is there a way to hide the android battery status or display the % on it? there are plenty of apps that show % but its kinda redundant to have both displaying on the task bar.
i am runing rooted stock rom. any ideas are apreciated, thanks
You can do both with CyanogenMod. Or you can just replace the images in framework-res.apk
Here is a red round battery with percentages:
thanks everyone
thank you, i just deleted the images from framework-res and installed a battery indicator from market. so now i have 1 battery with correct %. too bad i cant move it to the right

How do you do this? Do you copy the original framework-res.apk to PC and then open and remove the battery pictures then move the modified framework-res.apk back to the device and install? I tried this but the apk wont install.

How do you install this file? I tried installing it from clockwork mod recovery, but it didn't take.

you cant install that file. you have to pull framework-res.apk from the /system/framework. then open it with 7zip and overwrite the exiting images with those. then push it back into the phone.
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
then after injecting new images
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Any idea where I can get my hands on red-themed 3g/location/clock/wifi/gps/alarm etc. notification icons?
I can't get the file to push. I am connected via USB with USB debugging on in charge only mode. At CMD prompt I can adb shell and su.
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
gives error adb: not found
I have edited the file by removing some png and then saving it back to the sdk root and the sdk/tools folders.
If I get this to push do you have to then install the apk from the device?

-Install 7zip (just google it)
-Reboot phone into recovery.
-Connect USB cable
-Go into Partitions menu in recovery
-Mount /System
-Open your command prompt on your PC
-Change the directory to wherever your sdk/tools are located
-type the following command line: adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Now the file is in your sdk/tools folder
-Right click on framework-res.apk and open with 7zip
-Copy the files from the round battery zip folder to the corresponding folder with the 7zip archive. They will automatically overwrite
-Exit 7zip
-Back in the command prompt type the following command line: adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
-On your phone, unmount /system, then back out of the partitions menu and reboot your phone.
Should be all set!

I think you need to mount the system folder in the partitions menu of recovery. My instructions are one post up.
Thanks got it. I switched back to the orignal apk though. I wanted the status hidden, and while deleting the png worked, it still leaves a blank space instead of moving the icons over so it doens't look good. Thanks for the help.

I really like this icon, but is there any way to use this without the percentages in the middle? It makes it look more cluttered, and it's not very useful as they only change between 100, 80, 60, etc.
So is there any way to either make them more accurate, or remove them completely? I really like this indicator otherwise, more neat-looking than the one that comes with the jonnybueno theme (which rocks otherwise!)
Thanks all.
I made a white round battery meter if you don't care for the red.
Why can't this be packaged up into a zip for us to just go into recovery and clockwork and install zip. Don't really understand why we have to go through all the steps of adb to get this to work. So if possible could someone please put it all together to make it easier to use. Thanks

you cant install it, you have to overwrite it in recovery mode.
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
modify
then
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/

It probably could be packaged, but it is a pretty simple change so I doubt anyone would go through the trouble.
Do not fear ADB. Follow the steps. It is as easy as 1. 2. 3... 4567.

Is there anyway to do this so it is like the old days where a zip could be installed through clockwork recovery? I hate doing anything through ABD half the time my phone is not recognized?
Ok i managed to get the stock lockscreen if you all want to use it.
There is a possibility that the file i signed has a different signature, but i dont think it will.
Remember make a backup! always.
If your phone gets messed up it is not my fault.
I have warned you, so here you are. EDIT: Unzip the file then push the one inside of the zip.
put the file i uploaded in /system/framework ............. let me know what you think!
Thank to : Ateisti for giving the info on how to modify it.
If you want to go back to your old lockscreen download the enable_glass_lock.zip, unzip it, and push the enable_glass_lock to /data/local
If your signature is different it will get stuck on the samsung, you can then restore your backup.
and if you want it then run these instructions:
You need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.
You are the ****ing man!
How well does this work with the alarm silencing and incoming calls? Thanks!!!
EDIT: Never mind...testing it out.

I'm a little confused... do we need to just change the file to android.policy.jar or leave it the name that it is and just move it to /system/framework

Keep the name and adb push it to /system/framework (you might want to backup your old one) you can backup by "adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar"
You can also install it using root explorer if you want.

See I'm still confused, cause there is no file named android.policy (samsung fascinate) in the folder "framework" but there is android.policy.jar
Should I unzip the downloaded file then push that?

Quick question, does this take away the option for the other two lockscreens, ie glass and puzzle? If not I can throw this in my theme port (with your permission of course) and also theme this lockscreen as well.

Your more then welcome to use it, but It does not give an option. So you would have to create a seperate theme for people who would just want the stock lockscreen.
I've tried installing this twice with root explorer, and both times my phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo when I reboot.
To install the file, I unzip the download and then place the .odex file in /system/framework. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

your signature isnt the same as my file. you can try to do this but you need to use adb not rootexplorer
DO this while in cwm recovery
1. Rename the file you downloaded to patched.odex
2. adb push it to your /system/framework
3. adb shell then cd into /system/framework
4. run this
dd if=android.policy.odex of=patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
5. exit shell
6. adb pull the android.policy.odex for backup
7. adb shell cd /system/framework
8. rm android.policy.odex
9. mv patched.odex android.policy.odex
reboot and you should have stock lockscreen.
hey man, i'm new to all this i've done all that u said, but what is the command to pull the android.policy.odex from the phone? I think i'm putting the wrong directory in the command because I keep getting "remote object '......android.policy.odex' does not exist" thanks for this, btw i really dislike that puzzle piece unlock bs.
nevermind, I wasn't in cwm when doing it the first time. Thanks again.
I like this, can't wait to try it.

