Is there any way to download a smooth circle battery to any of the ROMs on here or will it just mess up the ROM?

As far as I know the circle battery comes with themes and not alone. At least I haven't seen the option of just flashing the circle battery, I could be wrong.
So, either download a theme or create your own and dont ask me how lol.
I was trying to edit the following files:
framework-res.apk\res\drawable\stat_sys_battery.xml & stat_sys_battery_charge.xml file in the frost and minimalistic b/w time but the contents are unreadable.
I also downloaded a theme from htc_desire for this battery circle mod and copied its xml files to the frost theme,after that there was no battery icon in the notification bar.
Can any one else give it a try ??
Hey guys I saw this sweet mod for the Xoom, it shows your battery percentage in the place of the battery icon on the bottom right corner. Anyone know how to do this? Can we use the UOT kitchen like we do on our phones?
This is what I'm talking about.

I have it on my xoom and yes it is sweet only do not load as it is now cause it will send you into bootloops.

You need to wait and load a deodexed ROM. The files have to be deodexed before you can run it through the kitchen. IDK if it supports Android 3.x files yet or not.
How do I get that clock on my SGT desktop?
hello, new user here.
I could not stand how my status bar did not show the % of battery, so I flashed a zip from towards the end of the bumblebee 2.4 ROM thread. It works great, except the status bar is dark and the clock, although readable is also dark.
I'm afraid when using my phone as a clock in the daytime outside I will not be able to read the time.
I don't know how to go back to stock bumblebee besides flashing bumblebee fresh again.
the mod I used was named UOT-06-14-08-22-1.zip
is there an easy way out? Everything is perfect except the clock.
I've used search, can't find anything and read the bumblebee thread start to finish before I flashed the zip, a post led me to believe it had a readable clock because another user was unable to figure out using "kitchen" how to make a readable clock and thanked the person.
what I would like is a nice battery mod that could overwrite my changes, but I'm not sure that is possible. The ones on the market alluded to not being able to remove the default battery icon even though they added more battery info in the status bar.
tl;dr
How do I overwrite a battery mod to bumblebee to make it like it was before, and is there a battery mod that shows a % meter, without the stock battery icon, but changes little else for bumblebee 2.4
thanks
tried replacing the framework and META-INF files from original bb rom.zip, but got a missing file error and sig verifiction error. Those were the only folders besides fonts that were added from the status bar mod.
guess I'm a little over my head.
oh what the hell, time for Titanium back up and a re-flash. Could probably fix it faster than a reply here.
But are there any good battery mods for BB 2.4 that show %?

Yes, that was my taskbar mod that was posted--and I "baked" it specifically for the black bar--from the UOT Kitchen. Glad you found it!
Same problem...love the mod but can't see the time and the kitchen is down.
Great mod though, just need the time to be white.

thanks for that mod! but unfortunately that clock is so dark, if you use a widget clock I could see how it wouldn't matter, but I already have calendar and weather hogging up my main screen.
back to stock BB now
to return to stock courtesy of androidforums
http://www.mediafire.com/?3ubm3dbzy222039 - return to stock
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?h4ekdjd99i23mdz - and this to give you a battery meter, works fine on bumblebee
I would go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik-cache. Seemed to work for me
thanks, will give the battery meter a try.
Had no problems re-flashing I was already done before a reply Still had the bbrom.zip on my sd card, so just wiped and reloaded. No need to go back to a pure stock rom. Only thing new was titanium backup, which seemed to work fine. I only have a few apps, I probably could have almost re-downloaded as fast.
C'mon kitchen. I want to mess around a bit.
edit: new battery bar works great, thank you

This one uses the edify script instead of amend... if you are running into that problem.

I tried to post a link to a BBBlackNotificationbar.zip that has white clock text that once flashed would allow you to flash any black status bar you might cook in UOT's Kitchen over it,and still have the white clock text. Some rule that says I have to wait until 8 posts before I could. So go to Android Central. Optimus V,Optimus V Rooting .ROM's,and Hack's. Go to page #2 look in Change time color on status bar? Go to permalink #6. I posted said link there. I used it on several ROM's(don't need it right now I got a cool theme with the ROM I'm running)..... Man that was a lot of extra work!
People are always posting in the ROM threads wondering if a 1% battery mod is possible. I, personally, dont understand why it seems to be harder to accomplish on ICS and JB than Gingerbread. But I have come across some alternatives for those who need 1% increments.
First, there is Minimalistic Text. This allows you to put a widget on your home screen showing 1% increments of the battery. Just create a battery level widget and you're done. (see attached screenshot)
Second, there is a newer app called Battery Widget Reborn Beta. Along with adding a widget to your home screen, this app will allow you to have a constant, customizable notification (see attached screenshot). What is interesting about this app is that it has a "motorola 1% hack" in the settings that makes this possible for us. Which leads me to a question/theory.
If this app is using a 1% hack specified for motorola devices, is it possible for some smart dev to look at how this app is doing this and maybe make a mod based on it to give us a built in 1% hack? Just thought I would bring that up. Other than than that, the other two apps are working great for me.
You're right on with the Minimalistic Text. I used it and it works just fine.

