Update Sleek Andro/Simple Droid - Droid X Themes and Apps

Update to Simple Droid
All info about single percent battery and stuff is that theme works for rubix and gummyjar, single percent only works on gummyjar and it only works sometime, trying to find out why.
Changes-
Updated theme to have more things themed
Single Battery Percent is now more likely to happen but still only happens some times
Next-
Almost have launcher and basic apps completely themed will be out soon.
This is here because Droid X forums banned me for asking if someone would test this theme but it is all tested out and works.

huh?
I think a little more information is necessary.

How did you get single percent battery percentages? Are you talking about in the notification bar or a separate battery app?

No offence, but I find it very hard to believe they banned you for asking for testers.
For most people, their Droid X is their lifeline; so most people are going to want a bit more information on any app/rom/theme we install to help weigh their options.
With that said, It does look good.

They actually did, i know it sounds hard to believe and that why i want to know why but they said something about you must test first.
It is in status bar, I can only get it to work sometimes, i still am trying different things to get it to work out.
The things i was talking about was that this was my first theme so my other post turned into me asking how to get themed apps to install with theme.

What changes did you make for single digit battery percentage? I see that you added all of the images for it in drawable-hdpi and it looks like their are corresponding entries in MANIFEST.INF. Did you use a program to generate the entries or did you manually enter them. The reason I ask is because each one has letters/numbers for SHAI-Digest. I don't fully understand what those do or how they're generated. Did you make any other changes in framework-res?
I have not flashed this because It hasn't been tested on Tranquility and I really don't want to sbf if my phone bricks. If we can isolate the changes you made for single digit battery percentages and get it working consistently, this could be a great breakthrough for DX owners.

Looking for battery percentage mod

I have looked all over and found this mod for the nexus but thats it. Anyone know of this mod for the hero that they could link me to. I want the battery indicator with percentage, not an app, but to replace the stock battery indicator.
Please move to mod/theme forum
Talk to Darch, he has that in his Darchdroid rom.

Sorry.. this is the theme app forum. The only other subforums for cdma hero are accessories, general, and development. Wasn't sure where to place it, however don't see a "mod" section at all..
None the less, move it if you need to, still looking for this mod. I will try to contact who you suggest

It was originally posted in the development forum where it didn't belong. It has correctly been moved to the theme forum now.
I would love to have this mod work with Sense. I have seen the mod the OP is referring to on the N1, and it is pretty brilliant.
I've already talked to Darch about the possibility of getting this on a ROM such as DamageControl. His response was that is wasn't possible without having the code for the .29 kernel. I'm guessing since his is AOSP, he can put it in his ROM more easily. Just a guess though, I know little about programming, code, etc.

Thats unfortunate. I would love to have this.
I know it's not a mod, but I use the Battery Indicator app to display battery percentage in the taskbar...it's free, light, and has worked great since day 1.

Until we get an actual OS mod, I'll be using this app.
Again, don't flame, just trying to provide a temporary solution.

Excuse me Darch, I was confused with something else and did not mean to put words in your mouth. We did exchange PMs about it but your response said we'd need the source code for a sensui rom to be able to do that. Again, please accept my appologies, there was no ill intent there, just confusion on my behalf.

How do we know your who you say you are!
I use BatteryLife widget by Curve Fish and love it, it keeps the percentage accurate all the time. I think in the 2.2 build under the cyogenmod settings there is an option to add the battery percentage to the icon on top, but thats probably not helpful if you dont want to stray from sense.
I wanted this as well and noticed darch had the battery percentage indicator within his spareparts settings so I tried to pull his spareparts.apk and push it over to fresh 2.3.3 Rom but that didn't work cuz nothing showed up in my app drawer or within the settings menu. I really want this mod as well but for now I'm using the battery widget by geekyouup which only takes up 1x1 on your screen and it can toggle/open your WiFi/how/bluetooth/display

