[MOD][Feb 22] UI MODs for Virtuous ROM (No Battery Icon/Centre Clock/No AMPM....)

---

THESE WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK YOUR % OR OTHER MODs . BEST IS TO EDIT THE FILES MANUALLY (AS DESCRIBED BELOW) IF YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL MODS.

Once again to emphasize, the ZIPs attached are for X920D version of Virtuous DNA+ v1 ROM Only. I have not tested on other versions!


ALL DOWNLOADS HERE -> http://vps.rana.sg/x920d/Virtuous_MODs/
Revert SystemUI to Stock -> Here

MOD 1 - Remove Battery Icon from Status Bar (SystemUI_HideBattery.zip)
This technique applies to ALL Sense ROMs, however, the zip file attached is specific to Virtuous ROM v1 for x920d variant.

This will remove the ugly green battery icon totally from the Status Bar. Then you can use your own apps to show battery % etc and it looks very clean imo.

Manual Steps

File to modify - /system/app/SystemUI.apk

Tools needed - 7zip

Steps -
1. Copy over your SystemUI.apk to your Computer
2. Open (Do not extract) using 7zip
3. Browse to folder "/res/drawable"
4. Delete files "stat_sys_battery.xml" & "stat_sys_battery_charge.xml" (Keep backup if you like)
5. Close 7zip (No option to save, etc.. just close the application)
6. Either push this SystemUI.apk file back to your phone or best is to download one of my zips below, open using 7zip and then copy over your SystemUI.apk overwriting the one in the zip. Then simply flash in CWM or TWRP.

All Done !

Removes Battery Icon, rest is Stock
