Working on stuff for 2.2 now..

I will be posting a transparent tray for DC FroYo soon

Right now I'm working on some taskbar icons. I thought it might be cool to have a fuel gauge for the battery.. :D

I have the whole battery set done :) once I get a couple more things done I'll zip and sign an update if anyone's interested :)

I thought about doing a speedometer for cdma but FroYo only uses 4 icons..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
That is a cool idea!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
thanks man :)

I thought they would look kinda hokey when I got them on the phone but I just put them on this morning and I have to say they're actually pretty cool :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
I'm starting to like where these gauge icons are headed :D :D

These are WiFi, dBm, and battery

View attachment 371170 View attachment 371171

I don't know how I'm gonna do EvDo yet. There are 8 images for evdo/1x...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dglowe343:
Can't wait. I love the transparent tray.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Here's the whole set so far :D

I think this is definitely a case of liking it more because I made it.. ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
ok this little taskbar gauge icon set just got more fun :D

hehe a little shadow under the needle.. :)

and after a little refining of the white bg:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
:D :D :D

Still tweaking it a bit before I go all out with this .psd and make the whole set..

dBm in grey.. hmm I think I like it, maybe, I dunno

I have to admit I'm surprised no one has commented on these.. not that I do any of this for attention, I just thought people would think this was cool. I sure like it! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barnacles10:
I noticed you mention that froyo only uses 4 icons for signal.

Actually, stock does yes, but HTC adds more. The icons for cdma (evo) specifics are actually kept in com.htc.resources.apk. In here you will find the 7 radio images as well as 4G n all that fun stuff :D

Hope this helps if you hadn't already found it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Thanks dude, yeah I've found everything I was looking for. It can be especially confusing sometimes because they have several duplicate images in 2 different places and by 2 different names.

The .psd I have for all these icons is set up to make a gauge for the 6bar signal but as you mentioned FroYo is only using the 4bar setup.

Actually I just noticed you said stock uses 4bar but HTC uses the 6bar signal.. in FroYo??

I'm running DC 3.5 beta2 (sense based) and it only uses the 4 bar signal.. hmm

(*edit- I just noticed Flipz's 8/3 2.2 release uses the 6bar signal.. cool beans :), OMJ's uses the 6bars too, I guess TrevE must have used the AOSP services.jar..)

Making and changing the images is no problem but wouldn't do any good unless the services.jar is modified to use all 6 of the bars..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
seems like something's missing, or something

suggestions?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] elingreen:
eagerly awaiting the 2.2 clear notification tray =D

my evo feels weird without all the clear parts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
What do you think...

The transparent tray has been done, I need to figure out who to credit before I post it. Also, it involves an edit to the services.jar and I'd like to learn the edit.

*edit- subtle change.. I think I like the first one better
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
not so bid on those icons bro....

And it would be nice to have the clear for sure
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
hmmm..

one more :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Blues much better looking lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
this one is my vote ... nice improvement !
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Blue is on the list ;)

I have a ways to go before I'll be satisfied with these, then there will be a variety of color combos

Thanks dude! I appreciate it :)

The shading that makes it look 3d doesn't show nearly as well on the phone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
I think I have these where I like em

I'm gonna make a set of the gray for myself. If anyone is interested let me know, other colors are pretty simple at this point.

actually, that top curved edge is a little pixely still..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
i agree on this set
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
thats ****ing hot!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Cool, I'm glad you like it! :D unfortunately thats as far as I've gotten with the round dials

I have finished my personal set :D :D :D

They really ended up better than I expected. I am very pleased :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mario23:
Beautiful...and perfect for us gearheads.

I'd definitely be interested in that grey set!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Thanks :D

There are a couple minor things left to tweak on the gray set, nothing major.

Would you be willing to flash it and give me some feedback?

They look a little different on the phone than on the computer.

I can't decide if I should make the dots on the dials a color or light grey or something. From more than a foot away the dots are kind of hard to see.

