Changing Battery Meter - Droid Incredible Themes and Apps

Hi.
I was wondering if someone way more knowledgeable than me can help change the battery icon in the notification bar. I want to change it to plain and system white one to match the rest of the icons.
I am rooted, with stock 2.2 from Verizon. I was looking through it and Metamorph seemed to be the easiest way, but I just tried it and I needed to do an backup restore. I don't know much about Roms or anything advance when it comes to modding, but hopefully someone will be patient with me. =] Thanks in advance!

First off, dont use the B word unless yout to the point where nothing you can think of doing will get your device to power on / be usable.
second, to change your battery you must first load a rom that has been deodexed, otherwise the system wont be able to use the file you modify to change the appearance of the battery.
there are roms out there that are stock aside from being deodexed, so you wont loose anything, but you may as well look into using a rom that has the bloatware removed (things like vznav and cityID)
after you have a rom loaded that can handle the batter icon change, then you should be able to use the metamorph theme or a theme that is flashable through clockwork mod recovery
i hope this post has been helpful

I saw that thread the other day as I was looking for different status bar icons, it's possible, but would need a bit of editing as there are too many icons for a straight copy over. If no one else does it I'll have a pop later on.
Ignore Xperia.
It is not currently possible, once we have the ability to load custom rom's it will be possible.
The reason for this is that the X10's standard ROM is an Obex rom and due to this we would have to De-obex the rom make the required changes load then new rom onto the handset to get the handset to obex the rom but we are unable to do this due to not having a custom rom facility yet.
I will be trying the port again on the SE 2.1 Rom were i hope to have more luck.
p.s. i have also been in contact with the guy that made the Super Circle mod and we tried to port it over together when we realised its not possible as the x10 is an obex.

Seeing as we have the ability to edit the framework-res file along with the status bar icons, and the images from the super circle are pngs, why is it not possible?
its not a Framework only mod, it requires services.jar and framework.jar changes not to mention decompiling of 4 other XML files + the relevant services.obex and framework.obex files to be edited what is imposible untill we get the boot loader cracked.

Having only just actually SEEN it in action, sure then what your saying is right. But you could use a similar non animated version at least. I've seen another circle type battery icon which I was going to use but will still have a play with some of the SC pngs and see how it turns out.
yeah dont get me wrong you can have any icon you want, it will only post at 100-80-60-40-20-10-0 and so that is all we can ever do till we crack the boot loader.
Its the first thing on my list the moment i get 2.1 on to my handsets.

Nice 1! It does look kinda sweet.
Deodexing is possible. The files will reodex when it gets pushed back to the phone.
yeah the problem we had though is that when you try to put it onto the phone it expects them to be there already.
It should rebuild them on reboot. I tried doing it with the instructions rynoon gave and it worked. BUT I didn't modify anything when I tried it so maybe that's why it worked...
yeah, the problem is the slight back end differances between 2.1 and 1.6, the moment we get 2.1 it should be easy to implement.

[UPDATED 8/29/11][THEME] Gingerbread Motoblur Theme for BravoX ROM [v1.4]

