Hello all, just making a request for the themers here..
Now that we have a fully deodexed 2.2 froyo rom, the theming possibilities are endless.. with that being said, i was curious if someone here could please port over a circle battery indicator.. its a circle battery indicator that also shows the % readout in the middle of it.. its VERY cool
here is the origin thread of it, if someone could possibly get this on the DX

When I get home I can post a link to a framework-res.apk that has the circel battery already in it for use on the Froyo build for the X. The frameowrk-res is a version of Teenfaces version 6 he had for 2.1 but was made for use on the X by him as I ask him to do it a few weeks back for me as I had Froyo on my X already.

Because the system on our phones only reports battery levels every 10% (to save battery nonetheless lol).

Actually it's less than that icon wise. 0,10,20,40,60,80,100
EDIT: That's just for stock though...there must be a way to modify it to use more images. I'll look into it when I get home today
Any update on this? Would really like to incorporate the batt into my theme

"Hey there im brand new to this forum and android in general i just switched from an iphone to the Lg G2x. I have to say the G2x is incredible but my battery life isn't i get on average 5 to 6 hrs of battery life (lose about 20% every hour) as others i have installed juice defender ultimate, setcpu, and watchdog. In addition to all these apps i uninstalled apps like T-mobile app pack and wifi calling because these apparently use up a lot of battery. So my question is if there any tips you guys can give me or setting for my phone or apps because maybe i have everything i need installed but with the wrong settings any help at all would be great thank you in advance
Info that might help:
As of now the juice defender app reports: 1.36x improvement"
That was me a few weeks ago and after all of the suggestions many of the users gave me i only saw maybe like a 20 to 30 minutes improvement of battery life which is not to great because im only getting 6hrs moderate usage out of my Lg G2x so my question is should i install the update because according to lg its supposed to fix my battery issue because from the looks of things ive tried everything i can (Factory restores. removing bloatware, turning off unnecessary things like bluetooth, gps, etc)
Id appreciate any advice or feedback from those who have updated to see if they can confirm they have better battery life in addition it might be helpful to know phone is rooted and unlocked
I admit I didn't read through your entire post, but I recommend updating to gingerbread, then flashing either weapon or eagle blood rom, and then flashing one of the themes by myself and kingdavid. You won't regret it.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
what changes will i get if i get those roms?
I recommend it! You'll get an updated baseband, which fixes GPS and Signal issues.

What about battery life? a lot of battery life ?

Battery life is a bit better on gingerbread. If you're trying to get good battery life, I'd recommend flashing CM7, and using SetCPU profiles.

wont stay rooted. Need to flash a rom through cwm. camera is same as nexus gets, its stock camera
Batttery is amazing. Im heavy on the rom changing, had this phone two weeks from my Sensation and it still is stock with the screen animation, but no super user. stock doesnt have tv lock
Oh, im at 30% right now, from mainly stand by and heavy use since 6 pm. its 11:20 pm
@matistight wow thats a amazing battery life thats what im looking for and well thats what i wanted to avoid because im new to android phones so i dont know how to root them is it a big hassle because if it isn't ill go ahead and update and btw if i do update what should i do in preparation before the update?
also what did you mean by " stock doesnt have tv lock "
Just updated my phone to gingernread looks nice but im no longer rooted and dying to get rid of all that bloatware can someone help me root it?
How did you update to GB? I heard there were issues with LG/Tmobile update causing a brick?
I used the LG updater tool and had no issues at all. I used it with Windows 7.
And I definitely think its worth the update if only for the updated baseband. I get more consistent signal and much faster GPS locks now.
i was able to do it through the lg support tool without any trouble took about 8 mins

I agree and like the new look but can you help me root it because now that i updated it i have all the t-mobile bloatware and cant use things like cpu tuner
I guess after you update you gotta flash custom rom to get root?

Use the nvflash tool from the dev section to flash cwm back to your phone and then flash whatever rom you want. If you want straight up rooted stock there's one in the dev section you can flash.
@phburks
Do you mean OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe??? and how eactly do i do that because i opened "OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe" but dnt know where to go from here and should i stick to the stock rom or are other custom ones better ? any you can recommend?

Here's a good video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy9on64jAZs)
Obviously don't flash CM7 if you don't want to. The begining part tells you how to use nvflash (oneclickrecovery)

Not sure what the file itself is called but its the one from the OP in this thread.

