This mod will add the following features:
battery % numbers with step of 1 instead of 5 as by default
battery charging icon displays %
no carrier text
no wastes space around clock (especially noticeable with 24H clock)
CRT off effect (it's an animation when screen gets turned off)
The battery icons were taken from [KITCHEN][12/20] UOT Kitchen (Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen) version 4.0
Created from and tested on Nitro HD P930 (AT&T) with stock rom.
Disclamer: as usual you are the one who is responsible if you brick you phone
The attached files can be flashed with CWM. In my tests I had to install package twice without reboot, otherwise it would either get stuck at LG logo or boot loop.
Make sure create a backup with CWM before installing this!
If you don't want use CWM you can install it manually:
backup /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/app/SystemUI.apk
copy framework\framework-res.apk and app\SystemUI.apk from package to sd card on your phone
a) using Root Explorer (DO NOT USE ES FILE EXPLORER OR YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PHONE!) copy framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from sd card to /system/.
Change permissions to:

}
move /system/framework-res.apk to /system/framework/
and /system/SystemUI.apk to /system/app/
reboot (don't worry about force closes, it's normal)
b) using adb from your computer, make sure phone is set to debug mode.
open cmd window on your computer and type (each line is separate command):
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/
chmod 0644 /system/framework-res.apk
chown root.root /system/framework-res.apk

chmod 0644 /system/SystemUI.apk
chown root.root /system/SystemUI.apk
mv /system/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
mv /system/SystemUI.apk /system/app/
mount -oremount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit
adb reboot
It'd be really cool to figure out how to manually cook an apk like itiskonrad did, but with percentage text in 1% increments on top of the blue battery he created.
Awesome! Thanks, [email protected]! Yeah, Malnilion, if it's okay with [email protected], maybe I can take a look at it and try to group it with the blue icons/blue battery/no carrier stuff if he's cool with that?

absolutely!
And by the way, after seeing the vertical icon I noticed that we have so much wasted space between battery icon and clock, never noticed it before, now it bothers me...do you think there is a way remove that space?
Hmm, one question though. If I apply the % to the stock battery, what color do I choose for the number? =) As the battery drains, it has a white background, so I guess no white. So just black?
Quick question for [email protected]! I decompiled the framework-res.apk that you got from UOT Kitchen, and noticed that all the battery icons normally used by the phone (typically stored in framework-res/res/drawable-xhdpi) are missing. The battery icons being used in this theme are being stored in framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi, the folder designated for lower-resolution icons for lower res phones. My question is did you delete the battery icons from xhdpi? Or did UOT kitchen do it automatically?
No, I did not touch the .apk files. Must be UOT kitchen itself...
I wonder when/where these xhdpi images are being used?
In the nitro, xhdpi images include pretty much all the icons, battery, buttons used. All modifications I made were to copies of the icons used in xhdpi. UOT kitchen can't handle xhdpi yet. It's only designed for phones up to qHD, which still use images in hdpi. So when UOT kitchen made the phone use 1% battery increments, the only way it knew how was to direct the framework to use hdpi images of the battery, since it doesn't understand how to modify xhdpi yet. This is fine, but I'm wondering if since it's directing the battery icons to hdpi (these are about half the resolution of the xhdpi icons) if it's also directing ALL the other icons to hdpi. Did you notice any drop in quality (or size) of the other icons unrelated to the battery when installing this apk, in particular the install icon (the arrow with the horizontal green line going through it that pops up when you're downloading/installing an app)? If nothing else changed, then it's good. Then the only things that have been modified are the battery icons, and I can see if I can just swap them out with higher res originals with added percent values....
looks cool, about to do this but re: step 3b
could you clarify what adb is?
thanks in advance!

hey cool, thanks! firing up the superoneclick here in a bit.
You know, now I do see the battery icon is a bit fuzzy, but it really, really barely visible...we are talking about 24% difference, 38x38 vs 50x50
if others are afraid of bricking their phone.
i can confirm that this mod DOES WORK! (i use the 1%_battery_horizontal.zip)
thanks [email protected] !
Added CRT off effect
I am running Domination HD rom, flashed with CMW, boots fine but i have no notification bar at all.
Any ideas or is it maybe only compatible with stock roms?

