I have made the Battery Percent in the middle again in CM-5.0.6 so far its working and i havent had any issues yet but i am still testing with it...
Services.jar is from CM-5.0.6 with moditfications made by me with the help from:
david1171 - Pointing me in the right file paths
sn0wmis3r - His theme Inspired me and pointed out the cc3.jar doesnt work with the percent icons. lol
brandenk - Created the battery icons.
enomther - Who made the guide to manually make text black to white
Cyanogen - The creator of CM
UPDATE 4/30/2010 - My custom made Services.jar is now able to be downloaded. I know it works for what i have with my theme. anyones elses theme i do not know about. This is not a update.zip nor a morph themed install. this is unzipped to services.jar. I made my own custom CM-5.0.6 the day after it was release and have been working on it since then till it was finished on 04/21/2010 and working.
How to use my services.jar:
If you bake your own Cyanogenmod-5.0.6-N1 Rom like i do, and also theme them with the circle battery and would like to have it centered plus running as a Black Themed base this is for you.
1. Download and unzip CM-5.0.6-N1 to its own folder.
2. Make the changes to the files that you need to do to make your theme black and with circle battery.
3. Unzip the services.jar into the /system/framework/ folder
4. repackage it up as a store only zip with the name of the zip not containing any spaces at all. (example: CM-5.0.6-N1-Themed.zip Not CM 5.0.6 N1 Theme.zip)
5. then sign your newly made custom rom of CM.
You are then ready to flash it to your phone.
NOTE: I am not responsible for your mistakes. do a nano backup before anything to your phone always.
If your wanting this into a morph well then you need to download this services.zip and extract the classes.dex file from the services.jar and place it where it needs to go.
I'll be working on a morph as soon as i can i have other projects i am helping with other on and i am busy with personal work crap as well lol...
again this is set for a black theme with white text and a centered percent numbers with the circle battery.
I can help you make the morph for the battery if you'd like. Just pm me the images and the services.jar with only the battery placement configurations?
I'm looking for the circle battery aswell
Sweet alright well i know sn0wmis3r will be updating his black matte morph soon as well. I will be making my own over the week. If i need help I will take you up on your offer Papichulo06 :-D
Thank you!
What color? I'm using the blue one found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652450

Just wanted to let you know, the Kspec morph is currently working on my N1 running CM 5.0.6. I used the Lite 1.1 version.
Are we talking about the same thing or am I missing something?
Dunno I havent seen what his icons are and if it shows the battery percent in center or not. i'll look into that later and find out what battery icon he has.
What exactly did you edit to get it to change?
I accomplished it by going in and using PSPad's text diff feature to see what was different in 5.0.5.3 com/android/server/status/StatusBarIcon.smali to the one in 5.0.6, and changed pretty much every difference, and I got it working (or well, I just copied the 5.0.5.3 one to 5.0.6, but when I did it for the different versions of the trackball successions services.jar, then I did it that way, only changing certain things).
Copied kinda like what you did only made sure i did not change pswitch and some other numbers. I dont use the trackball successions i dont believe (unless that built into 5.0.6 then i do) but so far my trackball works fine lights up with no issues. even on the live default wallpaper on cm-5.0.6 it works fine. I used Notepad++ and just used the clone to make one side one document and the other side the one i am messing with (basically the same thing but i just like notepad++ more). I'll up the services.jar file this weekend for sure.
With Pix now
can you share your wallpaper?
Wallpaper is fireworks Live Wallpaper in market. it will allow you to select different types of backgrounds with fireworks going on. :-D
Re: [WORKING] Circle Battery w/Percent in Middle CM-5.0.6 w/PIX
thx, and the dock that is rear the icons???
dock comes with helixlaunch2 also in market :-D got to love free stuff thats AWESOME!
the dock image comes with helixlauncher? i Have the helix2 that works with 5.0.6 and i dont know how to show it :S Thx for all
okay with helix 0.7 go to the config part and under the shortcuts advanced only you will see "Show Dock" that should put the dock on there for you. :-D
Do you have the newest version from HelixLauncher2 from Market? This has the dock.
This appears to be the battery I created for my Kspec themes located at http://alldroid.org/forums/911-Themes.

not unless you edit the framework.apk file...
yeh I figured I would have to edit that but im new to android and not sure what file and how to change it.

