Hi
I installed a custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223996). It shows the battery percentage indicator, which I would like not to see. Is there any easy way to turn it off (like change setting etc)? Or do I need to mod rom?
UOT kitchen
one way is under battery option, go to "SCB with %", and you can pick a battery without percentage
you can change other stuff if you like as well :victory:
so you mean that i need to cook the rom?
is there any other ways to turn it off for example to modify some property list?
no it's not cooking a whole new rom, read the instructions i linked again.
it's just changing a few system files, then you flash a zip. once you get the hang of it you'll find it's not difficult at all
the option to turn battery % off is available in roms like cyanogen and oxygen. if it's built into the sense rom don't think it's possible unless you flash a zip.
Thank you very much

DL appropriate mod that you desire. Flash .zip from CWM, unless directed otherwise. Done ......
You can google UOT Kitchen (dont have enough posts to link you)
It is also good for lots of battery indicator mods.
As always make sure you nandroid backup before you try anything.
Hi just wondering when I download a battery icon for example of the kitchen do I have to wipe before I flash it? Also if I decide I won't different font for example do I just flash that over again and the battery will stay?
Thanks
No you don't news to wipe. And yes the battery will stay. The fonts are just normal font files that get put in /system/fonts. The battery gets built into the framework and the framework gets replaced. Just to be safe I would backup first because I have had it where the flash has messed up.

Ok thanks for the reply mate. How come every time a flash something the battery goes back to the standard 1 so I have to flash it again?
Thanks
Also is there any way of changing the email envelope you get when you get a email? I can't seem to find anything.
Anyone any idea why when I flash some icons my modified battery goes back to standard?
why don't you ask those questions in the right place => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=990829
uot kitchen thread by mendozina.
you shpould considere what your are flashing and how... each time you flash new icons, if it's system icon then framework is replace. you should use (copy) the mod bat framework from you system to flash new icon and keep the already mod you had done.
but this is a though since you don t give a lot explaination.

Are you using the ROM files provided by UOT each time? If so, each time you make new items in the kitchen you're only over-writing those specific files when you flash it. Therefore if you choose not to change the battery mod in the kitchen when you flash new icons, you're flashing standard battery settings over the previously flashed customer battery settings.
i have similar problem,
today i have cooked my first mod, just new battery icons for status bar, status bar icons and new font. rom gets cooked w/o problems, also flashing goes as smooth as should be. the thing is, when i boot the phone no change is visible.
i didn't upload framework and system apk-s, i used IC 1.1.0. from kitchen, which is the rom i use. i did use edify script (for CM 3.x) and uncheck ThemeChooser.
i must be missing something but can't figure out what it is...any help appreciated. thx!
ok, i figured it out...flashing zip doesn't work for some reason, but adb push solved it... everything works now! for me, at least...hope it helps someone...;-)
I was wondering what the systemui.apk does?

It provides the status bar that you see at the top of the screen and the notification pulldown curtain.. among other things.
will it affect the framework or any tweaks that are in a rom if i change it?
If you are just wanting to change the hue of images (pngs).. then the answer is no.. you can do that all you want.

I pulled the system ui from another rom that i liked more. if i were to replace the one that is being used with the one i like would it effect like the battery tweaks? os is that completely seperate? thanks.... noob questions
It is very common for ROM devs to tweak that file for their respective projects. I have done basic changes like swapping out images and such without harm. (changing battery images usually)
On the other hand I have also tried mixing the systemui.apk from one ROM to another and many times it breaks the status bar. Whenever I am going to play with modding that file I keep a flashable zip containing the original ready to go to put it back in case something goes wrong.
Thanks

Also, systemui depends on framework-res.apk to run correctly. Framework editing will also make changes to the notification bar. You may have to change them as a pair. Like the other user stated, either keep a stock flashable of what you're replacing on SD or a nandroid backup prior to changing any system files because the phone may not boot after you make changes.
Well, it's always a good idea to have a current backup anyway.
OK I changed it after I backed up and it seems to be running fine

Hi every one I've got a problem.
Am guessing I've bricked my phone but as the handset won't boot I don't see how I can restore using an RUU stock ROM (Not that I really want to do that.)
Okay so have a unlocked Wildfire with a nice 8GB SD card only with Clockwork mod 3.0.6 though - dam phone refuses to upgrade.
Well have been sampling different SENSE ROMS, Wildpuzzle fine! KoolSense fine!
(Well thats to say fine as in the ROMS installed and loaded correctly.)
Come to try REMPuzzle it says to partion the SD so I do this.
I install the zip.
I reboot.
Now the dame phone switches on, displays bright white with the green htc in the centre, and then just sits there.
No 'quietly perfect', no little jingle, no nothing.
I beseech the xda community, please help a noob. I need my phone back for Monday.
Doesnt sound like youve bricked it to me so thats the good news.
Are you using custom mtd sizes? Are you sure you partitioned?
Did you do system, data, caches wipes?
Are you giving it time to boot?
By the way if you can get into recovery then you are not bricked.

easiest way to fix is :
format your sd card from pc....use fat32
them copy cm7 or cm6 on to your sd card...get the latest radio image....
boot in recovery.....clear cache,dal cache,user data,battery stats....
install cyanogenmod or kwbr....reboot from recovery....your phone will be fixed...it should boot now properly....if your gps doesn't work...flash the latest radio image from recovery...
a small advice as you are a new user try not to use ex partions...it tends to screw up the boot if not done properly.....
try lite roms like cm7 for gb or cm6 for froyo
and for sense try kwbr rom....its the best sense rom with froyo...
good luck

Are you not going to advise of backing up sdcard to pc 1st before format?
Imho and ive read up on this many times..... Battery stats wipe is pointless as they are reset automatically on charge.

oops yeah forgot....
ok did some ....research...came up with dis:
"
"The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory."
No, it does not.
This file is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings.
That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.
It has no impact on your battery life.
Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI. And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge (thus why the battery usage UI data resets at that point), so this would be a much easier way to make it go away."

Hmmmm......... haven't I or sly mentioned that in just about every single thread related to battery. People will just ignore it though and suggest wiping it as that is the only thing they can see with there eyes relating to the battery.

I've never played around with specific "mods" like this before, I've always just flashed ROMs and that's it. I'm liking LiquidSmooth, but I really liked one of the battery icons from AOKP, which was the stock AOSP battery icon but with the percent written in the middle. I guess what I'm asking is, is there a battery mod like this, and how do you go about installing it? Just flash it in recovery like anything else?
I actually found and downloaded something similar, but I'm not sure if it wasn't compatible, or if I just didn't install it right, or what. I flashed it, but when I booted up my phone, I was immediately stuck in a loop of "SystemUI has crashed", or whatever, so I had to pull the battery, wipe, and reflash my ROM.
Any help here?
