I've tried searching with not too much luck...
I'm wanting to do the battery icon mod (percentage) on my phone. I have a LG MyTouch (E739). It is rooted, but still running the stock rom since there isn't anything available for this phone.
Everything that I'm able to find says that its specific for certain roms. Is a "universal" one available anywhere?
Check market, battery indicator pro... and done... it won't replace the battery, it will show another icon with battery.

I know about those ones. What I'm looking for is the percentage circle to replace the standard battery bar

Decompile and modify framework-res.apk with apktool or use the online uot kitchen.

Sounds complicated LOL.
Is there walkthroughs available for that?

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?

Yeah there was definitely less icons. I actually used win rar.. I'd prefer to have a battery that has increments of 10 percent with no % but idk what rom/or theme uses one like that..

take a look at these, if you like them dump them in your framework and gou'll be good to go.

Thanks, and how do I "drop it" in my framework-res.apk file? Is it like a zip file that you can unzip and rezip?
Does anyone know if its possible to get the circle battery mod (circle with percentage in the notification bar) on our GSIIs? Already missing that from my Captivate.
I'm not sure on the mod, I was hoping for the same kind of thing coming from my rooted captivate. However, if you download an app on the marketplace called "Battery Solo Widget," it allows you to have a widget on your desktop showing what you are looking for. That's what I'm using for now.

It's possible. You just need root and you can change it yourself (by modifying the framework-res apk and replacing the existing one with root explorer, or the like) if you have the icons (or with UOT - you'll need CWM for this method obviously).

You can also use battery circle app. That will give you the percent in the status bar.

SIMI clock is a good clock widget that also has a circle battery icon built in. it's also free.

Thanks. Downloaded it and am happy with Battery Circle. I wish I could use it to replace the crappy one that comes stock.
I used it before I did a custom ROM.

If you still have the apk file on your captivated, you can copy it over and it works great. It was 1 of the first things I installed.

I have been looking into this and some devastating who did cm7 for other devices like the incredible were able to make this possible. I saw a zip with 100% 75% and 50% transparent.
I really wish I was a Dec and could do this or I would. Is there anyone out there that can pull this together? I would be more than willing to test for you

It does all the heavy lifting for you. As long as you can use the find function in a text editor you should be fine. You'll only need to change one line, and it will tell you the line and what to change it to. Once you've done it it will give you two update.zips, one to do the mod one to undo it.

The cm7 themes with transparent statusbar rely on this patch. In other words, this patch wont make ALL themes transparent, but will enable the ones that support it to work properly. Otherwise they'll just "ghost".

that is what I thought. I still dont understand the page link you gave me. I thought it would be as easy as just following the instructions but it isn't
Yes, some themes for Cyanogen do have transparent status bar. Most of those themes, you have to pay for.

Hi there! I wanna ask about my green signal and green text carrier provider.
signal green not because my png green, my png has white color.
i've tried to change png color but it still green..
please anyone help me to change it..
here is my pic ,framework-res and SystemUI on attach
Bump..
please i need help :crying:
If you are trying to change system files I'm assuming you are rooted...
I've heard that Android UOT kitchen can do this though I've never used it myself but there is a forum for modding roms on this site. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=613
I myself have used an app called ROM Toolbox pro( I forget the price ). It allows you to change many things like signal color and style, battery style, etc. It's selection of mods differs from rom to rom, as does it's effectiveness but for me it works most of the time(on an Inspire with many different roms and a Flipside with cm7). It also comes with many other great tools. If your quick enough you can try to apply a mod, restart your device, and if it doesn't work get a refund.(I think its a fifteen min window) Of coarse make a nandroid
