What do you tweak to allow stock or eclipse .2.2 to read 1% battery increase? Is it an XML edit or an apk tweak?

Pretty sure that's just to theme, and it's more like 200. To get the system to report it in general? Pretty sure that's a whole 'nother beast. I would PM Nitro.

O yeah...thanks Mistawolf...
I thought we had a flashable zip floating around here for 1% accurate battery. I may also just be losing my mind.
I sure do love it in eclipse... Thanks nitro

I have a battery meter with 100 png's in framwork-res.apk im just wondering were to tell it to use all 100 instead of 10% increments, it must be possible because newer eclipse remix does it, i have the png's just where is the battery meter code? or variable to change?
Bump...Anyone? I have all the necessary png's what file do you have to edit or copy over to make 1% increments...Is it in framework-res or somewhere else?
The 1% battery increments alone make Eclipse worth it, to me at least.
Ya there awesome, im running eclipse .2.2 because it just works great for me i have tried other roms and for business and all the time i have put into themeing and tweaking my phone im staying at .2.2 for now. When i look at my framework-res in drawable-hdpi there are all the icons 1-100 from UOT kitchen, then in the xmls like stat_sys_bat.xml or something like that it lists 1-100 i don't get where it needs to be changed everything looks like it should be reading 1% increments but moto isn't letting it.
I saw somewhere i think on CM7 its just a build.prop edit...i doubt that but when i decompile my framework-res everything looks like it should work it seems like there is one thing missing.

We all know the battery icon on the Vibrant is subpar. It looks like you have much more battery than you actually do. The stock icons (10, 20, 40, 60, 80%) don't show their correct percentages.
I made this morph in hopes to fix that issue. I actually measured the available space in the icon and figured how much each percentage would be (10, 20, 40, 60, 80). Only issue I can see is I don't know at what percentages the phone changes icons (ie. 20% icon at actual 20% or another close percentage).
Also including a revert in case someone wants to go back to the stock icon.
(May include comparison screenshots if I can get them)

Sorry.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Also, for those of you that don't want to have to morph, you could always download the battery watcher widget, which displays the percentage of battery remaining in a widget.
True. A lot of widgets will put a percentage up in the status bar. This is more for the OCD (no offense) people that can't stand having it be way off.

Good call. That was the problem. It rebooted, will have wait a bit to see if it works. At 70% right now. Thanks
Anyone willing to make anaccurate battery mod that does not have an icon... I was thinking this would be nice:
- NO battery icon, simply a number in the notification bar.
- NO color, just the numbers in White/Black depending on the bar you are using.
- Benefit would be that it is CLEAN and EASY to read
- I would prefer it cound down in intervals of 5, maybe 10. Anything more than that is overkill and makes me constantly look at the battery... hate it.
Anyone else agree, and more importantly willing to try and do one?
I'm looking for the opposite
Accurate battery icon without the number. Unless I missed it, only ROM that does that right now is Trigger.
Actually, now that I think about it, doesn't the GenX themese basically do what you're looking for?
I like the idea, I like either or. I was looking at some themes on the i9000 page and I'm pretty sure there was one, goldeneye maybe? Not sure, there was two themes I looked at one had just a number and it looked nice. Trigger does just the battery with no numbers and its a lot better than having number and bar.
I think this is a good idea. If anything, it gives us all more options.

Tonic i started to learn to theme recently but i have a question.
If swapping battery mods you only need to copy the new ones in place of the other ones... is that correct? do we need to do anything with the xmls or anything extra?

My suggestion is to have it alternate between current % and 1% higher while charging....and maybe change the color just so you can tell the difference.
Alternatively, you could alternate between current % and a charging icon.
Let me know if you need a hand with it.

I'm ooking for a Stock 2.3.4 GB systemui.apk and framework-res.apk I was playing around with my status bar batt icons and somehow got several other batt icons loaded with my factory ones. Now the staus bar shows a couple different batt icons at different charge %'s. Example: factory GB icon at 100%, round ICS Style at 70%, etc. etc. Can anyone help?
I'm going to ask the dumb question; did you back-up your system before this? If not, can you use an older back-up or maybe find a dump of all the apks
for which phone? Maybe I could help!!

