[MOD] Vanilla Lockscreen WITHOUT Sprint/Time/Date (Now w/o Haptic Option)

EDIT: This mod has been integrated directly into the Fresh 2.1.2 ROM, thus, to date, I have yet to update it as a standalone MetaMorph / Zip.
Based on popular demand, I decided to take a look at the Vanilla Lockscreen today, to see if there was a way to remove the majority of text from the screen, so that all you are left with, for the most part, is the slider bar for screen unlock and the slider bar for volume on/off.
It turned out to be quite an undertaking, and required some significant code modifications, and unfortunately, a single hex edit to an XML file, meaning the mod is spread across 2 files, rather than my goal of 1. But, having said this, I am pleased to announce my efforts were not in vain.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, a completely clear Vanilla lockscreen for your enjoyment . Special thanks to flipzmode for the original format fix on the vanilla lockscreen. My starting point for working on this fix was the android.policy.jar file containing flipz's fix for the formatting, emergency call, as well as the menu key unlock disable.

}
First, if you are currently running the stock HTC Lockscreen, if you wish to move to the Vanilla lockscreen, after flashing one of the options below, you will need to move your HTC Lockscreen out of the way, via adb, by doing the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
This will NOT delete your stock lockscreen, rather, simply move it out of the way, so that if you want to move back to the stock lockscreen, you can also undo your change:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.bak HtcLockScreen.apk
exit
As mentioned, above, the fix is across two framework files, 'android.policy.jar', as well as the 'keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml' file in the \res\layout folder of the 'framework-res.apk' file.
Attention: Since you are changing a core android framework file, after flashing, your Dalvik cache will get rebuilt, so rebooting will take some time, based on the number of apps you have installed. Be patient and watch your logcat.
So, here are your 2 options.
Option #1
Option #1's flashable zip contains BOTH files. Flash this for a completely clear vanilla lockscreen ONLY if you have not made any other changes (themes) within your framework-res.apk file (custom taskbar), as the zip will return this file back to stock, with the exception of my fix for the lockscreen.
Vanilla Lockscreen No Text Complete <---Only flash if you are running stock theme from Fresh 2.0d.
Option #2
Option #2's flashable zip contains the 'android.policy.jar' file ONLY. Flash this to make the primary framework file change:
Vanilla Lockscreen No Text Jar Only <---This is the .jar file only.
Then, after flashing the jar file only, you will need to manually edit your 'framework-res.apk' file, by placing the file below in the framework-res.apk's '\res\layout\' folder.
keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml.txt<---Remove .txt extension after downloading.
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .
Open 'framework-res.apk' with WinRar or 7zip, navigate to the '\res\layout\' folder, and drag and drop the above XML into this folder. Close up the file, then:
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb reboot
If you are running a different ROM, other than stock espresso Fresh 2.0d, then Option #2 presented above is your best course of action, so as to not mess up your existing taskbar, etc.
Also, it should be noted, this does not contain any of the Alarm clock changes, etc, necessary when you are using the Vanilla lockscreen. Please see Flipz's site for flashing the needed files if you are NOT already running the Vanilla lockscreen and don't want to have alarm clock disable issues.
EDIT: If you prefer an opaque (non-transparent) black background, rather than the default / semi-transparent, please see here.
EDIT 2: If you are a MetaMorph user, thanks to danaff37 for putting together a few MetaMorphs of my mod that you can use as well.
EDIT 3: New version posted which allows for a background wallpaper image instead, see here.
EDIT 4: See this post to remove the haptic feedback after having first flashed your desired vanilla version above.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet! I just wish the HTC clock/weather widget updated under the lock screen

Awesome! Thanks man!
Does this include the no-menu-unlock mod too?

Lol, jschisurf, you are beast with these mods, not gunna lie
I've got a deodex'd legend rom, so i'm gunna see what i can do based off this

just out of curiosity, have you removed the haptic feedback from the lock as well? that was something I had asked a few other Devs about.

No, I did not look at that at all. It's not something that bothers me / wasn't aware of it as an "popular" request. I can certainly look at it though.

I'm not sure that it's a "popular" request just something I was asking Konikub about and he had agreed that he didn't like it either. It just seems to cause a bit of a lag when unlocking my phone. If it's something that cannot be done without a lot of work I will live with it.

