I cannot find a way to have the battery % show itself in the status bar with the odexed 5.0 system. I have at least been able to show the battery percentage in the lockscreen status bar. I've also changed the carrier text to green instead of white simply because it looks cool. As long as you're on LRX210 this should work for you. Just move the SystemUI.apk to system/priv-app and set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot. See below to for screenshots and the apk for download.

It asks me to Enable Root Mode when I try to change the permissions. Do you have any idea why is asking that? And I believe the SystemUI.apk should be put to system/priv-app/SystemUI folder?
Can you please make the carrier text in pink. It will also looks good. For someone, somewhere...

Hey buddy, it worked. I forgot earlier to check a box in settings of my file manager to give root privileges. Is there a chance to show the battery % while the device is NOT in the lock screen only? And also is there a chance to make a white carrier font like it used to be?
This looks really cool, what xml file do you modify to get this, can you tell me how to do this cause I want to start modifying android when I have time

As of right now I cannot figure out how to get the percentage to show when the screen is unlocked....if the SystemUI was not odexed it wouldn't be an issue. I'm not really a developer, I just dabble around in XML's and have read a lot on themeing android system files. Getting the percentage to show while the screen is unlocked is still a project I'm working on. If I get it to work trust me I will be sure to post it!
I believe the XML was keygaurd_status_bar.XML
All I did was change the hex color code for the carrier text from white (FFFFFFFF) to green (FF00FF00). Then in the textview parameter for battery percentage I changed the line android:visibility="gone" to android:visibility="visible "
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda premium
Also I've noticed with this mod if you stick the phone on the charger and take it off the battery percentage in the lock screen disappears....once you reboot its back again. Have no idea how to fix that...

Hello, could you please change the carrier text back into regular white? I would love to use it in that standard design!
Could somebody help me to clarify, after I downloaded the SystemUI.apk it is an .zip but how shall I put the downloaded file into the system/priv-app? As far as I understand this should be an .apk?
It Is an apk file. Use 7-zip or similar software to unzip it..

Hi all,
I know how to change the png's ect, and I know how to decompile the framework and system ui apks, but my problem is this:
The system ui apk only has something like 12 battery icon png's by default, so if I go and add something like 110 percentage battery icons, I will also have to edit some of the code ect to make the system recognise all of the battery images.
But I am not sure which code to edit, and I don't know how to edit it.
Would someone please be able to tell me how I would edit the code, as I know everything else about how to make the percentage battery mod, but I just need to edit the code.
Cheers

You need to decompile systemui.apk, edit 2 xml's (battery charging and one other in /Res/drawable - easiest to just take them from another 1% battery mod), and then add the images to the correct dpi folder. You can also try uot kitchen which will do it for you if you upload your framework-res.apk and systemui.apk. then you can compare the changes it makes to the xmls. Sorry its not more specific, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

Glad you figured it out. The .xml's from another battery mod should be fine.
They are SystemUI.apk/res/drawable/stat_sys_battery.xml and SystemUI.apk/res/drawable/stat_sys_battery_charge.xml (just in case it helps others).
Been getting in to modding my phone. So far I've been able to change the lockscreens and glodots with my own images.
One thing I miss with paranoid android is not being able to change the notification dropdown image.
I have ninjamorph but have no idea what file I have to change and what size the image has to be. 540px 960px ring a bell?
Even if someone could give me a few pointers would be great.
Thanks

Yeah well the way i changed the lock screens. I used someone else's hdpi and xml zip. Changed the png's and edited the XML. Rezipped and ran through zip themer. Worked a treat and I have lots of personalised lock screens. Even if someone could give me a zip that I could play around with?

See that is alot easier then What you want to do. The background is built into the layout folder as a color code and not an image. So you would have to go in and change this in the apk as those tools dont allow editing of that folder.

Well that's an attitude we could all use. Wanting to learn!
I'm not very sure on how to do it, but it should be this .
Get the framework-res (or sysemui..)
Decompile
Find the XML that points the colors or images to something
The line for the background should have something
<drawable name="notification_header_bg">#FF000000</drawable>
So change the color to your drawables.

Ok here are the changes you will need to make.
For the toggles background you will need to change quick_settings.xml in the layout folder
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.SettingsPanelView android:id="@id/settings_panel" android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
For the shade in the notifications you will need to change status_bar_expanded in the same layout folder
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.NotificationPanelView android:id="@id/notification_panel" android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg" androidaddingTop="@dimen/notification_panel_padding_top" android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/notification_panel_margin_left"
Mind you those are for an AOKP rom. Once you decompile the system ui you will be able to see what your rom uses. Once again you can NOT make this change with ninja morph you will have to decompile the apk to see what it is using.
So let me see if I understand this right.
In the XML file in the layout folder I have to change it from a colour code to a .png file that I have made. And as there is no .png file for this I would have to put this file in the drawable folder to tie up with the XML file?

You know, like in MIUI v5? Is there any ziptheme mod, or does anyone know what do I have to edit to have those icons on the left side of the staus bar?
Thanks in advance.
I also REALLY want this. I'm surprised no one has already made this happen, it seems like a no brainer customisation feature.

Great find
I found something similiar, involved editing xml files after decompiling sytemUI, but for an older Android version, so it didn't work. I will decompile his file and check for differences.
I'm currently working on modifying the systemUI.xml of my PA rom which should work on most AOSP roms. I'm trying to adjust icon dimensions to allow for a larger signal strength icon to simulate the new ios7 dot style signal strength icon. Not that relevant... But while I'm there I'll see if I can't make a simple switch sides mod.
Make a paint image or something or find a screen shot of exactly what you want or what side and such. I don't want to forget icons.

Is there a way to remove this horrible and annoying brightness and media volume sliders in the notification pull? I believe without root, there is no chance, but is there any sort of hack for rooted devices? For me, this is a deal breaker, I'm gonna return this annoying piece of software if there is no workaround. Such a waste on such a beautiful device!
It's probably a boolean in the SystemUI.apk. Once I get my Sprint version, I'll check and see if it's possible to remove.
Once the devs have a recovery we should be ok. I know on the optimus G and G pro we were able to remove it from the systemic.apk not sure what files those are lol

The code is either;
1. Removed entirely on Verizon (unlikely).
2. Disabled for verizon (Very likely.)
That said, each APK (Android Package) has a boolean folder. Usually these true or false values determine if the script is active or not. Similar to how you can enable/disable onscreen buttons via build.prop. In fact, the toggles may even be in the build.prop, but I'd like to think it's embedded in the framework-res or SystemUI.
Once I get my Sprint device I'll look around in there.

The volume slider is quite useful when the device is faced down. I could do without the brightness slider though.
