First off, credit to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435484) which inspired the idea.
Took a while but i have all 6 images replaced. 4 in contacts and 2 in phone.
The colors based on the top image are:
Dark ICS Blue, ICS Blue (exact), Stock Android Green.
all versions come in each variant. with a total of 39 images to choose from.
Version 2.0 has versions that don't get cropped off by the OS in the phone and contacts display. see images below. if you download version 2 you still need to download the original if you want to use the metamorph.
There is a metamorph in the download as well as all of the images i've made. you can mix and match and take your pick of which ones you want.
INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS:
The metamorph by default uses the stock green android.
if you want another one, match up the image in the folder to the image in the morph.
YOU MUST BACKUP YOUR PHONE FIRST. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.
YOU MUST RENAME THE IMAGE TO THE CORRECT NAME.
YOU MUST USE THE CORRECT IMAGE FOR THE CORRECT FILE.
DO NOT USE APPLY ALL. YOU WILL LOSE THE APPS. YOU MUST APPLY EACH INDIVIDUALLY!
If you try to morph both and you get an error with the phone, reboot and just do the phone. YOUR PHONE MAY REBOOT ON IT'S OWN. That is okay, it should boot up just fine with the replaced images now there.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. I WILL NOT HELP YOU IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE. IF YOU READ PROPERLY THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY ISSUES.
If your afraid to use metamorph, or don't trust mine, and i won't blame you there, you should be able to use a root browser to make the changes.
Also, DO NOT UPLOAD THIS ANYWHERE ELSE. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY PERMISSION TO EDIT OR REDISTRIBUTE THESE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
BUGS/ISSUES
If you haven't noticed, in the actual contact page, ICS takes a square image and just crops the middle. because of this the top and bottom of the image are cut off so you lose most of andy. Honestly, this is annoying enough as it is since i have 3 friends who's heads get cutoff because of this. I may go back and edit those images to have it so andy is lower and you can actually see his head. or better yet, maybe google will change the cropping stupidity of the new contacts app.

Version 2.0 Images:

Looks good thanks!

Very nice

Thanks a lot for this!

your very welcome. I will be releasing a 2.0 version that will slim down the android for the call screen and the contact screen so you can actually see them better without as much being cut off. just going to take some trial and error until i get them just right.

I think I shall be using this mod once you do that. It'll look great!

Hmm, I seem to have broken both my People and Phone apps using the Metamorph. Maybe I am doing something wrong? I'm not terribly comfortable with Metamorph but I thought I had it right. Nandroid time...

make sure you reboot. They will both disappear after doing the morph, but after a reboot they should show up just fine.

Rebooted twice to make sure, it just wasn't working for me for some reason. I tried Metamorph one other time and it didn't work that time either, probably just me doing something wrong.

probably a dumb suggestion, but make sure you have root as well as superuser and busybox installed. only other things i can think of. And make sure your renaming them correctly.
if that doesn't work, then you should be able to use a root explorer.
*edit* i just morphed mine with the new images and lost both apps just like you. even though i'd done it twice before with no issues. so i'm going to assume this is a metamorph issue
*edit2* try doing just one at a time. just contacts and then just phone. i've tested a few times, and it only seems to break the apps if you do apply all.
------
Update on version 2.0. i'm 99% sure that i have them just right. used screenshots from the phone to rework the sizes. gonna test them on my phone now and if they're all good i'll finish up them all and upload them.
this version won't have a metamorph, it'll just be the images so you'll still need the original and then same as before, mix, match, rename.

I actually just put them together myself with APK multi-tool.. turns out that is a lot easier than I had previously thought. The images look great though, a big difference from those lame face things Google decided to use.
If you would like, I can push the old .apk's back and try Metamorph again doing it one by one? I did use the "apply all" function, which looks to be the culprit here.

if you got it to work with that then i'd say just keep it. in my tests it seems to be guaranteed that it's the apply all. since i've now done that twice, and both times lost the apps, but if i do them individually they've worked 4/4 now.
might go check out this apk mulit-tool for myself.

Weird, I wonder why applying them both at the same time breaks it.

all i can think of is that i screwed up the XML file so it can't do apply all, or theres an ICS issue with metamorph.
thanks for the link!

