I noticed several people asking for a 1% battery mod. I de-odex systemui so I could make more changes. This flashable zip is is a de-odexed version of SystemUI.apk and will delete the .dex file. Make a backup of the file before you flash. It runs great. I am not going to re-odex the file until I'm done with my mods for easy changing purposes. Im offering this so you can have a 1% mod. Its blue circle with white text and charging animation.
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PHONE AFTER FLASH. MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING. IT WORKS FOR ME
Flash in recovery. I use the latest version of TWRP.

Is there a way to get the circle battery mod with the stock odexed rom.
Perhaps a bottle of wine and some Barry White would get them together

I assume you're rooted...if so, either go into themes and apps and check a couple of pages, or search the dev. forum for the rom and check the thread for the mods.
Do you know of any stock deodexed roms?

Yes, this thread has the stock ROM in both odexed and deodexed versions.

Thanks but I would also like a working link to a circle battery mod. Anybody know of one?
Sorry I don't have the link it is on a different computer
But here is the quick and simple. Remember just becasue it worked on my stock phone with custom Netchy Kernel dosen't mean it will work your phone
1. Nandroid
2. Flash flash1.zip
3. clear cache/dalvik
4. Reboot - Battery should no longer be there
5. Flash flash2.zip
6. clear cache/dalvik
7. Reboot now you have a Circle Battery meter
**** Now you can be done or if in your quest for a better battery you can go one step further, this changes a number of things besides battery gives you phone a little myn flavor which I like***
8. Nandroid
9. Flash evo_myn_classic___circle.zip
10. clear cache/dalvik
Note I am runing 3.70 downloaded from sprint applied manually via RA Recovery.
All the Zips were flashed with RA
****Also I take no credit for these files, I found them after lots of digging in themes section. I just did some trial and error to perfect my battery, (In hind sight it would of be easier to just put a new rom on)
I am new to rooting so I dont know how to install mods on a Rom . I have ARHD 6.3.1 . Already downloaded required mods just wanna know how to install them . Thanks in advance.
Most mods are designed to be flashed in Recovery, just like the ROM itself.
It's a good idea to backup the ROM in recovery first, as there's no "uninstall" option for these mods. So if you decide you don't want the mod, you can restore your backup to get everything back to the way it was before you flashed it.
Depending on what mods you've downloaded, most of them are usually just flashable .zips, just like the ROM itself. So you simply install them by rebooting to recovery and flashing the .zip files you've downloaded and then rebooting afterwards.
I have downloaded CRT mod , advanced power manager mod , honeycomb icons + % battery mod , beats audio(music box) mod . should i just flash them from recovery just like i flashed rom . Thanks
There's a fairly easy way to check for yourself if a ZIP file is meant to be flashed in Recovery, like a ROM.
Just open the zip file (don't extract it, just open it in your favourite ZIP program). Have a look inside and if you can see a folder called "META-INF" then you know it's a flashable ZIP file.
See the attached screenshot for an example. There might be lots of other folders inside the zip (system, data), but as long as there is one called "META-INF" then you know you can flash it in Recovery.
So I've been cruisin' around the threads here and on rootzwiki looking to mod my newly rooted Gnex and I see most of the mods are using lingo I'm not familar with. Like systemui.apk dropping files here and there. I've used root explorer and I know how to mount r/w or whatever but I don't understand what to do and how to flash these mods. is there a tutorial somewhere?
First - an .apk file is just a compressed container that contains files just like a .zip file. In fact it is a zip file with certain Android specific folder structures, files, and "signatures".
Disclaimer - I don't mod or code on the Android platform and the following is based on my understanding of how Android works.
The SystemUI.apk is an Android system file that contains Android system ui code, layouts, and ui related content such as images and etc. What the modders have done is made changes to these code, layouts, and images to modify how the Andoid UI looks.
This SystemUI.apk file resides in a specific location on your phone. What most of the modders have done is made it easy for you and packaged this file into a zip file (which is usually what they give to you as a download) that you can flash via ClockworkMod recovery to automatically replace your stock SystemUI.apk copy with their modified copy.
If you are not familiar ClockworkMod recovery is the standard for flashing Mods, ROMs, and kernels onto your phone. Since you are rooted and want to tinker with your phone you should flash the CWM recovery to your phone if you haven't already. You can look up the many guides that show you how to do this.
To flash most of the mods you would download the .zip file to the internal storage on your phone. Then you would boot into CWM recovery (there are a couple of ways to do this - do a search) and choose the "Install zip from sdcard" and navigate to the file you downloaded. Flash the zip file and the mod should be installed for you.
Note: Many of the modders that make changes to the SystemUI.apk will have packaged this file into flashable zips. By flashing these zip files they overwrite the current SystemUI.apk on your phone. What this means is that if you flash a mod on top of another mod they will overwrite each other.
ok that clears some things up for me. I do have CWM flashed (currently sporting the touch version which is sweet by the way). So when a modder talks of the systemui.apk they are not asking for the user to do anything with the files, they are just explaing how the .zip file works? I guess I got confused because I thought that's what the modder was wanting me to do (change the Systemui.apk). I would simply flash the .zip then on reboot something crazy would happen like I'd lose my softkeys or the status bar would disappear. Thank God for Nandroid but after a while you get tired of trying to flash different mods because I have to go back and restore. I am currently running Android Revolution 2.1.2 but I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

