Why not go to the UOT Kitchen and make one up yourself. They have a number of battery styles so one should do the trick.
It's not difficult to do for a simple battery change. Just extract framework.apk and systemUI.apk from your Rom, go to the site, press the kitchen tab, then battery. Check "use this mod", pick the battery style you want. If that's all you want to do next click on "file upload" tab, upload the two .apks then press the "summary" tab, then the submit button. Click on the pickup page and a few minutes later you'll have a UOT apk. Just go into recovery, clear your caches and flash.
Not hard to do, and you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself and learning the 1st steps of theming.

OK I've been trying to make some themes with the uot kitchen I've got it to work right once I know how and what files to upload but the past few times I've done this it doesn't seem to work right for me this is what I do .
I pick the battery icon I want.
Then pick the icons I want.
Then the fonts.
I upload the file framework res apk for a froyo ROM.
Then submit my work and then download the uot zip.
When I flash it from ra recovery I first wipe cache and dalvik cache then flash the zip.
But when it boots sometimes I only have the battery icon and the fonts and sometimes I can see all the icons for a second when the phone starts then they go right back to the original look and I still end up with just the battery and the fonts .
Now I use the file from the ROM I'm trying to theme anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong any help would be awesome thanks in advanced for any help and just reading all this LOL.

Wondering if someone can help me. I'm looking to change my battery icons. Having a hard time finding them. Can I get a path and what I should do to change them? Can I just swap them out in a file explorer?
Thanks for any help.
What i am really looking to do is get calks battery percent in the unnamed rom. if anyone can help.
thanks

Ok i was able to extract the images from calks rom using apk manager but really dont know what to do from here well enough to try it. what would i need to do next to get the images in the unnamed file?
thanks
idk i extracted both and i cant seem to tell the difference however when i am using the roms i thought there was. who knows...
bump... I'd also like to know how to change my battery indicator. I want to have a numeric percentage up there. i don't want to install an app that adds a separate indicator either. My phone is rooted, and I'm hoping I can do it without installing a custom rom.
Gentlemen, all you have to do is download ROM Toolbox. Once installed, go to interface, then icon changer, there you can choose from a large variety of icons to replace the battery icon.

Awesome, thanks. I checked it out, and it gives a warning that not all the battery icons will work with all phones, due to different increments. Anyone know if the ones with 1% increments will work with the Epic 4G Touch?
It also says that I should do a nandroid backup first, so I'm gonna figure that out before I try out the icon change. The first "how to" that I read for doing a nandroid backup says that I need to install ClockworkMod Recovery, and to do that, "In ROM Manager, tap ‘Flash ClockworkMod Recovery’". I can't find any mention of ClockworkMod Recovery in ROM Manager. I'll look for an alternate way to install CM Recovery, but I thought I'd mention it in case I'm missing something in ROM Manager.
Use this to get CWM

I want to be 100% stock but still add a search and menu softkeys to my navigation bar. I don't want to have to flash a rom. Most of the softkey threads I looked through assume you are already on a rom and I am not.
How can I do this without a rom?

If you modify your system files, you are no longer 100% stock. OTA updates will not apply correctly in the future, FYI.
To modify your softkeys you need to modify your systemui.apk. The process shouldn't be much different than doing it on a rom.
Extract the files using root explorer, replace them, then repackage them.

The softkey .png files are in this location:
/system/app/SystemUI/res/drawable-xhdpi
You should then be able to push using adb.
But yeah, as others have said, don't do it if you want to remain 100% stock.
Use the vrtheme system. It will modify just the images, and backup whatever it modifies.
I did this on stock before. Just pull the systemUI from a rom that has what you want and flash it to your phone. You're good to go and still stock rom.
Wow, some funny responses here.
Well first off to add search and menu keys will require more than just adding images to systemUI. It will also need to have the additions of the commands added to xml and java files within systemUI.
And I would also NOT recommend just yanking a systemUI.apk from any old rom and pushing it to your device while running a stock rom with odex files.
Grow some balls and flash a rom and enjoy.
good day.

Hello XDA,
I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to change the status bar notification icon for a new sms from the standard Samsung closed envelope icon to the stock AOSP ICS square smiley face with the little tail. I have already got the icon and it is the correct size and file type (.png) and name (stat_notify_message.png) and I have tried a few ways of adding it into Mms.apk such as simply using 7Zip and decompiling & recompiling numerous times but the end result is always that the Messaging app is being removed completely and I'm having to restore a nandroid backup to get it back.
I have been looking all over XDA and have used trusty old Google to find solutions to my problem. Both come up with lots of different ways to theme, but none that solve my problem (as far as I can see anyway). Could anyone please point me in the right direction to find the guide on how to do it/explain to me how to do it successfully?
I am on a stock odexed XWLPG rom which is rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If I remember correctly, its in SystemUI.apk

Really? Any idea what the file is called and where it is? I have gone through all of the drawable folders in SystemUI.apk and there is not one in there. The only place I could find it was in Mms.apk and it was called stat_notify_message.png

What I have done in the past is put the mms.apk on your pc. Use 7zip to OPEN ARCHIVE (NOT EXTRACT), then put the NEW .png file with the correct name on your pc. Now without unzipping the mms.apk just use 7zip to find the location of the file you want to replace. Now just hold down on the new .png file and drag it into the corrext location. Then 7zip will ask if you are sure you want to replace it. Hit ok or yes or whatever it says. Now move the mms.apk back onto your phone. Use root explorer and move it to /system. Then long press on it and choose permissions. Change it to rw,r,r. Then long press again and select MOVE. Then navigate to /system/app and paste. Reboot phone. It will work.
For some .apk they are picky like mms.apk dont like being extracted and zipped back up for some reason while others have NO issues when you extract them and rezip and rename then place them in.

Is that "stat_notify_email_generic.png" in the .apk, res, drawable-hdpi, by any chance?
Although, I think RockRatt may be on the ball. He posted while I was writing this.

If you copy the drawable-hdpi folder somewhere outside the zip, look at the 'stat_notify_blahblah.png' then you can see what ones you want to change over

Thank you so much RockRatt, you have solved my problem. Words cannot express my relief, thanks & gratitude for your sound advice. I had tried what you said to do previously, but never with the permission changes. Is that something that needs to be done for every apk or just some? Thanks once again, I am so happy! What an easy was to change the icon. It looks great. See screenshots.
So anyone out there in XDA land that is looking for a quick, easy mod (provided you're rooted) then simply follow RockRatt's easy to follow guide and you will never go wrong. And give him a thanks if his guide helped you in any way!!

What's the mod and how is it installed? Does it have to be flashed by CWM? A little more info on the problem would probably help.

You can clear the cache & dalvik-cache either before or after flashing the battery mod. I'd probably try it before and see how you go.
You know how to clear the dalvik-cache, yes??
I think the problem with the VK battery files is they are from a pre jkay release. Now the Rom is using jkay framework I don't think you can flash them. It could be possible to swap the icons like the OP did though using 7zip?

sure, i know how to do that .. i'll update here
This mod is a flashable zip which was created by biohazrd51 and I. It changes the 'H' icon in the status bar to the '4G' one. See below for all devices.
Note that it works for Mimicry only. Also, you will lose this mod every time you update the rom. I will take no responsibility if you magically transform your phone into a new device, the HTC paperweight
That said, all you need to do is:
1. Download the attached update-signed.zip to the root of your sd card.
2. Reboot into recovery, and make a nandroid backup, incase anything goes wrong. (It shouldn't)
3. Then, select install from sd card, and click on the update-signed.zip.
4. Reboot and enjoy.
Any questions,feel free to ask.
*Edit* blk_jack has put together a flashable zip that'll modify the H icon to 4G on any ROM (hdpi only). This also works in JB.This doesn't actually replace the SystemUI.apk, it just replaces the icons inside it and re-zip/zipaligns it.
Download and flash through recovery:

If we have helped you, don't forget to press thanks!
blk_jack said:
Hm, which SystemUI.apk are you guys using for the base? The reason I ask is because mimicry contains many SystemUI changes that other cm9 based roms don't have. Replacing that file will break things for sure.
There are definitely better ways of doing this than providing a SystemUI.apk to flash over, though. I'll see what I can do.

It won't do that if you add addon.d support for it in /system/addon.d/ to preserve the SystemUI.apk app during updates. (course it would be better to perform the update and simply flash the zip back over it due to the type of app being modified).
Though instead what you could do is have a script in /etc/init.d/ to swap out the icons on bootup, and use the addon.d script to preserve that init script. That'll keep without having to reflash it all the time, like is already don't with google apps, or my dataswap/sd-ext enabler.
*Edit*
This also works in Jelly Bean, tested not too long ago.
