Hello,
I have been looking through different forums trying to look for a clear answer. I assume, since the Circle Battery mod requires editing the SystemUI.apk, each one has to be edited for individual roms. So far, I have not been able to find anything for the Verizon SGS3 with CM10. Also, if I read correctly, CM10 has the 1% battery increments built in, so no mod is needed to show that, correct?
This is a request for AT&T version, with comments:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853786&page=2
And this is pretty much what I am looking for, but for CM10 and not Beans:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851311
I also tried this mod, but none of it seemed to work and eventually had to restore from backup since I got stuck on a boot loop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840290
If anyone can 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 getting the Galaxy Nexus last year. So far, all I know is rooting, unlocking bootloader, and some rom stuff.
Thanks

After some testing, I tried 1-percent-circlemod-img-by-zuberio.zip and it changed the icon, but the 1% mod doesn't seem to be part of CM10 for the S3. I can change the battery icon to text, which will show the 1% increments, but the image version doesn't.
What do I need to do to add the 1% mod only? I tried the one from the link below, but not sure if that will add it.
Let me see if I understand this right.
First I need to decompile the SystemUI.apk, or else you can't edit the file.
Second, replace the res/drawable/stat_sys_battery.xml file with one that includes the 0-100 and the same for the charging xml.
Third, add in the images for the different resolutions.
Last, recompile.
Do I got that right?
So, can I somehow make a SystemUI.apk in a flashable zip file that will only updated the XML and PNG files for the mod? That way I just run that after a nightly?

Your method seems reasonable. I would start with only the battery images first and go from there. When you change too much at once you don't know where the problem is.
Using apktool isn't bad at all. On page 12 of Sheffy007's nav bar thread, I posted a guide for using apktool to enable the nav bar. You could follow it but instead of changing framework-res.apk, you would change SystemUI.apk. Also, CM10 obviously doesn't have/need twframework-res.apk.
When you pull your system/app/SystemUI.apk, you also need to pull system/framework/framework-res.apk.
Also, when playing around it's a good idea to create two flashable zips. One that flashes your mod and another that flashes back your original SystemUI.apk. Creating a flashable zip isn't bad at all. Open the META-INF files and you'll easily get it. You can modify the flashable zip I made in the thread you linked to. I don't think you'd have to change much except open the zip in 7 zip and overwrite the SystemUI.apk.
As far as I know, because you would have to rebuild the SystemUI.apk with the changes to enable circle mod, I think you would have to change the SystemUI.apk every nightly to ensure full compatibility. I'm going to flash M2 tonight. I recommend the same. The M builds include the best from the previous Nightlies and are released about once a month (you wouldn't have to change your SystemUI.apk every night.

Cool, thanks for the info. So is there a way to make a flashable zip that can update the SystemUI.apk in the nightly, but only change the drawable files for the battery? I assume not, that is why we replace the while apk.

I did find this though, looks like it is a JB CM10 modified SystemUI.apk.

Looks like it will be in the next nightly:

PS, that link will not show what I am trying to link once the next nightly comes out.
Doesn't look like we have had a nightly since 10/14, and that one does not include the Circle Mod.

1. How do I sign a .zip so I can flash it?
2. How do I remove a kernal from a rom to be used in another?
3. How do I remove a theme from a rom to be ued in another?
Sorry, I just don't know much about what files go where and such.
Thanks everyone
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You simply don't need to sign the zip for it to flash with clockwork, its a completly unnecessary process with clockwork.
Extracting a kernal is easy just ope the rom you want the kernaal from or kernal zip and find the folder called something like kernal_update.
If you want to extract a theme it could be simple or hard depending on the theme, the most basic thme will theme 3 files in /system/framework, being twframework-res.apk, framework-res.apk and services.jar. just pull those and replace them in any other /system/framework folder.
If you are looking to build your own rom and are going to use somebody else's work then ask them first or at least give them credit, okay?

Hey guys, I'm trying to port over the ICS transition animations over to the CM nightlies via this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342117
I did everything to a T numerous times and every time I push the newly modified framework-res.apk into my system/framework via Root Explorer I'm always hit with FC's and when I reboot I get hit with bootloops.
Anyways I was wondering if anyone else can see how to get this working on the G2x, any help would be great!
just wandering isnt the framework for cm7 different from the framework for ics so that may be the problem. just my thoughts.
You are aware that this is done in the computer, not inside the rom, you have to do this with the zipped rom, and then flash it.

Yes I took the framework, decompiled it, replaced the old animations with the ICS ones. Then I recompiled it, signed it, and then tried to push it into my system and get loops every time. What I'm doing should be working but its not. So was wondering if someone who knows more about this could see why its not working.

Not that it will likely help much, but it is not required to sign system apks. Furthermore, are you making any XML edits? If so did you make sure to remove the edited files and the resources file?