You "ARE" the man!!!!! This is just what I was looking for A true master, at such a tricky craft!!! All hats go off to you!!!

so we can't use a custom theme in addition to this?

Sure, use Option #2, as explained.

if i was to use option two would it mess with my lock that i have now ?

I apologize for what I'm certain is a noob question but...

How? Are you saying we need to hex edit framework-res.apk, or just stick
"keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml" someplace?

id use this lock screen if we could apply custom background wallpapers.

It would change the background for opaque black to semi-transparent as shown in the OP, but your graphics would remain unchanged.

All the heavy lifting is already done for you. Yes, per the instructions, just stick "keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml" in the \res\layout folder in 'framework-res.apk'.

For me, it defeats the point / goal of what I wanted to achieve, i.e. seeing clear through to the desktop behind the lockscreen, with nothing obstructing the view...

[MODS] by neb

I decided to start this thread because I just finished my first EVO mod.
I'll continue to use this thread to post any more stuff I do in the future.
Don't expect too much from this thread, I'm pretty much a weekend warrior when it comes to this stuff but I do like to tweak things to my preference and if anyone else digs it then cool.
I'm partial to DC roms so anything I post here was built on DC, if it's not I will clarify.
Most DC mods will work on other roms also built on the Sprint release but I make no guarantees and will probably not be doing any testing on other builds
NANDROID FIRST!!!

Battery Gauge Icons
I haven't figued out how to make the .xml's for metamorph so these are flashable signed.zips of each battery set.
I've also included a NON flashable .zip of all the flashable .zips and a .zip of the images for
those who would like to drop the .png's in themselves to preserve any other themes/mods (to the framework-res.apk).
See the bottom of this post for "How To Add .pngs to framework-res.apk".
None of these have a BG, I put gray behind them so you can see the depth a little better

My first Metamorph!! METAMORPH _ GlowBattery.zip
Metamorph - View attachment GlowBattRN.zip
DOWNLOAD - batt_round_blue_signed.zip
DOWNLOAD - batt_round_white_signed.zip
These two .zips are NOT flashable.
They are a .zip of all of the flashable .zips above (if you want to try more than one )
and a .zip of the .pngs themselves along with the .psd (if anyone wants to play )
They also both include this Alarm ON Icon
Battery_Gauge_Set.zip (all the flashable zips above)
nebs_2.2_batt_Icons.zip (all the icon .pngs)
I just realized the Alarm ON Icon I included has the stock Sense taskbar bg..
Here is one w/o the bg if anyone wants it:

HOW TO CHANGE FRAMEWORK ICONS AND PRESERVE OTHER MODS:​These instructions will work on Sprint/HTC as well as AOSP builds​
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP !!!!
Plug phone into PC (USB)
Open a cmd prompt (may need to open as administrator in win7/vista, not sure)
Navigate to "c:\android-sdk\tools" (unless it's in your path)
Type the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\
Open a windows explorer window and locate the framework-res.apk you just pulled to c:\
Use 7zip or WinRAR to open the archive of the framework-res.apk (right click on the .apk)
In the archive of the .apk open res/drawable-hdpi, you should see a TON of .pngs
Open the folder that contains the images you want to use
Drag and drop the images into res/drawable-hdpi (the new images must be the same name as the original)
Close 7zip/WinRAR
Go back to your cmd prompt and type:
Code:
adb push c:\framework-res.apk /system/framework
[COLOR="green"][B]#Once the push is finished QUICKLY TYPE:[/B]
[/COLOR]
adb reboot
*Replacing framework-res can have some funky effects on the phone. When you are booted (only once, the first time after pushing the apk) it's likely your wallpaper will be reset to stock and you may have to add your google account back and re-sync, neither have been terribly inconvenient for me

how do you install? sorry for a noobish question.

place on root of sd, in recovery flash from zip.
works great with new DC rom.

^^ Boot into recovery and flash it like an update package.

BTW, flashed this and it works beautifuly had to re metamorph my battery icon, but other than that looks fantastic. Thank you.

Yeah I should have mentioned the notibar bg is part of the framework so there's lots of stuff that will return to stock if you flash this.

I expected it to replace it so it was no surprise when it did

What battery icons are you using?
I really liked the glassy looking 6bar battery icon set on the hero.

