Create Android Battery Icon Sets


What is this ?
This tool started as a "Creator/Renderer" for battery-icon-png's. And this is still the most prominent feature in this tool!
It renders those images with algorithms, that are highly customizable! You can create almost unlimited variations of "battery icon sets"!
It can also render "Wifi- and Signal Icon Sets" in the same way as battery icon sets.

But this tool can do a big bunch of other things!
Most usefull : Of course it can create "flashable-zips" of the above icons!
And there are still more things it can do!!! ...so here is the "complete" feature list:

Basic Features:
  • Easy "all in one frame" Userinterface (you will find out how it works !)
  • lots of highly customizable "Battery Icon Styles" (more to come...ideas always welcome !)
    ... You can change colors, charge-icon, with or without percentage text, fonts, thesholds, gradients...
    ... add your own custom charge-icons...(place your own charge icons in folder ./custom/charge/ ...see samples there)
    ... control the naming, size and output-folder
  • highly customizable "Wifi Icon Styles" (more to come...ideas welcome !)
  • highly customizable "Signal Icon Styles" (more to come...ideas welcome !)
  • Creating of overview.png's (If you want to show of your creations!)
  • Create "flashable-zips"
    ... Creates a backup during flash (Thanks to the "Universal Flasher Tool")
    ... there are "Rom-Presets" for all Roms confirmed to be compatible
    ... lots of different Roms supported (Best chances, if you have an AOKP-Rom)
    ... Custom dpi-support
  • Add "Toggles" to your flashable-zip
    ... predefined toggle-sets (Attention the predefined toggles only work with AOKP roms)
    ... Add your own toggle-sets to folder ./custom/toggles/<setname>
  • Add "Weather Icons" to your flashable-zip
    ... pedifined weather-sets (Attention the predefined weathericons only work with AOKP roms)
    ... Add your own weather-sets to folder ./custom/weather/<setname>
  • Add a custom "Lockrings" to your flashable Zip
    ... lockrings are resized and renamed to fit your Rom's framework-res.apk (Rom-Presets)
    ... predefined lockrings
    ... and you can add your own logrings to folder ./custom/lockhandle/*.png
  • Support for "transparent notification area"

Advanced Features:
With this advanced stuff you can create full themes for your Rom!
Files added to the flashable-zip with these features are not resized, renamed, checked...
So use with caution...you need to know what you are doing! You need to know how your Rom and apk's look from the inside...
  • Add any "icon-set" to SystemUI.apk (use with caution!!! no checks, no resizing, ...)
    ... Add your own icon-sets to ./custom/systemui-mods/<foldername> (see examples there)
  • Add any "icon-set" to framework-res.apk (use with caution!!! no checks, no resizing, ...)
    ... Add your own icon-sets to ./custom/frameworkres-mod/<foldername> (see examples there)
  • Add custom file-sets to your flashable zip
    ... Add your own file-sets to ./custom/XTRAS/<set-name> (see examples in there)
    ... for example add apk's, libs, media files whatever you want to be flashed alongside your icons
    ... (I use this frequently after full wipe installing a new rom...I add some of my own developed Apps to the rom.)
  • Add custom "Themes/Morphs" to your flashable-zip
    ... Add your own icon-sets to ./custom/MORPH/<theme-name> (see examples in there)
    ... theme any apk
  • Add custom "precompiled xml's" to your flashable-zip
    ... Add your own xml-sets to ./custom/MORPH_XML/<set-name> (see predefined examples in there)
    ... Predefined sets to change Battery-charge-Animation can be found here!
