JWR66V has been updated to JWR66Y. Do these themes work as is or is it best to wait for an update?

Seems not, mine got stuck at the "X" screen.

Yep, always wait for an update.

I've not updated my N7 to JWR66Y yet, but when I do, I'll release an update to this mod.

igerup · Aug 26, 2013

Good news, I've just updated mine so I'm back to using the stock icons.

Re-applied this mod on top of freshly-flashed JWR66Y deodexed, and it works... Note that I didn't update through OTA, but through a flashable zip from another thread here.

igerup · Aug 27, 2013

That sounds promising. I'd better make a backup just in case.

I flashed on a whim after making a backup. And it works.
@Spannaa You might want to update the first post with the info that the JWR66V files work fine with no problems on JWR66Y.

Mine always stops at 57 percent.
Even if battery is down to under 50 percent.

This will happen if you flash a universal VRTheme without flashing the correct base VRTheme first.

Nex 7 (2013)

Hey all,

Can anyone confirm if these mods would work on the new Nexus 7 (2013) ? I suppose not with the different resolution, but need someone to confirm..

Dear all,
Did anyone can give me "4.3 JWR66V Wi-Fi" stock SystemUI.apk please?
I had flash "4.3 JWR66V Wi-Fi Revert To Stock SystemUI VRTheme" so many time, but still can not update JWR66Y OTA (status 7).
Thanks.

stat_sys_battery.xml + stat_sys_battery_charge.xml

Hi Spannaa, and thanks for posting these themes!!
I have a specific question about the stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml ... are these binary files? I wanted to learn how these transitions work so I could make a few modifications of my own. Could you direct me to the source code for these? Is it based on AOKP stat_sys files? Would be much obliged for some direction.

Thanks!

The stock battery on the Nexus 7 only changes icons at 0%, 15%, 28%, 43%, 57%, 71%, 85% & 100% charge so I've modified it so that there are now icons for every 1% and they're also animated when the device is charging.

To do this, I made two sets of Base VRThemes which modify SystemUI.apk:

The first set are Base Statusbar Battery VRThemes which change just the statusbar battery icons and contain a modified res\drawable\stat_sys_battery.xml, a modified res\drawable\stat_sys_battery_charge.xml, the 202 1% statusbar battery icons in res\drawable-hdpi & larger versions of thes icons in res\drawable-sw720dp-hdpi for tablet mode users and a modified resources.arsc

They're simple xml files which replace the ones in SystemUI.apk/res/drawable

I've zipped and attached the decompiled versions below so that you can read their contents.

Thanks for sharing!!! Very insightful! I understand now how you have used the framework to show the charging animation

Will play around with the duration parameter numbers.

Good evening, Spannaa. You will be doing batterymod for KitKat?

That'll depend on whether or not I upgrade to stock KitKat or flash a modified version.

Rycon33 · Nov 17, 2013

Many will be very glad if somebody can finally made battery mods like these here to work on KitKat. I haven't actually seen one here in xda and anywhere. I checked the SystemUI of my Nexus 4 and cannot find the usual stat_sys_battery/charge xmls inside and the png images are not there anymore as well. Could be hard-coded or something now, not sure

Aren't they (and the two xml files) now in framework-res.apk for KitKat?

yup but previously in JB and lower, both got those 2 xmls but we only mod on the SystemUI side for battery images

though actually I still tried that one as well (out of curiosity), but the mod on the framework I made just bootlooped on my Nexus 4 so I am presuming it must have been still in the SystemUI or somewhere(but I can't find any clue) LoL

OK, I've upgraded to stock 4.4 KRT16O and the battery icons are now not pngs

The percentage is built into the rom but it isn't enabled by default.
It can be enabled by flashing battery.percent.1.0.1.apk by @kroegerama

I've built a VRTheme template that works on Android 4.4 and am making a VRTheme that will change the icons, clock & battery colour to ICS Blue to go with this apk

I'll post it in a new thread once I've finished testing it

Hi,
Any chance someone could repost the following files please?

Stock 4.3 JWR66V Wi-Fi HyDrOG3N Base Battery VRTheme
Stock 4.3 JWR66V Wi-Fi Stock Statusbar Pulldown Base Battery VRTheme

The links in the OP are dead and after using other ROMS I find that 4.3 JWR66V is the best for the Nexus 7.

Thanks in advance.

The link for "Stock 4.3 JWR66V Wi-Fi Stock Statusbar Pulldown Base Battery VRTheme" is still live but some of the others have gone AWOL due to goo.im's server move.

Give it a few hours and I'll re-upload everything to goo.im and see if they're still as reliable as they used to be...