Stock recovery won't allow you to flash custom roms. Flash clockworkmod recovery. Choose the internal option if you want clockworkmod to read files/roms and save backups to your internal memory. Choose the external option if you want it to use your external/removable sdcard. I personally use the external version. Its really up to your preference.
@Mister Hat Than you!!!
@phburks
btw the reason why i updated was in hopes of getting better battery life because im getting the same battery life i did before the updated (while rooted and getting rid of bloatware) ) but im wondering that maybe still having t-mobiles bloatware is not letting me experience the improvments but when i called lg recently they said that the update should have fixed my problem with battery life so im also thinking maybe its not the os but some other issue on the phone or the battery itself so do you think i should just send lg my phone so they can check it now so i dont have to unroot it and more later ? (however i didnt purchase it a lg retailer i bought on craigslist is that a problem? )
Hi there,
So I just flashed this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474878
It was last night, I hopped that battery issue drain by Cell stanby~Android System would be fix, but it didn't worked for me..
I flashed the ROM correctly, everything was OK. Wiped data/cache/dalvik and even formatted /system.
I don't understand why, my battery is really strange, sometimes I lose only 2 or 3% during many hours, other times I lose 20% per hour (with inactiv use).
I never had battery issue before ICS.
I got a Nexus S i9023, I hope some of you gonna be able to help me, I really want to fix that battery !
Best regards,
SpawN-
flash a rom that doesn't suck your battery! Or try some kernels that helps you to save battery
Yea sure, but this ROM was just here for the problem with battery, so it had to fix the problem, but didn't work for me, that's why I don't understand =/

sounds like it could be gremlins, or an app app wreaking havoc. also, apps that need to check for notifications drain battery quickly. i usually turn off all notifications(except gtalk/gmail).
I don't have any apps making annoying notifications, my Wifi and 3G are OFF and I often use Task Killer to kill useless processus.
I read that the porting of 4.0.4 for ns gsm was really smooth and battery save
This ROM wasn't even intended for your phone. All bets are off for stability...forget about battery life.
Seriously, though the behaviour you're seeing may not be the ROM. It could be programs keeping the phone awake during standby. To confirm, there's an app called Better Battery Stats on market (and in the Android Development and Hacking section on these forums) that may be able to help you figure things out.

Hello,
Have you tried to change your RADIO ?
try this kernel *Matr1x* with BLN and voodoo v16.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361477
I think it would be help.
For what i've seen the 4.0.4 version was just a leak so there could be some issue/bug. Maybe is better to stay with a custom Rom+kernel and wait for the update or for a custom kernel based on oficial realease 4.0.4 version.
cheers.
The only battery fix in 4.04 was the android os stats being logged incorrectly, i.e. too high.
That has been fixed in 4.04.
I don't think there ever was a cell standby/android system logging bug.
You may be mistaken.
Hi everybody,
I am fairly new to this whole rooting/flashing business as I only got my first Android device a week ago but I succesfully flashed Android Revolution HD 5.1 on my NT8013. It's running fine, but one thing bugs me: After the ROM was flashed, a little circle with a diagonal line appeared in my notification bar. I found this to be related to missing mobile network reception. Since it was eating up battery, I enabled flight mode, so I now have the airplane symbol instead of this circle. However, I still find a "cell standby" process that is using (moderate amounts of) battery power. As my tablet doesn't have 3G capabilities anyways I was wondering whether there is a way to permanently disable this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
You need to flash the compatibility pack. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37225836&postcount=4
Thanks for the answer, this removed the phone app and the cirlce with the diagonal line. However, I still find "Cell Standby" as a process eating 3% of my battery life. Any ideas on how to get rid of this?
No one?

I agreed @cholywell you need flash the compatibility pack.

As I said: I did flash the compatibility pack, and it got rid of the phone app as well as the sign in the status bar that indicated no reception, but if I check my battery stats, the cell standby process is still shown to eat between 5 and 8% of my battery.

I'd very much like to keep using this ROM, as it's close to the stock ROM, but if you can suggest a not-too-adventurous ROM as an alternative, I'd be happy to check it out

I use omega rom and it's good and smooth. I also used your rom and should say omega has a question on aroma wich asks you wich version of note do you have.
The nexus 5 is currently on stock and I haven't rooted it yet but I was wondering if I could partially or significantly increase battery life by rooting it. If I could what suggestions do you guys have? What works well for you?

best way to increase battery on stock 6.0.1 is to switch off wifi/bluetooth scanning in location settings, or buy a new battery like i just have
