SGS Battery Icon Mod
(Update Fixed root checking r/w bug... Enlarged the font of percentage numbers in theme 1 - version 1 )
EDIT: Although I made this app as save as possible, **** can always happen. Of course, a nadroid backup is adviced as always But... there's another method to get you out of trouble, when you have booting problems. Look for it at the end of this post. (For this to work it is essential that you have turned on USB Debugging is the settings-application menu)
----
I decided to create a (Android) app to change the battery icon for the new Froyo versions (JPM and JP6). The app is based on the knowledge and work collected in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765419 (maintained by kalpik).
I have three versions to offer
a version with several themes to choose from (Only for JP6 Froyo Firmware). Current, there are only 3 themes but I will add themes in the future (have to create a client server construction first. 3 themes is the limit as far as the size of the app is concerned).
A version with just one theme for JP6 (added this because this one is "only" 7 Mb, while the first one is 22 Mb ).
And a version for JPM and JP6 with only one theme
** JP6 Version: 3 themes
Credits
First theme is by yours truly. Just the standard Froyo battery icon with a percentage in it (the battery status bar will jump with discontinuous steps of 20 - like the default froyo battery icon)
Second theme is by Fightspit
Third theme is by rom-g
Requirements
* JP6 Froyo version
* Root with r/w access (A SuperOneClick root will do because the app requires no busybox)
Installation
A) Dowload link (apk file, 22 Mb): http://www.4shared.com/file/tvTun0q9/SGS_Battery_Icon_Mod_-_Pro_2.html
(Two themed version: first two themes (apk file, 14mb): http://www.4shared.com/file/xXvZm6iD/SGS_Battery_Icon_Mod_-_Pro.html
B) A donation version of the most up to date version (€0.50) is available on the Android Market - Search for "Galaxy S Battery Icon Pro" or any creative combination of these words)
** JP6 version: 1 theme (C version from the battery mod repository thread)
Requirements
* JP6 Froyo version
* Root with r/w access (A SuperOneClick root will do because the app requires no busybox)
Installation
À) Get it from the Android Market - free (search for Galaxy S Battery Icon Mod - or any combination of these words), or
B) Download the attached SGS Battery Icon Mod.apk to your phone and click on it to install.
** JPM & JP6 version
Requirements
* JPM or JP6 Froyo version
* Root (A SuperOneClick root will do because the app requires no busybox)
* I tested only the JP6 version on my SGS i9000 so a bit of luck is also needed for the other version
Installation
Download the attached Battery_Mod.7z. Unzip the file and copy the unzipped apk file to your device. Click to install
A recovery procedure (from the battery mod repository thread)
A prerequisite is that you have USB Debugging turned on before you got into trouble. So if you read this before you are going to use the tool, now it's a good time to turn on USB Debugging under Settings->Applications
First download this file. That's the file (framework-res.apk) we are going to restore.
Then download this tool: http://www.mediafire.com/?wuzy9iss3k43v4h
Then follow these descriptions:
kalpik said:
Extract the tool.
Extract framework-res.apk from the downloaded file and copy it into the extracted tool dir.
Run Change Framework.bat
Accept the Superuser Permission prompt on the phone.
The script will reboot when it's done
Minor bug... You will need to set your wallpaper and google accounts again

great one!
I guess what it does is just to switch the framework file?
Great work! Thanks
jp6 version worked for me
Way cool!
Maybe you could have split the two versions (because of size), or better (?): let people download their desired mod and dump it in your application's map on the sd? This would reduce the size of your application drastically (and offer genormous flexibility). Just meant as a suggestion...
Is it possible to download this application on the sgs directly? (i.e. is there a "7z" decompression application on the sgs?)

Yep! Maybe I'll dump a bunch of framework files on a site somewhere so the app can download a framework-res file on the demand.

