[Q] Has anybody able to mod the battery icons in KitKat? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if there's even any who had already managed to mod the battery icons in stock KitKat ROMs?
The battery icon images are not there anymore in SystemUI and the stat_sys_battery/battery_charge xmls aren't there either. Could be hard-coded already or something, I got no clue LoL
Missing those fancy icons already

In KitKat 4.4, battery icons are drawn by program in SystemUI.apk, rather than image icons. You can still find battery icons and two xml files in framework-res.apk. However, they are not working for status bar.
Until now, I have not seen any report showing changing color of battery icons. This is also my interest.

Settings.apk/res/drawable-hdpi
you sir are awsome, thank you.
Something a little close to what the first post was talking about. In the settings.apk I have one that was themed and what to use a few of the pngs in other settings.apk sinse I reflashed with a new rom. I've already push a few back that I changed. The png i what to use is a 4G stat data connected, but the color needs be changed to cyanogen and a little transparent for CM6. What program besides PS4 can I use to do it
Thanks
I know you can use photoshop. Those are greyscale.go to image>mode>rgb, then you can make color. For transparent, use eraser too to delete the background. (Its how I did my stuff)

[Q] Having some trouble putting a theme on WB TW V8

I'm trying to put the frost theme from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14622659&postcount=4
The problem is that the battery is always stuck at 100 percent on the status bar. In fact all the themes with a circular battery in that post don't seem to work except for the 4.5 circular battery mod.Matted Blues also has a problem were the battery percentage wont show up in the status bar when you turn it on in CM settings.
Looking at the xmls in root explorer, the battery updates only on certain percentages while in the 4.5 circular mod it updates every percent. Does anyone know how to fix this. I tried myself but the xmls only appear as gibberish on my computer, like if they were corrupt. Using the xmls of 4.5 Circular mod on the Frost theme didn't work either.
Ima keep trying but if anyone else can help that would be great.

CM10.1 Theme with white status bar icons as only change

Can anyone point me in the direction of a CM10.1 or AOKP theme where the only thing that changes from stock is that the status bar icons, specifically signal, battery and wifi are white instead of Holo blue? Either that or a theme that replaces the status bar with MIUI bar icons but maintains the rest of the UI would be great as well. I tried one called HoloWhite, as well as a couple other minimalistic ones, but with those some of the icon styles changed.

Looking for exactly the same thing... Did you guys find anything
I would also like this. Still haven't found anything.......
@rosswhite @oae08 @krackerjac @bcparker
This works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318311
Also flash the Paranoid android icon zip (page4) if you have trouble with default icons of your rom.
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918500
also wondering if anyone has found this. dont want to deal with Xposed or anything like that either....and would prefer to have it in a theme chooser app as I switch ROM's from time to time. If anyone has a stock theme .apk i could modify it, but i just can't find one. the CM10.2 template is completely different from stock.
sorry to bring this back from the dead.
I'm looking for that white icon them too...

[Q] Transparent statusbar home- and lockscreen

Since we'll most likely won't get KitKat on our device, I decided to edit the statusbar on the stock, deodexed, ICS rom that I use as a daily driver. A transparent statusbar, custom battery icons, a KitKat wallpaper and Nova launcher would be good enough for me.
So I followed this guide and succeeded in making the statusbar 100% transparent. Problem is that it also remaines transparent when the statusbar is pulled down and in certain apps. For example in Gmail the bar turns white so the icons in the statusbar can't be seen. In Maps it remains transparent so you'll see your icons twice and a bit overlapping.
When using apktool, does anyone know which lines need to be edited in what app to only make the statusbar transparent in home- and lockscreen?
Thanks in advance!
Xposed
Use Xposed framework and Xblast tools...why are you going hard way when there is easy one

Thanks for the tip, already tried achieving it with Xposed and Xblast but it doesn't seem to work. Most likely because I'm still in ICS. I know I know I should upgrade etc but I just like ICS better
Will dive into the SystemUI, Rosie and framework-res apk's a bit more to see if I can find how the statusbar background is set and with what actions.
Please do something like that .... I would love to try that on my DX
