Hi guys, i just want to ask if there's a mod to add the percentage symbol (%) next to the battery percentage number for cm10.1.
I've searched alot for this mod, but i've only found some useless stuff
It'll be great if somebody can help me!
Thanks
Look in the Settings->System, the feature is there. I can not tell by heart, where it is, but surf around, it is there.

I'm searching for a mod that adds the % symbol between the percentage number and the clock on the statusbar. Here in the screenshot you can see that i've already enabled battery percentage in the statusbar.

No need to search for a mod, the feature is already built-in in CM10.1.
Although it seems you got it solved already.
Note for the future, all questions and help requests go to the Q&A section, not General.

You don't understand what i'm asking. I am trying to add the % SYMBOL on the statusbar on cm10.1.
But don't worry about that, it's not quite important at the moment.
Thanks anyway for the answers
I recommend you to use Super Jelly Bean, it's light, fast, stable and has battery percentage

can someone please tell me what the little green circular thing next to the time on the status bar is, and what it does? I would have posted it on the Dev. thread but some guy bit my head off for asking a question there once.

Guess you don't use the search button. It's a battery icon replacement for more accuracy.

I thought that was the obvious answer, but as I write, it shows 100% in the circle, but 91% in real life (in settings and Battery Minder). Thanks.
its cuase the stock battery icon doesnt show the real battery %.
If you search the Vibrant forum there are mods for this, with different kind of icons
Is it possible to get the battery steps in 1% steps instead of 10%?
Would be nice.
Search is your friend. But since I hate people who just say that, I will add:
Circle battery widget does.
I also think someone is working on a mod to change the default display, not sure if they have finished/were successful.
I think DG said it was a hardware issue not software so booooo.

also a happy circle battery widget user, couldn't stand it in just 10%
I am working on an app that uses same method as circle battery widget. It will place the battery % in the notification bar similar to battery minder esk apps. It will NOT replace the stock one. Tho it is possible sooner or later.
I hope to have a beta out later today.
Sounds great!
A small icon in the status bar is much better than a big widget on the homescreen!
here u go, try this http://www.mediafire.com/?bx7w8kuhlfc8v7a
shouldnt have to many bugs lol, let me know what u think.
The time left in the drop down is still all jacked. I have shutdown time:-9:-50AM, hours left:-27.81 5:18PM
*I had a super Beta Beta version installed previously and i clean install followed by a reboot cleared this oddity out

I just installed it and it's working great, but as a future update do you think you can remove the small icon above the battery % number and enlarge the actual number so it is easier to read? Basically, make the % number fill up the status bar vertically. Let me know!
Damn u pauly lol, vinay, yes that is planed. I just did this as it was the easiest
Method to go with. A better method is planed.

I gave it some time. And rebooted. Seems to be doing much better now. Ill give it a day and report back.
*EDIT I ran my battery down to 2% and has a shutdown time 30 minutes earlier that the actual time. it was back to reporting -.29 hours. up to that point is was fairly accurate. it did adjust itself well the more i used it. Which is to be expected.
That is one reason am not too fond with "predictive life" it changes with stress. i can run it hard for an hour and show 2 hours left. then let it set for an hour and it shows 4 hours. so i pick it up and use it hard and it dies in an hour.

Do we have some screen shots of this in action? Thanks in advance, from the other thread too, hah
It works but it doesn't look nice and the entry in the notification bar isn't necessary in my eyes but maybe you can change that soon
Thanks!
any update on this app? is it possible to replace the stock battery icon?

umm, you can also enable the batter percentage to show on stock cm, go into settings, cm settings, interface, status bar tweaks and enable battery percentage.
Hey guys.
I've done my best to do lots of homework as I've slowly hacked my way into Continuum territory. I've spent a couple hours researching this and tried a couple zips and had to restore my phone.
Basically, I'm trying to get a percentage battery display instead of the battery icon in the top right notification bar, so I can see the battery level. I've looked at UOTKitchen, I even tried a Fascinate zip that did the same thing, but no dice.
Is there an easy way of doing this? I've been googling for a long time and can't find anything on this for the continuum specifically.
Thanks!
Let me add, I've rooted and flashed the Adrynaline DL17 clean ROM.
I got it working, I'll upload it later xP

Don't mean to pester Trailblazer. Just wanted to make sure you were replying to this thread and not on another so I know where to search. Thanks.
Lmao, the percentage battery mod has been uploaded in the theme section for like a week xP lol go check it out
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
Found it and applied the zip. Couple questions:
1) Looks like the GB theme contains the accurate battery mod. Is it possible to keep Adrynaline's clean DL17 ROM look and then apply the no clock and battery mods (and have the battery icon remain the standard blue)?
2) I've also seen a battery mod for Fascinate that has a circle with a meter on it, and the circle changes colors as the battery drains. Is this possible for the Continuum? If you google "samsung fascinate accurate battery life" several links come up with examples.
Thanks for your thoughts. Let me know how I can return the favor.

