I have used the Circle battery meter, but I liked the one packaged with Captivate Voodoo and SRE ROM. I don't want to switch ROMs and it is not in the Voodoo lagfix anymore.
Does anyone know if this one is available by itself? It was the blue battery icon (stock) with a percentage number in the middle and it had a lot more visual increments.
If i can find it in an apk or update.zip i would be most appreciative.
Any other battery meter mod suggestions are appreciated.

Is there anyway to just change that without having to install a whole different rom? Thanks!
What do you mean?
I was wondering something similar (i think), that would put a percentage on the already existing battery meter. Much like the battery status app that you can download off the market.
Is that what you mean?
The battery would always be there. If you want something like a percentage then you would have to download an app from the market but the original battery will always be there.
He wants there to be a different battery color or design or something, am I correct? To find the answer to the question I would ask one of the many theme devs, they're the one's that would most likely know something about this.
You can change the battery icon in the status bar by editting the framework\res\drawable battery icons. There are only 7 of them tho, so putting in a percentage wouldn't really be feasible. You can do it, but the icons are set by the system to change only at certain intervals. They are:
100%
80%
60%
40%
20%
10%
0%
You can change the icons for each of the listed percentages. Or you could make it a written percentage in 20% increments.
the rom/theme I am using has the regular horizontal battery meter, but I like the round one and was wondering if there was any easy way of just changing that
Change the images in the framework\res\drawables.
Anyone know how to get the battery percentage to show in the battery icon in Froyo? Thanks.
moved to Q&A
cant happen until froyo source is out.
You can, but not perfect
I too wanted the percentage in the battery. In the development thread you'll see that the phoenrom has it included in the rom. I ended up making my own custom rom with the kitchen made by dsixda just to get that damn percentage in the battery icon! Its also not a very accurate measurer of percentage as it only works in percentages of 10(40,50,60etc). I still like it though.
Now that the source is out,
I tried to apply the bat. %, but failed.
I edited the xml to link to the pngs from 0 to 100.
I edited the PNGs.
Compilation warns me about bad pngs and when I reboot, the framework is totally messed up or even worst, as I unlock my phone, it just reboots...
Any help on how to do this?
I use Battery Widget (free). Takes up one icon space on your home screen (shows battery percentage in 1% increments), also allows quick toggling of Wifi/GPS/Bluetooth, and access to Screen settings.

i flashed a 2.2 desire rom on my nexus one. The rom has the circle battery icon with the number inside. I honestly just dont like it, and prefer the original green graph battery icon. Can i get some help on this?
You need morph for original battery icon. Find it in Themes & Apps section, download Metamorph or any other morph app from the Market, execute.
Hi!
How do I get a custom battery with percentage for the latest Virtuous Unity V3.9?
I tried UOT kitchen but it only crashed the ROM.. (probably did it wrong...) :/
Is it possible to get a custom battery file with a small tutorial?
Many Thanks
Not completely sure what your after, but I am currently on VU and using Battery Booster from the market place which adds a small battery percentage icon to my task bar. You can get a patch from here somewhere where the percentage is included in the stock battery symbol itself, therefore taking up less task bar spacem but you would have to search for this.
Hope that helps
Thanks
Thanks for the app reference!
It isnt bad although It less convenient than a patch which is what I was originally looking for. I'll try to look around till I find it but in the mean time the app will do.

Hi, i just change my battery icons on my sgs but theres a little problem... There's a pictures for every percentage but it only show me every 10% (100%-90%-80%...). Is there a little files that i can change to be able to see every percentage or i need to install a theme or something else then i will be able to update with the icons I want?
Thanks
I use https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sYXJyeXZncy5iYXR0ZXJ5Il0. for that purpose. It's one more incon in the notification bar but it gets the job done without the need of rooting the phone.
