hey. do you think it would be possible to make a flashable zip for the android scribble boot animation (the one without flares) ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696193 ) and a flashable zip for the super circle battery for CM6 please?
I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

They have that bootscreen as an option too, Mike. Just follow the instructions on my second post, but you don't have to upload a framework-res as the cyanogen framework-res files are already available in the dropdown at the end. I tried the Cyanogen 6.1 RC1 selection they had and it worked at least until the 121 nightly. I'm back on plain rc1 now.
*edit* well, third post I made now....since something freaky happened and this is now the first post.
This is a flashable zip that adds the circle battery to your status bar and the dancing droid boot animation. It was made with the uotkitchen (circle.glx.nl) and tested to work on fr007 (does NOT require de-odexed rom). Should work on all of the LiberatedFR (froyo) roms.
Nandroid backup and flash from recovery. If you don't know how to do this just search the forums....as this has been explained too many times.
Just thought it would be convenient for some people if one was already made and posted.
Disclaimer: not responsible for...anything.
Thanks!!!!
works great. thanks. any chance for a green to yellow to red circle?

Guys just head on over to http://circle.glx.nl/ and create to your heart's content. All I did was the circle battery and bootsplash (they have several to choose from). The other items like status bar mods, etc may cause you to bootloop if not using a de-odexed rom....so careful.
When at the end, upload this framework-res.apk. I have attached the framework-res.apk for the liberatedFR rom to this message for your convenience.
The dancing Droid is entertaining, but the real benefit is the circle battery indication. I can now delete my battery widget. Thanks!

Wow! Very easy! Just installed the circle batt "version F" with white numbers on the wife's Aria.
The wife: Aria - Cyanogen RC1 looking fine with her new circle battery

Is there any kind of tutorial on how to do this circle? I'd like to do one that is green to yellow to red. (Since I just installed yours, I don't even know if it changes - 77% and still blue)
Got a walkthrough on how to make one from start to zip?

its very easy and walks you through the steps. the hardest part is seperating your framework apk but thats simple!

for some reason, when i add boot animation, the image appears very large... the scribble was really jerky and the only letters on the screen were "ndrio". the "a" and "d" were off the sides.
I made one in the kitchen, haven't installed it yet. Is there no way to customize the notification bar color for HTC Aria users? I see that there is some note about desire users only. What is an Aria user (running Liberated with Froyo FR006) to do?
I just made a new one in the kitchen. I am running cyanogen 6.1 and designated as such in the drop down everything appears to have applied except the battery circle is always green despite checking gradient. Any ideas?

Again, I just posted that zip and don't actually have anything to do with the site. As I said, just the circle and boot splash were confirmed to work with the standard FR rom. Any of the other features should require the de-odexed version of the rom, which I haven't tried. That may be your issue.
So i rooted and all that stuff, and i install a battery icon. the SGS Battery Icon Mod 2. and it reboots, but when going to the homescreen after reboot, i keeps looping into a black screen and back to home, with 3 vibrations. What is the problem and how do i prevent this in the future? I also had this problem when installing a font..

I believe you still have to flash back to stock using odin. Sounds like the battery mod you flashed was not compatible with your current state.
If you do not know what Odin is you can find it in the captivate development section

battery mods are not universal across devices and roms. the battery mod has to be made for your particular rom/firmware version (jf6/ji6/jk3/jk4/jpu/etc) you can make your own battery mod by visiting: http://circle.glx.nl/
you will need the ability to copy the framework-res.apk out of your current running rom (located /system/framework/)
the file that the kitchen spits out is clockworkmod flashable

