Thanks for ZipThemer, it seems to have worked well on CELB v4. I did not download a new copy of the HTC black status bar (I assume the original post has been updated), I used an old one. Should I still do that even though things seem to be fine? I'm only using the status bar, not the notification panel.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kellinwood:
It probably doesn't matter at this point, but the next version of ZipThemer will require new downloads of my theme files because I'm changing the internal meta-data format to support advanced features, such as copying the cmparts_ui.xml file into place automatically.

Bump. Updated for Gingerbread.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] cmajpwc:
So I'm running GSB 1.8

It works fine on boot up, but it appears when I get a notification, the battery reverts back to the stock icon, not the HTC one. That and the "Installed Successfully" icons aren't the stock HTC ones either, although I don't have a problem with that.

Edit: It actually just seems to be when I'm installing apps. When I get the notification it was installed and it goes away, it reverts back to the stock battery. I wonder if it has something to do with the stock installed successfully icon being stock. Any ideas how to fix it?

Edit 2: Now the battery icon won't show up unless I'm charging. If its off the charger it's the stock icon. Everything else seems to stay the same, though.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kellinwood:
First, the market notification icons aren't updated by this theme. Its possible that I could update the theme to include these, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

The battery icon issue is probably related to the status bar customizations that our friend, workshed, introduced in GSB 1.7. I'm thinking that he added more than the standard 6 battery levels in his version and this theme won't be able to handle that. I'm currently on 1.6, but just downloaded v1.8 so I'll take a look when I have some time.

Ken
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] cmajpwc:
Yeah, that seems to be it. It seems to switch every so often. I'm guessing about 10...maybe more? I'm not sure. It does switch between the stock and HTC battery icon, however. Also, it doesn't bother me that the stock market notifications are in there. I only mentioned it because I thought that that had something to do with the battery switching back (which I know know doesn't)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kellinwood:
I've updated the HtcStatusBar4GB.zip file to include copies of the HTC battery icons at the 5% increments that exist in the newer GingerShedBread (GSB) ROMs. This fixes the switching between themed and un-themed icons as the battery level drops.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] chlila:
Ken,

Do you know how to change the color of the stock battery (flashable .zip or MetaMorph)? I fell in love with the blue battery from earlier versions of TaintedTenzo, but that ROM has been updated with a GB battery. I'm thinking of the same battery icon, just blue. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

chlila
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kellinwood:
Sure, the process goes like this:

1. Copy /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your phone to your computer and extract it using a zip utility.

2. Look in res/drawable-mdpi for files named stat_sys_battery_NN.png and stat_sys_battery_charge_animN.png where NN are numbers.

3. Edit all of these images using Photoshop or Gimp to create your blue battery icons. Alternatively, you can copy the battery image files from another ROM's framework-res.apk.

4. Create a MetaMorph zip file containing only the updated battery images. Here's my web page with some instructions.

5. Test your morph by installing with ZipThemer.

Ken
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] chlila:
Thank you so much! I'll report back when it's complete!!!

Ken,

I'm getting hung up creating the .xml file. I have both a Mac and PC. Can you lead me to a program to help me create the .xml file? When I use TextEdit and save it as an .xml, it saves it as a Word 2003 .xml.

Thanks,

chlila
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] kellinwood:
Notepad on Windows should work. It doesn't do anything so "helpful" as to be harmful :)

TextWrangler on the Mac appears that it might also do the trick, but I have absolutely no experience with it.

[Droid Incredible General] m52power:
I noticed today when my firend had his EVO 4G apart that the battery was almost the same size. I test fit it into my Dinc and IT FITS. The EVO battery is about 2mm thicker but the stock Dinc back case still snaps on the back (although tighter than with the stock battery).

Dinc capacity 1300mah, EVO 1500mah.

So for anybody that wants to squeeze a little more juice out of their phone while still being compact skinny this is the perfect solution! :D
[Droid Incredible General] tats_06:
HTC HD2 battery also fits and it's 1500mah as well...I think it's just an HTC OEM. ;)
[Droid Incredible General] nathan_barstow14:
And the, now old, TP2 battery (which is also 1500mah, got it for like $15 online), and the Eris battery (same size though).
[Droid Incredible General] sliderocket22:
This is nice to hear, as I run down my Inc's battery very quickly every day. Although I think seeing a battery that was NOT bright red in my phone would be strange now lol. Is the Evo's battery red too? I know the TP2's is not.
[Droid Incredible General] nixon7606:
EVO Battery

You can get 2 EVO batteries and a ext charger on ebay for 10 bucks.

I have ordered one. I will post back with results.

[Droid Incredible General] eMpTy3000:
Looks nice! Especially the dock charger. I would love to not ever have to plug in my phone and be able to just swap batteries with the dock charger.