You can make this thread like the softkeys thread?...different styles for us to choose..it will be much easier and clearer like that..
just a suggestion you know

if i had the time i would but theres like 30 different combinations, and even more now that V2 is almost done.
it's not hard at all to simply pick your files and rename them, so i'll be leaving it as is for now.
speaking of Version2. i have one last test to make sure the conference picture looks good and then i'll be packaging and uploading.

i had a quick question/thought. okay so the original image is 360x360, but our display width is 720. this means that the images are being scaled, right? in other words, would using a higher res one be better?
i'm going to use the Android welcome guy from the setup as mine, and it has a res of 456x430. this means i could increase height (just add gray space) to 456. so 456x456 isn't much higher, but higher than 360. theoretically this would work, right?

yeah it's being scaled from 360x360 to almost 800x800 since it crops the outside. This is why i chose to go with the solid color versions since they'll still lose quality, but look decent, verses a real picture.
now as for your idea it's possible, in the past i've tried using larger images in the past and have caused apps to disappear, boot loops, or sometimes tons of force closes. maybe 2-3 times it worked.
For now, i've finished 2.0 so i'll be done with this, but if you can somehow get a larger one to work without issues, then maybe i'll go back and redo this. just make sure you do a backup otherwise you may be in for a really bad day.
-------
version 2.0 is finished. no more cropping. as i've said, you still need to download the original file for the metamorph, or if you want to use apktool, root explorer or something else, then just download the second file.

thanks for the quick response mate. also, good thinking regarding the backup. this is something i never do so i'll be sure to have a flashable ready to go should it bootloop on me. this will be something i tinker with when i get home so i'll report back on this as to whether using something higher res would/wouldn't work.

no problem. anytime you mess with metamorph make a backup. over the last two years on my nexus one i probably had over 50 issues with metamorph where if it wasn't for nandroid i'd have to wipe the phone and start over from scratch. it's a great program, but you make one little mistake with system apps and it brings big trouble.
looking forward to hearing your results. Now that i'm done with 2.0 i wish i could say i could take a break, but now onto homework.
--------
Version 2.0 released. 3 new screenshots showing the uncropped versions and a new download. As i've said, if you want to metamorph download both and then use the images from the second file. Make sure you do a backup, i'm not responsible for any damage or loss of data if you use metamorph and something goes wrong.
And don't forget to reboot.

[Q] UnNamed ROM tweaks and help sought....

Hi everyone, my name's Chris. I'll be honest, I've been terrified to create an account on this site because there are some horribly impatient individuals here that seem to have zero patience for individuals (like me) who don't spend their waking minutes developing software or hacking. The SGSIIE4GT is the first killer smartphone I've owned, but my efforts on Android Central for answers to my questions go unresolved. So I've bit the bullet, and hoping people on here can help me out. I'm a self-confessed noob, but I'm learning the ropes quickly. Please be kind.
I'm running the UnNamed Rom 2.0.1 and have done my own custom theming using Launcher Pro and stuff. However, there's two things on the ROM that I'd really like to customize/tweak, but can't quite seem to find the answers. I wanted to post this under the actual ROM thread in Development, but XDA said I can't because I'm new. I searched and searched other posts, but can't find my answers.
#1: Is there a tweak or setting or file I can change/add/remove so that I can get rid of the clock display in the status bar? I use SiMi clock on my home and lockscreens, but would like to minimize the crap on the top bar if possible by removing the time display.
#2: The battery icon in the ROM has a % remaining built in, but I'd like to make it white instead of green. I've searched ROM Toolbox (I bought the paid version), but I can't find a 1% icon I like. So (a) is there a way to get more 1% battery options into ROM Toolbox to choose from, or (b) an area where I manually download a 1% battery (apk?) and replace the one in the ROM?
I hope that makes sense. This site is so enormous, I did my best to search for answers prior to posting, but haven't found solutions yet. Can anyone help me or point me to the answers. I appreciate any time and help you're willing to offer me!!

Glad you made it! Check out the app Super Status Bar from the market. It may give you an easy way to handle the clock until you get deep enough in to modify the necessary files to hide it in the stock bar.
I just downloaded it to test and seems to work. The only bad thing is that it also replaces the toggles in the AIO mod already in UnNamed. Looks like it has its own built in. I didn't get too far into it, but may be worth a look.

