How can I add battery percentage to my status bar? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'd like to be able to add some sort of battery percentage to my status bar that flows with the ICS theming (I have a Droid Pro running a CM9 port).
Does anyone have any advice?

I've read that, but I'm not quite sure what I need to go to get it going. Can I just download a Cyanogen them and upload that APK? Is that all that's required?

No, for cm you have to upload a theme apk. So an example would be cyanbread. You would upload one of those themes.

[MOD]JL1 Stock Blue Status Bar, Pulldown Menu, and Battery

So, I'm currently running JL1 Nero Rom, but didn't really like the stock green look. This is simply a morph that changes all the green back to the stock blue look. I also didn't really like the green verticle battery, so I threw in the stock blue battery also.
I've only tested this on Nero, but I'm sure this should work on any 2.2 Roms. (If you currently have an accurate battery, this blue stock battery will not apply correctly.)
I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone.
To apply:
Download file
Open Metamorph
Apply Theme
The framework-res changes the Status Bar to stock blue and the battery
The twframework-res changes the Notification Pulldown Menu.
Thanks. Enjoy!

I can confirm the status bar stuff worked on JK2 but not the pull down itself which sucks because I really liked it.

I wouldn't call it much of a theme. Just changed colors of pre existing icons.
I realized that I missed a .png file in the downloading icons. One of the frames is still green.

[THEME]m9 with a touch of miui \einherjar dev/

this theme has taken a decent about of time to put together. my own little project.
mix of miui images and images for the meizu m9 roms.
this can be flashed over most jl5 builds as i included most everything to get it working. also includes a font change.
will post some screenshots later
work in progress will get better and mature and will go in a completely different direction that m10. this mainly for that rom for people who want accurate battery mods and such. but yeah. any questions ask. i feel like im rambling. probably will update this daily as im never not changing things. suggestions will help it mature out of alpha faster as i dont notice everything
credits go to:
whitehawks for the multi lockscreens and power off options menu
untermench for the guide and too much to name
jellette for getting most of the images together and starting the main project
bergertime cause he is tight as ****
sonnysekhon for some pngs i use from his lucid theme
sombionix and teamwhisky for services.jar and policy.jar files that i used.

You don't have to flash if you don't want to lol or if you don't want things you can take them out of the zip before you flash

the notification bar IS transparent. the thing is that with not stock launchers (ambient time, launcherpro, adw...etc) they use the status bar app background png, which is solid black. unless u use a live wallpaper. i cant do anything about that yet cause it makes the status bar invisible in other appps
Awesome theme, thanks much!
i have another question can u flash over a battery mod that im already using or would this be a problem

Battery percentage mod

Without having to flash a whole theme.. anyway to just get battery percentage mod on CM7?
I use "battery notifier" its only 55kb in size and requires no permissions, it gives u a little battery icon in notifications and u have the option to place the percent on that little icon I dont think you will be able to mod the actual icon or do much to to the status bar without a flash

Yeah actually i have the same thing, but i hate wasting a spot in the notification bar when there's already a battery gauge available.

Doesn't seem like cm7 is supported for any of those. But I found a mod that works from the general android theme section.

I already removed the 'theme manager' and all that business. There really isn't any flashable zip like the bar battery floating around? I have it set to always show on my lock screen, but locking and unlocking to see my battery percentage is getting old.... :-/
I figured it would be included in cmparts, but it wasn't. Was there a reason for that?

Really? That's very interesting...it's such a simple improvement. Who wouldn't want to know their battery percentage over just a shaded battery icon? It's practically useless. I can't tell the difference between 50 percent and 30 percent...it looks the same! lol

I'm with you there. I'm not much of a 'theme' guy. If I want something changed, I'll change it..but I'm not one to change everything just so I can have the battery percentage. I had it on the stock mysense rom, so I'll just wait for it to show up in cm7. ....sigh.....one can only hope....

[Q] [REQUEST]Can Someone Port the Smooth Sense Battery % Icon?

Can someone port the Smooth Sense Battery % Icon with the white battery text to the Tbolt??
Gotta get root first. Then a working clockwork recovery will come next before you'll see any mods. Its coming though. Thankfully this phone has a huge developers base.
Sent from my Droid using XDA Premium App
I was looking for the same. Since we are waiting on root/recovery, I used BatteryTime lite. Puts a little battery percentage in the status bar.
Got Root now let's see the Smooth Sense Icons!
anyone? bueller?
can you link me to the battery you're talking about?
I'm looking at the framework for the basic debloaded ROM and it doesn't have the 137ish images for the battery icon, it's back to only having 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%, so I don't know how the smooth battery mods would work.
the circle battery works just fine, it definitely has all the required pictures...

You can try the circle battery I uploaded to page 2 of this thread and see if it's what you want.

Those mods look awesome! Can we get those ported as well?
I know that this battery is in "The Perfect Storm" rom. I'd ask the dev if he can export just those files as a .zip

Here is the ROM thread.
Bump...can anyone port the notification icons? I'd forever be in your debt!

[Q] Circle Battery

Does anyone know if its possible to get the circle battery mod (circle with percentage in the notification bar) on our GSIIs? Already missing that from my Captivate.
I'm not sure on the mod, I was hoping for the same kind of thing coming from my rooted captivate. However, if you download an app on the marketplace called "Battery Solo Widget," it allows you to have a widget on your desktop showing what you are looking for. That's what I'm using for now.

It's possible. You just need root and you can change it yourself (by modifying the framework-res apk and replacing the existing one with root explorer, or the like) if you have the icons (or with UOT - you'll need CWM for this method obviously).

You can also use battery circle app. That will give you the percent in the status bar.

SIMI clock is a good clock widget that also has a circle battery icon built in. it's also free.

Thanks. Downloaded it and am happy with Battery Circle. I wish I could use it to replace the crappy one that comes stock.
I used it before I did a custom ROM.

If you still have the apk file on your captivated, you can copy it over and it works great. It was 1 of the first things I installed.
