Root Fix for status bar battery indicator

Can this method (or something similar) be used to have the Battery Indicator display more intervals with the Super Circle battery indicator??? (perhaps in increments of 5% or 10%, instead of just 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%)
 
The super circle battery with galaxo 1.6.3.4 is displaying 0%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%.

I don't quite understand how it can display in increments of 10% for the lowest three, but then 20% for the rest. It also doesn't display the value to the nearest "20%" anyway, so in my opinion it's even worse than before.
 
Is this implemented in galaxo 1.6.3/3-4 or Dark Sense themes by inFECT
Also is this goin to be implemented on Froyo GAOSP

Any idea folks ?
 
In Froyo GAOSP (if you didn't try it), the bar indication (thanks to cyangenmod) is displayed 100, 99, 98,... You get the point I guess.
 
It is simply not supported by Samsungs Framework on Donut (according to drakaz)

GAOSP is based on AOSP, thats why it is working there.
 
Is there anyway to revert the super circle battery back to the old one?
Displaying the WRONG percentage is just useless, i prefer the green meter (the original one), especially since im using 'battery indicator' app.
 
OK, thanks, I took it from the 1.6.3.2 zip file (from /system/framework) and i copied it (using root explorer) to system/framework on the phone , BUT , now my phone doesn't boot (stuck at the animation).
I guess i did something wrong, I just don't know what it is.
Im gonna go back to my nandroid backup for now, inFECT, do you have any other suggestions?
 
Hi,
I have modded the framework-res.apk from the Galaxo, in order to have a more detailed battery indicator.
Stock battery icon pack has 7 steps. My icon pack has 18 steps.

This patch works with Galaxo 1.6.3.4.
I think it should works on every Galaxo 1.6.3.x but I didn't test it.

Installation:
- Copy zip file on sdcard
- Boot in recovery mode
- Fix Packages Permission
- Apply any zip from sd
 
But does it display all 18 states? Drakaz added the Super Circle battery meter in 1.6.3.4 but it also only displays 7 states (0, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80,100).

He stated it was a limitation with Samsung's donut implementation.
 
Yes, it displays all the 18 states.
At least it seems so to my eyes :D

The trick is to modify the file "stat_sys_battery.xml", adding the new levels.

Click to expand...

you might want to tell that to Drakaz, perhaps he missed that tiny little thing with all the other hard work.
 
"Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/batteria_galaxo_1634__senza_nu.zip
(bad)
installation failed"

I tried several times, after fixing permissions, and i've download the file 3 times:)
Any idea why it doesn't work?
 
TYPO! Sorry, LOL! ) Corrected it was an 's' leftover from 'perhaps' ) although perhaps was not missing that 's' )))
