Hi,

I don't think its silly, but I'm a font/typography nerd, lol.

I used "comfortaa" which you can find for free here:

http://www.dafont.com/comfortaa.font

and I chose it because we have a matching flipfont for the vibrant (and I use it for my default system font) posted in the thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748916

that way my battery % matches the system font.

cheers,

=)

~ Jocelyn

P.S. I'm trying to work on a vertical icon version of the blue battery, but for some reason the vibrant hates my new PNG files, and will only display the files for the charging animation, unplug usb, and the battery icon disappears =(

Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on how to solve this, not including remaking all 129 png files, I've done that twice already, lol.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Ok, for some reason the latest attempt at pushing framework-res.apk with my vertical battery png's to my phone worked fine, so yet again, I've updated OP with another mod.

cheers,

=)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Siks:
I love this mod, but I'd love it even more if it used the TWPRO battery icons as a base.

The morph for them can be found in the Official Vibrant Morph Thread in post #21.

I'd link to it but I'm too new.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dougefresh91:
Nice work. I'm a fan of the blue battery that samsung used so it's nice to have it actually be accurate. I suppose the inaccuracy off their battery made it appear the phone was holding a charge longer than it was.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zimphishmonger:
Updated the MetaMorph to include colored signal bars, Wifi, data, gmail, and the alarm icons. This morph does not chnage the battery icons, apply the morph AFTER applying one of the battery mods. Enjoy!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] subnormyle:
Thank you, I really enjoy this along with Eugenes vibrant6 Rom.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Goog1e Phone:
I tried flashing this in ClockWork, but it says "Bad File"

Anybody else? I really want this to work =\ since I love how the OP colored in everything, but I prefer the circular clock.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
You have to apply zimphs metamorph with the Metamorph app. It is not flashable through recovery.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Smasherz:
Thanks a lot! Works great on my Eugens Vibrant6! One of the things always wanted and needed!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Goog1e Phone:
Opps. Thanks for the tip. I feel like a noob since I hardly ever changed the appearance odd my mt3g. One noob question, what's the point of morphing when you can just flash a update.zip from recovery?

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
Morphing can be quicker and easier. It doesn't always require a reboot to do what you want (there are some that do though). You can just load metamorph, select the morph, and off you go.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Espinha:
This kills my Galaxy S and I have to reflash :( tried it twice. Here's what I did:

1) Boot into clockwork recovery

2) Clear cache

3) Flash the Accurate_battery_with_icons_gmail.zip

4) Clear cache

5) Reboot

Then when I boot into the phone, after the Samsung logo, I'd get a black screen saying that the process $%1 had stopped and it wouldn't do anything else.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boast:
any chance you can just upload the Blue Battery mod without the stat and Gmail icons? i like the no coloring of all of those but would like to just install this accurate battery mod.

thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] nick_karstedt:
Love it! The Blue TW theme is perfect. Fits samsung's ui better than their own icons. Great job.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
If I rename it update.zip will it flash in stock recovery?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] JoePR31:
I like the colored icons, but....

I had applied the ClearBar v.3 morph a few weeks ago and didn't realize that applying this mod would wipe that out. I do like these icons (thanks Jocelyn :) ), but I would love to be able to have both the colored icons and the clear notification bar. Is there a way to do that??
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hi,

You should be able to apply the clear bar morph after the battery mod to get the clear bar back.

The reason these battery mods wipe out notification bar morphs is that they replace the framework-res.apk entirely, which is the file that those morphs alter. So, try applying other morphs after the battery mods, and they should work.

Cheers,

=)

~ Jocelyn
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
Anyone?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hi.

I think its doubtful that it will flash from stock recovery since its based on Zimp's clockwork versions.

Honestly though, why not use clockwork?

cheers,

=)

~ Jocelyn
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
If I flash Clockwork will I still be able to receive the OTA update? I've always used Amon_RAs recovery images with my phones in my signature but I was under the impression that if I change the recovery image I will not receive the OTA update.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Right now I don't think anyone really knows 100% for certain, but I can say with 99% certainty that you'll still receive OTA updates, since clockwork for the vibrant isn't actually flashed to the chip, but flashed into the ramdisk via stock recovery "reinstall packages" option, and thus is cleared on every reboot. Hence why clockwork for the vibrant requires you to leave its Update.zip on the root of your internal SDcard at all times.

