So I can't seem to figure why, but I no longer have my battery icon in my status bar. I know I disabled it once in favor for the Circle Battery using G3 TweaksBox, but I was trying to go back to the stock icon and I noticed that the "Hide Battery Icon" setting in TweaksBox is already unchecked, even though I can't see the icon. The thing is, the percent from the battery is shown from the phone's battery settings. The only thing I can give to provide some help is that if I do unhide and then hide the stock battery icon from TweaksBox, I can see the status bar icons shift over slightly as if it did hide the icon.
Just out of spite, did you reboot after changing the icon? Maybe disable the module in xposed?
Yeah, I tried disabling the module and rebooting. Battery percent is there but no icon. I'm starting to think it has to do with how I restore my apps and data with Titanium Backup after a ROM install, which includes TweaksBox. I honestly don't remember if the icon was there before I restore my data. I'm gonna check next time my ROM is updated to see.

Does anyone know if it´s possible (and how) to disable the default battery indicator on the statusbar ???
I like some percentage number style on the status bar, so i´ve installed Battery Indicator Pro. But now i feel that´s no reason for having two batt indicators, so will be nice if i can disable the default one, to left only the B.Indicator Pro, wich also shows a little battery icon plus the number percentage into it.

good question, i did exactly the same and i gave up to discover how to eliminate the default indicator...anybody knows a way?
Pheeewww... I´m not sure if we can block the stock battery app on the phone boot/startup (rooted phone), but i´m not sure if that can cause some kind of freeze, or even malfunctioning of the battery indicator pro (or other battery application installed). Even if that can do the trick, i know it´s not the best way.
Hi,
How do I remove the Battery Icon and Time from the Status Bar at the top of the GUI.
Removing the status bar completely would be nice. I can hide it with this ROM but it pops up when i press menu.
I can't recall to my memory if i need that bar apart from mounting SD card, where i could probably find a widget. I also could find Miss call widget or sms widget for showing unread messages/calls on the screen. I do not know if there is but I hate having to clear the status bar.
I'm using Cronos Froyo 0.1.5.2 ROM
HTC Hero Orange, Rooted
I hope this ROM is okay. The only issue I have is the camera previews not functioning well and the phone takes longer to Boot up. I havn't tried other ROMS.
Thank you.
It's been awhile since I used it but I believe that ADW Launcher has an option where if you swipe up on the home screen it hides the status bar. Not sure if it will still appear when your in certain apps or not, but you could give it a try?

it seems that he already knows it !
Hi, Yes I know that it can be hidden from the main screen but it pops up when I press menu. Also I am not sure if when the bar is hidding, it is in the memory still? (not actually removed). But I still worry about clearing that status bar (
Ah ok sorry. If you feel comfortable editing apks then there are a few xml files in the framework-res.apk (and possibly other system apks) that reference the status bar (like spacing of icons, what order they appear in etc) that you could modify and see?
hey, thanks. ill look at how to make my own apk. its new to me so ill read about it.
Attached is a screenshot. Everytime I check notifications a weird rando number shows up in upper left corner. Weird characters show up instead of times on text messages as well. Anyone else have this issue?
Looks like an app you installed is causing that. Def a battery app. Your battery meter in the notification bar is showing the percent left of the battery which is not stock. Try checking the settings of the app you installed.

I agree. Probably that battery widget app. I would try to uninstall and see if that stops it. Then reinstall.
I have the same one I believe, and it is working fine.
I can't for the life of me figure out how you get the "notifications" and "quick settings" options at the bottom of your dropped down notification bar. How did you do that?

Battery widget wasnt the culprit
Check your DEVELOPER settings. I think there's an option in there that superimposes some info onto the screen.
I was hoping someone could create an xposed mod to add battery percentage to the second screen or change the whole icon all together.

Subscribed. Totally want this too. It does show the battery icon but not the percentage. Wonder if the Xposed mod that has percentage inside the icon would show up on second screen?
I agree. Anywhere the state of the battery is shown I would prefer to see a number value instead of the partially filled battery icon (I'd rather not have to see both as often is the case). This would be especially helpful on the 2nd screen.
this, would be great.....

