Super Cirlce battery

I know this isn't a DroidX forum, but I've been searchng for battery replacement icons, etc. Will any of these work on the DX? Is this only for CM7 users or can they be flashed to any rom?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sup Wichita? :)

Well are you still on 7.0 or have you updated? If you've updated then those ain't gonna work. Actually it seems like it did work on 7.0.2.1. I went to nightly 62 to get the gtalk upgrade, so I never had 7.0.3.

Let me know what version you're on :)

Dammit who let this dude in here?? lol....

Yes and no....these will work on your device, but they have to be built using the software particular to your device. Just running Cyanogen isn't enough. While I don't really pump out the circles like I once did with this thread, I could probably find a the time to make one for you. I would just need to know what rom you're on and what version, and then of course what battery.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksnexusone:
Wichita here. I am running fisnugly's 7.1 cm7. Can you whip something up for me? Love that circle battery
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zahni_tue:
It's so awesome!! Love this theme. Especially the battery icon is just gorgeous.

Thx for the great work pendo!

Btw, would it be possible to combine with a transparent status bar like glass bar or opac bar? I guess, metamorph does not work together with your theme.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Do you mean white numbers? If so, I don't presently have a C version with White numbers. The numbers look "white-ish" on the phone, but are actually a light grey at the bottom that transitions to almost plain white at the top.

Or are you thinking something else?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Galaxy theme back up, but without a themed maps for now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enlothien:
oops my bad Pendo got mix up with both B n C. I wad wondering can you do the same theme but with B battery icons with the Slick greyish percentage.

anyhow just flashed the Nextheme with C version of the battery icon I agree its pretty slick but guess will look wicked with type B bat. Thanx alot for the effort pendo.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jrbourque:
When trying to download version C for manup it goes to media fire and then says not found

nevermind, third time a charm lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK, I need some of you CM6 guys who were running metamorphs before to be my little test subjects, lol.

I'm getting ready to upload 3 versions (B-black number, B-white number, and C-Grey number) that are all bare bones stock, but changed a little bit so that metamorph will work on them (I hope). I don't know how all the workings are, but I'd stay away from any morphs that change the battery images. In one of my tests, I did try a morph that had battery images, but my images seemed to override those...don't know for sure, it could've just been an inbetween percentage.

You flash the update FIRST, then morph over the top. If these work out like I hope that will be the same for all...flash the super circle battery, then morph to your hearts content. So get your morphs ready, the CM6 versions are hitting first...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enlothien:
Looking forward to it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
3 CM6 frame-res base files are in the op now. If you don't have a nandroid handy, please make one, or what I do and just pull the existing framework-res before I make a change, so just in case it's super quick to slide back in the working one.

Enjoy!

<edit>

Are there really any metamorphs that are design for Enomther's rom? I know that I used to have a hard time finding ones that would fully work with his rom's. I'd always end up cannibalizing them somehow to get it to work. If there's not a lot of morphing or not much interest (the manup theme deservedly get's most of the attention), I'll skip the Enom_base versions and work on getting the grey numbers in the B batteries. Let me know....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tehstupid:
awesome stuff, pendo! can't wait to test it out with morphs.

would it be possible for versions of the battery without the numbers? keep up the great work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
yes, it would be possible with some photoshopping, but the general consensus has been to leave them in, because a)they're cool:cool: and b) the color of the number changes to red at 15% :cool::cool:

...I'm anxious to hear how the _base versions are working with metamorph...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mik101:
Bootloops with both base and original b - black on CM6 latest nightly (installed 15 minutes ago). N1. Can I assume the framework is 'RC3 build only' specific?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enlothien:
Not sure y but can't get any of the mediafire links to work.

Will try again later and see.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I've never tried a nightly. But from what I've read, things like this are somewhat common. For the nightlies about the only thing that's consistent is a straight morph. It will just change the png that you want and leave everything else alone.....vs what I have which has to interact in all sorts of ways, so there's much greater potential for conflicts. While these frame-res files don't take a *huge* amount of time to build, I'm not real interested in going through the same theme possibly over and over again for the nightlies. Release Candidates...that's reasonable.

You know..I've had problems with them today as well. Just a couple hours ago, I deleted an old file that wasn't relavent anymore, and after the deletion I noticed that one of my links was bad. Somehow, and I'm absolutely certain I didn't accidentally do it, they nuked the wrong file. Plus other strange errors today...first time it's ever happened.

