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 You can see some (semi-outdated) screenshots here: http://picasaweb.google.com/113127051130934911253/AndroidStuff?feat=directlink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

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

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.

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.

Hello
First I would like to thank bharat_goku for this awesome ROM, so thank you
Now lets get to the business
1. Sometimes I have an odd problem. Apps that are installed not from the market force closes. On some apps this problem fixes itself after half a day or something like that. Magic, isn't it? I remember reading in some ROM thread that broken APK signatures may cause force close problem. The question is how can i fix it?
2. Is there a way to replace current transparent status bar to default one?
3. Is there a way to remove recent apps from notification box? It really feels sluggish now and lacks some space.
4. Is it possible to get default 2.1 lockscreen running? If so, what would I need to do to get one running? However this is more like for experimentation
5. Is there a way to *lock* apps like Phone and Messages in memory so they could always respond as fast as possible. I remember them being auto-killed on some roms... I currently didn't experience such behavior on this ROM since I didn't get any calls but I would like to be sure
6. I suppose I could manage to find this one easily but since I'm asking already... Where could I find old market app?
7. I'm thinking of making swap file and enable Compcache since GB eats memory pretty fast. I've seen them doing magic on Heroine (Sense 2.1) ROM. I'm gonna try these tweaks when I find some spare time... Has anyone tried something like that on this ROM? Was it worth it?
Well I think thats it for now. I'm not afraid of (adb) shell so if some answers involves using it that would not be a deal breaker

3. you can download and install "Remove recent apps from status bar" under Options from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090186
4. you can try this lockscreen for Wildfire which is similar to default 2.1 lockscreen for Hero, download and install "Wildfire Lockscreen" from the same thread mentioned above.

I found that if you select the slate skin, you get the status bar back and the whole rom feels faster. I also like the blue button highlights.

I have found out that this problem is related to sd-card. It seems to be mounted as read only and some programs force closes when they cant write to that sd-card. I suppose this kind of stuff should be defined somewhere (maybe some ini file). So now the question is how can I make it writable.
P.S. I doubt it's my cards fault since I can access it through recovery USB mount without any problems.
P.P.S. I cant mount sd-card as disk drive through ROM.
P.P.P.S. I am also using LVX 0.6.2 so that may be a problem... I'll try flashing 0.5 when i get home
I guess I'm gonna need to reflash the ROM <looking for encouragement >

1. I think I've fixed it. I reflashed the ROM without wiping everything and now SD card works as it should, no FC's after that..
2. I have changed theme to Slate and then just accidentally changed back to default theme and the status bar is not transparent anymore
3. As stated few posts above the mod from SalsaSense works perfectly.
4. Same as 3.
5. It does seem to work well so I think it may not be needed here. However it would still be interesting to have some information about this.
6. Seems that old market app does not want to work with this ROM.. Oh well..
7. I've found out that compcache is not compiled into LVX kernel (or not enabled) so I could not test it out. About swap I did not test it either since atm my sd-card is too slow to even begin with something like that.
I hope this information will be useful to someone.
However I still have some issues... The phone drains battery in a day or so while doing nothing. Thats odd since with older sense 2.1 roms I could manage to push 3 to 5 days with light phone usage (really light, like 1 call a day, 3 texts and 10 mins browsing and of course alarm clock). However I did not use LVX kernel back then and governor was ondemand where now govenor is smartassv2. So battery life may not be entirely roms fault.
I'm gonna try to wipe battery stats and see how it goes then.
EDIT: Seems that wiping battery stats helped somehow. I don't have any idea how battery stats works, seems strange...

Well the thing is I used Slate theme from the beginning and then after having problems and reflashing ROM without wiping any data etc I changed theme to Default one. Since then the status bar is just like the original one, no transparency.
I have also flashed a mod that removes recently used apps from notification bar so maybe that has something to do with this. Strange.

Factory reset seems like a huge risk now.I mean what if that doesn't fix the problem and u ll be stuck with a useless phone where u cant download any apps or do anything
Maybe you habe disabled any important System-App for installation. Try to enable all apps and install the Updates again
Put it into battery saving mode...then put it back to normal mode...that usually fixes the no update to playstore ect
so far cleared cache, removed account, still can't seem to update preloaded samsung apps from the galaxy apps store (yes, cleared the app data as well). Google Play Store working fine though...
Update: Seems it was my work wifi, worked at home. Weird
Anyone know how to change the transition effects on the s9+ after the pie update?
Driving me insane trying to find it.
All i've found is a setting to turn it on & off again in biometrics settings! I still can't change what style i want? Any help with this would be very welcomed please.
Also, i want to change the default light to dark theme setting, but it's telling me i can't change it whilst i have a theme on from the theme store! How dumb is that! Good one samsung! I can only have a dark settings theme, without using a theme from your store!! How stupid!!
Anyone got a solution/way round these settings, please comment.

This part actually makes sense. The default theme is probably built so that it can change between both light and dark. Specifically built themes would not have a need for this functionality as the theme is already built the way the themer wanted it to look.

Yes i get that, but It's the "night mode" setting that chages the notifications and settings background, from light to dark that i want to keep dark, when i have a theme from the store set.
I have only managed to find one theme in the store that lets me keep the night mode active. But i am not that keen on it. Just was hoping there was a way to keep the night mode atvive when a theme was set.
Do you know where the transition settings are on pie at all? Want to change the style, but now can't find the setting?