Oooo, yeah, I had checked that out a couple days ago. That's one of the posts I was able to find somewhere, but altering those toggle switches is a no-go for me. I love having fast access to the flashlight, brightness, airplane, sync, etc. I was guessing maybe there's a system file on the phone that is just the status bar clock and I can delete it.

There is a thread in the app and themes section just for this ROM. Maybe those guys can help you out with the battery...I know there is an AIO Mod that allows you to remove the clock I believe but not sure how stable that mod is on this ROM. They should be able to help you better over there.
Ignore the nasty replies if any and even then, someone will come along and help you.
I have been here for 5 years and I still get nasty replies from some people. It just makes them feel better. You just need to learn how to ignore and move on although 5 years later it still pisses me off! lol

Posted something for you in the UnNamed theme thread. The guys over there are doing some good work on customizing some stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if someone can help out. Good luck!

I appreciate the insight . I always try to keep my cool and help people out if I know something they don't, but going through some of the threads on here about this phone is very intimidating. I definitely would have posted my questions in the actual ROM thread, but because I'm new, XDA didn't let me post it there, so I figured the next best place was general Q&A. But thanks for the suggestion!!! Seriously, thank you for at least being nice and not trying to put me down since I'm a bit of a noob. Thanks!!

You won't hear any pressure from me to make it work, as I'm sure this is something that many UnNamed runners would love to have control over. But that tweak port looks very awesome, and is exactly what I'd be looking for. Thanks for the follow-up. You are very active with the UnNamed ROM threads, and I think I speak for everyone when I say how much we all appreciate the continued support. You da man!!!!

Just curious - if I find a set of 1% battery icons I really like (or heck, even make my own using MS Paint and saving as a png file), can I put them onto the phone somehow so they can replace the stock green UnNamed battery icons with the %s? Full sets of 1% icons (100+ pictures) are hard to find. Does anyone know of a site that I can sift and filter through to find ones I like? I can't be the only person wanting a great set of 1% icons to choose from.....
Thanks!!

go to UOT Kitchen and see if you can find a battery option that you like or check out this thread in themes and apps for quite a few battery options and themes I posted
Edit: Oh Yea!
Just want to say if you ask a question the right way and also let others know you tried, I dont think anyone should give you a hard time... I learned a lot in here and you just have to realize before you post hey I know I am not the first to ask this.....lol.... Hope the goodies thread helps you and if you like something in there or need it tweaked let me know...

[Q] [Help] [Solved] got my first rom to boot, contacts fc

I need someone else to take a look at this, please. I am not on a team, and a novice at best. I just finished cooking my first rom. Everything worked with exception of Contacts (and phone since they are connected). I need an experienced devs help.

What did you take out/add to the rom for you to get FC?

see thread here, just took out a variance of these. Added AOSP email and exchange.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386846&highlight=+info+removeable+system+apps
I am trying different variants, like re-adding the stock email and exchange, but not even a boot after i do this...

All AOSP system apps won't work with TW

Yeah if you added AOSP contacts to a tw based rom thats probably what's causing you fc.

Please do some research before you cook roms. You could do the same exact thing you were explaining without cooking a rom.

Thanks for getting my back. I did a lot of research, for the last few months or so. I only removed bloat system apps from the ROM. I agree, could've been more descriptive, but I didn't want to list like 60 apps and take up space. Now, the contacts that were in the system are TW based. Everything was taken from datajosh's FF18 stock rooted deodexed, and then themed from ev1lart toxic theme that I ported over form the sgh-t989. Everything worked with the exception of Contacts as stated above. I have since put everything back the stock exchange and email back and tested, but same problem, and after doing so the SystemUI wouldn't function correctly. So i rolled back to original to still have contacts FC. I was hoping maybe an experienced dev wouldn't mind downloading and taking a look. Maybe see something I had overlooked is all.
Also, forgot to mention that I am in the process of re-themeing
Here is what I have so far...

Have you tried replacing all the files at once: systemui.apk, both framework files, phone.apk and contact.apk from stock yet then work your way back from there? Also, clear cache & davlik cache.

