Better Gingerbread
Here are the tweaks I’m currently running on my Oxygen 2.1.3 ROM by AdamG. I’ve also began a port to ihlades’ Redux 1.2. These are purely visual modifications, but one’s which improve the cohesiveness of the refresh Google did to the UI.
I have put together 2 4 flavours, one with a minimal notification layout based on Rori’s work, with my own touches, and one with the traditional layout and each of these with JazzK’s battery percentage options.
I haven’t tested these with the Oxygen HBOOT, only the CM HBOOT, so I can’t guarantee it will work.
What you get
- Minimal notification layout (optional)
- Smooth sync animations
- Smooth charge and discharge
- Battery percentage option (GB battery with number in middle)
- Gingerbread style notification icons
- Transparent notification shade background
- Green notification overflow underlay
- Green progress bars
- Rectangular pop-up borders
- Smooth spinners
- Transparency to spinners (no more white-to-grey gradient)
- Custom lock-screen background (my previous implementation – change \system\framework\framework-res.apk\drawable-hdpi\lockscreen_bg.png before flashing, or with Ninjamorph)

Can you explain how to install Alternate Batteries with ZipThemer?
Try this.

Can you make a ZipThemer alternate battery that looks like the default Oxygen ones, please?
The one with the number and a vertical battery level strip beside it.
These are default, just use the undo package of the zip themer or reflash the original mod.
Gas
Ok, thanks!
Gonna try this out!
I created flashable file using zipthemer for battery with small numbers. Icons when charging look like some kind squeezed and thin. Normal icons are just fine. Tried to build zip twice but its the same. Could you check it and fix it Gas?
2.1.4 is out, it seems it’s framework changed a little.
Any plans to add this to the new themer in oxygen or update for 2.1.6`?
hi !
Any chance to have this version (+Greened version) for oxygen 2.2 ?
thanks in advance for your work !
will this version work on Oxygen 2.2.2 too? thanks!
ClassicalGas, could you upload minimal/standard layout sources? I compile my own framework.apk, so that sources would be helpfull.
Please, please update this to latest oxygen
