[REQ] Super Circle Battery with %

We need this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778

That's really cool looking; I hope someone can figure out how to port it, but I imagine it shouldn't be too hard.

this kind of post belongs in apps and themes.....
i like it though just change the colors
and it would be very cool

I would like to see this too. It won't work as is?

Be careful flashing these. They contain build.prop and wireless driver files that are not for your phone.

Actually, this needs to be in Development where I posted it due to the fact that it requires major editing of the stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml files to allow it to display the actual battery percentage for each level, such as 99, 98, 97, etc.. Please put it back.

Agreed. I too would really like to see this develop into a reality for inc users. it would free up a spot on my notification bar.

I was able to edit the images and repack the latest nightly so now I have the circle battery meter. The 1% increment isn't working. I assume there must be an xml file to edit??? Can anyone shed some light on that?
Edit: This is on CM6 nightly

Wish this could be ported with the percentage over a battery icon. The circle icon reminds me too much of WinMo.

I'd love to get this on my phone along with something similar for wifi!

Can those of us using the SkyRaider (2.2) rom get a little love with this?

how to modify xml files?
Hi all -- I would love to have this batt on my DI too...and honestly it doesn't look difficult from a theming perspective. But we need some way to extract the necessary XML files from framework-res.apk, modify them, then correctly re-encode them as binary and repackage into the apk.
If someone can point me to a tool, short of the using the full SDK to rebuild the apk from scratch, it should be a relatively quick mod...

You need to use AXMLPrinter2 to edit stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml, which are located under /res/drawable/ in framework-res.apk. I just don't know what modifications to change.

this would be awesome!

unfortunately AXMLPrinter2 only converts the XMLs from binary back into editable text -- it doesn't do the reverse. But if you use it and take a look at the XMLs, the modifications are actually pretty straightforward. In fact, the file is already set up to have an image for every 1% step, but images for 95 of those steps are undefined.
what we need is a tool that repackages the XMLs back into the APK appropriately -- i haven't found anything to do this, and i'm not skilled enough to use the SDK in full yet...
still would really love to see this...how can we get some love from the more experienced themers?

i also just installed this. it also reboots my phone when quickly pressing the search button, but it does not reboot the phone when long pressing the search button. so far so good otherwise. i'm gonna try this for a day and see if any other problems arise, i have a nandroid backup i can go right back to at anytime, so no biggie.

flashable smoothsense+translucent notification tray+dropdown mod. Requests now open.

HERE IS THE MUCH AWAITED MUCH WORKED ON AND MUCH FAILED (BUT NOW WORKING) FLASHABLE MADE BY ME. this is only my third flashable, but works perfectly. the problem was (for those of you paying attention) is that my update script was not compatible with the lengthy smoothsense mod.
credit for smoothsense goes to faster3200
credit for the translucent tray goes to xeudoxus & fxn
credit for the dropdown mod (i think) goes to manup or virus, not sure who
credit for screenies and testing goes to _metalhead_
i take only the credit for composing the flashable
i hope you all enjoy this great flashable. looks really nice. looks even better with ava's customized espresso rosie that was a part of his v7 rom. as far as i know, the file is nowhere to be found (except here), so i will post here for all of you to enjoy. credit goes to ava. upload not working so link: http://db.tt/MxWNgDc
enjoy, flashers of the evo world.
and also, if you already have themes installed, send me your framework-res.apk and services.jar and i will do the best i can.
Because this seems out of date for the new OTA somehow, I am trying to create a new version. This takes some time, and is not number one on my priority list. (what is number one is a 3 command root kit for the new ota so people will stop asking for an easy way to root). the new version will also include the power controls in the notification tray by jschisurf. i will start once he releases the 4g toggle publicly.
Until then, i am taking requests to port and/or combine this mod. Send me your framework-res.apk and services.jar. Both are located in the system framework folder. I will do the best i can.

Nice work dude! And it's manup456 who you want to credit for the translucency.

i think i am right on the translucency, and there is some contradiction over who did the dropdown bar. if somebody knows for sure, please post.

Can you create a zip with just smoothsense to be use with Metamorph?

Same here. Using Fresh 3.3.0.1.

Thank you very much appreciated. All I needed was the smooth sense. Thanks again.

