Cool skull battery mod - T-Mobile LG G2x

I found a thread here on XDA that has a collection of literally every battery mod/icon out there. The link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280597
I found a really sweet red skull that I liked a lot, screenshot below. It includes 1% battery increments as well as 1% charging increments. The only problem I ran into is that these icons were made primarily for samsung galaxy roms. The image directories/names are a little different and just have to be renamed in order for use. Really, all you have to do is remove the "tw_" right before the "stat_sys_batt" for every image. It's a pretty cool place to find some really unique battery icons. If anyone has a request for an icon they would like, I can gladly mod a systemUI.apk for your ROM as long as the icon pack exists. I use apkmulti-tool to decompile and recompile all of the apk files if anyone would me to explain how to use it since it took me forever to learn on my own.

[WORKING/DOWNLOAD] Services.jar for Centered Text for Circle Battery w/Black Themes!

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.

[Q] Super Circle Battery

Hello to everyone...
I was wondering if this mod is possible on our Milestone...
Does anyone have tryed this???
It woull be awesome, but it would need some work on milestone frameworks too.Already a user tried it on milestone but the icon place was blank.
Mine too.
I changed the icons and the xml files that come with the .zip file (stat_sys_battery.xml, stat_sys_battery_charge.xml) and then i had no icon in status bar....
Would be easy by simply edit the framework-res.apk. But the problem is the Milestone display the battery stat only 10% by 10% ...
Yes what's why you must change and some .xml files...
But i don't know how....
So if anyone manage to import this wonderful mod to milestone it will be perfect....
The rom I am currently running (Telus light and fast V3, available here in this same forum) displays the battery percentage in the status bar. It is nice to see percentage (by tens except last few steps - by fives), but battery icon needs some more work design wise (IMO). Maybe it is just a matter of replacing the graphics?
If you read the link in my first post you will see that in that link the battery circle is every 1%.
All the roms now have every 10%...
But i am asking if it's possible to have circle battery every 1% to our Milestones...
So you don't have to change ONLY the graphics.... but also some .xml files in framework-res.apk.
But i don't know which and how....

I thought you want circle battery icon that shows percentage. I don't think it is as simple as framework and XML change to have 1% increments. You need new battery driver. And for this you need new kernel. And, you guessed, for this you need cracked boot loader Good luck!

[Q] MORPH: getting bootloops with cyrcle battery (selfmaid theme)

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.

Can this be flash to Tmobile.? I know it a dum question but I want to know.
Im pretty sure this wont work for vzw tab...poked around in the files,most of the changed images are in framework/res/hdpi-v4. The path on vzw tab is framework/res/hdpi. Anyway,it was enough to scare me off. Could you tell me where those 1% increments are? Im thinking maybe battery-status.xml?I wanna pull the control file and the png's and push em into framework. Tia.
Screenshots? Also, the -v4 just means it's been decompiled.
Guys guys guys... -v4 is ok... Will work fine! lol
I am sure the framework is the same across the board. Nothing is really any different than any other 2.2 devices. No special renaming. The battery mod is a change in the battery and battery charging xml file. Instead of a img matched to a value every 20% (stock) this will display an img for every value. 205 or 125 images. In the Glass theme I have an img for every value for charging as well so it has 205 images. If you are at 22%, it will say 22% in the battery Icon. AND... This will not drain your battery any faster. This is a active Battery % Display for the Stock Icon.
Soon I will have a full Battery Mod thread with a ton of different Icons and the xmls for those who wanna use it. : )
I'm using Glass with the Magic Smoke Live Wallpaper, Looks so awesome. You must check it out. I have pics already but I'll post more and a video.
Try it!!!
:0)
Ahhh....gotcha. yeah,I noticed I got a -v4 on the end after I've used the s.c. online kitchen. Any way,recovery still exits with an error when I try to flash on vzw tab. Could it be that string in the assert command in the updater sscript? Thanks for the heads up on the XML...it got me there.

oh, lol. That's where I go to get a lot of what I do, so much easier than sitting there and editing all the xmls and hope that it recompiles right. I love using Ultra Compare and seeing what they do with that. Awesome site.
You got this to work through cw? From what I've read the assert line is no longer supported,moved on to"Edify".

I Have fix it, this will flash in Clockwork! : )
I have also now added 10 Batt Mods for everyone. More to come soon!
Enjoy!!
The battery mods, particularly Mod #2, are nice. If I apply the images via MM into the drawable-hdpi folder, predictably it only picks up the twenty percent level ones. If I add the two XML files to the MM in the drawable folder (I used the 125 version) none of the images show up. I'm familiar with basic image replacement, but not with replacing the XML files. Is this something that would require an update.zip rather than MM?
tried the glass theme on att tab
now im stuck on samsung logo
trying to boot back up no go
thanks for trying though

Did you use Clockwork? If your adding the images, you have to have the xmls too. xmls go in drawable.