Yep thought of that also. I first wanted to see if such an app is needed and which battery mod version people prefer. If there are a lot of different preferences I maybe create a download-on-demand app. If there are just a few I'll split the app in several apps (don't like the idea to maintain those apps though )

Funny to talk to Dutch speaking people in English...
You could make it a "dumb" application where people do the downloading of the mod themselves, and if easily technically feasible somehow, check if the file matches the current firmware. The question then would be: is there something in the framework-res.apk itself to identify the firmware? If so, your application doesn't need too many updates.
edit: ah, there maybe could be some identifying thing, if you match it with the current one..
edit 2: since this is a battery mod application only you could check if the rest of the file remains the same as the current one. If some other mod is already present in the current framework-res.apk a user might not even want to apply it, so you could make this application really stern and static and (if necessary) add flexibility later on.

I have uploaded a new version only for JP6. This is an apk file that can be downloaded directly to a device.
In this version I check a build property and see if it contains the string "JP6"... If not the app will be closed. (I also assume that only Samsung Galaxy S devices have a build version that contains the string "JP6"... Maybe a bit too pragmatic)
Users can always revert to the old setting by clicking on Restore. It should be noticed that the settings that will be backed up (for informed users the framework-res.apk) are the settings before applying the battery icon modification.
BTW the framework-res.apk will be backed up to /sdcard (in case you have your own backup there.... please move it)
I'm not sure how this is easier than just downloading the zip and flashing through recovery, and if it's really worth the effort to maintain such an app! But if the people want it, they get it!
That's the power of open source

And.. with your method users have much more choices.. I only offer the C version
But I think that the direct downloadable apk version is easier. (No hassle of installing 2e recovery, uploading zip, going into recovery mode etc. etc.)
But to make sure: the credits go to you for preparing the res file(s)! I only "app-ed" it up.
I'm not sure if it's of any interest to you but I sat down last night and added colour to dani31's stock battery mod, I've attached the pngs below.
Sadly I don't posses the necessary black magic skills to put them into a flashable form

Great work mate
This is buggy as hell. I installed it on my JPM SGS, and it rebooted. But then it messed up some of the text, like the unlock screen says "Sending..." instead of "Sweep to unlock". I went to restore it, and now the app just closes because I "don't seem to have a Samsung Galaxy S with a JP6 FROYO version". I can't hit the restore button! Please fix.

Lol, why are you installing the JP6 version on a JPM version.... I've uploaded this app to the market, gave it the title "galaxy S battery mod", wrote in a description that it's only for the Samsung Galaxy S (several times) and I got comment that it crashes on a HTC EVO ...
But you're right there's something wrong with the test procedure. It doesn't run the first time but it does run the second and following times. Will certainly fix this. For now just copy the framework-res.apk file on your sdcard back to your /system/framework directory
I'm going to write a app to check how well one can read. I upload a app to the market that crashes the device and in the description i'm going to write don't download this app it will crash your device. To make it easy I'm going to give it the title Crashes your device - without exceptions. Let's see what the comments are LOL
Ah, didn't realize you made two different versions, my bad
Great, worked without problems on JP6 installed by KIES

Can you run it again, just to check if you pass the test ? Just fire it up. You don't have to change anything.
IT works like a charm on JP6 via KIES.
Thanks bro

I've never started a thread here, as I rarely have a unique idea - but this time I've decided to bite the bullet and share my experience.
It has been discussed on these forums about editing the APKs for non-stock apps in order to make the icon match the theme throughout the OS (as opposed to using Bettercut or similar to just change the homescreen icon). It has also been discussed elsewhere, but I can't find the link.
My problem was very similar, yet different, so I figured I'd play around and see what I could come up with.
I use the unbelievably sexy GlossSuite theme by Moonsspoon which uses this cool little icon in the notification bar to alert you to having a new SMS (and maybe MMS, not sure...).