Beautiful man! Love it, had my nexus like that too. Looks real slick with the clear lock screen too. My phone is comming together perfectly, and you helped with that. So THANK YOU

Its one from the nexus one. Its a circular six part one. See attached.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Looks great on Calkulin's ROM. Thanks a lot

Thanks
Sup Nebz.. been a minute hope all is well. Thanks for the mods, awsome work.. added to themes for easy find. Keep up the skills

good stuff Nebz

FYI .. this messes up the battery icon with the ROMS with the new RUU .. ex fresh 1.01 .. battery icon turns into an ear

yup i am back to normal from the backup .. hopefully there will be an update on this mod

Working on stuff for 2.2 now..
I will be posting a transparent tray for DC FroYo soon
Right now I'm working on some taskbar icons. I thought it might be cool to have a fuel gauge for the battery..
I have the whole battery set done once I get a couple more things done I'll zip and sign an update if anyone's interested
I thought about doing a speedometer for cdma but FroYo only uses 4 icons..

I don't know how I'm gonna do EvDo yet. There are 8 images for evdo/1x...

[Q] Dark notification bar for 2.2

Does anyone still have instructions/required files for changing the notification bar on a 2.2 Droid X?
Before it is linked, I have already looked at teenfaces' thread; if you look, you'll notice that teenfaces has edited the initial post (presumably where the instructions were).
Just to cover all of my bases, I have tried the pre-2.2 post. (A boot loop says it doesn't work.)
Any suggestions?

If that is what you mean by notification bar, then changing that is pretty simple. I modify mine almost everyday. If you are rooted and have ninjamorph. The file is in System/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and is called status_bar_background.png. Simply modify that in photoshop, save as png and swap out with ninjamorph.
Alternatively I'm sure you could pull this out with adb. Commands would be
adb pull system/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png
then modify and save over that file
then adb push status_bar_background.png system/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png
then reboot.

That is what I mean.. However, in teenfaces' pre-2.2 post, it mentions changing the services.jar file.. Which is why I thought that simply changing the background image in the framework apk wouldn't work.
I have no experience with Ninjamorph. I'm not going to even try to play it off - I've only recently decided to take the plunge and root. (And I only decided to root because I wanted to change the font, phone-wide.) So, I'm pretty new to all of this.

Well welcome to theming. I am new to this as well. I have a few things on my modifying to-do list that I am completely stuck at. I will test out the adb codes I just posted and let you know for sure before you attempt.
{EDIT}Ok, this is best done with ninjamorph. I just tried through adb and got stuck in a bootloop. In photoshop create a document thats 480 x 770. This will be your statusbar background. Do what you want to it and save it as status_bar_background.png on your sd card where you can find it. I keep mine in a folder called THEMES.
In ninjamorph (free from market) Select:
Start Checks (will ask for root)
New Project
System
framework
framework-res.apk (it will extract the files)
res
drawable-hdpi
status_bar_background.png
then select the file you created from your sd card
hit the back button until you are on the main ninjamorph screen
select finish project
select framework-res
click yes
click no
click yes
it will reboot
when you reboot you may get a forceclose
hold your power button and reboot again
have fun!

Anywho. I'm interested in modifying the images for the battery, etc. I'm hoping to find those images in the framework-res.apk (I haven't looked yet.) Any words of caution before modifying those as well?

just make backups before attempting changing system files. I really do think ninjamorph takes the guess work out of a lot of things. I didn't have good luck pushing my framework-res.apk back in adb and that may be because of the rom I'm using. But there are lots of good batteries floating around on these forums. Good luck

Thanks for getting me started in the right direction!

You need to edit services.jar to change your font color to white. There is a video on youtube showing how to do this. Then the images are in the framework-res.apk open it with 7zip and move the new images into the .apk then boot to clockwork and push it with adb while in clockwork recovery. Then reboot. It should work, if not post back and I am sure someone here will try to help.
The actual .png for the status bar is statusbar_background.9.png. Since I don't know how to compile my own .9 png's I usually borrow somelses.

There is two files almost the same name. But the one I edited and got my name and fox logo on was Status_bar_Background.png... NOT the .9.png
Thats how it is on my rom anyways. I am realizing I have different system files than many people on here.

do you need to be deodexed for this to work? I've tried it twice now, and no dice.

you know what, i'm sorry guys, I didnt even consider that. I am running ApeX 1.3.1. which is a deodexed rom. That may have to do with some of the trouble you guys are running into.

