If i did that, then how would you guys learn for yourselves?

I suppose i could post the system files, then you would have to push them individually (because i don't know how, and haven't tried, to make a flashable zip yet)...
..but i wanna get the reboot option in the power menu first - hopefully I'll get time to do that this weekend..

Is there any way you can remove Beats Audio?

Yes, exactly, but when using Kitchen I uploaded the files from the Victory rom zip, not my then current system files (framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk). So I can assume the mod for the 1% is not in either of those files. Kitchen spits out a zip that doesn't work to flash; have replace the "update-binary" in the Kitchen zip with that same file from the Victory zip. Let me know if the two part flash works for you if you end up trying it.

Alright, just tried it....flashed JWM 28's 1% mod, rebooted, booted into CWM, wiped cache partition, wiped davlik cache, flashed your 1% mod, rebooted............

Worked like a charm!

Thanks for your help with this, couldn't have done it without ya

Schweet. Glad it worked for you. For those that would want to change the battery icon after doing this, Rom Toolbox is pretty handy and a little easier to use than UOT Kitchen.

Here's a 1% battery mod I made from UOT Kitchen that will keep the theming from the Victory Rom. Was my first time using the Kitchen, so anyone who wants to flash the mod acknowledges doing so at their own risk. Everything is working on mine however.

I had flashed the other 1% mod and had a similar experience as 916's. Mainly some of the theming of Victory was lost. With my mod, the small blue checkmarks and download arrows are back.

Intructions:
1. Download zip to SD card
2. Enter CWM
(Do not need to do full wipe; i.e. do not wipe data!)
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik cache
5. Flash zip
6. Reboot

Walla!
Let me know if it works for you

I think you need to update the services.jar as well - or just copy the one from JRW's mods to include in your zip for it to work directly... maybe..

Thanks. That makes sense. I've added JRW's services.jar to the framework folder of my prior zip. I assume it would work as one step now, though not sure if you can just throw files into the zip and have it flash correctly. Anyone know or want to test?

I take no responsibility for bricking someone's phone, though I would feel bad.

Here's the new download:

Credit of course goes to JRW for the 1%
Thanks to alteredlikeness (assuming it works, otherwise... j/k)

Flashed this and I can confirm it works.

@loderjm: did you update the updater-script and re-sign the zip after adding the services.jar file? If not, it may have been a fluke - i tried your zip on my phone and it worked, but I already had the proper services.jar file installed..
_______

Well, as for myself, I finally figured out this whole flashable zip thing... i think.
Here's a few 1% batt mods for VictoryROM (Thanks JRW, Googler, and those from which i stole/borrowed and learned - if I am stepping on anyone's toes, please let me know and I will take 'em down, or credit you)..

I modded my lockscreen, checkboxes, etc. on my phone, but these zips will only change the battery, and keep the rest of the Victory theme on your phone (for those of you who like the small checkboxes

).

Everything should be in working order (though, I only actually tested the vertical and circle mods)..
Install through CWM Recovery as per usual..
Wipe cache and dalvik..
Install zip..
Reboot.

Flash at your own risk! If something goes wrong, it's on you..

I simply added the services.jar to the zip file in the framework folder (dragged and dropped within Windows 7). Did nothing with the updater-script (other than that I had originally used the one contained in the Victory Rom zip) and to be honest don't know the process to re-sign a zip.

Before I F-up my phone or someone else's, can you help me understand those two processes? I appreciate it.

Edit: So doing some Googling, I now understand the purpose of these two processes.

Updater-script: Does the script specify what files within a folder on the zip get added to the respective folder on the phone? Or does the script just say, move any file in the zip's folder to the respective folder on the phone? If the latter is true, could this be why my zip worked?

Re-signing the zip: Do you think because I didn't extract all the files in the zip and re-compress/zip it, and only threw a new file in, that it maintained the original signature? Sounds like programs like 7zip will retain the signature, but not sure if Windows 7 would do it as well.

I look forward to your or anyone's insight.

tmease1 · Apr 5, 2012

There is no need for you to explain your actions. I flashed your zip and it worked fine. I do what you did to cwm zips all the time without any problems. Don't sweat it. Thanks for posting the file for us to use.

No worries. Just trying to understand how some this all works. Good to know that you can add files to the zip. Thanks

From my (limited) understanding, the updater-script will do what you tell it to.. it will replace the respective folders and/or files on your phone with those on the zip. Check out and compare a couple different updater-scripts (use Notepad++ to view/edit). In the script I used, it just overwrites the system files included in the zip by folder - it only references the /system folder (none of the individual folders or files in /system are mentioned in the script). I think in your script it was listed to remove and install each file separately (each file name was referenced - that's why I assumed it would need to be updated since you added another file: services.jar).

Signing the zip will automatically update the MANIFEST.MF, and the two CERT files. These are just lists (or manifests) of the files included in the zip (except the CERT.RSA - think that's just a generic file that is needed). To sign zips I use this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=997180
Just make sure you delete any old MANIFEST and CERT files before you zip with 7zip, PeaZip, or whatever, then drop that zip in the Sign+ tool window, hit sign, and it will create/insert the 3 files mentioned above and create a signed copy of your zip.

Hope this helps explain a bit. Again, my knowledge is limited as I am still learning myself. If anyone can add more to this, please do..
