[REQ][HOWTO] Making your own battery mod?

People are using different rom's , some other are asking for specific mod etc
Could someone write some guide how to do it, to enlight those who are not aware ?

Take the framework-res.apk from your current rom and upload it to http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen
Once uploaded go to battery mod and select the battery style u want and cook it.
When its cooked extract the framework-res.apk from the downloaded file and either replace it with root explorer or push it with adb back into the phone.

Depends of which rom you are running but if you use VillainRom I think you need to open your modded framework with 7-zip and replace "META-INF" directory with the one found in the original framework of your rom. This is needed to sign the file.
However I'm not sure you use VillainRom (where files must be signed) and I didn't use yet the kitchen ... but your feedback is usefull if you want to try ...

Ok so ignore what I said upper ... should be only for signature of the rom (not needed in stock roms).
Anyway ... if someone has the solution ...

I always made that on my own...
Open the decompiled .xml in the framework-res.apk, edit those lines, add my own battery.pngs and that was all...
I didnt test it on my sgs2... But it should be the same way to get it...

could you tell which .xml to edit and what to add within the file?

I juz grab one of the batt mod out there and replace the .png files under /res/drawable-hdpi-v4 with the ones I want. guess its kind of a lazy way to do it=)

I have KE2 and get a "signature verification failed" error when trying to apply the UOT.zip file :-(
Anyone some idea how to get this applied?
Also my original framework-res.apk file doesn't have any folder called "/res/drawable-hdpi-v4" but the UOT file has!?

I dunno exactly which one it was right now but I think the battery.xml somewhere in the first 3 or 4 folders...
sorry idk it anymore ... Long time no use for :/

[Q] Edited framework-res.apk

Can anyone edit a framework-res.apk with no mods other than adding the crt animation? I've found guides on how to edit the bools file in the res/values filder inside the apk, but I can't get it to recompile the apk correctly. Can someone tell me how or send me an edited apk or something?

If you want to post your framework file, I'll do it for you and send it back.

I just posted several of these for Caulkulin's 3.0 rom. What are you using now? His framework, but with a stock battery look.

You need to check the error and see whats wrong with the framework file. Also you just want a stock framework file with crt on? Also what are you using to compile and decompile

I was using apk manager 4.9, and I have no idea how to read the log.
I attached my framework-res. It's stock from FD19, I probably should have specified.

If no one gets to it, I'll mod it when I get home.

All done. I tested on my phone. After I replaced the apk, I had to manually restart the phone for it to work. I placed your apk in a zip file before I uploaded, so make sure you unzip your apk before putting it back on your phone.

Thank you so much, it works very well.
Now I'd just like to know how you did it. Coming from a clean computer with nothing installed, what would I need to decompile an apk, edit it, and compile it again? I'm trying to get a handle on the whole thing to do some development myself.

Try and upgrade to Apk Manager 5.02 since I just de-compiled and then compiled your apk file without an issue. Also try and update everything associated with it like your java... But it seems quite fine to me
Edit: just tried yours again as well as removing animation I lowered autobrightness which is something I do on all my roms for better battery life.. Try that mod next

Do I have to do anything to set it up or is it good to go from install? Should I restart my computer?
Also where can I find 5.02? I had a lot of trouble finding 4.9 in the first place.

I've never used apk manager, so I'll check that out also. I used apktool to mod your framework along with all the java runtime files it needed to work.

Apktool confused me so I used apk manager. I can't figure out how to get apktool to work. Do you have a link to a good guide or anything?

There are some good ones on xda. I'll link you one when I get home.

I was apparently using the gingerbread method for an ICS build. Would that have kept it from compiling correctly?

This one repacked by Wanam works great for me !
Just set the compression level to 0 and increase the heap size and you'll have the same configuration as me

What are you trying to do? To extract the apk just rename it to zip, or open on 7zip to edit. I don't know much about apks, sorry.

I've tried them all and Wanam's apk manager works great. For some reason I can't compile the framework-res but system UI is fine.

lost statusbar after modifying

Hi all, first i'm sorry for my poor english and thanks to anyone can help me After long time of searching how to modify an apk, i decided to modify systemui.apk to change notification pulldown background. i was very happy when i decompile, modified and re-compile in success. And i put modified apk to phone and waiting for good result.But i lost my statusbar and home button was in wrong position ( plz look at attached image ) So i tried 2 way to sign modifid apk : use winrar add META IFF folder straight to new apk and in other way i put back resource.arc file to the new apk after extracted from it. Hmm the resut was not like i hope. So any one here can tell me which step i was wrong or something like it and how to fix to get better result
Again thank in advance to everyone :good:

It's probably the image that's wrong.

You try to flash the rom or use the Backup and then set the lock screen by the member Xda post

with this question, i see the files in your zip.
you have only extracted them, not decompiled the apk.
i think you have to learn how to decompile/mod/compile an apk

Yes...i hv extracted..when tryed to decompile i got a _src file but it was all empty...

And in some videos posted on youtube the folder had all the files present in the .apk file
