Yea i decompiled our values/public xml added a bunch of lines for the new battery images and cant get it to recompile lol. I love the touchwiz pulldown...maybe i should hit up dreams and see how hard it would be to make them for a non touchwiz phone lol. He buolt them for the nexus lol.
But yea i need to see if i can get the xml to recompile. Already edited the services.jar file to add the battery smali needed for the mod to work on the atrix. After that tried the xml editing and cant get it to recompile lol.

Guys, just so you know, i loaded this the new homebase rom with update, and it has the battery percentage as 1% thank god!!!

Making an attempt...
I'm still a noob so pardon me if i'm not really adding anything here. I'm going to try to make the mod. So far I've:
1) Downloaded apktool
2) Decompiled the framework-res.apk file
3) Went into stats_sys_battery.xml and added the lines for each percentage
...LOL that's where I'm at and this'll take a while...so sorry if I'm taking a long time with this...I also just saw that last post about having the 1% mod on the home based rom...****! LOL! Well, if anyone's interested, I'll still give it a shot...hopefully i don't brick my phone.
4) Went into UOT Kitchen and downloaded some battery icons (now i have all charging/status icons...I didn't want to make it myself)
5) Wondering if I replace stats_sys_battery.xml with my modded one, recompile, that it would work?

If you use minimalistic text, it shows battery level in increments of 1%

Any updates to this mod
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

any updates at all?

What ROM do you need the mod for? If you're talking Joker's skinny ROMs, then you can flash those as they have the % mod. Also Rangerbry posted the % mod way back for BLUR Roms. If you're talking ICS. Not ready yet, though I had extracted the systemui.apk and decompiled it, made my xml edits. but apktool doesn't compile the unrecognized ICS yet, so right now, we're stuck.

You probably need to update your apktool. I believe ICS support was added back in December.

I was on 1.4.3 when i tried it, but maybe I'm just messing up somewhere with it. I installed framework-res.apk, systemui.apk's and decompiled the System apk just fine, made my edits, but when I built it, a **** ton of errors popped up.

To see if its your environment or your edits, decompile and don't make any changes then recompile. Depending on the results you'll have your answer.

Help with editing a battery icon!!

Ok so I wanna start off by saying that I'm not new to flashing roms/kernels/themes however... I have never tried to edit a theme..
I am currently running BAMF 1.5 and I love everything about the rom except the battery percentage icon.. I find myself OCD'ing about the battery drain if I can sit there and watch % by %..
I did attempt this but was not successful.. What I did was downloaded BAMF 1.5_debloated which is totally stock.. went into the framework-res.apk pulled the battery.png's... I then went into the framework-res.apk of BAMF 1.5, deleted the battery icons 0-100 (1%-100%), and replaced them with the png files that do no have a battery % on them. saved the framework-res.apk and then basically placed it back in the whole rom which i then reflashed.. what i found was that while the phone was charging it looked fine (did not edit these icons) but once i removed the charger the battery icon just dissapeared..
to make it a bit easier to follow.. essentially i grab the battery png files from one ROMS framework-res.apk and replaced another ROMS framework-res.apk battery pngs with them..
my question is basically, am i even close to accomplishing my goal or am i waaaayyyy off??
thanks in advance!

I had a feeling that was the issue.. I found that file and wondered how I was supposed to edit it.. I opened it in note pad and got a bunch of gibberish..

2 options:
you will have to decompile the the apk using apk manager or the like. or you can cheat and take a xml from a rom that is completely stock and replace it in your modded apk. and throw it back in the rom and flash

Part of the reason is that the stock ROM doesn't have 100 battery icons.
Another option would be to replace the icons with a set that don't have the numbers on them.
I personally don't care for the numbers either, that's one of the first things I change.

If you deleted the battery icons and then put the battery icons from a stock ROM then you don't have all of the icons.
The stock ROM doesn't have 100 battery icons.
It goes like: 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100
Or something similar.
Open your edited apk and double check your numbers.
Other than that, did you use 7zip or winzip?

Yeah there was definitely less icons. I actually used win rar.. I'd prefer to have a battery that has increments of 10 percent with no % but idk what rom/or theme uses one like that..

[Q] Gingerbread Icons

i saw a post once that said something about changing the icons in the status bar to gingerbread and also had the option to remove clock and recent apps.
it said something like...
gingerbread Icons v4 (no recent apps)
does anyone know where it went?
i googled and all that came up was roms being ported over from gingerbread.
once these icons get found... im prolly gonna post an update to my theme.
thats why i need them! :O

My SupraMOD has this, get V3, V4 is unstable. You can grab it from my site (sig) or check this forum.
SupraMOD has a NoClock.zip which you could edit to your liking. And it has no recent apps in it also, so you can pull that as well.

i've modded synergy alot but i still need to find out how to make the quick settings transparent. i cant find it in any xml
once we find out how to do that,
THC (Ganja) 2.0 will be release.
only for synergy though
then bamba1260 will release his version for MG on supra
if only someone knew how to make synergy menus transparent.

