Circular Battery on Status Bar

---

Use adb from Android SDK, the tools directory
(http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)

1) Pull framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ by command:
> adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .

2) Make a copy of the original framework-res.apk to framework-res-original.apk in your tools folder (in case you screw things up )

3) Rename framework-res.apk in your tools folder to framework-res.zip

4) Open framework-res.zip

5) Replace the "circular battery" files I have attached to res/drawable-mdpi directory in the zip file

6) Use normal compression when replacing the files

7) Rename the zip file back to apk extension

8) Push framework-res.apk back to /system/framework by commands:
> adb remount
> adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
> adb shell reboot

Credit to giant_rider, I pulled the files out from his SuperEclair ROM

If anyone wants to create an signed apk for easy update, be my guest

awesome, will definitely use!

I have tried this twice & it always reverts back to the standard battery icons. I push the new file with the circular battery files you uploaded. However, when I pull the framework file again to check the icons(after I reboot my phone & see that it hasn't changed) it its back to normal with the standard ones. I can't imagine why Any ideas ? ? ?

i am confuse with this step, my original file only has "drawable" & "drawable-land" folders, so do i add a new folder containing your circular battery png called "drawable-mdpi"

my Magic just stay on the splash screen when i do this

----------------------

so i restore and try replace the circular battery png to the original battery png in my "drawable" (copy n paste)

my Magic still stay on the splash screen.

pls help

it worked for me on CM4.x.x.x donut and CM5

its actually very simple, just follow step (1) and pull the file, look for your original battery png files and replace it with the circular battery files, both original and circular battery status should have the same png file names

sweet. Im currently running pays 1.6 and i want to try to run an eclair but theyre all ugly as hell and i dont want a fully themed rom, i just want specific icons ect.

ive been looking into this for a while So i have some noob questions if you will.

1: do i need to "re-sign" the apk?

2: can i apply this method to all the icons on a rom.
for example, i like the "dowloading" icon from my current rom but would like it on an the eclair.
same goes for the text icon on the notifications bar, i like the green one but clair normally uses a black one
could i switch them out?
