[Q]Kspec battery icon with Cyanogen 6.1 RC1

Hi all!
I've Cyanogen 6.1 RC1 on my Nexus One. I'd like to know if I can replace the default battery icon with the Kspec's battery icon.
I'm talking about the icon below this post.
Thanks a lot!

Any user can help me about it?

Hello,
Try here,
http://circle.glx.nl/
should have nexus cyanogen framework on it, other wise you can up load the one from your phone.
Was using for my desire, so please check about nexus one.

I've just checked but there aren't the icons that I said before.

You can make this easily with metamorph.

Could you give me the file, please? Thanks!

Is there any file for Metamorph with this icons?

OK, now I have not much time.
Look in my siganture, download one of my themes (Take Nicer Battery Icons), delete everything except the framework-res folder and the *.xml file.
In the frame-res folder is an folder called res and therein is a folder called drawable-hdpi.
Delete everything in this foöder and copy your battery icons in this empty folder.
Now you can copy the main folder to your SDCard in the Folder "AndroidThemes"
Start Metamorph and apply this as a "excist theme". (Or so, in German it is "existierendes theme")
wait and reboot when ready!

I've tried this way with KspecBattery.zip but it doesn't work. For long time it says me: "Applying..." but doesn't work.
If you want, you can try with KspecBattery.zip and say me if it works. Please!

The file is okay. It should work on every ROM.
Don't disable the checks in metamorph and the delay must be around 4200
You have to play a bit with it.
Let the phone do it, it can take a minute.

Are you talking about KspecBattery.zip? It's ok?
Sorry for my english.

Here is update.zip KspecBattery for NIGHTLY 245 http://www.4shared.com/file/NQdYVAML/KspecBattery-signed.html

I've Cyanogen 6.1 RC1. It's the same thing?

I've just tried to flash that Nightly version but the phone goes in loop. It's old, I think.

If you take a careful look, you'll note the icons that I've said in the first post are different than the icons in UOTKitchen.

I've tried another time with that file but it doesn't work, again. What should I do?

Anyone has any idea?

I've fixed with the Wipe way and Metamorph file. Thanks a lot.

Remember turning on usb debugging before using metamorph.

Question: Changing JUST the battery icon in status bar

I like the default Froyo theme but the battery Icon in the status bar is completely worthless because it doesn't accurately reflect the current percent remaining.
Is is possible to change only this icon?

If you have flashed the Froyo Pick-n-Pack ROM, you can go to the UOT kitchen here, and upload the framework-res.apk file from the ROM. It will implement accurate battery mod for you and then you just have to flash the package that comes out. Pretty easy to do.

Success! Thank you. That website is very handy.

phidelt82...what are your super secret mods and rom...i wanna try it...not knowing is killin me...lmao

Without getting too in depth, I'll try to explain;
To change battery pictures, you must open the framework-res.apk file in 7zip and replace the existing .png files with the ones you want (while i'ts still "compressed" aka packaged, DO NOT UNZIP IT. Sounds easy, but it get's complicated;
Accurate battery mod means that the XML has been edited to show an image at more specific battery levels (1,2,3,4,5...) So, if what ever theme/rom you're trying to change already has this mod in it then you just have to make sure that the theme you're pulling the new clock images from also has the mod. This is obvious because there are more images than the stock version (it went by 10's and 15's)
EDIT: Just going to leave this random bit of info here lol..

If you're trying to create a new theme, the best thing to do is to take the pick and pack rom over to UTO Kitchen choose the new icons you want with their tools, then upload the framework-res.apk from PNP and it will add the mod and the new images for you, which you can then flash on your phone.

I think he was actually referring to Phidelt's "projects" he's been hinting at and referring to in his sig lately. Good info on themeing though!

After you've selected your battery icons and color it should give you the option to upload your framework-res.apk, after that when you go to the pickup page there should be a heading of "my uploads" or something, seperate from the rest of them. That will be the one you did.

It seems as though this has to be done from your computer. Am I wrong? I tried doing it from my phone and when I click on "choose file", it takes me to a page where it says "no files found"
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

Alright. I finally found where to upload the file (using the computer and not the phone). Now everytime I try to upload the framework-res.apk file, the upload fails. Am I doing something wrong?

I had to try a few times too, it's finicky.
Swyped from my Mesmerize

I got it to upload and it spit out a file. I flashed the file it gave me and the battery icon is still the same

Sorry I keep bringing up this topic but I've tried flashing the .zip that the kitchen spits out twice. I've disabled lagfix. It doesn't seem to want to work for me. I may to give up on this mod. Is there a detail that I'm missing? Heres what I'm doing:
I have the unzipped PnP file on my computer.
I go to the kitchen and cook up my file.
I upload my framework-res.apk.
It takes like 10-15 mins. And receive my file.
From my computer, I put the file it cooked up on my sd card.
Boot into recovery, Disable lagfix and reboot
Boot into recovery again, select install .zip from sd card
Select my cooked up file, and reboot
And my battery is still the same
What am I doing wrong?

