Battery Meter?

Anybody know of a good battery meter? I'd like something that has a little bar meter, with a percentage. Something small that displays on the task bar. maybe changes colors based ont he battery level. I saw one cooked into a ROM (can't remember, I've flashed so many) that looked like a little battery Icon. I don't know what it was called though...

honestly, the s2u2 is the best battery meter out there....

the battery meter that comes with the pdacorner ultimate rom is exactly what ur looking for. U cant really tell from the pics, but it is a regular battery meter near the upper right corner that has the exact percentage directly above it. It also changes color depending on strength, so at 100% its green, 75% orange, 50% yellow and at 25ish it turns red.

I've always been a fan of the ones that go all the way across the top, this one is good, light, and free. Putting it up there frees up a bit of space, and you can change the colors to match your theme. I think the one you're talking about was on the PDAcorner roms, could check the list of programs in the thread and see if it's downloadable separately.
Hope this helps

Cool, thanks guys

I know of another one have to post once I get home
Now it is attached the only disadvantage of this one is that it is an exe so you have to start it everytime you could use mortbuttons to make it easier to access
This one is the most colorful i've seen

Here you go, all it changes is the battery and its good for 1% incriments!

What does this file do?
Hi
Thanks. What I want to do is to have the time and battery meter at the top all the time when I use my Touch Pro? I installed this Cab. The icon that displays the type of online connection and the call history display seems to have changed.
This may be a silly question. What is this cab supposed to do do?
Many thanks.

Battery and Time on top
Hi
In answer to the last message I installed greenbatteryfix.cab. What I would like to see is both the time and the battery indicator at the top at all times. This cab does not appear to do this.
All the best.

Can't find these elements - are they obsolete?

Hi,
I'm quite new to Android so I don't know where to find all elements in the phone. Please have a look at this image and let me know if you know if the images are used or obsolete!
One additional element not in the photo is the scrollbar handle, that large thing that used to pop out from the scrollbar at times - is it gone?
I assume there is already info on how to theme the progressbar, I will search for this info later.
Thanks in advance.

}

all of those are in framework-res.apk/res/drawable
the scrollbar is also in that same folder.
to edit the color of the progress bar you have to edit progress_horizontal.xml, here is a little guide i made in a thread about how to easily do hex edits for color in .xml's. the only one of those files that still applies is .xml above. 1.6 did away with 1.5's way of doing the progress circles.

Pretty sure he's asking where the elements are actually used on the phone. As in, what apps use them, etc.

All are used besides the battery charged, and the files are like david said in the "framework-res.apk/res/drawable"

There are some outdated images left over from older OS versions, I usually just tend to ignore these so I have less to edit. The scroll bar large mode icon appears in contact.apk if you still want to edit that, im not sure which other system app uses it. I think what happened was google did a little cleaning up and moved app specific resources inside the app's apk files instead of having them float around in frameworks. They do need a serious clean up of the folder though.

Thank you for the replies!
Yes, I am in fact asking where they are used on the phone. I have a HTC Dream that I'm testing with, and I have not found apps that use the elements that I've listed.
So the battery charge is not used - thanks!
What about the rest, do you know an app that uses them?
The reason I want to find them is so that I can change them and see how it turns out on the device. I'm doing this for a client and I've tracked down all of them except these last ones.

I'm not positive but I can say a lot of them ARE obselete:
Erase Button: I believe it used to come in handy during 1.0/1.1 OS, haven't seen a use for it on 1.5+ devices
Picker Box: Definitely obselete, have not seen these used in quiet a while..
Spinner: These might be date/time picker images, go into alarm clock app, set alarm or change time for any of them I believe they show up here, not sure about the arrows though.
Battery Charge: have NOT been used since android 1.0 initial release, rc29, which was taken out a long long time ago.
Progress bar graphics: These are xml changes, I believe. As someone pointed out earlier you can try changing them via xml changes.
Your best bet is just not edit them, they're in the system/frameworks folder for no reason at all, I say save yourself the work and avoid them.
Hope that's clearer.

SenseUI Slider on your Imagio !!!

I originally made this for by TP2 bretheren, but it should work on the Imagio as well (will know for sure on Monday, unless somebody wants to test for me before then).
Hit up the TP2 / TF3D section of my website (link in signature)

Im running the biohazard on my imagio and the color settings i love em. thanks

Cool... Glad you like em

Thanks i have been looking for something like this. Got the checkered flag and the better looking sense icons!!

exellent
on my imagio the tab icon appear to be slightly smaller than slider icons
used sense_for_tf3d cab

Works Great on Imagio
Good work!!!!

