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 You can see some (semi-outdated) screenshots here: http://picasaweb.google.com/113127051130934911253/AndroidStuff?feat=directlink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.

Thanks for the help in getting everyone started with the battery mod, now I just need to decide when enough is enough for theming icons, lol.
Anyway, I'm about to head to bed, but I'm attaching a zip with the signal icons I modded, so if anyone wants to make a metamorph, go ahead, just please give a link back to this thread when/if you post.

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?)
cheers,

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

This is REALLY awesome, guy!

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.
cheers,
=)

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.

I'm using:
Vibrant6 Eclair 2.1 flashable
RyanZA's lag fix
Fightspit's Super Circle Battery with %
My notification panel was messed up before I installed super circle battery. Any body else having this problem. It's really irritating me for some reason. It just looks broken. Check out the pics. The first pick is my homescreen, the second is full notification panel and the third is an empty notification panel. You shouldn't be able to see the icons... it should just be all white.
Anyone else having this problem?
I am as well, and I appear to be set up the same way with Vibrant6 and the RyanZA lag fix. I noticed that it occurred with just the Vibrant6 ROM though.
Do you think it might be just designed that way?
I ran into the same issue, and was able to resolve it by doing so:
I highly reccomend doing a nandroid backup first
1. Install MetaMorph from the android market
2. Visit the ClearBar v.0.3 post in the Themes & Apps forum
3. Download the clear-to-stock.zip & place it in the AndroidThemes folder of your internal SD card
4. Run MetaMorph & install/extract the clear-to-stock.zip theme
5. Install ONLY the "SubTheme: twframework-res.apk" theme (Morphs the pull-down notification list)
6. Reboot
That puts it back to stock, but it may remove other small UI customizations.
I don't see why it would be designed that way... It sucks. maybe if it was opaque it would look cool. It just looks broken now. you shouldn't see icons you can't click.
Is there maybe a notification panel mod I could flash that, while it might be different, would fix the see-through problem?
lol... Thanks noobish.
Was writing my last post while you were writing yours and you've answered my question.

Yeah I didn't realize you couldn't click on the icons that were showing behind the notifications pulldown
SUCCESS!!
It worked.

Can i use theme zipper on the stock xt720 rom?
All i really wanna do is get the black bar across the top lol
and ive been having way to many issues with other roms.
If you are only applying one thing, you can just use Metamorph from the market (rooted). Then go to Droidpirate.com and find you notification bar you want and follow the dorections.
Quick and easy. Zipthemer can do multiple changes as once in an update.zip style.
ty sir!! you just saved me from bricking my phone again i think
K so i just had a issue i applied a notification bar and now i cant see the time. lol. everything is black. Any idea's. I already tried to reapply the thing. dident work.

What version of Android are you using? Stock to me means 2.1 from Motorola, but I'm realizing that now people may mean Dexter's 1.3 as released by Cincinnati Bell.

IIRC changing the clock color can't be done by a theme, you have to edit the framework. Or something like that. What version of Android are you using? Stock to me means 2.1 from Motorola, but I'm realizing that now people may mean Dexter's 1.3 as released by Cincinnati Bell.

The clock color is contained in the services.jar file. You would probably also need a modified xml in framework-res that controls the ticker text (e.g. the text that flashes on the statusbar when you updated an app from market) & the color of the date that displays when the status bar is expanded.

No reason why it shouldn't work. Just pull the two requested files.

ive seen some posts of some people saying that it removed their status bar so i wanna know if it'll work all the way and not delete the status bar if i change the status bar icons
For it to work, you need to pull framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk from the exact ROM you want to theme. Otherwise you WILL have problems. I themed eclipse 1 and tried to use the theme on eclipse 2 and lost my status bar. Ended up needing sbf.
[sent from my blurless DX2]
Strange, I've used it to theme 2.2, .4., and .5 now without any issues. I made five or six different themes for 2.2 before finally getting everything setup just the way I liked it and I've flashed that same theme each time I've updated Eclipse since.
I'd like to know if UOT will work with these new Atrix ROMs that are being ported over. I intend to stick with Eclipse (why fix something that's not broken), but I might play around with a couple Atrix ROMs, just to see what they're like, and would like to keep MY theme.
UOT should work just fine. It doesn't really matter which ROM. Just make sure you are using the right specific files.