Have you tried using UOT? Edit it and put in all 3 files, then extract the APKs from the output and use them.
So you make your Theme with UOT.
Upload all the needed files (3 of them: SystemUI.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, framework-res.apk)
then you let it cook the theme.
Once you download the ZIP, Extract it
There you have the APKs you need for your Theme

Yup but so far for the Rezound it is battery mods only.
Battery mods are the biggest part, is over 200 images to do it 1 by 1 is killer, I've done it and it sucks.the rest of the theme building is pretty easy and less tedious. I nominally use uot for the battery then build from there. glad to see they got it going. I've been itching to builds some themes for this phone, once I get the time I plan on getting a few out there

That's right, you only need to decompile/recompile if you're updating XML or changing icon sizes(since you have to move alignment).

Has anyone tried using the kitchen via your phones browser rather than PC? I've tried using a bunch of browsers, dolphin seems to be the only one to do anything when clicking "select file"to upload. It opens flash, says in uploads, and no files found. By chance does this use a specific directory to upload from? If so, where?

Blue mod for CleanRom GBE 1.7.5 (v1.0) (4-12-12)

Hey guys,
I know I'm a little late to the party, but I've been working on this for my own sake for quite a while and figured I'd post it. Its a blue mod (33b5e5) which I think is the ICS color. Also, I changed the battery using the UOT kitchen. This is for CleanRom GBE 1.7.5! This is the first time that I have done anything like this so if there are any suggestions just let me know.
Edited apk files:
Calendar.apk
com.htc.resources.apk
framework-res.apk
HomePersonalize.apk
HtcContacts.apk
HtcDialer.apk
HtcListen.apk
HtcLockscreen.apk
HtcMusicEnhancer.apk
Mms.apk
MyTask.apk
Phone.apk
Settings.apk
SystemUI.apk
Screenshots:
Attached
Changelog:
V1.0:
-Changed the SystemUI xml files to #33b5e5 - see last 2 screens
Download:
As always, make a nandroid before you flash this through recovery.

Thanks!!:
scrosler for the great ROM!!
I'm so far beyond GB that it's not even funny, but this looks really nice Thanks for all the hard work
Hahaha, I know. I figure that once the official ICS comes out I will do a mod for that as well. I just dont want to flash the leak, especially when the OTA could be so close...just in case there is something stupid that they decided to have downlevel from the leak.

I think the HtcDialer.apk, but not 100% on that. There is a .9png labeled: phone_btn_call_rest.9 that I think is it. I honestly just went through most of the apks and changed them and flashed it at the end to make sure nothing looked weird anywhere.

After you decompile and then are ready to compile it again, are you trying to sign it? I read that doesnt work and you dont need to sign for htc apk files.

Change lock screen unlock icon

I'm trying to change the unlock icon to something a little more jellybean looking. It just seems funny having those nice icons next to a plain white symbol. I'm having trouble recompiling the framework-res.apk. I'll try again tomorrow after work to get a flashable zip posted
For anyone who wants to attempt this them self the icon PNG file is located at

Here's the rough icon I made as well at 244x244 pixels, the same as the original. Not great but its a start

I'm trying to change the unlock icon to something a little more jellybean looking. It just seems funny having those nice icons next to a plain white symbol. I'm having trouble recompiling the framework-res.apk. I'll try again tomorrow after work to get a flashable zip posted

Looking nice...you really don't have to recompile the apk in this case...just 7zip the new icons in the proper folder and good to go...just saying...

Well that makes it easy, thanks. I'll still get it in zip format so everyone can just flash. I'll work on the icons a little more too.
A jelly bean android icon would be cool. Just a thought
I like it!

Can you make a small tutorial for this? because I'm a noob when it comes to put things in the right place.

While you are waiting for the tutorial you will need to root your phone and install Root Explorer or another file manager so you can place the files and change permissions of files.
Sorry ive been busy the last few days and tonight I moved my work over to my Linux box and had to reinstall the SDK, adb and apktool all over again. I was getting boot loops when trying to do it without the proper tools plus I need em to make flash able zips. I might have something up tonight as I'm busy with work tomorrow and then borderlands 2 gets released at midnight so I won't be getting any sleep.

can i have the detailed way of how to change the image for the lock and not the unlock target? i did go to the specified location but the default image file in the .png format extracts itself and i do not know how to replace it.

I also want to change it on my phone, any luck getting it done?
Use vrthemer to flash these mods. The scripts automatically update the apk with your images. Use one of the lockmods I made in the 4.2.2 lock mod thread to see how the folder structure is set. Its easy as pie
