Froyo, battery percentage in bat icon

Is there any way to get the battery percentage as text inside the battery icon in the status bar with froyo?

the closest thing your looking for is battery indicator

Ok thanks.
So in other words, it is not yet possible to add this text to the battery icon in froyo yet?

not likely, unfortunately there is no real way to really edit the notification bar without rooting.

Yeah, sorry forgot to say that i am rooted

oh well in that case the possibilities are endless, im not rooted so im afraid my helping you ends here, lol

battery notify is the same, fully colored and free

I think that most people are waiting for the source being released to do tweaking on it.

I'm also looking for this!

Froyo just dropped on AOSP so it won't take long anymore

well got:
CyanogenMod-6.0.0 RC1
But no percentage in the battery indactor.
Any tips?
Edit:
Found it: Settings / Cyanogenmod settings/ userinterface/ battery and clock

Sorry to revive this, but was wondering if someone has something for this... I wanna keep the stock N1 ROM. Any suggestion?

Battery Percentage on Froyo

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.

You know it has been released, no?
Check to forum: a simple jar to push

need some apps that show the battery %

i find so many of them, but jest wonder who is the best apps that show the current battery percent, in the task bar or widget...

I actually use extended controls. It's a widget that looks like the standard android Power Control widget. You can customize it to have loads of controls and the battery percentage. I can't remember how much it is in the market, but its definitely worth it.

If there's a full root we could modify the framework-res.apk and get a modified battery icon in the notification bar. Way better..

My favorite: BattStatt. It's a widget for your screen. Has various sizes, and shows your battery in words.

Try BatteryIndicator

SwitchPro also does it, and worth getting anyway.

try this,
press screen or enter personalize,
chooseshortcut
then
settings
then
battery use
basic but good

I second this. Very simplistic and nice. Customizable so you can choose a color that suits your current background. Along with Tajm you'll have a nice clean setup on home screen or lock screen (Widgetlocker ($1.99) allows you to put widgets on the lockscreen along with custom sliders. I recommend a looksy).

No need to root or modify anything
just the apk you'll find there : Circular battery Indicator with % (No root required)
Works great on my DHD

Wow that is great, will use it for now!

Thanks from me too, it's great, just what I wanted!
BTW, as I said on the other thread, I just wonder if this (kind of) software could shorten battery life, having to do its duties to refresh all the time?

From the linked topic:
- the Circular Battery Indicator does not use a lot of battery resources, the device broadcasts a message when the battery status changes, the app catches this broadcast and update itself to show the right percentage, it is as simple as that, so it is extremely light weight on the CPU.

Oops, thanks, seems like I was a bit too lazy
I had read about the existence of this 'broadcast' system elsewhere, but I was worried because before of this app I used a widget (BatteryIcon if I remember) that had a 'refresh time' to choose in the settings and so I thought (that) app had to 'ask' the system the actual battery level every time. Seems like this one is much better developed so, good to be known, I like it very much, also the ability to have the 'battery use' page open in a bunch of seconds is just all I need

[Q] Battery Mod for Virtuous Unity 2.39

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.

REQUEST: Battery Percentage?

Hey guys, I really wanna have battery percentage on my GE Rom... can anyone make it so we can see battery percentage inside the battery logo

I use a free application from the Playstore called Battery Status, however that uses the left side of the statusbar rather than the right one.

update to Android 4.2.2 and you get battery percentage by Stock, go to settings then Power then check the battery percentage box

Not inside the battery icon though. Some people like to save statusbar real estate for other icons. And you can't remove the graphical battery if you enable the text percentage, so then you're left with two things telling you how much battery you have.

No idea, but with my limited knowledge, I would like to say no? Would have to ask in that thread to find out

I am also looking for .zip flashable battery percentage icons for stock ROMs. I am not looking for a third party app, rather i want something that i can flash through recovery.
I know android now lets you have a percentage beside the battery indicator, but i want to have them both in one icon.
Is it because of the limitations on Sense 5 that such a package hasn't been made yet?

Just to let everyone know, i used this mod (for base 3.62) and it works fine for battery percentage (inside battery indicator).