I think it's due to Domination is deodexed rom, this mod is not dedexed.
I don't know if there is a way use dedexed SystemUI.apk on stock rom or not...
I'm in process of testing phone with no CWM installed, so I don't want risk it soft brick
I've attached SystemUI.odex file, try put it in /system/app/ using the manual method above.
If it works, perhaps deodex version could possibly make it work on stock rom as well.
Deodexed SystemUI.apk works fine on non-deodexed stock rom. I'm using it now in order to get the transparent notification bar on my otherwise stock rom.
Did you have to delete SystemUI.odex ?
Yup, deleted the odex after putting in the deodexed apk. Works fine as far as I can tell. Been using it this way for a month or so and no signs of anything weird. And I think since only SystemUI.apk is deodexed, it didn't seem to change my boot time when turning on my phone. Still right around 55 seconds.
How would I add just the CRT effect?

* 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
It's work very well on JPO (CSC XEU)

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.

Installation instructions
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! (Warning stolen from fisha21)
unzip framework-res_vx.x.apk.zip and copy the framework-res.apk and services.jar to /sdcard/
with adb execute the following commands
Code:
adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/
adb push services.jar /sdcard/
adb shell
su
stop
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/
sync
start
ATTENTION after the start command it can take up to 5 mins depending the number of apps installed because the dalvik cache must be regenerated.
Version 0.5
Fix to xml file to make it compile for FW 2.3.26
Version 0.4
Better charging animation for 100% battery full
Version 0.3
Better charging animation
Gradiant colors
This was tested on A70IT with firmware 2.1.08 but should work on any gen8 device with the same firmware.
Reserved for future use.

Difficult. I can't find anything in the xml files that control the placement of the text in the battery. I'm looking in services.jar if I can fully disable the percent text.
you wouldnt need to add system text, just put the text as numbers within each of the 100 circle images you are using. its been done on loadso f other phones already you could probably just use the images from them.

Yes I know that BUT the default battery percentage will be overlaid on the images so still the same problem.
ah so that means that the mod as it stands already does have the % battery life in numbers in the middle? why didnt you say?

Sorry Need to add that part but if you look at the bugs it's mentioned there. Need to add it more clearly.
I'm working on a fix for the percentage but that means decompiling service.jar and hacking the davlik code.

anyone know how this looks on a70 with pixel density 130? maybe a screenshot. the stock battery and wifi are nearly unreadable.

I'll talk to him about it. He's having problems with the compile process at the moment I've given him some pointers.
i tried the UOT once again over a heavenly allready modified framework-res.apk and it made a beautiful batt-circle, booted:
BUT: all google apps and some apps in the notification bar crash immidiatly.
didn't try to clear dalvik for now - could help maybe.
maybe its because the UOT renames all dirs and the app to *-v4? and writes the animatated symbols to drawable-hdpi instead of mdpi?

Certainly, should be ready for you in the next couple of days!
Turns out the main issues I was having were due to Uruk 0.7. For some reason, Uruk 0.7 installed to internal SD doesn't appear to be compatible with framework modification (as far as I can tell).
Added v0.3 with gradient colors and better charging animation.
Version 0.4
Better charging animation for 100% battery full
Just curious - did you manage to get UOT to generate the mdpi resolution images, or did you resize the hdpi ones manually?