So, while I can't absolutely guarantee it, I can't see anyway whatsoever for t-mobile to see that you use clockwork, and thus exclude your phone from receiving OTA updates, since it never physically replaces the stock recovery.

cheers,

=)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] The K-Zoo Kid:
is there any way to just get the battery without the icons and whatnot?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
I was running out of room with attachments to my OP when I was updating so frequently, and along the way I think I deleted my local copy of the battery_only mod zip file.

Regardless, it's easy enough to re-make yourself. A great tool for replacing images inside .apk files, is 7-zip for windows, you can open apk files with it (they're just zip files anyway really) and drag-and-drop image files into the 7-zip window, so you don't need to worry about extracting, re-zipping, signing, etc.

So, extremely lengthy directions to keep your stock status icons while using one of the battery mods (Seriously, the directions make it sound so much harder than it really is.)

1) make sure you have the android sdk installed and can use adb

2) Download whichever version you like of my battery mod, and extract framework-res.apk from it

3) connect your phone to your computer (with debugging enabled) and open a command line/shell

4) do an adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

5) browse to your working directory (or search) for the file you just pulled, and open it in 7-zip and drag the res/drawable-hdpi folder to your desktop or somewhere easy to work with

6) Open the framework-res.apk from my mod with 7-zip, and browse to the drawable-hdpi folder

7) drag-and-drop the stock icons you want to keep from the backup drawable-hdpi folder you put on your desktop/wherever into the same directory in 7-zip

8) say yes when 7-zip asks to confirm adding/replacing the files, exit the app

9) do an adb push ~/path_to_file_you_just_modified /system/framework

10) optional, (but I recommend) adb reboot recovery

11) wipe/clear cache, reboot, enjoy =)

Alternatively, maybe someone else will make a stock status icon morph, but right now, I'm burned out already on modifying touchwiz, I've spent the last week trying to de-gloss all of touchwiz, and return to the standard matte-blue and black look of the international i9000 but samsung royally screwed us with the vibrant; list_selector_background_normal.9 is the bane of my existence, I know I can make an all black .9 file to replace it, but dear god I shouldn't have to, samsung never should have modified the default list view background in the first place, and in fact they DIDN'T do this with the i9000 or captivate, just the vibrant, =(

Good luck, and cheers.

=)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Espinha:
Does anyone have any idea of what I might be doing wrong, please? :(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] JoePR31:
Thanks Jocelyn! That sort of worked. I got the clear notification bar back, kept your battery level mod and most of your colored icons, but lost the colored signal strength gauge, colored upload/download arrows, and the colored alarm icon. All in all, I'm happy with the way it all looks now....so I'm probably going to leave it as is.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
If you mean its crashing your tmobile vibrant, I honestly have no idea, since its worked for a ton of people, but since you said "galaxy s" I'm guessing you have a standard i9000 model? If so, then the mod won't work as-is, you'll need to manually replace the png files.

I don't know exactly why, but framework-res.apk files are not cross-compatible with vibrant, i9000, captivate, etc. (This is one reason why I'm against the merging of all the galaxy s forums, since people will start flashing mods without knowing if its compatible with their phone, after-all, unless someone posted this in the i9000 or captivate forums without telling me, you came to the vibrant forum to find it.)

Anyway, I've tried (repeatedly) replacing my vibrant's framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and many other files in /system/framework with versions from a stock i9000 and from an att captivate, and both give me the same error you mentioned.

Only thing I can suggest, download fightspits circle battery mod for your i9000 rom version, then download mine, and copy the png files out of mine into fightspits, and adb push to your phone.

Sorry, but hope you figure something out, and cheers.

=)

~ Jocelyn
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Espinha:
Oh I feel so stupid now! I arrived here through Google and I didn't even realize this was for the Vibrant. You're right, I have the standard i9000 and not a Vibrant.

