[MOD] Fightspit's Super Circle Battery indicator

This mod for the battery indicator in the top status bar (created by "Fightspit") is just what I've been looking for. Thanks to "designgears" for making this work on the Captivate.

That is by far the best solution for a task bar battery gauge I have ever seen. I want it. I would replace my widget in a heartbeat for that...
Nice find. Now lets see how we make it work!
EDIT: Looks like Fightspit has done a lot to make this ready for those willing to adopt it. The process for making this work on the Captivate appears to be up to our community.

Gah we need more developers for captivate that is one awesome battery mod.

that's sweet! I am on it guys!

This would be much better than having to take up home screen space with a widget that shows percentage. Plus, the stock indicator for the Captivate always shows way more battery level than is actually available.
I would glady donate to anyone that gets this working on the Captivate.

What do you guys think?
This is just to make sure a modded framework-res.apk would work, I just replaced the few battery images it uses. I will have to compile the xml file to do all of the percents.

You rock...This is perfect...Should have been that way from the factory...Looking forward to the release...

I tried to create the mod but even though the new battery indicator is working, I am getting non-stop FC's. These are the steps I tried:
1. Decompile stock framework-res.apk using apktool v1.3.1.
2. Replaced res\drawable\stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml with the ones from Fightspit.
3. Copied all of the stat_sys_battery* to res\drawable-hdpi.
4. Recompiled using apktool.
5. Signed apk.
6. Copied to SD and then used Root Explorer to overwrite existing file.
7. Rebooted.
If someone gets this to work, I would be curious to know what steps were taken.

Hey guys, just an update, I will have this out in about 10-20min (i hope)

I am going to try it now. Thanks man.

Go Launcher HD for Tablets v1.0 Beta

I just stumbled across this today and so far I really like it. I was using the Trebuchet launcher on Thor's ICS v96, and although it does have a lot of customization it is slightly laggy. So far Go Launcher HD is running super smooth with no noticeable lag.

Looks really pretty. Let's go test it.
Thanks for notice.
Can you tell me, what is name of your weather widget?

It appears there is very minimal options available (It is a BETA, I will forgive them)
Themeing is not a option, yet.. Maybe keep an eye out.
I like the new dock, but they need to use more of the screen for available widgets, utilizing ALL of the screen.
I can compare say, Stock Launcher, to GoLauncher Ex, where the margins on the side are smaller, giving more space, maybe I am insane. At this stage, I have set up something, but I am not a huge fan and will go back to GoLauncherEX until they sort out the theme issue and give us more options. Hopefully they can implement all those of the normal EX and maybe some more? EG, making wallpapers work better (most of us are faced to use Multipicture Live to correct incorrect showing wallpaper)
in short, it is good, but not great.. yet. Hopefully with updates, this is fixed

It's only a beta but so far so good. I'm sure themes will be an option down the line, and I agree that the top and bottom margins are way too big.

Really like it can't wait to see what happens next really sleek and fast launcher compared to the phone ver. On tablets...

I gave this a shot - though I have little patience for beta testing. I hate the dock and since there are basically no settings to speak of, I'll wait till they have a final release.

[Bootanimation] Custom Carbon ROM Thundercats style bootanimation

Hello XDA community (hoping that I am posting in the right area. if not, please let me know),
I've been messing around with creating my own bootanimations in my spare time, purely for fun. I'm currently running the latest Carbon ROM nightlies on my Nexus 5, so I figured I'd make some based on Carbon's logo. The first one I'd like to share with anyone who's interested, is Thundercats-style [cel animated].
It starts off with a few frames using the Google logo so that it would seem like a seamless transition from the splash screen (I only guesstimated the placement and size of the logo + unlocked icon). It's pink/fuchsia on black just because I like to use that color combo in alot of my custom theming, so if that's not really your flavor, I could possibly take requests for a color variation.
This one is fairly simple, but I intend to work on a much more involved one with a custom typeface/logotype which would resemble the original 80s cartoon more.

This is by far the best bootanimation I've seen... testing it now
Kinda feels like AOKP, it will be awesome if it was redish orange like the thunder cats logo

You're right, it does sorta feel like AOKP.
I've made a red version as requested and also added a white one as well in the OP.
Did it work ok on your device?