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also use the app from the market called SMS Popup. If you dont know what it is, check it out - very handy. One of my favorite features of the app is that you can use it for your SMS notifications, and it allows you to set a custom vibe pattern and it will flash the LED the color of your choice - both very helpful to let you know that it's an SMS you're getting instead of a call or whatever...
You need to turn off the native SMS app's notifications when you use this feature of SMS Popup so that you dont get 2 alerts every time you get a message. The drawback to this, while using a theme like GlossSuite, is that the notification icon for messages that SMS Popup uses is the stock icon:
This is only a problem if you're OCD like myself.
I had already gotten the png icon extracted from the GlossSuite theme in hopes that I could just swap it out with the icon inside the SMS Popup apk (if I could find it, that is).
So I decided to crack open the APK for SMS Popup and see if I could find the icon used and what I could do to make it use the icon from the GlossSuite theme.
Inside the APK in the /res/drawable folder there are 2 images: The app's icon, and the icon used in the notification bar. And to make it even easier, the file name was exactly the same as the file used by the GlossSuite theme! Easy enough!
I used 7zip (WinRAR should work just fine too) to:
1. Open the APK
2. Navigate to the /res/drawable folder
3. Delete the stat_notify_sms.png
4. Drag and drop the png I extracted from the theme into it's spot
5. Delete the META-INF folder inside the SMS Popup APK
-- I got this info from the previously mentioned thread about swapping non-stock icons. It is so that when you resign the APK in the next step, the keys don't conflict with what the APK dev has used (or something like that - I admittedly don't know anything about keys and signing and all that jazz)
6. Close your archiving application.
I then used this auto-signing tool posted by "Dave Da illest 1" to resign the APK using the testkeys. It had to be edited slightly to sign APKs instead of ZIP files. If you want to download my edited version of the auto-signing tool, click here.
Uninstalled the previous version of the app, copied the APK over to my SDcard and then used AppManager to install the APK, and now:
(yes, I know there are typos...)
It works!
I'm sure most of your brainiacs here at XDA have figured this out on your own, but I couldnt find any solid information on it so I figured I'd share what little knowledge I had on the subject.
If you want to try this for yourself and want the icon from the GlossSuite theme, it is here.
And if you just happen to have GlossSuite installed and are using SMS Popup and would like my already edited version of the APK, click here.
[DISCLAIMER: If my sharing of this APK goes against any rules of the forum, please excuse my ignorance. If I find out this is the case, and a mod hasn't beat me to the punch, I'll gladly remove this link!]
So - with all that being said, I should clarify that I haven't done any theme creation (although I have edited a few pngs here and there, but nothing major), so obviously this bit of information is probably well below most of you... But if it can help anyone, then yay for my first real contribution to this community.
Awesome find. When I finally settle on a version I think I will sit down and do this for a few Apps. I havent heard anything on it before so as far as I'm concerned your the first!
|Spike|
i am trying to do something very similar- i am trying to install the file below as my status bar icon but when i use your autosign app (and the other auto sign app) i still get a "this cannot be installed on your device" or something similar....
did you have this issue ever?
After resigning with your tool did you then name it back to what is originally was or did you leave the name as to what the autosign converted it to?
fixed. apparently you need to uninstall the app first. wonder how this affects updates of it in the future?

Yeah thanks for pointing this out - I added the "remove old version" step to my information in the original post.
And since the process goes as such, as far as the Market is concerned, the app isn't even installed on the phone, so I would assume that you won't be notified of updates.
And, of course, if you manually notice an update in the Market and install the app from there, you won't have your changes in place... would have to go thru the process again I believe.
That's where aTrackDog comes into play.
Keep all your apps uptodate even if the market doesn't know.

2. Navigate to the /res/drawable folder
Am I supposed to open the APK on my phone or computer? I can't find this folder.

Its simply just replace the image with your own, resign, install and you're good to go. Heres an example of what you could do.
I made this months ago but didn't think it was anything special so i never said anything. Lighting bolt at the top is the triangle notification.

For non-stock apps, you can use a free app called AppManager to copy non-protected apps to your SD card.
Or, you can just use the terminal emulator
cd data/app
ls
[shows a list of all non-protected apps installed]
cp [filename.apk] /sdcard/[backup folder of your choice]
This same method can be used for protected apps if you can find the correct folder... But I won't provide that info, because I'm sure that's against the rules of these forums.

