*******UPDATE ***********
For people who want to use a battery percent hack with CM7, I really recommend you use Rover.Prince's theme APK.
Note that you can customize Rover's theme - that is, you can rename the apk to zip, open it and drop in your own icons, and resign the apk. The battery icons are in the "res\drawable-hdpi" directory.
For example, here's a customized version of Rover's theme - it has Rover's color icons for the items in the settings menu, the blue-themed graphics from the Cyanbread theme, and my FroyoGinger battery percent icons:
CM7_Rover_CyanAgain.apk
I've themed my phone using this method and haven't seen any issues. Well, there are two small odd things actually 1) after you install it and view it in the Theme Chooser, the preview is just a black screen. Not sure why, the apk must not like having a different preview image dropped in. 2) the theme doesn't apply a wallpaper. to get around this, I apply the CyanBread theme, then apply my updated Rover theme.
These things don't seem to affect how the theme works though. All UI theme elements are applied just fine.
enjoy!
YMMV, batteries not included, don't blame me if your phone grumbles at you
As always, you may wanna Nandroid or run Titanium Backup first - but I haven't needed to.
----------------------------
Here's a sample of what my battery icons look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here's how this icon style looks in situ, with Rover's theme chooser theme applied:

Cool, glad you like
I originally got those icons from the UOT Kitchen, but then I image-magicked them up to have bigger numbers, and also made the icons below 15% solid red - since that's getting in the danger zone when you're playing Angry Birds
Could you use Edify scripting for this package?
I get the Amend deprecated error in clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 which I installed because Cyanogenmod will not support 2.x recoveries anymore with version 7.
Thanks in advance!
The take2 version looks great, would love to try it!

Ask and ye shall recieve
I'm adding a zip to the OP that contains an updater script. I happened to have dsixda-kitchen installed and so I gave this a shot. Hopefully it does the trick. I've never created an updater script before, so let me know if it works... also, I don't have a 3.x clockworkmod to test.
Can you explain this: "Cyanogenmod will not support 2.x recoveries anymore with version 7."? I've seen this mentioned in the forums, but I'm running a 2.x clockworkmod with CM7 and haven't seen any problems. I'd really appreciate any info on why we need 3.x clockworkmod, just curious.
hey, I see that lots of people have downloaded the scripts - pop a post on the thread and let me know if they work.
Also, I'd assume that these scripts should be good for a few builds - if anyone tries them on 13 or later, let me know. I don't plan on updating them every day, but if someone tells me they're broken I'll try and update them.
That did the trick! Works like a charm now, thanks!
I also installed a nightly CM7 build once with 2.5.0.7 and worked flawless so I guess they'll be forcing the new builds only with the release candidates or maybe just the final.
I'm ready for it 8)

Groovy, glad you liked.
I'm adding another FroyoTake2zip for Build13 to the OP. Amend only, can't do Edify script now, sorry, no Linux box.
Not working in cm7 #20
GingerbreadBatteryPercent_Build12.zip Is not working in CM7 #20 it wil loop the CM7 bootlogo and you need to restore your backup to get the phone working again. I hope there is going to be an update soon as i love to see the battery percentage.
Thnx
love this widget
i'm using the latest build #21
which one should i download??
anyone got any for build 21 or tonights 22?
Sorry, I don't think I can update these without a framework-res.apk that's compaltible with battery percent and the latest build.
I was getting these from Rover.Prince builds for his theme. He had stopped building them... looks like he may continue in the next day or two... if he posts another updated framework-res I'll post an updated icon set.
keep your eyes peeled...
Just added build 23 for the take2 style... no access to linux box to create an Edify update zip. If anyone wants to create one and post it feel free - just grab the framework-res.apk out of my zip and create your own update zip.
also, if you prefer the other icon styles, you can grab them out of the framework-res.apks in the other zips - the battery icons are in the res/drawable-hdpi folder. Just sort by modified date, that'll make it easy to grab all the percentage icons at once. Just paste those icons into the corresponding folder in the zip for build 23, and you're good to go.
New Build
woop woop Trying build #23 today.
Added an update zip for build 27.
is there an update for #28?
How bout I just skip straight to #30
First post updated with framework zip for nightly build 30.
Trouble Flashing
I have had a bit of trouble flashing the zips for the battery percentage updater. I am thinking this is perhaps related to Amend scripting being used as opposed to Edify (and CWM 3+ lack of support for Amend). Love the froyo-style battery widgets and have used them in a Lucid theme, but I like how your thread references the corresponding cm7 nightly build as well; so, I'd rather just use it (don't need a whole theme). I'm no developer, but I found a thread on edify scripting here... Should I try to convert this or move to a recovery that supports both Amend and Edify (ie AmonRA). Thanks in advance.
I don't have enough knowledge to advise you properly, I'm sorry. I'm currently using AmonRa, but don't know if that will be supported by CM7. I vaguely remember reading that CM7 was going to require CWM recovery 3.0 - but I don't know if that meant it will ONLY officially support CWM or if it just meant to upgrade CWM to latest version.
Making edify scripts is a PITA for me because I don't have access to a linux box all the time. There are conversion tools for Amend to Edify, that's what I used last time.
btw, I haven't updated this in a few days b/c there's been nothing significant for me/Desire in the last few nightlies, according to http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged,n,z
If I see something significant go in, I'll update this thread with a zip for the latest build.
Note that cyanogen and co are currently looking at putting a battery percent mod in the status bar - see http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2789. So hopefully my thread will become obsolete soon Note however, the method they're looking at is the CM6 method where they use a text object overlaid onto 1 of 5 battery icons - which means they don't need 200+ pngs to show the battery percent. If they check that in, then we'll only need to replace 5 icons to theme the battery icon. Watch that space

