hello lads of xda
i've decided that it was necessary for a battery mod collection thread because quite a few are scattered throughout several different forums and threads. my hope is to make a one stop place for them all to be found and used. this will be a work in progress while i collect them.
*note
none of the zips contained within this thread are flashable. to install, you must pull your own SystemUI.apk from your current ROM and place the images within res\drawable-xhdpi\. if you are unable to do this, upon request, i may be willing to make a flashable for you specifically if you attach your current SystemUI.apk. your provided SystemUI.apk must already support battery percentage increments of 0-100. i am unable to decompile and add that in for you because i would have no way of testing to make sure it works correctly (i can't load everyone's different ROM just to test one apk, this would be too time consuming).
also, please keep in mind that all previews are at full res. in other words, images *should* appear sharper on your phone.
YOU CAN HELP, TOO!
you can help this thread grow and be more productive by pointing me to battery mods i may have missed. just PM me a link or post it here and i'll take care of the rest

haha not sure why that happened but possibly because the SystemUI.apk you're currently running doesn't support 0-100 battery images.
edit: doniqcc might make one for you if you ask nicely. i could make it, but i couldn't guarantee it would work, since i'm not running that ROM.
to other forum members, please make sure the ROM you are running supports battery percentage increments of 0-100.

It doesn't necessarily have to support 0-100 you just need to make sure the existing image names line up with the ones you're putting in there heh.

it does if you're wanting images 0-100 to show up. the SystemUI.apk calls these images in via xml. if the xml only supports 0,15,28,43,57,71,85,100 (a stock SystemUI.apk), and you throw images in that go from 0-100, that SystemUI.apk is still only going to call in those 8 numbers, skipping over the other images. for example, when your battery is at 50%, it's going to show an image in reference to 57. so a battery sitting at 50% but displaying an image that says it's at 57% is inaccurate haha. hope that makes sense.
alright, added a few more. there's still plenty for me to get to haha. expect another update tomorrow! thanks to those of you who have PM'd me with your own! i'll get them on here asap

Yes I know. But I've lived with 10% battery increments on the DX for ages so I know how it is. Odd that they went with 71, 57 etc =\ Stupid increments but thats a lot less to deal with instead of 200 images xD
I will send you a copy of my new battery mod when I finish it tomorrow evening.

very odd indeed. i remember when i first opened up the ICS SystemUI.apk. i thought it was a mistake or something.
but yeah it would be okay for ones without numbers. otherwise, it would annoy me personally
awesome, looking forward to it!

Very nice mods! Thank you!

Update: To try to better support all the new roms and updates, I wrote a little bat script that automates the process of adding the accurate battery mod. Read more about it here: Universal Battery Mod
Hi all, I just put together a few tweaks to the notification bar to address a few UI issues. These are for various Gingerbread ROMs, they may or may not work on derivatives or newer versions of these ROMs, so if you're going to try, make sure you have a CWM backup handy. They might work, they might not. I'll do my best to keep them updated as new versions of each ROM are released.
The mods:
1- Added accurate discharging and charging battery icons to framework-res.apk. They count from 100 down to 0 in 1% increments, with blinks below 5%. On charging, the icon turns into a plug and counts back up to 100, again, in 1% increments. I've never cared for the various circle or needle battery icons, so I made these to look as if they could be stock.
2- I edited SystemUI.apk to remove that blasted location icon in the notification bar which, in my opinion, is a totally useless waste of space. When an app uses the actual GPS, the GPS icon still appears, this just gets rid of the location crosshairs icon.
3- Next up is a 4 in 1 restart menu for stock GingerSense. No point flashing this on other ROMs since they already have it, this is just for those who want to stick to the stock ROM but want some of these features. Since I referenced several different ROMs and posts in applying this, I'm not sure who originated the mod, so the credit goes to them, whoever they are.
If you're already using a theme which has modified these files (framework-res.apk, android.policy.jar and/or SystemUI.apk), this will end up reverting anything other than these two mods back to stock. If you really wanted to be careful, adb pull these three files from your existing rom for safe keeping (system/framework/framework-res.apk system/framework/android.policy.jar and system/app/SystemUI.apk). Just be careful and, again, have a backup ready in case it breaks something else. Shouldn't, but there's always a chance. You have been warned

Cool, yea, I recently played with UOT Kitchen and it was really slow. Plus, I couldn't stand any of the battery icons. I'm going to work on an expanded power menu (adding recovery and hboot options) next. I tend to prefer a mostly stock rom, with small usability tweaks like this.
nice work. I added the GPS thing awhile ago.
Nice mod! Does this mod require S-off and root? I'd like to use this but I'm stuck on stock GB...