They probably want you to change the systemui.apk and then push it to your phone. If this is not done correctly your system ui will disappear. Happened to me when I was trying to mod my softkeys.

Most modders will not ask you to modify the SystemUI.apk yourself. This requires knowledge of how to package and sign the apk so it will work with Android. Most likely if the modder gives you specific details about files in the SystemUI.apk package they are just distributing information about how the modification works.
The current rom you're on is 4.0.2. I suspect the mod you flash is only compatible with 4.0.3 (most people tinkering with their phones have flashed to 4.0.3 ROMs now) and that's what caused your issues.
You don't necessarily have to nandroid - although it is very good practice. Before you flash mods if you either know files are being flashed or use a zip utility (i highly recommend 7zip) to inspect the .zip file provided by the modder you can use Root Explorer or ADB to backup the files that will be replaced. This way it would be an easy restore if something screws up. Note that this isn't 100% bulletproof since it really depends on what the mod is and what it's changing in the Android system.

Well i guess im gonna hafta upgrade then wont I
Can someone load up a stock GSM 4.0.4 systemUI? I put this mod on my phone last night that was suppose to ONLY be a battery percentage mod but ended up changing all my UI buttons. I hate it. And like a dumbass, I didn't backup before I flashed it.
So if anyone can upload a zip file of the stock 4.0.4 systemUI that I can apply via CWM would be great. ( I have the GSM nexus so I need the systemUI from it a verizon or sprint UI wont help me)
Thanks!
Hi,
Here it is:https://rapidshare.com/files/500812190/Stock_SystemUI.zip
Sweet! Thanks so much. I shouldn't need the systemui.odex file should I? If I do could you load that up for me as well?
Re,
Heu...You're on a stock rom rooted?Or a custom rom,which one?
Because,yes the SystemUI.apk I've posted is from a stock rom but deodexed...
Awesome. It works. I gave you some thanks.
Re,
Ah ok,good to hear!
I answered,but were answered at the same time ,but it works,so...
Im on stock rom. So it should have been an odex. But i flashed it in CWM and everything works fine. I had always though that if you flashed a deodex on an odex ROM it wouldnt boot, but it seems eveything is fine.
Re,
In case of issue,maybe test this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514576&highlight=odex...
Just for re-odex your SystemUI.apk?I've tested this on a deoxeded rom with no issue,but on also an odexed rom with just an app deodexed,I don't know...Backup before,if you want to test
I do not know if I was clear...?
Instead of trying to re-odex the file, why not just grab it directly from the stock image?
Download the factory images from here, extract the system.img from within, convert it to an .ext4.img by using this and then (for Windows users) use this to mount the .ext4.img and extract the file.
Know you've learned how to grab any file from the stock images in case you mess up any of your files...
HI all

if you have deodexed rom try put file systemui and quick setting to system/app in your rom.zip
and do it that same with lidroid-res and put to system/framework and save
install uset cwm but be for you must install again your deodexed rom
and when is finish push reboot and when you have your ogrinall deodexed rom turn of your fone in cwm and install moded rom with this file what you copy
this method work
