First and foremost, this would not have originally been possible without all the hard work zimphishmonger and the3dman13 did to bring fighspit's original battery mod to the vibrant, please see the original thread here, and give them some thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756441
I'm also borrowing zimphishmonger's warning, as i think it works to keep warning messages standard across all these battery mod threads.
WARNING: ALWAYS make a nandroid backup prior to installing any modification, including this one. You are making the decision to install this on your own, and I am not responsible for anything nuclear that may happen to your device.
UPDATE.. I lost count (10/5/2010)
So I dig Eugene's Frankin-twiz rom's, but I still want to keep my accurate battery mod, and well, I think his glossy-black skin is ugly. I also think the stock vibrant touchwiz skin is ugly (for the love of all that's holy samsung, why did you decide the vibrant would be the ONLY galaxy s phone to get your stupid glossy version of touchwiz?!)
So, I ported my battery mod to frankin-twiz and at the same time, ripped all the matte (non glossy) drawable's from the I9000 touchwiz skin, and added in my colored status/signal, mms, calendar, music player, and gmail icons, restored the black background for the power control widget, added HTC's weather icons to GenieWidget.apk, changed to the stock I9000 bootup and shutdown animation and sounds, and of course, I probably missed something else too, lol. You can see some (semi-outdated) screenshots here: http://picasaweb.google.com/113127051130934911253/AndroidStuff?feat=directlink
Also, if you find yourself being a typography nerd like me, you can use this zip to switch the default system font to Comfortaa I take NO CREDIT WHATSOEVER for making the original font, or the android port, I only re-packaged the files into a Clockwork-mod zip file for the vibrant. This will also change the lockscreen clock font to comfortaa, but ONLY if using the default android lockscreen.
Comfortaa system fonts: http://www.4shared.com/file/hYu1TYHL/Comfortaa_system_fonts_ONLY.html
New for ftwiz_final: I'm including an extra version with the samsung calendar AND the AOSP mms app, per Eugene's thread, since it resolves issues with being unable to send sms/mms messages. I'm also including the newest version of my battery mod (this is the version I personally like best and use daily), based on the upright/vertical icons, but with colored borders/outline, and a smoother charging animation (thanks to untermensch!) This can be applied on its own, after you flash either of the other versions. If flashed without flashing one of the other versions first, it DOES NOT contain the gmail/calendar/mms/music player icons, or the startup & shutdown animations and sounds. You can see a screenshot added to the post below too.
Download links here, ftwiz_final ONLY:
Removed, sorry, too many people use other people's work without giving credit, and it leads to way too many headaches, he-said/she-said, ignorance, etc.
Everything should flash via clockwork recovery fine, place the zip on the root of your INTERNAL /sdcard directory, reboot into clockwork, I recommend wiping the cache & dalvik-cache, then install zip from sdcard, locate the specific zip, reboot.
Enjoy, cheers everyone, and if you come in here posting bugs/whining for help without first making sure you cleared your cache and dalvik-cache, then I'm just going to ignore you,
Looks Great!!!
Thanks alot works well on my phone
i love it! not a big fan of the round battery icon, so this is great
Great work! Glad to see everyone is making their own customized battery images. We are gonna have a battery collection soon.
just a quick update to the OP with a new version with some colored/themed status icons.
cheers

I did, switched from the green circle. The battery indicator works fine.
I used the circle one but saw this with the other colored icons and thought they were cool. Seems that they don't quite work properly. Stock the GPS indicator shows in the notification bar any time it's on. With the new icons from the op the indicator is only on if I'm in an app that is using the GPS. I'm going to flash back to stock then to the battery only mod (i figure I need to to switch the other icons?)

