Battery Icon: How to Replace (5 versions)

**Malatesta** · #1 (**permalink**) 08-28-2006, 10:28 PM

Got this shamelessly from XDA Forums (that place rocks btw) from Jimm98y:

DOES NOT WORK ON THE TREO 700w/wx!

Basically, this will replace your Battery meter with a different one. I'm using the 6th version (page #2) which is much more informative than the "default" icon, but I'm posting all five here.

It works for me but USE AT OWN RISK (do a backup jik!)

Instructions:
1) install SdkCerts.cab
2) install greenbatteryfix.cab
3) softreset

Version #1

Version #2

Version #3

NEW! Version #4 (best one, imo)

(Version #4 Posted down this page!)

yeah, they're definitely not perfect (e.g. tiny numbers) but it's a nice change-up.

Man, now what do I do with my clock?

The battery is nice I am going to use it.

This sure looks nice, especially version #3. I'll give it a shot at my Own Risk.

Thanks Malatesta.

so check it: Althought I liked #3 a lot I thought the numbers were a bit too small so I wrote the guy who made them and asked for a change, which is now reflected in version #4 posted here!

I've been waiting for something like this for a long time as I always found the battery icon pretty useless. I can make sense of a number!

Awesome!

They're a lot bigger...very legible now.

re: Call history. I don't think so. I mean, I don't use my call history that often so I haven't really memorized all the details but it looks the same and all the info is there...

What exactly changed?
