I have been searching the forums all morning. I can't seem to find the name of the app that puts a power bar at the top of the screen. I came with one of the cooked roms that I was running on my wizard. If some one could point me in the right direction, I would be very happy. I loved that feature, it would go white while charging turn red when I was at about 15% battery, and it was always at the top the screen no matter what app I was running. Thanks in advance.

battery bar
sounds like you are talking about batti...or the other would be vistahide battery gauge.
Thanks so much. LOL now have two to choose from. Thanks for the quick response.

wish
wish I could have batti's features with vistahide's multi color bar.
pBar 1.5 is my favourite task manager and also can display a 1 pixel Battery Bar at the top of the screen. The bar goes from Flashing Red, Solid Red, Solid Green (0-5%, 5-10%, 10-100%). The bar is silver/grey when charging.

I'm trying to make the top bar less crowded with crap (Volume, Battery, Connection, Phone icons take a lot of space away!)
I'm using wktask and it would look a lot nicer to have a somewhat full task bar!
Thanks (I already searched and couldn't find anything)
bump anyone please?
Have you tried Kaisertweak?
In 'Today Screen' there are several options including some to disable icons in the top bar.
Hope this helps...
Good luck
Well, the only tool i can think of is wisbar advance. It can also replace wktask.
yeah wisbar costs money though. and it doesn't look that nice.
I just liked Wktasks idea of turning the top bar into a task bar like in regular windows editions.
Also: Nothing in KaiserTweak
I have a funky navigation bar. It shows the connection status (Edge/Wifi), radio bars (with edge/3g/analog), and volume next to the X/OK button, but no clock/battery. When looking at the Today screen, the volume icon is hidden, but touchable (takes getting use to). When looking at programs, I can see all 3 next to the X/OK. I'm not entirely sure which bit of tweaking accomplished this, but I did choose, in KaiserTweak, to show "Nothing" for Today Screen>Title Bar - Clock Settings, and "Battery" for Today Screen>Title Bar - Battery/Clock.
I also used an old WM5 tweak to show the clock as Analog through HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\AnalogClock as DWORD, 1
And another, HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock as DWORD, 0 and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt as DWORD, 0
Also, ArielBattery can cover whichever of those you want (but clicking the battery icon shows memory usage only).
Doesn't seem to work for me. Ugh....thought it would be an easy fix too....
Is here way to display battery drain in mA or mw within TF3D? On the home tab would be good or in the status bar. I can get BatteryStatus by ChiTai to display this info but only after disabling TF3D. On my kaiser I used to find the mA an excellent way to keep an eye on what was going on in the background with radios and data etc.
Because TF3D disables all other Today Plugins I don't tink it's possible at the moment.
Maybe it's a solution to install SecondToday from ChiTai too. You can use TF3D und Today Plugins like BatteryStatus side by side, easy to switch (TF3D <-> Today) and with Diamond like style.
Regards,
Purzel
Thanks Purzel I will give it a try. Shame they did not leave a spot within TF3D for plugins such as this to display.
I gave it a try as you suggested Purzel and the SecondToday and Battery Status combo worked. But really not ideal for me. I know there is already an application that shows % remaining overlaid on the status bar battery icon. What I have in mind is different.
Alternative status bar Battery Icon
Essentially the same Battery Icon that is there now with bars showing charge but with added feature of numerals showing mA drain. These numeral could either be overlayed on the icon or squeezed beneath it in tiny font.
The advantage of this arrangement is:
1) it would work with TF3D. This is because it would not be a today plugin. Simpy an alternative to the current battery icon on the Status bar.
2) Would enable user to always see charge remaining and current load.
I like the idea of always being able to see the load on my battery as often I have apps running in the background which are chewing through the battery. Conversely if the mA drain is low I know these apps cannot be running and all is good. Makes for an easy way to increase battery life.
I sent a message to ChiTai suggesting this as an idea for utility. However never heard anything back.
Essentially all the app would have to do is somehow ascertain current drain in mA and display it over the reaming battery bars on the icon. Nothing more. Be great if one of you clever programs could put this together. I reckon it would be popular.
Would any one else be interested in a replacement for the default status bar battery icon that worked like this?
I've tried a few battery apps for android to display battery power left in the task bar and I don't know which one is the best to use. Anyone have any suggestions?

The only one I have cared to use is Battery Status it's free. It use to have the actual number on the taskbar on its battery icon.. but that's gone now.. so that kinda sucks. But it's still easily accessible to me.
I am looking for others also, but this one is basic enough for me.
Battery Status - Free; will display the status in top toolbar and has a nice widget if needed aswell.
Can somebody point me to an app that can display the temperature directly in the status bar? BatteryIndicator only shows the percentage and I have to unlock the phone and pull it down in order to see the temp. Is there an app I can use to display the battery temperature (or CPU temperature) directly in the status bar?
Battery Status Pro does this.
[Edit] just noticed you wanted it displayed in the status bar. Don't know of one. Sorry.
I just use battery life widget on my main home screen. It shows temp right there for you on your home screen.