Hi,
Thanks for trying it out. I have no idea how there might be issues since this is literally just img replacement from the segmented green circular battery mod, so however icons should work with that mod, is how they should work with this mod.
Maybe run a fix permissions from rom manager and see if that helps?
Also, my GPS icon has never worked like you described, even stock, (in other words, mine isn't always visible in notification bar, even when not in an app actively using gps, its displayed only when using an app that needs GPS, and disappeared when exiting the app.)
If you want to try and modify your own framework-res.apk with these files, I may upload just my png images once I'm done replacing/coloring all the icons I feel like modifying.
Thanks again for trying it out though, cheers
Lastly, I got bored and colored the wifi icons, cell-signal icons, and vibration indicator icon, I'll post the framework-res.apk in the first post, but won't package a new update.zip until I decide I'm done modifying icons, lol.

Excellent work! I like the new colored signal icons. Consider possibly creating a metamorph of it, as they are very easy to update.

So I went back to stock to check and you're right. I must have imagined that.
I'll be switching back to your colored icons and battery now.
And as soon as you are done changing the icons and create a zip I'll switch to those. I like the color.

Hey again,
Glad I wasn't screwing up phone's, lol.
Anyway, I'm still working on changing all the icons, can't seem to decide where to stop yet, since now I've started modifying icons for other apps, gmail, mms, google voice, trillian, etc. And of course, now that I've gone with a slightly brighter green in the other icons, I may go back and tweak the color of my battery icon to match.
Anyway, here's a screenshot of some of the icons I'm mostly finished with (though for some reason I'm not digging the alarm icon, anyone have color suggestions for it?)

Yeah...sorry about that. Anyway I hate that stupid icon to begin with so maybe something totally different? I did a GIS for alarm clock icon and there are a lot of possibilities. I think that maybe the stock one with a red square and white clock could be good.
Edit: Maybe something like this

If you don't already have it, I suggest you install Koush's Clockwork Recovery. You can install it quickly by using ROM Manager.
Once you boot into the recovery ROM, you can back up your entire phone using Nandroid (highly advised) and then you're free to experiment to your heart's content.
Now back to your question: you can save the file to your internal SD card and search for it using the 'Install from SD' (or something like that) option in the Clockwork ROM, install it and reboot.
Good luck, friend.
What's the right way to revert this? framework-res.apk restore?
Updated OP with newest mod.
I think I'm done with this for a while now, though I might zip all the png files if someone else wants to try and make this into a morph when the app gets updated.

Hi,
Yes, restoring your backed-up framework-res.apk will restore the battery mod. If you used the newer zip that also includes the Gmail icon mod, then you'll need to restore Gmail.apk too /system/app too.

So I'm a bit of a typography nerd, and lately I've been hooked on the stunning "Comfortaa" font by aajohan (all credit to him for the original font!) and have replaced the system fonts on my phone with Comfortaa, and decided I wanted to replace the samsung lockscreen clock text font too.
Of course, samsung couldn't be like google and just use the Clockopia.ttf font in /system/fonts for their lockscreen, instead they made each number a .png image, in two separate sizes.
So today I finally made my own images using comfortaa, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out, and maybe somebody else will want to use this too.
Anyway, I don't use metamorph, and this is my first time making a metamorph theme, but it seems simple enough, hopefully it works (I don't honestly know, I just modified my framework-res.apk directly.)
And like always...
make a nandroid backup first, and I am absolutely not responsible for anything that happens to your phone because of applying this mod.
cheers, =)
Very nice . Now I'm gonna need to change my font to match. Good work +1 wanna hook up the link to your battery mod?

Hi,
I made a handful of versions of my battery mod, mostly with the stock international i9000 "matte" version of touchwiz, you can find the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758797
I personally don't mind the black & blue color scheme of touchwiz, I just hate the custom "glossy/glass" version that samsung did for only the vibrant.

Hi,
Yeah, I don't personally use metamorph, I just know that so many people have so many different themes they prefer to use, so it seemed easier to try and throw a morph together instead of uploading complete pre-compiled versions of framework-res.apk. Its even worse now with so many variations, I'd need one for Eugene's roms, one for Bionix, one for stock JFD and another for stock JI6, then versions for both the stock JFD and JI6 lockscreen mod variations too, lol.
So, anyway, if the morph doesn't work, can someone try to point me in the right direction why?
And of course, you can always do the mod manually too:
download the zip and just extract the 22 png images
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
open framework-res.apk it with 7-zip, and drag-and-drop my comfortaa images into /res/drawable-hdpi.
adb push ~path_to_modded_file /system/framework/framework-res.apk
then reboot into clockwork recovery, and wipe cache & dalvik-cache
reboot one last time
Cheers, =)
an you tell me what battery you have I like that icon.

