Well I wanted to start a bounty for this theme since it doesnt seem like im the only one wanting it. I dont know if I am asking too much, but the rounded corners, animations, clock, just looks fantastic. Is there anyway to port this too damage build (with sense)? If so im in, im a college student so ill go $5.....may not be much, but lets see how many others come in (likely too be a decent amount).
Too those that dont know about it:

That isn't really the whole theme... That's just a taskbar I made w/ the battery seen in Regaw's ROM. Is that all that is wanted? Cause there are animations and other stuff in the full theme. I don't know much about those but copying and pasting the .png files that what you posted is pretty darn easy.

that zip gave you the fonts, the full taskbar and the launcher + wallpaper. thats all i want, i don't need the animations.
If I have a little free time later I'll work on it. Don't hold me to anything though; I've been trying to keep very busy lately.

i hate that battery look though, the one in my zip is 10x better.
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.

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.

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

You can't push the whole desire framework-res.apk to your phone, you'll get a bunch of force closes. png's are the wrong sizes and what not. might be missing some .png's or have different names. Plus that update.zip will change one of you .jar files and that would mess up your phone. You could dive in and replace just the battery .png's.
I could do that for you... give me time tomorrow and I'll take a looksie.

That would be great. It seems like this mod would be something a lot of people would want. I wish I could just replace the custom battery icon to show the percentage instead of running the battery icon app to free some space in the notification area.

So I take it from your OP that you're using the stock 2.1 Sprint ROM, right? Just making sure because I don't know why you have a 5 after the "..." part.
Just to throw this out there, it may take awhile to do this for you. For some god-knows-what reason, my download speed is absolute **** today. I have an estimated time left of EIGHT HOURS on the Sprint ROM that I need to DL.

You rock mrinehart
I will keep watch with this posting, I would def like that icon on my sense UI notification bar.
Ok, so do you want JUST the battery icon, or do you want the other icons? And do you want the percentage in it? I'm not sure how to get the percentage in there, but I'm sure I can figure that out.

What I am doing will work with Fresh, DamageControl, the Sprint roms, etc. I'm almost positive that the framework-res.apk is the same between them. I'm not sure about the services.jar modding that I'll need to do, but I can't see it being a large difference between the ROMs.
Here is just the battery icon, no percent
Ok, well I just finished putting that battery icon in. This should work in any Sprint-based ROM, which means DamageControl, Fresh, RegawMOD, w/e... as long as it's not AOSP.
So attached is the modified framework-res.apk. To install this, you'll need to push it into your phone somehow. This can be done a couple of ways:
ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
OR
Use Root Explorer, and then mount your phone in R/W mode, and then just copy and paste that file into your /system/framework folder.
Ok, this MAY give you the percent
Hey guys. So I really quickly learned how to use baksmali and smali to edit the services.jar file. I took what looked to be a line of code that added the battery percent and added that into our services.jar. I then repackaged it up. I have NOT tested this to see if it works or not (I'm running AOSP and calibrating my battery), so I highly recommend you either Nandroid or backup your services.jar file. If you would like the circular battery icon too, then flash the framework-res.apk file above as well.
The worst thing that will happen from the services.jar being messed up is force-closes.
EDIT Don't pay attention to what's above. I put all the stuff into a flashable .zip file. My signing tool is messed up, but if you have ClockWordMOD recovery, then you'll be able to flash it (ClockWordMOD can flash unsigned .zips )

This works perfectly for Fresh 2.3.3! Thanks so much for the kewl battery icon!!! Now, if only we could get the percentage in the middle of it, I'd be totally set
LoL! But... beggars can't be chooser though
In case you were wondering Mrinehart93, I flashed this zip using clockword mod recovery and the icon itself looks and works perfectly, but the % of battery remaining does not currently show up. I don't know if there's anything I need to do to make it work correctly, but since you haven't tested yet, I just thought I'd let you know. Thanks again man!

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.

Someone posted one in another thread which was different to the original but said it worked, and it did, so took to searching custom rom threads, pulled a few framework-res files, and came across it. As it now uses a 9.png I think you're allowed a little variation in the dimensions.

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.

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.

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.