Congrats. Like I said, this isn't rocket science. But for a n00b like me (and apparently others) this was good information that I'm glad I posted.
so how do edit the files in update.zip without getting an error?
Hi all,
First off this is my first theme so please, please go easy on me This was initially just made for myself however I thought that after ‘taking’ lots of info from you guys here I would like pass back my new found knowledge.
Most importantly I need to say my thanks.
The base theme comes from tehseano and moonsspoon production (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520629) So mostly all credit go to them.
Now it is most crucial that I thanks my teachers or those who have pointed me in the right direction. So in no particular order thanks to the following (hope I have not forgot anybody)
RichieDaze/Stericson/Ohsaka/Mianosm/beagz/brandenk/kizer/alritewhadeva and so many more.
So on with the Theme…
What’s included?
- 5 Home Screens
- Auto Rotate on Home Screen
- Hero Transition/Animation Effects
- Hero Analog Clock (customised)
- Hero Title Bar
- Hero Music App + Widget
- HTC Camera (with Zoom) & Gallery
- Built in Host File to Block Unwanted Mobile Ads (thanks to Adfree on the Market)
- Hero Style LockScreen
- Edited Icons
- Built in and Customised Widgets (thanks to CurveFish)
- Many, Many Image Edits
- Much, Much More.
Supported Roms
This is designed and only tested to work with the following Roms,
- JF v1.51 CRB43 ADP1.5 which can be located here: http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/05/24/jfv151-images-are-out/
I do however believe this may work on other ROMs but you will have to test these on your own.
How To Install
- Wipe and install the above Rom so you have a clean slate (Not needed but highly recommended)
- Remove any icons on the 2nd (middle) and 3rd (currently right) screens.
- Uninstall Google Maps if you have the updated version available on the market.
- Flash the update.zip from the downloadable link
- Allow the phone to boot. This may take over five minutes on the first boot.
Removing the previous JF APK’s
Now we need to remove the JF APK’s that are no long needed.
- Run Terminal after the theme has been applied.
- Type the following,
Line 1: SU (hit enter)
Line 2: Mount –o rw,remount –t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system (hit enter)
Line 3:rm –r /system/app/********
Please replace the *’s from above with the name of the APK for example,
- Music.apk
- Maps.apk
- VoiceDialer.apk
- Anything else your after .APK
Where Can I Get This Theme?
Download the .zip file from one of the below links and rename to update.zip and flash.

FAQ Provided by tehseano and moonsspoon
1.) You do such great work, like, omg! How can I help?
Well since you can't email prostitutes, any donations would help greatly. There's a link in my signature if you'd like to donate. If you can't do that, then download the file below from Rapidshare.com. Make sure to download it as a free user (if you have a premium account). This will at least help me continue my Premium account. There's nothing special about it, just a 10mb picture, and it doesn't cost you a dime
LINK: http://rapidshare.com/files/252048497/donate.zip
2.) Will you support other ROM's like Cyanogen's, or TheDude's?
I will not port my theme to any other ROM until it is finished. I don't want to have to make updates for 7 different builds, and continuously update each one. So once the theme is finished, I will begin porting it to other ROM's, for the mean time please stop asking when I will port it to xx ROM. Other users have begun porting my theme, use the search function and I'm sure you'll find support for another ROM.
3.) Can you port over the xxxx app from Hero?
We're lucky that the apps that have been ported over worked. Most of the apps from Hero require certain libraries from the Hero build environment, and won't work on any build BUT Hero. If any get ported over, you will see them here.
4.) I flashed the theme, but now all I can see is the status bar, everything else is black!
As mentioned in the installation instructions, you need to clear the 2nd and 3rd screens on your desktop of any icons. The new Hero clock takes up more space, and if the space it needs is already taken, you will get a black screen like so.
5.) I have two music apps, did something go wrong?
On the contrary, the new HTC Music app does not overwrite the standard Music app. The Music app with the updated icon is the HTC Music app. You can remove the old one via ADB by doing the following:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/app/Music.apk
6.) I'm running Cyanogen's x.x.x build and it removed xxxxx feature!!
As I mentioned, I am ONLY supporting JF Builds at the moment. There are features I would like to incorporate, but they take time. So please be patient, and allow me to work on fixing the problems. Many users take it upon themselves to make temporary fixes for the problem, so read up on the issue before replying about it.
7.) My camera is in black and white, WTF!!!
It's just a setting issue from the previous Camera app. Simply hit Menu > Reset to Defaults, and you should be right as rain.
8.) When in landscape mode, the lockscreen looks funny!
Meh, yeah. I didn't even know the lockscreen worked in landscape mode, so I was surprised anyone noticed it either. I don't have any plans on fixing it really, it looks sick in portrait mode, and thats where you see it 99% of the time. MAYBE, I'll fix it later? But don't expect it anytime soon, sorry.
9.) When I turn the orientation setting off, my home screen still rotates. WHAT THE FRONT DOOR!!!
Yeah I know, it's being worked on. In the mean time, don't try and look at your phone sideways!