Yeah, I can create an accurate battery touchwiz theme... No Problem
I could do that too, i just personally think that's ugly If a lot of people want it (and will actually keep it! ) Then i will do it
and just stick with this phone, that's all i can ask
EDIT: Go check out my thread in the theme section Just for you
Applied the zip. At first it was working, but after charging last night, it's stuck on 100%?
hmm... That's kinda weird... If it worked before, it should continue to work!
I'll take a look though!
Couple things I noticed that may help. It seems to freeze at one number. So for a while it was at 100. Then 80, later at 35. I think they changed during reboots of the phone, but not during every reboot.
I applied the Touchwiz zip over the top of the GB theme. Should that work? Would I need to reflash the whole ROM and then apply?
THanks trailblazer!
EDIT: Watched it a bit closer today. It went from 100 to 80, then 65, when I woke up this morning it was 35...looking at the actual battery level though, those are only rough estimates. It seems like it is probably using the default Touchwiz battery levels, rather than the full accurate percentage.
Just to be sure, I flashed the clean ROM again. Still same issues.
I opening this thread especially for discuss AOKP nightlies, not for Milestone. I did not find separated thread here in XDA for nightly versions of AOKP. I think AOKP deserves a thread here.
To keep clean the AOKP Milestone thread, I suggest to post here any aokp nightly related issue/question.
If you want to post here, please do not forget to report which nightly version you are using currently. In this way I guess we can help each others more efficiently.
Latest nightlies can be found on AOKP website.
About battery time
We was discussed about battery times about nightlies on AOKP Milestone thread. I guess we can continue here as first discuss.
Please send your statistic and your opinion also about your battery time with your current nightly.
AOKP 2013-06-15
Drains the battery under Process "Android OS" about 2-3% / hour that I think too much in idle.
Even if I use my phone, (I mean screen is on) Process: "Android OS" always eats more battery than screen.. I guess its not normal.
AOKP Milestone 1
2% / 8hours in idle - My best results so far..
You can post here your results, please don't forget to tell your version, because its important.

obviously milestone version will be better than nightlies.
i plan to flash back milestone one. since i dont use the new things in the nightlies.
the only think i notice to be different is the auto brightness customization and the ribbon.
the android OS drain is too high.

Hi Guys
Strange things just happened.
Im still on nightly with my phone. i have some battery drain by android OS.
BUT
on my nexus the milestone version runs. Its already works good more than a month. Yesterday i noticed the same thing. Android OS drains the battery, more than the screen itself.
I started to find applications that can drain the battery through android os.
No luck. Im sure its not any installed application from playstore.
It must be the Google Apps itselt that the same on my both device.. Between gapps im sure 'currents' is a big battery killer. first i uninstalled and got better result, but still androis os drains the batteries on my both device.. Im pretty sure they are updating themselves without any question. so this battety drain not comes with aokp nightlies, but google apps. and that more frightening: together android os battery drain i noticed mediaserver also works even if i dont watch any video and my phone is muted.... what if google spying on us??? very strange.. I'll try to use my tablet without any connection, just for a test...
Android OS secrvice alway was around 2-5% from a full battery.. even if the device is idle!!!
do you guys experiencing the same behaviour by android os??

This threads offends me. I have taken time to create an aosp roms dicussion thread for discussing all aosp roms, yet you fail to utilize the search function to see if previous thread already exist and open a thread like this. I also posted a link to my thread post #7 which you disregarded. Here it is again:

Mods, please leave this thread here. We need a place to discuss the nightlies.

My grand grandfather was an astronaut!
Good news!
I did find the problems!
its about google apps....
i uninstalled google currents
and disabld everything in the location settings.
now my battery drain stopped!
in the last 6 hours of idle, drained only 1%!
it seems much better now.
Im still on 06-15 niggtly.
Same thing solved my problem on nexus 7.
So I guess this battery drain not come from any aokp build! If you want, you can install back the latest nightly (imo same stable like milestone was, however i dont use the built in lock screen and i saw peoples having problem with it.).
good luck!

