[MOD] Gingerbread Horizontal Battery with 1% increment KE7

---

I've always used this mod in SGS1. I like it better than the vertical one because the numbers are better spread out and not so squishy.

Anyway here's my mod of Rawat's battery mod. The gfx were from old sgs1 framework and I really forgot where I got it from. Thanks to whoever who did the gfx. Thanks also to Rawat for the initial framework-res.apk.

I really only did the cut&paste and some testing, so I take no credit for this.

Hope someone finds it useful

Sorry I've been up too long doing this mod, it's time to zzz, so I can't write a detail installation instructions. But Chalid has made another similar mod (vertical battery) and has kindly put up some very detailed instructions there. Thanks! http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1091177



Note: This is for KE7 firmware only, not tested with other versions.



edit: ok, seems fixed, so i've added back the attachment. refer post 5.

Installed on KE7..... However:

As expected it wipes all accounts on the phone (such as google/facebook etc.), but everytime I go into settings, accounts and sync to re-add them the whole phone freezes. As in as soon as I hit "accounts and sync" everything crashes, then goes black with only the the top of the display (I forget what you call it, with the phone signal, battery indicator etx. visable.

Then it comes back to life, but I have to restart luncher pro. Have to switch off wireless, and back on again otherwise it doesn't work either.

Also happens if I try and add any new account via contacts, or gmail.

Reverting back to original framework-res.apk cures the crashing problem. But then it's back to stock battery indicator =(

you are right. i didn't notice this coz when i replaced mine, it didn't wipe out any account, no i didn't go into settings.

ok, removed attachment for now and see if i can redo it. sorry for any inconveniences.

Shame. I liked it better than the vertical one.
Would deffo have used it. I'll keep an eye out to see if you repost it, and try again.

well ok, but i am not well versed in android hacking, so it's kind of a learning process for me too

i've re-done the framework-res, tested it for a day and seems to be fine now. here it is if you want to try it again.

The Account wiping can happen if you don't set the permissions right. Copy the framework-res.apk to /system first, change permissions to rw-r-r (644) and then move the file to /system/framework

Is it working? This looks sweet

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

For the record, tried it on KE2, just for fun. Result:



Like a charm (that is: so far, don't know if anything "breaks" when using this framework on KE2, YMMV...)