Please let us know how it all turns out including how well the dock charger handles the charging (especially when you leave the battery on the charger for longer than needed.)
[Droid Incredible General] SerialKilla:
Be careful with those knock off batteries...
[Droid Incredible General] mb02:

[Droid Incredible General] m52power:
Yup the EVO 4G battery is the same bright red as ours so it matches too :)
[Droid Incredible General] tdavis42:
This is REALLY good to know! Thank You!
[Droid Incredible General] sliderocket22:
Excellent :) I may be buying an EVO battery or two. I could really use the extra juice and the extended life batteries make the phone feel way too big.
[Droid Incredible General] fastandlight:
If you are going to order a battery why not just get the Seidio 1750 mAh battery? Same size as stock, bigger capacity. I wouldn't say it is life changing, but it definitely helps get me through the day.

http://store.androidcentral.com/seidio-innocell-1750mah-extended-battery/8A37A6399.htm
[Droid Incredible General] Div033:
The Seidio 1750mAh battery has been tested several times to actually be a 1500mAh battery... I'd stick with OEM over third party.
[Droid Incredible General] weallareone:
Its Nice

i saw this post last week.. and ordered an Evo battery for $20 from Amazon. It fits,, i am not going to say it fits perfectly.. but i use a skin i use to protect my incredible so.. it doesnt make any difference for me.. i did a full charge.. and i definitely got 2 hours more with heavy use.. and i think its similar or better than the 1750mah battery... :)
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
I've been using an EVO 1500 battery as well as the Seidio 1750 battery, and I can honestly say that I get much better battery with the Seidio 1750 battery. I know that the tests (or test, batteryboss only really tested one battery) out there say it's not as good as what a 1750 mAh battery is supposed to be, but I know that I've gotten better battery life out of it than both the stock 1300 and the EVO 1500. It's also a smidgen smaller than the EVO 1500, so it fits a little bit better in the phone.
[Droid Incredible General] Dsoto87:
Battery boss isnt the only one who tested it. There was someone over on androidforums who tested the batteries out and the 1750 actually came out to less the the 1500s. The 1500s on the other hand (oem ones) actually were all pretty consistent.

I personally wouldnt pay the extra money to get what may "seem" like slightly better battery life. My $10 1500 serves me fine.

Dont take this as a criticism though, if you feel youre getting more on the 1750 then the 1500 then more power to you. I just wanted to put this information out there.
[Droid Incredible General] fallout1:
Does using an EVO battery or HD2,etc affect the Droid Incredible negatively in any way? i.e. differences in voltage, or some other feature that comes from using batteries not made for the phone? Or is it pretty much a one-size-fits-all deal where as long as the battery fits physically it doesn't matter. (i.e. will using a different battery void any warranties?)

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I bought knock off batteries from China and loved them but the temperatures reported wrong
[Droid Incredible General] khukman:
FWIW, I purchased a charger that looks identical to this one (from CellphoneShop.net http://www.cellphoneshop.net/pro2desktop.html) and it works great! The light strip across the top goes from red to blue once it is fully charged. I have the stock battery plus a 2150Ma, so I just switch them out when I go to bed and the 2150 is ready to go in the morning when I leave for work. Another bonus to this type of charger is that it doesn't stress your USB port. I've had a few phones that I had to return because the port stopped charging/got loose and you had to fiddle with it. I for one like to leave the port for fun stuff like ADB or copying new ROMs to flash!

Take it easy!

Hi,

I read that one of the ways to decrease battery drain is to install task manager that can kill processes. Also, I heard that task killer would drain battery itself.

So, what would you suggest?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
I used to believe they were necessary but after conducting some research i have found that they are not needed as the Android OS automatically handles the closing of apps over time... and they do not save battery life.

See this detailed article for more info:

A minfree manager might be usefull though. It lets you change the way android handles memory and task-killing.

Can someone confirm that there is no Live Wallpaper on the official release of 2.1 from Rogers. I can't seem to find it or active it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] AdrianK:
If they aren't under Wallpapers > Live Wallpapers then they aren't there. I don't think carriers included LWPs in the ROMs any armv6 android phones.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] magicdroid:
Confirmed!

LWP support is not in Rogers's stock rom.

The files that are missing are LiveWallpapers.apk & LiveWallpapersPicker.apk (pick the ones from Chapishimp's rom)

Juts install these and a launcher that supports LiveWallpapers, and you're ready to go.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] LAHAL Droid:
So I installed LiveWallpapers.apk & LiveWallpapersPicker.apk & Launcherpro, but it doesn't work.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] AdrianK:
You need to do some '****' which requires root. Have a look in the Legend forums, someone got LWPs working on the stock ROM, there should be an explanation on that page.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] albert emmer:
live wallpaper from capychimp doesnt use any launcher, i guess...

try install the apks and press menu button, if you find "configure" theres the live wallpaper you can activate
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] magicdroid:
Here is capy's rom (look under /system/app folder for LiveWallpapers.apk & LiveWallpapersPicker.apk)

Install them (by pushing to /system/app, you need root, installing from SDCard gives me FC's, but you can always try by rebooting/clearing caches, etc. I didn't have enough time to test it out), and install an LWP of your liking (eg. Android peeing)

Install Launcher Pro or ADW Launcher (from market)... and Home Selector to switch from Sense Home to either of these.

From the home screen, press "Menu", select "Wallpaper", and you should see the new option "Live Wallpapers" (besides the regular "HTC Wallpapers", "Photos" and "Wallpaper Gallery" options)