Yes I did it in clockwork recovery. I may of had some confusion on the second to last step. I'll try again when I get home.
Two questions: Is the silent slide functional, and are the last two steps verbatim.

OK, I know how to use ADB to reboot and get into download mode on my phone, but I have a kind of emergency. I was attempting to replace a framework-res.apk file on my phone to change the battery icon, and now I am stuck FCing all over the place. So much that I can't put my backed up framework-res.apk file back in /system/framework via Root Explorer like I normally do.
I am connected to my phone, can list directories, but cannot seem to push the framework-res.apk file.
Can someone give me a step by step on how to do this and soon please...
EDIT: I think I got it. I needed to be in Recovery Mode, and then it seemed to copy fine.
While I do have someone's attention (hopefully), how do you change directories if the directory you want to change to is two names, IE 'Battery Mod'?

Is your backed up framework on your sdcard? You could try adb shell.
from pc,
adb shell
su
cp XXXX/framework-res.apk system/framework <<<may need to use busybox cp
exit
exit
adb reboot

My backed up framework file was on my PC. The first one I was trying to get to was on my phone, in a folder called Battery Mod, which I could not get into because ADB kept saying wrong substitution or something?
Either way, I was able to get it done, so I learned something new again.

That makes sense, it may not let you Push to the file system while it's in use.
As for 2 names, do you mean from a windows command box or in the android command line. Windows you just type it as is. Linux is a little more picky, I usually try to remove spaces from directory names so I don't run into any problems with that. In linux a backslash works, ie, cd /sdcard/Battery\ Mod
Not sure if it will work on our phones.
Ok, I must have posted this question somewhere but I would like to know the answer cause no one has answered it. "how do I get the stock phone app to modify?. How would I get it and put it back into my phone? please I would like to know.
38 views and no response?
the .png files for the phone are actually in the contacts.apk.
Are you asking how to modify the apk, or just specifically where are the phone images?
To copy the app from your phone just do: adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk
That will put a copy of the file in your "tools" directory in the android sdk folder
Then when you want to put it back on you should be able to overwrite it with: adb push /system/app/Phone.apk
What exactly are you planning on doing with this file?
Thank you. I want to create my own images to make it look different then the stock colors.
There are 2 apks that contain dialers, one is the Contacts.apk as stated bfore that brings up the phone when the phone icon is pressed the second is in the Phone.apk appears once a call is placed, and the persons picture appears of the person you are calling.

In terminal or command prompt, navigate to the tools directory in the android SDK and run the following commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk
That will dump the file in you tools directory.
If you are having trouble with this, let me know what operating system you are using and if you have the android SDK installed.

This is confusing. I didn't think it would be so hard. I do UI's for iphone and ipod touch and this is way different. There are so many different things. Its discouraging in some ways. Sorry. I would love to create an app but of course its different. So, I stick to creating themes.
I would love to take a ROM and mod it myself or even modifying Launcher pro but it has that 9.pngs which makes it hard.
Ok, I have the Eris 2.1 rooted with Tenzo Rcmix2.0 installed. I have the SDK installed but don't know what to do with it. I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I really want to create and mod lots of apps.
this is what I've done to a phone app I downloaded from the market:
-I created my images through Photoshop and saved them to a folder with its correct name used.
-I opened draw9patch and saved the images with the correct name again to a folder.
-I named the folder drawable-hdpi that belongs in the Res folder
-took the files and folder and created a zip out of it.
-opened the AvaboxV2 and signed it.
-loaded to my phone and changed the name to the correct name and installed it
but it keeps saying application not install, I just don't get it. What step did I messed up on?
Anybody? anybody?...............................
This is what you need to do:
1. Open Contacts.apk in 7-zip
2. Copy the images over top of the original images in drawable, drawable-mdpi, and drawable-mdpi-finger (notice I didn't say anything about hdpi)
3. Close the archive.
4. Copy it back onto the device with:
Code:
adb remount
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app
Your phone may not appreciate you pushing Contacts.apk while it is running, so it may become unstable at this point. I would recommend restarting.

thank you but I'm trying to understand what you mean by push ADB. is that the one in the sdk folder? if so, I open it and it just flashes for a few seconds then closes.
ADB is a command line program that allows you to debug and move/edit files on your phone. You need to run those commands from a command prompt (should be a link in the Accessories folder on the Start menu if you can't right-click on the sdk folder and open one). Navigate to the tools folder, then run the remount and push commands like icbeer said to get your modified .apk on your phone:
Code:
C:\users\brtnbrdr> cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb remount
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb push Contacts.apk /system/app

There's an easier way, assuming you have the android SDK and ADB.
First, reboot into CWM recovery (it'll save you any troubles of root permissions).
Type this command into adb:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Then go into your SDK folder where adb is stored (usually platform-tools) and make a copy of that apk file to somewhere else. That will be your safe backup.
Then get 7zip and right-click on the apk sitting in the directory with adb, and select "open archive". Navigate to /res/drawable-hdpi and copy all the files you extracted into this directory (overwriting where necessary).
Once you've done that, close the archive. Assuming it's still in the same directory as adb, type:
adb push /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-res.apk
(Yes, it's typed twice on purpose.)
Then just reboot. If all goes well, your battery should show up. If it messes up, just move your backup to the adb folder, reboot to recovery, and reissue the adb push command above.