Yes requires s-off. You flash VIA cwm.

Thanks so much, I had been waiting on this and UOT has been staying down consistently. Great work.
I like it. Looks great with slate skin. Good work.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
Love it, I've been wanting something like this for a while. Thanks for your efforts.
I'm too curious to wait, can you tell me if the battery color will change at certain charge levels?
Glad you guys are liking it. And yea, under 30% the fill turns orange, under 10% the fill turns red and the outline blinks red/gray and I believe under 5% the outline is constant red and the fill/number blinks on and off. Something like that. The Incredible has such good battery life, I've yet to be down that far since I got the mod working

I made it for the Fascinate 7 to 8 months ago, and at some point, someone asked me for a specific blink sequence, and I don't recall if I just made him a one off version or added his sequence to the XML in a script I wrote to automatically process the framework file.
But I just checked the XML against my icons, and it works as I stated earlier.

Any way you could modify the stock Sense icons in this way? I really like the percentage and flashing low battery but I'd prefer the Sense style so everything matches (nitpicking, I know, heh). If not I'll probably end up flashing this set at some point regardless, or at least see what I can make in the UOT kitchen.
Thanks!
Yea, I'll work on that. These were built from TouchWiz icons, I'll build new ones from Sense icons. I'll probably have to make them a little taller than stock Sense to fit the numbers though.
Thanks for bring this over Chris, I used your mod back on the fascinate too. Can't wait for the sense themed version you're working on and the power button twicks!

I installed this on the Virtuous Unity ROM found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196725
and, with limited testing, it appears to work beautifully there as well.
As an added bonus it also changed the icon over the cell signal from the EVoD back to the 3G, which I prefer.
Great work, and thanks a lot!

Wow! I'm really surprised that worked, considering Virtuous Unity is Sense 3. I would have thought there would be significant changes in the framework-res between Sense 2 and 3. Be on the lookout for other things that may have been effected, but thanks for being a guinea pig!
Anyway, I updated the OP with the Sense version. I left the previous one up in case anyone prefers the blue icons. I don't mind them personally, but then again, maybe I shouldn't contaminate my Incredible with ANYTHING from the Fascinate for fear it'll start lagging and missing calls!
thanks for the sense verson Chris, downloading now!

Solution? Not yet.
Temp solution, send yourself a e-mail and dont read it, so when you start your phone you get a notification.
If you want to use the code you can decompile stock apk and modded apk.

Flashed both versions, each showing the time in the normal place.
The time does change to bold though, it just doesn't move to the centre.
*Note: this is for the Nitro from AT&T and apparently is not compatible with other versions of the p930*
*I made this before any of these new roms came out and as such it was meant for and has been tested on only the stock Gingerbread rom that comes with the phone. I doubt it will be compatible with the new roms.*
SEE Blue Icons and removed carrier logo! for instructions. Installing this SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk works exactly the same way as in that thread!
*SAME DISCLAIMER*
I AM NOT A DEV! I just like tinkering with how things look because I'm extremely picky. I am not smart enough to figure out how to save someone's phone if it gets bricked, I'm just sharing what I've played with since I want this forum to grow =). So everything I say, you are welcome to try, but keep in mind that it can always hit the fan, especially right now, while we still don't have a recovery mode yet. And since I lack the omniscience of the all-seeing all-knowing devs, I cannot be held responsible for what happens to your phone, if something undesirable (*ahem*, bricking) should happen! That said, everything I've done here I've done multiple times and tested, and it seems to work just fine in my hands so long as instructions are followed precisely. But regardless, try at your own risk! Until we have a nice recovery mode set up, you have to be willing to live on the wild side to mess with this phone, which apparently, a lot of us are...
This is a modification of my previous thread "Blue Icons and removed carrier logo!" Thanks to [email protected], I incorporated the individual percent onto the battery icon I previously used in this set. I didn't end up actually using the framework he posted since I wanted to include my other modifications, but since he was brave enough to try UOT kitchen modifications on his phone and it worked, I decided it'd be safe to use UOT to modify my own framework-res.apk to add the proper xml's for 100% battery (I tried doing it manually... possible, but oh my god, oh so painful). I then changed all the pngs for each battery to ones that I made (individually =P) from splicing the blue version of the stock icon battery with the percent value.

