[Q] Battery Indicator doesn't increase in 1% increments - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As stated in the title
My battery indicator doesn't tally with the actual battery percentage. however, when i open up the battery mod's .zip, the correct image is given to every stat_sys_battery_XX.png, so it would seem that the battery isn't incrementing/decrementing in steps of 1%? The screenshot is attached below.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Reset battery stats first .

thats cause you just flashed the battery mod on a stock SystemUI.apk
you need a modded SystemUI.apk with stat_sys_battery and stat_sys_battery_charge modified to make 1% increments work.
flash the modded apk then flash the battery mod.

Battery Percent On The Lockscreen, Permanent?

As most probably know there's a battery indicator that shows your battery percentage on your lockscreen ..
But it only when you've plugged it into the charger, if I unplug the charcger, will the icon disappears. Someone who knows how to fix it, to be there all the time..

widgetlocker which replaces the lock screen allows you to put widgets on the lock screen
why not just flash your framework to show the circular battery indicator. Its much much better than the stock ans is easy to read as well.

Is it possible to go back to the old battery indicator without a full restore/repair and having to delete everything?
Would rather have this

You don't need to flash. Just backup your framework-res.apk and replace it with the modified one. Try to find the walkthrough at themes and apps section. Cheers.

Yep, it's quite easy to do, all you have to do is :
- get root (use z4root which can be found on the market)
- (re)mount your system partition as read/write
- backup the original files
- push the modified files
- ???
- profit !
It's completely reversible.
P.S: look for X10ModTool which can be handy for this.

[Q] Status battery icon

Since we have the atrix deodoxed we should be able to edit the framework. I really miss the icon percentage for the battery. Any good artists working on that yet?

There's a quirk with Motorola phones where the system only shows battery percentages in 10% increments, so for now...no.
The only workaround thus far is this:

Sad to hear.. but even a 10% change step view is better than non. Just take the "unnecessary" single steps images out?

there's a way to make it read in incriments of 1%.. DG did it.. I believe you need to edit framework-res and add some new xmls that include each step from 1%-100% :T
if you need help with that.. you can try searching for circle battery mod in xda.. and download it.. and look at what's inside the zip and see where you need to put the new .png's and what to write in the xmls.

Hey, sweet! My post got quoted in another topic I feel like a celebrity

please delete this thread

Update: Does not seem to work. Only reports the battery in increments of 10%.
I have created a framework-res apk that changes the stock battery in the notification bar to one with a percent symbol in it. The percentage is suppose to be accurate to 1%. Example: it will read 100% then 99% 89% etc. I pushed the apk to my phone several times and everything is working. However my battery is fully charged and therefore I cannot verify that it display battery percent in increments of 1. Is it possible for someone with a battery that is not fully charged to test the apk and see if indeed it works?
This works with the stock rom only. Doesn't work with adeo.
Btw I am using a deodexed framework as a base.
Instructions:
Just replace the original framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ with the one I have created.

[MOD][Battery]Simple Battery Mod

Hey guys
Well I've just recently started getting into all modding\developement related stuff, and so I'm making a few mods and stuff to practice.
This mod simply replaces the battery percentage next to battery icon and puts percentage inside the icon itself
Very simple, hopefully some of you will find it useful
Simply flash Zip in CWM.
Backup is always adviced, just in case
Enjoy!
My Icons in the statusbar are on the right, will they get on the left when I flash your zip?
No, it will work both left to righ tna dright to left just the same

[Q] Is there a way to get the stock battery metering to display in increments of 1%?

Hi,
First off I apologize if this question has already been asked, but so far no amount of searching has returned what I'm looking for.
I use a few battery meter apps and widgets (droid RAZR M circle widget, anyone?) that rely on the battery level given by the "battery usage" window, which means that they all display the battery level in increments of 5%. I would much rather have the battery level broadcast in increments of 1%, as I know there are a few apps that can display 1% changes on the RAZR. Is there any way to have the battery level broadcast system wide in increments of 1%?
I am running stock 4.1.2 unrooted.

There is a battery mod for 1% , but you need root and a custom recovery for that.

If u don't want root, get battery widget reborn from playstore, shows battery percent in status bar
Tapped from my RazR
There is another way to do this - but this assuems a deodexed stock rom and some knowledge about aoktool. Just decompile the SystemUI.apk (don't forget to install sourcefiles from framework-res.apk), got to /res/xml/ and find the battery indicator files. The do the same (decompile) with a SystemUI.apk from any CM or AOSP rom. Open the same files and copy&paste the whole content into your original file. Now you need to copy&paste the picture files (only the battery icon files which are showing the percentage in 1%-steps into the right folder (should be somewhere in hdpi...). In the original file there are less pictures only whosing 10%-steps, overwrite them with the new files.
Now recompile your modifed SystemUI.apk, open that one with any archive manager and also open the ORIGINAL apk file with the archive manager. Copy&paste the META-INF folder and the Android_manifest.xml into your modified apk file and close it (You have to perfrom these steps because you're playing with a system apk, and it will loose its signature if you bypass these last steps, which will result in bootloops or any other issues).
Now you can flash or copy7insert the file, don't forget the permissions and you're good to go with it
