Looking to remove the stock battery icon, leaving only the battery percentage showing. Is this possible without root? I've rooted a lot of phones recently but didn't want to do this one yet...

This would be nice. I'm sure the deb's will ad this to there custom roms in time. That battery icon is so annoying.

I've never really looked into removing the battery icons. I always use icons with the battery percent in them but just a quick thought. You could make all the stock battery images transparent so they don't show.
Edit: Also, if you find a battery mod that you like but it's not for your device let me know and I can make it for you.

I was just playing around to see if I could get it to work and what do you know it did.. lol
I got the idea from when sometimes my battery disappeared on 1 of my theme and to find the reason was because somehow my battery xmls would get borked. So what I did is just delete the stat_sys_battery.xml from the SystemUI.apk. It's found in the res\drawable folder, I left the stat_sys_battery_charge.xml and the battery still shows when plugged in so I'm guessing if you delete that too you wont have any of the battery icons.

I didn't even think about that. I would imagine if deleting the battery xml got rid of the battery icon then deleting the charging xml would get rid of the charging animation as well. Very cool.

Use 7zip to open the apk, (don't extract) then navigate to the folder I mentioned and delete the stat_sys_battery.xml and the stat_sys_battery_charge.xml if you also don't want the charging battery to display. Close it after you're done and add it back into your phone's system\app folder using something like root explorer, then fix permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Also make sure to rename your current systemui.apk to systemui.bak in case something goes wrong with the new one, and if it does you can just delete the new one and rename the old one back to .apk

It's located in system/app. I've never used winrar so I can't say but I'd imagine it would. I will say though if your going to be doing any more stuff like this 7-zip is a must have in my opinion. It's one of the first things I install on a new pc. If you run into trouble and foreverloco isn't available feel free to pm me.

I'm looking for the status bar icons that come with vanilla Gingerbread. Like the ones in CM.
Also, would like to know where I should copy them to.
I tried looking inside the CM7 zip, but couldn't find anything that looked familiar.
Anyone knows if it can be extracted somehow from the CM7 ROM and be used with the stock rom?
Yes, theyre in system/systemui.apk
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Thanks! Found it. It's actually: system/app/systemui.apk
The folder structure is obviously different from the stock rom. Anyone have an idea how I replace the existing icons?
Use 7zip to open the apk and replace them in system/res folder i think it is

There is no res folder inside "system". There's a res folder in the root, but there's only one file called "encryption"

I've found it. I tried modifying the stock SystemUI.apk by replacing the icons in it with the ones from the CM7 rom. I then replaced the original SystemUI.apk with the modified one using Root Explorer, but by doing it the SystemUI process force closed leaving me with no status bar. It remained without status bar even after reboot.
So I guess this is not as easy as it seemed to be. I don't want to mess around with the root folder anymore, so if anyone has a flashable zip that can replace the status bar with AOSP icons I would greatly appreciate it!
Really easy to do, next time change the permissions then you wont get FC but if you have the odex version of the update heres the link to get the icons. Its by mikeyinid towards the bottom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20377172

Thanks to theHOTNESS for the original mod on the AT&T Skyrocket; agat63 & ssconceptz for putting up with my PMs while I tested smali edits and sextape & sfhub for the awesome leaks!
After digging through the smali files from Samsung, they seem to have changed between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 and there doesn't seem to be a quick edit to remove AM/PM. However, luckily for us the 4.0.3 modded smali works just fine on 4.0.4!
For devs:
Here's the Clock.smali you need:
http://d-h.st/iew
Drop it in com/android/systemui/statusbar/policy in the SystemUI.apk (or the classes.dex from System UI) and go!
For everyone else:
Here is a modified SystemUI.apk for stock, deodexed FF02 including this mod and nivron's 1X/3G mod:
http://d-h.st/LSv
Rename to SystemUI.apk and push to /system/app. I'll try to make a flashable ZIP later on, just not at my home PC to do it right now.
Thanks for this. I will include this in my next update with credit of course. You da man.
Awesomeness. I've been waiting for this for so long.
Thanks for this mod! Do you know if there is a way to remove the battery percentage? I tried using other battery icons but the percentage is not part of the icon it makes using other icons useless.

You need to replace the Clock.smali file with the one in the OP... still works on FF18 and I can upload a modified SystemUI.apk for that one if needed.

I'm not liking all the changes the programmers made to the ICS xml and smali files either. I'm glad this workaround works too.
Good to see you got it working.
So if I wanted to remove it without losing my themed status bar what where and what lines would I edit?
Because if I'm not mistaken, what you have in the op simply replaces what's already there so I would lose theming.

The OP is correct. The safest thing to replace/edit is the clock.smali in the systemui.apk.

U have to decompile systemui.apk .. its a .9 image therefore to edit it u need to edit in its decompiled state and only edit the color itself.. u cannot touch the black pixel boarder because that black patch is what tells the image how to stretch when phone is in portrait or landscape mode.. the image is called status bar close on.9 or something in the drawable xhdpi folder.. I will look into it but I'm not on jellybean yet

Ok I already had a decompiled jb systemui and framework res folder on my desktop and I looked and by the name youre giving it a pretty good size transparent square with a 66x66 block in the middle.
I looked through framework and I found status bar background files one of which is 7x1365 so if it was tailed across the screen would be about the right size. making transparent is no problem at all. getting the apk built after the fact might be trouble since apktool is being a flaming piece of **** the last few days.
I will try

Use apktool to decompile the apk and you'll see the icons there, to break it down even further
If the rom your on doesn't currently have the battery percent then you'll also need to modify stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml which is in res/drawable to look for all the additional png's. If your not sure what I'm talking about or how to do it let me know and I'll upload the right xml's for you.

I wouldn't recommend using them unless there using something like the Villain Theme System which only replaces the images and some xml's instead of replacing the entire apk. I just got home so give me a few and I'll send you the xml's you need to use and you 'll be fine.

The standard way of theming is open the mms. Apk in a zip viewer. Either win rar or 7 zip, then find the area that holds folders named draw able hdpi. Extract ONLY THE ICONS AND IMAGES You want to change. Font extract the whole apk. Then, open the images in photo shop or any editing program, change the colors as you please, save, (DONT CHANGE IMAGE NAME OR TYPE), then drop them back into the apk in the folder you found them and save changes to the zip. Once that's does, go into system/app, rename the end of the name .Bak. So apkname.Apk.bak
Then just copy and paste it into system app and then give it correct permissions if it doesn't already and then reboot
