[Q]Dexter's Froyo-How to change Battery Status or sth like this...

My XT720 is using Rom Dexter's Froyo and when i want to know how much the battery left it has, i must use some widget suchas Battery Life, and it take some Ram Memory, about 3-5MB Ram.
So.. i wonder if it could use another battery status by changing it. at sample, the HD2 or Moto Cliq can use update.zip to change their status bar and it's icon.
you could have change the theme as you favorite....another apps to try Battery Calibration
I have a similar question In a thread regarding the LG evolution they managed to do a battery mod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156721
I tried several times and almost bricked my microsd only to find out later that clockwork isn't compatible with xt720 in addition to being ever so finnicky.
If the above instruction do not work then would it be possible to run this through Metamorph quite like how someone did the Gingerbread theme-ing.
I applied that one with relative ease
Thanks to any and all who come up with something or contribute some relevant knowledge im missing
You can use metamorph to change one icon or zipthemer to change a group of them all at once. Zipthemer also creates an undo.zip in case you want to go back to previous.

I just saw that in the windows phone 7 launcher (available free in android market), there is an option in the launcher settings (under status bar options) which whch says: Display current battery percentage. After ticking that option, the battery percentage appears in the status bar! As far as i know, this is the only launcher which this feature. Hope that helps!
I don't know but I do know the new XDA special beta2 is a nearly perfect ROM with battery accurate at 10% increments. Thats the best I've seen. Also Widgetsoid is pretty cool.

I tried metamorph and Zipthemer but the best way i can put it is;
Its missing the Theme Control File
So i threw one in and even then, no dice
I guess clockwork doesn't need a Theme control file??
And i guess this framework is limited to that phone model

To over clock you just needed to be rooted and install setcpu (maybe other options out there) I believe you'll need a custome rom to change the status area. I run miui rom with extended settings in which I just installed a custom carrier logo (fallout logo to be exact) you maybe able to mess with the file system to change status area but I'm not sure.

No you don't need to flash a rom to change the status bar icons. Search, search and search. Hint, you might want to check out:
Infuse 4G Themes and Apps
Themes and applications for the AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G
You must have a kernel that supports overclocking first....like bedwa's kernel.....the voltage control app works best with it...
As for changing status bar, Google UOT kitchen and read up on it as to how to make the tweaks you want...

Change Network Icons?

Is there anyway to modify the system UI to change the network Icons on an AOSP rom?
I want to change my network icon to always show the LTE icon even though its only on H+. (Just for a placebo effect to make me feel like my phones working faster than it actually is) ;P
:what: That seems a little silly... Probably possible but out of my realm of knowledge for specifically what you want to do.
If you want to change the icons you can use ROM Toolbox.
There are other ways but ROM Toolbox is easy enough.
Just make sure you have enough space in system memory.

You can open SystemUI.apk in 7zip or similar program.

ServiceMode.apk

Has anyone tried loading TouchWiz's ServiceMode.apk on AOSP JellyBean ROM? I'm running CM10 nightlies and I'm really missing ServiceMode which is proprietary Samsung's app. You can view the app by going into the Phone dialer and typing *#0011#
It shows you updating Baseband reading, cell numbers, Signal levels RSRP and RSRQ, etc... Mad useful stuff.
If not Could anyone upload ServiceMode.apk and post the link?
Thanks a lot!

TKrom b4.0, NFL mobile, gps, newb rambling

So I am getting deeper into this foray of endless customization and loving it! I don't have many posts around here, but I have been on the boards reading and soaking up info for a year or so. I actually just flashed my first rom a couple months ago. So far I have tried Jelly 'Beans" and MOAR, both with some bugs that were probably my own doing (always clean flashed though). I've been using TWRP from the get go. Finally settled on CleanROM, which worked great for awhile (with PCB circuitry theme) but battery life started to deteriorate (have ktoonsez KT747 kernel but didn't mess around too much with those settings since I'm new to this).
Anyways, I'm trying RErick's TKrom b4.0, and I'm loving the battery life on that! Also want to mess around with Apex launcher some more as well. On to my question.... It's football season, and fantasy football is a big thing in my life right now, and I can't get the NFL mobile app to work correctly (everything works but the fantasy menus, even when just pulling that page up on the mobile browser). I've read a lot about this issue being caused by ad blockers, so I've tried renaming the host file in /etc/, to no avail. Clicking on the menus within the app or browser page does nothing. Any tips?
On some side notes, which probably belong in separate threads, I also get pretty spotty GPS performance all around, have tried calibration apps and tightening up the hardware, any tips from those who have gone through GPS issues before?
Also, I really like some of the icon packs and SeriouslyCrazy themes I've been checking out...with Apex launcher, is it possible to use those icons and themes on most TW roms?
Thank you for your attention gentlemen!
search xda for adaway, you can enable and disable ad blocking easy.
As for gps download gps status, hit menu, tools, manage gps state and download gps. then make sure gps is turned on go outside and wait a few minutes, you will see it show connected x/18(x is how many connected and 18 is example of how many available, both change but after about 3 or 4 connected your position should be close enough.
As for apex it will run is tw roms no problem so themes for it will work but themes for specific roms might not change apex theme, it just depends on what is changed and how in theme.
Good Luck
Cruzin' tha Galaxy SIII via Obsessed Rom / "INAPPROPRIATE" Kernel
I appreciate the help bro! I installed ad away from one of the threads here, seems like a good app and I was able to revert the host file, although still no joy on the nfl app. Everything else seems to work great on TKrom, although I haven't restored many apps while I wait to find a fix for NFL.
I do use GPS Status, and have good locks, so I think there might be some other issues at hand...going to try removing maps with titanium backup and reinstalling.
Good info about apex too...I have another question, to be more specific than my last one... Does apex have an option to change the icons for apps individually?
Did you make sure that location was checked in google settings, if not maps won't show. (There should be a separate app, not from within maps.
As for NFL app, I'll have to check it out and see if I can find out anything to help.
Apex is like Nova I believe and you can change the icon on desktop by holding and selecting edit then tap icon. As for the app drawer I don't remember how but they can be changed ( I flash a oOBlacknesSOo theme and it changes them ) but as for separately you'll want to ask a themer they are the visual dev's imo.
Hope you get it setup the way you want. I'll look into the NFL app and let you know.
update: NFL app runs good but fantasy section wouldn't do squat. I'll see if I can find a way around it.

hey out of curiosity, what app are you talking about with gps status? ie specifically by which developer?
I see there are a few GPS Status apps in the store, but the one I use (and I'm pretty sure it's what bbolton is referring to) is by MobiWIA, since it has the same options described in that post.
I ended up switching to Jelly Beans 19, and NFL app works great, with fantasy menus as well (although I did still have to use ad away to disable blocking once).
I spent some time fooling with Apex launcher in JB, and saw that you can edit the icons and pick from app packs, and there is some drawer customization available as well. Going to keep testing themes, and would love to find one with a scrolling app drawer on the side of the screen.
JB 19 is working good for me now, especially for learning and testing, but if you do happen to come across anything with the NFL app I'd like to give TKrom another go. Thanks for all of the help!
BTW, I'm in Pensacola also
