I found from this thread:

The screenshot is attached.
Do you know which application is used?
it can be found HERE .. but be warned, I don't think it will work with the stock ROM for the TyTN II .. at least it didn't work for me when I tried to install it.
Thanks wattsja, it looks dangerous, so I skip this
Working fine in my device, must install first sdkcerts.cab and then one off the other flavours.

i've just bit the bullet and installed it and it worked fine for me.
(I made sure sdkcerts was installed than run the bottom cab on the first post)
I now have a battery icon with the percentage on top.
Your Milage May Vary, but it worked for me.
Flubster
Stand by while I retry ......
EDIT2: Restarting now ......
Edit3: Well, slap me around and call me Susan .. it works. Must have been some other program that clobbered it the first time I installed it. I am happy now!
For the record .. I used the 1st cab (after the sdkcerts) for the full color battery.
I installed Batti: http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/
I like the option of displaying a few pixels at the top of the window to represent the battery life left. It saves me from having to keep an actual battery icon in the menubar.
Batti has memory leak issues...
Extra Special Battery Icons are great, but it shows the status only by 10% jumps. Someone should do a updated Kaiser version of this.
Just checking....the battery percentage only shows 100%, 90%, 80%.... right? It does really show the exact amount like maybe 87% or 63%. Can someone confirm this.

Right - it does for me too...
No battery indicator
Hoping somebody can help me here. I flashed new radio software and my battery indicator has stopped working shows main battery as Unknown (and no indication in the meter). Downloaded Batti in the hope that it would kick start something.
Batti works OK but the battery percent is unknown and the voltage is 0.000v. Phone charges OK but the orange LED doesn't come on either.
I need the radio software to make the SMS work on Orange
The "low batt" icon kicks in too quick in my rom. In fact I never get to see 1 bar of power, it goes from 2 bars to "low batt" directly.
I want to change the power threshold for the "low batt" icon to 10%. Is it done in the registry or is hard coded in dlls?
Many thanks!
I just browsed through the registry and found this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Power
The key contains the different states of the battery and the percentage levels. Change the values to alter the behaviour of the battery icon.
Good luck!
good find...
I think it controls the bars displayed in the main battery icon, but I still cannot control when the normal 3-bar icon changes into the red "critical batt" icon, currently set at 40%.
searching the forum I came upon this thread, I'll try and ask over there:

Hi There
I've searched and tried a few programs to display my Network signal strength on my today screen as a percent.
PhoneAlarm was too bloaty and I couldn't find a skin that displayed just the signal percent. (plus the skins are dog ugly)
I found CommsManager Pro, but it had nothing to display on the Today screen.
The other thing that would be just as good is to turn the bar strength icon on the title bar at the top of the screen into a percent.
If anyone knows of a program, cab or hack to get either of these things that would be excellent.
Thanks in advance.
From what i know, even if you find such a program, it would be useless. signal strength is very "relative"...

BatteryStatus today plug in does it... pretty well at that.
I used battery Status for a while, but for some reason found that it caused my battery to run down much quicker.
Over night it would go from 100% to 78% with Battery Status installed, with out it it would go from 100% to 97% in the AM.
I thinnk that was with my 8525 , so never used it on my Tilt. Just check for that, and see if it causes you the same issue.
I think it'd be great if somebody could come up with a new battery gauge to replace the current icon with just a percentage being shown. Seems like that'd be simple??
Actually, I think the gauge is not correct. I looked at the status and it indicated the battery are about 40% left while the gauge shown over 50% ~ 60%. Very inaccurate.
I also noticed this issue. The visual display of the battery icon looks like there is more battery left. The percentages are always lower. I also would love to get the percent of battery left instead of the icon.

Sign me up if we can figure this out! there are apps in rhetorically marketplace that add this to the notification bar but a complete replacement would be nice.

I use a free app called "battery Idicator." works perfect.
I think the battery icon is only showing 4 or 5 stages of battery life, and it's very underhanded because it shows more than what it actually has.
a full battery is > 75%
slight sliver is 74% - 50%
orange is 49% - 25%
red is < 25%
I would love to have the icon replaced with something more accurate.

I agree, battery indicator is great but I would prefer an icon replacing the actual incon instead of having two battery icon
yeah same, would be better!

yea, i dont know that ive seen that tho, only on custom ROMs. Im sure someone will chime in to correct me if im wrong tho!
Battery Level is pretty handy. Not a lot of features, just puts a percentage in the notification bar. What I like about it is that it's a box with the number, and not a stylized battery, so it looks less redundant with the stock battery meter still displayed.
The battery indicator sucks. It shows 80% charge at 41%, and 50% at 39. The steps it takes are way too large.
I use Battery Status Pro to get a status bar icon with an accurate percentage, and would love to figure out how to get rid of the stock icon.
There is a mod here:
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/themes/(mod)remove-battery-icon-from-status-bar/
...but the odds of it working on our Captivate are low. I haven't tried it out of fear of bricking the device, even though it's exactly what I'm looking for.
This is nothing new with samsung. It was the opposite on Eternity 50~60+% showed 2 out of 5 bars.
I use battery widget, shows 5 bars on the home screen with the percentage clearly overlapping the bars for easy read ability and when you tap it, it pops up a window with 4 buttons that are shortcuts to the settings page that will allow you to turn off wifi, gps, and bluetooth and a button to bring you to the display settings.
I no longer have to go into settings -> about phone -> status just to chekc my actual battery percentage.
It will never get fixed by samsung so no sense in complaining, find an alternative you like.
When I Have Fewer Battery Bars, My Power Drops Quickly Why Is That On My SGH-i897 (Captivate) Phone?
The battery icon display consists of seven visible levels. Some levels have different values depending upon on pattern of use.
From a fully charged state, L6 is 100%, L5 is 80%, L4 is 60%, L3 is 40%, L2 is 25%, L1 is 10%, and L0 is 5%.
Guys, I am using a metamorph theme called ClearBar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743358
The battery icon there changes according to colour etc. and seems more fair and accurate, though still a little optimistic.
The problem I think is because the steps are too large: 100, 80, 60, 40, 20 and 0.
I have 'Gauge battery Widget' (1x) on my main home screen. I calibrated against the Captivate's own gauge (Settings > About Phone > Status ... see Battery level) and they match 100% (perhaps the widget just reports that value graphically?). But, the cartoon of the battery status in the banner at the top of the screen overstates battery life until one get unto the orange and red zones (above those zones, who really cares?).

In addition to this you can also use the BlackBar theme that was posted here a little while ago, it uses the same metamorph theme so it changes your icon completely. Ill throw up a link when i get on my desk top but the tread should be towards the top of the apps theme forum.

I recently got the root rights on my Android 7.0 Blu Vivo 5R using these instructions and files. Ever since I did that the battery charge icon does not show the exact percentage. The icon is still there, and you can roughly estimate the charge by it, but the exact numbers are missing. If I remember correctly, the numbers used to be to the side of the icon. Now they only appear when the charge is 15% or lower, and they appear inside the icon. I'd like to change it to the way it used to be.
Google says I have to unlock the System UI Tuner. "Pull down your notification shade, then pull down a second time to show the Quick Settings panel, then long-press on the gear icon for a few seconds until it starts to spin". The thing is, my quick settings panel appears at pulling up, not down, and it does not have a gear icon to press on. Also tried the " Battery Percent Enabler" app, didn't help.
EDIT: The solution is stupidly simple: "Settings->More settings->Hardware->Battery->Styles of battery percent in status bar". Found it by accident. I'm surprised no one answered.
