[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fallnSaint:
Most of these directions will work for both ICS and JB, Batt mod and Toggles need to be updated for JB

These mods are for the stock Photon Q. How to install and make your own below.

Special Thanks goes to Rangerbry, without his work here, none of us would be enjoying toggles or 1% battery.

Thanks to mrvirginia for his collection of battery mods here, as well as all the authors of these mods listed there.

As always, I am not responsible if your phone blows up. Always nandroid before changing anything in the system.

To install:

These will work on Odexed & Deodexed frameworks.

Download Zipthemer from the market

Open ZipThemer, open menu and select Update Edify

Select a flashable system zip using the browse option (Rangerbry's deodexed works fine, he also has an odexed zip posted there if you are odexed)and select.Find his work on JB Here

On the main screen press +Theme, point it to where you downloaded the modded zip file from this thread.

You should be back at the main screen, you can select other zips if you would like to flash multiple skins in one flash. When you are done press: Build It. ZipThemer will ask if you would like to create a zip to return to stock, that is up to you.

After it is done boot into recovery and flash the file, unless you changed the settings, it should be on the root of your internal sd.

Reboot your phone and you should have a new shiny skin.

Make your own:

Traditionally, you would adb pull your SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk from system/app or system/framework; decompile, make your changes, recompile, and push back to your phone. I still do this, well I keep a copy of one on hand that I have already recompiled and use 7zip to move the files around.

Zipthemer does this for you, it pulls the apk, pushes the changes to it and packages it in a nice zip file for your flashing pleasure. The real advantage here being, it is easy to share, anyone can use it because it depends on the apk located on each specific device. Also, it can be used to change any number of files across multiple apk's, in a single file. Or several smaller mods can be combined into a single flashable zip..

The mod file works in two parts, first the control file holds the description and general location of the files to be edited:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<themename>MophoQ 1% batt CM9 Circle Mod</themename>
<themeversion>1.0</themeversion>
<author>fallnSaint</author>
<phone>Photon Q</phone>
<rom>Stock</rom>
<themedescription>CM9 Circle Mod 1% Batt Icon For Photon Q</themedescription>

<item>SystemUI.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>
<description>changes the Stock 1% Battery Icon to A CM9 Circle Battery Icon</description>

The important bits here are item and path. Item tells the program what to edit and path tells it where to find it. I use Notepad++ to edit these, it is a nice, easy to use, and free program. When you are done editing, rename the control file to what you are going to name the mod.

The second part of the zip file is a folder named after the item, since most of these mods work in SystemUI/res/drawable-hdpi/ the folder would have to be set up in this manor as well. The modified content would be placed in a folder named drawable-hdpi, that folder would be placed inside a folder named res, which would be put in a folder named SystemUI. All the file and folder names have to be identical, down to punctuation and capitalization.

Once you have all this set-up, use 7zip or the like to create a zip using the control file first, named after the control file. Then add the SystemUI folder to the zip and you are done.

Feel free to use one of the existing mods here to play with it.
