[MOD] Greener SystemUI.apk & battery mod / CRT effect for XWKE2/KE7/KF1/KF3/XXKG1/2/6

---

I made a quick mod to alter some of the icons from SystemUI.apk so that the icons turn green when you're fully connected to Google's network á la nexus phones.

The network data icons were modded using paint.net, and are a bit flat (but they look okay - original icons had 2 tone grey, haven't had time to make it look as pretty as they were ) and the wifi and reception icons are that of stock 2.3

Installation is manual because we don't have a flash-friendly recovery yet. You have to rename your chosen file to SytemUI.apk and then push it to /system/app and restart your phone. However, all newer mods will be CWM flashable

I have also modified the framework-res.apk to have the CRT screen off animation.


Above is a pic of how the reception and wifi icons are when fully connected.

Make sure you extract (if compressed) and or rename the files before pushing them.

Guide: If you have an insecure recovery, you can do this as long as you open your command shell where the framework-res.apk file and SystemUI.apk file is.

adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/
adb reboot

If you do not have a secure recovery, you can paste them over the existing files using Root Explorer, but this is an unsafe method, and might cause your Google Account settings to disappear from Accounts & Sync.

I've also added a circle battery mod with battery percentage & CRT effect.
The icons are gingerbread green from 100-30%, then orange from 29-15 and red from 14-0.

I had a few mods up for KE1, but hardly anyone still uses that FW, and it was pulled. If you're on KDD, I suggest upgrading to KE7

Bugs: CRT anim is sometimes Garbled. Not sure why it happens, and a fix for it is not currently know.


VillainROM users: Install battery mod or CRT anim via the VillainTweaks app. Don't install this version, it won't work, and you'll get a TON of force closes. Pulser is adding the SystemUI.apk file to VillainTweaks too - This only effected earlier versions of VR

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
SystemUI - KE2.apk - This is the tweak to make the icons go green. Rename to SystemUI.apk and push to phone if you have KE2. For KE7, use the KE7 mod.
framework-res KE2 improved stock.apk - This is the stock KE2 framework-res.apk with a few of the battery icons changed. Does not have CRT effect. Rename to framework-res.apk and push to phone if you have KE2. For KE7, use the KE7 mod.
Battery mod XWKE2 circle battery mod fixed.zip - This is a circle battery mod for KE2. It is Gingerbread green from 100-30, then orange from 29-15, and red from 14-0%. unzip the file, and push the framework-res.apk file to your phone. Does not contain CRT effect.
unsignedframework-res KE7 CRT.apk - This is the stock KE7 framework-res.apk with a few of the battery icons changed and the CRT effect enabled. Rename to framework-res.apk and push to phone if you have KE7.
SystemUI KE7.apk - This is the tweak to make the icons go green. Rename to SystemUI.apk and push to phone if you have KE2.
framework-res KE7 battery mod and CRT fixed.zip - This is a circle battery mod for KE7. It is Gingerbread green from 100-30, then orange from 29-15, and red from 14-0%. unzip the file, and push the framework-res.apk file to your phone.It also contains the CRT anim.
KF3.zip contains CRT anim, + green icons, and nexus wifi signal icons, as well as a data toggle in the notification toggle Flash via CWM. Non-deodexed AKA stock ROMs ONLY.

SystemUI KE7 DEODEXED.apk - This file is to be used if you have VillainROM v1.1 (It's villainROM only atm because it has different signing. Will not work on Lightening ROM.) lightening ROM users, click here for your compatible SystemUI.apk file.

XWKF1 Battery Mod and CRT and Greener SystemUI CWM flashable.zip isn't working in CWM, likely because I screwed up the flash script.
You can still push the files manually, and I'll upload a fixed zip later today.

Seems like my zip was corrupt, and ChainFire has posted a fixed version for XWKF1 here.

CRT anim and green SystemUI.apk as a flashable zip for XXKG1 here.

CRT anim and green SystemUI.apk as a flashable zip for XXKG2 here.

CRT anim and green SystemUI.apk as a flashable zip for XXKG6 here.

NOTE: I haven't tested the file yet, but it worked fine when I did the same thing for my old Galaxy S, and should work fine here too. (I used Galaxy S II SystemUI.apk file of course)

hey, nice work.

you think you might be able to give us the battery percentage mod ?

Good job mate. Will test this tonight

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Do you have a screenshot? I'm not familiar with this greeny thing

Screenshot would be a good idea.

also do the bars/icons change to green when connected and grey when not?

is this a reversible mod? i.e. uninstall, returns to normal?

See the WiFi indicator/GSM meter is green? This means it's fully connected to Google services (image curtesy of Paul O'Brien @ MoDaCo)

Is that the actual icon from this mod? How do you know Paul's running it?

Yes. That's why I attached the original SystemUI.apk too

Did you flash SystemUI - original.apk?

That seems like it's from a Nexus S or something.

Anyway, I think that's just an example of how the icons change to green, and what the reception/wifi icons would look like.
