Does anyone have a solution for adding a battery percentage indicator in the upper bar? Widgets never seemed to be accurate with my prevoius Android phones..
Before I started flashing ROMs, I used Battery Status Bar. It worked pretty well then. Now, I just use the feature built into CyanogenMod.

Thank you, I'll check it out!
http://uot.dakra.lt/ should do the thing.
adb pull your framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk, choose your Mods, upload everything, pick up your .zip and flash via CWM. NANDroid first.
I am using Sky's ICS for the Skyrocket SG2. Ive flashed the latest update for the ROM and have a second, what seems to be, a status bar underneath the regular status bar, with just a battery icon. I can't seem to find whatever program is running that app to turn it off. Anyone know what or how to shut off that status bar?
Its battery status bar. TO remove it dload the battery bar.apk and you can remove it using the app.

I installed the battery bar.apk and went into the app. All it had was to hide the white battery bar at the top. I went through all the settings in the app and can't seem to find an option to remove the battery status bar =\.
it s the first option on the app where it says show battery bar just uncheck the box.

Yah that The "show battery bar" check box just hides the white bar at the very top of my phone. I'd post a picture but the forum won't let me =\. But yah its a battery bar UNDER the regular status bar.
So you got rid of it rite and the solution worked if it did hit that thnx button it helps to know someone appreciate the info.

Uh no it didn't fix the problem. I think there is a slight miscommunication somewhere here. I am having issues with the battery under my original status bar. It doesn't seem to be related with the battery bar mod. The battery bar mod seems to control the white bar up top which I already knew how to alter. It's this one that is right under my regular status bar. I'd post a pic but it requires that I not suck and have more than 8 post lol.
What is the problem with that battery icon?

I want it to go away. It's kinda redundant. I have the circle battery already I don't need a second battery icon underneath is =\
if your using sky ics rom with ics launcher then go hit menu then launcher settings then launcher status bar settings and uncheck show status bar (launcher)
Should take care of it.
OMG thank you! that fixed it! +1 thanks really appreciate it

I am running a rooted stock ICS OTA update on my HTC Sensation. The battery icon in the notification bar does not show the percentage of battery left. Is there a mod that can replace the stock icon with an icon that shows numbers (%) ?
I am not asking for an app the runs alongside the existing icon, I am talking about replacing the existing icon.
Thanks!

There is mate! Check your base before flashing this, but if you have the correct one, you'll be able to flash everything here.
Awsome mate! Worked like a charm! Thanks!
Since I have had my s3, i notice sometimes in my status bar i get ghosted images of my icons. For example, I have tasker installed with the ongoing notification. Sometimes when the icons change, a ghost image appears of the tasker icon, even behind a new icon. Its not just tasker, its any of the icons in my status bar on the left side. They go away eventually. Wondering if others have the same issue.
Edit- just noticed it happens on the entire status bar, left to right.
Yea it happened to me on synergy.i was running that fancy theme with aroma installer... Synergy got too bloated for my taste. Cleanrom is great.
What rom do you have
VZW GALAXY S 3 4G LTE
Currently on Synergy. I thought Cleanrom was odex, I like being able to theme my phone, seems like most themes are designed for Synergy.
Ive had this happen to me on stock. It occurs randomly and the one time I really noticed it was after updating some apps in the market. Goes away just as randomly. I hope this doesnt become a more persistent bug.
I'm trying to figure this out and can't seem to do it on my own. Is there a way to replace the little green battery in the taskbar on the stock ROM with a circular one that shows the percentage of battery left in numerical format without having to use a custom ROM or anything? Not one that runs along side it, but actually replaces it?