Themed to look like the Gingerbread (2.3.x) Motoblur Builds from devices like:
Droid X/X2/2/3, Photon 4G, Triumph, and Atrix​
This will work on BravoX Rom as well as stock Bravo 2.2.1 (as tested by abhi897)
I have only tested it on BravoX RC2 so I can't guarantee any results, anything you do to damage your phone is not my responsibility.​
This modifies all of the framework-res.apk and some of the services.jar​
What it changes:​
Status Bar & icons
Popup menus
Buttons
Drop down menus
"loading" spinners
and other things i can't remember
Requirements:​
Root
BandroidX's bootstrap recovery or Sndinit.apk (below) or have ADB set up with knowledge
some knowledge on what you need to do if something goes wrong with your phone (e.g. SBF, nandroid restore)
To apply:​(With bootstrap recovery or 2ndInit)​
Download the flashable zip below to sdcard
Boot into CWM recovery through BandroidX's recovery app
make a nandroid backup
Select install zip from sdcard
Select choose zip from sdcard
Select the downloaded .zip.zip
select yes to confirm
wait for installation to finish (a few seconds)
Reboot (will take a while because of the modded services.jar, so BE PATIENT!) Pull Battery and boot up again if boot takes longer than 5 minutes
Enjoy your theme!
(With ADB)​
Download the .zip to you computer
Extract the services.jar and framework-res.apk to where your ADB directory is
Plug your phone in with phone portal and ADB debugging enabled (settings>applications>development)
Open up your command prompt
Type these commands (after each, press enter):
Code:
cd [directory of adb and .jar and .apk]
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
adb reboot
(reboot will take awhile because you are modding the services.jar, so BE PATIENT!) Pull Battery and boot up again if boot takes longer than 5 minutes
Things needed in upcoming updates:​
Change some white font to black for easier reading (such as pull down menus)
If there is anything else, let me know
Changelog:​1.4
Updated all status bar .pngs to match the newest builds from Motorola
1.3
Changed progress bar to have grey outline like the Droid X
1.2
Changed animations and other .pngs to better match the Droid X with 2.3.3
1.1
Changed status bar date color to white
Made orange pull-bar (in 3rd pic below) blue
Made download progress bar blue
1.0
Initial release
Thanks to:​
BandroidX for the awesome ROM and bootstrap
Daneshm90 for the .zip creator http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717437
EXTRA- if you want Gingerbread Market notifications and Gmail notifications follow these steps:​
Note: you don't need my status bar mod, it will work on any phone.
Download Gingerbread_icons_market_and_gmail.zip from below
put on sdcard
uninstall market and gmail
rename the vending.apk and gmail.apk (located in system/app/) to vending.bak and gmail.bak
boot into CWM recovery
Wipe Cache
Select install from zip from sdcard
select choose zip from sdcard
select gingerbread_icons_market_and_gmail.zip
install
Screenshots: (old version)​​
Very Cool, I have DroidX and wow it looks just like it in the pics! I am going to install this on my dev bravo and check it out.
One note to users, I would not use the services.jar w/o my ROM, the services.jar is deodexed and you cant mix a dedodexed services.jar w/ a non-deodexed framework, you will bootloop.

This is Very Cool Jorgonv!!!
Jorg, is there a way we can get an Odexed version of the "services.jar" file, for those who wish to use the stock rom?
How does it run on the hardware? Any issues so far?
I will probably flash back over to the latest RC and test it out.
Lately, i have preferred staying on the stock Rom, as it seems to score better in Quadrant... (i think maybe because of the deodexing, it needs to do more at start-up, leaving some resources still open, or used.)
Never-the-less, I think the Rom bandroidx has compiled for is is am amazing piece of work, and only the beginning to our list of supported Os versions!!!
I can't wait to load this theme up on the RC.
Will test it out and see how it goes!!
bandroidx,
Do you foresee any work with a complete vanilla gingerbread, or higher, version of android being cooked?
This bootloader situation seems kind of sticky to me, what kind of keywords would you recommend i search for, in efforts to overcome this limitation?
Thanks!!
I love it!
Two requests/questions:
*It seems like my "synching" notification icon never goes away?
* Any plans on including a circle battery icon?

Glad you like it. I've seen some people with the same syncing icon problem and the only solution was to wipe data.
I'm not planning to making it with a circle icon, this theme is only droid x 2.3.
I will be making more themes in the future, possibly with circular battery icons.