Thanks! I actually had an idea for SlimKat in mind when I started this thing, but it would be a bit different from what we've got here so far. I'll see what I can do with it for you in this style though.

Yes please, a SlimKat version would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Excellent animation, i prefer the mashup, why don't post it in Team Carbon Community on Google Plus ?

just a quick one, since im new to android platform, this bootanimation would work on any ROM right? I'm on AOKP ROM.
thanks
EDIT: Nevermind. Figured it out.

LOVE IT !!! Could you make one for Purity ROM ?

Nice theme! Really loving it. Maybe you could work on Dirty Unicorn Bootanimation too with the same design like that? On different logo

hey everyone, sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread. Seems like I should maybe just make one of these for each of the more popular ROMs out there + stock android
I'll definitely give it a go once I find some free time (most likely after tax day lol)

[Bootanimation] My Custom SlimKat Bootanimations - Round 01

NOTE: this is a crosspost from a thread I just made over in Android/Themes, but a question was brought up and I realized that maybe there are more considerations to be taken in terms of specs, specific devices, etc if posting in a forum that's not specific to one device. I'm still a n00b on xda, so please let me know if crossposting is not allowed, and if you know anything about the issues already brought up by a CM user over on that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/bootanimation-custom-slimkat-t2819693
Anyway, figured since I made this for my N5, i'll come back and create a thread for it for fellow N5 SlimKat users. Enjoy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello XDA,
After my first attempt at a custom bootanimation was fairly well received (Custom CarbonROM Thundercats style), I decided to try a variation on the existing SlimKat bootanimation since I've swtiched over to Slim and haven't looked back.
BTW I still intend to do a Thundercats variation for SlimKat, since it only seems so fitting (cats and all). But for now, I cooked up something that just jazzes up the official one a bit. I've made them in the original Slim blue hue, as well as a pink one because my phone is themed to be black, neutrals and neon pink, so it's my preferred version for myself.
Previews (the GIF compressions take away from some of the finer details, don't let it dissuade you from giving it a shot)
**V3: made it look more seamless between the google splash screen to bootanimation. also tried to clean up some weird artifacting and got the filesize way down

The images look nice and clean. Everything seems well thought-out. The transparent, multi-textured band running over the text on the loop section is interesting....
What the heck is that thing?!
One issue that I see (maybe) is the desc.txt file; I'd normally expect permissions of 644 (rw,r,r). As extracted, I'm seeing 755 (rwx,rx,rx). It probably doesn't make any difference though.
The only other issue is putting "KAT" in the logo. "L" (Licorice? Lima-bean? Lollipop?) is right around the corner. Calling it "SlimROM" might be better long term. Maybe not
Keep up the awesome work. I'm looking forward to seeing more stuff from you.

Looks great. Awesome job!

Well done, looks really good.

We knew LG is going to release it before end of the year, but as we can see work on the update is in advanced state already.
Screenshot shows that interface isn't going to be changed dramatically. IMO that's a good thing.

If they were going to release a rom before the end of 2014 (less than 2 months away) they were always going to have the rom in a near complete state by the middle of this month at the latest.

Mixture of lg's ui and lollipop's ui...
It is awkward

I have a feeling it's going to be a horrible mess of elements.

I doubt about "a few".... 2 or 9 . Anyway, this is a good new.

Oh man. That quick settings panel looks horrible. I hope the finished product doesn't carry those Optimus UI elements.

Jesus, that's terrible looking.

Please dont use this disgusting color in lollipop
It is not appropriate color for lollipop

Why the softkey doesn't change ?

It's not final.
I don't know why are you telling it looks horrible. G3 UI is flat and fits material design. Notifications look same as on N5 + quick settings. Nothing horrible here imo...

There are already Lollipop KDZs for the F400 variants out there now! You gotta pay for them on this site but Im sure they will surface "other" places very soon
http://www.lgbbs.net/forum-65-1.html

Honestly I wished LG would provide us a more "vanilla" look... Apart from the introduction screen and notification panel not much seem to have change graphically :/
Just hoping it's not the final look

I just wish they would forget about updating to Lollipop and concentrate all of their available resources on properly optimising what we already have.

Oh god i am so hyped.
