[HELP] Custom battery icons for EB 4.0.4

I love the EB ROM and the ICS look and feel. However I can't stand the battery icon and percentage distributions. I'm trying to create my own.
I went into the systemui.apk, decompiled with APK multi-tool, edited stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge XMLs and swapped PNGs.
I edited the sys_battery XML to look like this:
<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_0" android:maxLevel="0" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_battery_1" android:maxLevel="1" />
All the way until I got to 100. I did the same thing for the sys_battery_charge XML but of course in its specific structure but the same method.
Compiled APK and set permissions to RW R R and placed into system/app and replaced old systemui.apk.
The new battery Icon appears and looks great but it is NOT accurately portraying the phones real battery percentage level. I even went as far as editing the same XMLs in the framework-res.apk but it had ZERO affect on my issue.
Any help please is GREATLY appreciated! This is my first attempt at doing any coding/theming/etc. so I am a complete newbie at this kinda stuff.

Hello,
there are many ways to make status bar shadow, here's I share the simple way..
1. after decompile your systemUI, Go to SystemUI.apk\res\values and open drawables.xml and focus on this line and remove it:
Code:
<item type="drawable" name="status_bar_background">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</item>
2. create file : \SystemUI.apk\res\drawable\status_bar_background.xml and fill with this :
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:startColor="#00000000" android:endColor="#66000000" android:angle="@integer/status_bar_recents_bg_gradient_degrees" name="status_bar_background" />
</shape>
in previous guide, the developer wrote "android:endColor" with value "#99000000", it's your choices...
3. Compile it. Done.

[TUT]Developing G3 TweaksBox Themes

As many of you know, in the new release of G3 TweaksBox i implemented a theme engine that allows users to develop their own themes.Creating themes is really simple:at the end of this post you can find a theme example i created with resources provided by @Kickoff and an empty theme template you can use to develop your own themes.
What can you theme ?
SystemUI(see LGSystemUI.apk)
LockScreen(see LGKeyguard.apk)
Phonebook,InCallUI,TeleService(see LGContacts.apk,InCallUI.apk,LGTeleservice.apk)
Message App(see LGMessage.apk)
Settings(see LGSettings.apk and LGEasySettings.apk)
More to come....
1)Modify the package name:
Open the MANIFEST(AndroidManifest.xml) and change the package name.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="[COLOR="Red"][B]it.ptoti.systemui_theme.htc[/B][/COLOR]"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="19"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="it.ptoti.systemui_theme.htc.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.systemui.THEME"/>
<!-- <action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.settings.THEME"/> -->
<!-- <action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.lockscreen.THEME"/> -->
<!-- <action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.incallui.THEME"/> -->
<!-- <action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.phonebookapp.THEME"/> -->
<!-- <action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.messageapp.THEME"/> -->
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
2)Change Theme Name:
Open the strings.xml file(res/values/) and change the theme name
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="app_name">[COLOR="Red"]HTC Panel THEME<[/COLOR]/string>
</resources>
2-1)Add Intents in the Manifest File:
Code:
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.systemui.THEME"/> [COLOR="Red"]for the LGSystemUI[/COLOR]
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.settings.THEME"/> [COLOR="red"] for the LGSettings[/COLOR]
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.easysettings.THEME"/> [COLOR="red"] for the LGEasySettings[/COLOR]
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.lockscreen.THEME"/> [COLOR="red"]for LGKeyGuard[/COLOR]
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.incallui.THEME"/> [COLOR="red"] for InCallUi[/COLOR]
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.teleservice.THEME"/> [COLOR="red"] for TeleService[/COLOR]
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.phonebookapp.THEME"/> [COLOR="red"]for LGContacts[/COLOR]
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.messageapp.THEME"/> [COLOR="red"]for LGMessage[/COLOR]
Manifest example : Here you can see a manifest example of theme for SystemUI and Settings only
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="it.ptoti.systemui_theme.template"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="19"
android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
<application
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="it.ptoti.systemui_theme.htc.MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
[COLOR="red"][SIZE="3"] <action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.systemui.THEME"/>
<action android:name="it.ptoti.g3_tweaksbox.settings.THEME"/>[/SIZE][/COLOR]
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
3)REPLACING RESOURCES:
REPLACING QUICKSETTINGS' ICONS AND ANIMATIONS:
You just have to put your modified resources in the relative folders. Drawables MUST have the same name they have in the SystemUI package: if G3 TWB finds them it replaces the original resources with the themes' ones.
Also,you have to add these lines to the theme.xml you can find in the xml folder
<Drawable name="indi_noti_rearrange_normal" />
<Drawable name="indi_noti_rearrange_pressed" />
<Drawable name="quicksetting_button_edit_bg" />
REPLACE OTHER RESOURCES:
Other resources MUST be ALSO defined in the relative xml file you can find in the xml folder:
theme.xml -----------------> For the SystemUI
theme_contacts.xml -------------> For LGContacts.apk
theme_incallui.xml ---------------> For InCallUI.apk
theme_lockscreen.xml -----------> For LGKeyGuard.apk
theme_messageapp --------------> For LGMessage.apk
theme_settings.xml ---------------> For LGSettings.apk
theme_teleservice.xml------------------> For LGTeleService.apk
theme_easysettings.xml---------------> For LGEasySettings.apk
Let's take a look to an example.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<G3_TweaksBox_SystemUI_Theme version="1">
<Drawable name="ic_brightness_auto_check"/>
<Drawable name="ic_launcher_settings" />
<Drawable name="scrubber_primary_holo" />
<Drawable name="ic_notify_settings_set" />
<Drawable name="indi_noti_btn_vol_set" />
<Drawable name="ic_notify_quicksetting_brightness_panel" />
<Drawable name="ic_notify_quicksetting_ringtone" />
<Drawable name="indi_noti_btn_clear" />
<Color name="np_clock" replacement="#FF00FF00"/>
<Color name="bg_expanded" replacement="#FF000000" />
</G3_TweaksBox_SystemUI_Theme>
To replace a drawable the syntax is:
Code:
<Drawable name="name_of_original_drawable" replacement="name_of_the_drawable_in_your_theme" / >
The replacement attribute is optional: if you name the drawable as the original one in the SystemUI you can omit it.
You can also replace a Drawable with a color with the following syntax:
Code:
<Drawable name="name_of_original_drawable" replacement="colorDrawable:#AARRGGBB" / >
Where AARRGGBB is the color code in the ARGB format(but you can use also RGB format)
To replace a color the syntax is the following:
Code:
<Color name="name_of_original_color" replacement="#AARRGGBB" />
If you want to replace a drawable(or a color) which is actually in the framework-res you can use the same syntax but you have to add the packageRes attribute, example :
Code:
<Drawable respackage="com.lge" name="switch_thumb_activated_holo_light"/>
To replace a dimension the syntax is the following:
Code:
<Dimen name="name_of_original_dimension" replacement="20.0" />
The replacement must be a dip value not a px one.
To replace an integer the syntax is the following:
Code:
<Integer name="name_of_original_integer" replacement="20" />
To assign a backgound(Drawable or Color) to any layout the syntax is the following :
Code:
<LayoutBackground name="layout_name" background="name_of_the_drawable" />
To assign a background(Drawable or Color) to any child layout the syntax is the following :
Code:
<LayoutBackground name="master_layout_name" child="child_layout_name" background="name_of_the_drawable" />
That's all,remember to sign the theme before trying to install it. The TUT will be updated when new features are added to the theme engine.

