[Q] Custom Battery Animations - Android Themes

Hello all... I'm trying to add a custom battery charging animation mod to a ROM. I've grabbed all the png files and what I believe is all the correct xml files and put them in my framework-res.apk but the charging icons won't show. The regular battery icons with accurate percentage numbers show perfectly though. When I first started this transformation, I forgot to put the charging png's in but I put the customized xml in and the animation icons showed but were incomplete. Now with what I believe to be all the correct files, the charging icons won't show! ....
I don't have any FC's of any kind, just can't see the charging icons.

why not use UOT kitchen?

I have the same issue as the OP and I can add something to this. UOT only does 0-100 charging. Many custom charging themes/.png's are 0-33. Not sure if OP has this same issue but it's related. Plus the UOT frameworks usually have the 'v4' folder. Not sure if those XMLs point to them or not.

few weeks ago i had problems with this to and this is the easiest way to change battery icons:
download ninjamorph from market
create new project in ninjamorph => /system/framework/framework-res.apk
connect phone to ur pc
go to ur sdcard/androidthemes/frameworkresapk/res/drawable-mdpi/
paste ur new icons in there ( make sure they have the same name as the old onces)
then disconect phone from ur pc , go to ninjamorph => finish project => framework-res , press 2x yes and then waite until it reboots
hope this helped ( if so you can thank me ^^ )
oh and btw make sure u do a nandback before finishing the project

[Q] How to mod framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk

Hi guys,
Wondering if someone can give me some clear directions how to add battery icons (knowing that the resource IDs of the images are not stored in public.xml - it doesn't exist in samsung's framework-res.apk) and how can I change text colors (basically replace black with white and vice versa) and where should I change these values.
Thanks a lot!
Common themers, I know you know, you just don't wanna share
Joking I would really like to start themeing as well and these are the only 2 issues that I have at the moment.

Hm, I did, I de-compiled the apk but did not want to compile back. Probably the images are not Draw 9-patch-ed. However, I still need to find out how to change the text color...

You can change the battery icons in the framework-res.apk [look in the res/drawable hdpi/stat_sys_battery_x.png
and to change the text color: I was trying to figure that one out last week....From what I figured out you need to modify:
res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml
Which is found in your framework-res.apk aswell....Decomplie-edit-recomplie....
Good luck
what program are you using to edit your xml's?

i change icons and stuff in framework by just using 7zip. No need to decompile or sign, or any of that. Super easy. Not sure about changing text color, tho.
If your just wanting to do simple changes (no .xml edits)
You can use WinRar to open the framework-res.apk and find the *.png's you want to replace.
Then copy/paste the new images over the old ones inside of WinRar.
Close.. and install.
But thats for quick and dirty changes. For more intricate stuff - animations etc. that require *.xml edits - do what the above folks say
No way..
OK, just decompiled-added icons from other decompiled framework-recompiled, no xml edits-installed. Look is changed, battery icons now displaying fine but... force closes and restarts the shell in less than 20 secs...
yup try the winrar method - there is no decompiling.. just copies the images into the *.apk
And shouldn't have any FC's if you try that method.

Shoot me a link to the icons you're trying to use. What ROM are you using(name & version). What text are you looking to change? There's not one global change to make all the text different I'll need to know what specifically you're trying to change.
I use the uot kitchen you get the icon on perception 7,but im on 8 now. I'm running perception 7 darknees 2.3 theme, and that is what i'm trying to get the icons on its the battery icon of the android smiley faces it is version j with white numbers. i'm going to look for a link for them.i have the framwork-res.apk with them in it.
When you recompile with APK Manager, a couple of things are very important to do:
1. Hit yes to "system app".
2. Hit yes to restoring the files:
-Open the "keep" folder and delete resources.arsc. Then delete anything you changed (if it's there).
3. Do NOT sign it.
It should work.

Do you just individually edit each icon? Cause I can't find a way to copy in a folder. I'm pulling the icons from the 2.3 framework, but i just want to copy over the drawable folders for now.

I just dragged the images from a particular themes framework and dropped them to the new one all within 7zip.

How can I mix different themes?

Hi guys.
I've been using the Elegance Theme by Erestor6 for some time now, but I find I would really like a white status bar.
So I went to the UOT Kitchen and designed my own.
It's not refined like the work of Erestor, but it will do for me.
Problem, in the first attached image you can see the result of my UOT kitchen mod.
It's nice but the default switch buttons don't fit.
In the second image you can see the wonderfull Erestor work.
I would like to have his switches and my status bar. How can I do that?
Also in the third image you can see a problem: whenever a phone call is started, the status bar turns black again. I suspect it's embedded in the dialer apk.
Can anyone help me in fixing these issues?

the toggle buttons are stored in systemUI.apk, you have to change them manually, not with UOT
i uploaded the icons for you , you can exchange them with erestor ones and put em back in systemUI.apk ...

Thanks, but yours are not the same as Erestor's.
But you pointed me in the right direction: I thought all these files were packed somehow, but looking in erestor's zip they are all there in plain site.
I can try a merge
Edit: I spoke too soon, the UOT zip is packed. They are already apk files.
How can I unpack them?

