How does this theme work? Does it poll the battery every x seconds?

mako | paranoid | harsh
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Nope, it just displays an image for each % depending on the current level of the battery. It's just like any other theme you might download that shows battery percent, except that these themes only change the battery icons, and don't theme the entire phone. It should have absolutely zero impact on battery life.

Esentially what the theme does (what all Theme-chooser themes do, really) is redirects android from using a stock image to using a new image that is included in the theme apk. I just added all 100 levels instead of using just the stock 5 or 6 levels. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
OK, Digital theme has been added to the OP and I updated the CM Thin theme because the preview image wasn't the same as the other themes, and that irritates me. :silly:

I've got some requests to fulfill too so you should see those go up soon, now that I'm finally off work.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MrKaupo:
Hmm, great work, but for new guys you could post short guide about this "Just download the theme you want from the attachments below and install/apply like always"
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I actually want to redo the op of each thread anyway. A lot of what is in there now isn't needed anymore. I'll do it sometime in the next few days. I'm gonna shorten the directions and change them pretty much how you described.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MrKaupo:
Great, because i am new to android phone, i have no idea how to install, i guess i am not the only one here. But great work, stock android users will love this.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
You did figure it out, didn't you? I originally made these for the Paranoid Android ROM because it lacks battery percent right now, but I think I'm gonna test a few different ROMs this weekend and if all works, change things up on the thread to make it clear it works for any ROM. I might even post it in the general section, but I don't know if I'm ready for that level of attention. lol

Thanks for the kind words!!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Kick-Ass Joe:
Keep up the good work! :)

No, I assume, I have to put images somewhere and run that .apk file.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
No images necessary. Just download the apk of the version you like, or versions (you can install as many as you like) then run the apk to install it. Then go to the theme chooser section of your ROM and select the battery theme you want. Your ROM does have to have the theme chooser engine on it for these to work. It "should" work on any ROM with theme chooser, but I can't swear to it. Its only been officially tested on Paranoid Android. Let me know if you need anything else!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] MrKaupo:
Oh I thought this works on stock, too...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Sorry about that. It is a theme chooser theme. When I redo the op I'll make it more clear. I don't know if there's a way to add theme chooser to stock. Sorry again.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] onurdurdu:
Thanks!

I really want to thank you very much. I was searching this battery percentage at PA and now I have this because of you ;) :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I really appreciate that. This all started out because battery percent is one thing I really, really missed on the PA ROM but all the other features were so great, I couldn't let something like that stop me from using it. :) So I decided to make the themes to use myself, and ben.nesheim had seen me post about it and asked if I wanted his help testing, then suggested I post it, and it took off from there. I know the devs are going to add battery percent to the ROM sometime and that will make my themes obsolete, but I'm just so happy I could share something with the community. I hate to feel like I take take take and never give back, if I'm able. Thank you for the kind words...... :)

@mikkis2k: I'm downloading some ROMs now that I think have the icons you asked for earlier. If I can find them in a stock ROM, which I believe they are, I can have the theme up pretty quick. Unfortunately, hotfile is being extremely slow. I tried some custom ROMs first, but couldn't find the icons. I'm not familiar with the SGS3 so I'm kinda muddling through looking for the icons......... I also don't want to use custom work without permission, but if I can find it in stock it's fair game. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] DimSumDan:
Just wanted to say, thanks!

:D
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Uh60m Pilot:
Not going to lie... It is nice to read a thread that does not have a bunch of people complaining all the time. Great work OP. Loving the themes!

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Haha, thank you. I know exactly what you mean. The AK Kernel thread on the GNex forum is like this. Its so laid back and everybody is helping one another. Even when you post off topic its taken in stride and the question is answered. Its pretty awesome.

As for the sgs3 icons, I've found somebody who has those icons and I've sent them a PM to see if I can use them. Couldn't find it in stock. I'll post it as soon as I get his permission, if he's OK with it. Thank you all for being patient! :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 3rdeyer:
Thanks for this, looks and works great.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cb474:
I'll add my thanks again too. I've been enjoying having this feature on PA, as it was sorely missed.

I'm also wondering if you had a chance to add the yellow lightening bolt without animation to the off center theme or just moved on to other things? I'd love to have that, but no worries if you don't feel like it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I finally got the theme you requested put up. It was hard for me to find the icons like this, I must have downloaded 6 or 8 SGS3 ROMs looking for them. BTW, why are SGS3 ROMs so big!? The smallest I found was 800MBs, some over 1GB! Anyway, let me know what you think. Again, I didn't make these icons, I just managed to find somebody that had them......

