The app version uses an excessive amount of RAM: before upgrading it regularly used about 9 mb. Now that I have v1.6 (which is supposed to be lighter) it is still using 9+ mb.

Image won't load for me. But the Ram is that high when the actual app is still open awell. The service uses 2.2 meg on all the phones I've tested on and id the same for all my beta testers. Android has to clean the memory first top it will drop once it needs to.

    Change Log
    Code: 
    [B]Options App[/B]
v2.0
added height options.

v3.0
added new color dialogs.

v4.0
fixed default color of med level to be non-transparent.
    Code: 
    [B]Battery Bar[/B]
v2
added height options and fixed default colors.


    How To!

    Ok so there are 2 files attached

    First is a Zip with the files needed to add to the SystemUI.apk (THIS IS NOT FLASHABLE)

    Second is an the Settings app for the Battery Bar.

    Step 1
    decompile your SystemUI.apk

    i use Apk Manager
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Step 2
    Navigate to smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\ Folder
    Place the 3 Smali Files from the zip here
    BatteryBar.smali
    BatteryBar$1.smali
    BatteryBar$SettingsObserver.smali
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Step 3
    You need to Navigate to the res\layouts\ Folder
    open your statusbar.xml
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Step 4
    Underneath the line with

    Code: 
    com.android.systemui.statusbar.DateView

    add this
    *** CHANGED ON v3 ***
    Code: 
    <com.android.systemui.statusbar.BatteryBar android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="wrap_content" [B][COLOR="Red"]android:layout_height="wrap_content"[/COLOR][/B] />


    it should be right at the bottom above the

    Code:

    i have added my statusbar.xml for reference if yours is in a different order no big deal just put it last and above this line
    Code: 
    </com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarView>
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse


    Step 5
    Recompile the apk however you normaly would (there are so many ways i wont cover this here)
    then push it to your phone and reboot.

    If you don't know how or are having issues this is how I do it!

    Notes:
    a. i have a file on my desctop that i edit this is a copy of the file pulled from my phone.

    Steps:
    1. after all mods are done open up apk manager
    2. type 22 hit enter and pick the file you were editing ( SystemUI.apk )
    3. type 11 hit enter and the app will recompile.
    - 4. Open a copy of the SystemUI.apk ( see note a ) in winnra or 7zip ect put that window on one side of your screen ( windows 7 snap too (windows key + -> or <- ) is awesome for this )
    5. Navigate to the projects folder of APK Manager and then navigate to the app you edited (SystemUI.apk)
    6. Navigate to the /build/apk folder ( snap this to the other side of your screen ) ( Note that the build/apk folder has the same structure as the apk file open in winnra / 7zip )
    7. for THIS MOD only! you will need these files simply drag the 2 files listed below into the same folder location in the open apk in winnra / 7zip
    - /res/layouts/status_bar.xml
    - /classes.dex

    8. Push the apk that you draged the files into to your phone with adb like this

    adb push [where ever your apk is]/SystemUI.apk system/app/SystemUI.apk
    adb shell chmod 0644 system/app/SystemUI.apk

    9. whilst you have adb up reboot :)
    adb reboot
    + 4. Open a copy of the SystemUI.apk ( see note a ) in winnra or 7zip ect put that window on one side of your screen ( windows 7 snap too (windows key + -> or

    - 10. Proceed to next step
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    -
    Step 6
    Once your status bar is back and running (you will have no battery bar yet)
    Simply install "BatteryBarSettings.apk" then open the app and pick your settings!
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Thats it ( I think )!

    all i ask is you don't modify the about section of the app if you choose to use it! and give credits where credits due. feel free to change my dodgy icon and if anyone has a better one ;) i will also put the sources for the settings app up on my git when i get git back up ( and when i tidy up and add comments ) and running in the next few days so that those of you running on source versions can cook it in from scratch. ( i don't think i need to explain how to do that if you are compiling sources i think you'll know what to do )
    Vissit My Git to have a Look


    with some help i can probably port this to older android versions (<2.3) as needed but i dont have access to a rom to test it on currently. so if you can help me there let me know :D

    Hope you found this helpfull! Let me know if this is not clear enough!