Yes I noticed, thanks mate!!!
Now since I'm modding my phone, I tried modding the bootanimation.
I took the one I chose with the UOT, unpacked, modified the images, resaved, repacked and put it in my phone.
It doesn't work.
The images have the exact same dimensions and name, still the screen is black.
I used photoshop to save the PNGs.
What may be wrong?

I can tell you :
for bootanimation, it is necessary that you save the zip WITHOUT Compression after modding the images ! (not just drag & drop into zip file, this will use compression !)
you can choose that in winRAR for example, just use option : save
you can have a look at my bootanimation and check archive details ...

[Q] ¿how can I Change the Battery Charging Animation in Samsung Galaxy Mini?

I still don't know how to do it. My Galaxy Mini has the EmanoN V3 Rom Installed, and I know how to change the boot animation (and where those animations are located) but I don't know anything about the Battery Charge Animation When the Phone is off.
I've read other threads but none of them helped me with this concern. It seems that in Samsung Galaxy Mini the Charging animation file is in other location and not in /System/Media.. I really want to change that old charging Animation (The big green battery charging xD)
It's in u framework.
Easy way is to use Uot kitchen or any theme to change it.
Of u want to change it yourself..then u should replace a few icons in ur framework with others of ur choice.

Oh u want to change the charging anim when powered off?
It's close to impossible.
Very complex and I have no idea.
It has something to do with the kernel.

Yup, the one's that located in status bar. I've been browsing around in UOT Kitchen for sometime, but its not letting me to do anything (Its full)
And, also I'm too lazy to set all icons myself So its easy if anyone had modified framework-res.apk or SystemUI.apk with ICS battery icons set. The ICS battery icons in the link that I posted before, is a perfect choice for me.

Hi,
I was also looking for a similar solution for my android phone. Someone on the google group mentioned that this is a part of the bootloader (http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/7ab362a235b840d2). You got to modify the bootloader to achieve this. This is not part of android.

I tryed kitchen. But in the LG ROM some files are not in framework-res or system ui.
So you can change only status Icons and battery icon but not the ugly blueish style of the whole ROM like the Icons in the dropdown menu.
Is it understandable what im trying to say?
Yes, me too I've tried several times changing the icons in the drop-down menu but so far i haven't succeeded :/

It's because some things are named different. You can't change those icons unless you decompile. Example, in dropdown menu/pull down menu, indi_noti_bluetooth_off (LG) versus stat_bluetooth_off (Gingerbread, CM7). UOT doesn't cover that.

If you want to change those icons, they are located in SystemUI. If you have your UOT zip, extract/unzip it.
1. Grab the SystemUI and decompile.
2. Change the icon/s.
3. Compile.
4. Rename the compiled unsignedSystemUI to SystemUI.
5. Open your UOT zip by double clicking (if you have a rar/zip program),
6. Locate SystemUI (app folder).
7. Drag and drop the compiled and replace.
8. With WinRAR (my compression method is "store").
9. Exit and flash the zip.
Be aware of the icon size (for alignment) left and right. You can crop top and bottom so you can resize it's background too. Same as the Carrier background. See my unresized background example below (V20N). A waste of space. Then see my modified one (CM7). you only get good results by decompiling. UOT cannot resize backgrounds.

This theme I made, for most basic stuff, it's just getting png's from some clean Gingerbread Rom like Nexus one's. For more concrete things like volume bar of description text, well you have to get into xml's and test, but not hard for someone like gabwerkz and some others.

No such files, atleast the one I'm using. I'll look into stock one, but I think they are important and should be there even in repacked ones if they are included indeed in Gingerbread. thanks for the advice tony.

Yes, I found out how to switch between the two homescreens.
u can simply extract the wallpaper from the lg home.apk( res> drawable hdpi) and save its to ur sd card....and then came back to ur favourite launcher...

Thank you.
But I assume I have to "sign" framework-res.apk and systemui.apk after the change?

Hi,
I downloaded all, found a suitable one_click_signer, found the framework-res.apk but not the systemui.apk on my smartphone with Zeus6.
The old stock rom from LG had this file.
Thank you for your help.
Find it in /system/app.
there is systemui.apk

It is really there
I searched with RootExplorer several times all directories with no success, the other file framework-res.apk was found at once.
Thanks.

I think it's because you really have to write SystemUI.apk and not just systemui.apk... Dont know why, but sometimes that's already the reason
It's Linux

Hi,
I need another help with making flashable zips.
I read here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954281
and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732957
and at some other places without really understand this.
I now have two changed .apk files and don´t know how to proceed.
You need to make folders first.
Call one "system" inside make a folder called "app" and one called "framework"
Insert SystemUI into the app folder and the framework-res into framework.
Then you need to make an updater-script, or you copy it from another flashable .zip, which also contains systemUI.apk and framework-res.apk.
Then make another folder called META, insides one called "com" inside "google" and "android" inside it. Insert the updater-script and update-binary into it, zip those two folders together in one .zip, sign it, and flash it