im not sure if you missed it but in the FAQ portion of the op, he says he wont be doing any ports. im runnin CM as well but i doubt this will work properly on 3.6.7.2 because of the added features to the rom that even themes for the older CM roms wont work on the new build. none the less good looking theme. any screen shots of the "Hero Music App + Widget"
is this the actual hero widget or just the app and upgrade look on the stock widget? cause the hero music widget looks dope.
The icons are blue when the HTC Hero icons are green
I kind of like the blue...maybe darken it a little...but that glow looks nice to me.
Looks GREAT... keep up the good work.
I'm still trying to mod the US cupcake to have the ADP versions features, like 5 home screens and a customizable lock screen.
Since most of the modified roms are based ADP, it's a good challenge though. Maybe someones with higher knowledge can help me one day.
But, you blew right passed me...
i followed directions, any help?
So I cleared all icons and unitstalled maps, did a wipe and flash, and screen is still black, what are my options, thanks

Ok what you need to do is boot in a plain JF build, clear the home screens icons and widgets, and then apply this theme.
I did not get this to work on JFv1.51_CRB43-US at all. Just wiped and installed JFv1.50_ADP1.5 and its worked, currently at the bootscreen.
But with the other build I tried the 1.51 it unzipped and verified the packed, said it installed and everything said the update was complete but it didn't work at all.
Maybe its because I'm using Cyans recovery image.
But still.
I think I will like this theme.
But I believe I will much rather use it on cyans build.
Haven't tested it out yet but I'm hoping auto rotate can be enabled.
Booted up, hello android dev phone with a baby blue android!

