I've been wondering if it's just me or if the numbers are a pixel or two offset to the right?

What makes this accurate battery add on better than just downloading battery indicator from the market?? Just curious lol

They're two entirely different things, gunner's mod is repackaging the framework-res.apk with an accurate battery mod, while that app doesn't do anything to the existing battery icon.

Mike,

Can you tell me how you are decompiling the SystemUI.apk?
I'm using the latest APK_Manager and it's having problems.

You using manual java command?

Thanks..

update your sdk and then copy adb and aapt to the other folder in your apk manager folder

Aaarg... Thanks for the quick response, but I've updated to the latest of everything, APK Tool (1.43), APK Manager, and the R16 of the Android SDK and copied the aapt.exe and the adb.exe (altough I'm not sure that's necessary) to the "other" directory.. and still can't decompile the damn SystemUI.apk !

Here is where I got the APK Tool: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
and the APK Manager: https://github.com/Danesh/ApkManager

Any ideas? I've decompiled plenty of framework-res.apks (and others) before and modded with no problems. Hmmm..

Thanks!

Here is the pastebin to the log.txt from APK Manager:
http://pastebin.com/09gqusqM

Seems it can not decode some of the attribute values... hmm

Do I need to decompile with dependencies (10) or just decompile?

Thanks!

have you installed the framework and systmeui with apktool?

and it is nessiscarry to have the latest adb and aapt and apktool in the other folder.

Hmm.. OK.. I'm trying to Google for more info..
I "installed" the Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk by using "APKTool if" and it extracted a couple of .apks files. What do I do with those in APK Manager? Use them as dependencies?

I think "use as dependency" does the same thing as the "apktool if framework-res.apk" command, which just extracts the apk somewhere in your user folder...but using that option in apk manager couldn't hurt!

But if that doesn't work try some different versions of aapt, that has solved some issues for me in the past.

Success! I was able to decompile the SystemUI.apk by using APKTool.
Somehow, I guess APKManager just can't do it. Will try to figure out why later when I have more time..

I'd rather use APKManager than APKTool, because APKManager is easier & faster.. no typing any command lines...

Well.. thanks a lot guys! I'll be making some battery mods (for myself, but may share them) later...

LOL.. now back to my day job... writing C# programs for Windows... aarg :p
