other words, those will come first, then Sprint, then Verizon respectively.

I'm guessing that the drawable and layout folders will be exactly the same on all 4 version. The differences will most likely be in the strings.xml and probably some smali differences for carrier specific stuff.

Still trying to figure it out. I was able to mod my systemui and get status bar ICS icons but was having script issues and an unknown issue where I had no radio. Scary feeling (thnk you nandroid lol) when you have no Mobile data and the phone keeps asking for a sim card. But I did change out the power toggle and status bar icons to ics blue and they looked good.
Im try again later.

I'm experiencing the same issues. I'm on Straight Talk. My LTE will not stick for long, regardless of all the methods I have tried. My text msgs were delayed sending and receiving. Straight Talk claimed that ATT had been experiencing outages in my area (Los Angeles), but I never called ATT direct to confirm this. WCDMA is the only thing that will stick, although I haven't tried LTE anymore in the last two days....

No problem! Appreciate your work bro! Thank you!
Tried flashing with TWRP and got can't open zip error...
Worked great on mine. Thanks.
Yes thank you for this I'm loving the icon
Does this also have the international icons for UMTS (3G, H, H+)?

Anyone else getting sms not sending? I have a lot of tweaks, so not sure what's causing the problem. I am running my n910t on at&t so... Lol. I'll compare my original build.prop and see what the difference is. Thanks again!

Does this show the up/down speed for data transmission?
If not, how can I add that?

If your an xposed user, you can use netspeed indicator i believe its called. Or also if you want a rom that has it built in, dynamic 2.0 has it as well.
Looks something like that. Thats from dynamic. The xposed module is colorable and has a few options whereas dynamics vwrsion is not.

So. Use xposed like I stated.
I finally got this installed, and it doesn't have the international icons. It also adds the CDMA network options in "More Networks", though I'm not sure whether that's good or bad.
Can I make these changes manually in the build.prop? I have a ROM that has build.prop tweaks, and I don't want to lose those. I REALLY want this data icon

Thanks. I like the "can" one, but is there any way to get rid of the data activity arrows? They make custom status bar icons look weird
Am I the only one who likes the tmobile 4g lte icon? I personally don't like just "lte" icon. YMMV.

That's why I didn't want it. But I just changed it to the international icons, which removes the small "LTE" among other things. The thread was linked a few posts above
Hi guys!
Here I present to you a simple modification I have done in my S3.
THIS IS MY FIRST THREAD.
Actually this is just for my personal enjoyment but I decided to share it here in case anybody is interested.
I modified the SystemUI.apk on my phone running Back-to-N00t V6 from the usual 3G icon to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I resized the icon to match the display since from the source where I got the icon it is in xxhdpi whereas in Back-to-N00t ROM it is in xhdpi only.
HOWEVER, if you are interested, download the file below:
View attachment SystemUI.apk
If you prefer H+ icon, download this file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3101092&d=1420550912
Instructions
1. Copy the file to your device.
2. I personally use Root Explorer, but if you have another file manager that can access system files, you can use it.
3. Put the file to /system/priv-app.
4. Set permissions.
5. Reboot.
6. You're good to go! HAHA!
If you are asking if this will work in versions 1-5 then my answer is
I DON'T KNOW.
If you want to, then you try but make sure to make a BACKUP first in case something goes wrong.
HIT THANKS IF YOU LIKE MY WORK!
All credits to @sunajkram23 to where I got the LTE icon (from his ROM) and to @arter97 for his amazing ROM.
It is just graphical or real functionality..?

The answer is obvious if you know i9300 specs[emoji12] [emoji6]

Respect for your work, but why display Lte on a device that don't support it.
I think it would be more useful if you made a sys ui that shows H and H+ when its running on H and H plus
I think more people would find that useful. Showing correct data.
I hope you could make that possible too
Good work anyways

Then whats the need of this mod if it is just for implementing graphical 4G lte icon...?
I think he just done it for personal use and decided to share it. Which is fine and respect for that. But I hope one that displays H and H plus can be made too that functions the correct way.

back to noot ROM only has 3G and LTE in mobile data settings, so I modified the 3G icon to 4G LTE.
Actually as stated, it is only for personal reasons but I decided to share it.
BTW, If want H+ icon I can do it for you. HOLD ON for at least a few minutes.
