Ok so I wanna start off by saying that I'm not new to flashing roms/kernels/themes however... I have never tried to edit a theme..
I am currently running BAMF 1.5 and I love everything about the rom except the battery percentage icon.. I find myself OCD'ing about the battery drain if I can sit there and watch % by %..
I did attempt this but was not successful.. What I did was downloaded BAMF 1.5_debloated which is totally stock.. went into the framework-res.apk pulled the battery.png's... I then went into the framework-res.apk of BAMF 1.5, deleted the battery icons 0-100 (1%-100%), and replaced them with the png files that do no have a battery % on them. saved the framework-res.apk and then basically placed it back in the whole rom which i then reflashed.. what i found was that while the phone was charging it looked fine (did not edit these icons) but once i removed the charger the battery icon just dissapeared..
to make it a bit easier to follow.. essentially i grab the battery png files from one ROMS framework-res.apk and replaced another ROMS framework-res.apk battery pngs with them..
my question is basically, am i even close to accomplishing my goal or am i waaaayyyy off??
thanks in advance!

I had a feeling that was the issue.. I found that file and wondered how I was supposed to edit it.. I opened it in note pad and got a bunch of gibberish..
Any idea of any good tutorials for editing this? All the guides I found were for creating a whole theme and although I'm pretty computer literate.. That seems to be way over my head

2 options:
you will have to decompile the the apk using apk manager or the like. or you can cheat and take a xml from a rom that is completely stock and replace it in your modded apk. and throw it back in the rom and flash

Part of the reason is that the stock ROM doesn't have 100 battery icons.
Another option would be to replace the icons with a set that don't have the numbers on them.
I personally don't care for the numbers either, that's one of the first things I change.

If you deleted the battery icons and then put the battery icons from a stock ROM then you don't have all of the icons.
The stock ROM doesn't have 100 battery icons.
It goes like: 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100
Or something similar.
Open your edited apk and double check your numbers.
Other than that, did you use 7zip or winzip?

Guys, just so you know, i loaded this the new homebase rom with update, and it has the battery percentage as 1% thank god!!!
Making an attempt...
I'm still a noob so pardon me if i'm not really adding anything here. I'm going to try to make the mod. So far I've:
1) Downloaded apktool
2) Decompiled the framework-res.apk file
3) Went into stats_sys_battery.xml and added the lines for each percentage
...LOL that's where I'm at and this'll take a while...so sorry if I'm taking a long time with this...I also just saw that last post about having the 1% mod on the home based rom...****! LOL! Well, if anyone's interested, I'll still give it a shot...hopefully i don't brick my phone.
4) Went into UOT Kitchen and downloaded some battery icons (now i have all charging/status icons...I didn't want to make it myself)
5) Wondering if I replace stats_sys_battery.xml with my modded one, recompile, that it would work?
If you use minimalistic text, it shows battery level in increments of 1%

What ROM do you need the mod for? If you're talking Joker's skinny ROMs, then you can flash those as they have the % mod. Also Rangerbry posted the % mod way back for BLUR Roms. If you're talking ICS. Not ready yet, though I had extracted the systemui.apk and decompiled it, made my xml edits. but apktool doesn't compile the unrecognized ICS yet, so right now, we're stuck.

To see if its your environment or your edits, decompile and don't make any changes then recompile. Depending on the results you'll have your answer.

Yup but so far for the Rezound it is battery mods only.
Battery mods are the biggest part, is over 200 images to do it 1 by 1 is killer, I've done it and it sucks.the rest of the theme building is pretty easy and less tedious. I nominally use uot for the battery then build from there. glad to see they got it going. I've been itching to builds some themes for this phone, once I get the time I plan on getting a few out there

That's right, you only need to decompile/recompile if you're updating XML or changing icon sizes(since you have to move alignment).

Has anyone tried using the kitchen via your phones browser rather than PC? I've tried using a bunch of browsers, dolphin seems to be the only one to do anything when clicking "select file"to upload. It opens flash, says in uploads, and no files found. By chance does this use a specific directory to upload from? If so, where?

Anyone have a working apk for putting the battery percent back inside the battery icon. I don't know why google or htc doesn't do this. Thanks. Loving my new evo!!!
If im not mistaken, this is just a hack that is done on custom roms. To my knowledge, there is no .apk that does this on the PLay Store.
We will have to wait for root. Custom battery mods are edited framework-res.apk files, which are in /system/framework. We will need full root to be able to push the file.

Root is already here
Sent from my Synergized Aggressive Lionfish Evo using the XDA app
since root is here I guess we are waiting for everyone to settle in and start writing custom roms.
I'm aware that a version of root is here. Since you've got it under control...use adb to pull the framework-res.apk from system/framework, upload it to the ultimate online theme kitchen, then repush the output file to your system
I'm running the ChargeBar app to show the battery line at the top of the screen. It helps with knowing where the battery is at.
The biggest issue aside from not knowing the exact battery percentage when not charging, is when the phone is charging you have no idea how much battery is charged at all! The battery indicator animates between empty and full, so you don't even get an approximation of how much is charged. It's a major oversight.
I'm using this battery widget on my homescreen, which is quite customizable:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wancuYmF0dGVyeXdpZGdldCJd
Doing the batt % is fairly simple and can already be done.

I know I said flash, but I meant pushed. I adb pushed to /system/app/ and chmod to 644. It worked. Then, I reverted back and that is when stuff went crazy. I think you are right though that I will have to wipe and start over. No worries. Thanks.

Sorry for the headache man.. This was also done on an Odex rom. Not sure if it matters or not.

I am on Odex too. I think your mod works. I probably messed with the Odex file's permissions or something when I reverted. :good: No need for anyone to be afraid, this works as intended. I just was working too fast and not double checking my steps.
Sorry for the noob question. This morning, I tried to fool around with system/app/systemui.apk using ninjamorph, but I kept messing stuff up and having to restore from my TWRP backup. Any ideas?
change the drawables in the systemui.apk i do it outside with 7zip...im no themer by any means but ive fooled around with a few things
Thanks for the advice. It led me to search for more info on 7zip and I found this post:

muCommander! Just rename the .apk to .zip and browse it using muCommander just like you would using WinRar! Just tested it, I was able to add and remove files without resigning. The modified apk installed on my phone without a problem!
As for editing xml values you can simply copy the xml file out and edit it using your favourite editor and then copy them back in.
Hope I was able to help some OS X users.
/edit By the way, this method (WinRar or muCommander) also works for editing update.zip. This means you can customise the rom (add/remove system apks, change the boot animation etc) before you flash it.
The one thing I'm having trouble with is the green bars on the bottom of the notification toggles. I can't find where they're at.

I'm using CleanROM. I really hate the green Touchwiz battery and toggles, so I used this ICS blue theme from my GS3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775235

Here's a darker blue one that I'm using on clean ROM. http://db.tt/mGPjN9Va
Replace systemUI with this one.

In a root file explorer (I use esfile) move the systemui.apk to system>app ... It will ask you to replace the existing file ..chose yes. Then reboot. (It will start force closing ...don't panic...work through the warnings and reboot).