G4 Tweaksbox (unlocked) shows battery % in status bar
They're talking about second screen, not status bar.
This is how I got battery percentage and battery temperature to show up on second screen. My phone is rooted but should work without root. Download Notification Toggle, enable both rows of toggles. Since the toggles duplicate OEM toggles I just disable the OEM toggles. This makes the OEM toggles shorter to swipe. Goto preferences and change the Status bar icon to battery percentage and 2nd Status bar icon to battery temperature. This will show the battery percentage and battery temperature in the status bar when the screen is on and show them in the second screen when the screen is off. The only downside if the added toggle rows in the drop down notification.
I tried at least 10 apps yesterday to show the battery percent in the second screen while the Main is Off.
All of them add the persistent notification in the notification area. Is there an app which just adds it in status bar and hence the second screen, but not in the notification? If not is there a way to hide the permanent ongoing notification of a selected app so that I can use any battery percent app?

Good news, I found an xposed module that changes the theme and shows battery percentage on only the second screen...

1.) Tap and hold the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the Quick Settings menu. After a few seconds, lift your finger and you will see a popup at the bottom telling you that the System UI Tuner has been added to your Settings.
2.) Go to your settings and into system UI tuner. (it is at the bottom of settings.)
3.) Check the box to Show embedded battery percentage.
4.) Configure the way you want your tiles displayed and in what order under quick settings. Under status bar you can turn off features you don't use so they never show as an option in the status bar.
5.) Done!

I was using this a couple of Moto versions back and kept hoping they would eventually let you replace the battery bar with nothing but a percent, but it never happened. It's so small I find myself blinking to make out the numbers.
Yeah that why I used Gravitybox with circle battery and % but my old eyes have trouble no matter what..lol

Xposed is what I"m going to miss most by not being able to root. I used Gravitybox and Flat Style Status Bar to completely change the status bar around. I have always hated the default Android status bar. I like my clock in the center and nothing but a percent for the battery.
Does this work?
Does this actually work on the G4?
I have an unlocked UK retail G4 and the cog does not spin and the System UI tuner is not added to the menu.
Could someone with a UK model please confirm if this does or does not work for them.

Works on my US G4. Pull down notification, press and hold on the gear in the top-right for 5 seconds or so, let go, System UI Tuner gets added to Settings.

Yes, tap and hold the cog in the drop down notification menu for 20 seconds (edit XT1622, dual sim from Motorola direct)
After reading around on the internet I have managed to solve this. I had turned on the developer option and changed the animation speed to x0.5. This seemed to somehow break the spinning cog.
Having now turn that off again and rebooted the cog does now spin as it should! Thanks for the help.

I tried this on a 16gb G4(US variant non-amazon) and Nexus 5x, but no dice. How long are you suppose to hold it? I tired 5, 10, and 20 seconds, didn't work.

You didn't change the animation speed in Developer Options did you? You should see it start to spin almost immediately.

Note: Don't have Animations (in Developer Options) set to Off. And then turn Developer Options OFF. Until you do that you won't get the System UI Settings added. And then reboot.

Did you try turning off the Developer Options? That's what fixed it for me.
I did this on an amazon moto G4 with the stock OEM.img flashed in. The menu shows up, and I can make it show battery% and turn off status bar icons, but, none of the "Quick Settings" changes actually take effect, even after a reboot. Not a big deal, but good to be aware of.
If you would like to have a larger battery percentage than this gives,download Clean UI launcher. In the launcher settings go to components settings and you can select battery percentage. Make sure status bar clear is turned on. This will give you an IOS style status bar. If you do not want IOS styled notification screen, make sure notification clear is turned off. You do not have to use CleanUI as your launcher for this to work. I have tried this with Nova and Google Now launchers.

That's not common, because I have the same phone and looked at another and in both the quick settings take effect.
I also had to turn off battery saver first.
But I prefer it to show % beside the battery icon not inside battery icon, old eyes.
Reboot cell removes %
