I have a Defy+ running stock UK retail 2.3.4. I'd like to get the battery icon in the status bar showing 1% increments, like my Defy running MS2Ginger 2.1 does. Does anyone know how this can be done without running a custom ROM? I want to keep the phone as close to stock as possible for the moment.
I know I'll also need a theme which displays 1% increments in the battery icon. That's already sorted thanks to the UOT Kitchen.
TIA
[Note: I don't want an app which puts another icon on the status bar!]

without rooting or installing an app i dont think it is possible coz what u are asking is editing system file .. which cant be done other wise ..
The phone is rooted. I don't mind installing an app, but I don't want to end up with another battery icon - the one in the normal place in the status bar is all I need!

Hi all
i got a SGS captivate from rogers on froyo 2.2 rooted
and i was thinking about to change my battery icon in the right corner for a percentage level
but i didnt find any app or way to change the stock icon
so any of you know how can i make this?
help will apreciate!
I need the same, saw it in the speedmod tutorial and couldnt find it :S
BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!
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?
Hi, Im using this rom http:// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194955. The only two things that i need that is missing is the Recent Apps(Notification pulldown bar) and battery percentage.
I've tried using the one in the stickied post but still not seeing any %. I would modify the framework-res.apk, but do not know how to do it.
Anyone can help me find or modify the apk(attached), and also the recent apps thing.
Thanks Alot.
*ps need CWM update if possible.
The recent apps notification pulldown should be there since its a sense build.Maybe u should try installing the build again or wait for an update. For the battery percentage framework however, it differs from every build and a new one has to be made for every version. So, even if you do know how to modify the framework, you will have to do it everytime an update comes around. Anyway, i know of a member who knows how to modify the framework for the battery percentage(esp the circular one). You might wanna try asking him (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1230404). Hope this helps!

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 .
