[Q] Replace battery icon - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Hello Forum. I would like to know how do I go about changing the battery icon in the ASOP Style v3.3.1 rom to look like the Valhalla Final battery icon? I was going to just replace the framework.apk with the new icons but the battery icon in ASOP goes in 1% increments rather then 5% like Valhalla. I would appreciate any help I can get since I'm a noob at this stuff. Thanks in advance!

download rom toolbox from market...
you can change the icons there...
there's Alot of icons to choose from
--------------------------------------------------
Im willing to help others...
Feel free to pm and ask a question...
*just don't flame if I get something wrong sometimes, I'm only a HUMAN NOT AN ANDROID :-D
Oh btw.. Hit thanks if I helped

Thanks for the response. I have looked at Rom Toolbox as an option but it doesn't quite have the same battery icon I'm looking for. I was really hoping for directions to just port over the Valhalla icon myself, if that's even possible.

You might just try pushing the tweaks.apk in your ROM. It might have the battery icon you are looking for in it. I don't know. Just a though. I am suggesting this because this is where we have our status bar tweaks, including battery, on VB Final.
You can read over this to see what the tweaks are for.

Thanks I'll give it a try.

Didn't work.
Ok so I pushed the Tweak.apk to the /system/app folder but it didn't help. I think the battery icons are located in the SystemUI.apk file. Which is what i originally was going to push but there are far more battery icons in the ASOP rom then Valhalla.
So I guess what I want to know is how do I change the mod of 1% battery increments to 5% so that I can use Valhalla's icons. I still appreciate the suggestions though.

I could be wrong but just replace them. If there is no icon to show it will leave the current one until the next one with the proper name is called.
Just rename them exactly like the current ones on the 5% mark are and delete the old ones. If you use UOT that is how it would do it.

Ok so I replaced the icons and now the battery icon is a constant red bar with an exclamation point. I named all the icons accordingly and erased the extra ones but no luck. Let me know if I did something wrong, thanks.

Got it!
After many attempts and fails I finally got it to work. What I was doing wrong was not adding the stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charging.xml file to the framework apk. I just took them from the Valhalla rom. I'd like to thank everyone for the ideas and suggestions.

They should work. There is a backup there so download that also and go try things out.

[REQUEST] Notification bar tweaks

I decided to play around with my phone and create a new layout. I'm currently using GC 1.9.1 and would like to have the battery and time icons removed, and( unless someone can point me to a text widget) have the signal indicator colored white. Attached is a screenshot of my current layout. I'm trying to go for a very simplistic text layout. If anyone can lend their assistance I will make sure there is some monetary compensation. Thanks in advance!

My sugestion would be to wait. Making the clock and battery go away will be an option kn GC 2.0. We are getting close to finishing, it wont be long now. I cant give you an exact time, as we ourselves dont know, but hang in there, great things are coming.

Just checked. Yes it is an option.
Backup your current services.jar or you can pull it from the gummy zip just in case you want to revert but here you go, will remove the battery and clock. Just flash it in recovery, been using it for a week or so and it works fine.

Thanks mbh! That worked fine. Now I guess I gotta wait on GC 2.0 to be able to remove the signal indicator.

I hate the clock in the bar since I run a bigass time widget. I also run a battery percentage widget so I look for a non accurate battery icon, but nuking it is even better. Thanks

circular battery indicator

Circular battery indicator to replace standard one, is there any out yet for o3d ?
Me too
I would also like to know if there is an easy way to mod the battery icon, As i remember there was an app on the market for the Galaxy-s, Would this be possible for O3D?
Regards
Mark
You should try using uot kitchen or a theme from the theme and apps section. You can change quite a bit on there.
I'm a bit of a newbie but could someone make an apk that changes the battery icon for rooted devices. I looked at the kitchen and didnt feel too comfortable doing it!!!

Is this what you are looking for [THEME] TWuniversal Simple Blue and Black (Updated 10.10.12).
Or these:
[Theme][ZipThemer]ICS AOSP Blue 0.02 All TouchWiz ROMs ICS/JB [9/10/2012]
Motomoto00 Blue Theme by Motomoto00, ☆☆☆☆☆[THEME][JB & ICS]ICS Blue Mod V4.1 Designed for Blue lovers
[THEME] Blue UI SGS3
Or the The Ultimate S3 Themeing Thread may be what your looking for, and if non of these are what your looking for, check out ROM Toolbox(I think you need to pro version for themeing various parts of your phone) it has a bunch of handy tools for themeing your phone.
Thank you very much. Im gonna try the top one first. The moto one has no link cause thats the one i was talking about in my thread lol.
Romtool box is great but i does not work at a on my gs3 when it comes to themes :-\. I have the pro verison and it does nothing. Idk why

If you really wanted true customization you could read up on TW customization and the decompile certain file and make your own images to suit any style you wanted.
This is true. Problem is is that im busy all the time and dont get much time to actually sit down and learn this kind of stuff.
PS
Everything i try that actually installs and i can boot up, i get a UI System stopped working and i have no status bar. Idk how fo fix that. Everything is themed like it shows but no status bar at all. Completely gone. Ugh this is frustrating lol
Also i have 2 "res" folders in my systemui.apk file.... idk why. Odd. And i cant edit out one of them with rootexplore or nothing cause its a apk ofcourse... I have tried this ninja app thing on the market and it is supposed to edit them but it wont see both res folders so something is up... and not making sense. Ill just nandroid backup for now until someone has a idea lol. Remember, every theme does this to me.

I'd re-install the rom your using, wipe data (Backup data you don't want to loose first) and cache, make a backup of this stock rom. Then use adb to pull systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk from your phone to your computer. Next use apk tool or a similar tool to decompile the apk, then make the changes you want (Changing images, changing xml, etc.), after you have completed this recompile the apk (Or apks). Do not sign system apps, make sure permissions are correctly set, then push the apk back to your phone. Check out this guide for more info.
Seems like wayyy to much to do for a theme lol. I have a couple ideas im gonna try and see how it goes. Thanks for the imput! Really do appriciate it!
Update:
I can use KindaCrapMods to change my status bar by itself. I do like that. I have not tried it with a theme but i think some things my interact with theme + mod and not work right. Idk for sure. Just a guess

[BATTERY MOD] Clean Rom 4.5 1% Battery Mod

This is a 1% Battery Mod for Clean Rom 4.5. You can use it as is or use it to apply any of my real icon theme batteries.
Get it Here
edit: hey guys. Sadly, my 1% battery mod works BUT NOT WITH MY THEME. What irony. so please dont try themtogether , you will lose your status bar. Beans and Synergy have one built in already so those are ok with my theme. These work if you just want them by theirselves.

it doesnt have one built in. i made one but unfortunately when you put my theme on top of it it gets rid of your status bar. Not sure why they dont play together. I noticed someone mentioned kinda crap mods. That might be a good place to start. He has had some pretty good stuff in there. Maybe I should tap him for his expertise.

First thanks for the mod. :thumbup:
I noticed today that the 100% image is of the stock battery. As soon as it hits 99% it goes back to your battery.
