Very nice. Could I request a blue meter?

 

I'm actually a web & graphic designer, so I'd love to design some variations of this meter. What images do I need to edit / create?

 

Wow that's not bad....Bookmarking this thread for when I get home later.

 

Quick question, are these 10% or 1% meters?

 

Let me see what I can do with these tonight when I get home from work. Unfortunately, they are flattened and rasterized files, so I will do my best to make them look decent.

I probably could create a new type of icon from scratch, so I'll keep you posted.

 

works fine with PMF2

 

I did a very rough edit to the .png files you supplied. Since they are flattened and rasterized, it is somewhat difficult to modify those images. However, I was able to tweak them as close to the blue used in this theme. Hopefully they don't look too rough loaded up.

I created 2 versions. blueBattery1.zip has the empty cells in white, while blueBattery2.zip has the empty cells outlined in white (like the supplied white battery images)

Version 1


Version 2


I'm going to try and create some new versions from scratch tonight

 

neither... unfortunately. 20% increments. It is just replacing the stock images. It does not change the value.

 

i wonder if replacing it with images for each percentage (using the same naming convention) would have it go in 1% increments...just a thought.

 

I would assume there is a reference file that calls out the images based on battery level threshold. That file would need to be edited as well. It's usually an XML, however I'm not exactly sure with this.

 

stat_sys_battery.xml

perhaps this will help anyone who wants to give it a shot...

obviously the droid (from what i know) only reports in 10% increments, so ignore that part...we should be able to do every 1%.

 

Love the white one.

 

We Install in Recovery correct?

Edit. Answer is Yes.

 

If its anything like Windows Mobile, thats a bad thing. Constantly polling like that decreases battery life. its a lose-lose situation.

 

but is it polling or just accepting the messages the system sends out when battery decreases? that's how batteryindicator works...

 

I was just in the middle of creating a stock replacement battery icon with the percentages. Looks like I was already beat to the punch, but these look great

 

Yeah, I was actually going to work on that. But how do I extract the images out of the zip file, then re-compile the zip for installation? Once I can figure out how to do that, I can start making some nice themes and add-ons.