If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them.

This is the full set from my last post.

I have flashed this over DC3.5 with Amon-RA recovery:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aquarinard:
can you explain how to personalize my evo with my name in it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Look HERE
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Updated first post

and yes, I admit this is a shameless bump :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
As always AWESOME Work bro.

What happened to the blue!!!! lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Thanks :)

I'm working on templates for a good variety. These are just some I've done so far, they're all battery icons:

And in case you were wondering, I will be doing full sets without backgrounds so they can be used on any taskbar mod :D

I'm also looking into metamorph so anyone who likes the gauges won't have to worry about other mods in the framework getting wiped out.

One more blue for ya rjmjr69..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
great job .. metamorph ... great choice .. love the one with the red fade low and green fade high power !
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] qendadar:
Tried the grey dials on cm6 but bootlooped me. I know the dials are based off dc Rom but had to try. Any chance of this getting made for cm? I loved the dials when I tried em on dc
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
The signed.zip won't work on CM, totally different frameworks.

The images can work in CM but.. I don't know exactly where everything is (never looked) and I would imagine the .png's have different names than in DC/Sprint roms, not to mention how fast CM is being updated right now. If they ever release a "finished" CM I'll probably make a .zip of these for it.

Also, I made the gray ones WITH the stock sense bg so they would look kinda funky in CM anyways even if you put them in the framework manually.

Putting the .png's in manually isn't very hard. I'll get some with NO bg posted soon, they'll look better on CM.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] qendadar:
Thanx tons man... I am going to have to learn how to do this sooner or later if I ever get free time from work..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
updated first post with some zips of battery gauges and instructions on how to apply images (the battery icons for example) WITHOUT losing other mods to your framework:

Battery Gauge Icons

I haven't figued out how to make the .xml's for metamorph so these are flashable signed.zips of each battery set.

I've also included a NON flashable .zip of all the flashable .zips and a .zip of the images for

those who would like to drop the .png's in themselves to preserve any other themes/mods (to the framework-res.apk).

See the bottom of this post for "How To Add .pngs to framework-res.apk".

None of these have a BG, I put gray behind them so you can see the depth a little better :)

DOWNLOAD - batt_gauge_black_signed.zip

DOWNLOAD - batt_gauge_blue_signed.zip

DOWNLOAD - batt_gauge_red_signed.zip

DOWNLOAD - batt_gauge_glow_signed.zip

DOWNLOAD - batt_round_blue_signed.zip

DOWNLOAD - batt_round_white_signed.zip

These two .zips are NOT flashable.

They are a .zip of all of the flashable .zips above (if you want to try more than one ;))

and a .zip of the .pngs themselves along with the .psd (if anyone wants to play ;))

They also both include this Alarm ON Icon :)

Battery_Gauge_Set.zip (all the flashable zips above)

nebs_2.2_batt_Icons.zip (all the icon .pngs)

I just realized the Alarm ON Icon I included has the stock Sense taskbar bg..

Here is one w/o the bg if anyone wants it:

________________________________________​

HOW TO CHANGE FRAMEWORK ICONS AND PRESERVE OTHER MODS:​

These instructions will work on Sprint/HTC as well as AOSP builds​

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP !!!!

Plug phone into PC (USB)

Open a cmd prompt (may need to open as administrator in win7/vista, not sure)

Navigate to "c:\android-sdk\tools" (unless it's in your path)

Type the following:

adb remount

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\

Open a windows explorer window and locate the framework-res.apk you just pulled to c:\

Use 7zip or WinRAR to open the archive of the framework-res.apk (right click on the .apk)

In the archive of the .apk open res/drawable-hdpi, you should see a TON of .pngs

Open the folder that contains the images you want to use

Drag and drop the images into res/drawable-hdpi

Close 7zip/WinRAR

Go back to your cmd prompt and type:

adb push c:\framework-res.apk /system/framework

[COLOR="green"][B]#Once the push is finished QUICKLY TYPE:[/B]
[/COLOR]
adb reboot

