Is there are guide for changing the Battery Meter?

[ReggieTee]

I want to change my battery icon in the notification area. Anyone care to explain how I go about doing this? Thanks!

Beezy where you at! Haha.

Im pretty sure it's the same idea as the how to theme guide by sprintgirl that's stickied (great guide btw) so I'd suggest reading that and get familiar with photoshop or gimp.

As for where the battery is in the rom, I believe it's in the framework file somewhere.

Yeap,igotsanevo4g is correct.To change the battery icon you can study up on the how to theme and that will give you a idea of what you would be doing then open up your fav. rom look inside system for framework file then a apk called framework-res.apk.
This coming from someone that has done it and ksmith has too.Battery has over 100pngs so you can go completely nuts and make it to look how you want.
Sprintgirl did do a great job,all it takes is a little reading and some set up and you could be making custom anything in no time.Give the sticky a read.

If you want the circle with percentage meter (imo the best one I know of, comes with baked snack 1.9)
