So I was looking through the metamorph forums and noticed several of you have a very sweeet looking battery icon. It was like the percent battery left inside of a circle of colors(green) and it replaced the lame default battery icon. How do I get this?
You flash bionixs rom. Or flash accurate battery from somewhere in these forums.

If you are on the stock rom you can get them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784867
The image of the battery looks like it is maybe 15% or 20% drained, just a little sliver.
I go to battery status and it says 64%! That is a giant visible difference--which one is accurate?
Some battery icons only change after a certain percentage. For example, Flagship is 20% increments. So the icon remains fill up until you hit 79%, then the icon changes. Just look for an accurate battery mod for your ROM or get a battery widget from the market.

Agreed... the whole "how's battery life on this" is honestly a little ridiculous.

I was wondering if anyone has a CRT effect for switching the screen off but without a battery mod?
I know there's plenty mods which contain the CRT effect but they usually include other mods as well. I like the original simple battery symbol, never been a fan of the circle or percentage mods
I'm running VillainRom1.1 and i know VillainTweaks has the CRT effect but it also installs a circle battery with percentage.
i am also interested in this.....any help....
I'm guessing due to the lack of response that it is not possible. I thought it would be easy for someone with development experience to just be able to remove the battery mod and leave the CRT effect.
Suppose i'll just have to put up with a cheap tacky battery mod!

Give people a chance to read your post. A more laidback approach might even motivate people to provide you with a solution.
The battery mod is just the battery icons replaced. If you download a CRT + Batt mod, just edit it yourself and replace the 'modded' battery icons for the original. Its quite easy
Or better yet run it through the kitchen and pick what you desire

There is that way as well
Hi Razr-Users,
I stumbled upon a review, which said that the Razr measures the battery life in 10%-steps. Even with apps, that replace the battery icon, it will still show the steps in 10%. The fact, that I read this just one time in a review, makes me wonder if this is true.
Can somebody confirm this for the Razr XT910?
I read that review too, but they are wrong.
I use Circle Battery Widget, and it shows perfectly in 1 % increments.
Actually, I'm very positively surprised by the battery performance.
There is a long thread in the Atrix subforum where a guy called shoux found a way how to modify services.jar and framework-res.apk in order to have the stock battery icon displaying 1% increments as well. I already sent him a note and asked him if he could do the same changes to the Razr's files if I would send them to him. Maybe he can help us out.
Need to deodex to have this feature

If you want a taskbar icon in 1% increments you can use the battery circle app (free on market).
I have the app, but how do I put the icon in the task bar? Thanks!

Do you have the battery cirgle application? You don' have to do anything, it places the icon automaticaly
I'm not sure that they would change measuring algorithm just on Razor, cuz it depends on the Android system mostly and on the battery controller in the phone. Definitely in 1%.
Yes it's the battery circle app. But I see nothing I. The task bar..... Hmmm

battery circle doesnt show 100%, is that correcT? it only shows max 99% for the razr even with battery wipe stats.
It showed 100% for me. I just waited a little longer when the stock icon already reached 100%.

Thanks a lot, I already thought that this is more like the Razr. Even though most of the reviews mention poor battery performance, I'm still waiting for some posts about the reallife performance.

Will have a look into it, sounds good.
@all: Thanks a lot for the infos!
Its weird. A few apps that I have used on multiple other android devices are reporting the battery level only in 10% increments. The circle battery app does show the correct percentage but why do these other apps not show the correct percentage? Whats different about the Razr from every other phone?
The two apps i'm referring to that show 10% increments are:
SiMi Clock Widget
BatteryLife
Can someone else try these and tell me if they have an answer to why they arn't working correctly. I would like to use the SiMi Clock Widget if we can figure out why the battery is only showing at 10% increments.
Here you can find a good explanation why this is.
You can only change the increments of the battery with a custom rom.

I have installed the BatteryLife app on multiple devices with stock roms on them and the battery increment has always been at 1% intervals. The Razr is the first phone (or tablet) I have seen that does it by 10%. So again why is the Razr different?
My XT910, running Stock 4.0.4. rom is also displaying battery levels in 10% increments. Anyone find out more about this?
Thanks
This mod would charge phone while allowing other mods to attach to its backplate. So you could have extra battery life while also using the Hasselblad Camera Mod or other mods

I have applied to Motorola but I have not been contacted by them yet
I would find it very interesting, depending on thickness and battery life of course, but yes... definite interest.

I envision about 6 mm thickness which should be enough for a decent battery.
I have noticed that having the Hasselblad camera mod on all day really drains the battery on the Moto Z. Maybe I should buy the Moto Mods developer kit