About ICTU
I C Thru U is a tool for WM6.5.x and Manila2D version 2.0 and lower (not Manila3D - version 2.1-2.5) that automatically crops sections from your wallpaper and sets them as the backgrounds to your taskbar and softkey bars so they appear "transparent". Of course this isn't real transparency but it's the next best thing. It can also do some other tricks like scaling large images to fit, removing the background from the softkey buttons, making all Manila elements on the home tab transparent, etc.
ICTU works with W|QVGA and W|VGA resolutions. Install to your device and run via the "I C Thru U" shortcut. When clicked, you will be asked to select from a menu of options - Backup, Restore, Current Wallpaper and New Wallpaper. I advise you to make a backup before continuing.
Clicking "Current Wallpaper" or "New Wallpaper" will take you to the main selection screen where you can choose which parts to make transparent. Take a look at the screenshot above - it's arranged so you simply click the button for the transparency you want to apply, e.g. the first button makes the start menu transparent, the second makes the taskbar transparent, and so on. If you clicked "New Wallpaper" it will first let you choose a new image then apply the transparency you have selected.
Please note: Because this new version uses a more complex method of resizing and cropping, some operations will take longer than they did in the older version. Sometimes it may appear like nothing is happening, but please do wait for the app to finish. You will be prompted to restart when done, or Manila will auto-refresh.
Have fun! To return to your previous settings either restore your backup or re-select your themes in Settings>Home as well as in M2DC.
Updates:
07.06 - 1.0 Final - Fixed a small error in the backup script, fairly confident everything is running smoothly now. Also included scripts to remove any left-over files and registry entries after uninstalling.
07.06 - 1.0RC - Lots of improvements, stability and added features. Now the app lets you scale/crop large images to fit, automatically syncs the Manila and Today wallpapers, allows for the removal of all Manila backgrounds on the home tab, transparent start menu background, no need to restart after making changes to Manila, etc. Please test.
01.06 - 1.0b5 - After many attempts, the app with gui should new be working.
01.06 - 1.0b4 - Hopefully this will have fixed the startup bug introduced in v1.0b3, please test.
(removed) 31.05 - 1.0b3 - There was a problem with applying transparency twice in succession - that should now be fixed.
Sorry guys, had to remove the previous 1.0 betas, they weren't working on some devices. Will try and solve the problem. In the meantime, try an earlier version.
(removed) 31.05 - 1.0b2 - Please download the new beta - I think it will have fixed the "include" error. Also, the app can now be installed to your memory card and you don't have to have Mortscript installed!! Thanks magawa.
(removed) 31.05 - 1.0b1 - MAJOR UPDATE: The app now has a GUI of sorts.
30.05 - 0.9 and earlier - Test builds
For the resizing and conversion this script uses ImgResize.exe by Andrew Coates, the interface uses cimg.exe by Cyclonezephyrxz7 and JMLMenu by JMHL/MichelDiamond. Thanks guys!
Known Issues:
1. There is a known issue with resizing certain images. Sometimes the app reports an Out of Memory Error - this is caused when the image is too big, or there is some other internal error. This occurs only with certain images and I am trying to solve it.
2. The piece of wallpaper for the top bar is actually a duplication of the part just below it, so it will appear like the wallpaper is repeated at the top - this is a limitation of WinMo I'm afraid (well, at least it is in 6.5.3), because the wallpaper actually only starts 18/36 pixels from the top of the screen. Hope that makes sense.
3. Sometimes the Manila slider and button don't look so good when transparent, because without the button you can see through to the icon below - this isn't always a problem but sometimes it doesn't look good. Solve this by leaving the slider and button untouched, or only make the slider transparent. Play around and see what works for you.
4. If you have an issue with your start menu going screwy (this sometimes happens after changing themes in Settings > Home) try re-selecting your wallpaper in ICTU.
5. This was tested on an Omnia using WM 6.5.3 - things may work differently for other builds and resolutions. I take no responsibility for damage to your unit.
Planned:
- Save layout as a single skin file so you can have multiple saves, and you can share skins with others!
- Multiple backup/restore slots

thanks.

Great that it's working on your device.
Regarding the todaypage issue, I did try to overwrite hh_fw_background.png using Mortscript but it's completely locked (even with attribs set to FALSE). If you know of a way to unlock it then I'd love to know.
The answer is to set your Manila wallpaper to "\Windows\stwater_yourwidth_yourheight.png" - unless there's some other way to set it automatically and refresh Manila...
Please find attached the icons!

* It is adviced to do a nandroid backup. (My opinion: if you root your device always do a nandroid backup of your system files )
* If you didn't make a nandroid backup and you had *USB Debugging* turned on, try the method described at the end of this post if you are running into troubles.
Recovery Procedure
In case you didn't make a nandroid backup and you can't reboot your device because you applied a mod for a wrong version, here's a simple way out: (Thanks to boisrobe!)
Open SuperOneClick and choose "Shell Root"
Start ADB, wait for the # prompt and enter the following commands:
#busybox mount -o remount,rw /system (or mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system ... if there's no busybox)
#rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#chown root.root /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
#reboot

There is certainly no need for reflash after bad framework-res.apk copy.
What an user needs to do is to backup original file and then use ULK kernel's feature -> Modified CWM. U can adb push the old file to system/framework from there. (just first solution which crossed my mind)

GREAT! When the user runs the app for the first time, a backup of the original framework-res.apk is made in the root of the sdcard.
Note for users who are currently running a mod. Restore the original file before you are going to run this version. (Or get a original framework-res.apk for your rom in kalpik's thread)
If there is a backup on the root of the sdcard and u have ULK kernel installed, and user has a ADB connection available:
- boot into CWM recovery,
- select "mounts and storage",
- select "mount /mnt/sdcard",
- connect the USB cable,
- open adb shell connection
- type "cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk" (the second argument is backup file)
- reboot, should be fixed.
At the moment the app replaces the current framework-res.apk?
What about opening the .apk and just replace the few icons you want to change, so you will be able to combine many mods. Would be awesome.