Yeah man, I tried them all. I still have the original, but now have my trash can full of like twenty versions of non working. Tried stock and then adb push's for individual apps, Contacts still the problem when I do it that way. I am starting over right now, hopefully I get everything done soon. I still have my regular life , taking the kids out for a movie today, have college all week, and the job search is coninuing...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577025
I've fought with apk's for a long time and come to find out, there's a frickin corrupt .9.png file or something else somewhere not allowing me to compile correctly even though it's looking like it is. The trick is anything you decompile, it pops up a status window letting you know if the decompile went well. It's a pretty advanced tool and supports ICS.
BTW: How noob? You're double checking/setting system permissions when you push apps correct?

Thanks for getting my back. I did a lot of research, for the last few months or so. I only removed bloat system apps from the ROM. I agree, could've been more descriptive, but I didn't want to list like 60 apps and take up space. Now, the contacts that were in the system are TW based. Everything was taken from datajosh's FF18 stock rooted deodexed, and then themed from ev1lart toxic theme that I ported over form the sgh-t989. Everything worked with the exception of Contacts as stated above. I have since put everything back the stock exchange and email back and tested, but same problem, and after doing so the SystemUI wouldn't function correctly. So i rolled back to original to still have contacts FC. I was hoping maybe an experienced dev wouldn't mind downloading and taking a look. Maybe see something I had overlooked is all.
Also, forgot to mention that I am in the process of re-themeing
Here is what I have so far...

OK. I have all sorts of tools. Autoapktool works great decompiling, but not so good with recompiling. Agat63 does some awesome work though, he has mad skills. I wouldn't be anywhere without all the great devs here. I use the original apktool for most, but there is a new ics apktool I use (apktool for ics basically. These two I use exclusively for de/recompile, unless I just want the res really quick. I use auto in order to create flashables and such.... I have tried stock and tried to add via root explorer individually. Once again, contacs is a no go, and neither is systemUI. Also tried pushing using GangsKidz kitchen. Pushes the right way every time. But, still no joy. Dazed is going to take a look to see what he can find, but for now I think I am just going to start over.....

Thanks. We would have nothing if it weren't for ev1lArt. He did the majority, and created all the icons, I just took them to our device and applied them. I created a theme, but the testing of it went just as well as my ROM, so it is on hold until I find out which exact apk(s) is(are) f'd up. I have also cleaned it up quite a bit.

Ok everyone. I ha e discovered my mistake. The pro lem.lies.within the idiot that made.it....me. Seriously though. The theme was just fine and dandy, but I used the assets from the ported framework, hence why everything went awry. I searched for 6-7 hours straight to figure this one out. With that being said, I have semester finals this week. I will get back on this on Thursday or Friday this week. Hope to have this bad boy themed and ripping out next week. Also, what are thoughts about an apple osx themed rom? Im not much an iphan <-- get it? But I do have a Mac, and like osx. Just wanted some input. Thank you everyone who has helped with suggestions and tools. I was losing m mind, chasing my tail for hours....

I believe if it will be a theme that we can try out, that would be a nice option. If it is going to be entire rom based on that theme, I'm not certain how that will be recieved but you just never know.

[THEME] Nexus 7 Paranoid Android 3.0 1% Battery Theme (No Flashing Needed)

This thread was originally posted over on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 forums (links in my sig), and after a good deal of success on both devices, I decided (with a lot of nudging lol) to post this here in the Nexus 7 forums too. I own a Nexus 7 with PA 3.0 installed, and so I can test everything and so far have had no issues. Also, because of the different screen size of the Nexus 7, I think the icons are a little small. Others who've tried these on their N7 don't seem to mind, so please let me know what you think. If they're too small for your liking, I'll work on making them bigger. I'm ""trying" to keep one APK for each theme to work across all devices.
Many of you are like me and have been looking for 1% battery increments on the amazing Paranoid Android ROM. The devs have been working so hard on making the rest of the ROM great for us that they just haven't had a chance to add battery %. So I've made several themes for just that purpose! I know you can install one of thousands of themes out there that add battery %, but I have always been partial to the stock look of ICS and JB, so my themes will only add battery percent icons, nothing more. They apply via the built-in theme manager, so no flashing required! Just download the theme(s) you want from the attachments below and install/apply like always. Also, please swing by this thread and hit the thanks button on the OP, ATTACK. It's his icon pack that has made most of these (maybe all) possible, given my rather limited photoshop skills. He OK'd the use of the icons, but I'd like to give him "something" back.
I've got 14 themes now.