But I did just check all three new versions and they're working for me, all the way through the download. I'll look around for somewhere else just to keep as a backup. If you're still having problems, drop me a pm and I'll get whatever you want to you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cpt.Curry:
For some reason pendo I can't flash the theme, when I flahs it, it says verification failed because couldn't find system/app/maps....something along the lines.....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enlothien:
Thanx Pendo the links are working fine now.

Just to clarify with you.

Those are not metamorphs right? coz you mentioned that they are flash zip n to be flashed via recovery.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] anti_hero666:
any chance to get the super bat circle mod w/out a change on my status bar mod?? (other than the bat icon of course)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] whoisthedrizzle:
MORPHABLE! thanks pendo!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Yeah, I adjusted the title just a bit as it sounded a little misleading. The change with the newest 3 versions, is that they now will *respond* to metamorphs. With all of the other versions, metamorph had no effect (well, unless someone wrote the morph differently).

These are STILL A FLASH ZIP....I have not found a way to apply just the battery in a morph. But with these CM6 rc-3 versions, you CAN apply existing morphs, with the caution to not apply the battery morph portion.

You must flash the battery mod FISRT, then morph on top of it.

See above.

Unfortunately I haven't figured out a way to do this (yet, hopefully). According the the wii on metamorphs google page, it is able to apply resource files and "pretty much anything inside an apk or jar" I could be wrong, but I believe my hang up is that I haven't figured out a way to have metamorph apply the chaged resources correctly. It will morph over the new images no problem. I've tried several variations of including the resource changes, but none are working. So far the only thing to morph is the charging status in lockscreen. Of course if didn't want all of the images, but that defeats the whole point of this mod!

So your choices are either use one of the newest CM6 versions and morph over it with whatever variations you want, OR build in all the theming into a flash.zip. I've already done this for CM6 rc3 and Enomther's v 2.11.3 for Manup's theme, and a few other requests.

Let me know if there's something else I can do while I continue to research the metamorph issue...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] anti_hero666:
Thanks for the reply..

gonna try ur 1st suggestion now...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] t0ph0id:
Is it possible to get this one working on the nightly build?

Just gave it a go and it aborted.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rqballjh:
I'm on the latest leaked GB for DX, it's NDROID 2.3.3, BUILD 4.5.595. I can't really see your battery options, there are no screenshots, only zip files. Is there somewhere I can look at them?

I baciscally want a blue cirlce that fades to greay as the battery discharges, and it has the % charge left in the center. i've seen it other places but can't seem to find it now.....

Really is no ROM per se, other than the rooted deodexed GB build, holding off on ROMs till the OTA hits and gets rooted...........
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] spania85:
I really like your mod, hoping for an update soon :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Sure, just started downloading it. Anything in particular? One of the recent ones I posted?

Yeah, well. My photobucket kept going over and the images were disappearing so I just took the links down. Plus I kinda figured everybody knew what they were at this point, but I forget we have new folks in all the time. I have most of the "classic" circles and I tend to use their same naming conventions for familiarity. Most of them are modded a bit from the original to add additional charging frames. There's also a handful that are exclusive to me, like an all green battery (verde) and a spiffed up G version in that I made the numbers all white (instead of the greyish) and I really made the gold color 'pop.'

My most recent versions are my best, imo, because I made them enirely myself. I created a very large master file to make it easier to create 100 even slices of the circle. For that battery I have 3 different ones made up. I call them "smooth" and there's a C version that goes from blue>green>yellow>orange>red, a smooth green gradient version that's the same as smooth C but doesn't start at blue, and a smooth F (no gradient). Once again trying to use some of the older names for color association.

I'll work on some shots to give you an idea though, focusing on my newer ones.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksnexusone:
ok, first i was trying to DL the smoothgradientgreen circle battery. not exact spelling but hopefully you get the idea. and i had a question about if this mod would load on to another android phone and work? I have a HD2 and i would love to run this on my either my hyperdroid gbx or typhoon cm7v3.2.6 roms. what do you think?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Here's a few sheets I put together to give you an idea of what the 3 newer circle batteries look like. The charging animation might look slow depending on your browser, but it is not on the phone...nor is it too fast.

smooth C

smooth Green Gradientt

smooth F

No, these mods are device AND rom specific. With very few exceptions they have to be made for your current rom release. The rare exception is small incremental updates *sometimes* with cyanogen you can reuse the same file.

