Hey People,
I just got myself a SGS3 yesterday and I have been used to using OUT kitchen to change batteri icons etc on my SGS2. But how would I go about doing that on my SGS3?. I think the stock battery icon is hidious and I want battery %. And yes I know I can activate that in settings.
But activating % in settings means my battery icons takes up 2 spots while flashing another battery icon would mena that I could have both and yet only use "1" space on it.
So the question is, is it possible and how.

Yes. something show the percents
Battery Monitor Widget Pro !
I use BatteryLife.
I like BattStatt, its really nice!
Its Pro version was recently released for free in market, and is much more customisable.
I'm using Smart Batter Monitor.
It's not a widget, but I'm very fond of Circular Battery Indicator

I've used this for a long time now - like it a lot
I used Vizbattery. ( no connection to the comic lol)
Simple, elegant and not very obtrusive
ive been using the make your clock widget with battery for a while now
i use clarus battery
can i say none?
well not if you are running gingerbread........
I brought juice defender ultimate and i like to think it made a bit of a
difference when running froyo.
Since i began running cyanogenmod i cant see any improvement what so ever-
I believe it may just be the way i personally use my phone;
I am constantly on my phone all day flicking it on and then locking it.
I think it may use alot of power creating a data connection(handshakes with server)
than what it would be if it was just left running in the background.
Bluetooth is never switched on, Gps on all the time,
I get 2 days usage typical/ I see roughly a 8- 10% drop per hour when listening to music on my headphones
If you dont use your phone alot you may see more of a difference.
Only my personal experience
Battery Monitor Widget Pro indeed.
use PowerTime as it tells you aproximately how long your battery will last you. It is also very customizable as a widget and it tells you how long your battery will last you according to your overall battery usage stats.

I have wanted to use that myself but have not figured out for wildfire. Did the desire files work or did you have to recompile for the wildfire?
Do you also know if you can flash this over an existing theme you're using?
About the battery app. Don't use any widget, every widget consumes battery life. I just use the option in cyanogenmod that has a little color bar and the percentage number next to it... And the circulars posted above make it even cooler.
hey according to me ,,u download "android system" from market...it wil show u batteru...even details of rom n al......
i think the best way is http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
it just makes battery with percents in status bar... without any widgets
earlier, without root the phone i used Fbreader it can show also battery with percents... any other ways just decrease battery charge
Hi Guys,
I just bought my SGS2 yesterday and had been charging it overnight. I looked at some of the battery indicators you guys have, which features a circular mode with numbers in it, indicating the percentage of battery life left. How do I get that? Mine is still the default battery icon with green juice in it.
You read the guides in the themes and apps section. Requires root as you are changing system files

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Is that the only way? to flash and play with the codings of the phone? Or can I just download sometihng off the market instead?
Main reason being I dont know how to play with codes and am just afraid that I might be doing something which I shouldn't.
Thanks.

Would suggest you to just get something like Battery Indicator off the market if you don't want to root.
It won't replace your battery icon but it'll show your battery level in 1% increments in your notification area.
Thanks!~ Will get the curve-fish one then...
main reason for not flashing or rooting is because i don't wanna void my warranty...
Hi Guys,
I was looking at SiMi clock widget... downloaded it and started using it. What strikes me is that the size stays 2x1. Is there anyway to enlarge the size to 3x1 or even 4x1?
Sorry guys. Already figured that out. Thanks anyway~!
Any battery precentage apps by every 10% or 1%? For status bar or widget.
Battery Circle.
Also Battery Indicator Pro but be sure to go to the settings and enable the 1 % battery hack.

Ive been using Battery Indicator Pro for a few weeks now. Under what settings can you change it to a 1% read out? Im currently at the 10%.
I thought ive read in the past that moto phones have issues displaying by 1%?
Ok got it. I had an update for the app available. Updated and the "one-percent hack" was at the bottom of the options
And it is working
I've found the the description at the battery-indicator homepage, but where can I donwnload the hack itself? Or where is a button for update?
Edit: -> Problem solved, update from market
i have been using battery cricle for a week and but the battery full notifications comes on at 95% .Is this Bug in the app or everything normal ? or any other app suggestions ?

It's pretty common for any indicator I've used to drop to 99% as soon as I unplug, including battery circle. You might try a different USB cord or charge adapter and see if that makes a difference.
I'm using Battery Indicator Pro now, with the 1% hack enabled, and prefer it.
Thanks for the Reply
Use 2x battery..
FREE at android market..
The Icon circle looks good than Battery Circle
Ledefy : http://ledefy.com/
Made for the Motorola Defy/Defy+ Works great on the RAZR
Battery Notifier Pro BT
Battery Notifier Pro BT is my favorite for 1% increments on RAZR. I've tried others (including Circle Battery and Battery Indicator) but found some were hard to read or seemed to be more of a drain on my battery.
Battery Notifier Pro BT works well on RAZR and has big, easy-to-read numbers, color-coded ranges as battery discharges, and add-on fonts. Also, it is the lowest drain on the battery. I recommend it!
I've checked out all these suggestions. The best free one to me is Battery Circle. I changed it to where it's just the numbers in white no battery circle around it.

https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEwMiwiZGUuZGV2bWlsLm1pbmltYWx0ZXh0Il0. Minimalistic Text shows 1% battery steps, and it's super customisable! (I don't think I can sounds more like an ad.)
Flash Arctic rom with vivid lime theme or www.UMTkitchen.com

Market says this app is incompatible with my RAZR.
I've tried a few, and Minimalistic text is really good. It's customizable, and does way more than just providing battery percentage. Simi clock widget also provides battery in increments of 1, if I'm not mistaken.

It is a cool app and I kept it. However, I specifically wanted a app with the battery percentage in the status bar, and I don't think Minimalistic can do that.
Try "team battery bar" also. It adds a 1 pixel battery bar at the very top (or bottom) of the screen, even when using a fullscreen app.
It's not a classical indicator but it's a very efficient one.

I have searched and asked in the appropriate threads but no joy, how do I go back to the default battery icon in the top right corner, if I happen to install a rom, that shows the numeric battery percentage please?, I just want the default battery icon that doesn't show, the percentage number. I used to have a default battery mod, i used to use on gingerbread roms, but when I try and flash it on ics, my phone crashes, looking forward to your help, it might sound noobish, but I have searched, with no luck thanks in advance.
