Hi,
I am looking to get my battery percentage showing in the status bar, instead of the normal battery icon. I do not want to use a widget for this, because you can only see that on the home screen - the status bar is viewable even when you are in an app. Typically this involves editing framework-res.apk which is possible now that we have root. If someone can help me out with this I would give them many thanks!

i have noticed that the Am/Pm bar on the top of the screen starts to burn in, it would be great if somebody could make an app that would move the Am/Pm bar around so everybody's burn in's dont get any worse
I believe changing fonts every now and then could take care of it. I know it's not whast you asked for, I guess it would just act as a bandaid for now.
LauncherPro lets you hide the statusbar on the homescreen.

Zeam let's you do this as well and it's what I recently started doing. Another option might be to use a 24 hour clock. Not sure how much that would really help though.
If they have a way to black out the battery how come theres no way to get rid of the clock or black it out I dont use it anyway
egc-r2+voodoo jl4+jl4 modem
devs for the verizon fascinate found a way to remove the am/pm from the notification bar. probably the main reason they removed it on the nexusS lol we could look into how they removed it.

im using the 24 hour clock now so it doesn't get worse but i think that will be a temporary solution
would love a way to get rid of the am/pm, in the notification bar.

Murse thanks for the suggestion! I went and downloaded Zeam from the market and it's an excellent launcher which also allows you to hide status bar! And it's free, no ads! Thanks again buddy!
edit: Ok Zeam only removes the status bar from the home screen. Open the browser or any app and the status bar reappears so not useful for hiding status bar. Also live wallpapers freeze intermittently while running Zeam. Is a good launcher despite those shortcomings.
Removing status bar entirely will probably require a different rom, not an apk.

Do you have a link to something pointing to where they changed it. I am working on a mod that will allow you to change the color (like in cyanogen mod) and even hide time and/or am/pm.

Yes. I am working on a mod (for Nero3) that takes the "settings" features from cyanogenmod, so you can show/hide the time, show/hide am/pm and change the color.
I have the code in place in the services.jar, and let me tell you, that is no easy task... and I think it is "sort of" working. when I flash the modded services jar, I have no time, but i also dont have the signal strength, and battery. which is also part of the CM stuff.
I started creating a "custom" spareparts app, that is based on the CM one (it only has the time / status bar stuff). but currently i have been unable to get it to display the time or any of the other status icons.
I am not sure yet what the problem is. It could be because it is not signed as a system app, or it could be that I am missing something in the services.jar.
Which is the best app to use for displaying a battery percentage icon on the status bar for non rooted STOCK Samsung ROM .?
Please advice the one which is most accurate ....
This is exactly what you're looking for, buddy

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8639993
this is the best one available, ive been using this since last year and it's never failed me.
I want the battery icon itself to be replaced by a percentage icon or something , not a separate icon ...
How is that possible .?

I don't think it is unless you flash a theme. I used to use jkays theme a lot. You can find the thread in the themes section.
Hey, you said non-rooted stock rom. So I gave the only available possibility; using an app that shows an extra icon.
If you want to replace icons, you'll need root and flash a theme!
Hi, first of all I don't know if this goes in q&a or theme/apps, but here goes:
attached are two screenshots of my current setup. Obviously I'm going with a very stock KitKat theme.
I would like to have a flashlight widget that sort of fits into the theme of this. Semi transparent like the google search bar or something. I know I can use uccw but wondered if anyone knew of a standalone app/widget.
Would also like some sort of battery indicator since I don't like it in the status bar. Maybe something like a simple line across my screen? also following the theme ideally. Don't care to know exact percentage so it doesn't have to have the number with it. jusy something easier to read than my status bar.
I'll also share how I am set up if anyone is interested.
Thank you!

Might try Team Battery Bar for your battery indicator. Download from Play Store. Not sure on the torch widget.

Hey everyone!
Can anyone help me remove this battery icon in the status bar/notification header? (See attached image) it's pointless being there if you using gravity box battery icons instead.
That one you can't really get rid of. The best you can do is go into settings - personalization - status bar icons, and untick the battery. This will remove stock battery icon when notification drawer IS not pulled down so you can only see GravityBox icon.
Hope that helps

Same here.
Anyone please help.
I m using Flat Style Bar Indicator module, it allows to change the icon for battery and the changed icon appear in the expanded panel. May be u can try that.
U can see the ss below
hi guys. i tried it with Gravitybox but 5 second after it remove, it appears again. what should i do? any app or systemui modifimodification ?
Settings>Battery>Scroll down too "Percentage on status bar" move slide to disable
i think you don't have eyes to read the title
U Want to remove %. Thats the way u do it.
but.. nice insult.
r u kidding? it remove battery percentage not percent symbol
Ok my bad kid.
What version of Android are you running and do you have/ do you want to have Xposed installed?
official 6.0.1. xposed v80 by wanam is installed
That's a good start then chap. I'm sure there's a module called flat bar icons, or something like that, that allows you to change all the icons on the notification bar, I used to have it but never delved to deep into it. I think that allows you to lose the percentage sign.
yes flat style bar indicator is a good app tnx.
No worries man, hope it solves your dilema
this app is great. but still there is one thing that annoying me. stock statusbar icons' color automatically change from white to black when statusbar become white, but flat style don't have this feature.
so i'm looking for solution. also i'm thinking about editing systemui to remove percent sign and adding other feature to statusbar. Do you know any post or threat to helps me about it?