}
So attached are the SystemUI.apk and the Framework-res.apk for installing the blue icons with no carrier and now, with % on the battery. It will look like this on your phone:
***If you've already installed the blue icons with no carrier from my other thread, then to add the % battery, you ONLY NEED TO INSTALL THE FRAMEWORK-RES.APK. The SystemUI.apk is identical to the one used for "blue icons - no carrier". If you're starting from a stock phone, then install both.***
Instructions are the same as my previous thread.
**If someone wants a framework-res.apk that changes NOTHING in the phone, adding ONLY % to the stock green battery icon, let me know. I don't mind doing the work, but only if someone actually wants it =)**
Thanks again to [email protected] for showing me that the UOT % works for this phone and letting me tinker with his apks! =)
Just to add, this works just fine with the blue icons with carrier SystemUI.apk as well.
Thanks again for your hard work on this!

Great! Glad it worked well for you! =) Thanks!
Call me greedy, but when clock set to 24H, on either side of it is so much wasted space.
Here is my attempt remove that extra space which allow more icons on the status bar:

Vano, can you kinda give a quick walkthrough as how to accomplish it? I dont wanna brick my phone from doing the wrong things.
also, to both u and itiskonrad, is it just me, or the phone kinda takes a bit longer to boot up ever since I replaced systemui.apk? I feel it takes a few seconds longer than wat it used to be. Not a problem at all, just wondering if it was just me.
Just use instructions from this post: Blue Icons and removed carrier logo!
And use my SystemUI.apk file instead.
My phone takes about 30 seconds after screen goes black and before animations shows up, then another 30 seconds goes through the animation. I do think it was booting much quicker the first time I started it, but since then I've installed bunch new apps.
I can't say I notice a difference. Mine was quick to boot when it was still pretty bare, but I didn't change the SystemUI.apk until after I'd put all my programs and everything onto it, which already slowed down startup. Maybe there is a difference and I just don't notice it...? Not sure
Cool beans Guys! Thank you.
Just did this to my phone the other day, its awesome! This is perfect for me since all i look for in a ROM is stock look with speed and a battery percentage mod.
Great! Glad you like! Let me know if there are other random mods you'd like. There's something addictive about fiddling with xmls =) I've also been removing the carrier from the lock screen, getting rid of buttons that bother me... I think I have too much free time
@itiskonrad:
Do you still copy modified .xml files after they were compiled into "original" .apk?
I could use my compiled version before I tried deoxed process, since then (even though nothing has been changed on the phone) it bricks my phone every times I recompile original SystemUI.apk, even if I don't change anything, just decompile and compile.
Can't figure out what's wrong...
Yeah, pretty much.
Long story short, I never use recompiled SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk in the phone. I don't trust them to not brick my phone, and I don't want to have to go through the effort of unbricking it. I always decompile original apks, change the XMLs I want, recompile the apk JUST TO RE-ENCODE THE XML, not to use the actual whole apk, and drag and drop the modifications (any changed XMLs or swapped PNGs I want to keep) back into the original apk that was never decompiled to begin with, just to be safe =) This way, I've never had a bricking issue
I did this to my phone today with ZERO issues. Thanks! It's perfect! Exactly what I wanted when I bought this phone. I'm a total noob at this stuff, but if you know how to navigate a computer and have basic copy/pase/move skills, this isn't hard at all.
EXCELLENT write up OP!

I'm interested..!
After the change SystemUI.apk & Framework-res.apk, I noticed a small problem in ringtones setting - ringtones list has duplicate. I mean that is all the audio files in the phone (system/media/audio/) are also displayed in notification ringtones and phone ringtones (now notification ringtones and phone ringtones has the same audio files). Is there swapping the SystemUI.apk & Framework-res.apk could affect this?

