Battery Percent in Notification bar icon - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

The app is called "Battery Percent for KitKat / L". I have no affiliation with this app or developer or anything but I thought it was pretty cool. It allows you to have the battery percent icon enabled in the notification bar without root or anything. And in Lollipop it actually works and looks correct at all battery levels since the text is dark rather than white. The images it is showing in the play store are from KitKat so it doesn't look as good because the text used to be white.

Ahem. The app by @kroegerama *cough* already has its own thread on xda. In the very same section, N5 Themes and Apps...

Yeah its good. Just enables built in percentage. Doesn't help me at 370dpi though

Yep, that is tiny then... ??

Ahh, sorry. I just searched using F3 quickly on a couple pages here and was so excited I decided to post

Battery percentage without root? Thank you very much
Cheers!

You guys can use the below commands too.
No need of third party apps.
Just run in command prompt.
Works in all Roms.
Code:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:status_bar_show_battery_percent --bind value:i:1
adb reboot

And this is not required everytime after reboot?

control panel in notification drawer.

hey guys, ive had my nexus for a while, but i switched over from an iphone and on the iphone there was a plug in called sb settings which allowed you to swipe your finger across the status bar and a small control panel would drop down giving you options to dim your screen, turn wifi and other toggles on and off, and gave you your system info all without having to leave the current app you were on. i was wondering if there is such a thing for android, where you have a control panel in the notification drawer.?
looked like this on iphone

A free app called 'Bar Control' will let you put shortcuts in the notification bar.
I use this with 'Switches', a paid toggling app, and a free app 'Wifi Status' (that warns you if you have wifi on but no connection to a network).
HTH
Quick Settings free on the market will also do this. Nice little program I use it every day.

+1, works great (although it could do with a UI uplift).

exactly what i was looking for. works great. thankss. itd be cool if the led flash was supported for nexus. but it gets the job done.
It would be good, I'm stock so not sure if LED torch works with root.
the led torch app for the N1 defenitely requires root

What Are These?

On page 2 of my App selection screen I there are these outlines of what look like icons on the left side of the screen (see attached image). Any idea as to what those are for?
Thanks!

Press on them and you'll be taken to that page of apps. It's more of an indicator if you still have apps on additional pages in the app drawer. Looks cool too with the holo outline.

ah ok good idea thanks!
The perform two functions you don't immediately recognize.
1- Informing you of an overflow situation(i.e. "There's more stuff here")
2- Quick Navigation (Tap on it and it scrolls the page for you)
This is also evident on the homescreens, if you tap the edge of the screens it'll move to the next page for you.
Ha, really OP?
It looks really cool, but unfortunately many apps don't work fully and just show either a circle or square halo. It's great how the default apps have the actual outline.
Does anybody know how that outline is defined for app icons? Does it just take the transparency of the the png?

Jelly Bean does have native battery percentage

If you modify the build.prop file and set the DPI to 160, Android will switch to a UI designed for larger screen sizes. Along with that comes a native battery percentage indicator in the notification shade.
So my question is this, if it exists in the native OS, is there a simple hack to get it to appear in the other native interfaces?

Sure would be nice if this was a system setting! Be nice to get type size larger without rooting!
No kidding! It would seem promising to me though that the operating system does, in fact, have a battery percentage indicator built in. I can't imagine it should be too much of a stretch to force it to appear in the non-tablet interfaces.

easily doable via System UI edits...decompile using apktool
need to update stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml to include pngs for all files, and add in your pngs
Yeah it'd be great to have a battery indicator and the clock/notifications on the bottom, but heard of too many scare stories to even try, like the Nexus 7 bricking on boot and more incompatible apps
Having the battery percentage showing up in the tablet is not something new. I have it on my HoneyComb Tablet: it shows up the percentage near to the battery.
I don't know if it isa modification made by HTC, but I don't think so.
Sorry to revive a dead/old thread, but have any of you found a solution to this since last posting here? Or can anyone else comment on this? I'm trying to get the battery percentage showing next to/inside of the battery icon on the status bar on my friends phone for him, without rooting preferably, and without installing additional software (otherwise I'd just install GSam).
TYIA!

[Q] Status bar icons color (How to change)

Hello, I want to change touchwiz kinda grey (ish) status bar icons to white, like CM's (not exactly CM's icons but the color). I've used flatstyle module but the notification icons from other apps and text remain grey. I've looked within SystemUI.apk but didn't find anything that leads me to that, are those .png files, any .xml file I need to dig?
I'm on Norma v15 Note 5 port for Note 3.
I attach images of my rom and CM's.
Thanks in advance.
Yeah, well welcome to the minority world. I mean most people don't even get bothered by a 'small' thing like this, but I don't understand how don't they, because the distinction between grey and white is more than noticeable, even for people with imperfect visions, and as status bar is a narrow and small spaced space, the more noticeable they are, the better. So best of luck for finding an answer to it.
I think it's not grey but a bit transparent. Maybe in color.xml in res/values. I used to adjust it but can't remember exactly.

Well, I've looked into it and changed every #fffafafa (which is the grey) to #ffffffff, but everything remains the same.
Hey buddy, yes, I'm a bit obsessed with that, couldn't use your systemui png files, spent a lot of time yesterday night trying to find the correct xml.
I will not rest until figure this out.

Replace your phone's screen.
It is covered under warranty.
I had sent the screenshots. Also,
I have rooted my phone so it's not under warranty anymore, if the problem persists I'll untoot, lock bootloader and then go to the service center.
Yeah, if your phone is under warranty, you could easily change the display with the service center guys. It's free of cost.
