Can we get a black keyboard mod for GB? I know theming will be a little more difficult from what I have read thus far and I am not sure how difficult a blacked out keyboard would be. I use to run fission and bounced back and forth between BWC and Third Eye Black theme. Really liked the keyboard in Third Eyes Theme.

Either blacked out or even a super dark grey would be sweet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even the circle battery mod with the tick marks and the percentage inside would be nice just for now. Anyone agree with me? Love the GB set up right now must would like to add those two things and that would be a great start...

I guess what I'm trying to say is can we just get a couple mods to tide us over????
 
as far as i know all that needs to be done is an edit of the battery xml and we can just replace the icons as we want but idk what part of it to edit i suppose i could compare the froyo one with the 10 % and the gb one with 20% and see what the difrence is and edit from there ill report back with my findings
 
Thanks for looking into it. I think the BWC battery would be a sweet color match for GB. Same with a charcoal or black keyboard... I can wait for themes to drop just guess I was getting a little ancy is all, lol.
 
so...i looked and i cant tell a difference but i have4 never really done xml before so i really dont know what im looking at anyway sorry im not much help :/

Big Cat you read my mind. There is something about the black keyboard that is easier to see. I also like a circle battery mod with 10% increments
 
I'd like to see a keyboard themed the color of the new notification bar. I'm really digging the cool blue tone.

I am too. That coupled with the grey battery circle icon would set this off. I honestly don't think much more is needed right now as far as I am concerned till a Rom or two is released... But that is just me..
 
Is anyone else seemingly getting crazy battery life out of this ROM? Or have I just had a lucky two days on it?

Seriously I'm used to plugging my phone in everytime I get in the car, and everytime I sit down on the couch. But ever since flashing GB I've been out and about without a plug in, and I've been playing on my phone almost non-stop fiddling with all the new stuff going around and my battery has barely dropped at all. That's according to the battery meter in the notification bar, my 'BatteryLeft' is showing a lot less charge, but I figure that's because it's programmed to measure the battery life of my DX on Froyo. On Gingerbread this thing seems like a down right tree-hugging, penny-pinching, energy concious, hippy!

Of course two days isn't enough time to truly guage any real pattern. Honestly the only thing I haven't done is go in and over clock it yet. But the OC I always use bumps it up to 1.2 mhz, but I undervolt it, so I'd always assumed I was balancing it out. Maybe I'll just leave it alone for a while and see if I do notice a positive gain in unplug time.
 
right now I am overclocked to 1.2 and undervolted (Ultra Low voltage) using JRummys app and I would have to say my battery life is close to double what it was on 2.2 with apex overclocked to 1.15 using ULV
I'm stunned. I unplug at 6 every morning and usually by 11 or 12 at night im between 20% to empty. not anymore. past 2 nights I have been at 50% when I plug in at night.
so a solid 18 hours of use (and I use it A LOT) only loosing 50% is amazing in my book
 
I'd be interested in doing the keyboard. Anyone know where the keyboard files are in this leak? I need to start learning to theme some of the actual interface instead of always making docks and widgets.