[MOD] Greener SystemUI.apk & battery mod / CRT effect for XWKE2/KE7/KF1/KF3/XXKG1/2/6
I made a quick mod to alter some of the icons from SystemUI.apk so that the icons turn green when you're fully connected to Google's network á la nexus phones.
The network data icons were modded using paint.net, and are a bit flat (but they look okay - original icons had 2 tone grey, haven't had time to make it look as pretty as they were ) and the wifi and reception icons are that of stock 2.3
Installation is manual because we don't have a flash-friendly recovery yet. You have to rename your chosen file to SytemUI.apk and then push it to /system/app and restart your phone. However, all newer mods will be CWM flashable
I have also modified the framework-res.apk to have the CRT screen off animation.

Above is a pic of how the reception and wifi icons are when fully connected.
Make sure you extract (if compressed) and or rename the files before pushing them.
Guide: If you have an insecure recovery, you can do this as long as you open your command shell where the framework-res.apk file and SystemUI.apk file is.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
If you do not have a secure recovery, you can paste them over the existing files using Root Explorer, but this is an unsafe method, and might cause your Google Account settings to disappear from Accounts & Sync.

also do the bars/icons change to green when connected and grey when not?
is this a reversible mod? i.e. uninstall, returns to normal?

Yes. That's why I attached the original SystemUI.apk too

That seems like it's from a Nexus S or something.
Anyway, I think that's just an example of how the icons change to green, and what the reception/wifi icons would look like.

how have you managed to push the original framework-res.apk back?
Works fine for me, I used Root Explorer to move the SystemUI into System/App and rebooted, all working perfectly.
Thanks for this mate. Much appreciated.

Probably did it via adb
Exactly... If you are fast enough, you can do adb remount+ adb push the file back before the device reboots in the bootloop... Then it will boot normally... I did however lose all my account settings, but not absolutely sure it was because of the file pushed...
does your device have to be rooted to apply this?

Usually the icons turn green when a connection to google/sync is established..so without wifi the signal bars should stay grey

OK, I see that there's a desire to try and organize some of the various battery mod posts over in dev. While I'm hesitant to start yet another battery/status bar thread, I thought this might be better to at least organize my few contributions
Currently I've only worked on KE2 and KE7. These are standalone files, in other words you will have to use adb or a root explorer to apply. I prefer adb. The download links are listed by firmware name... I have not renamed the actual files, so you don't need to rename or anything like that to put on your phone. **if using a root explorer remember to set permissions on the new file to 644 or rw,r,r**

Translucent Statusbar w/AOSP icons
This is just to give you an idea of how the translucent looks. This can be a cool look or look kinda bad depending on your wallpaper. All aosp green "fully" icons are included with this download:
KE2 translucent aosp statusbar
KE7 translucent aosp statusbar
AOSP black statusbar (same icons as above, but no translucent background)
KE2 aosp black-statusbar
KE7 aosp black-statusbar
adb usage
Adb is the preferred method to insert these. Even over flashing a zip since it's quicker. Also, it's much preferred over using a root explorer since it won't alter permissions. Here's one way to do it:
First thing is to launch terminal (mac/linux) or command (windows). Then you need to "cd" to the folder where you have the file(s) at that need to be pushed. For instance if you had framework-res.apk in your downloads folder you would type something similar to this
(windows-press enter after each line)
Code:
cd C:\Users\pendo\Downloads
Then you would see this C:\Users\pendo\Downloads>
After you "cd" to the correct folder, type the following lines pressing enter after each line
(You only need to type the "adb root" command if your boot.img is insecure and you only need to do it once per terminal session.)
To replace framework-res
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb shell mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk.old
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb shell start
Renaming your existing file with the ".old" extension will make the system ignore it, as well as store it in a convenient place should you want to revert. To revert to the original type this:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk.old /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell start
To replace SystemUI.apk
We have 2 files to rename as it has an odex. Note that it goes in the /system/app directory. Also, we need to wipe dalvik-cache for this one.
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb shell mv /system/app/SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk.old
adb shell mv /system/app/SystemUI.odex /system/app/SystemUI.odex.old
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
adb shell start
To revert:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb shell rm /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb shell mv /system/app/SystemUI.apk.old /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb shell mv /system/app/SystemUI.odex.old /system/app/SystemUI.odex
adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
adb shell start
There are other subtle variations you can use to the individual commands, I just chose these for an example. For instance, I generally don't "cd" to the directory that holds my files. Rather, I'll just drag and drop them into my terminal window. Also some will just enter shell and cd to a files directory rather than call it using its full directory path.
Hopefully some of the newer people find some of this useful.

