Default 1% Battery mod + few icon changes (more colors)

Hi, I was never a big fan of all-blue themes, so I started to modify SystemUI.apk, basically I took this original mod and started replacing some icons to my liking.

As you can see I only replaced alarm icon and battery icons so far, but I think I will replace wifi and the other signal icons too. Also trying to find a better vibrate mode icon. I might throw in a better bluetooth icon too.

Update: I have now replaced vibrate, bluetooth, airplane and silent mode icons, as well as status bar.
Also, I didn't like the standard grey Gmail notification icon, so replaced it.
For this, you simply need to push modified Gmail.apk to System/App folder, then restart phone, do not try to install. It is version 4.0.1-228551. An update from Market will of course replace this and grey icon will be back.



Attached is the ZIP file. It should be flashed with CWM Recovery. I'm not responsible for any damage, so please do a backup first
I have tested this only on THIS 06 Dec Ir5: MCR ROM.

galaxynexusITL41F_BatteryMod.zip - this is original UI (legacy menu button on the right hand side when needed)
ITL41F_BatteryModUIPatches.zip - includes search and menu buttons on both sides add on by paulobrien.

Icons I have used:



EDIT:
Because of the Market promotion, I buy and install a lot of apps these days and didn't like that grey icon either.
Made one myself, so it's not the greatest, but I'll share anyway. If you have a better one, please share and I will replace if it's nice.


You need to move the attached Market app into /System/App folder and restart phone.

Very nice keep up the good work I much prefer the colourful icons than stock ones.

If possible can you make an alternate version which includes pauls search and both sides menu buttons like you did in your other thread as you already know that by installing this mod takes them back to the stock soft buttons (and I dont like them lol) .

It's now uploaded, please give it a try, but maybe keep the old one on the phone just in case, if something goes wrong you would simply flash the old one back.
I didn't try this one because I don't like the search button nor options on both sides

I tried to modify your apk to include a circle battery icons. I decompile it, replace pngs and recompile then adb push the systemui.apk. When I restart shell, i have no Systemui at all (no soft keys or notification bar)...am I missing something here?

I do not decompile, I Extract Apk and then Zip Apk.

I have no idea unfortunately. I took these icons from my collection of custom ROMs which I've been using on my previous phones. I usually take the icons I like and build a theme for myself.
