Color app icons in status bar - without custom rom? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Searched high and low today - is there a way to color the app icons, e.g., mail, sms, wifi available, etc., without using a custom rom?
I am using a rooted sprint g3 with tweaksbox and cobalts ui tweaks. Status bar looks cool until a damn notification icon pops up and we're back to the white icons.
Any tips or suggestions are appreciated. TIA!

Thanks for the suggestion. It fixed the battery issue I had after dl'ing cobalts status bar pkg for tweaksbox.
However, this app doesnt help me color the notification icons in the status bar, eg., mail, sms, wifi available, etc.

It must be fix it. Make sure you uninstall and disable previous app from xposed and reboot.

Im not sure I follow you. I have no other version of this app and dl'd the most recent. Unless you mean to say that I should uninstall tweaksbox?

Yeah I was talking about Tweaksbox. They are gonna crash inside the firmware and turn to default because they are not gonna overwrite each other. If colors are not change after you uninstall reboot and make changes with new app then it's not working for you. Also make sure you select LG roms option. I remember there is an option called I use LG Rom something like that. Good luck.

Thanks, again. I dont think theres a conflict here. The issue is getting the notificaton icons in the status bar colored. These are the mail, sms, keyboard, notification icons on the left and not the status icons on the right, eg, signal, wifi, headphones, locaton, battery.

Hmm maybe this? forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/flat-style-colored-bars-t2925521

Does anyone know how to change toggle order in Notification area?

I am wondering if there is a way to change the order of the toggles via settings in the notification area. I have been using the "Notification Toggle.apk" to get by, but just wanted to know if there was a menu or any settings that I can change. Thanks.

You need to be rooted and flash the toggle icons mod, free gs3 has it bake in the rom

Hi, looking for this also. Thanks
That would be good...
Do a search for Xposed Framework and Xposed Modules and I'm pretty sure you will find the answer.

Using Xposed + modules don't work fir me either. It'll work fir a while, but soon, it's like SystemUI restarts and the stock grayish color just comes back.
The closest I've ever gotten is making the status bar transparent. Its not what I'd like to do though, which is to turn the status bar solid black.

edit:
Things i've changed so far:
Notification panel: remove AP/PM, clock centered, enable circle battery, hide alarm clock, quick settings tiles changed to 6, hide indicator bars, remove gaps between tiles, disable airplane toggle popup, hide wifi notification, hide carrier label,
Lockscreen: Hide carrier label. hide full battery notification, turn on screen when unplugging( i guess this one doesn't work)
Sound: Disabe loud volum warning, disable boot sound
System: Enable 4 way reboot menu (i'm not sure what that does, maybe nothing for me)
Theme: I've changed nearly everything here, mostly i like the transparent dropdown and change the battery color
Security hacks: Fake system status to official
I've also changed many hidden settings with the app "Note 2 Hidden Settings" found HERE
In that app i've changed: extend speed dials to 100, add exit menu to browser, always request desktop site, add toggle for camera shutter sound

I've changed everything on the status bar to white and I enabled the no security exchange. The only issue is everything I open exchange it force closes then I can open it again. I'm going to disable that one and use a script someone else posted to remove security.

**Issue Solved**

[FRAMEWORK] Change extra settings on the LG G2 (Sprint)

I wanted to switch my bottom buttons to the familiar HTC order, "Home, Menu, Back" but LG does not offer this option. While finding a solution, I found a pretty cool program that most probably already know about, but some might not. It allows you to do what I needed to do, plus much more.
CREDIT: First and foremost, all credit goes to rovo89 and his thread located here. Be sure to send him "thanks."
Step 1: Goto the Google Play Store and download, "G2 Xposed" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.xposedlgg2).
Step 2: Download the Xposed Installer APK and install it.
Step 3: Launch the Xposed Installer.
Step 4: Go to the "Framework" section and click on "Install/Update."
Step 5: Reboot
Step 6: Launch the Xposed Installer again and go to the "Modules" section (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet).
Step 7: Enable the LG G2 module by checking the checkbox.
Step 8: Reboot.
Step 9: Enjoy.
Works great! I've been hearing a lot about xposed but never knew where to find it or if it would work properly with the ls980. Thanks a bunch! I finally have my recents key again!
Sent from my LG-LS980
Already have Xposed installed using the G2 module listed in the OP. Its great being able to get rid of the volume slider and the Quick Settings bar that take so much of the notification window real estate.
Awesome thanks for this.

Does anyone know if this plays nice with XBlast Tools?
Messing around with it - cool options so far.
What if I want to remove all changes and go back to stock look? Do I just uncheck the module?

Does this only effect the default launcher or can it be used on top of other launchers such as Nova?
This is absolutely perfect. With the G2 Module and GravityBox Module, it feels pretty close to PA or AOKP.

The only time my nav and status bar change colors is when I'm in an app. When I'm on the home screen they both are black.

Installed this and it's great and works perfectly rcale however I've noticed since I installed the percentage of the normal status bar is hidden... I settings the percentage bar is checked but doesn't show. If I deselect and reselect show percentage it shows but then disappears again when screen goes off then back on just an observation