Thank you for your reply, yes i have noticed that i can change it to dark node ONLY when set to the default theme.
Seems a little silly really, why put that option there & give you the option of changing the theme as well, only to discover, it wont work with a chosen theme!
Like i mentioned, there is one theme i have found that works with night mode, but i'm not to keen on it.
Shame!
Ok so has anyone found the page transition settings yet?
Customisation is key to Android, as everyone knows, but when you are limited to only certain customisations, it kinda defeates the object!?
Hello!
I’m considering buying this phone and I’m heavily into customization, I have a few questions about what you can do to S10 Lite to personalize the experience and how far it’ll let me change things before I have to resort to root or custom ROMs that are risky and missing for now.
First, about the themes, I found two good customization apps for Samsung devices, Good Locks and #hex Installer, can you use together?
What’s the extent of their customization, using both or the best of them if you can only have one working, can you:
1. Have a custom accent color system wide? So the same color for toggles, volume slider, highlights, colored text, notifications, quick settings etc/ like on stock android?
2. Can you change quick settings buttons background shape?
3. Are you able to switch recents view to a vertical stack of cards with the clear button bottom center?
4. Can you change icons for individual apps with stock launcher?
5. Change the navigation bar height, button size and spacing between them?
6. I like two fonts, Ubuntu and Google Product Sans, is any of them available?
7. Where can I check Good Locks availability in my region? Also, can it become unavailable with updates?
8. Do 3rd party customization apps from play store work? Kwgt, Custom Volume Sliders, Custom Navigation Bar etc.?
Next, I have a few questions regarding general usability:
9. Can you get rid of google assistant/bixby? They can be installed, I just don’t want to ever see them or have them running when not launched.
10. Does the Always on Display work well, is it actually always on?
11. Can you have the AoD show 3rd party app icons with a notification counter?
12. Does it have any problems with 3rd party launchers, Nova specifically?
13. Have you tried the Non-root version of YouTube Vanced? Does it work without issues? Can you install it with MicroG and log in?
I’ve also heard that Samsung’s OneUI likes to kill apps and prevent them from running in the background.
14. Did you have any issues with widgets getting stuck, becoming unresponsive, not updating and not working properly in general because they get killed by the system, did you have any issues like this?
15. Did you have any problems with 3rd party app notifications? Are you getting notifications from 3rd party messaging, email and other apps? Do they still come in when the screen is locked and the phone is in deep sleep?
I’m sorry in advance, I know it’s a lot but I’m very used to having the phone set up my way and I don’t want to spend this kind of money only to have to immediately root it or put up with a phone that doesn’t work properly for me.
Lol.. This is huge. I'll reply to some.
7 Good lock is working fine. In my country is not available but no problem. You can download the apk, everything works. If you know what good lock can do, then most of your questions (1,2) are replied as you can change notifications colors etc, at least what good lock is letting you change. Also 3 yes, with good lock.
5 by changing dpi through developer setting you can shrink everything so shrink navigation bar. Other navigation bar apps also works.
8 kwgt etc working fine.
9 yes. Froze them and anythings else you want by package disabler pro app.
10 works fine. You select if you want it or not.
12 nova works fine. I actually can't answer about samsung launcher as i always use nova. If you use it, then most of your questions also being answered as you know what nova can do.
13 yes to all, i use it always. (I use the hacked completely black amoled version, not the gray one, last version).
14 I have a problem actually with 1 widget, eWeather. Is somehow change size some times, and when go to its nova page, it changes ok again.. But i haven't problems with any other.
15 I don't have any problem with notifications but phone is a bit strange. It has 2 deep sleep apps somehow and need to untick the apps you want to have notifications to both of them. It reminds me xiaomi
It is good as due to this probably it has amazing battery. But it is a bit aggressive i think. Some times i lost some notifications but it was probably my fault, I'm not sure. Anyway i don't think there is a problem there. But better have more answers to this.
My opinion is that the phone is fantastic especially in battery, but its all about what everyone needs more.
Perhaps my video there, the comment, some hacks, the description and xda link there may help you, read it. I updating everything useful i find by writing new comments there, so anyone interested check it by time to time. Most things i post there are working to most samsung phones.

Again, I can answer a few. Mine is completely stock (not rooted). I may have needed to change settings when I bought the phone, but I don't recall which ones.
9: I don't know about getting rid of the assistants, but I've never even noticed that they're present, so they're unobtrusive.
10: Yes, Always On Display does what you expect. I have mine set to switch off overnight, but that's entirely optional.
11: Yes, I get notification counters on things like Aquamail.
12: I've been using Nova since the day I bought it. No problems.
14/15: For context, I get annoyed by these kinds of issues, and I won't buy another Huawei phone for exactly these reasons. On the S10 Lite, as currently configured, I get all notifications and widgets update as expected (agenda, Google Keep etc.), so I'm happy enough. I had to turn off 'Adaptive Power Saving', 'Adaptive Battery' and 'Put unused apps to sleep' to achieve that, though, and I've added a number of apps to 'Apps that won't be put to sleep'.

Thank you very much guys! Your replies clarified a lot!
Did you/could you perhaps check if Good Locks and #hex Installer can be used together or if you have to pick one to customize the system?

I'm not sure if I worded it correctly in the OP so I fixed it now, but could you please clarify if this refers to the Always on Display?

Ah, sorry, misunderstood. I get 3rd party notification icons on the AOD but I've not seen a counter, I'm afraid.

I don't understand why.. One file name has the word "black" so i dont think i mistaken the files..
Try setting, go to general, display, and then choose the black theme therel settings - vanced setting - display settings (or something like this, i translate from my language), and there is also a black theme setting there. Although i does think this is the problem..
Try also the new version here :
(The specific link it's not pirate or something, it is only for vanced hack)

You must install no root, black arm64 version. I think you need sai application from playstore to install the file you will download.