*Replacing framework-res can have some funky effects on the phone. When you are booted (only once, the first time after pushing the apk) it's likely your wallpaper will be reset to stock and you may have to add your google account back and re-sync, neither have been terribly inconvenient for me :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Sweet :)

Thanks to NovaFox for answering a couple questions, I got my first Metamorph mod done :)

METAMORPH _ GlowBattery.zip

Only problem is it wont show my preview on the phone :confused:

I tried using a .jpg and a .png..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
so what image would we get ,,, i am seeing grey glow icons and then yellow icons below .. is the yellow when the phone is charging ... what do u mean no preview
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Yes, the yellow is for charging. Everything above represents the Battery icon ONLY. They cover all battery states, including charging :)

About the preview, Metamorph shows you a preview of the mod which is an image that the creator of the mod puts in the Metamorph package. Mine isn't showing up in Metamorph. The theme Metamorphs just fine, only you cant see the preview on the phone just before you apply it. Really not a big deal, I'll figure it out :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
real nice job on this .. i also like how the colors of the gauge change when u are charging ... animated changes of color
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Thanks :)

You used the metamorph I guess?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
yes metamorph !:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Sweet, thanks for trying it :)

Here's the Metamorph for the white round battery, still no preview :( View attachment RoundBattWh.zip

Here's the image I tried..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brock1909:
nice job man. Can i make a request....can we have a bright Red needle with the batt_gauge_glow_signed.zip file?

i just think it would be a little easier to see...and my car has a red needle and i like that look. If not, i understand! Thanks for the icons.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Thanks man, glad you like them :)

The red needles are no problem. Take a look at the first post, in the first image with the entire gray set. Look at the red needles in the EvDo Dormant (darker red) and the 1x Dormant (lighter red). Is the lighter one about what you have in mind?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brock1909:
Yeah the lighter/brighter one would be great. Thanks a lot.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
How's this.. :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brock1909:
sweet brotha. Thanks a lot!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
now that we have 1% battery increments in sense framework I cant help but brainstrm a unique representation..

Both of the following are showing 95% battery
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
awesome i switched to this one
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
:D I'm glad you guys like em

I made some slight adjustments to the needles..

I left the name on this morph the same. I would think unzipping it would write over the old one in your AndroidThemes folder but you may want to delete the first one before downloading this..

Updated METAMORPH - View attachment GlowBattRN.zip
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
thanks i meta-morphed the new one u made .. what did u do clean it up a bit?

still looks awesome .. thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iTouch24:
duplicate post
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brock1909:
love these icons. anyway ( yes im being picky, sorry) we can utilize the whole 38x38, maybe maake it a bigger and itll be more visible? just a thought, ill probably try to do it, but eff it up pretty bad.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Don't be, I'm probably as or more picky than most of you guys ;)

I actually have a few things in the works for the battery. I can't really make it any wider, I tried. There is only one pixel between each edge and if I run it all the way out it doesn't look right, it kind of crowds the the icons next to it it's so big. But I haven't given up on tweaking it. I don't really like how the circle gauge looks on the phone. I might take a shot at making it a little taller.

I have noticed, after a tester for yay4juggs pointed it out, that the levels are not represented accurately. I already knew they weren't perfect because of how HTC set up the ranges for each icon but they are WAY off if you consider 12oclock to be "half a tank". The #4 icon in the set (12oclock) represents anywhere from 30% to 49%. So that's no good.

I'm working on a set right now that will use the Sense batt% mod. It won't show percentages and with such limited space I don't know how many degrees I'll be able to make with the needle but I'm gonna make as many as I can manage

I think it'll be pretty sweet when the needle moves more fluidly, and is actually accurate! :D

Aside from all that, which set are you talking about specifically?

