Hi all!
I've Cyanogen 6.1 RC1 on my Nexus One. I'd like to know if I can replace the default battery icon with the Kspec's battery icon.
I'm talking about the icon below this post.
Thanks a lot!
Any user can help me about it?
Hello,
Try here,
http://circle.glx.nl/
should have nexus cyanogen framework on it, other wise you can up load the one from your phone.
Was using for my desire, so please check about nexus one.

I've just checked but there aren't the icons that I said before.
You can make this easily with metamorph.
Could you give me the file, please? Thanks!
Is there any file for Metamorph with this icons?
OK, now I have not much time.
Look in my siganture, download one of my themes (Take Nicer Battery Icons), delete everything except the framework-res folder and the *.xml file.
In the frame-res folder is an folder called res and therein is a folder called drawable-hdpi.
Delete everything in this foöder and copy your battery icons in this empty folder.
Now you can copy the main folder to your SDCard in the Folder "AndroidThemes"
Start Metamorph and apply this as a "excist theme". (Or so, in German it is "existierendes theme")
wait and reboot when ready!
I've tried this way with KspecBattery.zip but it doesn't work. For long time it says me: "Applying..." but doesn't work.
If you want, you can try with KspecBattery.zip and say me if it works. Please!
The file is okay. It should work on every ROM.
Don't disable the checks in metamorph and the delay must be around 4200
You have to play a bit with it.
Let the phone do it, it can take a minute.
Are you talking about KspecBattery.zip? It's ok?
Sorry for my english.
Here is update.zip KspecBattery for NIGHTLY 245 http://www.4shared.com/file/NQdYVAML/KspecBattery-signed.html
I've Cyanogen 6.1 RC1. It's the same thing?
I've just tried to flash that Nightly version but the phone goes in loop. It's old, I think.

If you take a careful look, you'll note the icons that I've said in the first post are different than the icons in UOTKitchen.

I've tried another time with that file but it doesn't work, again. What should I do?
Anyone has any idea?
I've fixed with the Wipe way and Metamorph file. Thanks a lot.
Remember turning on usb debugging before using metamorph.

Im keeping this on my phone forever!
how do you get this to work it aborted when flashing in recovery??
Okay here's the thing. It's not flashing in recovery because you are missing the update-script (usually found under a few subfolders within the meta-inf folder. take a look at someone elses update.zip (for anything, theme, rom, some of my keyboard themes etc) and you should find what I'm talking about.
Second problem, the framework-res.apk you provided contains only your changes. Had this successfully flashed, you'd now be boot looping as your framework-res.apk would be jacked up.
I took your images and made them into a morph (hope you don't mind, I put your name on the "author" line). I just applied it via metamorph and it's working great!
Benefit to this is it *should* be cross rom compatible, and shouldn't need any updates (whereas if you built a true update.zip that contained all of framework-res.apk, you'd have to update it every time it changed and release different versions for different roms).
Feel free to grab this attachment and throw it on first post!
remember, it's a metamoprh, you must have metamorph from the market to apply it!

Right now unfortunately you can't flash through recovery yet.
I am hoping to have a fix for that later tonight.
See post above. You can now use this with Metamorph thanks to gIMpSTa.
LOL....
This is great!
One thing though, can you make it a bit more discernable for us colour blinds?
hmmm I posted this on the MORPH thread yesterday!

If you want to get a mod to delete my post and put yours in there that would be fine by me.
I have no idea how to delete this off my captivate. I reset my phone, format internal sd and reflashed the unleashthebeast rom. Please help me. Its still there! I want the original battery icon back
I'm currently running Cyanogen 5.08 on my N1 and decided to try the Metamorph application. I was having trouble finding any themes that said they were 5.08 compatible so I decided to try one that was listed as 5.06 compatible but after rebooting I kept getting force close messages so obviously something went wrong.
I'm new to Metamorph and just followed the intructions of unziping and then installing the theme.
I'm really interested in the Kspec theme but interested in any that might work on 5.08. Do I need to install them a different way because I am using CM? Thanks for any help on this.
For CM 5.0.8 or 5.0.7 just remove any xml's from the theme before you apply it. Since these 2 versions of CM have the abilities to change notification/status bar text colors you don't need those xml's. At least you could do this until the particular themer updates their theme.
Just remove all xml's and leave *only* the images.
If I delete all xml files how do I install the theme? Don't I need to select the main xml file to select within the Metamorph application when it asks me which theme to install?
Does this mean just delete the xml files embedded in the different folders?
Thanks
No, deleting the xml is definetely false.
Delete the services folder in the theme and the folder /framework-res/res/layout folder.
In Cyanogen 5.0.8 you can change the text colour in spare parts.
Or you will have a look in my themes. They all work with this rom, too.

