How to add % to stock battery (credit to amikam for showing me!)

-mod is located in /system/framework/framework-res.apk....

-you have to decompile it w/ apktool....c:\apktool>apktool d framework-res.apk

-once decompiled, goto apktool\framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi

-battery icons start @ stat_sys_battery_0.png

-copy/replace new icons

-goto apktool\framework-res\res\drawable

-copy new stat_sys_battery.xml, stat_sys_battery_charge.xml & zzz_stat_sys_battery_1.xml
(personally I just use the 6 stock charging icons, and add the 0-100 % icons, then u don't need to replace stat_sys_battery_charge.xml)

-compile new framework-res (apktool b framework-res)
