Default [MORPH] Vibrant Accurate Battery

We all know the battery icon on the Vibrant is subpar. It looks like you have much more battery than you actually do. The stock icons (10, 20, 40, 60, 80%) don't show their correct percentages.

I made this morph in hopes to fix that issue. I actually measured the available space in the icon and figured how much each percentage would be (10, 20, 40, 60, 80). Only issue I can see is I don't know at what percentages the phone changes icons (ie. 20% icon at actual 20% or another close percentage).

Also including a revert in case someone wants to go back to the stock icon.

(May include comparison screenshots if I can get them)

Thank you!

Also, for those of you that don't want to have to morph, you could always download the battery watcher widget, which displays the percentage of battery remaining in a widget.

True. A lot of widgets will put a percentage up in the status bar. This is more for the OCD (no offense) people that can't stand having it be way off. :P

Well I'm far from ocd (
You should see my desk), but it is really annoying that what looks like 70%, is actually 40%

I have been trying to port over this battery from the captivate forums, as its super accurate (to the percentage). Anyone feel like trying? It involved 100 images and 3 xml files.

I can't make the orginal one work. The accurate battery I mean. It says applying but doesn't complete. How long does it normally take? Can you have more than one morph at a time? Did I miss something?
Hit the THANKS button if I helped