Awesome mod! I just flashed the white battery icon w/% ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819568 and it wiped out your mod, settting it back to the white tray. I prefer your mod better so I flashed back..is there any way you can combine the two? I tried flashing the battery mod over yours and it reset it. I also tried flashing the battery mod and then yours and it reset the battery to the stock one I had before. Is it even possible to combine the two?

my zip contains stock battery with percent. if you send me your framework-res.apk (with the other person's battery theme on it) and your services.jar, i will happily make you a combination. you can find both of these in your /system/framework folder. pm both of these to me (or email, [email protected]) and i will combine my theme minus battery percent with your theme that already has the battery percent that you want.

Awesome man! Thanks! Email sent!

new version will be out hopefully soon with the power controls in dropdown bar mod. i have my work cut out for me... also, i am trying to develop a simple root kit for hboot 2.02.

Tried this on my stock rooted 3.3.....3 went into bootloop do like it too bad

Like i said, new version coming soon.

How's the new version coming?

Wondering if you can make the smooth version with regular sprint slider on bottom instead of the android and notifications word on the bottom. I really just want a translucent tray with the battery percent mod in it. I would gladly donate for it. Please think about it.

My next version will be a metamorph, so no more worrying about different frameworks! I am waiting on the 4g power toggle by jschisurf to start a new version. Dukins send me your framework-res.apk and services.jar in system framework folder. I will make you a custom version immediately. My email is [email protected]. Thanks for your continued intrest.

Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

is there any easy way to edit the color or which toggles?

Hey man awesome job!, how can I make the white bar behind the toggles black?

Anyway you could strip this down to not mess with default virtuous icons?
Also being able to choose the widgets and their order would be cool.

Am I missing something or wouldn't you be looking for something like the one in this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888476
and in note 1 it states that you would not be able to add your mods back in? Why not?

For Virtuous 3.2
Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick addon for virtuous I put together.
This mod will give you the notification toggle widgets along with all updated notification icons.

Screenshot shows 6-bar strength meter and smooth battery icon. I had already done those mods. Does this mean your mod will include those as well? (Since you say that the mod overwrites all other icon mods). If so, looks like just what I need to get those powerwidgets.

is their anyway to get a more stock version. black background, and all the icons from virtuous/stock ROM to be stock. That would be amazing

Flashed it yesterday. Looks fantastic. Works great. Nice job. Thanks! Now the only thing left to do is find a Rosie mod that works with it all.

Any hint how you managed to achieve that? looking forward to porting it to Desire HD

if this works on Virtuous, then it should be mostly compatible with all DINC Roms. A cleaned up version of this would be huge because most pulldown mods require some sort of Evo framework.

problem
i am having issues with this. after i install, whether through rom manager or recovery, after the install, when the phone boots up, it freezes on the HTC splashscreen. can anyone offer some advice?

...

will this work for virtuous 0.9.0 for vision??

Looks even better.
Can #3 be flashed over #2?

[Q] How to remove battery icon?

I was unable to make this post on the main ROM thread due to not having enough posts so that's why it's going here.
I'm currently running the 7.4 speed ROM version of Sky-Ics on my Skyrocket. The ROM comes with the battery bar mod which is quite awesome, it also has some sort of battery meter that's surrounded by a circle. (not sure what this is called, possibly honey comb or digital circle battery mod)
I'm curious if anyone here knows how to remove this circle battery icon/mod so I can solely use the battery bar mod at the top?
Thanks for the help!

I can get you to stock battery with % on it. i think i got flashable zip. Let me know
here is stock battery : http://dev-host.org/mVf
here is stock battery with % : http://dev-host.org/WGj
Flash in CWM wipe cache and Dalvik then flash

Thanks for the info but I was aware the battery icon could be replaced with other types, you know of any way to remove the icon all together?

This doesn't really belong in the Dev section anyway, this is a good place for it. U can try the UOT kitchen and upload ur framework-res.apk. Mess around with some of the battery options there, maybe u can find one that will help

Thanks for the input, I will have to check this out later at home. Anyone else have any suggestions for methods of removing this icon?

Mods for Stock, Rooted Phone

I am wondering if anyone knows what mods to use on stock rooted firmware to allow changing the battery icon and mod the clock for color, position etc. These are really the only changes I make to a phone after installing a custom rom. I also like the fact that custom roms have the bloatware removed. I can live with out using a custom rom if I can make the simple changes like. Thanks.

Rom Toolbox is a great app that will let you change battery icon and things of that sort.