I'm using the glow set and the white dots are very easy to see.

If your using the blue ones (not the round ones) the gray dots are impossible to see on the phone :(

Also you're more than welcome to grab the .psd out of the images zip and play around. If you come up with something you like post it up :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Sorry, just saw your post.

The change I made was to the needles. The ones between E and Half and between Half and F didn't look right, like they weren't sticking out from the center of the black dot. Also one of the needles didn't point to a dot, it was for the 4 dot set :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brock1909:
im using the glow set, yeah i was thinking just making it taller to the top of the 38x38, i know its not much room but i figure the E and F could be made a lil bigger with it, maybe add a pixel to the dots? i dont know, just brain storming. i also think the needle moving more fluid would be awesome. I use CM6 roms, so that sense% isnt implemented into them. you need testers, i dont mind helping.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xxbabiboi228xx:
@Nebs

I'm using your black battery signed noticing the dial is reading wrong not sure why cause I notice its the same names of the stock battery.png I'm at 24% batt and the dial is showing half full it should be showing a quarter full.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Yeah I know they're off, but thanks for the heads up. If you look at the ranges that HTC set up the battery icon isn't much more accurate than the radio signal strength icon.

There are 7 images to represent the discharging states:

1 - 1% - 4%

2 - 5% - 9%

3 - 10% - 29%

4 - 30% - 49%

5 - 50% - 79%

6 - 80% - 89%

7 - 90% - 100%

So, with the above scale it's not easy to make the gauge set look nice AND accurately represent the current battery state :(

However I do have a couple things in the works that I think are gonna be pretty cool ;) One of which is a more accurate gauge set.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brock1909:
the anticipation is kilin me! haha
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Here's a teaser for ya :)

I don't have a charging animation for this yet but this battery icon set does 2 things that I haven't seen before. It shows every single percentage point, granted the difference between one and the next is hard to see but it's there ;). And it shows all percentages without numbers.

I don't know what to call it. Also it will have a transparent BG, I just left the black so it's easier to see.

Also, correction:

1 - 1% - 4%

2 - 5% - 14%

3 - 15% - 29%

4 - 30% - 49%

5 - 50% - 79%

6 - 80% - 89%

7 - 90% - 100%
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
These gauges are fire!!! There so cool looking!!! But here's the Prob. at hand... I'm running the stock Froyo 2.2 on my EVO, is there any way I can use these w/the install of an apk?? I'm a BIG Ferrari fan and these would look awesome on my screen!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webby_s:
Sorry if I missed it but where are the zips for just the CDMA (signal) and WiFi icons?

I would like to flash those but not my Battery circle %.

Thanks for all your hard work guys.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Man, I'm sorry I missed this post. What do you mean by install of an apk? Are you rooted? what ROM are you using?

I'm sure I can help you out but The closest thing to installing an apk would be to make it a metamorph. Let me know if you're still interested, and if you have any requests or like one of the sets already made.

none of the mods are without the battery. The only set that I've done the other gauges is this one:

You want everything but the battery? Let me know and I'll put it together for you :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webby_s:
Ya dude that would be awesome, but I don't wasn't you to do it just for me! I would take it if you did! I just like the circle batt with % # and would like your other mods to flash. I am running Vaelpac's ROM.

If I flash a new zip would it tweak (wreck) my current circle batt mod in the framework zip?

Edit:

You could leave the charging portion in there for the gauges but that might muddy the water too much!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
Better late then never huh lol... Well at this point in time I'm now officially rooted and I'm running Fresh rom 3.2

If I wanted to just use your icons for the battery is it an easy feat or something thats hard and confusing? thanks!! :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
I'll make metamorphs for you guys. It might be tomorrow night before I can do it but they are easy to make and wont affect any other theme elements you have right now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webby_s:
Awesome!

I was thinking this morning, I know scary, me think, that could a person load all of your mods and then on top of that flash the battery circle % number zip? Wouldn't that do my desired tweak?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Well, not really..

