yes, using UOT kitchen.
this is how to replace the battery icon UOT kitchen
1. Copy file framework-res.apk using root explorer (u can find it in->system/framework. Copy to PC/netbook, on the desktop or where so easy.
2. open web: uot.dakra.lt , and then klik "kitchen" , "battery" , "use this mod"
3. after selecting the icon battery according to taste, klik "file upload" klik theme chooser preview "mdpi" , "upload system file" and then choose frameworkres.apk, just wait until complete
4. if its complete, klik "summary" , "submit work to kitchen"
5. it would appear that our file upload code, wait about 5 minutes
6. If UOT dah finished cooking, prepared in the download file and the flash using recovery

Have you modified the framework-res.apk, i.e like by using any 7zip archiever and added or deleted files from the apk? If yes, then that's a main brut force exception the UOT aapt is giving.
Use the ORIGINAL stock framework-res.apk file from the Micromax New Version without changing anything inside it. It would cook 100%. Change everything as per your wish and then let it cook. Download the file, and you're done.

I don't think I had altered that file anyway let me give it another shot. by the way is there any software to do it within a pc not online I mean that site takes too much of time

No there is no other way to do it if u r not familiar with apk modification. ApkManager can help u do the same offline but u have to change each n everything manually bu urself,u will hv to learn a lot of things too,which file ia for what n all,its complex,google if u need...
N one more thing,may be u also have to upload SystemUI.apk along with framework-res.apk bcoz this is a GB rom.

No software yet to modify the framework and customize it automatically but you can use ApkTool or ApkManager to unpack the Framework. But after that if you want to change things like status bar background and underlines and shadows, you must know how to work with draw9patch tool of Android SDK and also how to create 9 patch graphics in photoshop.
And believe me, it took an expert modder like me nearly 7 days to modify all the 9patches inside. It's pretty hefty, if you're having upload problems. Try catching up a faster internet connection. That's your failure cause!!

Metamorph is not that much safe..it has ended up many devices in bootloop or softbrick...so i wouldn't recommend it, best is to use UOT-Kitchen,find some faster internet n u will get what u want.

Yes you surely can... Just replace APK's! But its a 50-50 chance of working or not....

tried it with both phone.apk and Contacts.apk but then an error keeps poping up and phone and contacts are gone, I wonder Phone.odex file next to apk got to do anything with that?
There must be a way to do this you guys do change default Dialer in your roms on top of that default dialer looks disgusting I am sure everyone wants to get rid of that!

Dialer is never changed in stock or modified stock in any rom...the rom that have been ported from some other device only have different dialer.
We tried to change default dialer in A70 too previously but it's not possible to replace default dialer completely, need to mod many many things.
So what u can do is, install some alternative dialer app like exDialer n set it to default one but then also u can't change the dialer screen, rest all eg.dial pad,contacts app etc. will get change.
but then again thank you