[ROM]Damaged_BURST.v3.FINAL

hello everyone. heres another one of those crazy things i do here. this time i built on damage so i could use dconfig again. I had the idea to put this together when i saw koni's transparent mod,then the aosp zip and burst's theme. This is mish mash of all of that work+ some of what i do. since its built on damage and the biggest add on to theme was burst's theme. But while i was ripping them apart i realized that the aosp theme was basically using the same framework as burst with a few tweaks. Then got it to boot. I did have some serious issues with the kbs and the notifier but i learned what i was doing and fixed it then decided to post...Didnt take as long to finish this(about a day), because i didnt do ALL the themeing. I just found it and mixed it all together with some of my own tweaks added in both visually and performance wise.
HERES WHY YOU SHOULD FLASH:
1 CUSTOM BOOT
1 CUSTOM HTC KB (THEMED GREEN)
1 LATIN_IME MT KB FROM DROID_X
1 HTC_IME MOD
4 INTERACTIVE LWP FROM...(sorry i forget what device)
1 INVISABLE taskbar by KONIKUB
1 THEMED HTC clock widget(by me)
1 THEMED rosie(by me)
INCLUDED APPS
adw. its my fave and most stable imo
andro for file browsing and app backup
dconfig for tweaking(thank treve)
updater for new roms and themes ota
sys tray (to monitor ram)
battery widget (to monitor battery%)
titanium backup
left the sprint apps for once....
sorry all, i forgot to toss the nextel tikl in(ill toss up an update.zip with it)
i didnt throw in all the extra crap this time so this rom is a normal size(170mb)

NOTE: THIS THREAD IS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND FEEDBACK ON THIS ROM TO HELP MAKE IT BETTER. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST MAKE SURE YOU FLASH IT FIRST. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT BY ME TO KEEP THE THREAD ON TOPIC AND USEFUL TO THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO USE THIS MOD. IF YOU DIDNT FLASH IT WHAT KIND OF HELP COULD YOU POSSIBLY OFFER IN THE WAY OF IMPROVEMENT?

That's unfortunate. I love the look of the ROM otherwise.
Sorry to be the debbie downer but I think it looks garbage. :/ A bunch of poorly done photoshop filters slapped into a single rom. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
i must say this looks better than the previous RED theme.
so do I flash this by itself? or do I flash it over DamageControl's ROM??
Damn..this is nice and fast. The customizations is great. Nice job!
Do you know where I can get the HTC News Widget? I don't see it in here.
Thanks
i flashed this and the screen does not look like those pictures on post one. the taskbar is white with white fonts so the time is invisible.

if anything you should be downloading the rom and then ripping it apart and learning how to do what i do. Then MAYBE ill have a little respect for your opinion and what you have to say about me or my work.I am not a dev nor to i claim to be.it is your choice to choose this rom. so what was your reason?
your right; those 1000+photos did take me some time to filter EACH INDIVIDUAL FILE,then integrate the two themes and add konis transparent taskbar(took me a bit) then make it all boot. ive not had bootloop with neither of my mods so far on evo.had it all the time on cdma hero
thank you for your opinion and keeping on topic.but did you flash the rom? as the op states; its a prerequisite to posting in this thread. If not please follow the rules or dont post. Thanks

I hope not cus thats version 1 or 2 and i didnt ul either of those betas. ill double check the link and upload my personal that i just flashed 8hrs ago. So far it performs well w/o configuring dconfig. im on 70% battery after heavy use.not sure if thats good or bad. Its acceptable to me, but not remarkable like damager.FYI​
Had a lot of problems, lots pf FCs and random system restarts.....
i havent had any fc's yet. please list your procedure so i can see what the problem is. i test everything extensively before i put it up for others. that would be very bad if i put up roms before i got them working then told pps i support them...
By any chance have you had luck with flash in the browsers? I'm currently using your finisher rom but would love to switch to this one, however if the flash issues still stand I'll try a different one for the mean time. Looks great BTW.