Haha, okay, I'll get right on it. You know this will wipe the changes you did to your lock screen, right? You'll just have to re-swap the lock pattern png's and xml's and stuff again, to get the minimalist lock screen back, that's all. If you REALLY want, I can make one just for you with those changes included, I guess =P

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Is there not something in the marketplace?
There are apps that can add an additional battery icon with percentage, but replacing the stock one with percent is unfortunately not so easy. I'm almost done with it, I got distracted with stupid work =) I'll post it here later today- stock everything, even battery, just with an added percent value on the stock battery icon.
You can thanks my addiction for automating processes, as i made a tool to create 101 battery images out of 2 (Full & empty) images,
add the percent to them, make a recharging images and resize them to the correct ratio.....
repack them into the systemUI.apk and into a flashable zip
All With a Click..
one day i plan on releasing that tool... but ill keep it exclusive for me for now
I Made These For ARHD 9.X
but they should work with maXimus v3.0 (can anyone confirm this please or even if you attempted on a different base 2.17 rom) as they have the same base & systemUI.apk as ARHD 9.1
you could try it with any rom with base 2.17 but i cant guarantee it'll work.

i know some of them are wide and unconventional but they work very well with the HOX and i like them and trust me, you should try them.
You Can Thank Fightspit For The Coloured Sense Icons
Thanks to j4n87 For Pointing me on How To Enable EQS for base 2.17
Special Thanks To The DeviantArt Members and their names is in the attachement for creating the battery icons
Thanks To Me for creating the 101 battery icons out of them, adding percentage, creating charging icons, repacking them and providing them to you
Taking Requests,
i will only add battery icons and will not be removing the Coloured Sense Icons,
all you have to do to make a request is post 2 pictures of the same battery, one is empty and the other one is full,
and should have a resolution higher then or equal to 48x48
and ill create a mod out of that.
You are great

so i leave it to the people who appreciate my work to keep it alive,
but ya im cool like that
a friend of mine told me that his IT lecturer told him to be a sucessful programmer you must be lazy....
and God knows how lazy i am... just like at what i do... one click automation
just to keep you and everyone in the game,
i'm working on 3 projects at this very moment,
1) update to my flashing tool... working on apk installer & kernel/recovery installer by clicking on the APK/IMG file (and much more)
2) battery mod creator... & repackager.. currently past phase 1 & 2 (image processer & batch image processor for creating the icon) and onto the final phase
3) much simpler one... for when we get s-off... this is way too simple to reproduce so i'd like to keep a tight lid on it until release
4) i have few battery mods i plan on release once my tool is fully working
4) a private one which i can't speak of on such a public place (this you'd wish it never gets near you )
.... so how's that for spamming

How to make your own animated battery
A Beginner's Guide You can do this for MK3 stock-based builds ~ i.e. the MK3 builds of MOAR or Wicked Sensations
News! This guide was featured on the news portal!
For example, this animated gif shows the battery charging animation from the one I made for myself. It uses my own app icon plus a google-like cube I drew. The animation I made looks like this (view in browser or click image). Fun for me...

