What part did the ZergRush affect, if not the kernel? If I use this version, with the correct zImage file if I can find it, then I should be ok second time around.

lol.. the joy of cross posting!

I was going to go to bed but now you've made me want to finish what I started.

Please work....

**Please note this modification is intended for experienced users only. If you do not know what you are doing, don't even bother downloading it**

I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your Kindle Fire as a result of using this modification. I know that it works properly when the instructions are followed. As with anything custom you do to you devices, proceed with caution, and be willing to accept any possible consequences of your actions.

I don't know who else out there is like me, but I can't stand not knowing what my actual battery % is, so I've gone ahead and implemented a 1% accurate battery mod. This is a modification to the framework-res.apk, and since we don't have any way of flashing, it requires a little bit of knowledge to do.

How to Install:

**You MUST be rooted**

1. Unzip framework-res.apk to /sdcard/ on you KF

2. Disconnect you KF from computer

3. Mount your /system/ rw (I use mount system (rw/ro))

3. Use your favorite file manager (I use Ghost Commander) with root access to make a backup of your original framework-res.apk in /system/framework (you can just rename the original one to framework-res.apk.bkk)

3. Copy framework-res.apk from /sdcard/ to /system/framework/

4. You will immediately get a force close, you MUST immediately press and hold the power button and select shut down

5. Start your KF back up, and it should be good to go.

(Printerscape has reported that when he attempted to use this with root explorer he ran into problems which caused a bootloop and needing to unbrick. I personally have been using Ghost Commander without any issues, so please make sure you have a backup and know how to unbrick your device in case it comes to that.)

You can also do this all with adb if you know what to do it.

sl0ttedpig provided these adb instructions, which will work.

adb push C:\path\to\apk\framework-res.apk /sdcard/Download/

adb shell

# su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cd /system/framework

# cp framework-res.apk framework-res.bak

# cp /sdcard/Download/framework-res.apk .

Upon first boot, your google and amazon acounts will need to be set up again, but this is as simple as logging back in.

Download:

If you haven't read through everything above, you don't know how to unbrick your device, or you don't feel like you have enough information to go through with this, please do not download this file.

Thanks to Printerscape and sl0ttedpig for testing this out for me.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Printerscape:
So just move framework-res.apk into /system/framework, and restart the device? I don't see why that's "experienced users only" =P. I'll volunteer; I'd love to have this.

How'd you make the framework-res.apk? Did you just get the original framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk off the device, and use UOT Kitchen? I'd like to have one that's just the standard horizontal bar with the # on it, vs. circular (so customize).

Only precaution is to make sure you keep the back up, and restore the original framework-res when Amazon has an update of their ROM (if you intend to keep going with the original ROM).

Also, why/how is your "My kindle" thing orange?! Mine's just white =(.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] stranula:
You are correct that this is a very simple mod to install, however that being said, I have to assume that there are a lot of people with little to no experience, and this is a system app, so making mistakes can have real consequences. Such as, backing up the original framework-res and then restarting without copying it over, don't know what would happen, but I assume a bootloop, and I don't want to try to get people out of their holes.

As for why my kindle is orange, no clue, just is.

I did use the original framework-res from the kindle, you don't need to modify systemui for battery mods. UOT Kitchen, however convenient, will not work with this because they have a file limit of 14mb and this is 24 or so, so I had to use apkmanager and edit the xmls myself. The images, were taken from a UOT cooked framework from my Droid Charge and then I modified them to get the sizing right. I also do not care for the circular battery and prefer the horizontal battery, however, I am not willing to create ~201 new images just to get this. I wanted to maintain the theme of white on black so it doesn't stick out. Perhaps I will look at using the orange in the "my kindle" as the background.

Check your PM for the link to download.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] sl0ttedpig:
Sure, I'd be willing to test this out for you. Seems like a pretty neat little hack! :)

Also, my "kindle" is orange too! I thought they all were!?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] stranula:
PM'd you a link
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Printerscape:
Did what you said, bricked it:

*Using Root Explorer, mounted /system/ as read/write.

*Went to /system/framework/ , copied the original framework-res.apk to /sdcard/backup , renamed it to framework-res.bak.

*Copied your framework-res.apk over to /system/framework/ , overwriting original file.

*Force close gallore, as expected.

*Held power button, reboot, stuck on boot screen.

Went through unbricking procedure, but still stuck in boot loop. Bah.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] stranula:
Odd, does your device show up in adb? If so you should be able to adb pull your original, mount /system/, and adb push it back.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Printerscape:
Yea, that's what I did. I couldn't mount because I had no root after going through the unbricking procedure.

