Update: Does not seem to work. Only reports the battery in increments of 10%.
I have created a framework-res apk that changes the stock battery in the notification bar to one with a percent symbol in it. The percentage is suppose to be accurate to 1%. Example: it will read 100% then 99% 89% etc. I pushed the apk to my phone several times and everything is working. However my battery is fully charged and therefore I cannot verify that it display battery percent in increments of 1. Is it possible for someone with a battery that is not fully charged to test the apk and see if indeed it works?
This works with the stock rom only. Doesn't work with adeo.
Btw I am using a deodexed framework as a base.
Instructions:
Just replace the original framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ with the one I have created.

Since we have the atrix deodoxed we should be able to edit the framework. I really miss the icon percentage for the battery. Any good artists working on that yet?

There's a quirk with Motorola phones where the system only shows battery percentages in 10% increments, so for now...no.
The only workaround thus far is this:

Sad to hear.. but even a 10% change step view is better than non. Just take the "unnecessary" single steps images out?

there's a way to make it read in incriments of 1%.. DG did it.. I believe you need to edit framework-res and add some new xmls that include each step from 1%-100% :T
if you need help with that.. you can try searching for circle battery mod in xda.. and download it.. and look at what's inside the zip and see where you need to put the new .png's and what to write in the xmls.

Hey, sweet! My post got quoted in another topic I feel like a celebrity
Summary
Like many, I am not really into theming much but do enjoy some functional modifications. There have been a few requests for the carrier text to be removed form the notification bar and also for the 1% battery modification for GladiAtrix.
I did not create either of these modifications myself but I did end up creating them against a non-themed GladiAtrix3 and did package them up together.
The 1% battery mod DOES NOT include icons - it simply provides the system with 1% increments battery info. Credit for this should go to bl0wf1sh - I mimicked his mods for the standard services.jar.
The carrier delete removes the carrier ID text from the notification bar AND includes the battery modification as well. Credit for this should go to Greg11784 - I only took his hard work and repackaged it with the battery modification. If you only want the carrier delete alone, check out Greg11784's thread.
Prerequisites:
AT&T 1.83 rooted
Deodexed system (or GladiAtrix3)
CWM mod
Downloads:
The 1% Battery Modification: BatteryMod83.zip
The Carrier Text Delete and 1% Battery Modification: NoCarrierLogoBatteryMod83.zip
Package to return the files to standard: ReturnGladiAtrix83.zip
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility if you mess up your phone while doing this.
So this is exactly like mine except without reboot, battery icons, or animations?
Cool.

Yeah, I think so - I was looking for a really plain version with only the battery info (for my live wallpaper) - also I don't yet know how to do the power menu options etc.

Cool, mines basically the 1% deodexed zip with a few mods.

Some people like me really dislike the fly in animations though...so this one would be great for those who don't want theme.
Does anyone know why after installing just the Battery % my clock on the status bar is gone? i used GaldiAtrix 3 beta 2 and honeycomb theme
People are always posting in the ROM threads wondering if a 1% battery mod is possible. I, personally, dont understand why it seems to be harder to accomplish on ICS and JB than Gingerbread. But I have come across some alternatives for those who need 1% increments.
First, there is Minimalistic Text. This allows you to put a widget on your home screen showing 1% increments of the battery. Just create a battery level widget and you're done. (see attached screenshot)
Second, there is a newer app called Battery Widget Reborn Beta. Along with adding a widget to your home screen, this app will allow you to have a constant, customizable notification (see attached screenshot). What is interesting about this app is that it has a "motorola 1% hack" in the settings that makes this possible for us. Which leads me to a question/theory.
If this app is using a 1% hack specified for motorola devices, is it possible for some smart dev to look at how this app is doing this and maybe make a mod based on it to give us a built in 1% hack? Just thought I would bring that up. Other than than that, the other two apps are working great for me.
You're right on with the Minimalistic Text. I used it and it works just fine.

I actually just started using the Battery Widget Reborn and find it really cool. I removed my Minimalistic Text widget and I'm going to try this one out for a bit. I also just removed the battery icon all together since this puts a notification in the status bar.
Awesome. Thanks for this.
The app Battery Indicator uses a Motorola hack to get 1% battery increments working, but it doesn't override the Android battery icon.
Been using it for a while and I don't mind the extra notification, so some people might like it.

That app seems to be similar to Battery Widget Reborn. I think its weird these apps use a "Motorola Hack." Whats with Motorola that doesnt allow 1% increments. And why is it so hard to get this built in?
As stated in the title
My battery indicator doesn't tally with the actual battery percentage. however, when i open up the battery mod's .zip, the correct image is given to every stat_sys_battery_XX.png, so it would seem that the battery isn't incrementing/decrementing in steps of 1%? The screenshot is attached below.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Reset battery stats first .

thats cause you just flashed the battery mod on a stock SystemUI.apk
you need a modded SystemUI.apk with stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge modified to make 1% increments work.
flash the modded apk then flash the battery mod.
Hi,
First off I apologize if this question has already been asked, but so far no amount of searching has returned what I'm looking for.
I use a few battery meter apps and widgets (droid RAZR M circle widget, anyone?) that rely on the battery level given by the "battery usage" window, which means that they all display the battery level in increments of 5%. I would much rather have the battery level broadcast in increments of 1%, as I know there are a few apps that can display 1% changes on the RAZR. Is there any way to have the battery level broadcast system wide in increments of 1%?
I am running stock 4.1.2 unrooted.

There is a battery mod for 1% , but you need root and a custom recovery for that.

If u don't want root, get battery widget reborn from playstore, shows battery percent in status bar
Tapped from my RazR
There is another way to do this - but this assuems a deodexed stock rom and some knowledge about aoktool. Just decompile the SystemUI.apk (don't forget to install sourcefiles from framework-res.apk), got to /res/xml/ and find the battery indicator files. The do the same (decompile) with a SystemUI.apk from any CM or AOSP rom. Open the same files and copy&paste the whole content into your original file. Now you need to copy&paste the picture files (only the battery icon files which are showing the percentage in 1%-steps into the right folder (should be somewhere in hdpi...). In the original file there are less pictures only whosing 10%-steps, overwrite them with the new files.
Now recompile your modifed SystemUI.apk, open that one with any archive manager and also open the ORIGINAL apk file with the archive manager. Copy&paste the META-INF folder and the Android_manifest.xml into your modified apk file and close it (You have to perfrom these steps because you're playing with a system apk, and it will loose its signature if you bypass these last steps, which will result in bootloops or any other issues).
Now you can flash or copy7insert the file, don't forget the permissions and you're good to go with it
