Looking for battery percentage mod

I have looked all over and found this mod for the nexus but thats it. Anyone know of this mod for the hero that they could link me to. I want the battery indicator with percentage, not an app, but to replace the stock battery indicator.

Please move to mod/theme forum

Talk to Darch, he has that in his Darchdroid rom.

Sorry.. this is the theme app forum. The only other subforums for cdma hero are accessories, general, and development. Wasn't sure where to place it, however don't see a "mod" section at all..
None the less, move it if you need to, still looking for this mod. I will try to contact who you suggest

It was originally posted in the development forum where it didn't belong. It has correctly been moved to the theme forum now.
I would love to have this mod work with Sense. I have seen the mod the OP is referring to on the N1, and it is pretty brilliant.

I've already talked to Darch about the possibility of getting this on a ROM such as DamageControl. His response was that is wasn't possible without having the code for the .29 kernel. I'm guessing since his is AOSP, he can put it in his ROM more easily. Just a guess though, I know little about programming, code, etc.

Thats unfortunate. I would love to have this.

I know it's not a mod, but I use the Battery Indicator app to display battery percentage in the taskbar...it's free, light, and has worked great since day 1.

Until we get an actual OS mod, I'll be using this app.
Again, don't flame, just trying to provide a temporary solution.

I'm sure if someone like JsChiSurf (he seems to be the king of mods on these forums ) wanted to, they could make it work for u guys. I would too, but i could care less about a sprint leak based rom. lol.

Sorry Darch

Excuse me Darch, I was confused with something else and did not mean to put words in your mouth. We did exchange PMs about it but your response said we'd need the source code for a sensui rom to be able to do that. Again, please accept my appologies, there was no ill intent there, just confusion on my behalf.

How do we know your who you say you are!
I use BatteryLife widget by Curve Fish and love it, it keeps the percentage accurate all the time. I think in the 2.2 build under the cyogenmod settings there is an option to add the battery percentage to the icon on top, but thats probably not helpful if you dont want to stray from sense.

I wanted this as well and noticed darch had the battery percentage indicator within his spareparts settings so I tried to pull his spareparts.apk and push it over to fresh 2.3.3 Rom but that didn't work cuz nothing showed up in my app drawer or within the settings menu. I really want this mod as well but for now I'm using the battery widget by geekyouup which only takes up 1x1 on your screen and it can toggle/open your WiFi/how/bluetooth/display

[ROM]Damaged_BURST.v3.FINAL

hello everyone. heres another one of those crazy things i do here. this time i built on damage so i could use dconfig again. I had the idea to put this together when i saw koni's transparent mod,then the aosp zip and burst's theme. This is mish mash of all of that work+ some of what i do. since its built on damage and the biggest add on to theme was burst's theme. But while i was ripping them apart i realized that the aosp theme was basically using the same framework as burst with a few tweaks. Then got it to boot. I did have some serious issues with the kbs and the notifier but i learned what i was doing and fixed it then decided to post...Didnt take as long to finish this(about a day), because i didnt do ALL the themeing. I just found it and mixed it all together with some of my own tweaks added in both visually and performance wise.
HERES WHY YOU SHOULD FLASH:
1 CUSTOM BOOT
1 CUSTOM HTC KB (THEMED GREEN)
1 LATIN_IME MT KB FROM DROID_X
1 HTC_IME MOD
4 INTERACTIVE LWP FROM...(sorry i forget what device)
1 INVISABLE taskbar by KONIKUB
1 THEMED HTC clock widget(by me)

andro for file browsing and app backup
dconfig for tweaking(thank treve)
updater for new roms and themes ota
sys tray (to monitor ram)

Holy moly!!!

hey awesome rom. I was wondering if you could put all the wallpapers you use in a .zip file? That would be awesome for us to download. THanks for the hard work!

Does the 3VO appear over the phone like in the screenshots? If it doesn't, I'm all over this.

That's unfortunate. I love the look of the ROM otherwise.

Sorry to be the debbie downer but I think it looks garbage. :/ A bunch of poorly done photoshop filters slapped into a single rom. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

i must say this looks better than the previous RED theme.

so do I flash this by itself? or do I flash it over DamageControl's ROM??

Damn..this is nice and fast. The customizations is great. Nice job!