Thanks for clarifying this for me and for the tips!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] The K-Zoo Kid:
Jeeze, thanks a lot for all of that. Unfortunately i do not have a windows computer :( I am kind of new to this android thing, so a lot of that stuff i do not understand. i do not know how to adb push at all :/
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hey,

Sorry for not having just the battery zip anymore, but honestly, android is extremely easy to learn, and I'm going to sound like a ***** now, but if you want to hack/mod your phone, take some time and effort to do some searching about android in general, and read some FAQ threads on android and the sdk (and specifically adb.) Then download the android sdk, (its available for windows, mac and linux) and take some time to learn to use its basic features.

Back to the steps I wrote out, if you're on linux, you don't even need 7-zip, the default linux zip manager should let you drag and drop new images into the apk files without decompressing them, and on mac, try the gui version of winrar, or stuffit maybe (sorry, I own a mac, but I'm not sure which compressions programs on mac will allow you to add files to an archive without decompressing, since I do most of my android modding on my windows 7 partition.)

Anyway, sorry for being so *****y, but there's been an influx of users lately that have tested a lot of people's patience by asking the same questions over-and-over, without searching, and without putting forth any effort on their own to learn how to mod their phone, just expecting that other people should hold their hands through everything.

I have no problem at all helping people modify my work to suit their own taste, or trying to help you debug/troubleshoot problems, but if you don't even know about adb or how to use it, then you really should take some time and learn to use the sdk before you start modding your phone.

good luck and cheers,

=)

~ Jocelyn
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] The K-Zoo Kid:
I understand and respect everything you just said, and i do plan on looking up how to adb or use abd, but lately i have just not had the time. I have enough time to flash zips and whatnot, and i have glanced at a tutorial on how to adb but it looked like it took too much time. next time i am free i will definitely look farther into it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
That's exactly what I wanted to know, thank you very much.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] The K-Zoo Kid:
This is kind of off topic, but do you know where i could find a good tutorial on how to use adb on a mac?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hey, there's really not much you need to know that's mac specific, just like windows or linux, its all accessed via the command line/terminal.

I recommend adding the path to your sdk/tools folder to your .bash_profile (its either a hidden file in your /user directory, or it might not exist if you've never modified it. Anyway, I recommend using something like textmate, coda, etc. to browse and open the .bash_profile if its there, else just make a new txt document, and save it as .bash_profile when you're done.

this is what mine looks like:

PATH="$PATH:/users/******/android/sdk/tools"

since I installed the sdk into a folder named "android" in the root of my user directory (represented by ****** above.)

this way you can access adb from any terminal window without having to CD to the sdk/tools directory first.

You can read the official documentation for adb here:

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

and btw, with adb shell and push/pull the paths to files/file names are case sensitive, so adb pull /system/app/Mms.apk is not the same as adb pull /system/app/mms.apk

Hope that helps get you started, cheers

=)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] The K-Zoo Kid:
Holy ****... I really just read that 5+ times and i understood about 25% of it. I know it is a lot of work explaining all of this, and i dont really expect you to do it, do you think you could point me in the direction of a tutorial for dummies or something like that?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jsmith8858:
Thank you for these icons, I had the circle icons but thought they were too big, these are great! I simply grabbed the PNGs from the ones I liked, packaged them up in a metamorph file and applied it with no problems.

I mixed and matched the blue icons for 76-100% and green for 51-75%. Works beautifully! Thank you again.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] raduque:
Beautiful, I love these icons. Brings some much-needed color to the notification bar. Thanks Jocelyn, you rock.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moonrock:
I installed this and now I can't change my system font. :( I change the font, it appears to change, asks me to reboot, but alas -- it stays as default. When I go back in to change it, the setting is changed to whatever font I had chosen, but is definitely not actually being used.

Anyone else? Any idea of what might fix it?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Honestly, I think that's a touchwiz bug because it used to happen to me even before I started modding my phone.

When it happens to me, I change the font to something different, but choose "restart later" then immediately change the font back to my original font, and choose "restart now" and so far that works every time for me.

Good luck, and cheers,

=)

~ Jocelyn
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moonrock:
This got me excited that it was such a simple fix but alas, no luck on my end... still no changed font :(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Ovrclock:
So I shoved all of Joselyn's awesome battery png's into a stock vibrant .zip of the notification bar. Basically, it is the stock icons except the battery % is included. The following are included:

GPS active color (Green, I believe)

Gmail red icon.

Blue battery % icons

Everything else is stock. I like the more simple and stock look, so I hope everyone enjoys!