Very good work!

You can't theme SoftKeys in this way. SoftKeys res are actually out of the SystemUI package. The ROM already comes with a SoftKey theme engine which is fully working if you are using G2/G3 TWB. I explained a long time ago how to develop softkeys themes infact you can find a lot of themes already on the scene

Also softkeys are themeable, simply you can't theme them using this TUT. If you want i can write another tut explaining how to develop softkeys themes. Anyway yes at the moment you can theme only the SystemUI but, as i explained in the first post the theme engine is in a early stage. It will be much more powerful in the 1.3 and you will able to theme other apps too.

Strings.xml is not present in values folder.
and values 11 and 14 gives me errors. One of them is empty. other one has: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="AppBaseTheme" parent="@android:style/Animation.TypingFilterRestore" />
</resources>

You could change the activity name without generating any issue but i don't advice it. Some AV could report the theme as a false positive if the manifest point to a non-existing activity(don't ask me why but i saw this with softkeys themes). If you want to change the name since you are using eclipse you can safely do it with re-factoring: Right click on the activity------------->Refactor------------>Rename

Sorry for the noobness. But are we supposed to copy this folder "drawable-640dpi" from the htc example. And then change icons?. ?
Cause That folder is not inside the eclipsetemplate

The template is empty. You have to copy high res to drawable-xxxhdpi which is the same of drawable-640dpi. Obviously you can copy all res from the HTC package but you should copy also selectors and anims that are in drawable folder(basically you have copy the drawable and drawable-640dpi folders).

ok - so these need to stay? values-v11

No, you can delete them. That folder was automatically created, it's not needed for the theme.

Just making sure, but is there a difference between pixel icons and stock Android icons?
If there isn't, ViperU should have them because I distinctly remember the icons being different from HTC's. Especially the VPN icon.

decompile the system ui apk and replace the stock stat_sys images with the pixel ones

badboys rom has aosp based statusbar icons.

wow how times have changed since the m7. i thought U11 system ui would be the same.
is the xml edit a matter of changing the img reference to another folder that do have the google status images already embedded somewhere? or is it a smali edit?
with the m7 i could either do xml reference edit or overwrite image files.

wow how times have changed since the m7. i thought U11 system ui would be the same.
is the xml edit a matter of changing the img reference to another folder that do have the google status images already embedded somewhere? or is it a smali edit?

Are you rooted? I have a Layer I made that works on the HTC 10 to give AOSP style signal icons. If you want to try it let me know. Basically copy it into /system/vendor/overlay and set permissions.

i don't have an U11 yet. still on the fence, but once sprint officially brings the Solar Red or Amazing Silver to their network and maybe drop the retail price down by $50-100 then i'm on the U11. i know it aint going to be $696 for long hoping by Fall/Winter they worked all the production kinks out, drop the price a little and maybe include a few extra goodies in there to entice the late adopters once sales cools off

the stock htc icons on the unlocked version are images that can be swapped...I'm sure there are several ways to accomplish the same goal, but my method adds the google xmls back to systemui (ie..google_stat_sys_signal_0.xml) then I change the resource value in HtcIcons.smali to point to those xmls, here's an example of one of the xmls...I'm not sure how the Pixel sets those icons, xml or imgs
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector android:height="17.0dip" android:width="17.0dip" android:autoMirrored="true" android:viewportWidth="24.0" android:viewportHeight="24.0"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<path android:fillColor="#ffffffff" android:pathData="M2.000000,22.000000l20.000000,0.000000 0.000000,-20.000000z" />
</vector>

I do not, sorry. I never use VPN so never looked for it.

my method does not yet work on Oreo as apktool needs to be updated to modify & compile SystemUI
