Silverlight does not have any file named zzz_stat_sys_signal_g :|

Silverlight does not have any file named zzz_stat_sys_signal_g :|

Thats because zzz <--- file header fixture is only found in ROM's developed in ChenZeng China.

For Silverlight and other Indonesian and Indian ROM's, try finding just stat_sys_signal_g.png or even sys_signal_g.png...

Or else you know, try using a Thumbnail mode to view all the images before hand, wherever you find a "G" or "H" or "2G" or "3G". Just open it with Gimp and press Ctrl+A followed by Del.

Press Ctrl+S and you're done, move on.. repack and you're done...

i have deleted both g and 3g png via paint.net but still G icon there in status bar network icon in hd2 ROM..

If it's Silverlight or some of these ROM's then there is another COPY of those signal files too in the framework-res.apk, systemui.apk <--- in case of MMX stock and mtkframework-res.apk.

So, better check all three and use the "DEL" key for all the Unwanted Symbol PNG's you see...

All the Best