This project started as just a modified version of Defrost rom and has now shifted to a flashable theme where YOU choose the base rom. Currently it supports Open Desire, Defrost and CyanogenMod. I have also just added an Alpha Deodexed Sense rom version although it lacks some features of the other three. It is made this way with the aim of you having the most choice. It gives me opportunity to work more on updates to actual theme files. The themes should remain compatible with updates to the roms other than big updates.
I will work my hardest to keep the theme updated when necessary.

That's great thanks kmetek. Got a message from drop box about my excessive bandwidth usage lol. Will update first post.
I think youre right about too many roms!
Wicked man thanks :+) this is just what i wanted loved the look of gefrost but didnt want a galaxy style theme so this is top. Hope you keep updating this
As long as richard updates defrost then blufrost and gefrost will at minimum be updated to a newer base.
That's great mate thanks
Running it now. Do you have some battery tips defrost 2.9a seems to cane my battery (i know your nothing to do with defrost but saw somewhere you get pretty good bat even on overclocked rom )
All I can say is I use manual brightness at around 40% most the time. I use juice defender with stock settings. Set cpu I use profiles. I have it set to go to the lowest speed when the screen its off, when battery is below 40% its set to cut speed to half. The rest of the time set to full.
I have weather and face book and twitter sync every two hours. That's about everything. The biggest battery killer its when the optical joypad dies. Requiring a reboot. Which is a problem on defrost, open desire and cyanogen mod.
Is this the same as Gefrost but w/out touchwiz?

It is minus,
Touch wiz
Galaxy live wallpapers
Galaxy ui sound.
Its just defrost with blue theme style and a few extras included in gefrost. Music mod and dark sms app.
Oh and it includes that customisable nexus live wallpaper ;-)

I never claim to do any thing exciting. Anything I have done is what I have done for myself to use and if only 1or 2 people use it I don't mind. It is something that anyone can do themselves but not everyone is comfortable taking apart apk's and editing xml.
I'm just having fun learning.

Maybe not, but this is the perfect vanilla rom. Love the look and feel of the Gala S themes, and DeFrost has always been a great base for roms. I might start learning about deving soon.
Sent from my HTC Desire
I might have a go at this.
what is the difference between gefrost and blufrost??
it seems identical...
You are right they are almost identical. They both use Defrost 2.9a as a base.
Code:
Gefrost BluFrost
Touchwiz Launcher Standard Launcher2 (Slight blue theming)
Galaxy S Live Wallpapers Standard Nexus Live Wallpapers (With Cyanogen Nexus)
Galaxy S UI Sounds Standard UI Sounds
Some extra blue bits (Volume slider, browser loading)
BluFrost is basically Defrost 2.9a themed dark/blue and Gefrost is an attempt at having a Galaxy S experience. All the time using the same awesome base rom. I never claimed it was anything more.
EDIT:
Just to repeat myself. All this is something you could do yourself if you wanted to download all the files and put it together yourself. The image editing and xml work i have done is very basic however i just share it in case there may be one or two users who would like to use it.
Hiiii!
Looks really nice to me! but when i try to flash it i get :
" E:Missing file: data/app/com.koushikdutta.rommanager.apk
E: Verification failed
Installation aborted. "
Sorry if it's a supid question, but, what can i do?
[EDIT]
Sorry, I forgot to disable verification... was stupid indeed
Tried your gefrost as wife has a galaxay but did not like it
Going to give this a try out tho.