12. Digital theme DOWNLOAD
13. SGS 3 Style icons. DOWNLOAD
14. Percent Numbers, better than Roboto. DOWNLOAD
Each theme of icons can be installed side by side on the same device. This way, if you want to change between different icons, you have the ability to do just that, without uninstalling or reinstalling anything. Also, the battery icons in the screenshot are a little bigger than they are now. I had an issue where the icons were slightly larger than the surrounding icons, but that's fixed. I just need new screenshots..........
Disclaimers/Warnings:
*This is my first attempt at theming, but they have been running perfectly fine on myriad Paranoid Galaxy Nexus', Nexus 4's, and my own Nexus 7 (as well as some other N7's people have installed on) and I have had no actual problems in performance or function reported by anybody in either forum, besides the normal bumps in the road any mod/theme will encounter. However, if for some reason you run into problems (themes won't apply, tablet dies, ROM borked, dragons flying out of the charging port, etc... ), I am not responsible. I will help you however I can, though. I honestly can't think of anything this theme could do to your phone anyway, but you never know.
*MAKE A BACKUP! I know that sounds silly for a theme, but since this is my first try, I suggest you have a backup just in case. So far I've had a good bit of downloads and comments in the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 threads, and I think it's safe to say its stable. Still, make a backup just in case.
*The theme works in all standard UI modes, (phone, phablet, various tablet) but I can't test every configuration out there. If you have issues let me know and I'll see if I can fix it.
*You will most likely get the "This theme is missing assets for your screen size" message, but hit apply anyway. Almost every theme I've ever seen throws this message, but it doesn't affect anything in these themes.
*It should work on each version of PA that comes out, but there is a chance something will change to break it. I'm really not sure. I'll test when each version comes out, until there's no more demand for this theme.
*These are designed for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, and now Nexus 7, each running Paranoid Android 3.0. However, I've had several reports that they work on other devices and other ROMs, so you're welcome to try it. PA is the only ROM it is being tested on, however.
Thanks for looking, and if anybody has any issues or requests, feel free to let me know!! Any and all feedback is welcomed and encouraged! Enjoy!
Changelog:
-Starting Nexus 7 forum at version 1.2, which is current as of 2/20/13

ICS Circle looks really good. Thank you for this! :good:

I've changed the OP in each of my threads now, cleaning them up just a little, mostly the previews and uploads. My themes are no longer hosted on XDA, but instead are hosted on my Dropbox account. This way I don't have to upload them in 3 different threads everytime I have a new one or make a change. It's more of a copy-paste deal now. This has done better than I ever really anticipated, and so I never really thought I'd have as much on the OP's. I was actually running out of upload slots in the original thread lol. I read that the limit on Dropbox accounts is 20GB/day so I really don't think this will ever reach THAT level of popularity (I think I figured it would take something like 1816 downloads on each theme per day to reach that traffic) but if anybody has issues with downloads, I'll find someplace else to host the files. Worst case, I'll go back to putting them on XDA as attachments and maybe get a mod to add a post or two for me at the beginning of the thread, since I didn't have foresight enough to reserve them. (doh!)
Thank you all for the kind words, feedback, and even requests! This has been an awesome experience for me, and I am excited to keep working on it, even as simple as these are! Those of you who have made requests that I haven't fulfilled yet, I am working on it. Just a couple out there I think.... Those that I haven't been able to fulfill your requests, I apologize. I am really still a noob here, but it's a great learning experience!!!

Could you do one that's the digital numbers only? If you're not sure what I mean, I can find it. Let me know, thanks. :good:

I think there's a digital icon set in that icon pack. I'll check but I should be able to make it, no problem.

I would like to learn how to do something like this myself. Do you have any guides you could link me to?
I'm a noob to android, but i know abit of VB c# and some c++. I can learn fast.

