[Q] adding battery % mod to existing theme

I've been reading the theme guides and, time permitting, would like to start playing around. I've been comparing files from the stock theme template to crakes battery percent mod found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793805&highlight=battery+mod and have been trying to figure out how to use it in another theme. Is it as simple as adding the extra stat_sys_battery_#.png's or does something else have to be done to the framework-res.apk to get the phone to point to the added pngs? I hope thats understandable, thanks in advance for your help all!

If your theme has 1% intervals already its just a matter of swapping the png files. If the theme don't your gonna have to devompile the apk and edit 3 xml files then recompile
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

okay, ya thats what i was wondering. any help on the xml files to edit and how? i've got apk manager and have it decompiled, i dont see anything that jumps out.
EDIT: okay i've got in the drawable folder stat_sys_battery, stat_sys_battery_charge, stat_sys_battery_charge_err_vinsq, stat_sys_battery_charge_vinsq, stat_sys_battery_vinsq. my guess is its 3 of those, i guess i can just compare the stock theme with the stock battery mod to see what to do.

in general, yes, but i may not know how for these purposes. what might i be missing?

There's an even easier way.
start adb
and type adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
(grab frameworkTW-res.apk*i think* if you want it for touchwiz instead)
Next
go here UOT Kitchen
select flashable .zip
go through the stuff
upload the framework-res.apk you just pulled.
wait a bit download package and move to sd card then browse and install it and reboot.
TADA!

so how about this: i pull the xmls from crakes framework-res.apk (do i need anything from twframework-res.apk?), recompile into the framework-res.apk from the theme i'm hacking, then dump the pngs into drawable-hdpi from the % mod i want to include and just make sure theres an image for each line in the xmls. sound good?

Sounds great but just remember if your theme has any edited .9.pngs you will get errors with the framework.
What there are you trying to edit?

basically i want to work in a battery % mod into the theme from AOSP Magic (partially just to see if i can do it ). when you say "has any edited .9.pngs" do you mean if i edit any? or if the theme contains any that are already edited.

ya i'm a little confused at that point on how i'd handle that. anywhere i can read up on that?
so basically if the theme i want to mod has .9.pngs that were edited from stock, when i decompile and recompile with the new xmls its going to break something? if so, what would i do? use the battery % mod theme and dump the drawable-hdpi folder into the apk after?

What I do is modify the xml files ona stock framework. Make all the changes I need then recompile. Once compiled its a matter of dragging and dropping the pngs

[Q] How to merge several framework mods?

I'm building my own ROM, and I'm using a modified framework with some mods, but now I want to add a battery mod to that. But the battery mods are always shared in the framework file itself, which makes it impossible to merge with an existing framework, or am I wrong?
Can someone please tell me how I add a battery mod to an already modified framework file?
Thanks.

Isn't anyone going to tell me how to do it?

The best thing to do is flash and existing rom or theme. Then apply then apply any battery mod, then copy framework to your workspace and simply replace the image files with the ones that you want. There are advanced tutorial to do this from scratch but inless you have alot of timw and are confident with xml's it might not be a good option.
Hope this helps.

If all you want is just the battery mod then you can try this site
http://circle.glx.nl/
You can upload the framework-res.apk from your theme and upload it to the site.

on the end which rom do we have to choose???
I changed the Battery Icon, and Some Icons, but which rom do I have to choose on the end when I upload my framework.
I can choose between Sense Rom ( not Leoroid ), Leoroied, some other, HTC HD Rom ???

Depends on the ROM you use... Probably Sense ROM (Not LeeDroid v2.2).

I tried doing the above and it seems circle.glx.nl breaks something inside the framework file I upload causing it to fail.
I wouldn't mind manually doing it, but I can not find any source files to the battery mods, all that is there are ready made frameworks (which are useless to me) and the kitchen website.
Someone tell me how to do it from scratch please.

You dont choose a rom at the end but rather upload your own framework via the browse button. I found the editing the notification in the kitchen kills the framework for the Galaxy S as well....

That is what I did. I just need to know which files are actually changed without spending hours using diff.
Battery mod makers could easily post the images/xml's they use so I can add it to my framework manually.

XML file that controls Signal Strength Bars?

Does anybody know which file(s) generate the signal strength indicator in the status bar?
I am running the Redemption ROM, and really want to 6 bar strength indicator in Redemptive rEVOlution, but I have a couple of problems with rEVOlution that I can't get rid of, so I can't use it.

It's services.jar
It's located in /system/framework/
Be careful though, it controls other things as well.
I suggest you do a nandroid backup and then push the file using adb. That way if it doesn't work you can always fall back.
I have done this with skyraider3.5 with no issues so you should be fine.

Whats so great about the 6bar vs 4bar? Is it just really just aesthetics?

Thanks, I was hoping it was just gonna be one of the xml files in the framework-res.apk.
As to what's do great about the 6 bar meter, I don't know, I just know I want it.

I mean in all reality you could just edit the four .png of the 4bars into .png of the 6bars, only thing is you have to take out two files so say you'd make 4 bar1 into 6 bar1 4bar2 into 6bar3 ect.. I've done it to do the opposite haha I did it to get 4 bars instead of 6. but the true way is to edit the .xml and I have no experience with that at all. sorry.

Well, pushing the services.jar to the framework directory just threw my phone into boot loops, so that aint gonna work.
Anyone know which XML file and or png's I need to swap out or add.
The problem with just adding png files is that it's not really gonna give correct indications.

You need to edit HtcCdmaStatusBar.smali, which is deep within services.jar. You need to decompile classes.dex within services.jar using baksmali and go to /android/server/status/ and then edit HtcCdmaStatusBar.smali in several places, recompile with smali and put the new classes.dex back in services.jar and then push that to your /system/framework/.

Or.......you could pull the services.jar from IncROM beta4 which is posted a page or two from the end of the thread .... unless lou has something other than the power widget mod it should work just fine for ya

[REQ]% Battery Mod Only

Hi All,
So I have made a few changes to my SystemUI.apk.
There is one thing missing however, a % for the battery.
I would love to include this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400114
When I flash it however, I lose all my other mods (obviously).
I have tried removing some things, but I am really unsure what I need for JUST the battery.
If someone could provide me with this I would be very thankful.
Thanks in advanced,
Gavin

Easy peasy, its just a matter of replacing images in your SystemUI.apk
That is if it shows battery percent already.
Just OPEN the SystemUI.apk (not extract) with for example 7-zip, then browse to: res\drawable-xhdpi
Replace the images with the ones you want, and then just close 7-zip.
Look here:

HTC Sense battery mod

Looking for the HTC battery mod. I had it on LJC then I odin'ed back to stock to do the MA7 update and lost it I didn't save it on my hard drive either. Searched and searched and now I can't find it. Hoping someone has it saved and can link me/upload it!!
**EDIT**
Found all the .png files necessary to do the mod by searching the GS3 forums. Open SystemUI.apk and place them in the res/drawable-xhdpi folder.

Haven't looked too much at morphology but I don't want to download an entire theming mod.. all I want is the Sense battery.
I found all the correct .png images from the S3 forums, but MA7 doesn't seem to work the same way as LJC did.. in LJC(unless I'm mistaken) you could just decompile SystemUI.apk, replace the battery .png files in the res/drawable-sw720dp-xhdpi folder with the modded battery images, recompile, and you'd be good to go. Now that doesn't seem to work. SystemUI reloads as if no changes were made.