I honestly haven't been able to make much more progress on that, because I'm having a hard time getting it to look good so small. I had a post somewhere back in this thread where I was saying we might need to find somebody good with photoshop to help make the icons. I think it got buried or something. I'm sorry about that........

Also, if you guys can, I'd like for you to swing by this thread and hit the thanks button on the OP, ATTACK. It's his icon pack that has made most of these (maybe all) possible, given my rather limited photoshop skills. He OK'd the use of the icons, but I'd like to give him "something" back.

Thanks! :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cb474:
Yes, I remember the post, since I was the one who pointed out that it might be hard to see the lightening bolt once the icon was shrunk down to status bar size. But then after shrinking the icon myself on my phone just to see, I decided it was good enough for me, which I previously posted.

So I'm fine with the icon with the yellow lightening bolt as you posted it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38409562&postcount=57

I'd be grateful if you could make a theme just with that version of the icon for charging and no animation. No further changes necessary. But again, if you don't feel like it, that's fine too.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] smohanv:
It would be more appropriate if the title specifies that it is only for custom roms.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
If you're good with that look, I'll try to make those icons today. I didn't think it looked that good to me, but if you're happy with it then so am I. I don't know if I just missed your post or what, but I thought mine was the last one on the subject. Sorry. :(

Well, that's kinda what the Paranoid Android part is for. :) It technically is made strictly for PA and tested only on that ROM. I do plan to redo the OP some more so maybe I can do something to clarify that point. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
OK, here's the theme I made with the yellow charging lightning bolt. Let me know what you think. I'm not really sure what I think of how it turned out yet. It's a little hard to see the lightning bolt, but there is literally no more room to either side of the lightning bolt on the icons with big numbers, like 88, and I didn't want to make it bigger on the small number icons for the sake of keeping it all the same.

I hope you like it. I'm not gonna put it in the OP since it was a special request. Sorry it took so long, Guess there was a little misunderstanding in there........
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jaxenroth:
I've noticed that on the latest PA, the theme reverts back to the org PA theme after a reboot. Otherwise this is great, thx for you work.

Sent from my Phone...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
It doesn't do that to me. The themes all stay in effect through a reboot. This is the first time I've heard of that issue. Does it do it on all themes to you or just one? You might try uninstalling and reinstalling if its just one theme.

Do you have the full 4.2.2 ROM on N4 yet? We haven't gotten it on GNex yet so it might be that too. We still have the partial 4.2.2. Anybody else on the newest PA having that issue?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jaxenroth:
Yes. I'll try and uninstall and reinstall. Could be a bug due to the new drivers in 4.2.2

Edit: after uni/reins seems to be working fine now. Thx

Sent from my Phone...
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
OK. Let me know how it works. If anybody else has that problem that reads this, please post it. :) If it is due to 4.2.2 then I'll have to wait until we get a build to test it. :(

If that doesn't fix it, would you mind trying another theme and see if it works? Doesn't have to be one of mine, just some theme. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] linelock:
I'm on the latest PA build and using your circle battery Theme and it sticks after a reboot.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Awesome! I'm glad it's working on the latest build too. You had me worried there... lol

Thanks,

Thank you for that!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cb474:
No worries about missing the post. I was just wondering about it.

That's great!! Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.

Yeah, the lightening bold it kind of tiny. But I can (more or less) see it and for me it's better than the awkward flashing back and forth charging animation. So I'm happy.