This is actually very easy once you see what you have to do. The time-consuming part is editing 203 tiny images. Okay? Check it out.
Update: You can also make a huge animated battery - more space for more detail. Be creative! You could make all sorts of different animations with more space. I have ideas. I'm sure you can be creative. I made one with my google-ish theme. It looks like what you see here. If you want to make a gigantic animated battery, follow these same steps in this OP and just use the correct template file below. See also here for more info on the gigantic animated battery.
First get these things:
1a. Download this file Template_Animated_Batt.zip. for regular sized animated battery: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407569005
1b. Download this file BIG_Goog_Anim_Batt.zip if you want to make a gigantic animated battery: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407576520
2. Get 7-zip if you don’t have it. Free here: http://www.7-zip.org
3. Get Paint.net if you don’t have an image editor that can work with transparency/alpha layers and png files. Free here: http://www.getpaint.net/
4. Find or create two different images to use as a base. This is the reason you’re doing this, because you want a certain thing. Find or create two images that you want to use for this. You’ll use one image to make the 101 images for unplugged percentages. You’ll use the other image to make the 102 images for the animation when plugged in. They need to be 45 px X 45 px, transparent png files, or you can make them into that. For gigantic animated battery they need to be 42 px X 84 px wide, or you can make them into that.
Once you have your two base images at the correct size for your desired animated battery sequence, let’s get you started on the little bit tedious part…
Do these things:
1. Do not unzip, just navigate into your template zip to this folder:
Vrtheme/system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi
2. TAKE THAT FOLDER OUT to your desktop or something (drawable-xhdpi)
3. Look inside that folder. Replace all of those images with whatever you are creating for your own animated battery image set. (That part can take a while.) You must use the exact file names for every one, and use the same image size as what I have in there. Just “save as” and double click on each one to replace, so you’re certain to not change any of the file names by mistake.
4. After you’ve done all your images, drag that shiny new drawable-xhdpi folder back into the zip file. Close the zip file. Rename the zip file so you know it’s the one you just made.
5. Make a backup then flash that zip to check out your work.
Or if you are a visual person, I recorded making one that I wanted to make for myself. Not my best video, don’t judge, but a quick thing if you need to see it happen. I had a robot voice do the talking in the video too, for no particular reason other than it’s funny to me. The video refers to the regular sized animated battery. Making the gigantic animated battery is the same process. Just use bigger images.

I see some downloads and video views. Anyone have a screenshot to show off your creations for animated batteries?
New Question...
Any interest in a tutorial for how to create your own custom toggles? Not talking about just replacing the image behind them but actually drawing the individual toggles out how you want? Let me know. Lots of creativity around here and I'm glad to support that. And newbies don't need to sit back and not take part in things like this kind of basic theming. I'll set ya' up.
Such as this example.

Okay, right on. I'll put it together in a few days. I think I don't need to start a new thread for a new tutorial of this nature. I will just keep it in this thread and change the title when I add the tutorial on drawing and replacing toggle images. I hope people will notice it's here!
I'll use the same format - explaining in steps plus making up a video demo with the robot-voice, same as what I put in the OP here. I'll do that unless someone has a suggestion for a different format. No need to reply unless you have a request or suggestion for how to make the toggles tutorial better than like what you see in the OP for the animated battery tutorial...
Otherwise, stay tuned.
Hey OP, how do you edit the SystemUI to show the charging pngs sequentially? The thread I followed to get the charging animation to work on my ROM has it only switching back and forth between the tw_stat_sys_battery_charge_x and the tw_stat_sys_battery_x
Hi Chad, I'd have to look it up, but rompnit and dazed already have it in MOAR and Wicked. So this is just a newbie guide about image editing and morph zips to replace existing images in the ROMs that have these things already.
I made a Superbowl battery and shared it on both threads, and got inundated with emails from people asking me to make these for them for their own teams. Thought I'd show the few hours of work involved in what they were asking me to do for them, while showing them that it can be time consuming but it is actually simple. Dat's about it.

You'll need to edit the 'stat_sys_battery_charge.xml' in the drawable folder.
Now, if only we can get someone to port all of these cool "Samsung only" features to other devices (specifically the RAZR HD, cough cough)...
I made a new, oversized animated battery for my own phone. I'm into this google-ish theme I've been working on, so here is another fun animated battery if anyone wants it. It has a sort of flickering lightning bolt for under 30, and then four google-color cubes that fill in from left to right. Unplugged images are the same in this one but you can always make them different if you want for your own.
This is an animated gif. If viewing on mobile, click thru to view animation:
Download here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407576520
This works on Wicked Sensations MK3 to add some goggley color variety to your theme.
My screenshot shows it on MOAR MK3. To use this oversized animated battery as your stock battery in MOAR:
Go into Settings -> My Device -> MOAR Mod control - Battery Settings -> change color to white and uncheck alpha.
Backup first in case you don't like it. I like it. :good:
If you want to make a huge animated battery image set for yourself, follow the steps in the OP. Instead of using the template ZIP in the OP, just use my flashable zip fle from this post. Replace all of my images with your own of the same size, one by one. The little video in the OP walks you through how to do that. Enjoy.
Won't let me thank you but this looks awesome! And I love the Google themed stuff BTW, if you've got anymore.
Good stuff! :good:
