Remember seeing a thread a little while ago that had a set that I really liked. I should've bookmarked it. I've been searching for the last couple days with no luck. One of the icons was a blue android, the set also had a battery gauge that looked similar to a gas gauge in a car. I know this is probably a longshot, but thanks to anyone that helps me track these down.

I am not sure how you could have missed this, the gauge in on first page of this forum:

I can upload the blue droid images in a zip later tonight or you can pull your framework.apk file and I can insert them for you.

Are there any mods to the battery/signal bar icons in the notification bar that work on the new CM6.1 ? Don't really need a full theme, I like the stock vanilla lockscreen when it is unthemed mainly... just want to get rid of those 2 god awful icons.

I used the UOT Kitchen to replace the battery icon. Lots of choices. Still working on the Signal Strength Meter. I'd like to use something from Riptide. I will be tinkering a bit today. I will let you know if I come up with anything.

Please do, I don't need anything fancy... the battery looks like someone drew it with a crayon >< Would just like something a little more crisp.
Either way, thanks for the reply
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.

Can you post a link to the other thread or at least the "things" contained you are referencing?

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.

Love the look, but echo the concerns.
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

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.
haha I did the same thing on Skyraider, love the rom hate the battery %

So what does bump charging do? I thought it made it go over the 90% threshold that you speak of.
Oh, and I love the % showing.

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.

I agree fully. I wont use a rom that has a battery % with no option to remove it. I love everything else about the smooth sense mod except that.

Just interested in getting back the black status bar instead of the greyed out one!
Here is the link to the Galaxy s3 fix!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903882
You need to decompile systemui.apk and edit the resources in there by yourself or yiu can ask some dev for their help
in jb it's everything grey instead of black

I would like this too, but from what I've seen is that the color was changed to prevent the burn-in of the icons on the status bar. I guess it's worth the extra battery being used then rather having a screen with burn-in.
I have a note that I got recently and its in perfeft condition. If there was a chance for burn in it would have happened already

majdinj did this simple but nice mod for me, because i didn't like the greyish statusbar too, you can download here and you can see his other statusbar mods too in this thread !
Good Luck and sorry for my bad english!
I recently flashed back to Eaglesblood AOSP 4.0.4 just because I felt like having something new and missed the slight hwa and ICS look and feel. However, not having a battery percentage option built into the ROM is driving me crazy. I've been looking for a mod/zip/addon/etc that will give me a battery percentage instead of a plain old batter icon meter. Does anyone here know of anything that could do this for me? I did find an AOSP modding app that modified battery icons from the playstore, but none of the custom icons include a percentage =(
Maybe rom toolbox? I haven't looked in awhile but I thought there were quite a few percentage options in their theme changer section.
Edit: yes. Lots. Status bar icons section. I think some of them don't do 1% though. The stock looking ones do though.
I like you a lot. Thanks lol!

If you use battery info app it will show percentage but on the wrong side
