[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 :/

What line(s) in statusbar.xml need changed?

its the one with clock, only one line has the word "clock"
thx for help !

I just deleted the lines for the clock in that xml. I obviously didn't test it, so make sure you know how to recover if it doesn't work. The .zip that is attached is NOT flashable. I also put a working 4.2.x apktool in there with instructions for you to do it yourself if you want to in the future. It's pretty easy to do if you have a working apktool (I compiled this one from paulobrein's github since he edited the source to be compatible with 4.2).

Thank you dude i really appreciate..
This is, what i call help. Thanks and thanks again.
Cheers :good:
edit: i also tried yesterday with apk tool and succeed to decompile and recompile, sign the apk.
the strange thing is that the file goes from 1.5 mb to 1.12mb just by deleting one line
Indeed, it doesnt work. I dont know what's the problem

The size change might just because the zip is compressed more or less. It doesn't always mean anything is wrong. You can decompile it again and compare the contents with the original to make sure everything is there. Do you know how that mod is usually made? Is deleting the lines the correct way?

Have tried the edit myself,with SystemUI, dont sign it, open the original and copy META-INF and androidmanifest.xml over to your new file,let me know if it worked.
Just rename to SystemUI.apk and push to system/app and reboot

you didnt decompile the apk then - you probably just unzipped it
decompiling means you must use apktool to decompile the apk using baksmali
see my thread in my signature for apktool guide

rename it back to framework-res.apk and put in a flashable zip and flash in cwm with system mounted
cwm flashable template is
http://d-h.st/sr9
just open with winrar and put your framework-res.apk in system/framework

no need to resign if you havent changed the androidmanifest.xml and dont use drag2sign to sign system apps - use zipsigner from the playstore

did you mount system before you flashed the zip?
in cwm goto mounts and storage and mount system (if system is mounted it will display "unmount system")
remember if you are using a cm kernel like biels kernel you have to unmount system and remount it so its best to just unmount it and remount anyway just to make sure

Actually you no need to decompile it, just change the .apk to .zip.
The only thing to do is push the OP files into the ".zip".
After that rename .zip to .apk, and push to system.
You're done.
Hit thanks if I helped!
Note: The Z3 framework-res.apk don't have "value" this file. I tried to force push and it give me bootloop.
Note 2: Trying to use another method: compile the .apk by replace the zip.

sorry to bother you again @Pandemic I've just noticed all animations are very smoooth,but i found a small bug with the three-dot-menu animation...this animation is slow. I attached a screenshot so you will know which animation im talking about

2.Recompile and push to phone
