Question: Changing JUST the battery icon in status bar

---

I like the default Froyo theme but the battery Icon in the status bar is completely worthless because it doesn't accurately reflect the current percent remaining.

Is is possible to change only this icon?

If you have flashed the Froyo Pick-n-Pack ROM, you can go to the UOT kitchen here, and upload the framework-res.apk file from the ROM. It will implement accurate battery mod for you and then you just have to flash the package that comes out. Pretty easy to do.

Success! Thank you. That website is very handy.

phidelt82...what are your super secret mods and rom...i wanna try it...not knowing is killin me...lmao

Without getting too in depth, I'll try to explain;

To change battery pictures, you must open the framework-res.apk file in 7zip and replace the existing .png files with the ones you want (while i'ts still "compressed" aka packaged, DO NOT UNZIP IT. Sounds easy, but it get's complicated;

Accurate battery mod means that the XML has been edited to show an image at more specific battery levels (1,2,3,4,5...) So, if what ever theme/rom you're trying to change already has this mod in it then you just have to make sure that the theme you're pulling the new clock images from also has the mod. This is obvious because there are more images than the stock version (it went by 10's and 15's)

EDIT: Just going to leave this random bit of info here lol..

If you're trying to create a new theme, the best thing to do is to take the pick and pack rom over to UTO Kitchen choose the new icons you want with their tools, then upload the framework-res.apk from PNP and it will add the mod and the new images for you, which you can then flash on your phone.

I think he was actually referring to Phidelt's "projects" he's been hinting at and referring to in his sig lately. Good info on themeing though!

Yea.... for some reason I didn't even see phidelt's post...we'll just pretend that question was asked instead lol (you may want to edit your quote since I was a dumbass the first time)

I'm having trouble finding the rom on the website. What is it under?

After you've selected your battery icons and color it should give you the option to upload your framework-res.apk, after that when you go to the pickup page there should be a heading of "my uploads" or something, seperate from the rest of them. That will be the one you did.

It seems as though this has to be done from your computer. Am I wrong? I tried doing it from my phone and when I click on "choose file", it takes me to a page where it says "no files found"
