How do I change the battery icon? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I have just rooted my phone with CyanogenMod 9 and I have Apex Pro Launcher on it. I really want to change the battery icon and put the percent in battery next to the icon on the notification bar. Like this at the top: http://i.minus.com/jmYkiylPBLHA7.png
Could anyone tell me how I change that battery icon and put the battery percent next to it?
Thanks in advance!

A couple of different ways I have changed the battery icons on my S2 are:
1. Install Jkays Framework. Not only is this great for customising status bar but you can do LOTS of other things too. I wouldn't use my phone without it!
2.Install Rom Toolbox Pro it's AMAZING and has so many tools in it, you can change boot animations, icons, run scripts, make tweaks and that is only the tip of the iceberg. It's a great app and well worth buying if you have a rooted phone

I want the battery icon itself to be replaced by a percentage icon or something , not a separate icon ...
How is that possible .?

I don't think it is unless you flash a theme. I used to use jkays theme a lot. You can find the thread in the themes section.
Hey, you said non-rooted stock rom. So I gave the only available possibility; using an app that shows an extra icon.
If you want to replace icons, you'll need root and flash a theme!

How to remove dock, change notification bar?

Hey guys, I just flashed MIUI to give it another shot and im loving it all over again.
There are a couple things I'd like to know:
1. Can I remove the dock? If so, how?
2. Where can I go to learn about how to install a new notification bar? I want to check the themes/tweaks/etc.
3. How do I install new icons? I downloaded icon packs but not exactly sure how to install them, im still reading up on Desktop visualizer but im still a bit confused
Thanks

Remove the dock by installing a new launcher of your choosing. I prefer GoLauncher with miui.
Go to settings, there should be themes in there. When you are in the themes you can browse or search by clicking online at the top. If you go to the bottom and click edit theme you can mix and match your themes. Like notification bar from one, lock screen from another, etc.
I have never heard of desktop Visualizer. Icons are a subset of the themes. You can mix and match them too. If you go to edit the theme, then select icons, and click online you can browse just the icons, vs the whole theme.
You can also find some themes in the general android theme forum, not the gs2, the bigger Android section.
Well, look what you did, now you got me in the miui mood, I'm gonna have to switch back.

on MIUI, just open the THEMES app and download whatever theme you want. also you can customize the current theme you are on to make it any way you like....personally i like meeui dark with ics mixed in....
I'll throw in a plug for the ADW launcher, which will let you wasily do several of the modifications you want: roemove the dock, hide the notification bar and change icons via a long press of the target.
I only use Desktop Visualizer if I want to use an icon that's larger than 1x1.

Use the advice that was given above your post, 3 years ago... just install a new launcher and disable it in the app settings. Perhaps your current launcher can already do it.

[Q] Transparent statusbar home- and lockscreen

Since we'll most likely won't get KitKat on our device, I decided to edit the statusbar on the stock, deodexed, ICS rom that I use as a daily driver. A transparent statusbar, custom battery icons, a KitKat wallpaper and Nova launcher would be good enough for me.
So I followed this guide and succeeded in making the statusbar 100% transparent. Problem is that it also remaines transparent when the statusbar is pulled down and in certain apps. For example in Gmail the bar turns white so the icons in the statusbar can't be seen. In Maps it remains transparent so you'll see your icons twice and a bit overlapping.
When using apktool, does anyone know which lines need to be edited in what app to only make the statusbar transparent in home- and lockscreen?
Thanks in advance!
Xposed

Thanks for the tip, already tried achieving it with Xposed and Xblast but it doesn't seem to work. Most likely because I'm still in ICS. I know I know I should upgrade etc but I just like ICS better
Will dive into the SystemUI, Rosie and framework-res apk's a bit more to see if I can find how the statusbar background is set and with what actions.
Please do something like that .... I would love to try that on my DX

[Q] remove battery percent sign (%) form statusbar

hi guys. i tried it with Gravitybox but 5 second after it remove, it appears again. what should i do? any app or systemui modifimodification ?
Settings>Battery>Scroll down too "Percentage on status bar" move slide to disable
i think you don't have eyes to read the title
U Want to remove %. Thats the way u do it.
but.. nice insult.
r u kidding? it remove battery percentage not percent symbol
Ok my bad kid.
What version of Android are you running and do you have/ do you want to have Xposed installed?
official 6.0.1. xposed v80 by wanam is installed
That's a good start then chap. I'm sure there's a module called flat bar icons, or something like that, that allows you to change all the icons on the notification bar, I used to have it but never delved to deep into it. I think that allows you to lose the percentage sign.
yes flat style bar indicator is a good app tnx.
No worries man, hope it solves your dilema
this app is great. but still there is one thing that annoying me. stock statusbar icons' color automatically change from white to black when statusbar become white, but flat style don't have this feature.
so i'm looking for solution. also i'm thinking about editing systemui to remove percent sign and adding other feature to statusbar. Do you know any post or threat to helps me about it?