wasnt sure if i was just crazy, but i posted this in my finisher thread as a bug i found 3days after running it. When i went use a site that needed full flash(shockwave) adobe test said my sware was 10.blablabla and that it installed correctly. well i used my site and tried to use a java music player and when it goes to play, browser dissappears (no fc just gone) It worked fine before, but i thought maybe i was mistaken. no one responded so i figured it was just a problem for me. I NEVER edited anything with the wlan-ko, the browser or anything internet releated, so i cant narrow down the problem. Also, this is a damage based so not sure whats going on with this issue. if i find anything ill definately pm you. if you hear anything ill ask you do the same. thanks.

2.1 black notification bar

With 1.6, I was using a framework.res that had a dark notification bar and simple, clear icons. I think it may have been taken from HTC's phones.
Has anyone made this again for 2.1? I really don't care for the default x10 icons.

I was thrown too by it, but yes it's the same principle which can be used with other 9.pngs such as drop down menus and the like, but I've not strayed too far with others as I've done it on a trial and error basis but not had any errors so far, so if you swap a 9 and your phone doesn't boot or you need to reflash don't blame me.

What is the obsession with battery %?

I suppose its a different strokes for different folks sort of this but I just don't get it.
Why do people feel the need to know the exact amount of battery they have left? Can they just not look at their battery and see...
Green: Means your good.
Yellow: Means you need to find power soon.
Red: Means don't use your phone.
Why clutter up the notification bar any more? And don't get me started on all the "real" looking icons people try to put up there. [who needs a usb stick in their status bar. really. Its ugly.][IMO][I know some people like it. I just don't.]
For instance...the smooth sense mod. That is really a nice piece of work. The standard sense battery, the circle one, and many other mods. But no one ever made the standard sense battery without the %.
Once again I just don't get it. And some devs kill roms by adding the % as standard instead of an optional add-on. I personally have looked over many roms because of this single topic.
Any way. Discuss....
many people including me like to see the exact percent of battery we are at. Its a personal preference I guess
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
you are dreaming if you think that number is any where near accurate.
if it was then i might agree with having a percent indicator.
there is a reason these are not stock.
the battery percentages seem accurate. can you please explain how they aren't?
They are just that....obsessions. We all have our OCD's
One week I want the % to see. The next I don't bother. Then back to needing it
Yea I'd like to know how its not accurate. My battery is charged at 100% and dies at 0% hows that inaccurate?

Because our phones die before 2% to stop you from destroying your battery and they only charge to 90% for the same reason
Unless u have a modified kernel
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Speaking on behalf of the tech crowd, it just makes us feel more in-the-know.
If you're jumping in 25% increments it would indicate that 85% & 65% are both the same ... 75%. I just feel more comfortable seeing the actual number present, even if the % isn't 100% accurate.
Even though this really should be posted in general or q&a... Metamorph is your friend...if you don't like a battery get a morph and apply it. If you want one from a certain rom/theme with or without % pull the framework-res crack that sucker open and go to res/drawable-hdpi/drawable-hdpi-v4 and pull the images and make your own morph or mod your framework-res apk. Its really just comes down to preferences. And this topic should be in general or q&a not themes/apps as its not really relevant to theme development imo .

No obsession. I just like it.
This is a very good question. It just comes down to personal preference, I hated it so much, I learned how to decompile an .apk basically just to learn to un-hack this MOD. No idea why I dislike it so much, I think it's because I'm a stock kinda guy.

according to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871051 our batteries actually do charge to 100%, but then stop and that is why the battery goes down so much after you unplug it.

Section Nazi. j/k A mod can feel free to move this to any section they see fit.
In some cases I have done this. But in others, such as the smooth sense mod, I tried and could never get it to work. I went into the thread and asked for a %less version and not one person attempted to help. Other users requested it as well. [NOTE: I stopped going to the thread due to poor battery life on sense roms. It may have been addressed sense then.]
I just don't understand why devs wont make it an option to have either. By only offering one or the other you cut your possible user base.

