Hello everybody, i got sick of my battery icon and wanted a change, but i am with UBKPD (2.3.6. for Argentina and some other countries of Latinamerica) and couldn't use any other theme or part of it.
Thanks to the thread of umarian and other threads all over XDA and HTC Manía (this in spanish) i figure out how to change my battery icon.
I attach diferent .rar files. In there you will find a folder with icons AND the file: framework-res.apk of UBKPD according to the respective icon.
Of course, you can change icons of your Firmware whatever it is (using this icons or those you want) following the steps of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431048
The icons i've used are those provided by umarian in that thread, some others that i picked up from other threads with mods for other firmwares. None are creations of mine. SO, IF YOU LIKE THIS, THANKS HIM FOR CIRCLE BATTERY ICONS.
If you have UBKPD firmware or you want to trie if it's usefull in yours, follow this steps (you would need to be root and to have a file manager with root permissions):
a.) make a backup, just in case. We are going to touch system files!!
b.) copy the file framework-res.apk of the folder with icons you want;
c.) copy it to the folder: system in your phone, there, change permissions to rw-, r--, r--;
d) move the file framework-res.apk from system to system/framework
d) reboot and it's done.
Advice: However you got all the icons to go 1% to 1%, i still couldn't make the changes to apply the icon to work from 1% to 1%.
Please, also, if anyone have a claim on the battery icon, let me know.
Since most users are on custom themes, ICS to be precise, replacing framework-res will result in loss of the theme.
So if you can share the png files then it will be great since it only involves drag n drop using 7zip.
Or you can explain in OP to copy the png from any of your attachment and replacing them in the one's current framework-res

Thanks. My explanation seems it isn't good. Inside the folder I uploaded are the png files plus the framework file. If someone wants to use the png files there are they, separate from the framework file.
On the other hand, in the link I let is the explanation on how can port the png files (icons) to the firmware they want. However, I don't know if this procedure works with ice cream sandwich. It works 100% in ginger .

Yup working on it right now.... i would wait tho i figured out reboot in the power menu and am going to add it to these mods cause it requires a framework-res change so might as well do it all at one time.... ill post them in the themes and apps section like they should be

Plz tell me procedure for 1% battery mod for Indian atrix 2 stock ICS.
Here's the problem
I was using a ROM that had a battery I didn't like so I installed a different one using the ROM ToolBox app and now I have a combination of two icons.
I'm looking for the blue ICS battery, the percentage would be nice, and how to apply it to my status bar.

i used rom toolbox pro from the market lets you in change the status bar icons i use circle green for mine
this one is the one you need from it because you need to replace every battery icon png file if not you will have a mix
if not you can decompile the framework.res apk replace the png files witb the mod/pics you want then recompile the apk and flash
i dont have any links ob me to show you how decompile/recompile but you can find them in xda look for apk ics decompile and apk tool

I've never done it before but the UOT kitchen seems pretty straightforward. Except that XBSA's ROM is an img file.
So does anyone know how I can modify the icon to show a percentage? I don't want to use an app that clogs up my bar cos they close when you free up RAM.
Cheers

I'm not telling how to, just a suggestion: decompile SystemUI.apk and you will find the answer.
Sent from my LG-SU760 using xda premium
Ok found it. Do I need framework-res.apk as well? I will have a go at this later.
Edit - can't get it to work with UOT kitchen and don't fancy decompiling the apk and inserting the files manually.
Sent from my LG-SU760 using xda app-developers app
Use 7zip to open the apk as an archive delete old icons then copy the new icons ( by drag and drop method ) . If you do not have the icons you can get it from many themes or costume roms .
OR
you can use "Rom Tool Box" I think it's a famous app . Go to interface section and then choose "theme manager" do not choose "theme chooser" it's completely other thing . Then you will find many themes and icons for every thing .
But I use the manual method because I think it's more stable (does not make problem) do not trust apps or UOT Kichen , do it by your self .

OK I'll see how difficult it is. Cheers

If you just want to see percentage got to system settings/power saver and choose there.

Cheers, that's better than nothing but its ugly. I'll try 7-zip and/or ROM Tool Box this evening
ROM Toolbox didn't do it - said ROM isn't deodexed and also there were quite a few files missing.
7-Zip next I guess

I changed the icons in framework-res.apk and nothing happened. I don't even know where the old icons are coming from now as they've been replaced and don't exist but they are still there in my status bar :/
Did you delete the old icons before copy ?? 7-zip does not replace it . Delete the old icons then copy the new icons .
Sent from my P920
Hit thanks button if I helped
I didn't delete them but it does seem to have replaced them.
I have something sort of working - I also changed the icons in SystemUI.apk and now my new icons are working. However, its still not perfect as the charging icons are still not changed and the increments are only every 10% or so. I think I'd need to edit some of the XML files.
I am going to try replacing the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk files with ones from a GB ROM. Wish me luck :/
Edit
AND.........boot loop. Oh well, I will try something else
I had the same problem (increasment 5%) but at that time I get the framework-res.apk from a costum rom (King_3D_Rom) and I changed the icons and now It works perfectly .

I'm using the ICS rom. GB files caused me to boot loop and UOT kitchen doesn't work for this rom.
I do have it working now with the charge animation as well (kinda) but still got the 10% increments.
Edit: its not bad though. Much better than stock at least. Increments are more like 5% or less. Less than 2MB so an easy install. Charge animation is still screwy though.
Hi guys, after getting so many requests on my Sweet ROM thread for this icons or that icons I thought I would show you the easiest way so that you can change your own.
Please note this guide is based on Windows operating system
You will need:
A computer with Windows
7zip (free program available HERE)
systemUI.apk from your current rom
systemUI.apk from rom (or mod) with icons you want
some brains
1. Extract systemUI.apk that you are using in your rom and place it where you want it on your pc.
Right click on the systemUI.apk and select 7zip/Open archive. This open up the apk and you can now see the folders inside.
You now need to open res folder, locate drawable-xhdpi folder and drag this out to your pc.
Once it has copied over open the new drawable-xhdpi folder on your pc and here you will find a heap of png images.
Download this file and extract the folder from it. Here you will find all the Status Bar Icon images. So looking through them you will recognise battery, wifi, bluetooth etc images that show on your status bar. these are the images you need to change for different themes, eg S4 white icons etc.
2. Now open the systemUI.apk with the images you wish to add and copy out the drawable-xhdpi folder.
Now in this folder locate & copy the images you want over to the drawable-xhdpi folder you created in Step 1.
3. Once you have copied all the new images you need to re-open the archive of your rom systemUI.apk from Step 1. with 7zip.
Now open res folder and delete the drawable-xhdpi folder from in the archive.
4. Drag your new drawable-xhdpi folder (with your new images inside) into the 7zip archive.
Once this has been copied over to you 7zip archive use the green arrow (under the Add button) to go back up a level until you are at systemUI.apk. Now with it highlighted use the "Test" button to make sure it is ok.
Now we can close 7zip and you should have your systemUI with new status bar icons.
5. Make a backup of your rom (just in case) and push your new systemUI.apk back to your phone either manually with Root Explorer (or similar file manager) and set permissions rw--r--r-- or flash it from cwm.
For a flashable zip please see majdinj's flashable zip how to HERE
I hope this quick guide can help some of you learn to make your own simple icon mods.
Some examples of different Status Bar themes you can make this way