CREDITS/ATTRIBUTIONS
All of my workings with the circle battery can trace their roots to Fightspit's original super circle battery thread. I'm not sure if that's where they originated first, but it is where it began for me late summer 2010. Most of my early designs were either based partially, or wholly upon works in his thread. All of my present offerings are original works by me, however, they still mimic the basic designs from his thread. If anyone ever happens to run into him in a thread, make sure to pass on your thanks for helping to introduce this great mod.
I have some new work I've started that has not previously been posted. I'm going for a more blue flavor, as I really don't care for the orange highlights that android seems to favor
All of the green aosp icons in the status bar have been made blue, including my aosp battery with percent. All of the system related (and any apps that use system resources) highlight/pressed colors have been changed. Also, if you have the overscroll effect mod, this has new colors to match. I didn't do much in the way of icon theming as I'm kinda liking the subdued stock ones for the moment, but I anticipate I'll do more with that as time goes on....I'll look for feedback on that. There's not much a screenshot can tell you as the changes are pretty subtle, but here's one that at least shows the battery and wifi indicators. This is for KE7 only.
sgs2-blue.zip
Inside the zip are 3 files: framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, and SystemUI.apk. Push framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk to /system/framework/ and SystemUI.apk to /system/app/
Black background statusbar
Both of these have solid black statusbar backgrounds but have different pull-down handles. The first file has the same handle as the above file:
download==>SystemUI.apk
The second looks like this:
hshah was kind enough to provide this screenshot:

edit : Btw we have clockwork recovery now, I don't suppose you can
give me a blank flashable zip for cwm 3.x that I can put these in to flash.
I also need the zip to make a theme.
Another quick question do these work with odexed stock roms? I'm on ke7
Stock rooted. Thats the only thing I'm abit iffy about before I start flashing away.

Gonna also make a thread for my markets here, too I think.....there's a few that are newer to android with this phone and haven't seen those yet.
I didn't know there was an official cwm out yet. I skimmed through earlier, but didn't notice. I'll have to look at it to get the proper mount commands.
Pretty much any 'ol script will "work" but without the proper mount line, you would have to manually mount /system (under mounts and storage) in order for the flash to apply.
Pendo: Does the "AOSP battery/w percent (battery only)" only change the battery icon, or also the other status bar icons?
Would like a framework.res with all AOSP icons including the AOSP battery percentage But without the translucent status bar

You can can run a deodexed apk in an otherwise odexed rom. Framework-res.apk does not have an associated odex file, and neither does twframework-res.apk. But the other apk's do have an associated odex file. Deodexing basically is repackaging the apk with the dex file inside. You just need to make sure that you either rename or remove SystemUI.odex when trying my SystemUI.apk
There is some debate as to whether an odexed rom is faster/slower than deodexed with *some* anecdotal evidence supporting either one. Honestly I'm not real up to speed with that debate. Personal opinion is that it's probably close either way, and with this device in particular I doubt one would notice any difference at all.

Ah yes....the white bar, forgot about that. This is actually caused by the white background of the app. There are other apk's that will cause this too. Depending on the apk and if it's got a title bar this can look odd. I'm personally not a huge fan of transparent statusbar's (or transparencies in general, with the exception of my market ) but it's always been a frequently requested item. I will add additional downloads that have just a solid black statusbar.
As far as removing the statusbar pull-down handle, I actually don't think I've ever seen it like that. Lol, I've just always put a handle on it. Are you using KE2 or KE7? I'll make whichever one you're using without a handle
added versions for each that have the stock black statusbar background
I am on KE7. Going to test your new versions now. Thanks for the brilliant and quick update