Props to Joselyn again, and everyone listed in threads in the OP to have a hand in this!

Also, JOSELYN, feel free to include in OP. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GameOver69:
Thanks for mod, its fantastic. Quick question though, i dont see anything in the OP with how to revert back to stock if desired. Is there another zip file to apply to do so? Please let me know.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wolfvgang:
Yeah, just follow the first link to the old circle mod in the OP, it's there.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Prufrock:
Help!

Just did something really stupid. I didn't spot this was for the Vibrant and tried it on my i9000. Now I can't get into recovery mode. The phone boots up, but no notification bar shows at the top and before I get a chance to do anything, the phone reboots. Any clues on how to revert back? I did make a nandroid back up, but I can't get into clockwork recovery to load it up.

Edit: Now it's getting stuck at the S boot screen.

Incidentally, I ended up here because someone posted a link to this thread on the main SGS board. I also disagree with having one board for all the different variations of this phone for this very reason. I wish people would also stop posting links for stuff on the i9000 boards that are for different versions of the SGS.

EDIT 2: Flashed to JM6 now, so all working fine...obviously not this battery mod, mind. ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hey,

Glad you got your problem sorted, =)

And FYI, if you like the battery mod, check the i9000 forum for "fighspit circle battery mod" or something like that, then download the version for your i9000 firmware, and download my mod, open both files in 7-zip, and copy over the ~129 png files (battery 0-100, all 27 "charge" png files, and there are 2 named something like ic_lock_battery_low/charge or something like that) and drag-and drop them into the i9000 version /res/drawable-hdpi folder.

Close 7-zip and push the file to your phone and you should be golden

Cheers,

=)

sorry figured out i need to get apktook and extract the .xml for the battery mods and edit and them recrypt and put back.. dont know if i want to go through all that trouble..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] raduque:
How hard would it be to make this mod work with the new Vibrant FW that just came out? I tried flashing the original one I downloaded, but I ended up with a bunch of FC errors (com.android.phone) and the device was completely unusable.

Edit: I managed it myself, pulled the framework-res.apk out, replaced the icons in drawable-hdpi, and pushed the file back. The 100-increment battery didn't work though. I'm find with that, I really just wanted the colorful signal, network, wifi and other notify icons.

Thanks for the hard work, any chance of porting this to the latest leaked JI2 firmware?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
I've ported the vertical blue battery for my own personal use, and I had no intention of uploading it, but I'll attach with the explicit warning that I've only tested it on my phone, I'm not making it into an update.zip (this is a leaked, beta firmware after all, if you figured out ODIN to flash it, you should be able to figure out ADB push) and am not going to offer any kind of support really, and lastly, I'm not responsible for anything this does to your phone/work/life/etc.

That out of the way, all I did was adb push unsignedframework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

then reboot into clockwork recovery, clear cache and dalvik-cache, and reboot

Also, this is only the vertical blue battery, and doesn't inclue any of the status icon mods, since the metamorph already posted in this thread should still work fine on the JI2 leak.

Cheers,

=)

Thank you thank YOU Joselyn... WOW I can't believe % battery mod is working for me already... :)

I tried copying using adb but got permission denied error(newbie to android, coming from Symbian) so I copied it to SD card then used root explorer to move it to system/framework folder, replaced it and got several force closes and phone rebooted by itself...(Now that was a desparate attempt ;)) and voila it worked!! I rebooted in clockwork and cleared cache regardless...

working great now...!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hi,

Your best bet is to search the I9000 forums for "fightspit circle battery mod" and download the correct version for your firmware. Then, if you use windows or linux, open the framework-res.apk file in 7zip or the default linux archive utility, and drag the 129 battery png images from my mod, into the /res/drawable-hdpi folder of the mod you downloaded for your firmware.

Hope that helps, cheers

=)

~ Jocelyn
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] pgibbons:
Jocelyn - I noticed on the attachment it has the whole framework.apk. I know where to find the battery icons but which XML file/s did you edit to call the new images? I'm running the JI2 with a mix of Elegant Steel and the Clear Bar image changes so I was thinking of just using Metamorph to add the new battery images but if I just push the images it will still only call the default (100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10, etc) images so I'm guessing there is another file that tells the phone to use the more specific images?