Question :- why does noone seem to use the GDE launcher. The cube animation is awesome IMHO

Updated 02-09-2011 to contain custom application icon on rotary lockscreen.
Install Instructions: PLEASE READ!!!
1. Set MetaMorph delay to around 1000 (My exact number is 1054) then press Close
2. Press Unzip/Extract new theme
3. Navigate to where you have Minimalist_Lockscreen_Icons.zip located
4. Select the file
5. Press close on the on the pop up that appears
6. Press Apply all!
7. It WILL force close com.android.phone when it applies the Phone.apk, I do not know of any way around this.
8. While the force close pop up is on the screen, another pop up menu will appear behind the force close pop up and the buttons will say either Continue? or Stop; you must quickly press Force close on the force close pop up, then press Continue? on the other pop up menu; it will then start applying the framework-res.apk
9. The device may freeze up at this point, if it does freeze up (mine did), then wait about 30 seconds, then pull the battery and boot your phone
10. Everything should be applied now
Animations by rover.prince - http://bit.ly/iejwtm
I take no credit whatsoever for these animations.
I have taken them from rover.prince's theme at the request of some users.
Here is the thread where I got the animations.
Apply this with MetaMorph.
Updated to cm_sholes_full-24.zip.
New button and textfield images, not a big difference but something I have wanted to get done for a while.
Fixed DeskClock time text issue in landscape
Added Morph to OP for lockscreen icons for those that do not like completely transparent lockscreen. Please read the instructions and do exactly as they say.
Edit1: Also, I believe with the next release, I am going to restructure the way the links are set up in the OP. As it stands right now, it is an ineffective model that takes up a lot of unnecessary space. As anyone who follows me on twitter knows, when I mention my updates on there, I just link to a folder on media that contains folders of each supported device, then in that folder are the theme files for each device. If I go to just having a link to that main folder containing all the sub folders like I do on twitter, then I do not have to go about updating the links in 9 different threads with each release, and I do not have a space for old download files, since they can be gotten from the same place as the current download file. I think this method will make for a less cluttered OP, and save time overall.

There was a Fusion CM9 build a while back. But unless a cause or cure for the EU bug comes up it is unlikely.

I'm not able to do an exhaustive search because I don't have my laptop with me. If coming from an ICS AOKP ROM, do I have to take special steps, or can I wipe and flash from recovery? My kernel is clockwork based, but I'm not sure if I need to change bootloaders.
Thank you for your work! I basically went straight from froyo into ICS, so I'm curious to see what the GB hype is all about. It seems that there are diehard GB users out there.

the reason it took some convincing for me to do this is I am actually a themer for The Collective not a dev. The extremely talented dev I theme for crt60 has been trying to get me to do a ROM for a while now and MPD ROM is the result.
So if your coming from an ICS based ROM you will have to use Odin to reformat the partitions on your sd card ICS uses a diffrent partition table. I highly recommend the KK4 with repartition by 4-2ndtwin found here then flash the CWM kernel (link in op). You will need to be on I897 GB bootloaders I am not real sure what bootloaders the ICS ROMs use but you can chek your current ROM's thread to find out. If you end up needing them the one clicks linked above has a version with and without bootloaders.
there are a few reasons for the die hard GB fans, there has been a lot of development on GB and some of the features haven't quite made it to ICS yet. There is also the EU bug that has some users afraid of rendering thier device useless from running an ICS ROM. Lastly and I'm prolly gonna open a can of worms on this one but battery life (from what I hear) is better on GB.
Can mods and themes from Legend 4 be used on this rom ?
Edit: I don't think so. I tried the circle battery and on reboot it never got past the boot animation
Signature Block...
Good job Rob, I am sitting here laughing to myself… It only took 3 days for you to put your own ROM in your signature block. :laugh:
Now people will find it… LOL :highfive:

Hi, i'd said i would be posting each week or so but i had to come back to cm 10 because of bluetooth support and didn't want to post any patch if i could not test it myself first. But now that jcsullins came back with a bluetooth enabled rom (yeaaah!!) ill be posting the table ui patches for 4.2.2.
Patch for jcsullins cm-10.1-20130804-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-BLUETOOTH_TEST :
update-cm-tenderloin-20130611-tabletUI.zip to enable tablet UI flash this
restore-cm-tenderloin-20130611.zip to go back to the stock UI flash this
nice ! thanks for this
Although I haven't tested it on the Touchpad, I've tested it on several other tablets running CM10.1 and the Tabletizer app should also work if anyone is interested. However, the other tablets I work on require a special signing key, so when I used it on those tablets I signed the zip manually. I don't know how signing zips works on the Touchpad.\
Anyway, thanks for this and for the future updates, I totally agree about the layout and I think TabletUI is a much better use of space as well.

I tried tabletizer first and it didnt work for me when i ran the app , so i didnt look further to try to make it work (maybe it was just a little thing) because i found the other thread and it worked fine for me.
I tried to run the update patch without any luck.
Update: it worked once I was able to download the complete copy.

quick tip, if you tap the app switcher button it'll bring back the top bar if it was hidden by the app

Hi everyone,
One of the most annoying things i found when i switched to cm10.1 was the new ui layout. i didnt like to lose that space on top when there is enough space on the bottom bar, i didnt like having notifications on one side and quick settings on the other . It was annoying when i wanted to set the brightness of the screen because there is no slider, and in some apps when the top bar is hidden you cannot change brightness without leaving the app. So i used this tool i found here in xda ( auto-patcher thanks to all devs in there!) to create a update.zip that brings tablet UI back!
For those who want to try it, its very easy it only takes one command to build a flashable zip. You have to put the rom in the same folder you extracted the auto-patcher and run this:
Code:
./auto_patcher cm-10.1-20130604-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin.zip tabletUI cm
Anyways I recommend you take a look on the auto-patcher thread if you decide to download it.
And for those that do not want to get their hands dirty ill be posting an update here every week or when there will be some mayor update, so you just have to download and flash it in cwm.
This one is for the 2013-06-04 nightly:
update.zip to enable tablet UI flash this
recover.zip to go back to the stock UI flash this

Thats weird...check in your pc if you can open the zip file...if you can't its because that was a wrong download (its hosted on dropbox so thats possible). Try downloading it again.

Install it as a normal zip, not as a update one . In CWM chose the zip file and install it, but before doing this wipe cache partition and dalvik . Happy Flashing !
yay a proper tablet UI
Anyone else notice that the Battery Percentage setting is broken when using the autopatched status bar? As in, it no longer shows a percentage unless you select Circle w/ Percentage mode... the normal Percentage mode just shows the battery bar with no percent.
I'm running the latest July 23 nightly of CM 10.1. Will this mod still work with that?

OK, for future reference, do NOT flash this mod on newer nightlies. I just tried it on the July 24 build and CM wouldn't boot past the spinning ring screen...

You have to use to AutoPatcher (linked at the beginning of the thread) to create a flashable update for your specific nightly.
Sometimes that can work for multiple versions after, but as soon as the wrong thing changes upstream, you'll have issues.

Let your wallpaper shine beneath material darkness!
I proudly present to you my first system theme, tested on Terminus. As I'm still only getting into things, there may be lots of issues that need fixing. Note that this is almost entirely based on Material.Wallpaper, and other styles based on .Wallpaper that I have created. Please also note that different roms have different strings. If you test it on a rom other than Terminus, it may not work as expected. Also beware that this is in beta.
This is based off of VrTheme (see credits below) and creates its own backup zip automatically under the /data/vrtheme-restore folder. Flash it if you come across an error

