I would also recommend that files are kept uncompressed (without converting to ZIP files), much easier for non-expert users and people with no 3rd party apps installed.
Creating a dependency or extra steps are usually a show stopper for many people
So sharing plain image files "charge20.png to discharge100.png" so people would easily just copy/download straight into the BatteryIcon directory using Homescreen> Media Folder>Pictures , without the need to open File Manager app and look for the pictures (this is a one step process, try it

The name is UnZipMe Free by QuiteSimple and is very easy to use. Once the app app is downloaded you can easily unzip the file from your BlackBerry device.I would also recommend that files are kept uncompressed (without converting to ZIP files), much easier for non-expert users and people with no 3rd party apps installed.

10-02-12 05:11 AM - 2 things to check for:I can't get this to work either
I've extracted the files to the folder but I get the default icon. My settings are like the screen shot above. Does it work on a Curve 8900? Lol
1- custom homescreen icons are enabled in the battery notifications feature
2- folder and icons must already be there, you just have to OVERWRITE them, not add new icons.
Hope this helpsLast edited by Sultan Al Sooz; 10-02-12 at 07:24 AM.

black with a white outline
Red
Blue
Red, white, and blue
Green to match the Seven Point Five theme10-02-12 02:56 PM - Sure thing!
- a UFC logo
- a beer glass emptying while discharging
- a hand logo showing "fine" (I.e. Showing an "o" with thumb and index), changing to a raised middlefinger when near empty
- a fuel gauge
- a simple battery sign but with cooler colors like yellow to black or blue to black
Will post more when they come to my mind, done for now

Only problem would be that I would be constantly charging as I hate seeing my glass of beer go down !!!10-02-12 03:37 PM - I see. So no more chance to get battery ex new.we all came up with the idea of the battery indicator due to no mobihand meaning no battery ex you see. hopefully will be more used in the future
Good option for those who want a battery indicator.
And this app just gets better and better.10-02-12 03:55 PM - One lil doubt in the original pics the color keeps changing every 20% drop in battery due to different pictures but in all the different icons posted here all the pics are the same when I extracted the folder????ok i will see if i can try and make some (bear in mind i have NEVER made any lmao) and i'm sure Hamster will deffo give it a go she's the pro10-02-12 03:58 PM
- All efforts are greatly appreciated!!!Oh boy! And I mean oh boy..LOL
Let's see what I can come up with
Skyline I can for sure do in other colors...
And different battery looking ones...
Keep in mind guys, these are awfully small images, and not everything will look right or even show up well....
I will do what I can10-02-12 03:58 PM