I haven't tried anything yet (other than pulling the framework-res.apk). I'm still doing research. From what I've read, though, you definitely have to be deodexed.
I plan on attempting it this week.. If all goes well, I intend on writing some instructions up. In the meantime, if anyone else gets it done, feel free to post some helpful pointers!
Just so I'm clear, what I want to do is modify the notification bar and pull-down without using a rom.

I deodexed and tried a third time, still nothing. I think I'm deodexed that is. Is there any test to know for sure if your deodex process worked for sure? I used the OTA Auto-Deodex
to expand on part of your instructions
yes
no
yes
the actual questions I get are
Confirm action - overwrite with finished project -yes
confirm action - zip align -no
reboot phone - OK (no yes or no option)
and then only once did i get a last yes/no about cleaning up files. i said yes.
are these the correct answers? and on the hit back button until main ninjamorph menu, is that the phone back button, or the on screen back button?

all credit goes to him, great job dude!!!
please read the first post of that thread completely before proceeding
for this lockscreen u will need a few thigs:
*** if you dont know how to push/pull files from device visit the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842060
A) Clock font
Download the attached file "honeycomb_lockscreen_clockfont.zip" place it on the root of ur SDCARD and flash it via xRecovery, reboot...
B) "Lock" button
{Method 1} Automated (havent tried this myself by is suggested by the OP of that thread)
To get the lock follow the part on "Metamorph Instructions" given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602 thread and for X10...
If your not sure about which version your phone uses just use Astro or any other file manager and take a look at your /system/framework-res.apk file. Browse file the file and navigate over to the /res folder and you will see a drawable folder with either hdpi or hdpi-v4. Proceed to download whichever version your rom uses.
incase its HDPI the d/l this file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vchfnuiekvi3syi/Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI.zip...
incase its HDPI-v4 the d/l this file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7tqgs778yeawbqm/Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI-v4.zip
further instructions are given in above mentioned thread.
{Method 2} Manual-round-about-way (this is what I followed and works on FreeX10-Beta4+CM6 settings; should also work on CM7)
1> pull the file "framework-res.apk" from the /system/framework/ of ur current ROM, and make a copy of this file as a backup incase something goes wrong
2> extract the contents of the "Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI.zip" file stated above into another folder on ur computer. u will the get the following folders: framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi & framework-res\res\drawable-land-hdpi
3> open the "framework-res.apk" which you got from step 1 in WinRAR http://www.rarlab.com/ (this is wht i used), browse to framework-res.apk\res\ within WinRAR and copy the contents from the folders u got from step 2 to into the corresponding folders, i.e. files from framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi (or hdpi-v4) into framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi (or hdpi-v4) and files from framework-res\res\drawable-land-hdpi (or hdpi-v4) into framework-res.apk\res\drawable-land-hdpi (or hdpi-v4), within winrar window [while adding the files winrar will through up a window titled "Archive name and parameters" in this MAKE SURE THAT THE COMPRESSION METHOD IS CHANGED IT TO "STORE", after that click OK, the files will be replaced/added to the apk file]
4> once all files have been replaced, push the modified "framework-res.apk" to /system/framework/ on ur device. [they phone may reboot, but thats normal no need to panic]
* Incase either of these methods dont work just post ur framework-res.apk file here and i will do the necessary modifications n post it back...
Enjoy the Honeycomb look for your LockScreen!!!

Heres a flashable zip of the clock font only.

Nice find =D
Gonna test it tomorrow
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I'm on Free X10 beta 4, CM 6 (something). And lockscreen isn't applied with metamorph. It's just saying applying theme, but nothing happens.
When I tried to apply lockscreen manually, phone restarts and at some point bootscreen hangs, green led stays on and phone vibrates continiusly - so it's bricked.
I did get to recover system files with xrecovery.
But my question is, do I have to apply CM 7? Isn't there a way to use it on CM 6 or is this baseband problem, because my baseband version is 55.
I understanded that it works with CM 6 too.
Sorry for my bad English.

1stly i myself havent tried the Metamorph method...
manual method doesnt work? thats odd.. cause i am myself using FreeX10-beta4 + CM6 settings (on baseband 2.1.55) and manual way works flawlessly... sorry that ur device got bricked @ boot...
no no u dont need to apply CM7 (thats based on GB, a totally diff OS version 2.3.x)... it should work on CM6...
do one thing since u have got ur current system running just pull the framework-res.apk file from /system/framework/ and post it here (use some compression software, e.g.: winrar)... i will modify it and post it back...
btw did the clock font atleast change? and wht abt the bootscreen?

