How does cyanogen and all the rest get the battery % into the top bar? For instance after the froyo update if i would rather run stock but i want the battery % how would I install that?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that is in one of his framework mods. Then you would need his spare parts to enable/disable the function.
Personally I think it sucks too much battery to make it necessary to have. Battery Indicator in the market doesn't use much battery life so it runs better for me.

thanks for the reply. Does he have a section for framework mods only instead of his full rom download? if not, i guess i won't be having that feature with a stock rom

Are you sure it sucks battery to have the % there? I haven't heard of that.
For me, yes.
That would be impossible. The percent is not an app like those battery apps on the market. the percent is just additional code in the services.jar file. it's the same service that keep track of the battery the only difference here is the addition of the code is to show the state of the battery in percent. I hope this helps. One more addition, when froyo comes out it will not be included until cyanogen makes his rom.

yeah this will not be included in froyo which is why i was trying to get started on making it work, I don't think i will be successful though.
If the entire code for it its contained in one class then you could try taking the equivalent .smali from CM and putting it in your rom. Better yet copy only the lines that contain the mod

No, it wouldn't be impossible...
The original implementation of the batt % absolutely killed batteries, this has since been fixed however.
Sorry if this is wrong to do, dunno, but can anyone work some magic I'd love to have this on my Evo, battery indicator seems kinda inaccurate, not that the stock battery icon is either.
Ok just go ahead a delete this thread
Man I would love a little battery with the % in it....hope someone jump son this
A question which goes out to people who use themes, or who know about them and their effect.
Do they effect battery life, Or does that depend on the theme itself?
I was thinking something along the lines of Riptide9's full blown theme over a Sense UI
Reason I ask is because I know Sense itself eats up some good battery by just being there, so flashing over may not make a difference?
So I have updated to the latest RUU leak and things are running great, but I'm having some issues I wonder if anyone can duplicate.
I deodexed the phone and didn't have any issues, I flashed this accurate battery mod and things seemed fine, but when I wiped data after the mod was flashed it's not booting.
Now I've got a nandroid backup, so i'm not stuck or anything, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of an accurate battery mod made for the new leak?
I know two ways you can try to get an accurate reading of your battery. 1. In recovery wipe battery stats after a couple bump charges. 2. Or download battery calibration from the market. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the advice, but I was actually not talking about the battery being inaccurate, I'm looking for a mod that changes the default battery status icon in the notification bar to include a percentage of battery life left.

If your ROM is deodexed then use UOT kitchen .. because of the framework you wont find a standard mod for a battery with percentages. I personally like the honeycomb battery.
Whoops my bad. Sorry.
Thanks alot, I'll give that a shot.
Is there anything that I can flash to get a battery indicator in the notification bar that shows the percentage on stock?
I don't want to flash another rom since stock had been stable for me.

You might be able to pull the framework-res.apk from the phone and edit it, then push it back. But I haven't seen anything to prove you can. I think stock had an LG version of framework-res as well, not sure which has the battery stuff in it.
I had the Big battery Notifier installed and it showed the percentage in increments of 1%. After having uninstalled it, I find it more bearable to go all day without charging, because when I see the battery draining and dropping 1% within a few minutes, I get anxiety.
Now just seeing the battery icon, and how it displays just color to signify how much approximate charge there is, it feels more comforting just knowing it's more than half full without being very specific about it to make me nervous.
Bottom line, I suggest just leaving the stock battery indicator, or install a real specific one and get battery anxiety.
The Dark Sinister Taskbar available in his thread works great with the stock rom. Its s black taskbar with a blue percentage battery indicator.
Hi, I tried making my own and it is a flashable zip thru cwm.
It is for 2.2.2. Just try it. Make sure you do a nandroid backup in case something wrong happens.
I already tried it with eb1.05, sinister1.2, ultimate1.0 and stock.