Hi, I have high android OS usage even though I clean install the milestone one.
Like u said, the android OS usage is always Slightly higher than screen usage.
Better batter stats doesn't show any partial or kernel wake lock.
I suspect it may be the auto brightness.
I have mine completely customized to my own values.
Maybe it's causing the phone to constant check the light sensor.
I have disable the auto brightness and will check how it behaves.
hi
on my device auto brightness fully disabled i using constant 1% brightness because i alwasys inside... I think you dont need to affraid because of that.
i guess its google apps
go to application and check google services thats already updated. you can delete update.. so i think google services can change in the background.
i also started use better battery stats. i'll let you know if i have some news.
bye

Recently came over from CM, needed more customization. AOKP has been great, but has a couple of weird bugs on my device. Most notably, occasionally the multitasking pane has no quit all button. However, all I have to do is leave and immediately reopen the multitasking. Doesn't affect much, but still a minor annoyance. Still, having a blast playing around with all the customization, I feel like I'm just scratching the surface.

I had the opposite experience. I tried cyanogen mod yesterday.
And was underwhelmed by the lack of things in cm. it lose to aokp in so many ways.
But there are 2 things cm does better than aokp, the torch toggle that leaves a notification in the status bar to be turn off.
And remap volume button to control media volume instead of ringer volume.
The multitasking plane has a kill all button if you enable it in rom settings under general.
I do not face bug where it randomly disappear. If issue persist, you could try reinstall rom.
Fast summary about battery drain problem
After I did try different variations of roms and modem versions (basebands), I must say that: nothing is draining the battery because of AOKP, just looks like...
I feel my battery keeps a little longer with XXELLA baseband than XXEMC2.
In my opinion it's just a bad battery statistics that misleading us.. Somehow in the battery log "Android Os" almost always comming up to the first place, even if that is impossible and not logical.
Just for an example:
Charge up your phone to 100%, then do not switch off your phone.
Switch off everything that can eat extra battery (bluetooth, wifi, mobile data, nfc, gps)
Try to watch movie from your sd card or do anything to drain your battery to approx. 80%.
You will see in the battery log: Screen or/and media is the biggest consumer of the battery.
Leave your phone in idle for 6-8 hours long, then check again the battery log.
Probably your battery losts another 1-2%, but Android OS will be the bigger consumer again, thats logically not possible...
If the battery lost 20% because of the screen, and another 1-2% because of idle: Android OS can not come above the screen time with total 1-2% of consumption.. So its false, we dont need to talking about. Its a battery log bug. I guess the very high numbers of kernel wakelocks mislead the calculations of the battery stat. I also noticed that my screen time changed to less. Certain parts of the battery log was missing or/and incorrect: I did not see screen in the list two times, and once I did see bluetooth as bigger consumer (wih 68 hours!!!) even if i did not use any bluetooth connection. I did try battery calibration - not helps.
Any Nightly version of AKOP don't eats more battery than Milestone!!!
6-16 Nightly is stable on my device, no random restarts or any malfunction, superuser works better, camera bug also fixed
Only thing that I noticed as difference is between basebands:
On my device XXELLA eats less battery [0,25%/hour] in idle, than XXEMC2 [up to ~1,25%/hour - variable sometimes less]
I living in the European Union, so I can't suggest to everyone to use the mentioned version of baseband, But if you notice more battery consumption in idle, good idea to try another (maybe older) baseband version that suggested in your area.
Headphone Volume/Distortion fix
If someone is noticed that: AOKP's headphone output much louder(and distorted) than Originally SGS3 with stock rom, Here is a quckfix:
Use any root explorer (I did use AntTek Explorer - works good and free), make sure it has root privileges.
Go to: System>etc >sound where is a file located, m0
Open the file for edit
Search the section that starts <device name="headphone">
In this section you will see another two row:
<ctl name="Left Output Mixer DAC Volume" val="7"/>
<ctl name="Right Output Mixer DAC Volume" val="7"/>
Set the values from 7 to 4
Save the file
Restart your phone
For me personally not necessary to pumping out my brain with headphones, so I rather need quality sound than high volume. I always using Poweramp and after the change I noticed: I can boost more bass and treble without distorting the sound...
Overally I'm not satisfied with the sound quality of s3 (my old galaxy nexus was much better imo), but with this settings, sounds much better for my ears... If someone is more audiofil, just like me: I suggest to try this settings.