I don't believe it's possible without some 9patch editing. I tried it for my Xtreme theme. Any color modifications I made to it (changing it to all black, changing just the white speaker/unlock icon to red) rendered it "immovable." What I mean by that is, when I applied the changes, the lockbar would appear and vibrate/unlock fine, but it wouldn't "slide" like it's supposed to. Everything just stood still. So you would need to research the .9.png file editing and such to come anywhere close to being successful at this. If you're new to android and interested in any type of theming, I strongly recommend this article. The Ultimate Theming Guide
if you look at a few of my posts, one about themes for noobs you can easily figure out what to do. If your comfortable with it I might send you my red sliders from my UPgrade theme
Or if your really curious, google "draw9patch" tool then search over on droid forums for the xUltimate tool, and get the d9p compilerer
lots of learning off the bat but once you get it down its quite easy.
I also think there is a you tube video for ".9.png"
Hi,
I'm working on a theme for the nigtlies for myself (is going to be released later).
It is based on a GalaS theme with lots of elements of nextheme, some sense stuff, basically a mix of what i like from every theme i once applied for different roms...
My problem:
I'm getting bootloops after i changed the battery png's to cyrcle battery even though same number of pictures....
Does anybody know what i need to do to add the cyrcle battery style to my morph? Do i need another xml file which basically tells the ui that now it is a cycle battery?
Any help is appreciated..
i'm kind of lost here...
You should make sure you are saving them with the exact name of the stock icon files. They need to be a png 32 file with a transparent bg. Also make sure the name of the theme zip file is the same as your xml file.
As long as its the same number of files with the same name you should be good. Search in the morph sticky at the top of the forum and tear a couple of battery morphs apart and compare.
Well i tried that, no luck so far. Gonna compare some battery morphs later on.

Ok...here it is. I new too theming but I finaly created my first cm 6 theme to share with the community, besides a few minor tweaks it will be ready sometime this week. I ran into a problem I want to add a themed swiftkey apk for those of us who use it. I'm trying to make a black with blue glow. Now I successfully edited the png's via gimp but I ran into a problem some png's are indexed layered png's. I can't colorize them. I looked everywhere I could think of but could not find directions on how to edit those types of png's. Could someone send me a link on how to do this or just give me some pointers. If I posted this in the wrong forum...my bad I just figured I would ask here since it has to do with a theme. Anyways...I'd appreciate it.
Set the mode of the image to rgb then when your done editing set the mode back to indexed... in gimp.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks man I'll try that out.
Yea...that worked perfect only thing is when I press a key the keyboard force closes but I think I might not have switched the mode back to index on a couple. Thanks again.
Shouldnt matter... indexing is a way to optimize a png. What your doing is taking the colors and applying a 255, or less, color palette.
Your fcs might be that you ruined the 9patch pngs you can't edit these in gimp or ps it ruins the 9patch information... if you want to edit a 9 patch de compile the apk first then edit, leave the outside 1 pixel border untouched, then re compile it.

So, in case you didn't know already, the Continuum's soft keys are actually part of the one full screen... Which means we can change them with a little effort
Hit me with ideas with what you want to see within this thread
Here are the zips so far you need CWM
Here are the zips for 2.2 Froyo on the Continuum! Thank you biznazz for taking the time and porting them over He deserves all the credit for porting, and if you are grateful, click http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16496004&postcount=135 and click thanks

This will change your Softkey Functions and looks to match that of the Nexus S! Just to warn you...

CWM 3 : http://www.mediafire.com/?k12f85pu8b0vr6o
If you want the default Softkey Functions back (like when you want to try any of the other softkey themes) Then flash the Default_Softkey_Actions.zip