Can you provide a screenshot of this?

still getting a screen shot
only noticeable with clear tab not any of the colored or themed tabs
just when tab icon overlaps slider icon
still getting a screen shot

I had somebody else mention that on the Imagio as well..
Lemme play with one and see what I can find out
Just to be clear.. you are trying to to use the SenseUI for TF3D package that I made?

what is happening? I used this on my imagio and it worked like a charm check it out...

I was just thinking that if i get time i might clean the icons up to show up more crisp on our screens

Go for it...
and as far as the overlap.. I don't know what to say.
I tried this out on a stock Imagio here at work and could not duplicate the problem

If you are talking about the overlap in my pic dont worry about it. I took a screen shot while i was holding down the slider. That is not how it normally looks. And i tried editing but i used package creator to open the .cab and all i can edit is the RGU and the DSM. Ill keep trying

OH!
I thought that was the problem you were having with it...
Then what is the problem you first mentioned?

I didnt have a problem that was shaba10k. But i just wanted to clean up the edges a little of the icons. If you look at my screenshot they look like they still have some white around them. Or it just formatted the colors incorrectly when they were saved.

The slider icons worked great on my Imagio. I've seen screen shots of color icons for the Call History and Calendar items on the homescreen as well. Do you make a cab for this? Or does anyone know where I could find one?

The call history icons are around on the forums somewhere. I did not make them.

Carrier Logo in upper left status bar?

Hi all. I was wonder if there was an app or mod that would allow me to put my carriers logo(Verizon) or an image in the upper left corner of my status bar? As you can see from my screen shot, I have my black,red and white theme going and I would love to either add the Verizon logo or a Beats by Dre logo in the upper corner to complete it for my liking. (*That side is to bare for me...lol.*) So if anyone could provide me any feedback or direction to start looking in, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!
BTW...I'm running the Eclipse2.2 rom with the Fury-X theme by Dubsx if that helps any.

You will most likely be hard pressed to find one. The top left of that bar is reserved for open task icons, and notifications like new messages, emails, missed calls, etc.

Actually it's being done/worked on on the SGSII. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560862 and on the NS4G here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281339
I was just wondering if any of the Bionic dev's knew how to do this or could provide me a starting point. (I'm no where near a developer, but I do know how to do different mods, etc..when giving proper instructions.) I will continue to watch that thread and see if it becomes a universal thing. Thanks for the reply though.

You can try out Phono in the market till someone comes up with a mod to have it permanently.

I attached Screenshots to show how it looks, mind you I'm on sprint though, but it reads your Carrier from your device information

Pretty sweet!!! Works perfect. Hopefully a future release will allow you to change whatever logo you want, but this will definitely hold me for now. Thanks!!

Hi!
You can try this one too:

[Q] CM9 theme creation problem

OK I'm attempting to create a cm9 theme with icons from crYsises rom. So far it works the only problem I'm having is they appear bunched up and not spaced out. Does anyone know what to edit to give more spacing for icons in the task bar?

I'm not sure about how cm9 images are. But I would look at the image dimensions. the images from the crysis theme may be smaller than what cm9 uses. If that is the case and the images themselves look ok just close together then you would prolly need need to increase the size of the background of the crysis images.
Btw which images look to close together??

}
Its pretty much any of the icons that I add Like the data icon its all jumbled together maybe if someone knows how to fix it I could post the CM9 theme apk and they could take a look at it =). OK I'm gonna tryu rescalling all the icons and try again.

I got closer its still kinda bunched up though.

Go ahead and post it, I'll take a look.

Here is my modded theme file.
View attachment com.sonny.theme.vividred-1_Signed.apk

Ok looking at the screenine and the zip you posted the only images that really jump out that are off are the stat_sys_wifi_signal and stat_sys_wifi_signal_fully the ones in the zip are 39x51 and looking at several of the same images in other themes and ROM's the size is 38x38. I did resize a few of the images you posted and they do look ok after resizing. I would resize those images and see how it looks after that.

Thanks for your help another thing I wanted to ask about is on the mobile data the signal bars are ok but the signal type icon like 3g or h kinda sits on the signal bars would making the data connection type icons smaller fix this? HA I fixed it!!! It looks great now!!! I will post a screenie in a little bit

Making the signal type icons smaller would just make it worse and make it harder to see. By making the icons smaller you would also make the background smaller, in turn moving the icons further to the right. If those are the icons you want to use and just move them further to the left add a little bit of background to the right side of the icons, maybe 3-5 pixels worth.

I fixed it by moving the actual pixels of the png's to different corners of the picture and it works great now! DO you know anything about .9 pngs? I was trying to replace them with ones from crysis but it kept giving me an error. Very confusing but I think I got this.

Any chance anyone would know what to change for this red bar in the status bar? Oh and the time color.