One other possibility I just thought of, instead of an animation, is to have the top part of the battery that's empty be yellow, when in charging mode. Just another thought, if you're interested. I'm happy with the lightening bolt as is.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I'm really glad you're happy with it. And that part about making the top part yellow, I think might actually be easy to do. I'm working on some icons for somebody else right now, and it's helping me learn photoshop a little better. I think I'll be done with those tomorrow, so I think I'll try and do the yellow thing after that. I'll let you know how it goes. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
Been using the S3 mod and love the look :thumbup: , for me it compliments the stock PA/AOSP look. I have a suggestion for it though, I think it would look better with a black lightening bolt (as per stock when charging) also is there any way when charging to display a static battery percentage and just have the battery icon itself moving or maybe just with a static lightening bolt in it? I'm not sure this this will be possible in the constraints of a theme, but if it is I think it would look better, as the percentage counting up looks kind of "busy".
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I agree that its a little busy and I might take the animation out of the sgs3 theme, but I can't really make a static percent with a changing battery. The black lightning bolt would be easy and the static percent is nothing more than swapping a file. Those would be easy, even together. If I understand you right, you would be good with static percent and black lightning bolt, with no movement? Let me know if that's good with you and I can have the theme up tomorrow. :) Sorry I can't do the moving icon, I haven't quite figured that one out yet.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
Sounds good. If you have the time that would be awesome. no rush. :good: I think some things just aren't possible within a theme anyway. I think just a static lightening bolt and static percentage are all that are needed anyway. No need to apologise for anything either mate - what you have done so far has been a great service to PA users.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Here is one SGS3 style theme with black lightning bolt and static percentage while charging. Let me know what you think of it. I'm not extremely talented with photoshop so if there's something you think doesn't look right, just say the word. :) I also removed the animation from the regular SGS3 theme. If anybody liked the animation and wants it, I'll post it here.

Also, I need some ideas from everybody. I'm not extremely fond of the preview images on the themes right now. They're OK, but it is a little hard to tell which theme you're applying from the screenshot, IMHO. Does anybody have any ideas of what might be better? I don't really like text only previews, so maybe some kind of picture? Thanks!

@CB474: I'm still trying to figure out how to make the yellow look good on your request. It's a little more difficult than Higgsy's because of the numbers in front of the battery.......
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
Cheers for that it works nicely! For the previews I think a screen shot of the desktop with a PA wallpaper in the background with whichever battery icon its for in the middle of the screenshot and then maybe the name of it below
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I like that. It shouldn't be too hard to do either. I want something more uniform than I have now. I don't like different percentages and times on every preview, so I could make that work really well. Thanks! I'm glad you like the theme. Let me know if you want anything else! :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
Here's what I mean, knocked this up on the phone in picsay pro
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I like it. I think I'll try to get through all the themes as I can and do the preview like that. I just really want it easier to read and look better. What you posted is great. Thanks again!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
NP got to say the new one you did for me is as close to stock as you are going to get with a percentage. Cheers for taking the time.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Thanks. I appreciate that and I had fun doing it. On stock the lighting bolt is actually clear and looks black because of the status bar behind it. I had to color the lightning bolts black so I wasn't sure it would turn out well. I was pleased with it though. Also, I just bought PicSay Pro after seeing your picture. I've never messed with it before, free or pro, but its an awesome app. Thanks once again! lol
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
arrh its clear on stock, maybe it should have been made clear then rather than black, black is good for me anyway :good: Yeah think I bought picsay in like 2010, it dosn't get updated much, but whats already there is pretty powerful deffo one to have.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I almost asked you before I started coloring them in but I figured black was what you were going for. Making them clear really ought to be super quick. I would like to get cb474's yellow icons done first if I can, but I'll try and do some with clear lightning bolts tomorrow. All I should have to do is take the stock battery icons and paste them over the sgs3 icons. I'm pretty sure they're the same size. I'll do it either way, it just might take longer if it isn't just copy paste. Its no big deal. I want to make the icons all compatible with PA's per app coloring soon, and that's one step closer. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
That would be quality.:highfive:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] mitch44:
Thanks for your Themes. I love the circle theme :good:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Kryptonice:
Dont work for me, only the 0, 15, 28 etc.etc. show up :(

How to fix this?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
This doesn't make sense, please explain in more detail as to what your issues are and with which theme. might also be worth posting what ROM/Version you are using,
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Are you on Paranoid Android ROM? Its only technically supposed to work with PA. It has been reported to work with other ROMs, but maybe not all. Although if it works at all, it should work fully. Any info about your phone setup would be great :)