I temp rooted it with zergrush, then ADB pushed the original framework-res.apk, and it restarted just fine.

Going to try ADB pushing your framework-res.apk , instead of going through the Root Explorer.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] stranula:
And you wondered why I said experienced users only. haha. Glad you know what you are doing.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Printerscape:
haha =P

The ADB push worked; I see the battery now =D.

I suppose Root Explorer screwed something up x.x. Oh well; thanks!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] stranula:
Fantastic, so glad it worked out. Makes me weary to put up the download link though. We will see how it goes for sl0ttedpig (aka The Evil Dr. Pork-Chop)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] sl0ttedpig:
Awesome work! :D

I've also put the adb command line version of how to get this working for anyone so inclined. You MUST be root!!

adb push C:\path\to\apk\framework-res.apk /sdcard/Download/

adb shell

# su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# cd /system/framework

# cp framework-res.apk framework-res.bak

# cp /sdcard/Download/framework-res.apk .

You'll see a force close message, and you should immediately hold the power button and select shut down.

On first boot, everything seemed to be OK, except "sl0ttedpig's kindle" was now "My kindle". So, by replacing the file, it seems to unregister your Kindle as well, but by entering your details again (I went to the Appstore), it seems to be OK after that. :D
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] blauciel:
Widgetsoid has a battery widget that shows single percent icon as an alternative.

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] stranula:
You are correct, replacing framework-res will unregister your accounts, both amazon and google. But this will only happen when you first replace it. Thanks for testing it.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] sl0ttedpig:
Yeah, didn't realize that I'd have to do it with Google too. A minor inconvenience.

I especially like the recharge animation, and I can certainly see how you wouldn't want to recreate all of that! Although for the record, I quite like it the way it is. :D
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Printerscape:
I'm just baffled as to why the "Kindle" is orange, and mine's white...

I WANT IT ORANGE NAO! =P
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] stranula:
I can't even begin to guess.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] sl0ttedpig:
What does the name say on Amazon.com under registered devices? You can edit it there, but from my short test it doesn't seem to update the name on the device. Also you could mess around with un-registering it online, and adding it back there vs. doing it via the device itself.

As an example, online it say's "sl0ttedpig's Kindle", and on my device it says "sl0ttedpig's kindle" The kindle is orange and with a lower case "k".

Are you using more than one name, i.e. "sl0ttedpig's awesome Kindle"?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Printerscape:
That did it. I named it "<first_name>'s Kindle Fire". I removed the "Fire", and it's now orange!

Thanks! =)

hello

i also bricked my device after installing the battery mod :(

can u give me a guide to unbrick it?

i have tried the unbricking method from xda but it doesn't help

thx so much! ><
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] stranula:
If you did the unbricking method, that means you have/had adb access, which means that all you had to do was remove the modified framework-res.apk and rename your backup that you made. However, I don't know what you've done now, so I think this should do it for you http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378063
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devilot:
Worked for me, although I had to force a second reboot via adb after my boot animation displayed for nearly ten minutes on the initial reboot. :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] helentsang1214:
sorry for the late reply!

at the end i fixed it by directly pushing the original framework-res.apk from the stock rom into the /system/framework lol

thx for your great mod and help :)

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
FYI people you can get any battery mod you want from uot kitchen. Only it won't flash just pull the systemUI.apk & framework-res.apk from the zip and install as instructed in this forum. I've had several made with no problems. I use the root explorer method but remember to change the permissions. Here's a step by step.

1. have your mod cooked at the kitchen

2. open up zip on desktop drag files to desktop

3. copy files to your sdcard

4. move or copy both files to a system folder (can't change permission while on sdcard) ( like system/vendor, change permissions to rr--r--r (very important to change permissions at this point, if you don't you get the bootloop)If you use adb push permissions will change automatically.

5. after changing permissions move or copy framework-res.apk to system/framework folder replacing file.

6. after changing permissions move or copy systemUI to system/app folder and replace file

7. reboot enjoy your new battery mod

8. THIS SHOULD BE #1 ALWAYS DO A NANO BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING ANY MOD!!!!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] atraperegrinus:
Thanks a ton for this! But can you point us in the direction of where we can grab the battery graphics originally shown in this thread? Ive personally never seen it, tried multiple google searches with no luck :(
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
I've never seen the OP's mod it was gone before i started reading this thread that's why I told everybody how to get their own.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] atraperegrinus:
it was a double ringed circle with the batt % inside the circle. pretty snazzy looking.. I still want it. I havn't had any luck in even finding a picture to post here to show you...
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] atraperegrinus:
i finally found it, this is the graphic, originally in this thread though it was orange. lol
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
That mod can be found in the UOT kitchen. than use my instructions to install
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mughalgxt:
The framework file size is beyond the limit imposed by the uot kitchen upload hence no way to achieve the battery modd.Besides, the orange battery circle is not available in the uot kitchen this was extracted from other sources which none bother to share.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
what rom are you using?