Do you know where I can get the HTC News Widget? I don't see it in here.
Thanks

i flashed this and the screen does not look like those pictures on post one. the taskbar is white with white fonts so the time is invisible.

if anything you should be downloading the rom and then ripping it apart and learning how to do what i do. Then MAYBE ill have a little respect for your opinion and what you have to say about me or my work.I am not a dev nor to i claim to be.it is your choice to choose this rom. so what was your reason?
your right; those 1000+photos did take me some time to filter EACH INDIVIDUAL FILE,then integrate the two themes and add konis transparent taskbar(took me a bit) then make it all boot. ive not had bootloop with neither of my mods so far on evo.had it all the time on cdma hero
thank you for your opinion and keeping on topic.but did you flash the rom? as the op states; its a prerequisite to posting in this thread. If not please follow the rules or dont post. Thanks

I hope not cus thats version 1 or 2 and i didnt ul either of those betas. ill double check the link and upload my personal that i just flashed 8hrs ago. So far it performs well w/o configuring dconfig. im on 70% battery after heavy use.not sure if thats good or bad. Its acceptable to me, but not remarkable like damager.FYI​

Had a lot of problems, lots pf FCs and random system restarts.....

i havent had any fc's yet. please list your procedure so i can see what the problem is. i test everything extensively before i put it up for others. that would be very bad if i put up roms before i got them working then told pps i support them...

By any chance have you had luck with flash in the browsers? I'm currently using your finisher rom but would love to switch to this one, however if the flash issues still stand I'll try a different one for the mean time. Looks great BTW.

wasnt sure if i was just crazy, but i posted this in my finisher thread as a bug i found 3days after running it. When i went use a site that needed full flash(shockwave) adobe test said my sware was 10.blablabla and that it installed correctly. well i used my site and tried to use a java music player and when it goes to play, browser dissappears (no fc just gone) It worked fine before, but i thought maybe i was mistaken. no one responded so i figured it was just a problem for me. I NEVER edited anything with the wlan-ko, the browser or anything internet releated, so i cant narrow down the problem. Also, this is a damage based so not sure whats going on with this issue. if i find anything ill definately pm you. if you hear anything ill ask you do the same. thanks.

I completely agree with him, and the fact that people (including myself) have told you your forums fonts are annoying and obnoxious doesn't seem to sway you. I'm going to defend him as he was only stating him opinion; which he is completely entitled to.
AND, if anything...with the attitude you have towards development, why don't I see instructing threads from you?

did you flash the rom? if not please refer to ops. i am not a dev,instructor,or teacher. i am a tinkerer that ul's his roms so that anyone else like himself can have the same. I personally dont care if you ever read another word i type. cant really understand why you think your voice or opinion is SO valuable, or why you are any different from any of the other 20million haters out there. I cant see the "mod" title under your user name, so im pretty sure im completely safe in completely ignoring any outlandish,whiny requests you may have. Did the site just become facist overnite and maybe i missed something?Obivously my threads are riddled with the fonts you speak of so why bother to read them or post off topic comments that do not follow the ops in them? also, i do not encourage YOU or anyone else to keep their opinions to themselves. i welcome adversity. i can tell however, that you do not, since something simple as font/color which is our tool to use freely is able to prejudice you toward me or what i do here. it lets me see immediately how closed minded you are, and obviously would not like my work(it goes w/o saying that what i do is not for the normal crowd_more well received by the out of the box style of thinkers), so its no surprise that you would come to another haters defense.no loss to me boss.keep up the good fight, keep discouraging developers on the largest android dev site......glad im not a dev or i might be a bit offended by your words...if you want to whine more just pm me. this is a thread for rom related issues and developement as stated in the op in LARGE COLORED FONT, not the why i dont agree with the ops decision of fonts/sizes thread....WHY not go post in a thread where you LIKE the work? just another one of those crazy thoughts i have, just like those CRAYYYYYYZY FONTS.......Why hate on me? does it pay THAT well?
SOMETHING tells me that you dont get invited to a whole lot of parties.....ID be mad too.(is this color a little better for you?)

Guys,

What is the obsession with battery %?

I suppose its a different strokes for different folks sort of this but I just don't get it.
Why do people feel the need to know the exact amount of battery they have left? Can they just not look at their battery and see...
Green: Means your good.
Yellow: Means you need to find power soon.
Red: Means don't use your phone.
Why clutter up the notification bar any more? And don't get me started on all the "real" looking icons people try to put up there. [who needs a usb stick in their status bar. really. Its ugly.][IMO][I know some people like it. I just don't.]
For instance...the smooth sense mod. That is really a nice piece of work. The standard sense battery, the circle one, and many other mods. But no one ever made the standard sense battery without the %.
Once again I just don't get it. And some devs kill roms by adding the % as standard instead of an optional add-on. I personally have looked over many roms because of this single topic.
Any way. Discuss....

many people including me like to see the exact percent of battery we are at. Its a personal preference I guess
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

you are dreaming if you think that number is any where near accurate.
if it was then i might agree with having a percent indicator.
there is a reason these are not stock.

the battery percentages seem accurate. can you please explain how they aren't?

They are just that....obsessions. We all have our OCD's
One week I want the % to see. The next I don't bother. Then back to needing it

Yea I'd like to know how its not accurate. My battery is charged at 100% and dies at 0% hows that inaccurate?

Because our phones die before 2% to stop you from destroying your battery and they only charge to 90% for the same reason
Unless u have a modified kernel
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

Speaking on behalf of the tech crowd, it just makes us feel more in-the-know.
If you're jumping in 25% increments it would indicate that 85% & 65% are both the same ... 75%. I just feel more comfortable seeing the actual number present, even if the % isn't 100% accurate.

Even though this really should be posted in general or q&a... Metamorph is your friend...if you don't like a battery get a morph and apply it. If you want one from a certain rom/theme with or without % pull the framework-res crack that sucker open and go to res/drawable-hdpi/drawable-hdpi-v4 and pull the images and make your own morph or mod your framework-res apk. Its really just comes down to preferences. And this topic should be in general or q&a not themes/apps as its not really relevant to theme development imo .
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

No obsession. I just like it.

This is a very good question. It just comes down to personal preference, I hated it so much, I learned how to decompile an .apk basically just to learn to un-hack this MOD. No idea why I dislike it so much, I think it's because I'm a stock kinda guy.

haha I did the same thing on Skyraider, love the rom hate the battery %

according to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871051 our batteries actually do charge to 100%, but then stop and that is why the battery goes down so much after you unplug it.

Section Nazi. j/k A mod can feel free to move this to any section they see fit.
In some cases I have done this. But in others, such as the smooth sense mod, I tried and could never get it to work. I went into the thread and asked for a %less version and not one person attempted to help. Other users requested it as well. [NOTE: I stopped going to the thread due to poor battery life on sense roms. It may have been addressed sense then.]
I just don't understand why devs wont make it an option to have either. By only offering one or the other you cut your possible user base.

Whops, only supports CM7 and normal battery indication with added percentage, not segmented. I was hopeful when I saw some of the other styles, but they don't apply to SNS/MoDaCo.

Did MoDaCo deodex the ROM?
If so, you could probably edit in the battery mod you're looking for. It involves editing the frameworks file. It's not a trivial task, but not overly complicated either. I had trouble my first few tries on the i9000, but got it down eventually. There's plenty of guides here in other forum sections on how to make your own mod.

I've edited battery images for MoDaCo battery icons. You just have to be sure you're exchanging images one for one.

That won't help then. For the segmented circle ones you need over a hundred images. If MoDaCo's using the stock battery indicators, there's not that many.

[Q] Theme compatability

hey guys,
first how do i flash a new theme? just though recovery and cwm? do i need to wipe any data or anything?
second, how do i know what themes are compatible with what roms? i really want the circle battery meter on the upper toolbar with the actual battery percentage.
thanks!

I am almost positive they work on any ROM...also avoid calling them "themes" use the term add-ons

o, ok great...
do you have a suggestion for a good battery meter? not a widget but one showing up on the upper toolbar.

http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
I know there are a ton of them in the dev section, I always come across them, just never when I'm actually looking for one...

You would be talking about a battery modification. Technically themes and modifications are almost the same thing.
They are flashed through cwm recovery much like a rom is. Though generally it is good to wipe the cache and dalvik.
Also no not all battery modifications are compatible with every rom. Different roms have different framework. Generally if there is a battery mod the dev will specify as to which rom it is specifically for. So as a good rule of thumb check the thread for the rom you are using to see if it has any modifications that you can use. If it doesn't, but you do happen to find a modification that you like, ask the dev (of the rom you are using) if it is compatible, or if they would be willing to make a compatible version.
