I have a problem with a battery mod I just applied to my SGS.
I downloaded a set of clockwork batt icon mod that shows from 0% to 100% with 1% increments.
However after doing the necessary changes of replacing the stock files in the framework-res.apk, the icon loads but only at 10% increment and it shows a different reading as what my battery status is in settings.
i.e settings shows 44% but icon and top right shows 60%.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks

To add on, the image files I copied into framework-res.apk has images from 0% to 100%.
Thanks in advance.

The icon pack you downloaded is actually meant for this particular mod which should be installed from recovery mode to sort out the xmls and what not.

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.

Is there any way to get a battery meter in % on a stock based ROM? I'm on the CR OTA ROM.

BattStatt Is a nice widget that shows percent. Not sure if thats what you are looking for but it has a pretty clean look. Its in the market.
Battery Widget by HTC is also available.
I'm thinkin he means getting the battery status percentage up in the status bar.. like in the battery icon itself.. an option I know was in some of the CM Eclair ROMS for the g1

I use that one too. I like how you can change the display, turn on and off gps wifi and bluetooth with it.
Download the app called "Batteryminder" from the market...you can have it just have the number and percent in the status bar and no icon...you can choose either white or black, have to use white since the status bar is black
I really like "Battery Indicator" located in the market.
just download systray monitor from the market. Select battery level on the select tray sensor and it will show your percentage in the notification bar. This is the best app I've used for this kind of thing IMO plus it shows you other info like free space and available ram.
For some reason Im having a really hard time finding the circle battery mod for the battery indicater.
It is unique to you what ever ROM you are running. The file with your battery icons also contains a whole smorgasbord of other system icons. Flashing one meant for a different ROM is not advised.
There is a tutorial on how to create your own in this section. You can take your own framework file, and add the different battery icons.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here.
I flashed leaked Gingerbread 2.3.5 (samfirmware.com) to my Galaxy S GT-I9000 two days ago. Then I customized battery status icons:
1. Extracted framework-res.apk and replaced icons with some nice Android icons I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13496547. I used Winrar to open the framework.
2. Then I copied my new framework to my phone.
The icons looked great, but they are not refreshed properly. The battery status went from 80% to 60%, then to 40% and finally to 20%. It is not a draining problem since it takes hours to go from one status to another.
I doubled checked icons in customized framework and thery are named correctly. Original framework had icons for every 5% and these new icons are for every 1%. Only difference I can see is that some of the new icons are 2KB in size, instead of 1KB, but this also applies for icons for 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%.
I have not calibrated battery yet, but I think that is not the problem.
I couldn't say this behaviour is the same with original framework, since battery icons do not show percentage in that case.
Do you think it is a problem with this "official" leaked buenROM ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Well, I restored original framework and the behaviour is the same with default battery status. It must be something in the ROM.
I've noticed that the stock battery for Sense 5 turns yellow at 20% (ok) but red at 8%(random).
I've figured out how to mod the SystemUI apk to change it so that the battery turns red w/ 10% left but I can't figure out how to change the HtcPowerManager apk to reflect the changes in the large battery widget.
I know how to change it's color (by modding the drawable.xml file) but I can't change the number of bars left at 10% there are 2 instead of 1 at 10% and 9% (again, it oddly changes at 8%) even tho each bar represents 10% of the battery level.
I'm assuming it has to do with smali (java) but I can't isolate the code.
Anyone want to help me "fix" this?