Yep, I agree. But on the other hand, there's so much work done already on this by modders, that I don't see the point of reinventing the wheel. I think it's better this way. Modders can work independently and if they wish they can make their modded framework-res.apk available for this app in a fairly easy way.
It's a more pragmatic.
BTW one can make all kinds of modded framework-res.apk's available this way.
Feedback
I see that there are many downloads yet, but I don't see any reports. May I infer from this that the app is working without any problems? Or are you guys still figuring out how to get your device working again

Thanks for testing!! I couldn't test the app myself all the way, because, like I said, I've sold my SGS. Although I really did like this phone, I had a unexplainable urge to go for the newest, hottest kid on the block, the Desire HD.
I based the code on the other app I made and that was tested to run without any problems, but yeah, you never know. I guess I can reduce all the warning signs in the first post a bit then

It's the battery icon of the Desire HD. The battery color fits with the other colors used by the DHD (selection color, color of for example checkboxes etc.) I don't know if it matches also with the blue theme of the Galaxy S. Anyway I can extract the battery icons and post them here. Maybe others can mod them for the SGS.
Great Work

The colors don't fit well on SGS' original theme, but there's a lot of people using moded ROM's with grey themes. Also, most of the battery mods available look like a rainbow, to many colors.
I was looking around on the Desire forums and noticed that those icons are from the original ROM, and I remembered sawing a grey version of that.

Great app, nice work.
Any chance we can see some more battery mods for JPO? Ta.
First off I need to give credit where credit is due. Fisha21 blazed the trail with the first themed Uruk framework and did the hardwork of figuring out the steps to make it happen. Secondly, the themed pieces in this framework came mostly from JRummy16's blueberry LithiumMod so I claim absolutely no credit for that. There are other pieces picked up here and there, but I apologize for not knowing where they all came from.
This is mostly a complete work, but there is always room for improvement so I don't want to call it a 1.0. See the screenshots below for a small sample of what has been done, but there are many other tweaked images (something like 200-ish).
This is my first release to the public - normally I'd tweak things for my own personal use and never spread it around, but since there isn't a huge theme library for the Archos I thought I'd share for anybody that's interested. Constructive criticism is appreciated; if you find something that needs fixing please let me know and I can adjust it. I in no way think this work is perfect, but it's not too shabby in my opinion.

This will work on Uruk running off the SD or from the internal storage. Follow Fisha21's install steps:
"How to install
Needless to say, only attempt this if you are comfortable modifying system files. As we are using the SDE for this, the potential risk of bricking/ irreversible damage is low, but you should still have some idea what you're doing!
Just to clarify, I am using this on an UrukDroid 0.5 rooted Archos 101. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work on any previous UrukDroid version, or other device sizes, but I haven't tested on any other configuration.
I know there are other (semi-permanent) root methods out there, and I know some people have UrukDroid running from their internal SD. I don't know how/if this will work with those setups, and I can't offer any advice/help for anyone wanting to try it in those setups. PROCEED CAREFULLY if you decide to try!
There are probably lots of other (neater) ways of doing this but this is the way I've found to work consistently for me.
All file manipulation on the device was done with Root Explorer.
1. Unzip the attached [bluep0rkframework-res.zip] to your SD card (the largest partition). Can be done directly on device, or over USB.
2. Find your original framework-res.apk (/system/framework) and back it up. I stored the backup in /system/framework.old, but its up to you - keep it safe! I would suggest keeping a copy on your computer also - you'll see why later!
3. Navigate to where you saved the new framework-res.apk, and change permissions to those shown in the screenshot below. I used the Root Explorer context menu, but those who prefer terminal commands, thats chmod 644.
4. Now MOVE (not copy) that .apk into the /system/framework folder. It will ask if you want to replace the existing file, just hit ok.
[p0rk burn: I'm not sure if my files will change color like Fisha's, but once you move it into the folder it should sit there for a while in RootExplorer - you will be able to scroll up and down but using the home key or any other buttons will not do anything - that means the new framework is loading, The rest of the setup should be like Fisha21 described: the screen will go black after a few minutes and sit for a little bit, before the homescreen loads back up.]
Now reboot the system.
The black screen after the UrukDroid screen may last a minute longer than normal, but just be patient. When it all comes back, you should see your new notification icons!
Once again, only do this if you are comfortable with editing system files. Though the risk of bricking is low, I can't offer any help if you do manage to kill your Archos!"

I had problems installing my own framework after updating to Uruk 0.6, which is also based in part on 2.1.04. Not sure if there was some change in the other contents of framework-res in the newer firmwares, but when I installed mine, I got into this loop where the soft buttons would appear on a black screen for a few seconds, disappear then reappear again. Is that what you experienced? I fixed mine by repacking my custom icons into a new framework-res extracted from the newest firmware.
Would you try installing my latest version from the theme forum, and see if that will work on your setup? I have also found a (hopefully) easier method, but it does require ADB.
Just to be clear, I'm not trying to hijack p0rn burn's thread or encourage people to use my framework over his. It would just be interesting to see if changing the base framework-res did make a difference, or if I unknowingly did something else to fix things. I have PM'd p0rk burn about my findings as well, so hopefully we can get both versions working!
The more help the better. Ill try to get a new framework up on monday for the new fw. Im on uruk .6 now so i need it too.
As promised, I have uploaded the blue themed framework for Uruk .6. It is attached to the first post for those of you that are interested. Please make sure you use the proper one, otherwise you will have to fix it before being able to boot back into Uruk.
This one has the modified progress_horizontal.xml so the volume bar and other progress indicators are properly themed.
If I feel motivated (or think people would actually care) I'll see about tweaking this a bit more and/or doing some more ports.

I'll try the widgets on my end but I haven't had any of those issues. My guess is it has to do with the zImage because I don't think changing out .pngs would cause those issues, but definitely something worth looking at.
Thanks for the feedback.

you know, the blue market hack would fit perfectly to your theme ;-)
I know, I thought about throwing it in when I first started this but wanted to get a proof of concept first and then sort of forgot about it. With all the problems people have had with market installs on Uruk I was a little afraid to mess with it.
I'll see what I can do though.

hehe, i have the blue market (vs 2.3.3 from the xda thread) on the archos 101 now
i like the blue and its working
gonna see if it the blue and transparent market works too
Once again Fisha21 came through for the scene. If you want the blue market follow these steps. Should work with the other 2.3.3 markets, but I can't vouch for it personally. On the other hand, if you reached this point in tweaking your Archos fixing a botched vending mod probably doesn't scare you.

I just use Root Explorer to drop the modified Vending.apk into the /system/app folder (extract the apk from the zip installer file)
Can also confirm the blue neon/black market works well - and looks awesome! (A101, Uruk 0.7)
Got the modded market here:

i shrinked your originally 9MB framework-res.apk by simply making all included archos-backgrounds unicolor (mostly about 250k -> 4k).
and making 2 times default wallpaper unicolor. (blue)
now its 6MB. i dont get why archos did this black pattern backgrounds anyway.
p0rk burn I'v been trying to mod the framework-res.apk myself. but just out of curiosity what tools do you use and how do do the modifications.

would you be able to upload those modified wallpapers? wouldn't mind reducing the size of my own apk, seems a shame to duplicate your work!

no, not misleading - I understood! Just got so many other pngs to edit, thought I'd benefit from your efforts on reducing the wallpaper file size.
Your files are already sitting in my framework version! Thanks
