Careful... 9.png files need to be decompiled first before you can modify them.
There not .9 pngs tho

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.
The image is just to show you the look, the images are in the zip file.

Yea i decompiled our values/public xml added a bunch of lines for the new battery images and cant get it to recompile lol. I love the touchwiz pulldown...maybe i should hit up dreams and see how hard it would be to make them for a non touchwiz phone lol. He buolt them for the nexus lol.
But yea i need to see if i can get the xml to recompile. Already edited the services.jar file to add the battery smali needed for the mod to work on the atrix. After that tried the xml editing and cant get it to recompile lol.

Guys, just so you know, i loaded this the new homebase rom with update, and it has the battery percentage as 1% thank god!!!
Making an attempt...
I'm still a noob so pardon me if i'm not really adding anything here. I'm going to try to make the mod. So far I've:
1) Downloaded apktool
2) Decompiled the framework-res.apk file
3) Went into stats_sys_battery.xml and added the lines for each percentage
...LOL that's where I'm at and this'll take a while...so sorry if I'm taking a long time with this...I also just saw that last post about having the 1% mod on the home based rom...****! LOL! Well, if anyone's interested, I'll still give it a shot...hopefully i don't brick my phone.
4) Went into UOT Kitchen and downloaded some battery icons (now i have all charging/status icons...I didn't want to make it myself)
5) Wondering if I replace stats_sys_battery.xml with my modded one, recompile, that it would work?
If you use minimalistic text, it shows battery level in increments of 1%
Any updates to this mod

What ROM do you need the mod for? If you're talking Joker's skinny ROMs, then you can flash those as they have the % mod. Also Rangerbry posted the % mod way back for BLUR Roms. If you're talking ICS. Not ready yet, though I had extracted the systemui.apk and decompiled it, made my xml edits. but apktool doesn't compile the unrecognized ICS yet, so right now, we're stuck.

You probably need to update your apktool. I believe ICS support was added back in December.

To see if its your environment or your edits, decompile and don't make any changes then recompile. Depending on the results you'll have your answer.

You have to open a copy of your framework-res and change out the icons you want ( make sure their the correct size and name)then close it back up and either push the apk or make a flashable zip to install it or you can go to uot kitchen and pick from the icons they have( for that you need a copy of your systemui.apk,framework-res.apk and com.HTC.resource.apk)
now the voices are customized in 3d
Thanks for your help... But can you provide me with a link please? I need to read about it lol
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
http://uot.dakra.lt/
battery (on sense 3.0+ roms) is in framework-res.apk
all the other icons are in SystemUi.apk
you can edit them with gimp photo editor
you can use 7zip to extract them out to edit, and 7zip to put them back into your apks.
Go to the theme intro link in my sig and read about it, feel free to ask questions too.
there are tons of ways, the simplest by far is the Universal Online Theme Kitchen, UNLESS you are aiming to simply use someone elses theme.

I dont know how to make a flashable zip but heres the system UI with the flat black tool bar in place.
Must be rooted-I did this on ODEX so im not sure if it really matters.
Just rename the original SystemUI.apk as SystemUI.apkbak
then copy the SystemUI.apk from this thread into the system/apps folder and fix permissions,then restart your phone.
I know this is minor and this is a dirty way to do this but like I said I dont know how to make a flashable zip.
Thanks. Hey try app2zip on the market. Free and makes flashable zips

You weren't suppose to flash this. It was meant to be pushed to your system folder. I would suggest wipe everything and start over

I know I said flash, but I meant pushed. I adb pushed to /system/app/ and chmod to 644. It worked. Then, I reverted back and that is when stuff went crazy. I think you are right though that I will have to wipe and start over. No worries. Thanks.
