Is there a way to get a percentage number along with the battery icon?
There is a free widget available in the market which does exactly what u assked for.
Just search for "battery percentage"
Sorry, I wasn't clear, I want it up where the current battery icon is, not a widget.
I use battery indicator, it's free from the market and though it doen't show the percentage on top of the battery icon, it shows it to the left of the notification bar so it's always there no matter in what screen you are and occupies no desktop space.
Also, it shows some very useful, very well integrated info in the notification area when you pull it down including how long it's been unplugged, bettery health, temp and voltage.
In case it was any concern, it hasn't affected my battery life at all (i can still get about 3 days on mid-light use)
Hope u like it!!
Use the battery monitor already built in that goes into the notification bar.
Then bring the bar down and the percentage is there.
i've been trying out quite a bunch of modded roms for the past week, and I think I came accross one which indeed had percentage written in the small green battery icon at the top-right corner next to the time. Maybe try out the r1 cyanogen port from modaco.
Most modded roms use some kind of ugly donut icon, which isn't more precise than the stock battery looking icon.
However, i'm not actually sure if having percentage written in the icon changes much : i suppose there must be an equal number of pictures, whatever battery indicator design you choose.

Yep, I tried but could not see the percentage..?
I searched and didn't find anything about this. I've noticed the battery icon in the notification bar is pretty inaccurate, is there a way to have the actual percent displayed over it? Like in CM.
I'd post a pic, but the forum won't let me cause I'm a noob...
Pretty sure the stock battery icon can't be modified/removed. However BatteryIndicator will show another battery icon in the top left corner with the percentage remaining inside of it.
+1 for this

If by inaccurate you mean it shows 50% left on the indicator and less than 25% actual left, then you sir are correct.
I like battery status by Android Apps myself.
Anyone know about a better battery indicator that shows percentage instead of colours?

Battery Indicator Pro. Worth the money for me.
I donloaded the lite version and it seems to work ok.
Only it comes up in addition to the original one only in the other corner.
Does the pro take over the original?
Bat Stat simple widget on home screen that does fantastic job.
I loved the Bat stat widget. !
Does anyone's widget display the right percentage?
When my tab is fully charged widgets show 86%... I've used a few too.
Usually the little battery icon in the status bar is indicating a higher battery level than what the widgets are reporting to me... Anyone else getting the same?
Do #*0228# . It will show actual data from system. Mine shows exactly the same.

Try "Free Power Widget" by BK Mobility, which you can find in Android Market. It's cool and shows the battery percentage in a nice widget.
I use the switch pro widget which has all the switches you need plus a % battery indicator, all in dark grey and really unobtrusive.
Try typoclock, clockr and battstatt. Awesome on the tab!
Hi guys,
is there any way to get the nice battery mod from samsung galaxys into the samsung galaxy tab ?

Youll have to wait for devs to start tinkering before you can change/mod the current battery icon. 3rd party apps will have to do for now.
So again...what about chaning the battery icon???

im sorry if this is in the wrong section pls move it.
would it be possible to make the battery icon in the notification bar show 1% increments?
i know there are a few apps out there that can do this(im using battery monitor widget) but i would like to just have it on the notification bar without having to use an app.
If u do a search you'll find out that out that it s not possible.
Limited by hardware
I think there is an app/widget out there that estimates the battery percentage from the voltage (i.e. 3400 mV = xx%), someone would have to hack it at the android OS level to get that same estimation in the battery indicator

what isnt possible? 1% increments or to place it in the status bar?
i've found three apps that can do this but they do not replace the stock battery icon(this is what i want to intergrate it with the stock battery icon)
ive found 3 apps will show 1% but i dont want to have to install a seperate app.
circle battery widget will do this too.

then is there a way to make the stock battery icon show numbers even in 10% increments?
Is there any mod to get the battery percentage with the icon? I searched the forum here but the only mods I found were for other phones, so they wouldn't work...right? It's not a BIG thing, but would be nice to have it. Thanks.
go to settings>cm stettings>interface>status bar tweaks and set battery status style to percentage. you may have to cycle between icon and percentage a couple of times to get numbers with a little battery strip.
Otherwise break out your rom install zip, pull out the framework.apk and systemui.apk files and have fun in uot android kitchen.
Thanks PaulMilbank. I did that and even though it's really easy to use UOT kitchen, I thought I'd post it here in case someone else wants it also. In the attachment is the default android battery meter with the percentage written in the middle.
In my experience I noticed there were some "blind spots", where the percentage doesn't show, namely at 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. I don't know why this happens or if it will happen to you. Anyways, you can always make your own mod "in the kitchen". Enjoy .