I actually just started using the Battery Widget Reborn and find it really cool. I removed my Minimalistic Text widget and I'm going to try this one out for a bit. I also just removed the battery icon all together since this puts a notification in the status bar.
Awesome. Thanks for this.
The app Battery Indicator uses a Motorola hack to get 1% battery increments working, but it doesn't override the Android battery icon.
Been using it for a while and I don't mind the extra notification, so some people might like it.

That app seems to be similar to Battery Widget Reborn. I think its weird these apps use a "Motorola Hack." Whats with Motorola that doesnt allow 1% increments. And why is it so hard to get this built in?
PREREQUISITES:
You need root and a root file manager.
Stock firmware (I337MVLUAMDJ ONLY), odex - it doesn't work with deodexed files.
Due to the changes Samsung made to the SystemUI.apk, this mod cannot be used on the last firmware (I337MVLUAMG1)
Color Circle - Animated: - ADVANTAGE: easy to asses at a glance, just by color and the size of the circle
Discharging:
- Colored, animated circles: High Resolution, 100-50 Green, 49-30 Yellow, 29-16 Orange, 15-0 Red - all reflecting 1% changes.
- Numbers (percentage) color: white (except 15-0, which are red) - 1% increment
Charging::
- Colored circles reflecting the correspondent charging level - both in color and size, refreshed in 1% increment
- The numeral corresponding to the respective charging level, refreshed in 1% increment, alternates with charging symbol (animated)
Other changes from the original SystemUI.apk:
- Status bar color changed to 100% black
- Nothing else
Blue Circle - Animated: - ADVANTAGE: the largest available high resolution, clear numerals.
This MOD uses Kryptos battery icons but all the other elements are white - like the original SystemUI.apk
Discharging:
- Blue circle animated - all reflecting 1% changes
- Numbers (percentage) color: High resolution, LARGEST NUMERALS AVAILABLE, white (except 10-0, which are red) - 1% increment
Charging::
- Between 0-10 the charging symbol is red, changing to white between 11-100. All Blue Circles - see the attached screenshot (#4)
- The numeral corresponding to the respective charging level, refreshed in 1% increment, alternates with charging symbol (animated)
Other changes from the original SystemUI.apk:
- Status bar color: from 100% Black to 100% transparent (Black - 25% - 50% - 75% - 100%)
- 6 Quick icons (vs. original 5)
- Larger date on the expanded status bar
EVERY STEP IS IMPORTANT!!! ------- DON'T SKIP, DON'T IMPROVISE, DON'T RUSH!!!
1. Go to system>app and RENAME the current SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.bak (this helps you restore your original file/state if you ever need/want to). DO NOT DELETE THE SystemUI.odex (assuming you use the stock odex file system).
2. Wait for about 5-7 sec - most likely the phone will reboot by itself once the SystemUI.apk gets renamed. The phone will start normally, although you won’t have a status bar at all (also possibly some funky looking graphics/wallpaper). No worries, this is normal!!
3. Rename the attached SystemUI_Circles.apk to SystemUI.apk
4. Copy the renamed SystemUI.apk to system>app
5. Change the file permissions to rw-r--r-- (644) (see the attached screenshot)
6. Reboot
7. Fix/set your wallpaper - it was changed to the default.
8. ENJOY
If you don’t like it or for whatever reasons you want to revert back to the original file/status, go through the same steps, but this time rename the “saved” SystemUI.apk.bak in system>app to SystemUI.apk. Make sure permissions are right!!!
This MOD can be used in conjunction with NottachXposed - in other words, if you like to have any of these battery icons but you'd also like to take advantage of the multitude of other customizations available through NottachXposed, they should work just fine together (as long as you don't specifically change anything related to battery icons in NottachXposed) - this way you can take advantage of both MOD's

Feel free to use my XXHDPI Circle Battery Icons in your theming as well, they're higher resolution and have larger digits in the display, much easier to read at a quick glance!

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. The icons I used are 60x60 but I have to admit, the digits in your icons are significantly larger, they may very well be more practical.
I'll definitely give them a try, see how they look.

Sorry, didn't necessarily mean higher resolution in that they were better quality, just that the circle is larger, almost all the way to the edges of the 54 x 54 dimensions. But use 'em if you like 'em!

Same. Also using MDOB and it didn't work. Wished it did though. I think it may be for the reason of deodexed... not entirely sure though.

Sorry! it must be the deodexed file structure. It seems to be working for everybody with odex

It's OK. Hopefully something can be figured out for those that are deodexed. Thanks for trying.

I believe most users come here with the knowledge that some sort of an alternative eventually can be found in Play store, but this is NOT what xda stands for. XDA (and Android generally speaking) is about freedom of expression, ideas, challenges, customization, learning, sharing and so, leaving some mark by just being here as a giver. Never wondered why so many brilliant developers here never ask for anything in return?
Plus, on a more practical note, no battery app from the Play store can replace or customize the system battery. In other words you'll have to live with some redundancy and useless extras in your status bar. People here just don't like that.
Like with anything else in life, the greatest satisfactions come from giving not from taking.
Cheers, my friend!

I'm just offering an easy alternative, no root, no odex, no nothing , not asking for a life speech. And no, battery circle does not clog the status bar, it just adds a customizable battery circle. thats it.
I just noticed though the circle meter always shows 71. Seems like it's stuck. My battery is at 80. Maybe I need to charge it and it will sync up.