I want to replace the white circle around the icon (displayed when hovering the icon, before releasing the finger from the screen). It just needs to be transparrent.
The developer of the ROM wrote this to me:
final Drawable activeBack = mResources.getDrawable(com.android.internal.R.draw able.ic_lockscreen_target_activated);
...
So change icon ic_lockscreen_target_activated.png

Question: So far, i understand that i must replace the PNG in the system, but where would it reside? I dont think its in an APK as such, as its the system itself (though that could be apk's aswell...?). I was pointed to this tutorial that should have info on how to do it, but the guide refers to APK-filenames, and again, whats the APK filename? I have no APK in data/app or in system/app that matches "com.android.internal" - so im quite out of luck....?
Any advice on how to proceed is welcome. I have downloaded the PNGs attatched in the ZIP, from the source (git), those are the ones i want to replace with (they are all transparrent as they should be, for my project).
Kind Regards

The image that you're looking for, is in "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi.
When you have changed the image, push framework or copy/paste it in system\framework and reboot!
For security, make a nandroid backup
Okay, so framework-res.apk, and then follow the guide i linked to, and just mirror the structure of the folders in the apk (\res\drawable-xhdpi) - correct?
Or should i unpack the apk, replace pics, resign the apk and push instead?
Also, xhdpi, hdpi, etc.. Whats the difference except the size of the images (resolution)? Is it if i have a phone with lower res, i will need the lower res images?
Thanks so far!
EDIT: You made me laugh there sir..! ALWAYS a nandroid backup! Rather 10 useless backups, than one missing..! :victory:

With winrar or similar, open the apk, go to res\drawable-xhdpi and change image.
Now, you can push framework in rom and see results
I know that change only resolution of icons in that folder
Here you go. Push to /system/framework/ and set permissions.
Don't know if it will work 'cause I don't have ICJ flashed at the moment. Make a backup before trying it.
I had to compress it before uploading because the limit was 8mb.

Well, damn it. I replaced the pngs with the files you provided, built and signed without an error. It should be OK but as I said I don't have ICJ installed so troubleshooting is a bit difficult.
Try to do it yourself with apktool.

Will do. Your apk was considerably smaller than my original, also it struck me that you cannot have guessed my version of the custom rom, and thus the correct apk to use as source. I guess it is modified on each version?

Hello.
I tried recreating the APK, using my own framework-res.apk as source.
I also found out how to push to system from CWM - you need to mount /system - DOH!
But it fails.... The phone never boots, i even chmodded the apk with 644, so the permissions are the correct ones..
Back to nandroid backup, and drawing table....
Anyone have any clue as to why the new apk failed? Followed this guide, and loaded the sources to UIsystem,apk and framework-res.apk before editing the APK.
When building the APK i got this output, and it does however not match the output in the guide - the "Could not find sources" does worry me a bit, should it..?
Found the reason for the "could not find sources":
A framework-res.apk is itself the source of other apks( when you install it - apktool if...). So the message that you got is normal.

The .apk I started with was from 1.5.9 and it was 12mb in size.
Apks tend to lose weight when they are de/recompiled and that's why the finished product was only 8mb.
If the apk method fails, you could build the whole ROM yourself on a linux PC.
Keep me posted!
Sent from my One X
Well, though i used unix before, i dont wish to put the effort into building from source It seems building in a VM fails for many, and it requires quite alot of space...
My apk also lost weight, 8 mb after rebuild.. If the image is there, it does not matter what bitdepth and other fancy settings it was saved with, right? Aslong as the apk was build correctly, and chmodded correctly, the phoen should boot, right (and display an ugly image, if it wants - but at least boot!)
Did you sign the package?
Sent from my One X
No, according to the guide i followed:
Now, final step is signing the apk file.
Remember don't sign the apk if it's a SYSTEM app, unless you have edited the AndroidManifest.xml.