I keep reading people saying the framework file is to large for the kitchen, but every rom i've checked out is under the 17mb size limit for the kitchen. as for the colors you can make the battery mod any color you want.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
here is the battery mod I think you all want. It was made in the uot kitchen.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mughalgxt:
Thanks, but as said afore, the framework-res.apk in native amazon gingerbread os is too large to upload directly.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
I stand corrected the stock roms framework-res.apk is to large for the kitchen. Since I've been running custom roms from day 1 had no idea the file was so large. You could cook it yourself I've read how before. Try a search on how to do. Good luck.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
if your using stock rom let me know what version and I can cook it for you also what color theme you want

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

let me know what version your using and I will cook it for you also what color theme you want

better yet if you would upload your framework-res.apk file I will modify it and send back.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mughalgxt:
The orange colored circle battery would be fine and am using 6.3.1 stock rom rooted. Since the file size is 26mb you can dump the rom and try cooking else extract it from a rooted version.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
try this using my method from my how to install post. please remember to do a nano backup. I have no way of testing. let me know how it goes. I've made battery mods for my phone this is first time for the kindle.

edit: this will not work on a stock rom only custom roms
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] atraperegrinus:
gede added this into the new build for his ICS ROM, gedeROM.

check his thread for more details. :D
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] mughalgxt:
Nah not working on the stock 6.3.1 Rom stuck on kindle fire boot logo. Waited all day for others to confirm but seems like very few are on stock Roms, self modding.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
ya I got the same thing happening to me works great on custom roms but I get the loop also after installing the stock rom. Sorry gave it my best try.

You might try doing it yourself using a script from the apps & theming section called "tickle my android" He has 26 premade battery mods encluding the one you want thought its blue. good luck and fair well in your persuit of a custom batt mod on stock rom. Peace

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

I took a little time to see why the framework-res.apk file was so big and discovered it has 22mb of wall paper .pngs so I removed the wall paper and sumitted to the kitchen when I get the file back I'll add the wallpaper back and see how it goes.

does not work. stays in bootloop
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Ticklefish:
Well, I can always include an orange one in the next version. It'll add some nice variety. :D

Changing the battery icon was the first mod I learnt how to do and I know rather more about it than is probably healthy. It's one of the most basic mod's you can do and it should work on everything. I don't have a Kindle Fire yet, sadly, so I can't test it out but the procedure is basically the same on every system I've encountered.

Because it's so basic, you shouldn't be getting bootloops on the stock rom and I think I know why you are. Simply put, don't push system app's to a phone or tablet while it's running. Sometimes it works, but sometimes you can get all kinds of strange bugs. Before I worked this out, I had mysterious force closes, my wifi would drop out, all sorts of things.

Instead, my advice would be to do this:

Use ADB to pull framework-res.apk and/or SystemUI.apk to your PC (It looks like the battery icons are stored in framework-res.apk on the KF stock rom, but they're in different places in different roms and devices)

Make a copy of the files you've just pulled, as backups

Use apktool to decompile the above files.

Replace the battery icons with the ones you want.

Replace stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml with suitable files (if you're going from a 10% to a 1% battery, for example)

Recompile

Use 7zip or similiar to open (not extract) the original .apk file and the recompiled one.

Drag the 'res' folder from the recompiled apk into the original apk.

Close the original apk

Extract 'resources.arsc' from the recompiled apk and use 7z to add it into the old apk, making sure to set the compression ratio to 'STORE'

Reboot the phone into recovery

Mount the /system partition

Use ADB to push the files back to your phone

Unmount the /system partition

Reboot

Wait

Wait some more

Wait a bit longer

And there it is! A shiny new battery icon!

It sounds like a lot of work but it works perfectly every time. It's a bit more complicated on Linux as you need to correct the permissions but otherwise it's the same idea.

Tickle My Android will do most of this for you, but it's handy to understand what's going on if you're starting out in the world of Android modding.

Try the above and let me know what happens. It should work but don't forget to make that backup, just in case!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] inspired55:
this worked great I was forgetting to replace the resource.arsc . So either your way pushing the framework.apk or my way using root explorer it works for stock rooted roms. Thank you
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Ticklefish:
