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 You can see some (semi-outdated) screenshots here: http://picasaweb.google.com/113127051130934911253/AndroidStuff?feat=directlink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!
Great work.
so i just need to put this on my internal sd, boot into recovery and hit "reinstall packages" or whatever the hell it says? Im kind of new to all of this stuff.. so im just making sure you have to learn sometime haha

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.

Nookie Blue by Misfit343
OK ladies and germs, this page is still a little rough but like everything with time it wont be such an eye sore...
Disclaimer: Just like every thing else you find on XDA, I am not responsible for your actions or choices, by this point you have already voided your warenty so can't blame me for that, and if you nook goes tits up when you use my stuff not my fault... ye be warned!
That being said I will never realease something that could potentally damage your nook, and any xml or framework changes will be heavily tested on my own property before I ever provide a copy to the public.
OK it has been requested that a black theme with a touch of red be my next project i'm hoping by the end of the weekend I will have a new theme out there for you guys
Misfits Nookie Blue v 1.04 is ready to download!!
http://www.multiupload.com/0ZQFOZ52E1
v1.03
http://rapidshare.com/files/445405534/Misfits_Nookie_Blue_V1.03-signed.zip
Update i almost have my black and red theme complete just working out a couple bugs, im also hoping to incorporate a 1% battery mod to both themes... still getting a boot loop as of now... this is what is delaying me at this time
Change log:
v1.04 no services mod
added samuelhalff's Network/carrier removal mod to the package,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924916
v1.03
Initial release
Blue themed icons boxes and selectors
Added boot animation
Boot is the 2.1 nook animation for now, I apologize again for having no clue who made it but who ever you are you rock
Added a hand full of notification tones
Working on:
I'm trying to perfect the shut down animation
Startup and shut down sounds
Different notification bar, may go with clear for main bar
Investigating clock color change
And adding themed apps to match
I have been unable to get this to flash to Froyo when running from the micro SD, may just be my lack of knowledge on running from a micro SD but you guys are welcome to pull apart my zips and pull what you need, if you need instruction on how to apply my stuff without CWM let me know and I will post a walk through.
Ok here are some basic screen shots so you can get a feel for it
for now until I can figure out how how to change the font color for the clock on the notification bar to something other than black, I have set the bar to blue so the clock is visible
All popups that are controlled through the framework have a light blue glow, and highlighting is blue, battery gauge it a liquid battery that i got from the hero themes (I apologize for not remembering who i borrowed it from, its much appreciated tho)
the back ground is from Flikie wallpapers, but have found it in other places too
http://www.multiupload.com/WLBHB6PO25
this is the original framework with the black notification bar you will loose your clock with this
just copy paste this to your /system/framework and reboot
another page for me...
now im just being greedy
Just to be clear, you use CWR booted from an SDCard not, on the Internal eMMC Froyo, right? Mine CWR was wiped out after putting Froyo on eMMC. Thanks.

Yes I still have to use the card haven't yet figured out how to put it back. should be able to just drop this to the SD-card reboot into CWR and flash zip. Will know more when I get home and sign the zip... cant at work.
Other wise I will just post my framework-res.apk and the people who have ADB or root explorer can just paste to the /system/framework file.
I would rather get the zip running because I can add boot and shut down ani's and sound files, and other goodies
Thanks! Sounds promising!
Very nice. installed perfectly
Hated froyos nasty gray :/

did you mod the framework-res.apk file to do this? this flash removes your old copy and inserts mine. if you did, send me a copy of your framework-res.apk and i will swap in my changes for you, and email you a zip
thank you so much. this theme + the buttons in the notification bar will rock
this is the .zip i use.
ok here is your framework moded
http://www.multiupload.com/K36JT31GK0
and here is a flashable zip
http://www.multiupload.com/HXWS2AMNFC
just flashed it and it looks incredible! i love the boot animation! Even the notification buttons are working, my only problem is they kind of stand out because they dont match the theme but overall it is amazing
glad you like it i will see if i can make them match too but no promises
Thanks a lot for this...it looks great!
Looking forward to a black version...and just a thought, but a black with red accents would look awesome as well.
Great work though...would be willing to donate if you're set up to do that.

I just rooted and I'm running on stock. I would love to change my notification bar. Could someone explain it in detail for me. Is there a way to do it without flashing another ROM? Im planning on flashing liberty soon though. Im a noob so any descriptive help would be awesome!
Sent from my Rooted DROID2
nope, you have to flash it but its not hard...
you can use metamorph, this is what i did because i just never got around to installing a rom. I did this on my droid 2 (rooted) stock rom
This is the site i found the notification bars on, but i dont know how to change the clock, so i have a black bar and a black clock, which i dont mind to much, but it might bother you
droidpirate DOT com/category/metamorph-2/notifications-metamorph-2/
EDIT: that site also contains other morphs for things like battery skin, gps, signal... so on
remember to ALWAYS make a nandroid backup incase things dont work out as planned
Sorry wrong thread
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Could you please run me through the process of using metamorph? I tried doing some research but wasn't satisfied enough to try. Do I just place say the notification bar theme in the android themes folder open metamorph and then new project, find the bar zip and click it? I hope it's that easy! Also have you run into any problems?

I was running the blue soft keys and now when I put them back in sytem/app I get force closes and the entire nav bar disappears. Any ideas? I really hate the skinned look Asus puts on them. Thanks in advance.
Swiftks hit the nail on the head, there were some changes to the SystemUI that breaks older versions. (I know, captain obvious over here) Give the developer of the theme a chance to update the PNG files, or do it yourself. I ran into the same problem yesterday and copying the PNG files I wanted into the new SystemUI.apk fixed it.
I'm not sure how to do that. The nav keys I was using are just stock ICS blue. If you or anyone happens to have a link to some I could use with the updated files that would be fandamntastic. I can't seem to find the thread where I downloaded them from. I know they were on XDA but I've been searching since yesterday. Thanks again

Make sure to copy to correct folder, and select "store" for the compression method, that way they are not compressed.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
Yes, I am putting the file in system/app and the file is not compressed. I've done this with each of the updates and now it doesn't work. I was thinking it may be because Asus added the lock function to the nav bar. Once again if anyone has another file they could point me too that would be awesome. I can't find the thread that I got my ICS blue buttons from.
How can I get a totally black statusbar?
Have been looking around, but I cant find out how.
I'm using Foxhound 1.5, which it my favorite, but I hate the transparent statusbar.
When dragging it down, the icons in the back is too visible, which is not how i like it.
Anybody know how to do it or have a link for a mod with a black statusbar?
Thanks

Sorry, my bad
Found it right after I posted it. Got a little confused.
Thanks anyway
[SOLVED]
Ok, so I tried to black out my statusbar,which worked fine on 4.1.1, but now that I'm on 4.1.2 I cant get it to work.
Using Foxhound 1.6 now, and was on 1.4 when everything worked
Have been trying themes from motomoto and raubkatze, but everytime I use a theme that may black out my statusbar I get no theme or SystemUI FCs.
The actual theme and everything else works fine, but the statusbar will not get black.
Has also flashed a theme that contains a black statusbar, but its still transparent
Anyone got a clue?
EDIT: Never mind.. Figured it out!