The the 100% battery mod requires some .xml hacks so replacing the .apk for that mod is necessary. Right now flashing either will overwrite the other.

The signed zip of the full set replaces your framework-res.apk, that's just how I set it up.

A metamorph doesn't replace entire apk's, only specific files within an apk.

Once I get your metamorph together you will want to have the battery mod in place first as it would wipe out my mods.

This can be a little confusing.. ;) I'll have the morphs done for you guys soon.

If you have any more questions about how this stuff works feel free to ask.

The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rugedraw:
Nebenezer: I just found this thread today, and I liked the idea of the transparent notification bar. Was this not meant to be flashed on 2.2? My phone got past the white Evo screen, but got stuck on my custom "Android pissing on Apple" boot screen. The animation would start, run for 2 seconds, and the start over again. I pulled the battery and am doing a nandroid restore now; it's no big deal. I just wanted to know if maybe I did something wrong because I liked how it looked in the pic you posted in the OP. I flashed via clockwork recovery without wiping anything; all my phone info is in the sig.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
So sorry man :(

I need to take that down until I update it for 2.2. It was for 2.1, the 2.2 requires an xml edit and I've just been too damn lazy to post the mod

Sorry for the inconvenience dude
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rugedraw:
Oh, no worries, man. I should have checked and seen that the OP was on August 1st. That's what I get for having a "flash first; ask later" mentality. lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
I'm just glad you made a nand first!!!

:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rugedraw:
I always keep a rom backed up. I've learned my lesson.....lol. I backed up my rom on the 11th, so all I lost was three days worth of text history. I can live with that easily.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webby_s:
Not to be selfish but any update? ;) :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Yeah, but you wont like it.. My girl is pissed at me right now so I'm in the doghouse.. For the first time on over 10 years I'm sleeping at my parent's house tonight :(

I only have my laptop with me and everything for these mods is on my PC at home.. I'll see if I can work it out for you over RDP though, gimme a few..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Alright webby, I hope your feeling brave :D

I got the morph made for you but this is the first time I've made one that affects two apk's in one morph.

NANDROID FIRST!!! as long as you have a nand you'll be fine.

For anyone who doesn't already know: metamorphs should NOT be unzipped and they are not flashable in recovery. You need to use the free metamorph app in the market.

This will ONLY work on Sense roms. It contains a mod to the com.htc.resources.apk, which is not present in CM, or any AOSP build.

Here ya go: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7974884/webbys_mod.zip

I hope you dig it, I actually made this using my home pc, connected to it via my rdp app on my evo. What an amazing phone!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webby_s:
K here I go, I am now making a nandroid back up within Amon recovery, then going to update my Busy Box (1.15 to 1.17) then going to download metamorph then download your mod.zip you made for me. See how things go and hope to get you a screenie sometime tomorrow.

Sorry your in the dog house, or maybe you're happy LOL ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] webby_s:
Hey I am going to update ya, plus, hopefully post some screen shots

By me saying I have had success because I said I will post screenshots is kinda untrue.... I tried the metemorph app to load them. And as we suspected I get a boot loop so I had to use my nand backup.

I then tried your original flashable zip in the OP and got this.

I then "overwrote" that zip with the circle battery flashable zip and get this. You can see I get the original WiFi icons. And I don't know why it cut off half the picture but it doesn't matter since I got what I wanted.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Thanks for being brave :D

You still have the stock wifi because the zip that does the battery mod replaced the framework-res.apk which is where the wifi icons are. The data ones are in com.htc.resources.apk.

I KNOW I can make you a good morph for the wifi icons only, gimme a little while and I'll post a morph for the wifi icons only that will not affect your battery icon.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nebenezer:
Alright Web

I didn't change the name, so you'll want to delete the last one before you dl or you might get a (1) at the end of the name which will prevent it from working..

Let me know how it goes.