Sorry man, I only have a sprint tab. I'll look into it more, Maybe I'll build it from each framework to make it work for all.
Nah, I was using Metamorph, which works fine for the PNGs, but somehow when it replaces the XML files in the drawables directory the battery status stops showing up altogether. I didn't have a lot of time to experiment though, so I wound up just restoring from nandroid backup. I know it must be replacing the right files, because if I run Metamorph without the XML files it perfectly places the new images, and the notification bar picks it up for the existing battery increments. If I add the XML files it winds up with a blank area where the battery status go. I'm assuming it's one of three things: MM having trouble replacing the XML files and busting something; or there's something specific to the VZW version that doesn't like one or more elments in the XML; somewhere along the lines of pulling the two XML files out of your .zip and putting them in the new .zip changed some kind of formatting (DOS v Unix linebreaks, dunno). At any rate, I can use the images easily for the 0,10,15,20,40... increments, but can't easily update the XML files with MM at the moment. I might look into doing an update.zip.
The reason I'd prefer MM for just picking up changes like battery status images, is that I don't have to worry about the framework matching, it'll just replace the files in my existing framework, so it's usually quick and dirty.
Can you see if we can get a Sprint Only Galaxy Tab Forum
Since you are a developer, Can you PLEASE look into getting the Sprint Galaxy Tab its own spot? All this Euro AT&T TMobile Galaxy Tab stuff is getting on my nerves. They need a GSM Only and a CDMA Only Tab Forum. It's too damn confusing. Appreciate it! Thx
Hi
I watched the video of the theme and at the begining you touch the upper left corner of the screen to wake up the tab. I am new to android phones and it is maybe stupid question but how to do it without pressing power-on button?
regards
Pawel
The power button is in the upper left in the video. As his thumb is at the top of the screen one of his fingers is pressing the power button. No magic swipe, sorry.

3.4.2 Honeybread Theme

Hi all. I've ported (read: kanged) ECFfighter's Honeybread Theme for 3.4.2 ONLY. Just a little something to hold people over till the REAL themes and Roms start to drop.
All credit goes to:
+ ECFfighter for his awesome theme
+ P3droid for 3.4.2
Thanks to:
+ Wugfresh for his theme porter script
+ UnkleDuke for pointing me to colorchangev3.jar
+ cvhovey for helping me out with the 10% battery icons
Let me know if there are any problems.
As always, use this at your own risk.
ECF_Honeybread_3.4.2v2.01.zip
Here's the link to ECF's post:

(...nevermind...)
The only thing I can see is the vibrate lockscreen tab doesn't show (it's invisible). That's pretty much it. By rough, I meant it was a quick port. There isn't anything really wrong with it.
So apparently, this has been downloaded about 20 times. I'm guessing there are no issues?
The battery icon on the status bar is displaying the wrong percentage.

Please elaborate; mine seems fine. I haven't found 10% icons for this battery type so we're stuck with 20% for now.
(...nevermind...)
If you have the images, I can do it for you. Recompiling this framework is kind of a long process since the .9.png files are broken.
Edit:
cvhovey: what Bur apps did you freeze?
(...nevermind...)
(...nevermind...)
One more favor. Can you send me the stock/unmodified framework-res.apk? I don't have access to it at the moment.
Thanks
(...nevermind...)
I'll upload the updated port when I get home (30mins).
Thanks

Sorry about that. It seems to only display 80%. I charge my phone up all the way and it says that I have 80% battery life on the status bar. I it has to to with the 20% icons now that you mention it.
OP is updated and now has 10% battery meter.
Sorry it took so long; I had to redo the images from scrap. Thank God for the UOT battery kitchen.
Also thanks to Cvhovey for the help.
(...nevermind...)
No problem dude. I'm probably less skilled at themeing than you are. I wish I was good at photoshop/gimp but I'm too busy (read: lazy) to learn.
Yeah, it always SEEMS like other Roms (read: cyanogen) have better themes than we do.
Frist of all great theme man. Honeycomb touch looks great.
I came across few small problem nothing big but text on the buttons seems a little overflowing e.g., "send" on send button next to keyboard on gtalk or any button text in linpack or titanium backup. Buttons are little disproportionate to the text. See if you can do something about that.
Two more thing: popup buttons (the round ones with down arrowhead on them) they looks a little choppy specially on white backgroud
Black on black problem is there on few screens such as gmail -> menu -> more or Google reader -> menu -> more
did you see that ecf updated his theme to version 2 he updated a few things i converted it with wugport but all my text is black now instead of while. Can you teach me how you made it to white.
I have never tried working with theming until this 3.4.2 ROM. The day Wugfresh posted the deodex zip, I started learning. I have definitely learned quite a bit especially being the first thing I did was make the battery read in 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, ..., 100. The watermarked theme I ported over from Apex 1.4.0 came out pretty good and is located here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SX7RURP0
Feel free to use this framework to make the battery read in the increments listed above.
