No one has asked this question, which I assume means that this is an easy answer.

When I'm in the system file and I try to rename the file, it says "permission denied"

How do I get around that?

Mount R/W at top in root explorer.

One thing I just realized, and only because I'm an idiot, is that the very first thing the thread said to do is root your device.

I'm assuming there is no way around that?

Nope you have to have root access.

Sounds good to me... actually I think we can just put the pngs in the framework and the 2 battery xmls in drawable. Only thing is, who's gonna risk a possible bootloop without a backup method... systemui not that big of deal, framework is a bit wider spread.... hummm, makes me wonder if it did have a issue, if the error pngs just wouldnt load or if it would boot loop... just throwing ideas out there that are pooping in my head. Anyway, yeah, ill be "working" from home all day tomorrow, so send me a PM and we'll see what we can get done.

Sounds good but the problem is how to drop the framework-res.apk to system/framework because simply using a root explorer doesnt work because

#1 As soon as you rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.bak you will be soft bricked.

#2 If you copy framework-res.apk to your sd card then, copy and paste the modded framework-res.apk to system/framework and overwrite the existing one about 25% into overwriting it the prime reboots itself.

#3 Have not tried ADB method yet...

#4 I might use my Galaxy Tab 10.1 as a laboratory rat since it has CWM... and its running AOKP 4.0.3 ICS it should behave the same as the prime software wise....

You have to ADB Push it...

Did some digging around the Atrix thread... Looking for OLD threads, back before we had a recovery and had just got a de-odexed system dump. Check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967178

Only thing is, this was froyo... lets hope all still holds true for ICS.

Think I might try and push my de-odexed framework folder here in a bit with those instructions... saved a full folder backup to micro sd card, so hopefully if anything goes wrong, I can adb push my original files back.... I can feel the soft brick coming.
The thing with the Atrix was, at least if you soft-bricked, you could flash a sbf file to totally restore your phone to stock... kind of like installing a blob file I guess for ASUS.

**Edit**
Checked out which dev/block our system mounts to, it's mmcblk0p1

(more for my own notes) -> F.Y.I., in terminal type:
su
cat /proc/mounts

**Edit**
More Notes... sorry, totally hijacked this thread.
So it would go something like this for the framework folder:

adb push framework /mnt/sdcard/deodexed/framework
adb shell
$ su
# mkdir /mnt/sdcard/original_system
# mkdir /mnt/sdcard/original_system/framework
# cp /system/framework/* /mnt/sdcard/original_system/framework
# stop
# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
# cp /mnt/sdcard/deodexed/framework/* /system/framework
# rm /system/framework/*.odex
# exit
adb reboot

Wanna give it a go and see who bootloops first?

*Booting.... Booting... spinning wheel... come on... FML...

**Edit**
So, yeah.... Don't do that^^^^
Looks like I may be in for a RMA. At least they can fix the one dead pixel in the middle of the screen that been kind of annoying me too.

Damn, that sucks. Hope you can recover it, without having to send it in.

Serious? dam.. I'm still flashing stuff on my GNex err... Is your prime still detected by your pc? If you can still open a adb shell why don't you push a clean system dump and see what happens?