There are way cooler transitions than ics don't waste your time
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
System files should never be resigned after editing them. That is why APK Manager asks you if it is a system file. It doesn't sign it. Just compile it and then zip align it. Don't sign it and try it again. Also when I recompile system files I never say Yes to the last question about copying everything over to the keep folder. I just recompile from the files in my project folder and I never have problems.
I think the ea asiest way of doing this is deleting the anim folder in the framework-res.apk and drag/drop ics anim folder into that apk. It might ask you if you want to add, just click yes. And then just push the new modded framework-res to your phone with adb. That's what I did from cm6 to cm7. It might be different with ICS....its worth a shot. Hope this helps.

You have to tell people what rom you are using. The framework files are not the same between the different roms. You just can't use a modified framework meant for another rom.

You're a big boy now. Use your words to express the kind of help you seek, otherwise we can only guess as to the difficulty you are having.
That first part was unnesscary. Anyways it just seems a little complicated and I don't know how the whole process works. Just two things I guess, is the theme I produce in the kitchen a rom or is it just a framework I apply and it doesn't replace the rom I'm using. And do I need to make copies of my framework and that other thing and upload it to the kitchen to make my theme?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium
Your going to need two files...copy the ones you have on your phone.. system.ui.apk/framework-res.Apk...... then whem your building the theme you like you will add those last.. it will ask you to upload those.. do it...wait till the kitchen makes the theme and place it on the sd card.. flash it.....that's it.. it just adds whatever u made to your current set up your on.. either stock or a rom your on.. or theme.. it will substitute the parts you made and use those instead ...goodluck
It can also be called "SystemUI.apk" right?
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda premium
OK I did the kitchen and it worked. I have a different status bar and lock screen. Although the boot animation didn't work, probabily because of my rom.

Are you using a ROM with TouchWiz? If so, you will need three files. Connect your phone to your comp and go into /system
From there, go to /apps and copy SystemUI.apk to the desktop. Then go back a folder and go to /framework From there, copy framework-res.apk, and if you have touchwiz, copy twframework.apk to the desktop. Upload these files to UOT when you get to that step.
Once you get the new files from UOT, save it to the desktop and open it. Delete the three previous files you copied to the desktop, then search the one you got from UOT, for the same 3 files.
Now, pay attention, and get Root Explorer or Super Manager.
Open the app of your choice that will let your explore your file system. Find the 3 same files we've been dealing with in their respective locations on your phone, using the file explorer. (after you've transfered the ones from UOT to THE ROOT of your sd card) Copy the 3 UOT files over the ones already in your phone, which you will find in their previosly disclosed locations.
Once copied, IMMEDIATELY reboot to recovery and fix permissions.
Substitute "3 files" for "2 files" if not using Touchwiz.
Hope this helped!
---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------
Also, you can just straight copy the UOT files to their respective locations in the .zip of the custom ROM you are using, and flash the ROM.
Yea I have the twframework apk in my system, does that mean its touch wiz?

yes. and follow my instructions above, or you will start to have errors. Definatel force closes.
The fact that the status bar wasn't changing could have been due to the fact that I wasn't adding my touch wiz framework?

This message "WAS" for mendozinas but last post i found from him was in 2011. i do thank for having a kitchen like this to customize pretty much anything for my phone (p500) Optimus one. I was informed that the kitchen will not support ics based so i flashed over Slimgen 1.6.0 (android 2.3.7) i just made some themes for the rom, havent tried them yet. I did upload the Framework.res and SystemUI.apk of the rom so hopefully it will work this time. I was wondering If anyone can add my rom (well the rom im using) on the kitchen list. SlimGen 1.6.0 here is the link to download the rom itself. im sure you already know.
http://code.google.com/p/slimgen-pro...downloads/list
Regarding to Mendozinas only. (Please reply back if you recieved my message. thanks agian. i do appreciate it. I sent you a PM figuring it will get to you quicker but i realized you must have many Pm's about certain questions. So maybe this will do the trick.) Regarding to Mendozinas only.
I tried to trouble shoot myself, still in early dev mode for me (learning the ropes) but i made a copy of the rom i have and plugged in what was from the UOT file that was giving to me from the kitchen. I made a flashable zip on my desktop and place it on the root of my sdcard. Booted into recovery...flashed it but still i get the same message. Am i using a correct rom for this or what?
Im attaching the UOT file i made so if u may need to look at it its there, any info you want from me just ask, im very greatful for the help, would really like to make different themes on my phone for start then move to rom modding .
I would really like a step by step if possible so i may get this theme up and flashed on my phone so i may make different ones for future needs.
Thanks again and hopefully i will be hearing from you.
(I posted this up couples days ago. but nobody is dealing in that thread i guess, So hopefully one of you are more familiar using the kitchen then i am.) 07-30-12 date.
I hope i gave the right information to lead me into the right direction soi may start understanding how to work around such problems like this. Thanks

so what I would do is download their stock deodex and extract the files that are included in the mod.
Then, decompile the .jars and apks that were modded and the stock version
Run winmerge on them to see exactly what they changed
Then make those exact changes to our stock deodex rom. So you will need to decompile 3 sets of files and recompile 1 set.