    Q&A
    Q: I am getting a FC on this or that, can you help me!
    A: NO. We can't help you. Because what you just said means nothing to us.
    We want to help you SO much, but in order to do that you need to report the bug properly.
    We took care of that too, see here:

    [APP] or [MOD] Battery Bar for All ROMs - Updated 16/1/12

    Hiding the battery Icons on your beloved ROM's
    tested on 2.3.* ROMS (Stock ROMS, AOSP, CM, MIUI) may sork on others aswell but 2.2 and below have a different process.

    for anyone who understands this stuff a bit this code here is what i edited for our TEAM ROM. this is hiding with an option from an app that sets a "global" setting.
    look in the statusbarpolicy.smali
    i commented the part with "hide battery icon";


    For everyone else what you will need to do is,

    1. Decompile your SystemUI.apk
    2. Open /smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar/StatusBarPolicy.smali
    3. Find the UpdateBattery function.
    this can be a long way down.
    just do a search for "battery" and you will find it eventually.

    Option A - Lock out the battery icon forever!

    basicaly to perma hide the icon add this to the start of the update battery function after the bit that looks like this.

    Code:
    Code: 
    .locals 12
.parameter "intent"

.prologue

    add this!

    Code:
    Code: 
    iget-object v1, p0, Lcom/android/systemui/statusbar/policy/StatusBarPolicy;->mService:Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;

const-string v2, "battery"

const v0, 0x0

invoke-virtual {v1, v2, v0}, Landroid/app/StatusBarManager;->setIconVisibility(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V
return-void

    then recompile and push back to phone.

    If you don't know how or are having issues this is how I do it!

    Notes:
    a. i have a file on my desctop that i edit this is a copy of the file pulled from my phone.

    Steps:
    1. after all mods are done open up apk manager
    2. type 22 hit enter and pick the file you were editing ( SystemUI.apk )
    3. type 11 hit enter and the app will recompile.
    4. Open a copy of the SystemUI.apk ( see note a ) in winnra or 7zip ect put that window on one side of your screen ( windows 7 snap too (windows key + -> or <- ) is awesome for this )
    5. Navigate to the projects folder of APK Manager and then navigate to the app you edited (SystemUI.apk)
    6. Navigate to the /build/apk folder ( snap this to the other side of your screen ) ( Note that the build/apk folder has the same structure as the apk file open in winnra / 7zip )
    7. for THIS MOD only! you will need these files simply drag the 2 files listed below into the same folder location in the open apk in winnra / 7zip
    - /classes.dex

    8. Push the apk that you draged the files into to your phone with adb like this

    adb push [where ever your apk is]/SystemUI.apk system/app/SystemUI.apk
    adb shell chmod 0644 system/app/SystemUI.apk

    9. whilst you have adb up reboot
    adb reboot
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    that will perma hide the battery icon

    Option B - Make it optional! ( my preferred way of doing things )

    basically the same process but with different code and an app to set the settings.
    i will add this soon and i will put the option to toggle into the BatteryBar settings app.

    I used & followed this tuto : http://youtu.be/YgWd0jsDtH0

    if I used the plain SystemUI from APKTool\SystemUI\dist , I get neverending FC. upon reboot, the status bar is simply gone and even the launcher's "Notifications" soft menu option doesn't make it appear. gotta reflash the ROM to set things straight & get the statusbar back.

    if I copy/paste "resources.arsc" from APKTool\SystemUI\build\apk into the fresh SystemUI I obtain in APKTool\SystemUI\dist, there are no FC and the status bar shows, but your top bar mod isn't present, not even when repeatedly checking/unchecking/rechecking "show battery bar" in your app.

    it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand & follow your tutorial, so I believe that my problem comes from somewhere in the recompiling process...
    at work now, whenever I have 10min, I'll upload my systemUI apks
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    OK my gimme 5 i'll edit the op with my full decompile/compile process

    EDIT*** all done. hope it is enough... i really had to think on how to word it all LOL!

    also the file in apktool/[apk name]/dist
    has no signatures and will not run (from memory)