Yeah, this Morph doesn't work. Just tried it. Said something about a theme control file missing. Hope this helps you, the purple lock screen looks awsome!

Not having made a morph myself, I am basing this off of just comparing your XMP file to a morph I have applied many times (EVO BlackBar)...
It appears there is nothing wrong.
Not sure why it sin't working. Currently doing a nandroid. Going to try it out as this is a great idea! Surprised it hasn't been done yet. Could go hand-in-hand with the FlipFont.apk thread.
Themes for steves 1.5.0 & 1.4.6 incl batt%, icons, status/notif & window animations
My Modaco thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/d...-status-notif-window-animations/#entry1505455
~~~THEY ALSO WORK WITH 1.5.0 (PHEW!!)~~~
Includes icons, colour % battery icon, full status bar, full notifications menu and window animation.
All have been tried and tested! Hope you like them... any feeback would be great, requests are welcome (please state the battery icon style/colour, theme colour/style, preferred icons & which window animation)
You need to be on dj_steves v1.4.6
(it may work with other versions but I have only tested the current 1.4.6, post a request if you have a different build and i will do my best to help )
It will not work if you are using themekika!
~~~HOW-TO~~~
***FIRST OF ALL CLEAR DALVIK CACHE VIA ADVANCED OPTIONS IN CLOCKWORKMOD OR STREAKMOD*** (this is necessary for the window animations to work properly)
1. back-up not necessary (all data is preserved and re-flash 1.4.6 restores perfectly)
2. Copy/move .zip to the root of your SD card (no need to re-name)
3. Power off and into recovery (hold volume up/down + power)
4. Option 2 install from sd... wait for clockworkmod to load
5. Select install .zip from SD then pick from SD manually.
6. Reboot once install has completed (may take 2-5 mins)
7. Enjoy
(if you dont like it, simply flash 1.4.6 again, all will be as it was)
After various tests... It seems with each of my themes you can simply flash from one to the other via clockworkmod, i have all of the on my sd and can swap whenever! (please report back if this does not work for you)

Unfortunately I can't change the black text. In brief, the rom is set to white status and black text, I use UTO kitchen to cook and it only lets me change the bar colour not text. I don't fancy messing with major changes myself so the best I could do was to make it slightly transparent and lighter. I will be cooking some more today
Considering its android... Im SO surprised its so difficult to tweak basic stuff like colors. Why do you think dell did that...?

Hi Tina,
Any tips on trying to make a blacktaskbar with coloured icons and a coloured battery with percentage?? I can change the text colour to white. But I am unsure on using the kitchen, as it seems trying to cook a blacktaskbar is difficult?
ie can we use icons for blackstatus bar (ie with white text) and does the select taskbar colour section actually work?
(I assume that you use the 1.4.6 framework-res.apk file).

It looks very goooood. I want it on my Legend!!!!
But i use Blayo´s Rom and dont want to change to cyanogen...
I flashed the Mattedblues theme made for the EVO (I think, found it in this thread) on my HTC Legend last night, and it basically almost works.
It looks amazing, and as far as I'm able to tell, there are no visual problems with the skin itself.
Thing is, if I try to turn off WiFi, I'm thrown back to the boot animation. It then boots up normally, with the WiFi still on.
I don't know if this is caused by settings on my phone, or by the skin being incompatible with the Legend. I tried to flash the version of the theme made for the G2 just now, but the same problem occurred.

