Nice work. Why not leave the battery as white with black (w/e color) text?:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2533912&highlight=bold

Honestly, I found that with the white battery, it was difficult to read the text no matter what color. Like for black text, once the battery was down below 50%, you could only really read half or less of the text (unless you gave it a good look). I tried red text and that just kind of freaked out my eyes. My best answer is probably that I'm just not ready to give up ICS blue... ;)

Thanks for this. Any chance of incorporating long press volume to skip song? I've been hoping for this mod on stock along with the others you have here.

Thanks for this. I'm most interested in the "4-way Reboot Menu" MOD and was wondering if android.policy.jar had other mods build into it other than "4-way Reboot Menu"

Thanks

4-way Reboot Menu is all I was looking for thanks for posting the file

Just an FYI, the android.policy.jar must be installed with the framework-res.apk in the zip. The framework has an extra .png that is not in the original. The power button won't work correctly without both of those. If you just want the 4 way reboot menu, I may have one without the extra .png.

I see thanks for the info i didn't know that. I would very much like 4 way reboot menu + Native Wireless Tether but not if it's to much trouble

You'll need both android.policy.jar (Reboot menu) and framework-res.apk (Native Wireless tether) from the zip. Only things that framework-res.apk has in addition to tether are disabled Safe Media Volume and enabled CRT animation. SystemUI has all the statusbar mods. Does that work for you?

Not sure what's wrong with my phone but everytime I try and flash the zip and reboot I get the "unforturnetly your systemui has stopped working" or something like that. Tried it twice. Once after a clean data wipe and restart.

I think the data wipe is your problem. I had that problem also initially when I did a data wipe and tried to install. Reinstall the original, boot up fully, then reboot recovery and install the mod WITHOUT clearing data or cache.

Oh.. okay. I tried to wipe cache both times. Thanks.

The clean data wipe, I restarted and signed in before rebooting and trying again.

I tried it with and without clearing the cache and keep getting the system error. Tried several times and can't get it to work.

Would it be possible to get a version with only CRT-animation enabled? It would be nice.

Answering my own question: it is possible. One needs to edit framework-res.apk to change the value "config_animateScreenLights" in res\values\bool.xml from "true" to false. Also I changed ".field private static final USE_ELECTRON_BEAM_ON_ANIMATION:Z" to "true" in services.jar, but this alone didn't work and I didn't try without this, so I'm not sure whether it is necessary.
