I'm trying to make a modded battery for the current custom ROM that I'm running (Smooth ICS 5.1).
I had never used the UOT Kitchen before yesterday and let's just say that it didn't exactly go the way I thought it would. I tried making a few battery mods yesterday but they didn't work when I flashed them. From what I understand, you need to upload framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. That's what I did. 2 of the times I got a file back that didn't change anything after it was flashed. The other two times I got errors from the UOT Kitchen with regard to the cooking of the file.
Am I doing something wrong here? I've done quite a number of searches and can't really find anything helpful. Is there some other change I have to make? Some other file I need to upload? I'd really appreciate the help.
Thanks a lot!

I don't think it works on ics. I haven't tried, but that's what I hear. I've used it plenty of times on GB though, and it works fine.

Excuse me for asking. I recently started to make my own modified rom. I was wondering if it would be possible to have LWP added to a stock rom? The software base is 2.1-update1. I was trying to avoid using a lot of other roms because I don't like certain things on each. Any help? Sorry if i posted in wrong forum.
Just for reference.
After a couple more hours of google I found this:
forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/9679-mods-add-ons.html
The 2 Zip Files are what I flashed. And they work great, but are a little slugish.

yes, it can be done. dangerrom has lwp on a stock rom. he has the live wallpapers set out as a seperate download as lwp.zip.
i am not 100 percent sure but i think that it should work on a stock sprint rom as well...
if i installed the LWP.apk on my rooted htc hero from csouth running the stock 2.1 rom, would it work?
I'm looking for a deodexed JVB, extended menu and 5 locks screen. Without all the other theme mods.
Maybe check docs rom kitchen in i9000 forum

I have that rom.. I just don't have a way to do the 5 locks for JVB or the extended power menu...
There are topics in the I9000 section that cover what your looking for.

Cezar has a ROM, Continuum v5 (here). maybe you could download it and extract what you are looking for. Or, just use the ROM
Because most themes IMO are ugly. I personally like the stock samsung with some small modifications. No one does that. I haven't found one rom from the developers that don't screw with the theme. Not everyone likes what you like. The best I can do is download something from the romkitchen with the stock theme and get smart little remarks when I try to ask for help.

There you go, dude. Completely stock except for xcal's kernel, 5 lock screen mod, built in ad blocking, overscroll effect and crt off. Also has launcher2, but it seems the icons in the app drawer are fuzzy, so if that bothers you, you might want to set touchjizz as the default launcher.
It also won't flash bootloaders, so you'll need to find the new 2.3 ones somewhere else. I recommend just flashing the stock jvb from samfirmware.com with xcal's kernel, then flashing this over it with CWM.
Maybe wait it out for Perception II? DG ROMs usually have a pretty stock feel to them.
MM do you know where I can find a tut on adding the extended menu and such. I'm interested in the dev part. Just hard finding anyone willing to help you get started.

The one I linked you to has the extended power menu. Doing it yourself is a bit involved.. you have to decompile the .dex/.odex executable with baksmali.jar and edit the code (.smali files), then recompile it with smali.jar and repackage the apk. I don't know if there are any actual tutorials that go in depth on the topic; at least I haven't seen any. It's really kind of a dive-in-and-do-it thing.
If you want to try adding common features like that to a bare rom though, there are a lot of precompiled versions floating around on xda where you just have to replace the .jar file in the proper directory. Just search for the feature you want and chances are pretty high that someone already made a standalone cwm flashable zip of it. Either that or you can try pulling it out of existing roms and popping it in to your own, provided they're based off of the same build of android.
You should check out MikeyMike's rom building tut. It's one of the stickied threads at the top of the general section. It goes over the basics pretty well.
thanks man. I'm going to have to give it a shot. This zip won't work with CWM 3
My Gingerbread ROM will have a very stock theme.

Hey guys, I've managed to achieve 1% battery steps on Froyo!
It has been tested in quite some Froyo roms by now, and it seems to work great! No battery drains or anything like that.
In order to obtain one percent battery steps, your rom/theme must give support to it. I've modified EphuNord (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046027) Gingerbread theme to add support to it.
So, the only thing you need to do is to apply the battery_step.zip attached. It replaces your /system/lib/libandroid_servers.so. This library was extracted from Milestone FroyoMOD rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=815595).
ATTENTION:
I recommend you installing 2nd-init (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pedronveloso.sndinitdefy) and making a nandroid backup before applying this patch. If anything goes wrong (i.e. the library is not compatible with your rom), you'll be stuck in Motorola logo, so starting custom recovery on 2nd-init and restoring the nandroid backup is the easiest way to get your phone back!
Thanks 89luca89 for the library.
Thanks Ephumuris for the rom and original theme.