Un-Flashing questions

I know this might sound stupid but I was wondering if there was a way to remove something I flashed onto it. Like for.example I flashed the accurate battery mod on the gingerbread theme.but no I want the status bar back. Do I reflash the theme or remove the accurate battery files from my sd card? Many thanks and sorry if its been asked before

if you backed up your original framework-res.apk you should be able to copy and paste it into your system/framework folder.

Back up into what? Like make a backup in cwm3 beta?

It is good practice to make copies of your original files before making mod changes. The battery mod uses your framework-res.apk file located in System/Framework folder. If you want to revert back to what you had, you would just replace the file you modified WITH your BACKUP copy. Copies that you create can be stored anywhere like your SD card. If you did not make a backup of your file, then you will need to reflash to stock, or wait and see if someone makes a flash version of the original.
Hope this makes sense.

Humble 5.0... Restoring aosp lockscreen

I apologize in advance if this has been answered elsewhere, I searched and couldn't find the solution.
I have humble 5.0 running and added the red and black theme to it. This caused me to lose the aosp lockscreen. Is there anything I can do short of reflashing humble to get the lockscreen back? I know there are apps like Golocker and magic locker, but I've experienced performance issues With these and would like to avoid them. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

U could extract the android.policy.jar from humble5zip and overwrite the one that's on ur phone now with root explorer. its in system /framework

here ya go .just copy the old one to ur SD card just in case .of course if u get undesired results just reflash that theme
Edit....I pulled this from humble 5 rc2
I'm positive this works cuz i did it yesterday on the test rom Danalo1979 tweeted

Thanks for The help guys. How do I go about replacing the file? Just use root explorer?

Yea just copy and paste it in system/framework and overwrite the old one and reboot

I replaced the file with the one I downloaded from the thread and did a reboot. Nothing changed. Any other ideas?

And ur sure it replaced the other one,you hit mount system r/w in top right corner of root explorer? Let me check ...I guess i could have uploaded the backup of the stock one I made when i did this
Give me a minute. I'll upload the one that I'm using now. That one I extracted from the humble zip
alright I know this is it ..just pulled from system/framework

It says mounted as r/o... How would I Change that?

There should be a white button right beside that to the right. Just press it and it should change to r/w.
When u do it, it will ask u if u want to replace the file cuz it already exists. Hit yes

OK I got it!
Few things I had to realize... Root explorer and explorer aren't the same apps, even though the Icons are nearly identical. I got lockscreen back as desired. Just a side note, I lost the extended power menu that came with black and red theme. No big deal to me, just a side effect of replacing the File. Again.... Thanks for all of the Help.

Glad I could help. Yea i forgot it'd change the power menu but I don't use it anyway. I use quickboot from the market. Has reboot,recovery and bootloader. Plus version has hotboot option.

Yep. Quickboot installed here also.

The awesome coredroid theme will give you both options (lock screen + power menu options). It also gives you crt off animation.

[MOD] Theme Store- How to keep your stock icons on any theme

*Dont you hate when you like a theme but hate the icons!!! I will give you a simple guide to download the theme you want and keep your stock icons
~Keep your stock icons for any theme~
*ROOTED REQUIRED*
*Please read complete guide*
*Make sure you are not using the theme you are applying this to! Apply a different theme while your editing this file!
1. Using a file explorer, go to data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson and find the theme you want to keep stock icons!
2. Open file and hit the edit button! Look for this line a little ways down:
"appicon":"com.cambunch.ThemeName.appicon",
and delete it! Save file and reboot!
3. Now you can go to theme store and apply that theme and have stock icons
***Also see post #10 for another simple guide thanks to @SICKMADE***
***This should work for any theme in userjson file, just follow same steps and remember to save and reboot before you apply theme!!!
***JUST HIT THANKS IF YOU THINK THIS IS FRICKIN AWESOME***
Screen shots of files and before and after:

Note 5 have to be root or not to work ??

Yes, because you will have to use a root file explorer! ES FILE Explorer etc.

Good work[emoji106] [emoji106]

Which one? Part 1 or 2?
If icons didnt stay stock, go back to the file you deleted the line and make sure it saved with that line deleted! It did that for me and when i went back and checked file, the line was still there and i re- deleted it, made sure i saved file and rebooted and it worked!

Hmmm, it works for me! Deleted that appicon line, saved then rebooted, applied theme and i have stock icons! Ive tried it on a few themes and all have worked!
Make sure that you do not have that theme currently applied! Apply another theme then go back and apply theme that you did that for!

All you have to do if you don't like any paticular part of a sammy theme is install a root file manager... I use root browser but what ever you choose as long as it uses root is fine... then once opened file manager navigate to the data/app folder. Here you will find every apk and or sammy theme that you have installed onto your device. Simply scroll down until you find the specific group of folders for which ever theme your wanting to remove a paticular part of ex. Accuweather, App Icons, etc. Once you've located the file you don't want to use with the theme anymore like the icons "themename.appicon-1" simply delete the folder and reboot and badaboom stock icons are back! I hope that made some sense lol

This is the best Thread ever !!! I always wanted this, thanks alot !!! Very Helpful

Yes you can.. I have just tried using a keyboard theme I like on different theme by just copy pasting corresponding lines from one to another.

This also allows you to change your icons to anything you want using the galaxy icon themer app in play store
