Does anyone know if its possible to get the circle battery mod (circle with percentage in the notification bar) on our GSIIs? Already missing that from my Captivate.
I'm not sure on the mod, I was hoping for the same kind of thing coming from my rooted captivate. However, if you download an app on the marketplace called "Battery Solo Widget," it allows you to have a widget on your desktop showing what you are looking for. That's what I'm using for now.

It's possible. You just need root and you can change it yourself (by modifying the framework-res apk and replacing the existing one with root explorer, or the like) if you have the icons (or with UOT - you'll need CWM for this method obviously).

Thanks, Simba. I'm afraid that's a little beyond the scope of my skill level
This one works for me.

You can also use battery circle app. That will give you the percent in the status bar.

SIMI clock is a good clock widget that also has a circle battery icon built in. it's also free.

Thanks. Downloaded it and am happy with Battery Circle. I wish I could use it to replace the crappy one that comes stock.
I used it before I did a custom ROM.

If you still have the apk file on your captivated, you can copy it over and it works great. It was 1 of the first things I installed.

Without having to flash a whole theme.. anyway to just get battery percentage mod on CM7?
I use "battery notifier" its only 55kb in size and requires no permissions, it gives u a little battery icon in notifications and u have the option to place the percent on that little icon I dont think you will be able to mod the actual icon or do much to to the status bar without a flash

Doesn't seem like cm7 is supported for any of those. But I found a mod that works from the general android theme section.

I already removed the 'theme manager' and all that business. There really isn't any flashable zip like the bar battery floating around? I have it set to always show on my lock screen, but locking and unlocking to see my battery percentage is getting old.... :-/
I figured it would be included in cmparts, but it wasn't. Was there a reason for that?

Really? That's very interesting...it's such a simple improvement. Who wouldn't want to know their battery percentage over just a shaded battery icon? It's practically useless. I can't tell the difference between 50 percent and 30 percent...it looks the same! lol

I'm with you there. I'm not much of a 'theme' guy. If I want something changed, I'll change it..but I'm not one to change everything just so I can have the battery percentage. I had it on the stock mysense rom, so I'll just wait for it to show up in cm7. ....sigh.....one can only hope....
I did some Googling and searched the thread but i didn't find anything.
Is there a mod for 1% battery increments for the stock rooted 2.3.4 x2?
I've found them for other phones and built into rom's but what about stock rooted?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
1) wrong section
2) check out UOT Kitchen. You can customize your own battery symbol how ever you want. And its flushable, just have to upload systemui and framework-res.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
i have rom toolbox so yes i already can change the battery icon....thats not what i am looking for...i want it to read in 1% increments...stock doesn't....i cant update the icon that is capable of doing that but it'll still just update in the stock increments
This post prolly get moved to Q&A...but anyways the 1%mod is a series of edits somewhere in the framework I believe.
I thought I had seen a flashable version a long while ago but can't find it. It gonna take some digging around to find....good luck
Use UOT Kitchen to make a mod, its easy and customizable.
I could make you one if you want.

That would be much appreciated! I don't need the logo i can change that with rom toolbox. i just need the phone to be able to process the 1% increments...Thanks a lot!!
The program I use to get 1% is Battery Monitor Widget Pro.

(See Attached pic ) Sorry about poor pic quality.
There's a setting in program to set the 1%.
Work's great I use this widgit in pic.
Hope this Helps

That's a good idea the only thing is u need to be on home screen to see the 1% increments.
Other than that...good idea
Ya thanks for the idea I just want it built into the status bar like all the rom's. I can't believe there isn't something available already to flash to get this...oh well I'm a dev will eventually do it
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Actually you can show on notification bar.
(See Attached) There's a free add on to do this.

True but I'd rather have that not running in the background and don't need additional icon in the bar.....thanks though....I want the current battery icon to just read 1% increments and then I can update the icon with rom toolbox.

I PM'd you a solution.
ok, I'm still an android noob, but I believe the functionality is already there, its not like my prior TP2 that required special drivers.
Hence I think you really could just use UOT to change the existing icon on the bar to the needle gauge type with numbers?
somebody correct me if I'm wrong?

You can use UOT Kitchen to mod everything but status bar and boot animation.
You just have ROM use the right systemui and framework-res apks, otherwise you'll get fcs operantly.

I've tried searching with not too much luck...
I'm wanting to do the battery icon mod (percentage) on my phone. I have a LG MyTouch (E739). It is rooted, but still running the stock rom since there isn't anything available for this phone.
Everything that I'm able to find says that its specific for certain roms. Is a "universal" one available anywhere?
Check market, battery indicator pro... and done... it won't replace the battery, it will show another icon with battery.

No, for cm you have to upload a theme apk. So an example would be cyanbread. You would upload one of those themes.

How do I get my battery icon to look like this? (I am on an i9300).
Believe it or not, if you're fairly new to Android, it's hard to google this one.
A number of ways with customs roms or simple bar icons changing apps that's called circle mod icon u need root to be able to do these things

Exactly. I don't want to wade through my sea of icons to find my battery life. I also don't want to have a graphical battery icon and a percentage taking up two spots....
Pictures like that of the mobilesyrup review seem to show a newly released device that's [most likely] not rooted. Does the LTE SGS3 have some different ROM on it with that battery icon included?

You need to be rooted. I take pride in saying that my phone is rooted.
You don't own a gs3 if you are not rooted.
