Battery Percent Mod

[nhshah7]

Hi all,
A friend of mine just acquired a captivate and asked if he can get a good battery widget etc but I suggested a battery percent icon. I haven't been able to find one, however. Is it possible/does it exist for the stock rom?

The phone has a captivate rooted stock rom (baseband I897UCKF1, Gingerbread.uckf1 - let me know if you need anything else)

Thanks!

it has to be deodexed so you can edit the right files. theres a kk4 rom out there he can use as well as a guide on how to do it. or you can use the kitchen to build a pack. i forget what kitchen i used. i think its the systemui.apk and a few jar or xml files that have to be tinkered with. search for accurate battery mod.

^Nope, framework-res.apk
The images need to be added to drawable-hdpi 1 for every percent, for draining and charging, for a grand total of 200.
Then in drawable you need to edit stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_batterycharge.xml to control the newly added images. The ROM does need to be deodexed, you're right about that.

Uot kitchen is great for stuff like this for beginners. Pick out your battery and whatever else you would like, upload the files, wait, download, flash, profit.