I wouldn't mind trying to port it over myself, I've actually been trying to figure out how the last few hours.. but I would love that theme. Mainly for the battery icon. But also for a little more ICS look.
Working on a stock-looking HTC Style battery with percentage right now. Was thinking this today when I looked at my phone and said to myself.. "I wonder where my battery is really at?"
Getting ready to install it now. Once I finish testing, if all goes well, I'll post it in a few minutes.

I was gonna contact the guy who made the caprombeta rom, he had battery % showing in his.. since he had his rom out so quick I imagine he must have had a quick and dirty method he could share.
I've seen a lot of people griping about the lack of an ICS look so I was considering using this thread that has a tool to port themes with the ICS.zip attached to that link I posted earlier.. it is supposed to put it into any rom(and looking at the batch file it doesn't need a whole rom, just what needs to be flashed). I would probably have it done already but I'm on my mac, and too lazy to sit at the desktop
Well here's mine. Nothing changed over stock theme except I added the percentage to the battery icon.
Also has smooth charging animations instead of the standard choppy ones and shows the current percentage between animation cycles while charging.
Used the UOT Kitchen to make it but replaced the battery images with my own. Hope you guys like it.
Just install in recovery.

It's not a feature directly implemented into the UOT Kitchen.
After the kitchen is done and you download your zip, extract the framework-res.apk from the zip.
Extract the "res" folder from the framework-res.apk and look for the directory "drawable-hdpi". In there you will find 206 images related to the battery. I replaced them all with images that matched HTC's stock battery but including percentage.
After you replace all the images to look how you want, just replace the res folder inside framework-res.apk and replace the one in the zip.

I got a critical error, all I needed was framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk right? So I'm wondering if we don't have a MTD update binary(I didn't think we have emmc) or if I remember right that I am supposed to recompile or sign the apk or something..
Sigh, I had it all done too

And the update file for it still included all the other (unaltered) images which resulted in the file overwriting all the altered images from the theme lol.
Thankfully this one was put together sans all the unaltered images so it works with the theme just fine. Thanks =)

That's really strange because I haven't noticed that problem. After I first installed ARHD, I noticed my battery percent in the status bar would be 2% high from the battery percent displayed in the unlock screen while unlocking.
After about 2 charge cycles and wiping the battery stats once that normalized and now I have excellent battery life and it's extremely accurate.

Thanks for that! Super handy, especially since you can see the %age from the lock screen (why wouldn't google/htc build that in??).
One note though - using it today and it reported 9% remaining within the battery icon, but 7% through other means. Not a huge deal, but thought I'd let you know.
Massiv.
is there any dev who can create a 1% battery mod for the ics leaks, especially .209? i tried the UOT kitchen but it only reads in increments of 10%.
im also curious if anyone might be willing to try to deodex the rom for modding?
+1
No offense, but if the OTA ICS is supposed to be just around the corner why should the DEV's waste time on something that will be lucky to be finished before its even obsolete. Just doesn't seem like a smart way to spend there time to me.
If your in that dire need of a 1% indicator just slap a 1x1 circle battery widget to your main home screen.
I'd like to share your optimism that the moto's ICS will work on 1% basis instead of 10%.
Of course there are some overworks (I am using battery indicator pro to get 1% accuracy) but it would be nice to have the 1% mod so no other applications are needed....
Even if ICS runs 10%, the devs would be better off modding that when it comes out.
I think thats what the response was meant to mean.
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
Well.. "Battery Circle" from the Play store seems to do get the job done, provides 1% accuracy and seems pretty accurate to me
once your used to a mod, it's hard to give it up. uot kitchen states it can cook odexed roms but it did not.

thats not what I meant, I highly doubt out of the box ICS to do 1%, what I meant was why should they right code for a leak, just to have to rewrite the code a week later when the official releases.

yeah but i don't want a extra app to accomplish what could be done by simply deodexing the ics leak. i hope a dev takes this on soon, it's driving me nuts.
I use badass battery monitor also. I even made a n add-on using eclipse battery icons. It is irritating to have an extra app, but I have grown fond of it now. I know I will always have 1%.
I can say, as someone who deodexes roms, until the OTA is released I do not plan on deodexing the leaks. Mostly due to the fact that leaks are not final, and there is a new leak quite often.
You could try sp_hicks09 KOA Rom. It works on any ICS Leak.