***NOTE ABOUT CWM 3***
Not all the packages are CWM 3 compatible... The Nexus Theme is, and so is the Defaul Softkey Action zip.... For now if you want to flash any of the other themes, download the old Blue cwm 2 and flash that from within the new yellow cwm 3. Then you can flash the files
If you want a certain theme converted, i will do that... I just don't wanna waste any extra energy doing that if i don't have to
***DIY***
THEMING:
If you wanna try tackling this yourself, there really isn't much you have to do... Before embarking, however, make sure you have at least a little knowledge in what your doing....
What You'll Need:
-The Framework-res.apk from /system/framework
-7-zip (easy way)
-(optional) Update-Zip-Packager (not my creation, thank the developer of this batch for his wonderful project )
Steps:
Now, right click on the APK and go to 7-zip --> Open Archive..
A window will appear, where you now maneuver yourself to assets --> images...
Select all of the four google_key_icon_*.png images within that folder, and drag "Copy To" your deskop...
Now, add your special touches to those images
When done, just drag those images back into that same folder you got them from within 7-zip Manager, and you are set
To throw this apk into a flashable zip, i just used Update-Zip-Packager found on XDA... However, you can use ClockWorkRecovery/ADB also... Whatever you want
NOTICE: Backup your old framework-res.apk just in case :3
BUTTON MAPPING:
What You'll Need:
-ADB (or Root Explorer )
-Text Editor (on your computer )
Steps:
The button configuration for the Continuum is located at /system/usr/keylayout, and the file name is qwerty.kl
First we need to mount System as RW... To do this, Use ADB, and type "adb shell /system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system"
Now that it is mounted properly, we have to copy the qwerty.kl to the computer... Type "adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl"
(Of course you can just use Root Explorer or another such app if you so choose, but that cost money this is free )
Now, open the file open in your favorite text editor, it doesn't really matter...
Here is a list of the codes and the corresponding button... This is important, because there are more than one buttons labeled as, for example, "Menu":
key 158 = Back
key 139 = Menu
key 217 = Search
key 102 = Home
Make your appropriate changes, and save...
Now you gotta push it back to the phone, which you can either use the Update-Zip-Packager again, or you can just use ADB in CWM
Step 42: Profit
Any modifications that you make yourself, don't be stingy Share with the community, for everyone to use! Just send me the framework-res.apk and/or qwerty.kl, and i will do the rest
Or you could make the zip yourself, that works too
Ticker Clock Colors:
We have managed to figure out how [Thank you Jaizero for helping me with this ] to change the color of the Ticker Clock (and also the date, music info text, etc )... If you want to see a certain color, just ask nicely below, providing at the same time the Hex code you would like to see exactly! If you aren't sure how to find the Hex Code of the color you want, just do a google search for, say, "Blue Hex Value" or something along that lines
If you are thankful just hit thanks<3
Hmm, that sounds interesting. What were you thinking about modifying then to?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
can you change the functions as well? or just the icons...
It would be nice to have the ability to lock them during game play because I have the tendency to bump them on accident from time to time and the ability it change the color would be absolutely appreciated
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
1) yeah, I thought this was a cool little hidden plus for our phone and I was thinking maybe for the "clean"people maybe just dots, and maybe for the metro ui people the actual words, like "Menu" "Home" and the works...
2) Yeah, I can change the function, but that doesn't involve what I am talking about.. I'm pretty sure there is a *.ko file in system I can edit to modify the soft keys... idk why you would want to though
3) I don't know how to lock them, sorry froyo has a default setting to make them time out after a while, however... So maybe when we get a froyo rom I can check it out for you
Also, I can change the colors, sure... Just so you know though, once you flash a themed file, you can't change the color until you flash another file... So no automatic color changing if that's what your thinking.. It can be done, I just don't know how to program apps xP

That sound like it will be awesome. I would love to chane the colors also
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
Thats awesome but my only question is would o have to flash it through the recovery or odin
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
Another question, will I be able to change a certain softkey a different color eg. Home, blue search, green or would they all have to be the same color.
Sorry for all of these questions but one of the main things I wanted to do besides updating to 2.2 was to change the softkeys and since you discovered the ability to do so I figured it's better to ask then to wonder. LoL
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
lol, i like answering questions, so its no problem
They don't all have to be the same, i can make each one a different color if i wanted... Just give me a template with what you want done, and i'll try and get it done Like, what color do you want for what, and what should they look like? (original, words, "dot", etc)...
and i can make a recovery package for you if you want it when/if i finish
I would say let's start off simple and work from there let's keep the original icons and go with a cyanogen blue
And with the recovery package will it work with the stock recovery or will I have to install cwm
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
Just so you know before i start, whatever i make is going to be "grayed" down because of that gray strip we have where the softkeys are.....
and your going to need cwm It's pretty easy to do it nowadays
*Duplicate *
Thats fine with me, but will I also need cwm to install the new soft key theme
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
Yes, you will..
Here is a quick pic of cyan-like softkeys... The blue is much more pronounced when you actually have it installed... Would something like that be good?
Hells yea. LoL
But is there a way to make them brighter with out having to adjust the screen brightness like the icons I have now
Sent from my Rooted Space Time Continuum w/h a 2600mAh battery
I like the idea of having cyan colored keys. Great work
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
For me I would love to see green, thanks for doing this btw.
I can do green next and no problem its actually pretty easy lol..
Lincoln3828: Here's the thing, with the screen shot the cyan blue is very bright... Whatever you set the brightness for the screen, the soft keys follow... Also, even though those icons look really bright, when you flash it it is a lot more darker/not as bright... It looks more blue, but yeah, not as bright... There isn't anything I can do for that... Thanks to the grey stripe :l
EDIT:
Green Softkeys i think they might be a litttle too dark green when you actually flash it, imo
Do you like it though? haha
Green looks awesome man, cant wait till you upload some stuff lol. Thanks again man
I would love to see some different icons man, Say some text icons maybe? Idk how it would look though because it doesnt look like there is enough room to fit the full words.
