I'm trying to change the battery percentage on Skyraider 3.3 final to the stock battery icon like on stock sense 2.2
I changed the icons in the framework.apk in the drawable-hdpi folder with the stock battery icons with 7zip but now i get no battery icon at all. Could someone point in the right direction please
Edit 2: Nevermind the stock battery theme on his is still percent. Is there a way I can get rid of it following the above steps? I would like to have stock non percentage battery?

You will have to ask in the ROM thread if he can do this for you. There are more than the % battery changes in the framework and just changing the images will not revert it to stock since there are xml changes to support it also.
Thanks, I did and got no answer a little while ago. I did find a work around though by changing the percentage icons to 100 non percentage icons.
I have Cyangen on my incredible and I was wondering if I could replace the battery icon with an icon that has the percentage on it. I have battery issues and would like to have granular notification of the battery status.
I had a sense rom that had this built in. Now that i'm running cyanogen I would like it back.
Its also built-in you have to turn it on. It should b under settings, cm settings, you can change lots of ui settings, i.e....clock color, batt %, etc

You can use this site to change the battery icon among other things you can try the UOT Kitchen.
(Sorry, I haven't posted enough to be able to post links, so just Google the UOT Kitchen)

it's pretty simple todo yourself. find a ROM that has that mod, and take some files from the drawable file add it to yours and then edit the pngs.. lou made a video its on his rom page to help with this specifically.
I have been playing around with CM 6.1.2 wimax alpha 2. If you are unfamiliar with this it has some changes to the framework xmls and i am assuming some .jar files. These changes break themes that are not made for it. I have been modifying the files to get my theme working on it however have run in to a snag. I cant seem to get the "super circle Battery mod" to work with it.
I have moved over the files like you do with almost any other theme (after decompling for XML). i then re compile it and move the files over to my theme. At first this seemed to do nothing and it still only showed every 20%. Eventually i decided to modify the Stat_battery_ files by hand to. Doing this completely takes away the battery icon.
The question i have is has anyone gotten the super circle or similar battery mods to work (where it will change icons every %)? If so any guidance?
I'm currently using Calk's 1.6 stock based ICS rom and cannot find the percentage battery icons so I can replace them with something different. In GB it was pretty easy but I guess some things have changed with ICS. I would rather know how to do this manually, I do not want an app or use the UOT for this. Tnx.
I cannot help you with that ROM but if you look at different ROM's, particularly the Blu Kuban, there are many battery styles you can choose from. I installed this ROM last weekend and am thoroughly enjoying it. You can do lots of customization's with it.

It is really quite tricky unless you have a theming background. If I remember right the files you need to modify are in the systemui.apk. You would need to decompile it, swap the image files, recompile it and then push it to system/app.
I'd recommend going the easy route and trying ROM Toolbox Pro.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not shy about de/recompiling apk's but in ICS I don't think its as easy as swapping out some .png files like in GB. I've already looked in systemui and framework and the battery icons are solid, whereas the rom shows the battery percentage icons.
You can use the UOT Kitchen here: http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Pick the icons you want, upload the framework files from your rom, and you get a flashable zip. Very easy (assuming they have an icon style you like of course).

Sorry, once again I want to do this manually by reprogramming systemui/framework and do not want to use any third party app or the UOT. Thanks.
The files are in the SystemUI.apk file. You need to replace ALL the files named stat_sys_battery*.png (there will usually be like 100 for % and another 100 for charge) ex: stat_sys_battery_98.png & stat_sys_battery_charge_anim99.png
You will find the files in res/drawable-hdpi
All you need to do is replace the existing ones with the new ones. I would make a backup cause stuff does go wrong. Also I find it easiest to replace the SystemUI.apk using a flashable zip file.
If you need help with any of this just let me know.

Ok, finally a sane person.
Just kidding, everyone means well...
Anyway, I am going to attach the framework & systemui.apk so you can see what I'm talking about. I am on Calk's v1.6 from here (in case you're not familiar with it, there are screenshots of the stock TW looking desktops):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527041
As you can see, the rom's using a 1% battery percentage icon set. However, they can not be found in either framework or systemui.
I know it should be that easy but I just don't know on this stock FE22 based rom.
Edit: There are 26 battery icons in systemui. They do appear to be similar to the ones for the rom but the numbers are missing from the icons so I'm taking a stab that somehow the numbers are superimposed over the icon and this rom does not use the entire 200 or so individual icons if that makes any sense. Gonna test that theory.
Ok, finally figured it out. The developer's aren't putting the full 1% battery icons in yet and the stat_sys_battery.xml files haven't been edited for that yet either. Guess I'll just have to change that .
Thanks everyone.

I confirmed the battery percentage numbers displayed on the status bar are hard coded into the stock ICS rom. I even removed all of the battery png files and the only thing that remains is a lonely little '89%' showing in the notification bar w/o the icon around it.
Anyone know where the code for that might be?
Found this too. Settings, display

Do you want me to edit the xml for ya to add the battery images and then send you the sytemui? Or I could send you the xml files to replace the old ones.

Thanks Dazed. I finally got it all figured out. What was killing me was Calk has a bad .9 png file in the systemui so it refused to recompile correctly until I corrected it.
True 1% battery (stock ICS didn't have true 1% .png's), Green Goblin sig bar, White Clock & Big Battery.
I've attached a screenshot.
Edit: I did edit the battery xml's for the 100 or so .png files I added to systemui btw. Plus I enjoy learning to do it myself. We're kinda starting over with ICS.

Im pretty sure if you want to make changes it will be this directory SystemUI/Res/drawable their you will find stat_sys_battery xml along with the charging xml as well...
thanks found it and working now xx

I love the newest version of X3remeSense. It has sped up my phone considerably and has been a big improvement over the bloated stock rom.
However, the only thing I want to tweak is the battery icon. I love having a percentage on the battery icon so i can see exactly how much juice I have left. I've tried my usual UOT kitchen method, uploaded all the necessary files, and i got an SHTF error.
I also tried manually replacing the .png files into the SystemUI.apk and it only shows the percentage in 10% increments (90%, 80%, etc...)
Any ideas as to how to do this? I'm kind of tempted to go back to stock just so i can have my cool battery icons.
Thanks in advance and thank you so so much to all the Devs and posters here working on the One V. You guys are top notch.
Any thoughts, guys? Sorry to bump but figured somebody could shed some light on this
