Hi guys, I'm on CM11 and I want to replace the battery icons (the circle one) with custom ones, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Could anyone tell me where these are found? Thanks

in kitkat there is no drawable anymore for battery icon, but it's a java implementation, so it is not possible to just change some icons.
so you need a rom which supports the battery symbol change

no they can't. however there are some xposed modules which are able to change the symbol. currently i am not sure if they can really change the icon or simply add one, so you still have to switch somehow your "old" battery symbol off.

Without having to flash a whole theme.. anyway to just get battery percentage mod on CM7?
I use "battery notifier" its only 55kb in size and requires no permissions, it gives u a little battery icon in notifications and u have the option to place the percent on that little icon I dont think you will be able to mod the actual icon or do much to to the status bar without a flash

Yeah actually i have the same thing, but i hate wasting a spot in the notification bar when there's already a battery gauge available.

Doesn't seem like cm7 is supported for any of those. But I found a mod that works from the general android theme section.

Second theme down

I already removed the 'theme manager' and all that business. There really isn't any flashable zip like the bar battery floating around? I have it set to always show on my lock screen, but locking and unlocking to see my battery percentage is getting old.... :-/
I figured it would be included in cmparts, but it wasn't. Was there a reason for that?

Looks like it'll be showing up in nightly 5!
I don't care much for the themes so that's great.

Really? That's very interesting...it's such a simple improvement. Who wouldn't want to know their battery percentage over just a shaded battery icon? It's practically useless. I can't tell the difference between 50 percent and 30 percent...it looks the same! lol

I'm with you there. I'm not much of a 'theme' guy. If I want something changed, I'll change it..but I'm not one to change everything just so I can have the battery percentage. I had it on the stock mysense rom, so I'll just wait for it to show up in cm7. ....sigh.....one can only hope....
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).

Thanks, Simba. I'm afraid that's a little beyond the scope of my skill level

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'd like to be able to add some sort of battery percentage to my status bar that flows with the ICS theming (I have a Droid Pro running a CM9 port).
Does anyone have any advice?

In Uot kitchen you can change the battery icon to what you think goes with ics.

I've read that, but I'm not quite sure what I need to go to get it going. Can I just download a Cyanogen them and upload that APK? Is that all that's required?

No, for cm you have to upload a theme apk. So an example would be cyanbread. You would upload one of those themes.

Is there a way to get the stock Android lockscreen on the P769? I have tried renaming LGLockscreen3.apk but the new lockscreen it gives after renaming it has a white line on the bottom. I was thinking if maybe there was an apk that has the AOSP lockscreen so I can replace LGLockscreen.apk with it. I have tried Holo Locker but sometimes the phone unlocks to the LG Lockscreen.

For after market lock screens, like Go Locker, etc. You must disable the stock lock screen and also must allow and activate the after market lock screen app in System->Security->Phone Administrators

Thanks, but is there a way to get the stock Android lockscreen without aftermarket apps? If you don't understand what I mean by "Stock" I mean the lockscreen with a white lock and 3 shortcuts, Google Up, Camera Left, and Unlock Right. It's the one found in CM.

That's CM's lock screen. Should be available in any CM ROM. Stock is unchanged from the OEM.

Would it be possible to get the lockscreen.apk from a CM10 ROM and use it on a stock P769?
EDIT: I tried opening a CM ROM but there isn't a lockscreen APK. (I'm still learning about Android) However, when I rename the LGLockscreen3 APK, I get a CM-like lockscreen just that it has a grey bar on the bottom.

Thanks for sharing.
All you have to do is remove the lockscreen apk.
You made the system not find it by renaming it.
I believe I saw something about it inside the LGSettings.apk. However, I never knew how to enable it. :beer:

For some reason I can't see the images you attached, instead it's a broken file icon do you know what causes that? It only happens to me on XDA.
You could try editing build.prop
There is lglockscreen=true or something similar. Dont remember exactly. Just chang it.
From what I can tell the following are the files you've been looking for...
1) com.lge.lockscreen.apk
2) Lock Screen Settings.apk
As @kuma82 mentioned, there may also be something in SystemUI.apk as well.

Mine is 100% transparent. I've done a lot of editing. I'm not sure what exactly I changed. I'll see if I can fix it.
I've been doing some searching and I can't find where it's at

Update
I believe that lockscreen is found in the frameworks apk. I've checked everywhere else and I found some info in the frameworks.

@kuma82 is right. Original AOSP lock screen code is in /framework.jar and its resources are in framework-res.apk. To fix grey bar you need to look into those files. If you delete or rename Lockscreen3.apk, AOSP lockscreen will show up. But I don't think it's easy to fix that grey bar and you don't have option to customize that lock screen.

first, it would've been easier to say what rom are you using. i'm guessing it's some kind of kitkat custom rom. try going to settings, interface,status bar, battery status style and select hidden, now it should hide either 1 or both battery icons

I'm currently using the latest archi rom 2.3.6 which unfortunately doesn't seem to have these options but I had been using gravitybox xposed module to change the battery settings. Changed it to disable and now I have 1! Not sure how I would customise it now though but it is the battery format I usually use so it will do for now.
thanks for your help
