Root Circle Battery Indicator

[ThatOneDude05]

I got one from the Dark Gray Status bar theme from over at XDA but would really just like the circle on top of the Nex Theme since its so awesome . Anyone know where I can get one at. Ive searched a lot of other forums and found some for other droids but didn't know if it would work with the X and most of them had to be installed through metamorph. Thanks in advance.

I did it for the Revolution theme if you're interested. I will try to mod Nextheme when I get home.

Here you go man. This is my first time trying this so proceed with caution.
@Fab I hope it's OK to MOD your work. If not tell me and I'll take it down.
Thanks

Awesome Ill give it a whirl in a bit and let ya know how it goes. Thanks alot!! it looks awesome!


EDIT: Should I install the REVO theme first then install or do you think will work just over the top of another theme?

That is the entire revo theme, just with the battery icon swapped out. So you can install as normal. I don't know if you can install a theme over another theme; i haven't needed to do that.

It worked great. Looks even better! Thanks alot!! Can't wait to see it with the NEX theme. Thanks again.

I can't get NexTheme off MediaFire. I'll edit it if the download becomes active again. Glad you liked it.

Sweet I'm trying this when I get off work... thanks for your hard work

Looks good!! One thing though when the battery does drop it just doesn't drop 1 little bar it does 1 and a half of the next one. Thats the ONLY thing. Great job Otherwise!! I need to learn how to do this

Do you think you could post a screen shot of how this looks?

One of my posts, above, has a screenshot with the circular battery.

In the revo theme link, got it, thanks.

I'll work on getting the battery in an isolated zip incase anyone wants to load it over another theme. Hopefully it works out.

 

[tcallahan]

yawdapaah, if you could that it would be so very handy. I would like to put this over most of the themes i use.

Im really curious on how your doing this lol..... i was looking into stuff last night and just couldn't find anything relevant... don't you edit the framework-res.apk?

Yes. Framework-res can be changed into a zip file. Then it's just a matter of replacing the files 1:1. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do this. Just tried it and it worked lol.

How do you open up the .APK file?

 

[yawdapaah]

Change the file extension from .apk to .zip. You can use any zip file extractor after that.

Oh derr lol.... it would be that simple thanks a lot!

ok I might sound like an idiot right not but oh well....... i cant figure out how to do this lol.... for some reason my laptop is set to open up .apk files in notepad...could this be causing the problem.. i tried to figure out how to change that and still couldn't. Thanks in advance.

That shouldn't matter as long as you can see the files extension (.apk part). If you can't, go to tools > folder options > view, and enable the extensions for known file types. Then you can change apk to zip and extract.