you know? I'm still on cm5.0.6 for GlassBar but now I can move to cm5.0.8
before I tried to change clock and date color but I have to use windows OS to
do that Bcuz I dont find xml editor on linux
thanks
Ok I tried using glass bar but I'm still having problems. Its begins to install but when it gets to "Applying framework-res.apk theme 7 of 7" it just stays there indefinitely. My phone doesn't freeze or anything or ask me to force close the app so I'm confused.
Could it be that I'm running a custom kernal along with CM 5.08?

just wait tel restart the UI and will apply , if you not got full glass just re-apply
only the last one "framework-res.apk"
Yes, right. It should work.
Play a bit with the applying speed in metamorphs settings.
Or look at the first post. I've added some helping manual with problems at metamorphing in my theme threads.

Thx! After following the step by step instructions in your post for the glass bar theme it installed perfectly.
Nice!
Have Fun!
I like the default Froyo theme but the battery Icon in the status bar is completely worthless because it doesn't accurately reflect the current percent remaining.
Is is possible to change only this icon?

If you have flashed the Froyo Pick-n-Pack ROM, you can go to the UOT kitchen here, and upload the framework-res.apk file from the ROM. It will implement accurate battery mod for you and then you just have to flash the package that comes out. Pretty easy to do.
Success! Thank you. That website is very handy.
phidelt82...what are your super secret mods and rom...i wanna try it...not knowing is killin me...lmao
Without getting too in depth, I'll try to explain;
To change battery pictures, you must open the framework-res.apk file in 7zip and replace the existing .png files with the ones you want (while i'ts still "compressed" aka packaged, DO NOT UNZIP IT. Sounds easy, but it get's complicated;
Accurate battery mod means that the XML has been edited to show an image at more specific battery levels (1,2,3,4,5...) So, if what ever theme/rom you're trying to change already has this mod in it then you just have to make sure that the theme you're pulling the new clock images from also has the mod. This is obvious because there are more images than the stock version (it went by 10's and 15's)
EDIT: Just going to leave this random bit of info here lol..

If you're trying to create a new theme, the best thing to do is to take the pick and pack rom over to UTO Kitchen choose the new icons you want with their tools, then upload the framework-res.apk from PNP and it will add the mod and the new images for you, which you can then flash on your phone.

After you've selected your battery icons and color it should give you the option to upload your framework-res.apk, after that when you go to the pickup page there should be a heading of "my uploads" or something, seperate from the rest of them. That will be the one you did.
It seems as though this has to be done from your computer. Am I wrong? I tried doing it from my phone and when I click on "choose file", it takes me to a page where it says "no files found"
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Alright. I finally found where to upload the file (using the computer and not the phone). Now everytime I try to upload the framework-res.apk file, the upload fails. Am I doing something wrong?
I had to try a few times too, it's finicky.
Swyped from my Mesmerize
I got it to upload and it spit out a file. I flashed the file it gave me and the battery icon is still the same

Sorry I keep bringing up this topic but I've tried flashing the .zip that the kitchen spits out twice. I've disabled lagfix. It doesn't seem to want to work for me. I may to give up on this mod. Is there a detail that I'm missing? Heres what I'm doing:
I have the unzipped PnP file on my computer.
I go to the kitchen and cook up my file.
I upload my framework-res.apk.
It takes like 10-15 mins. And receive my file.
From my computer, I put the file it cooked up on my sd card.
Boot into recovery, Disable lagfix and reboot
Boot into recovery again, select install .zip from sd card
Select my cooked up file, and reboot
And my battery is still the same
What am I doing wrong?

If you're on the latest version 1.08 of Eaglesblood for 2.3.5, then just push this SystemUI.apk into /system/app , fix the permissions, and reboot, and it should do the trick.
The reason you were having trouble before is because the stock image is a .9.png...I won't go into the details of that, but a little extra work is needed to make those files work.
This file I've included should work for ya.

Ok, so you're on the latest version (1.08) of Eaglesblood for 2.3.5, correct? If you are not 100% sure, you can check in "About Phone" and check on the build.
Using the SystemUI.apk that I uploaded, what is your procedure for getting it into your phone?
Because that file has a transparent status_bar_background.9.png with correct patch handles drawn...not sure why it won't work. I will admit, that I don't have a 2.3.5 nandroid backed up to test. Anyone else?
I think I found the problem. Your rom's SystemUI/res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml points to shade_bg.png for the background. I made that image transparent for you, and recompiled the apk. I really hope this works for you. I have to admit, I"m feeling rather dumb right now.
Yes I'm on 1.08 and my exact procedure was I downloaded the file on my phone, I went to root explorer to the xda download folder where it was located, I copied it to system/app and overwrote tthe current systemui.apk that was there, at that time, a constant endless force closes occurred so I had to pull my battery and rebooted that way, as it rebooted, the notification bar was gone, I then went to the systemui and changed permissions to where the first column is all checked and the first of the 2nd ccolumn is checked, I then pulled the battery again (cuz of the apn issue without the hard reset) and when it came back, nothing changed, so I fixed permissions via rom manager, to no avail......its frustrating!

holy crap it worked.....a million times THANKS!!! You effin rock dude! thanks for taking the time to help me! So to my understanding, u just edited the shade_bg file???? that was it??
Yeh, essentially, all I would have needed to do was edit that shade_bg.png file. But I didn't know to look there until I was forced to try to save face after giving you bad advice, lol. Now I know that some roms will point to status_bar_background.png, some will point to shade_bg, and some even simply define a hex color code...just have to decompile the SystemUI.apk, and look in res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml to see where it's looking....and then edit that file.

so now that i know it works, i was wondering if i wanted to create one, do i make it 200 x 200 like the current shade_bg file is? i kinda want to make one with a black background with semi transparency! I tried editing the shade_bg file u made, with a program called Gimp, but it didnt work
Can you give me your exact method to doing this? I created an image from gimp, i saved it as shade_bg.png, so basically , i extracted the systemui.apk from root explorer, it put the extracted in my sd card, so i plugged in my phone in my mac, and i took that folder from my sd card, now from here, the extracted file is a zip file, so i double clicked it b/c macs can unzip files easily, so in the folder, i placed my shade_bg file into the appropriate folder.....now this is where i think i mess up, what do u do from here? I "compressed" the systemui folder to make it back into a zip, and then placed it into my sd card, i then "renamed" the file thru my phone from a .zip to a .apk, now in root explorer there is usually an icon that shows up next to the name of the files, now when i changed it, a green android icon showed up, but on the file that you had edited for me, there was a "settings" icon, u know, the standard icon for the settings app in android! i put the apk in the system/app and it didnt work, even after permissions set up! hmmm.....i promise, this will probably be my last post!
please keep in mind, i have a mac, and i do have that 7zip u mentioned in the development thread, but its called EZ7Z.....just in case i need it
If you are doing it the way you described, then you need to find a way to zip with no compression. 7 zip does that with the "store" setting...not sure about the mac version.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.

Use zarchiver to extract the wifi images from any theme or rom u like. Use rom toolbox to copy systemui.apk to sd card. Insert the images u want then use romtoolbox to MOVE the systemui.apk back into the system app folder. Takes like 2 mins once uve done it a few times. U can do batteries and signal bars/indicator that way also.... I can make an on screen how to video if u guys want me too....

You can try looking for an Xposed Module to change it.