I tried to make an odexed version before bandroid's rom came out, but had no success. I could try again
I dont think the odexed version would make the phone run any slower. I am running the rom fine at 1 ghz and no lag. The only difference is the first boot-up after wiping the cache. after that, it boots up at the normal speed

you should read android central's new piece of quadrant benchmarks. real world feel is probably a better indicator and the rom feels faster.
the rom removes bloatware and services that would usually run and waste memory like voice commander nad others, the deodexing if anything should speed things up.
i am starting to think odexing is just a way for a oem to lock things down a little more. but i really dont know too much about beyond the basics.
quadrant can be swayed far too much by IO, and io can be effected so easily in so many ways.
either way, i wouldnt concern yourself too much with quadrant scores when deciding to run the rom or not. quadrant can be a good indicator like when overclocking (and nothing else has changed except clock speed) but when it comes to different rom's I am not sure its as good of an indicator. I do own quadrant advanced though so I can run it on the rom and see what scores differ specifically, i am betting on IO, but who knows.

Swype Beta, or the stock bravo one?
True. I flashed over to rc2, only, and it scored near the same rang as the stock..
I concur with the topic of real world feel, and benchmarks.. Benchmarks can only tell you so much..
Well, my interest is more towards breaking the boot loader moto has placed upon the newer phones.. Do you know of any current projects to defeat this you may be able to link me too?

I checked the file and it seems to be already white. Try flashing the file again
just sent you the file you requested above...
also, i noted, i will have to try and clear the cache next time i install it, and see if that works...
Thanks Jorgonv!!
I'm having the same clock text color problem for the update, but I already tried re-flashing and that didn't work. I'm going to try doing the cache this time to see if it works.
Edit: After wiping both the Davlik cache and the cache partition I re-flashed, but the clock text didn't change. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out.

Great job on this theme, it really is great!

[THEME][GT-P6200][CM9][Batt%]{DP3 ONLY!!}

just an accurate battery & mod for GT-P6200 for CM9 DP3
Flashing this on anything other than DP3 will likely result in bootloop.
Flash .zip in recovery. There shouldn't be a need to wipe anything.
Tried to keep image/size as close to stock as possible.
Enjoy.
Thanks to Aorth and Locerra and everyone who helped to build CM9 for our device!
Edit: Actually this may be possible with theme chooser. I was planning on making a theme chooser theme, but It seems limited/confusing and actually harder than just theming apks. So I will make a standard flashable themed .zip as well as a back to stock flashable .zip.
thanks for sharing~~~
i will have to refrain from theming until we have more of a final build.
please anyone report if this suddendly doesnt work with an alpha/ developer preview, etc.
thanks.
Not working
it did not work tab 6200 just kept on restarting ,
i even tried to place the stock one it also still doing the same thing
any fast solution i dont feel like restoring from back up wich i dont even thing that will do as well thanx for the effort anyways.
probably outdated, I was suspecting things would change.
just try advanced restore and restoring /system only, you should be all set.
This is why Im not going to theme until we have a RC1.
I could try the Tmobile Theme Engine, but it seems like more work and limited as what you can theme, etc.
I may even wait for JellyBean.
I will make a note in OP. Thanks.
I dont understand why CM9 doesnt have a numbered battery icon option?? just the numerical one with slim bar.
IF you're still interested in this MOD, and you have some apk skills, you can use UOT Kitchen and pick any numbered icon batt %. If it cooks successfully, use my icons to replace them. There are other ways to do this, but I would say that would be the easiest.
Peace.

[Q] Stock battery icon?

Does anyone here have a flashable zip of the stock battery icon? Almost every Sense 4 ROM has this battery with percentage and i really don't like it.
So does anybody have the zip or a tut on how to change the battery icon to the normal one?
btw i'm on Fallout 1.2
Thank you very much in advance!
UOT kitchen, try that.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Umm.. I'm really confused on how to use it my friend. i have uploaded systemui.apk and framework-res.apk. i dunno whats next.
Percentage removal
Have you searched the forums or especially the one for your rom?. Have seen one for the Endyminon rom that I flashed to recently, but not sure it will help you and just getting used to android layout and file system, so would not want to misguide.
The kitchen would help, upload files as you have done and change the battery icon on the start tab, make sure you preview first.
Do not select anything else, left by default and get the kitchen to cook it! Wait for the file, put on SD card and flash. Reboot and Done!
Tried it n my phone, failed first time, (not sure why either!) got it second time , if you have a rom backup first then nothing to lose!
I have played several times with this (Kitchen) just to get used to it, easy really.
UOT is very clever and well worth experimenting with. You could try Tickle My Android if you want to change your battery icons offline, or if you want a clearer idea about how it changes.