Here's smoothGreenGradient on fitsnugly's 7.1 though for ya. Flash in recovery (remember to have a recent nandroid available just in case, if you don't make one)

fitsnugly_7.1-smoothGreenGradient-signed.zip
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksnexusone:
Wow this looks great. I love no lines in the circle, really smooth. Think you can cook something up for typhoon cm7 for my hd2? On the latest 7. something
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Yeah, I didn't really see a release of that anywhere where I could snag the file(s) I need to build you one :-/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Thanks :)

hmm I can't remember off the top of my head but it seems like I had a problem with that device. I know it can be done though, I'll try to look into it when I get a chance.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] -Phazenine-:
I'm also looking for a red circle battery icon for my N1 running CM7.0.3
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Atento:
Is it working with nightlies?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Don't have a red one made up. And sorry, I really don't have the time to make one. While I don't think their offerings are quite as nice as mine, the UOT does off a ton of different styles and are quite nice. I'd recommend looking there.

Nope. I don't traditionally support nightly's...just too much work. For nightly's I suggest the UOT as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksnexusone:
what is the UOT if you dont mind me asking??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
UOT is the

heming Kitchen. It's basically a website that works like a customized rom "buffet" where you can pick and choose out of a slew op theming products. It was started by a few guys in the Desire forum. The guys who got it going as far as I know were Qliratu (he seemed to be the guy behind the actual kitchen part and was in charge of code stuff), Fightspit, Avreen, and mrosier. Fightspit's thread is the famous battery circle thread that kinda started it all around xda as far as I know(where I got ALL of my first circles from and later based a few mods on). Avreen and mrosier contributed to some of the earliest circles...way before there even was the UOT. I was involved a bit behind the scenes, mainly working with Qliratu in offering some suggestions and advice regarding apktool. Last I heard Qliratu wasn't actively involved anymore and Mendozinas has kinda taken over (he designed the custom color chooser batteries). While I haven't talked to Qliratu in some time, I do have semi-regular contact with Mendozinas and I can tell you that he is fairly active with the project and is good about answering any questions usually.

Over the months it has grown exponentially(not without bumps in the road) and is certainly a noteworthy accomplishment. During that time I continued to share some of my work, but a couple months ago, I admitted to Mendozinas that I didn't think they did enough to credit dev's whose work that they used. Especially considering the huge amount of traffic and it being automated. I've already had a couple instances where my work has shown up in other distribution channels with no proper attribution....they had got it from UOT. I know of a few others as well. I stated my feelings and opinion on a possible solution and it was rejected. So that's why you won't see me bring it up much anymore.

Sorry for the diatribe, but well, you asked what it was and since I've never mentioned this prior I felt it was a good time to express my thoughts. It is quite a nice little system that they have going on, with potential to be very great.

You should visit: http://uot.dakra.lt/ If you have any questions or issues feel free to post back here....
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] TZAR@:
Thanks for all of your great work. Quick question, are you going to put out a Honeybread theme with no battery? My battery indicator icon is having a personality disorder lol. And again great work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
To be honest, I haven't been keeping up with the themes out there. I guess I didn't even know about a Honeybread theme. Is it a default theme now or do you need to download it from somewhere (I'm still using nightly 62, lol)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] radman57:
I am running Kangorama 1.1 SP1 [CM6.1.1] can I use one of these downloads for that ROM vintage? Thanks in advance...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] -Phazenine-:
Found it

UOT Kitchen is the answer youd be amazed:cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
^^ yes they've got it working pretty well these days. I know that they've updated to the newest apktool and are all set for honeycomb.

Plus you'll get much faster service....that guy who started this thread isn't around as much anymore from what I've heard :p

Im lost!

How do i install Circle Battery? Do i just put it on the root of my SD card as a Zip. and flash it?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
That is a very popular way to apply mod's here. That's how I made all of my battery files as well. It doesn't really have to be in the root directory of the sdcard anymore though as the newer recoveries can use files that are several directories deep. I regularly flash out of /sdcard/download :)

Also, (forgive me if you already know this) but the battery mods are very rom specific. You need to make sure that the battery mod you're flashing is built from your framework files. There would have to be separate files for cyanogen 7.0 and 7.1 for instance (does not apply batteries applied via t-mobile theme chooser). I only mention this, as this thread is not maintained like it used to be.

An alternative is to use the UOT. They don't have my exact batteries (they use a few of my mods), but do have very similar ones plus lots of other theming things. But as it's an automated process, it can return a zip to flash in just a few minutes.

CM7.1 battery

Heya!,

I tried to install the CM 7.0.3 battery, for CM 7.1.0 - I thought that nothing much was changed there, but apperantly my N1 didn't boot properly.

Have developed a proper version for CM 7.1.0?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Yes I did do a couple the other day by request in my better gingerbread thread.

CM7.1-SmoothC-signed.zip

CM7.1-smoothF_battery-signed.zip

Please be advised that most theme chooser themes will interfere with the operation of these as whatever battery images are in the theme will show instead of these. And since most themes don't use as many images as I do this causes the images to alternate back and forth.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Adi Levy:
Thanks! you are doing a really good job in maintaining this code.

b.t.w, do I need to apply one of these also?

Cyanbread-no_battery.zip

Androidian&Cyanbread-no_battery.zip

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

Ok,

Just applied it, with my existing Cyanbread-no_battery.zip,

working great!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] avgjoemomma:
pendo, could you make smooth CM 7.1 versions with the primary colour #ff3f9bbf ?

I want to try this out on the ICS theme: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310925

Thanks so much :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Good to see my old friend sonny's still at it. :)

I can make my circle in any colors you'd like. However, the tmobile theme engine system is similar to metamorph in that it "overrides" or redirects normal apk resources.

This in and of itself isn't a horrible thing, but presents a problem if you want to modify the battery that's in the theme. There's basically 2 ways to do what you want.

Remove the battery images and redirection xml from the theme apk.

Modify the theme to include the desired battery images.

Either case involves decompiling, and therefore recompiling and that's where the problem is. Our "standard" method doesn't work because the themes have to be compiled with a extending attributes aapt flag. There's a couple ways to do this that I know of, but for my personal theme I've just been adding it to my source tree and compiling it from scratch including my edits.

Lol you may not care about that stuff, just giving you some background. I haven't tested this much, nor do I have experience with the original theme so let me know if anything's off. You will need to uninstall the existing theme, and then install either via adb or copy to your sdcard and install the "normal" way.

Also, please be aware that this apk will not receive any notice of updates sonny makes any.

All props to sonny for his continued theme work! He is certainly one of the better themers out there and somehow manages to put out a *ton* of quality work. I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him in the past.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] avgjoemomma:
Thanks so much and I really do appreciate your explaining the background as I am new to theming (as a user, I don't have the talent to create :p ) I'm in awe of people like you and Sonny:o
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
You're welcome!

I'd say it's a fairly safe guess to say that many modders first get their feet wet with theme stuff. And there's plenty of help available around here if/when you want to get started. It was the dang super circle that sucked me into the fold, lol. I had to have it on the N1 and at the time, nobody was making it.

It's funny to think about it....back then it seemed complex and actually took me a while to figure it out. Now, I'd say that 60-70% of my pm's are about help with apktool related stuff. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Swarles:
Thanks for everything. I am using cm7 and tried installing this apk by transferring to my sd-card but I keep getting the message "cannot open file." Is there a way around this? Would installing via adb produce a better result? I would love to be able to have the circle battery with the ICS theme. Thanks for your help!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Hm...it should install fine provided you don't have the original also installed. You can try to install with adb but that's really still using the same mechanisms I believe. The adb command is just "adb install ICS.apk" (provided that the apk is in the present working directory of your terminal)

There is also the possibility that the download was bad. You might try to download it again. You should be able to do it from the phone browser, btw.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Syntax323:
I use cyanobread. Have to install that no battery than the actual battery mod?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Syntax323:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Cpt.Curry:
hey pendo, sorry for the misunderstanding with the pm, what I meant was that the galaxy S theme that you made isn't flashing, when I try to flash the theme it says verification failed installation aborted other than that love your work. Is it possible to get the new Version D working with enom prethemed, it looks pretty cool since each percent discharge causes the circle to go down by 1. Which is kinda awesome...

thanks

Where's the Metamorph downloads?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I mentioned this earlier, but perhaps you missed it. I'm not super keen on chasing nightlies. When it makes it to Release Candidate, sure.

Dude, my bad. And I actually had a nice response typed up in a pm (as well as a fairly lengthy post in enom's thread) and was putting some finalizing touches on a new upload. I was waiting until I had it tested out before posting, and then BAM, the board goes down, lol. There were still a couple of things I didn't like in the new upload (colors off too much on some stat_sys icons) so I'm in the process of cleaning it up. Good news is, I think I've got a working Maps.apk with a new launcher icon (hope you guys like it) as well as getting more of the status bar icons to jive with the theme. And I'm changing the Gmail launcher icon. Give me another 30 minutes or so, and it should be live.

Sorry :o

Man, I need to come up with a better title. I've changed it a couple times now, but it's still giving the impression that I have an actual morph. Still don't have that, BUT the newest CM6 versions at the end of the post will ACCEPT morphing, where as in the past they didn't.

Sorry for the confusion...in addition to the title I probably should put a note at the top of the post clarifying this.
