Is there a setting for this somewhere, rather than downloading some app that isn't compatible?

if you want to know the exact battery percentage go to Settings > Battery
you can always download a handy widget to display the exact battery percentage on your homescreen
Get the app called "Circle Battery Widget"
By Cedrick Depoorte
I find it useful because it has quick links to things like battery voltage and the battery use page when you press it.
I'm wondering why when I was on the stock rom, with the DPI hack at 160 or 170 DPI, [I forget which one, but the Play Store only worked correctly at a "standard" DPI, which is 160] I had the tablet UI, and when I swiped it up, it showed me the battery percentage.
But now I'm on a CM10 [paranoidAndroid] rom, and now it's not there.. what happened to it? I couldn't find any settings for it either.

Anyone have any good battery icons for cm7? I've been looking and haven't seen anything yet.
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
There are paid apps in the market (like Smart Battery). I believe Battery Left can change the icon and themes as well (not sure on this). I just change the setting to show the percentage icon (under CM7 settings -> interface -> status bar tweaks). That's what matters to me the most.
Gotcha.
Thanks for the input!

So using Google Now to ask for the weather gives back the temperature in Fahrenheit. Anyway to change it to Celsius?

change weather units in the temperature card settings
Where is this temperature card settings you speak of?
Edit: Never mind, found it. At Google now main page, settings button bottom right, navigate to weather settings.
This also changes the weather temp for the regular Google voice search as well (which is really what I was looking to do in the first place).

It's under Settings, Google Now, Weather.
Also on the card itself, at the top right.

Hey everyone,
Was wondering if anyone had tested various DPI settings and have a list of working ones?
Gui on this phone is way to large.

I've tried several: 280, 300, 320, 360, 400 & 420...all worked fine but you'd see issues in certain apps, and certain apps would jump into tablet mode (pretty sure that was on the lower ones, of course).
I stuck on 420 since it still shrinks things considerably down from the stock 480 but most apps don't have overlapping or other issues. The only app I've noticed an issue is the dialer, but not the phone on inbound or ongoing calls, just when you are dialing the number. You can still see the numbers and hit each with no problem, it's just shrunk up a little strangely. Other than that I'm loving 420 (no pun intended ). :good:
Awesome. What are you using to change dpi? On my note 2 with exposed you were able to choose dpi per application, anyone know if the module is working for that?
Can't remember the name of the mod.

Found it.
In downloads, app settings. If you use this you can modify only apps you want so you don't have to worry about compatibility or force closing system gui.
I set Novo launcher lower and a few other apps.

Update:
I changed the system ui to 420, along with Novo(remove shadow from desktop), and messaging and it looks perfect.
Fyi this doesn't break or distort the phone app.

If you use the method above with exposed and app settings mod your phone app will be perfect.

Thanks for mentioning that module. I hadn't taken the time to look through all the options as I downloaded and set up a ton through Wanam's module and was pretty satisfied. Really glad you mentioned it so I can get the one wrinkle ironed out. Appreciate it bro!
If anyone plays around with SystemUI DPI and sees it kick into tablet mode with the bottom navigation bar please do tell which DPI setting!

I read in other threads that you were really interested in getting the bottom bar style tab mode going, and I know I mentioned tablet mode above in my response but that was only in apps, the System UI never changed...and I believe the person who responded to you in the other thread is correct - 4.3 android doesn't have that built in to the system UI as an option.
For example, before my Note 3 I had an Nexus 4 and was running Paranoid Android - the developers had to basically make tablet mode from scratch to keep the traditional bottom bar style going after 4.3. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I thought you should know. Of course somebody could endeavor to build it like PA did or we could get PA at some point but without that I doubt you'll find your holy grail anytime soon.
Also guys you'll want the play store fix. Play store by default will his apps based on your dpi, This mood will fix that.

Yeah, I use either 320 or 360 mostly when I want to change an app. 320 can be a little bit too small sometimes, but right around that zone I think is ideal. Though I really haven't changed a ton of apps, mostly System, Chrome, reddit, Facebook, XDA, Go SMS that I can think of off the top of my head.

Agreed, though I went as low as 360 for System, just because I wanted notifications to be shorter in the pull down so I can see more. I usually have several persistent ones in there now, so I want to be able to see all of my actual notifications as well.
See attached for notification size @ 360 dpi.

Well said, my friend.
I have the new version of google maps from the mini-PA gapps. When I lower the DPI with ROM Toolbox, the directions list and some other options become blacked out. The text is grayish so still readable in zero sunlight.
Any idea what gives, or any idea how I can have a lower DPI without it going black on me?

Some apps just don't play nicely with different dpis. If you're not using ART, you could use xposed and app settings to set maps back to 320dpi. Not a solution if you specifically want maps with a lower dpi.
I have to do this with some apps, even though I've only modified the dpi of my launcher.
Update: I was actually thinking maybe it's because it's not at the right multiple of the resolution or there may be a threshold then the text boxes turn black, so I tried another DPI and 280 seems to working fine.
I've tried to use xposed before using ROM toolkit to set a global DPI change, but KitKat doesn't play well with it and I couldn't get a boot.

You can use an app like this if you don't want to ROOT: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
Or this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.edavid93.kitkat_battery_percentage
I think the 2nd one is the one I used with this phone up until this week (when I rooted). You don't need to root your phone with either of these, but you may need to restart it (even if it says you don't).

I'm using the first link. I like it. I've read that once you installed it, you can uninstall it and it will still be there.
I use Gsam Battery Monitor. Creates a battery icon in status bar that is easy to read. Also gives you phone temp.

If you pull down the notification area and tap on the status bar to bring up the quick setting menu you can see the percentage. That's good enough for me
I am a big fan of Settings Extended. For battery percentage and other cool notification bar features.
No root required .

Drop down status bar. Hold the gear icon for about five seconds. Should swirl and enable system ui tuner under settings. In this menu you can enable battery percentage. No root needed.

Thanks. This worked but it's different then where I enabled it once. I wonder if I'm thinking I did this in 5.1.1 which my phone cane with. I've had the phone less then a month.
Where are the best available instructions located should I decide to root the Moto X pure edition?

Hi as per your question
Please pull down the notifications bar, now long press on the gear icon for a while.
System ui tuner will be enabled and added to settings.
Go to system ui tuner in settings.
Go to status bar.
There you can find battery and how you want it to be displayed.
Works in Android 6 and 7
