When creating this theme did you edit any xmls? Also you should have added screen shots of other things like the settings screen and the buttons and notifications, etc.

But i do commend you. I tried to do an ics theme on 2.3.6 and i kept getting fc's.

No, I don't even know how to edit xmls :eek: I mean I know how its just I don't know what to edit and stuff. When you were theming did you use a 2.3.4 SysUI.apk and framework.apk? Because that's what I did on my first try along with adding Holo to the zip. I got conflicts from the stock launcher and Holo and certaint things from the 2.3.6 framework were missing so the lockscreen and status bar kept Force Closing. Theming the 2.3.6 apks instead of the 2.3.4 apks allowed it to work. Took me all day, but I did it :D

Well to fix the charge stuck at 5% you'll have to decompile your framework-res and go the drawable folder. You're gonna have to edit stat_sys_battery_charge and stat_sys_battery_charge_err. If you look at those you'll find out why it's stuck at that.

If you're using 5% (same goes for 1%) battery increments make sure you have the proper number of pngs (Look at the unthemed rom framework and count the charging animations.) and that they're numbered properly that will solve your charging animation issue.

Lol ty I will look into it ;)