If someone has an easier way of sharing files, that won't eat my monthly dropbox bandwith, please let me know =)

I wrote a short howto and put it in the rar, but I recommend you check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841720 anyway. Good luck with the theme, remember to do a nandroid backup before you try anything.
The 'Thanks' button is near the Quote/MultiQuote/QuickReply buttons on the bottom right of each post. I can see 3 people have thanked you for your above post and file share
You mention: "some notification icons and the font being a little small," ...are you able to notify us:
- which notification icons?
- where is the font small?
This will allow us to report any other wierd behaviour.
1] Is this for 7.0.3 and above only or 7.x ?
2] Do we need S-OFF?
3] Do we need [MOD] full r/w access via overlay filesystem (any ROM) for this to work?
Thanks once again!
Notification icons:
The roaming icon (looks like the regular signal strength icon, only with an R on it) does not appear to be themed. Instead it's the standard green.
Also, for some reason, when wifi is turned off, the signal strength icon is gray not blue.
I don't use 3G or edge, so I don't know how those icons look.
The battery percentages icon is very difficult to read. This is easily bypassed by checking "Battery Percentage" in CM settings -> Interface -> Status bar tweaks. It's a shame though, the special made percentage icon is a lot fancier.
Font size:
This is most noticeable in the Launcher Pro Plus widgets, especially the Friends widget and the Pulse news reader app. It's definitely readable, but still a minor nuisance.
If this is a deal breaker to you, there's always the option of not installing the font or installing a different one. (If anyone knows a font that looks good on the Legend, let me know.)
1: CM-version: I have only tested these specific files on CM7.0.3. I made them by combining the MattedBlues files for 7.0.3 with files from the CM7.0.3 zip file. For all I know, they may work on other versions as well. If not, the MB files for other versions can easily be converted to Legend-compatibility.
2: Mine is S-ON, so I wouldn't think you need S-OFF (I don't really know what S-OFF entails, I'm somewhat of a newbie.)
3: Now, I have no idea what that is. I sure never did that with my phone. Looks like a way to write files to /system without booting into recovery. I just boot into recovery =)
Thanks for the above!
I look forward to trying it out!

Don't worry, this isn't a theme-related issue.
In 'pure Android', when you are online AND have the ability to connect to Google servers, the bars are green. When you don't have access to Google servers, the bars go grey. So the behaviour you see is normal [just replacing blue for green of course].
Question regarding the Apps folder in the *.rar file in post #16 above...
Can we simply delete the APK and ODEX files for the applications we don't want to install with the ROM or is completely the wrong and unstable way of doing it?
Notice : I am not going to work on new themes for this rom anymore as i don't see any future for it. I am going to make themes for the Bravo rom instead which can be found here.
Thanks for all the support.

Miui Mix Theme ( Final )
Procedure to install theme
Flash using AOR 3.3. Wipe ( dalvik-cache/cache ) is not required but recommended.
Download link :
With stock statusbar : here
Additional Info
I have not checked this as i don't own a XT720. So people who try this have to inform of any issues which i can fix. If it works properly, it should look like the screenshots above.
I have removed the versions with transparent status bars as they are not working properly.
__________________________________________
Twisted Inception
The port of this theme was requested by JiroPrinz8. Kudos to the original creator of the theme, bp328i of droidforums. My job is just to port it to xt720.
First build is almost ready. There are small issues. Not all notification widget icons are themed. I will rectify it in future builds.
Procedure : Download zip file and place it in openrecovery/updates folder. Flash in AOR. Dalvik-cache/cache wipe is not required but recommended.

Stock Theme
Flashing this should get you back to stock look and stock features.

Whichever's more convenient bud! Any of the popular themes would be great, (e.g. steelepic,miui, etc)
Again thanks!!

Coming up in this order.
Miui -> SteelBlue-> Sense -> Honeycomb -> Revolution -> GingerBlur -> GB Cool Blue
I am skipping stock GB because the rom is already full of green.

Downloading MIUI now.. Will update ASAP.
Flashed the theme, and there are some white on white, and the icons in settings is still TI, (flashed over TI)
Will now try flashing over stock to see if it makes any difference. Attached some pics.
**Flashed over stock, and still white on white on the notifications area, the rest seems to be ok, attached some pics to confirm.
Flash over stock and then report with screenshots.