Clock font worked flawlessly, bootscreen I haven't tried.
Btw I pulled framework-res.apk with root explorer. Framework-res.apk is in attachment.

which ROM are u using?
do u have a X10 (came preinstalled with 2.1) or X10 HD (came preinstalled with 2.1)?

I'm using zdzihu 's Free X10 Beta 4 rom and CM 6 (I think it was CM-6.1.3-V4, but I'm not sure).
My X10i came with preinstalled 1.6.

i think i figured out the problem... the framework-res.apk which u posted is HDPI-v4 based as compared to HDPI (for which the link was posted in main post)... if u want to try the Metamorph method again try it with this file: HDPI-v4: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7tqgs778yeawbqm/Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI-v4.zip
anyways i had modified it to work for ur framework-res.apk... its attached here...
let me know if it works...

Yeah, I know that I need HDPI-v4. And I tried with HDPI-v4 metamorph - it didn't work. I tried with HDPI too and it didn't work either.
I'm gonna try your modifyed framework.
Your modifyed framework didn't work too. Again it just hanged in bootscreen. And again I restored to same point.

em ok... I am out now will create a recovery package when I get back

Give it a go then. Personally I hate 3rd party lockscreen apps as there is always that 1 sec lag for me, I have no knowledge of this app but it looks like another theme. Doubt you can move it around like the real honeycomb lock.

I tryed this app. There is a privew from honeycomb. You can move it around, but clock keeps moving around too. And if I press 2x back button, it just goes to homescreen. So it's too buggy.
And I don't really like 3rd party lockscreen too. So i sick with your lockscreen. It's really good looking.

[Request] Circle Battery Mod

Hi, I really like the circle battery mod. If anyone care enough to modified the zip below to a flashable battery mod zip for NeXus JB or Glorious Overdose V5 or give me some idea on what to search for or maybe something I can do on my own, it would be much appreciated.
I just recently started messing around with modding this year, after previously all I know is rooting, unlocking bootloader, and some adb stuff. I just know this is related to decompile the SystemUI.apk and change the frameworkres,apk, recompile and signed it *CMIIW*, but I don't know how to do the exact steps.
This is the sample of the circle battery mod, I attached the file from Dell Streak DSC ROM
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Or should anyone be interested on making other battery mod style, like this one :
or this one :
or this one :
Here's the reference thread from EVO 3D sub-forum :
[MOD]Battery Mods!
Thanks in advance. :highfive:

Try rom toolbox
They should have them
Unfortunatly i am messing with the clock at the moment (trying to get it to the center)
Or maybe look at the kitchen (some website people use to make all of these)

Thanks for the info, Man. Demkantor already made it in his Aroma Installer thread.
How's it go on modding the clock to the center? I'd love that one too~

ummm... well i can do it but the way i have it set up would then brake the battery icons, or i would have to do the clock + battery icon in same framework, doable but i mean, if you want it
if you want i could help you make some yourself, then you can do as many different styles as you want, all i would ask is that you post what you make so others can use it too... kinda my thing...

wow, that would be great ! please teach me, just the steps how to do it will do. :good:
of corze i'll share it if i ever succeed making some status bar mods. :fingers-crossed:

ok im assuming windows, can be done in linux as well, if you using mac i wont help
this is what you need

or something similar, you can push and pull with adb too
first so you know how to do it lets do this, make a back up, flash a different rom for our phone (one with a battery mod you like but similar base)
use root explorer, go to system>framework>framework-res.apk, copy it (may have to make r/w) and save it to sd card
or you can use adb
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\desktop
this will put the .apk on your desktop or you just take the one from sd card if you used root explorer
now use 7zip to open the flashable zip i made (extract files)
in the folder go to system>framework>and swap out the two framework-res.apks
now back out of folder until all you see is system folder and META-INF
highlight both
right click
choose add to archive
name it NEWBATTERYICON.zip (exactly)
make sure compression is set to store and hit go
not you have a flashable .zip, but its not signed, so either toggle verification in recovery or lets quick sign it
How To sign
need the latest java installed, get from below if needed
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html
take the signapk.jar tool
put it on the root of computer (directly in c:// no other folder)
open it up, place NEWBATTERYICON.zip in this folder allong with the other garbage
now open cmd in same location (hold shift, rightclick in folder and choose open command here or cd:/SignApk)
copy this and paste into cmd
java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 NEWBATTERYICON.zip NEWBATTERYICON-signed.zip
hit enter and wait a couple seconds
now use place the newly signed zip on sdcard and flash in recovery!
ok this was long, so if you handle all this fine let me know and ill teach how to modify vs just extracting and swapping!
good luck! and as always...
HAPPY FLASHING!