I didn't know about that kitchen! Sweet.
Blue-segmented Battery Indicator Mod CWM Flashable zip, cooked in UOT Kitchen (online) from STOCK JL5 framework-res.apk (attached below). Please do not blame me if you brick your phone by flashing this to any ROM other than STOCK JL5. (STOCK Voodoo JL5 kernel is ok.)
Just copy to /sdcard and flash using CWM.
A perhaps more conservative approach would be to cook your own CWM flashable using UOT Kitchen (online):
http://circle.glx.nl/
XDA thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775970
I say more conservative only in that the UOT Kitchen website will cook the precise version of the framework-res.apk that currently resides on your phone, thus eliminating any chance of versioning problems. This is very easy to do, even for a klutz like me. Takes all of ~15 minutes; no programming at all, just upload the framework-res.apk from your phone and download the resulting CWM flashable. Having said that, the attached flashable works fine on stock JL5.
It seems to me that this method may well represent a future trend in mod'ing, given that it is so flexible (configurable) and that the dev need only maintain a single website-based version of his/her code. Great job, QLIRATU, MENDOZINAS, AVREEN, and company!
Screen-by-screen instructions for Vibrant users, to avoid ambiguity:
(1) Make sure that you are running a deodexed ROM; otherwise this will not work. (E.g., krylon360 recently posted stock Vibrant Froyo JL5 flashables in both odexed and deodexed versions. Use the deodexed version).
(2) First Screen: I used the first version option on the first page of the website, "SCB with %, Version [A-J]". More specifically, I used Version B-White because I have black wallpaper.
(3) Second Screen: Choose "do not include icons" (that has to do with other mod'ing not applicable to Vibrant).
(4) Third screen: Choose "do not change notification status bar" (N/A to Vibrant).
(5) Fourth screen: Choose "do not include boot animation." (N/A to Vibrant).
(6) Fifth screen: Choose "not not include Windows animation" and disregard the warning in red. (N/A to Vibrant).
(7) Sixth screen: As detailed on website and in XDA thread, you can upload the version of framework-res.apk currently on your phone, or the version in the flashable zip file that you used to install your current ROM. If you do the latter, don't do what I did at first and try to upload the unzipped framework-res.apk from the flashable ROM file. You must unzip the flashable ROM file and then upload the unzipped framework-res.apk.
(7a) Note that after you upload, nothing happens until you press "Next," then the upload begins.
(8) Wait a couple of minutes for the cooking, then download cooked result from link provided and flash using CWM.
(9) It might be a good idea to un-install any previously-installed battery indicator mod (e.g., a battery indicator downloaded from Market) before installing this one, although I do not know whether this is necessary.
Enjoy!
P.S. Whatever you do, PLEASE do not donate to me. My income taxes are complicated enough as it is.
Thanks for this. Does this work on both odex and deodexed versions?

Right. This was cooked in UOT Kitchen; and UOT Kitchen only does deodexed. In general, odexed ROMs are not mod'able because parts of their applications are stored in various places.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-709630.html
"Deodexed ROMs have their .apk's (which are basically the application packages) repackaged in a certain way. An "odex" can be thought of as a collection of parts of applications that have been pulled out and optimized before booting. This speeds up the boot process - in a way, it preloads part of the applications - but it also makes hacking those apps difficult because part of the original code is already extracted somewhere else.
Deodexing is just a process of putting those pieces back into the original applications. It takes a while to extract those parts and build the .dex cache (aka Dalvik cache), but only because the relevant parts aren't in an easy-to-access place for the system. The advantage of this is that an app can be modified effectively and the developer doesn't have to worry about conflicts from the separate odex part of the code.
So, short version: "Deodexed" ROMs have all their apps put back together. If an app can be themed, for example, a deodexed version of that app will not get messed up when the modified .apk tries to mesh with the odex of the original un-modified .apk. Because it's not there.
If you want an aftermarket theme, you need a deodexed ROM. I'm not sure if deodexing can be done to individual apps within a non-deodexed ROM."

You must mean battery life on JL5? (Because this mod will have microscopic or no effect on battery life.)
As to JL5, I am in the process of investigating JL5 compared to JL4. I will post results in due course.

Can I use UOT kitchen to customize other parts of the theme of any JL5 roms, like icons of status bar, boot animation?

I believe not, but you will need to check with the UOT Kitchen peoople.
This will not work with Axura 2.2 with JL5 stock Voodoo5 Kernel. Got me stuck into into boot ani bootloop. I flashed back a recent Nandroid and was fine.
The Kernel may be based on stock but the framework-res.apk is too modified in the Rom to run this and is not based on JL5. Custom boot ani's in custom roms are tied into battery mods and through this crap way off.
Like the op said STOCK, and that must mean completely stock not just a kernel based on stock.
The search for an accurate battery mod that I can see with Axura continues.

