I recently switched back to the 2.3.3 OTA from CM7 and am so far pretty happy. However, I really liked the battery icons from Cyanogenmod that had the percentage next to the thin battery bar. My plan is to take the icons, put them into the framework-res.apk and push that to my phone. The only problem is that I cannot find those icons in CM7, either in the compiled download or the source. Does anyone know were they are?

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.
I work long hours and need something that allows customization yet is sleek as to look professional and MUST have a long battery life somewhere between 8-15hours. Currently running CM7 stable, however was looking a nightly builds but apparently they've stopped making them? Im not looking for the vanila bar set up, as that popped up saying "Look here first," well its not what I want.
As long as the battery life is better then CM7 I'll try it. I'm at work now and my phones almost dead. Thankfully it a short shift and I'll be home soon enough to charge and try other builds.
I've read through the forums on this device over and over again (not an easy task mind you - some threads having over 100 pages), and I've seen at least a few mentions of the latest non-hackfest Jellybean rom having the battery indicator fixed. I don't believe a rom of that variety was ever released, but I was wondering if one does exist, how hard would it be to get it, the sources and build it, or get an actual binary, etc. I'm using my old G2X extensively as an MP3 player now, and it's great except that I have to shut the device down to charge (otherwise it overheats - had to replace one battery already).
TL;DR where can I get a working battery indicator in a JB non-hackfest rom?
None of them can be used for a daily use (no phone reception, etc.).