Sorry I took so long to answer, I've been working long hours but that's done now so I can finally catch up. I don't have any guides, what I did was download a theme that has EVERYTHING themed, decompiled it, and just started looking through the files. That taught me enough to understand the basics of what was going on, then I started Googling for specific questions. When I hit an impasse, I went to this thread for some help. The guys there were extremely helpful. After they got me started, I still had some issues but Google got me through those as well. If you have any questions I'm happy to answer what I can, but if you rank noobness from 1-10, 10 being expert, I'm still like a 2.5..........lol
To learn the battery icons you can decompile one of my themes and look at how it works. That is probably easier than trying to figure it out from scratch or looking at a full theme like I did. The soft buttons "should" work relatively the same. Let me know if you need anything!

OK, your digital theme is up in the OP now. Let me know if that's what you want. Also, what do you think of the charging animation? After I compiled it I think it may be a little too fast when it hits 100, so let me know if you like it or want it a little slower.....
Sorry it took me so long, been busy with work.

Bigger font?
Thanks for the great work. Could you tell me how to enlarge the font? I'm using the roboto one. The clock font is way bigger, if I could make them about the same that would be awesome.

To make them bigger the right way I need to remake the icons. I have a lot of work I'm doing this weekend on new themes and stuff like that, but I'd like to try and make those icons bigger too. I was copying the style on another theme and the text icons in it were a smaller size vertically than the others I've got, but bigger horizontally. I didn't want to mess up the horizontal spacing so I left it the same. I attached an older version to this post, the icons on this theme show up a little bigger than the newer version on the phone, due to a change I made. The actual icons are the same size, it's just the phone resizes them differently. That might work for you until I get the icons remade. You'll have to uninstall the version you have, then install this version. I don't think it will install over the other since it's an older version. Let me know what you think, though I still want to remake the icons.......

I don't know, seems about the same size. But thanks for uploading, I'll keep an eye out for updates. *thumbs up*

[FRAMEWORK MODS] Disable Screen On/Off on USB plug + Center Clock + others 11/27/2016

The mods listed below are for the "V" version of Google Pixel XL images.
They probably work for non-XL as well as "U" and "X" images, but I can't guarantee this. I would definitely NOT flash this if you're on "N" or anything else.
Do note this is my first time providing framework mods, so... yeah.
Installing this mod probably won't wipe any data or pre-configured settings, but I can't guarantee that either.
The mod may or may not conflict with WETA framework mods, I'm not sure. Please let me know?
LIST OF CUSTOMIZATION YOU GET AFTER DOING THIS MOD:
---Disable screen wake-on when unplug or plug USB
---Disable IME Switcher Notification
---Enable all rotations
---Enable lockscreen rotation
---Disable safe media volume
---Centered Clock
---Enable double-tap to wake (no idea if it works or not, may require kernel)
UPDATE: @Tulsadiver has added battery percentage/numeral options.
Please see post #7 for his zip and give him some thanks!
I'm going to eventually explore more mods, such as getting the 1% battery icon and adjusting status bar icon/clock/battery sizes.
Download the framework-res.apk and SystemUIGoogle.apk here:
http://www.filedropper.com/frameworkfiles
To install, you'll need a file browser with root privileges.
I use Root Explorer and that's what these directions are for.
Before proceeding, I do recommend that you copy your original framework-res and SystemUIGoogle to your PC in case you need to restore them.
1) Download the zip from link above.
2) Extract the zip on your PC.
3) Copy both APK files to your /sdcard.
4) Open Root Explorer and locate the files.
5) Copy both APK's to the /system_root/system folder.
6) Long press each APK and go to Root Explorer settings to change permissions.
7) Change permissions to RW/R/R for both APK's.
8) Copy Framework-res.apk to /system_root/system/framework and replace the existing file.
Your phone will automatically reboot.
9) Let phone boot back up and test to make sure you're okay.
10) Copy SystemUIGoogle.apk to /system_root/system/priv-app/SystemUIGoogle folder and replace the existing file.
Your UI will quickly restart.
I highly recommend manually initiating a full reboot son afterward to avoid UI force-closes.
I hope you enjoy this mod!
Many thanks to the folks in this thread for helping me get this far:

I have duplicated your issue with Root Browser.
Maybe that's why it's a free root app or maybe there is some setting it needs or maybe it's just not capable of understanding the file system to make the changes needed.
Try using Root Explorer.
It's worth the $.