[Q] Moving dialer/phone app to stock rom (SOLVED)

you may need dialer.apk, phone.apk and maybe contact.apk.
after you move them, set the correct permissions.
reboot.
if that doesn't work, may need to boot into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik.
alternate: you can try using titanium back up..remove those apk and then install the other apks from the myfiles

Ok. cool. But when i move them the phone starts to force close like crazy. I move them directly to /system/app/ and replacing the current apps. I didn't move just those apps tho. I also moved phone_Util.apk and PhoneSetupWizard.apk DialerTabActivity.apk and it worked but when someone would call me it wouldn't ring.
So my question is this. Do I just cut/past the ones you just described above to /system/app/ and then fix permissions ignoring FCs to rw-r-r. And reboot. Is that correct?
Thank you for your time. And quick response.

yeah..just work thru the FC's.
you can also use abd and have no fc issues.
if you are running a rom, you can make those changes to the rom before flashing...either way.

Explain to me what you are trying to do.
Which ROM are you currently running, kernel, root?, odex or deodex? Voodoo (ext4) or stock partition?
It is likely that if you are running simple root stock, with non-voodoo stock kernel, and adding a deodex apk to the mix, the stock kernel may not be able to use the deodex files. you may need to change kernel, or re-odex the apk you are trying to port. Remember, most apk's on the rooted stock has 2 file components.
You can try using the stock deodex base dman made as a base of work from there.
If you are only interested in the appearance of the rom, use 7zip and extract the png's from the apk you want and just paste it into the odex system files to get the same look.
In essence, I think you are trying to theme the stock rom or cook your own.

I used Odin to flash Option C found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
Which is Deodexed / Rooted / With Entropy's Daily Driver Kernel. I don't much about the partition stuff yet. Just started to scratch that surface. But i haven't messed with it. I know I have voodoo lagfix in the RED CWM recovery and it did say something about partition when i flashed the rom I can never understand what the chick says tho. But I have not altered it from the file you can download from that thread above. Except for uninstalling a bunch of stock libs.
I am trying to to get the phone app or the dialer setup i guess you can say from the Aeon Rom 1.4 because I can't figure out how to save the Facebook sharing options. via gallery/share/facebook sharing photos and what not. So I went with the stock rom and flash the Lidroid 14 toggle mod. and removed the logsprovider.apk with the modded one found in the same thread with option c in matter of a fact.
Are you saying though that I can unzip Phone.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk here in my PC and take the png?? and paste them to where exactly? I'm sorry I am trying to learn this stuff and It can be very frustrating at times because I am still super new to putting my own rom together. I just want the AEON rom dialer because it has that convenient message tab next to the call tab in the dialer so I want that and the phone to actually ring when someone calls me too.
Thank you for your patience qkster. I still can't believe that you have replied to my thread yourself. I have followed your posts and threads and advice for a long time. I appreciate all your hard work and what not that make ideas likes this possible. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! lol.
Thank you for your time I hope this was detailed enough for you to get the idea i'm trying to project.

I used Odin to flash Option C found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
I am trying to to get the phone app or the dialer setup i guess you can say from the Aeon Rom 1.4 because I can't figure out how to save the Facebook sharing options. via gallery/share/facebook sharing photos and what not. So I went with the stock rom and flash the Lidroid 14 toggle mod. and removed the logsprovider.apk with the modded one found in the same thread with option c in matter of a fact.