For some phone models, yes, but not for the Vibrant/Galaxy S, I believe. Check out the website to see. (It is not my website; I simply used it to cook the battery mod.)

I may not be following your post very well. When you say "this" will not work with Axura 2.2 w/ JL5, are you talking about the flashable zip attached to the OP, or to the method using UOT Kitchen? I believe that UOT kitchen will cook whatever framework-res.apk you are currently running. Just copy your framework-res.apk to the root of your SD card and upload it to UOT kitchen to cook-in the segmented battery mod, if you have not already tried that. UOT kitchen is very easy to use, as I described in the OP, certainly easier than "continuing the search."
I do not own a bionic but this has been tested to work properly. The framework is a stock deodexed framework-res.apk. The modded files are services.jar and framework-res.apk. If you run into any issues just let me know! I will make it a flashable zip when I get home later tonight for easy flashing!
Framework-res.apk download: http://www.mediafire.com/?6yw29owowq262a3
Services.jar download: http://www.mediafire.com/?d9zhuxxg0m8w0z9
The first boot will take longer than normal so do not be alarmed!
You must be deodexed for this to work. Otherwise you will just end up with a new battery icon.
Thanks. Whats the best way to install these. Can you make flashable zip please.
Working on the flashable zip now. Gimmie like 15 min.

Flashed this and it changed my notification bar charge level icon from the circle with 10% increments to a vertical bar but still with 10% increments. And now while charging it doesn't show percent, only the lightning bolt icon, whereas before it would alternate.
Any thoughts? My widget shows 74% but the notification bar says 70%.

Couldn't get the zip to work. It seems to have installed fine, my battery meter changed, but it's not counting by 1%. Do I need to be deodexed first because I haven't done that yet.
Edit: Forgot to refresh before I posted. Same thing as gwbennet.
You must be deodexed for this to work.
Worked great for me as well on kejars deodexed after flashing.
Yeah make sure your deodexed, Thats probably the problem. I dont think it could work on stock, i have a feeling the odex files ruin stuff.

So after flashing this can I go to UOT and make a new battery icon with 1 percent increcements?

A quick update:
Found the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store which does a very good job. Along with a large selection of some easy to use pull-down switches in the Notification Bar is a battery icon showing %. Actually very nice.
However, not being exactly what I was looking for I tried to use the OG Battery Icon Mod from XDA with my (mostly) stock (Odexed) ROM. It was unsuccessful.
Thinking it might be a problem with the Odexed ROM, I flashed CWM Recovery to replace my previous TWRP Recovery (for some reason the DeOdexed ROM des not flash with TWRP) and then flashed JMZ's DeOdexed v1.08 ROM. Unfortunately, I ended up the same failure when running the OGBattery Mod Tool (the tool was unable to download the systemui.apk).
Therefore, so far I am unable to make the UI modification, but am pleased to find the Notification Toggle App -- and with some help from Titanium Backup my phone is back where I wanted it, now running a DeOdexed ROM. I went back to TWRP Recovery. I have CWM on my A500 tablet, but TWRP just seems easier on the First.

You can use UOT kitchen. Just Google it. If you feel adventurous you can download my sense ROM and pull the diff battery mods I have there and push them to your device. All you need is systemui.apk. but this will only work if you are on a deodex ro.

Feeling adventurous, I downloaded your sense ROM & extracted it. In systemui.apk I see there are two (apparently duplicated) res folders and the sub-folders/files in res are also duplicated. Is this an error in the build or necessary as place-holders of sone kind. I thought I might try to replace the res folder in the deodexed ROM with this one, but it concerned me.

@jmk : After the confusion (to me) I tried a couple of more things:
1. Replaced systemui.apk in stock ROM with the systemui.apk from your Sense ROM. That did give me a Sense horizontal battery with %, but was too small to see. I was hoping for the percent circle.
2. I used UOT Kitchen to attempt to make the modifcation, but Kitchen returned a SHTF error, so no results yet.
Success!
I loaded & set up JMZ's Sense ROM with the icons I wanted, then copied systemUI.apk to the sdcard. After restoring my "stock" ROM I renamed the systemUI.apk in /system, then copied the one from the sdcard to /system & reset the permissions. I now have my desired battery icons!
@ jMZ: Thank you for the guidance. --Larry
