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.

yeah, I'd love to see this battery icon on my phone... but will it be available for sense UI roms as well? Currently running Fresh 2.3.3
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!

Nexus One Circle Battery Works!! Needs Refinement

I found a circle battery mod developed for the Nexus One that actually works and looks great on our Hero. The only problem is that once it's flashed the triangle roaming indicator comes up in status bar and in on the lock screen. However, the percent in the middle works perfectly and the battery animation is awesome.
Does anyone know if how they can port this to our phone? Or does anyone know how I can disable the roaming indicator message? I'm sure there's a way to go in through adb but haven't been able to figure out what the code might be.
Here is the circle battery mod for Nexus that I'm talking about and using.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754873
Now the battery mod that I know works but needs some refinement is found in the downloads section of the thread above and it's the one called
8/29--CM6-SuperCircleC-plus--no other theming done.
Edit: I know that Gomorrah has a circle battery mod with theme for Cyanogen but I am looking for other options as I tried his and wound up with a whole theme rather than just a circle battery.

Just flashed it, works fine for me so far though I did notice, the charging doesn't actually circle all the way back to the 12 o'clock point... It just runs until the point of charge at the time the charger was plugged in... could be the intent though...

Lol I noticed that too. I will see if I can fix it. Or if anyone wants to take a crack at it go for it. I am learning still.
EDIT:
I move the nexus battery mod images into the super circle mod res folder. The super circle only has 20 images for recharge vs the nexus battery mod has 32 images. If someone could change that and assign those images it will display properly. I have no clue how to edit I would assume a xml file to include these new images.

He had a .jar file in the framework folder that i think shouldn't have been there. the only thing that should be needed is the framework-res folder. then apply that to the nightly cm6 and resign

Yes it will but with a few issues. I was a able to flash the original file made for the nexus one running cm6 onto the hero with no modifications. The problems I was having were that my phone was stuck with the roaming notification on. But the circle battery worked and looked great.
I've since stopped using it until someone who knows what they're doing can make it work correctly for cm6.

here is the hero CM6 Nexus One Battery Mod. I did not test it. I decomplied, edited and then recompiled, signed and made it flashable
Test at you own risk! Always Nanroid!!!!!

I played around a little more after you guys said something about a bootloop. Try the zip again and let me know if it works or not. (crosses fingers)

Update Sleek Andro/Simple Droid

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.

Thanks to the community!
I put this together from the works of...
HTC, Google, Calkulin, chingy51o, Product F(RED) and many others.
ENJOY!

Downloading now. Looks pretty cool.
Update: Not too bad. It's kinda feels like sense is on Gingerbread. The Wifi symbol isn't the same as Gingerbread but still the same look. I like it! The numbers are really hard to read though for the percentage. Any way to make those bigger or stand out more?
It definitely works. It doesn't break anything else. Good job! Will definitely be using this for awhile

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.