I don't want a widget, I just want the temperature displayed in my status bar. If you know an app that does that, please let me know.

I've seen one around, but can't remember its name.
Anyway, there's one for sure, just keep searching.
There's an app called tempmonitor but it shows systems temp not battery.... I think
Ijust searched for it and it looks like they're having trouble with it if you have froyo

Try with BatteryTime Lite
I too seek this functionality.
BatteryTime Lite gives a charge percentage in the status bar, but does NOT offer the ability to display the temperature in the status bar. You can drag down from the status bar display and see the temperature, but that is just as inconvenient as having to go look at a widget.
So, we keep looking...
Respectfully, I would like to know why this is important to you.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I am learning about over clocking, and I am concerned about overheating by running the CPU too fast. So I wanted to watch the battery temperature while I did my normal phone activities.
It looks like temperature is something that must be polled, (rather than receiving as an event) so this sort of functionality, specifically within the status bar, may be unattractive for a developer, because the polling would be more of a drain on battery and CPU, than just posting the new status when the notification comes in.
use "TempMonitor lite". It gives you a small icon in the status bar with the temperature of your battery. It's what i use for it. Good luck

Thanks!
As soon as I figured out to set the display color to white, it worked like a champ.
(The black default was invisible, and appeared non-working.)
Did someone answer this question? Interesten in app like topic author!
Found one, use battery monitor widget with a skin showing battery temp from here:http://www.3c71.com/notifications/ccc71.bmw.icons.ttc1.apk
Hi,
Can someone make a launcher with the notification bar transparent? I just noticed that the "burn-in" problem for blue background is real. I used Jscreen for 6-7 hours and 90% percent of "burn-in" problem was fixed, but It will be nice to have a transparent notification bar. This way the "burn-in" problem won't be an issue.
PS: To check if you have "burn-in" problem enter "LCD Test Mode" by dialing *#0*# then choose "red", "green" and "blue". Check the notification bar area.
Wrong section to ask a question seeing as we already have a question/answer forum
On another note, why not just get a launcher that supports toggling status bar ?
eg LauncherPro,Adwlauncher,Zeam....etc (Order does not reflect preference)

I think a question for modified launcher belongs to Development area. The poll is only secondary issue.
I like the stock launcher (it is the only one on JS3 who doesn't lag without lagfix) and tell me how do you select on other launchers the notification bar if you choose to hide it.
Is there an app to check that? I'm in cm7 and the code doesn't work beside samsung firmwares..
Swipe up to make it appear. Swipe down to open it completely.

Thank you, good to know . But it is useful only for launchers who have this option.

Jscreen. After you start Fix Stuck Pixel press Menu and choose Locate.
How does this technically fix the degradation ??
EDIT:
"Removes burn-in by equalising screen usage. "
This probably means degrading the entire screen with the hopes that the degradation will match on the burned out area
Degradation can be stopped with lower brightness, right? With apps like Screen Filter.
Hm... On the other hand, what has brightness to do with colors? On classic LCDs - nothing, hm...

I really don't think so because with Jscreenfix it's the same pattern on whole screen. If it's about degradation then pixels already damaged will be damaged more, so the difference between pixels degradation will be the same.
For this issue, I'm using this combination:
1. Use another launcher. I'm using ADW, and activate the 'Hide Notification Panel' option.
2. Activate the 'Full Screen Mode' in my browser. This will hide the notif panel while browsing. I'm using Opera Mobile.
3. Get rid the clock in the notif panel. I'm using the PaulDiddy's theme to do that. Then I use widget to display the clock.
4. Reduce the screen brightness to minimum as much as possible.
5. Any other ways that prevent too many appearence of bright static pixels will help to reduce the burn in issue getting worse.
Awww. If only I know an app call Jscreen, I will not waste my time sending my phone for service just 2 days ago (got back today).
The only thing I found so far is changing the background of notification bar as shown in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726411
I chose transparent bar.

TBH, I dont see how having a transparent bar will help vs a black bar, infact having a transparent bar will degrade it significantly faster vs black.

The problem is with pixels from inactive region of the notification bar, so it seems that degradation results from inactivity. A transparent bar will put them to work so they will not degrade anymore.
PS: the colour of the notification bar isn't 100% black, it's grey or 90% black, so maybe it's better to say Static Pixels instead of Inactive Pixels. In both cases activity seems to make them recover.
PPS: The third PNG looks more like the actual "burn-in" (the difference between colors isn't so big though).
