[Q] [AoCP 4.6][JB][4.1.2] Framework-res.apk, power_profile.xml ?

[cigdaze]

Hello all,

I'm running an i777 with the 4.1.2~Jellybean~AoCP CP 4.6~The Collective (11/21/2012) ROM.

I've ditched the stock 1650mah battery in favor of an aftermarket 3500mah battery and although the battery is fantastic and gets me easily through 3 days of moderate use, the percentage of battery life remaining is naturally reporting erroneously. What I'm seeing is that it drops from 100% to 90% withing minutes of unplugging, then from 90% to about 50% it slows down a bit (maybe a few hours), and from 50% to near dead it takes days. So, essentially the battery minder is fairly inaccurate.

What I'd like to ask of y'all is:

(1) Would simply editing the [<item name="battery.capacity">1650</item>] variable within the power_profile.xml file suffice to "re-calibrate" the usage accuracy?

(2) Has anyone been able to successfully decompile & recompile a JB framework-res.apk file using apktool? I can decompile just fine, but it won't recompile no matter what I try (and I've searched and searched for an answer to no avail).

(3) Would anyone happen to know definitively whether the rest of the power usage numbers in the power_profile.xml file accurately reflect what the phone is truly consuming?

Thanks in advance.

For reference, following are the contents of the power_profile.xml file:

1- I would say yes.
2- likely your errors are plural errors? Idk since you didn't post a log. The plurals needed fixing for it to compile again. This had been published on here in many threads.
3- I would leave the rest alone.

Many thanks for the reply and your advice. In my process of elimination, I decided to use another PC and try another attempt to de/recompile and I was successful this time - apparently I had an outdated aapt file the first go-around.

I just flashed my cloned ROM with the new framework-res.apk using the modified power_profile.xml file. So far so good. I'll report back how the battery monitor behaves after a couple cycled.

Thanks again, SHO.
