[HOW-TO] Circle battery with % in the middle (rooted) + froyo

kubino99 · May 11, 2010

Hi All

I've edited services.jar, so we can use circle battery with sense roms. You need to have rooted device and MCR r1 and R3 ROM.

Froyo version tested on DEFROST 2.0 Rom (for froyo I've updated just the code (services.jar) not the framework, but I'm sure some of the devs will take care of that ;-) )

For android 2.1 :

Code:

1. Start recovery
2. Do nandroid backup 
3. Place update_signed.zip or update-froyo-signed.zip to SD and flash,

For android 2.2 (froyo) without HTC sense :

Code:

1. Start recovery
2. Do nandroid backup 
3. Place update-froyo-signed.zip to SD and flash,

If you have odexed /system/app this mod won't work for you. Look for *.odex files in the /system/app folder.

The theme used here is not my work!! all credits for theme go to PaY87

Forgot to mention it will not work on CM ROMs.
Which ROM you are using? This is for sense ROMs I have tested this on MCR r1.

Yeah was using a CM Rom. I had to flash my Rom again but luckily what I lost was minimal!

There was no need to flash. All you have to do was replace services.jar file with the one from CM ROM. When I have some spare time i'll try to do CM version.

I needed my phone back on quickly and didn't have the files lying around i deleted the CM rom so i've just got the Modaco r2 for now.

So might give this battery a go again!

Bart1981 · May 12, 2010

Sorry, but what is MCR or CM rom???

I have a stock rom with root. Will this work?

nikosrs4 · May 12, 2010

MCR= Modaco Custom Rom
CM= Cyanogen Mod

MCR -> Modaco custom rom
CM -> Cyanogenmod rom

This should work on Sense Stock rom. Can you please post the size of services.jar ?

Code:

adb shell ls -l /system/framework/sevices.jar

you'd better backup the files in recovery so you can easy roll back in case of issues :

unzip services.zip
adb shell mount /system
adb shell cp /system/framework/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar.orig
adb push services.jar /system/framework
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/services.jar
adb shell cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk.orig
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot

on the mcr r2 rom i'm running, i get 564522

Code:

 -rw-r--r--      1 0        0         564522 Aug  1  2008  /system/framework/services.jar

looks like it's the same as in MCR r1, In this ROM it should work.

Code:

-rw-r--r--    1 0        0           593470 May 11 21:16 services.jar
[COLOR="Red"]-rw-r--r--    1 0        0           564522 Aug  1  2008 services.jar.stock[/COLOR]

followed the instructions and ended up in a bootloop - "quietl..."
copying the orig files back allowed the phone to boot normally again

weird, am I only one who have this mod working? I can try to flash MCR r2 and see if it works. Have you tried to wipe data or boot without SD card ?

Pyr0x64 · May 12, 2010

no, i haven't tried to wipe data or boot without my sd card as i'm running ap2sd

i'll need to run titanium backup before wiping...
i might try that later if you cannot find a solution, but i have to go get ready for work right now