Ehh it went bad i kept having overlapping issues
I set it up where the time would be center . Tryed to get all apps to be in one icon which would go up in numbers (1,2,3) kinda thing) which didnt work then any new notification messed the things up and i tryed to make it where if connceted to wiffi the 3g bar goes away
Im not that good with android so i trashed it (wish it was more like ipod/phone where you can move it because its all one thing)
Looked like this @ is signal/wifi %battery +3 3 different notifications which i thing doesnt work atleast not for me

Sorry man I trashed it all an went back to stock
The main problem though was the notifications because they don't stack in till it hits the breaker so I tryed to move it all the way over to the side where it will hit after the 2nd notification
The signal an wifi need a new script I didn't mess with it I tryed the notifications first and clock with out am pm because if it's 7:00 an getting dark you know it's night
It's not much just 2 things that were moved (4 counting landscape)

just go to install zip and disable signature verification

Thanks, demkantor~ I've tried this extracting and swapping on other device, instead of SK4G, coz I couldn't find a good alternate rom to flash
Now lemme see how I can handle 'modify' phase of modding, I think I passed the 'extracting and swapping' phase, thanks to you :victory:

Yeah you can't use the framework from a different phone, but the icons are fine to use and flash. I'll be at a computer soon and I'll post some more icons as well instructions to decompile the framework-res.apk and swap icons
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

quick guide
sorry took me a while to get to a computer, ok here you go:
need to extract the apk tool from the the download all to one folder, open that folder and open a terminal into that location (hold shift and right click there or cd to it)
then make sure the system-res.apk is in this folder too
run this is terminal
Code:
java -jar apktool.jar if framework-res.apk
now run this
Code:
apktool d -f -r framework-res.apk
this creates a new folder, open it up, find res> drawable-hdpi
swap out the wanted icons for battery or whatever
once done run this in terminal
Code:
apktool b -f -d framework-res
wait a couple seconds to finish, open up that framework-res folder and youll see a new folder called build and one called dist, look in there for new apk
and just push it phone and change permissions or follow my instructions before to add it into my prebuilt flashable zips (best if you sign it too)
here is some various icons for you as well
OGBatteryMod v2.1.0.zip - 27.71 MB
also its hard for me to remember all the steps and what i type in terminal so i just made another one (bubbles) so i could make this guide, i am attaching it here. i dont have my phone to test it but this is the same way as the others so it should work fine. oh also i never upgraded my apktool so im using a real old build but the newer ones work similar i suppose, if not i can link you to the build i use or will update to a newer tool and see where the differences lie
good luck guys! im real glad you two are picking this up, its great to see so many interested in starting to develop!
and for anyone else wanting to try your hand at ill let you know once you get the hang of it something like this will take you ten minuets tops from start to finish.... just saying
as always, Happy Flashing!

yea i know that the frameworks are different but all icons are just that a .png file which can be moved around to any phone (faster way to theming for alot of lazy people xD
also i dont like siging them it takes awhile for me cuz everything on my computer is just everywhere. So if anyone would like to all they need is to be signed and done .... plus if they dont know how to turn off the signature check they should probably wait before trying in my opinion
Cyris battery with full charging should work (still going off the honeycomb.zip demkantor uploaded on another thread) i will get to the og battery in just a minute
and if you want i am free the next few weeks i graduated last week \^.^/ so im basically home the entire morning and night so i can make other battery's (p.s upload your framework if you dont want mostly everything blue) or if you give me a simple tut ill do other things as well (not a developer but i can do alot with a little)

p.s. demkantor you can change the icon files via 7zip (extract the files go to system>framework>right click >7zip>open archive>hdmi > then highlight all the icons and drag into archive and your done)
will make a new thread with all theicon mods i make soon and will sign them too
and for everyone else please look at " rom toolbox" for the batterys as well so i dont make multiple ones that are on there

Really? You just used 7zip to open the apk? I never tried, didn't even think of that, nice!
