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 You can see some (semi-outdated) screenshots here: http://picasaweb.google.com/113127051130934911253/AndroidStuff?feat=directlink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

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.

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.

Here are a bunch of different Battery Icons from multiple Dev's/Modders including myself that were made... and now work in the JI6 OTA roms.
Big thanks goes out to zimphishmonger for working with me on making the original battery icons based on 'fightspit's mod' work on our Vibrants. Also thank you to s0niqu3 for her modded framework that allowed me to port the icons to OTA JI6, and make them work with the lockscreens.
All these can be flashed with clockwork.
These Icons are only for the JI6 OTA Rom and will not work on the JFD stock rom or any other roms for that matter (This includes Bionix Roms!)
*10-15-10 Fixed the issue with the menu button unlocking the phone in the android lockscreen included with the battery mods. Thanks to s0niqu3 for all her help!
*10-14-10 Added a new Updated Android Battery Icon
See post 4 for the icons with the lockscreen included.
See Post 3 for battery icons that work with the lockscreen mod! (Not Included)
Screenshots are in the the 2nd post.
This post has the battery icons with no lockscreen or lockscreen compatibility.
Who Made Them:
Square Battery Icons - The3dman
Circular Battery Blue - Originally by FightSpit and ported by Zimphishmonger & The3dman
Segmented Battery Green - Originally by FightSpit and ported by Zimphishmonger & The3dman
Orb Battery - The3dman
Upright Battery Icons - s0niqu3
Stock Accurate Battery Icons - s0niqu3
MoonPhase Battery Icons - The3dman
Android Battery Icons - The3dman
The LockScreen - untermensch

Screen Shots
Battery Icons LockScreen Compatible but Not Included
Here are the same icons but made to work with the lockscreen mod installed on OTA JI6. THESE DO NOT HAVE THE LOCKSCREEN INCLUDED.
Battery Icons with LockScreen Included
Here are the same icons again, but these ones have the lockscreen included.
A big thanks goes to untermensch for the LockScreen.
*Update* All these icons have been updated to include the fix to disable the menu button from unlocking the screen with the android lockscreen.
So, will these also work on non-JI2 ROMs? I'm on JFD (stock) and would love the stock accurate battery.

Nope, I didn't bother, because 28 pixels (the stock width of the colored portion of the battery that represents remaining charge) is just too few to accurately represent the current charge levels, at least for me, without also having the numerical percentage.
Seems like a great opportunity to learn a bit about android and fill the mod you want yourself though, happy to help you out along the way, just so tired of making new PNG files myself, at least until we get CM6 or another AOSP rom, sorry.

Hi,
These shouldn't work on the new franken-twiz build, since they use a newer version of framework-res.apk, that likely relies on changes in other framework files not present in the franken-twiz build.
I've made a very rough beta for the franken-twiz of ONLY the upright/vertical battery mod here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758797
WARNING: Read the op in that thread thoroughly, because you'll lose Eugene's custom theme (well, most of it, not 100% though) if you use my mod, since I wasn't able to get the framework-res.apk he modified to recompile without replacing the entire drawable-hdpi folder with one from a stock JFD rom, hence 99% of touchwiz skin is back in my mod.
I'm also not providing it in a flashable zip form yet, because really, if you flashed his franken build, you should know how to use adb push that he enabled.

generally this occurs when you install one of these themes without being deodexed. if you've installed gladiatrix or Ginger/GreyBlur your system has been deodexed for you. if you're stock, you're probably not deodexed.
if you're on AT&T 1.8.3 and wish to deodex, look here
I'm not sure if the link i posted to you will wipe apps/app data, so I'd take a deeper look into that thread before using it, but that should probably fix your problem if you aren't deodexed. just run that, then reinstall this theme and you should be good.
Raybond,
Thanks for the reply. There seems to be a lot of good info from that thread. Are there any other options other than Deodexing? I'd rather not sacrifice performance or lose my current settings.
Any other advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

there is no other way to theme the frameworks completely without deodexing. Rest assured however that the gain outweighs the loss, or else not so many people would deodex. The performance difference is mainly noticeable in boot time, which doesn't really matter. App performance/general system performance are not affected to the point that you can feel it (if any, just a TINY bit).
Hope this helps you make your decision as to what to do.
Is it possible to add the option of waking up the phone with the volume key?
Good Job!
Thanks!
This is badass. Lol was thinking this was for 4.5.91. I got the permission to port over Evoluer also.
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.

Unfortunately the two latest ones didn't work for me while running MDOB. Maybe someone else can try and report back, but it was a no go for me.

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.