Edit: I missed Higgsy's post at first. Just saw he asked the same I did. lol
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jpeterson066:
This doesn't mess with PA's color splash on app does it?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Not AFAIK. The only thing this does is replace the battery icons. Some of the batteries don't look right if you change status bar icon colors. Its something I still have to work on, but the only effect is to the battery icons themselves.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Well, I worked on the clear lightning bolt tonight. I had all 102 charging icons fixed, and when I put it on my phone it did NOT turn out well. lol There were weird white lines around each lightning bolt, so I need to keep working on it. Same thing with the yellow charging animation for cb474. It makes the numbers look weird. I'm not done working on either, just wanted to give you two a status update. I'll get it done soon, I just have to work out the kinks....... :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cb474:
Thanks. Your work on this is very much appreciated. I'm okay with the tiny yellow lightening bolt that you already put together at my request, though. So if you get tired of this, don't feel obliged to finish the yellow animation for me.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I appreciate that. I still want to figure it out, if for no other reason than I don't like to leave something unfinished. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cb474:
Yeah, I can be like that too. That's cool. I'll be interested to see how it turns out.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Darkuso:
Anyone can confirm if this is working in the PA 06/07 March?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
They'll work fine.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
PA has a circle battery option now built in, but I still think the sgs3 variant you did me compliments the stock AOSP look the best:good: So I'm sticking with the theme
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
I appreciate that. I've been trying to decide whether to continue now that they've included a battery, and I decided I do want to keep working on these themes, at least as long as there is a demand.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
I deffo think you should - especially if you are getting some enjoyment out of it. I did initially think when I first saw this thread it would all become obsolete when moles/the crew integrated battery styles into the ROM itself, however I don't think we will ever see the choice we have here integrated.

I think the key thing is to try an get these to work with PA colours if possible. I realised that I can't run these with a transparent status bar - its always black and I guess that will be the same if you set it to a different colout too. No biggy for me as I actually prefer just black.

any help you need give me a shout!

sgs3 bat do not work on last PA

with the past PA from 07/03 the sgs3 bat do not work even with dalvik wipe
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
It works fine. Uninstall and reinstall the apk. Failing that wipe dalvik cache + cache. Failing that full wipe and fresh install.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Thanks for the offer! I agree about the PA colors being key. I know how to do most of them, I'm just no good with photoshop so it takes me a while to do it. Working 12+ hours the last few days isn't helping matters, either. lol Some of them, like the Off-Center and Stock, I'm not sure how to make PA color compatible and still look good, but I'll figure it out, I hope. Thanks for all your help and support too, and I do still plan to fix the previews up, just waiting on a chance now. :)

Do like higgsy said and it should work. If none of that does, do you perhaps have a mod of some sort installed? I also found on other ROMs that you have to have stock battery selected in settings or it won't display the themed battery. I assume PA is the same since adding their battery percentage. We don't have a build with the % yet on GNex. Let me know if it works.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
Real life first - XDA life second, they are done when they are done. I used to maintain some mods/threads and other stuff a year or two ago, enojoyed it at first but it became too much with all the demands and moaning so I knocked it all on the head, that's why I'm just a user now, who compiles the odd kernel for personal use and fun every now and again and occasionally comments on threads and reports bugs. :p
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
That's one good thing about these themes not being too widely used right now. The threads have all been very laid back. The nexus 7 thread is pretty much dead, but the other two have been very nice. No complaining, not even many problems. That's a big part of why I haven't changed the threads to make it clear these work on more ROMs than just PA. I know they work on at least CM 10.1, AOKP, xylon, atom and vanir, and probably others, but as soon as I open it up I run the risk of the threads changing entirely in both attitude and volume, and I don't know if I'm ready for that. I'd rather focus on PA, since that seems to be the only ROM that satisfies me lately. I've tried all the ones listed above in the last couple days just for a change, and they just don't compare to PA IMO anymore. I'm addicted now I guess. lol
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Higgsy:
Oh yeah PA is the only ROM for me now. Been using it since my note 1 last June. Couldn't / wouldn't ever use anything else now.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] [V]endetta:
sgs3 batt seems like got bugs.

in app drawer, shown correct % with batt icon, but when go to home, the battery % maintain, batt icon is full :confused:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Try going to PA Prefs, reset just the icon color on your launcher to stock, even if its already stock. Its done that to me before when I changed the status bar color and I had to reset the color. If you're not using stock colors, then it doesn't work right with pa colors. That's on my to-do list.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] [V]endetta:
Its worked.but when i changed nav bar height and transparency,and also status bar,its revert back to previous state.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] 02ranger:
Will it change back to normal when you hit stock color on status bar icons again? It should work. I think its a bug in the PA Colors because if you don't change the icon color, it shouldn't mess up the icons.