Team Gummy Sanctioned Themers and Themes!!!!

We at team Gummy want to make Gummy Charged a themer friendly rom. We want to make a wide variety of themes available through the gummy tool box. to this end we will be "sanctioning" themers. however we only want the highest quality themes sanctioned and released through the gummy tool box. we will have a list of requirements that must be met for each theme.
Team Gummy theme requirements:
1.Minium apk’s: These are the minimum, you can of course theme more apk’s
a. Framework-res
b. Twframework-res (Froyo)
c. Systemui (Gingerbread)
d. Dialer
e. Phone
f. Settings
g. Browser
2. All apk’s must be able to be decompiled and recompiled without errors. The exception to this, if the unaltered apk cant decompiled and recompiled with out errors.
3. All themes must be submitted to Team Gummy 24 Hours before release on any forum.
Sanctioned themers will have access to a Gummy Themers Drop box account.
Sanctioned themers will have early access to all updates and ROM releases.
Sanctioned themers will have their themes distributed through the Gummy Tool Box.
All interested themers post in this thread and i will contact you via pm.
I have no idea how to theme, but this sounds like a pretty friggin good deal

I just recently figured out the whole Android theming process, and I'm still very new to it, but my technical skills are fairly advanced and I learn quickly. I'm no noob.
I've only messed with the framework-res.apk, but I imagine the process is similar with other .apk's like the Phone, Contacts, Calendar, etc. .apk's. I also imagine there's different problems to run into when modifying other applications.
What IRC channel does everyone hang out on? I'd love to help out and create various themes. I have a few colored schemes in mind, and I've been planning on making my own Volkswagen theme for a bit. I actually created a handful of the icons already in my attempts to use GoLauncher's Theme Factory, but eventually stopped the theming once I discovered the fact that the Export function was busted.

I can't really use IRC at work, but thanks for the heads up.
There are so many images to edit in the drawable-hdpi folder, and I feel like I haven't seen the majority of them when using my phone. I'm just going to start modifying the obvious until I can get on IRC to ask questions.
Are these file names standard? If so, someone should create a tool similar to the GoLauncher Factory

There are so many images to edit in the drawable-hdpi folder, and I feel like I haven't seen the majority of them when using my phone. I'm just going to start modifying the obvious until I can get on IRC to ask questions.
Are these file names standard? If so, someone should create a tool similar to the GoLauncher Factory

The files names are indeed standard. But when you throw touchwiz into the mix it adds a bit of new stuff.
And no metamorph junk. Only real themes and themers.

Most likely not because he ditched us and got rid of his charge.
Guess some people never change.

His themes were drag and drop crap any way, he is just to lazy to do a good job. Its ashame because he isnt stupid, I know he could have been a good themer. He just needs to grow up.

It's a shame gunnermike as you all tried really hard to help him out.

So true. The only time I flashed one of his themes was on the fascinate and then I had to clean it up extensively so I would be satisfied with it. It was just sloppy. I wish him the best and hopefully he decides to take the time to theme a bit better.
Thankfully the charge has GrainOsand and you mike from the fascinate to theme! (I wish nitsuj would have gotten a charge instead of the inc2 as well but oh well)

He was to lazy to edit the .xml files for his themes. If you look at GoS themes, he makes multiple .xml edits to the status bar text, download text, market text. The little details in a theme make a big difference. You cant just swap out images and hope it works out. I also suspect he was a big time kang artist........

He didnt even take the 5 minutes it would take to zipalign. He left so many useless images that his frameworks were double in size. It was a shame he even put out something so sloppy, but at least he is gone now.
would love to see a honeycomb theme for gummy on ep1q.

that will happen when we release the official GummyCharged GBE. FE is our stable "store front" rom, and is our priority at this point.. the gb leaks just dont have the stablility and reliability of source built froyo. once we release GC FE 2.0 then i will begin working on GBE.