Thanks! Working on S.Froyo II with custom BlueGingerbread framework.
Thanks! Also working on Froyo - Barebones v1.5.5
What modification needs for theme to use this mod?
Does it affect battery life?

You don't need this thing for CM7 ... this one is for Froyo ROMs.
CM7 already has it included.
@slph You must modify framework-res.apk in order to include icons for every battery step. You have also to change the xml that describes battery behavior.

Maybe you can try using CM7 system/lib/libandroid_servers.so. However, I cannot ensure it will work.

thx but i didn't work.
i know what i have to change in the libandroid_servers.so to but i don't know how.
no skills in de/recompiling the .so file
I have EphuNord rom, applied the theme you made, but didn't work. Since it works for others i guess i did something wrong. Now i'm stuck in a bootloop
But look on the bright side, now i have something to do tonight

please... post a model with battery from androidian theme!
or explain me what font and size used in... ^^
can i use this on a stock froyo 2.2.1? i have 3.4.3_11-Stock.UKTmobile_BLUR...
@shibabz03
Applying the patch might work, but make a nandroid backup before flashing it in case something goes wrong.
The theme, however, must be made for your ROM. The one in the first post just works with EphuNord and others nordic based ROMs.
@Jean-DrEaD
I've attached the images used for battery.
Can I just extract this *.so and replace the one in the official (but rooted) froyo?
anybody have any luck with the Hammerhead rom? I've tried making a few battery mods and havehad no luck. I seem to be able to get it done on most other devices. I'm using the framework-rez.apk from the rom.
It keeps throwing up errors in the pickup section and fails to cook, any ideas?
I am fixing to give it a shot.... never tried anything like this so we will see
Well good luck, it's very cool I've used on 3 phones and my xoom on my previous rom. I'm just pulling my hair out with this Hammerhead ROM, can't seem to get any UOT love.
same problem... posted a similar question in the rom thread, haven't had anyone declare success so assume there is something in the framework uot doesn't like
I dont think its compatible with anything higher than gingerbread... I thought about trying it too lol
Sent from my Evo3D
I've used it on other Honeycomb roms, well at least the battery icon.
worked fine on honeycomb 3.2 with the manta ray rom and katana kernel... something changed in either hammerhead or tachi
Anybody made any progress here or have any luck?

nah I just been using the framework from the 2.01 with no issues on my Xoom or UOT kitchen
Most likely the kitchen doesn't support the android 3.2 framework yet.
If you really want to change your battery icons etc, you will need to use the modified apktool that lowtraxx released.
In no way did we intend to break support with UOT kitchen. You will find that the stock 3.2 fw-res won't work with it either.
Like the title says I'm working on building a ROM of my own. I am new to this but am not stupid. I've looked around the forums and have bookmarked quite a few threads that will help me. My question is, how would I go about putting a custom CWM flashing screen in? Like on Eman..and ZTR where it says Collective, and flashing modem, etc. etc. And if anyone can point me to a better "ROMS for dummies thread that would be great Thanks for any help
Edit: Scratch that question, just found it lol. But any pointers will still be appreciated
So you are set?

Are you on linux? If you are, then i sugest installing android utility, its probably the simplest way of getting everything installed and organize it all together. It installs dsixda rom kitchen, apktool, simpla adb interface-im out of town at the moment but when i get back (friday night) i can upload some pics of the android utility

^ Alright man thanks. I'll have to install a linux partition on my HDD but that's easy enough. I do have one question that's confusing me...How do I add things to my rom? For example the camera mod where you can take pics with the power button? I have the apk but when I replace it at system/app it Fc's. Do I need to put the other files that come with it in my rom? Same problem with EPM. I have the settings apk but it doesn't work..

For camera I believe you will also need to pull the camera firmware apk too-so you need to put the modded camera.apk and camera firmware.apk in your from (both can be obtained from any of bigfaus roms
For epm you need more than just the settings apk, you also need to replace the frameworks that come with epm (policy.jar, framework-res.apk, and framework-res.jar) I believe that's all you need
As always, if you choose to upload your rom for others be sure to give credit-bigfau for camera, and I'm assuming you got epm from dman so dman for epm
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
Also for battery mods (and other stuff too) a great place to go is a website called UOT kitchen-just choose your battery mod then upload your frameworks and it will place the modded battery in there for you, then replace your old frameworks with the new ones from uot kitchen
*do this after you have epm set up and running...unless you plan on doing it manually using dmans how to guide*