you are finding out what I consider theory, execution and practice.
in theory, it should work.
execution may not result as intended
practice makes perfect
Couple of issues:
1. you're running jesse's uclb3 rooted with extras. great. it's in an odin format, not a cwm. unfortunately it's not in cwm flashable zip.
you can create one if you google how to make a cwm flashable rom from stock leak.
if you can follow a complex set of instructions, go can try it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484578
(Jesse also made this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711375
essentially the some odin option c you used. (he made that in odin for flash via download mode for borked phones)
his ethereal is essentially the same, meant to flash in RED cwm. except for his themes and sound options similar to sgs3.
the odin option c is essentially stock uclb3)
2. before you do anything, make a back up of your current desired setup with zen tool kit - so you can restore in event of boot loops.
3. have the apk with the icons you want on your pc desktop. use 7 zip. double click into the apk. go to res. go to drawable-hdpi. copies all the png. make a new temp folder on your desktop. call it what you want. paste the copied png into the temp folder and look at in windows, with thumbnail options. you will see the icons you want as it may appear in the rom.
4. pull out the apk of the rom you are running. put it on your desktop. look in it also. using 7zip, pull out the res/drawable-hdpi/ folder onto desktop. if you look in it, you will see the other png that you may no longer want. there are several ways to replace the ones you want but it's easier just to pull all the pngs you want into the drawable-hdpi on the desktop and bring the folder over into the apk or just paste them into the apk's /res/drawable-hdpi/
then flash the modded apk or push it into system
Use this for adb..it's easier to use
http://androidforums.com/esteem-all-things-root/517688-adb-android-commander.html
alternatively:
attached is a cwm-flashable shell...study it with 7zip. look at the updater-script. see what it does.
then put the modded apps into the /app folder and flash.
this can be use to flash framework apk/jar and/or system/app apk
test jesse's ethereal and aeon or any other. mix and match. with zen tool kit restore rom, you want play around and restore it back to where you left off
you can also try just pull the aeon apk into the shell and flash it again
remember too that each dev may have different setup or framework that may not let each apk interact correctly...until you have the right combo of files

Thank you very much qkster. I really appreciate your help on this issue. I will be studying these threads and this Android Commander and getting to learn all I can about it. I have followed your posts for awhile and believe you are a very talented developer. I for one appreciate all of your hard work on the Samsung Infuse 4g and insight and advice that you offer.
I'm not gonna just jump right into it, I like to uderstand it all first. But I will definitely be looking this over and trying to absorb it all.
You have kept me busy for probably the next week with this one. Thank You again kind sir. I will let you know in the next day or so to be more realistic as to my progress and if I encounter any problems. Too Bad You don't have a | +1,000,000 THANKS | Button.

you're welcome.
(btw, i thank you for the compliment but i'm not a dev in the true sense. i can re-using and re-applying what is already out there.)
android commander is a graphic ui for adb..easier to use. you'll see that you can pull/push apks much easier, reboot, etc..
as far as learning ...read as much as your brain can handle and google what info you need...that's how most of us picked up this stuff..gl

I used that program you posted "android commander" and extracted a custom Rom to my PC and then using Android Commander I pushed phone.apk dialertab.apk and camera.apk over to my phone and everything it's working fine. Although I had to change permissions to rxw-rxw-r-x
Instead of rw,r r. But it's all doing fine so far. Phone will ring. Camera takes pictures with the power button and I got my dialer tab wanted. Thank you again man. I appreciate you for real.

Hey qkster,
I have one more question if you don't mind. Where would i find the File that contains the png's for the notification bar/toggles? I would like to change that stuff around as well and see if I can change the colors and toggle images? Just need to know where to find the file containing those png's
look in:
systemui
settings
frameworks-res
there are several areas...
check the main xda android theme sections
make a revert or backup..once you start playing with settings, systemui and framework-res, you might experience boot loops
use the cwm-shell i posted. put the original working files in the correct location..call it revert...put the experimental files in another shell copy, and call whatever..
Hey qkster ever since I moved those files. that i posted in my last post my text messaging has been acting up. Every once in awhile. I finally narrowed it down to the problem being if the text is too long it fails to send the text message is there a way to fix this while at the same time keeping my alterations I have made to the rom?