Or you can try to use ADB to change permissions.
You'll have to Google the directions for that though.

You can already get battery percentage in the battery icon, via System UI Tuner. See screenshots below for reference.
Steps to enable System UI Tuner:
Code:
1. Pull down the Notification drawer.
2. Long Press the Cog icon (Settings)
3. Cog should spin and phone should give some haptic feedback with a toast about System UI Tuner being enabled.
4. Settings>System UI Tuner (right above 'About Phone').
5. Tap 'Status Bar' and scroll down.
6. Tap 'Battery'.
7. Choose 'Always show percentage'.

Thank you, that's not what I'm looking for.
That percentage inside the battery sucks.
People with bad eyes can't see it at all.
I'm looking for the larger numbers you got all by theirselves with a percentage symbol next to it.
Like what you saw in Marshmallow's System UI Tuner options.
And ideally, I want to get rid of the percentage symbol too.

I was thinking about getting a Pixel if they ever come on sale and was cruising around. I'm not trying to but-in but i hate to see someone wanting a mod and just ignore it. Again, I don't have this phone but if you want to try these out to see if they work, feel free. Credit goes to this OP. All I did was use his framework and systemui and try to add battery percent to it. I also tried to remove the percent symbol on one and adjust the keyguard statusbar to the same height as the statusbar. Try them at your own risk and OP, if they work, you are welcome to offer them yourself on your main post.

Not a problem. Easy and ancient mod.

LOL
I spent at least 90 minutes changing the framework to add 1=1, 2=2, 3=3, 4=4, 5=5, 6=6, 7=7, etc. etc. to battery and battery_charging.
Only to have it not work.
I guess I was following the wrong guide or I messed something up or just gave up too soon.

I tried something similar with the same results. Let me know if you have any questions about my pm.

Have anyone try this on a pixel yet?

As opposed to a Pixel Xl? This is a systemui.apk swap so it will not work on a Pixel.
If you are talking about the battery percent, PM me a copy of the latest firmware version systemui.apk and framework.apk for the Pixel I'll make one for it.

Yes, like a doofus I posted this mod on the Pixel forum letting folks know I didn't know if it would work or not (I thought it would).
One guy tried it and it bootlooped him.
Pixel & XL have the same V, X, U designations and filenames on firmware so with that and some other reasoning, I suspected the framework would be same.
My bad.

I think its because they have different display resolution? So there must be some different that have to be made

Yup, the resolution was one thing I was worried about but I'm not familiar enough with the framework to know if there is anything in it specific to resolution or not.
If you want to upload your framework and let me know which specific mods you want, I'll try to find time to do those edits for you.
So far I only know how to do the mods I listed in the OP.
I haven't had a chance yet to review TulsaDiver's mods to learn them.

Keep in mind though that Google will be rolling out new firmware next week (probably) which may require re-doing the mods in the new framework.

Then its probably a good idea to wait for the next update i guess? TBH if there could be double tap lockscreen/status bar to sleep that would be perfect but maybe we should wait for the new update first? If you want to check out the framework for pixel I am more than happy to upload it to you thought

Resolution isn't the problem. The public Id's do not match. All it takes is one being different and everything afterwards is out of order. The smali's think they are grabbing the dimension for the statusbar and they might be getting back the color of the battery icon instead.
I looked at the pixel files for nde63x. Pixel's apps come already deodexed? How cool is that.

Maybe that would explain why the guide I tried to follow at one point, on how to deodex, kept failing on me. lol
It's so weird because most guides assume stuff is at /system when the Pixel has a /system but everything at /system_root/system instead.
I'm just glad the stock ROM from Google (my first Google phone) is so great "as is".
I still can't wait for Dirty Unicorns to drop.
But if it never does, I'll probably be happy with Xposed and stock Google + framework mods.
The next big thing on my wishlist is to get rid of the "Car Mode" in the drop-down when you're in Car Mode.
You can't tell it to go away and never come back, like Google now lets you do with many other drop-down messages.
Xposed + NotifyClean (or the other app by the same team) will resolve that.