Hows the phone dialer? As in screenshot?
So white text on white background in notification area is the only issue?

Test Build 2 online
@Jiro
Guess what, i forgot to add the themed apps in the first release. That's why none of the apps was themed.
This build should fix that and the white on white in notification details.
Also, is statusbar transparent?

So that's why it seems lacking something.. LMAO!
Yup dialler is as in screenshot, sorry dumb question, which part is the statusbar..? LOL! Far as i can tell the only issue is the white on white in the notif area, i don't have the date showing that would overlap the ongoing icons, as in the OP, IIRC the date is only showing in CM, or i haven't enabled it if at all possible.. downloading 2nd release.

**EDIT
Ok so just flashed test build 2, and seems everything is now in order, I have themed apps, dialler looks like thw way it shoulkd be (although please confirm, i'vea attached snaps) there's no more white on white in the notifications, the only white on white I see is the USB connected And USB Debugging connected ICONS only, see the pics. Overall looks great man..! Please inform me if i missed anything or you want anything checked.
Testing your themes now friend. Thank you very much for taking the time for us. Greatly needed and appreciated.
***Do you think it would be best to flash to stock first? Or just try it without?

I suggest going to stock first, as when i tried flashing over TI, icons from the previous theme kept on with the new one.

Which launcher are you using. If you install adw and untick wallpaper hack from advanced settings, you will have a transparent statusbar ( the top bar where you get your date/time/data & wifi icons etc ). You can see thru the statusbar. If you have used miui earlier, you'll understand what i am talking abt.
Also is your date shown on statusbar while pulling down notifications?

Oh ok I got it now, no, I don't have the Status bar, as in the pics, the carrier name is the only one there, no status bar icons/widgets.
Nope, no date on the status bar when I pull down for notifications.
You should not see your date. That's how the theme needs to work. And you should be able to see your wallpaper thru the statusbar as shown in the picture below. Use a lighter wallpaper. You cannot make out with a dark wallpaper.
I just flashed the RC2 stock, I was on your original Twisted Inception for the first Special, and leaves the Twisted inception keyboard. It may just be a fluke since it isn't your updated Twisted Inception. No big deal cuz I like that green themed keyboard I posted to go with RC2 anyway. So now gonna try your new themes.

I get it now, sorry bout the confusion, so I checked and the status bar is NOT transparent, tried installing ADW to untick the Wallpaper Hack, didn't change anything though. Still the Status Bar is solid and is not transparent.
I don't think it's a big deal though, but if it's necessary for the theme, by all means just post a build I can test for you.

I dont know why the png's are not changing. Also i changed all network icons to miui style, but it is still green. I'll take a look later.
Ok. Found out why the statusbar is not changing. Its not the themes fault. Usually the statusbar image which is in framework-res.apk is a .9 png ( statusbar_background.9.png ). The theme has this file, but the rom uses a normal png ( statusbar_background.png ). So even if you apply the theme, the statusbar image is not being replaced.
Also found out why network bars are still green. HM has made a lot of changes not found usually in Froyo based roms.
I'll post a final build today.

Great..! Wish we'd know these kinds of things at the onset so you won't have to do more digging, oh well.. will wait for the final build and flash immediately to test and confirm. Thanks!

That makes perfect sense now wish we could have thought of it, since we do know this isn't your normal build with mass changes in it, we just don't know enough about anything to be able to know that lol. Sorry for wasting your time sileshn and thanks for making the unusual adjustments for us.
That's ok guys. I am uploading 3 versions of the miui theme now.
1. Transparent status bar - no date
2. Transparent status bar - with date ( notifications images will overlap date )
3. Non Transparent stock statusbar
As soon as someone checks and lets me know that they all work as expected, i will port the other themes.
Sometimes i get fustrated with things and that's why i was a bit harsh in my comments a couple of weeks back. No hardfeelings, LM.
You know that this is my hobby and i do it because it feel good. And also for a few cups of coffee whenever i get a donation.