Guide to porting this theme to your device/rom
Unfortunately, this zip is incompatible with most other roms other than Terminus for the Nexus 5. If you'd like to share this theme with other devices/roms, you have my permission to do so as long as you give me credits in some form. The following guide will be doable for beginners:
Screenshots for reference
1. Download a program that will allow you to decompile and recompile apps. You may wish to use apktool or multitool, which are as simple as it gets (function wise), with basically a command prompt for you to do your theming. I personally recommend Virtuous Ten Studio, as it is user friendly and easy on the computer. As of making this post, VTS is currently not up to date with the latest apktool, so once you install it, go to the directory ...\Virtuous Ten Studio\External\ApkTool. Download the latest apktool here (as of now it is rc3), and copy it in that folder. For VTS to recognize the new tool, create another text file with the exact same name as the apktool, but replace ".jar" with ".version" (so apktool_2.0.0rc3.jar --> apktool_2.0.0rc3.version). Inside the text file, write a decimal value (like 2.0.0.3) to reflect the version of the apktool. Once that is set, feel free to open up VTS, and maybe take some time to get used to it.
2. Add a framework to your computer. VTS makes this very straightforward. Just download the framework-res.apk from your phone (it's under /system/framework), then press the top left button (file) in VTS and go to settings. Under the Apktool tab, add a single framework, give it whatever tag you want, and select the framework you downloaded. Make sure the framework is from the phone YOU are theming and not that of the Nexus 5.
3. Download the apk's I themed from AndroidFileHost. If it has some weird extension (like .apk.zip), just remove the ".zip" part so it's an actual apk. If you don't see one that is up to date, either take one from an older build or ask me. Most of the time there aren't new updates so older builds are fine. Open them up and decompile them. It might be best for you to add the nexus 5 framework (same process above but using my framework) and decompiling my apps using that, but it shouldn't matter. If you need help on setting it up, please have a look at my outdated tutorial on theming (contains pictures). You generally won't need to change the configurations before decompiling, but if you want to do more you may choose to select "advanced theming" and dive into smali edits. After this, decompile all of your unthemed apk's that you want to theme with your own framework.
4. Compile your projects. This is simply a precautionary step to make sure everything is working and so that you don't waste hours afterwards on something that wasn't set up properly.
5. Now for the "theming" part. VTS has winmerge built into it which you can easily use, and it basically looks for files that are not the same from my project and yours and shows you where the changes are. Your job now is to basically copy over whatever changes I have to your project. This does NOT mean copying every change, but only the ones in regards to theming. Basically any changes in styles, colors, or some images. Common sense is all you need for this. If you know what hex colors are, then you may feel free to change them to your liking as well. Do not copy over any other changes, be it strings, dimensions, or whatever else is in there unless you know what you are doing. Once you feel like you did everything, build and test. I'm not going to go into details on how to make the zips. You may look at other sources for that. There is also the VRTheme method, which you may learn more about here.
6. Once everything is good, you may choose to have a look further and make some more changes yourself. You may have files that I don't have, so it'll be nice to learn to theme. Again, there are many guides elsewhere for this, as well as my outdated site linked above.
7. If everything is working well, I would recommend that you share your work for others. It's always nice to give something back to the community. Just tag me in it for credits; no need to ask for further permissions. That is all. Good luck and have fun!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Rebooting

Yes. As of now I'm still fixing things so I might have multiple versions for each Rom build. Eventually it'll just be one per build. Download the latest one and you'll be fine

Okay, I've themed for about 12 hours today... v5 is up, and now most dark styles (including holo) will show the wallpaper now. Tried contacts and dialer but they didn't work, but hopefully they'll be in the zip soon.
Awesome ! Nice theme
Nice one. Thyrus themed playstore and dialer, youres not, that's for me personal a +. I don't like Themed store and dialer / sms. Well done, i like it.
Working on Rastapop?
I tried all before v5 with no success, i booted and set up then rebooted and installed theme, that's what Thyrus's theme required. Is your install the same?. Downloaded v5, dont want to cleaned flash again for wrong flash procedure. Thanks

You shouldn't need a clean flash. Once your Rom is set up, just flash it over it.

Reboot once system starts f/c launcher f/c aosp keyboard.
Then system reboots into boot loop.

That's weird. Maybe flash thyrus's theme, then reboot, then flash mine. I don't see a difference in that though
Edit: is it by any chance your secondary rom on multi boot? Just tried it and it didn't work there

Dont use multirom.
Stk kernel,
I have used all other themes, odex by Viveek, material blk, cataclysm blk ,Elix theme for xtrasmooth. All on appropriate roms with no issues.
Cant think of a reason if this works for others why its not working. I am a big clear over black fan so def wanted it to work.

Works without isuses with multirom. I use Terminus as second rom and the theme is fine with it