I got apktool installed and decompiled framework.jar where it creates a folder called smali. The problem is, I can't view any of the contents from within it. If I go to properties it states contents "nothing" yet shows free space as being 66.7 GB. So I know that there's something in there, I'm just not allowed to view the contents. I read somewhere that you need a text editor?
I did all this on a Linux machine (Mint 13.) I'm gonna try it on a windows PC next just to see what happens.
Edit: I found out that by changing .jar to .apk and then decompiling it allowed me to view the contents. Now I'm sitting at trying to open the TextView.smali. lol
Edit 2: for some reason it's not working for the JellyWiz rom. It's still not showing the contents from within the samli folder.

I'm on stock 4.0.4, rooted... UOT Kitchen isn't working for me, as my phone uses SystemUI.apk instead of the framework for my statusbar icons. So what I did was I went through the steps at the Kitchen to get my UOT zip, unzipped and pulled the images and xml files. I then added the 200+ battery icons to my drawable-hdpi folder from systemui (using 7zip), and then added the xml files to the drawable folder.
I did this once before, and after clearing the dalvik, battery stats and cache, it worked...but this time my battery icon has disappeared altogether.
I put the images and xml files in the framework as well just to be sure...but no go. I've tried a couple different attempts from UOT but nothing. I even tried rom toolbox, but apparently it doesn't replace the xml files.
I read something about the kernel maybe affecting this...Is that true?
Is there a Kernel that is stable that I can use on stock ICS?
I have searched and searched, but cannot find a good answer to this, so please don't go off about the search button. The kernels all seem to be older, and the last one I tried to flash that was supposed to work left me with a reflash.
Oh, and the stock rom I'm on has been deodexed and zip aligned..
Thanks in advance!

I have been researching kernels, but they list things that I am unfamiliar with, or don't know if I want...etc...but I want this to work, and I would love for custom boot animations to work through rom toolbox and such. Also I know I could decompile the xml's to fix the battery, but I'm having trouble with Java on my laptop at the moment. If anyone is on stock with 1% battery icons, if you could extract and post the xml's that would be great...!
UOT kitchen supports GB/ICS ROMs, including TouchWiz ones. You just need to upload SystemUI.apk, framework.res and twframework.res - and you'll get a flashable ZIP.
I was under impression it's very clearly stated there.
It is, but I always get the stf....something..error when I include my systemui.APK...
In any case the xml files the kitchen gives me should still work..because the folder hierarchy is the same as the framework-res.APK...

Every APK has the same folder structure. It doesn't mean that the files from one will work on another.
You might have taken one XML too many. Battery icons don't hurt anything, wrong XMLs can.
Also you need to be deodexed for it to have any effect, so I'm assuming you're running deodexed stock root?
Battery icons, I think, are in the twframework_res.apk, not in Systemui.apk
Also, on a tw rom a lot of the default images have a tw_ prefix.

Yes, correct.
@liquidzoo In my case they are in fact in the systemui.apk..the new icons showed up before I switched the xml...

So then why did you switch the XML? If the images have the exact same names as the old ones, you shouldn't need to touch the XML.

Because it didn't show the 1% increments...only the several that are default.
I went and reflashed a uot zip I had previously, and it seems to have corrected the xml...works again. Not sure why flashing it worked but not manually replacing the xml..

Ok so I decided to get off the stock rom and this morning flashed to Vincom's Superlite CM10 JB rom..
And I'll be darned if I'm back to square one with this..
I have searched and searched for hours and cannot find a legitimate 1% battery mod that works for Skyrocket and this Rom...Yet there does seem to be a plethora out there for other phones..
Does anyone have a clear-cut solution for this, aside from manually compiling/decompiling? Anyone? Is there a mod that would work for this phone?
CM10 includes a circle mod 1% battery mod already.
System (or Rom Control, whatever it's called) > Status Bar > Battery Icon
Choose CircleMOD.

Yeah that's what I was hoping for, but apparently in vincoms version it doesn't have that option.. only regular, percentage number, or nothing at all..
Other than that it's a sick Rom for the record..

What's wrong with just the percentage battery? Are you strictly looking for a circle? He probably just hasn't updated his base build since the circle mod was a fairly recent addition to CM10. You could always just flash CM10. But in all reality there are a ton of battery mods out there, all of which are 1%. I duno why you can't find any.

It's not really about which icons.. it's about the capability to have them..
The are a ton of mods, that's for sure... but none for this phone that still work.. because the ics folders apparently changed..
Not to say they would not work with jb, but I can't find a clear answer to that..
I think I'm going to try using the same xml files and cross my fingers.

CM10 (any recently nightly/stable)
AOKP
LiquidSmooth
Any PA/PAC variant
Slim Bean
Orthus
All of those have the circle mod. Probably a lot more that I don't know about do too.

Yeah.. that's why I can't believe there isn't more info floating around..
I did discover the wonder of themes today.. so I can at least have the battery with those while I learn how to edit the xmls..

It's this one..
