I was using CM7 on my Milestone and was having around 12 hour battery life with the CPU undervolted to 550mhz. It was fine...I love CM.
I flashed to the UK official froyo recently, rooted the phone, got rid of the original launcher and a few other sys apps I never use, installed AWD, and now I have kinda gotten used to 40 hours of battery life.
The only problem is I miss some of the features of CM. Like the CM status bar...black with power settings and battery percentage meter. Oh and the theme chooser.
I know asking for the theme chooser is useless but I was wondering if the dark CM7 status bar or even the one from Cronos roms could be installed in rooted official froyo.
You can't get the power widgets on the status bar but you can use themes to change the look of your status bar. Check the Moto APAC thread in milestone development forum for themes.

Ok so i was searching around on the Desire thread and stumbled across this thread..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775970.
As far as i can tell it does not work on stock based ROMS.. but it is suppose to work on most versions of CyanogenMod.. I will most likely be trying it out soon and will report back afterwards..
I've used it a few times with sense roms but it doesn't allow you to change much, just the notification bar really.
It works on sense. I changed the battery icon and the boot screen animation.
Okay I stand corrected. This does work for stock ROMS.. Though its not quite an entire theme.. It is a nice and easy way to change notification icons, battery icon and status bar..
Hey everyone, how's it going.
Lately I've been having some problems with metamorph installed on my mytouch 3G running cyanogen mod 6.1.0. For some odd reason it says that everything has been applied but nothing is ever applied, any reason why it's doing this?
Bumpppppppppppp.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it could be a few reasons.. if your phone is utilizing the drawable-mdpi folder instead of the HDPI (low/high res) then it will think it's been applied but it won't change.. also if the cm version on that phone isn't deodexed then some mm themes won't change anything...or if that cm has options for custom stuff, you might have to enable/disable those settings.... what are you trying to theme anyway?
I'm having the same problem on my N1 with CM6.1.1
Metamorph goes though everything and prompts me to restart to apply the changes but nothing is changed. I am trying to change icons in the status bar, on one occasion the battery icon changed but then changed its self back a few seconds later.
I am new to metamorph and already have a custom theme installed by flashing in recovery... could this be causing this problem?
Cheers people
Depending on where you got the icons for the top statusbar, some phones use the drawable-hdpi folder and some use the drawable-mdpi one... if you got an icon set meant for one, but your phone uses the other, it won't change anything..even if mm says all themes applied... typically already having a custom theme won't affect metamorph tho.. if you can't figure it out, link the icon set you are trying to apply and I'll look at it for ya.. on the battery issue, some roms read in 1%, 10% or even just 20% increments so if you have a battery icon you apply that is only set up for 20% readings but your ROM reads in 10%, the battery will switch back and forth as those increments are hit...
Yep your right, i had a batt icon that went up in 1% and the new one only in 20% so i at the 20% increments i have the new icon and for every other percent i have the old one! I've tried changing the wifi and signal icons and these have both been fine! Thanx alot mate!
You dont happen to know where i can get loads of different icons from do ya? I wanna try loads out now! haha.
Edit* Also if i want to keep a battery icon that only goes up in 20% increments how do i stop the other icon coming through for the other percentages? Cheers!
Hello,
I've searched this forums a bit, but its hard to find some basic themes.
I'm looking for a theme that replaces some icons to the SGS2 icons, an extended power menu and the CM7 battery icon. Maybe the clear glass unlock but since JVU this is standard?
I used this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261080 which was perfect for me, cause it was basic and just had everything i wanted. The only problem is i think this guy wont update it anymore, cause there have been some request since JVZ, JW1 and now JVU, but still no responds..
Then i started looking and found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405380 This looks ok, but i have some questions if it will not use extra RAM wich will slow my SGS down a little bit?
But if i will use this mod, i'm still looking for the SGS2 icons and the CM7 battery icon..
So in short: Can somebody help me to find one theme that has SGS2 icons + extended menu +CM7 battery (+ clear glass)
OR a different way to only flash SGS2 icons, flash CM7 battery, that i can combine with the 9lockmod mentioned above?
(all compatible for latest JVU)
Thank you!!
Is there anybody else pissed off that after cm10, you can't change the battery icons with the cm themes? Every time I think about it, it sucks alot
Flash 3 minit battery mod 2.2 and you will have lots of battery themes
Hello all,
Currently running a stock GPE 5.1 on my HTC device. I also have xposed installed, with GB for the usual tweaks.
I found with Kitkat there were a few more mods available for theming the status bar, ie changing the icons to an IOS, MIUI or other theme. All the icons changed, however with Lollipop there are few if any that can do this?
I tried Xtana, some of the icons changed but the battery icon remains stock material. I wouldn't want to pay for the premium version which offers more themes if the free version 75% works.
That said, I have not tried it for a month or two, not sure if any updates have improved on this.
Any other mods out there that can achieve what I am looking for? GPE is not much more than stock aosp.
Thanks.
What you're looking for is Flat style bar icon, can be found on Play Store
