Hi there can anyone help, I noticed Google has added an official battery percentage indicator into Lollipop. However it only shows up active when the phone is plugged into power charging and also only shows up on the lock screen (see screenshot from N5).
Is there a way to enable this permanently as none of the apps out there really cut it for this feature, is there a thread on this topic as I cannot seem to find one??
I guess on stock ROM you have to live with what you've got. There are a few apps out there which can show a notification on the left side of the statusbar. But that's not a good solution.
Nearly every custom ROM supports changing the battery symbol though (with percentage / without ...)

Much appreciated for the response experience7! sorry my bad, my poor explanation I'm happy to run a different ROM etc but was wondering if this modification can be done with say an adb cmd under root if it's just a flag within lollipop or is the only way with a ROM?? if so can you recommend one that's as close to stock as possible for Nexus 5 that allows this as there is so many?
You could try stock ROM with Xposed Framework.. I'm pretty sure there's some kind of customization module which lets you handle how battery icon / percentage should look like and when they should be visible. Not sure if GravityBox is compatible with Lollipop yet.
I read somewhere that Cataclysm ROM should be stock-based with lots of features! There's a thread here on xda-developers Maybe read OP / search / ask there if it has the option

I have googled the heck out of google, and searched a few forums and my head just spins. I see that there are many custom roms that offer the change, but Im not interested in customs roms at the moment. Is there a zip file that I could add?
If i missed something, sorry for adding another thread on the matter...
My Evo is rooted, and Im using Launcher Pro.
search for smooth sense mods
I am running Cyanogen MOD, which has that as an option, but I also use a widget you can download for free in the market called BATTSTATT. You can have it display the battery percentage written out or numerically. It is really nice looking, granted it is a widget and perhaps not quite what you are looking for.
For the stock rom I use Battery Indicator, it adds a percentage to the upper left in your notification bar.
My XT720 is using Rom Dexter's Froyo and when i want to know how much the battery left it has, i must use some widget suchas Battery Life, and it take some Ram Memory, about 3-5MB Ram.
So.. i wonder if it could use another battery status by changing it. at sample, the HD2 or Moto Cliq can use update.zip to change their status bar and it's icon.
you could have change the theme as you favorite....another apps to try Battery Calibration
I have a similar question In a thread regarding the LG evolution they managed to do a battery mod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156721
I tried several times and almost bricked my microsd only to find out later that clockwork isn't compatible with xt720 in addition to being ever so finnicky.
If the above instruction do not work then would it be possible to run this through Metamorph quite like how someone did the Gingerbread theme-ing.
I applied that one with relative ease
Thanks to any and all who come up with something or contribute some relevant knowledge im missing
You can use metamorph to change one icon or zipthemer to change a group of them all at once. Zipthemer also creates an undo.zip in case you want to go back to previous.

I just saw that in the windows phone 7 launcher (available free in android market), there is an option in the launcher settings (under status bar options) which whch says: Display current battery percentage. After ticking that option, the battery percentage appears in the status bar! As far as i know, this is the only launcher which this feature. Hope that helps!
I don't know but I do know the new XDA special beta2 is a nearly perfect ROM with battery accurate at 10% increments. Thats the best I've seen. Also Widgetsoid is pretty cool.

I tried metamorph and Zipthemer but the best way i can put it is;
Its missing the Theme Control File
So i threw one in and even then, no dice
I guess clockwork doesn't need a Theme control file??
And i guess this framework is limited to that phone model
Guys,
Do I stand any chance of finding stock ROM, but with following mods?
Volume up or down wake up screen
Turn on flashlight on long(2 sec) volume up or down while screen turned off. Turn it off on volume key up or down.
Wake up lock screen on double tap
Google calendar with text in month view
Remove google apps including Google search bar
Advanced reboot menu
Android 4.3 dialer
% instead of battery
Thanks :good:
Check the development section, read the OPs of all the ROM threads, pick the one that best suits your needs.

Stock ROM, rooted with xposed installer. Gravity Box KK for most of your feature requests. Titanium Backup to remove or freeze the apps and features you want removed. Simply install alternative launcher, no root needed, to change search bar behavior. A thread is in the Themes & Apps section about adding full text to Google Calendar, or use a third party calendar app.
Search, research, simply browsing these forums will bring you all your answers.

Unfortunately I have no Android skills to implement all thes features separately, its too advances stuff for me, therefore I was hoping for ROM with them built in.

Honestly, if you can't root and install a few apps from xda and the Play Store then there is no way you should be flashing a custom ROM.
Read threads. Research. Learn. Xposed is simply a collection of apps. Titanium Backup is an app from the Play Store. Search Bar simply needs another launcher, such as installing Nova Launcher from Play Store.
Really, flashing a custom ROM is much more "work" than all the individual steps that I listed.
Not trying to come off as a jerk, just don't want you borking your device without actually understanding what you are doing. None of the requests you made Require a custom ROM, and all of them are more simply implemented without using a custom ROM.

The problem is that every mod/tweak thread is full of terminology, which is understandable only to Android wise people. There is no consistent way of implementing mods, as every developer choses his own way of doing things. If there would be just one way of installing a mod, then there would be no problems. Imagine, for example, one program to run which would ask you to browse for file to be installed, few clicks, reboot and its done, you have modified your Android or installed a new feature.
I have been reading forum for so many weeks, but I still cannot get my head around this all flashing/modding etc. I`m not the stupidest person on the planet, but I can`t get it because there are soooo many ways of doing same one thing and developers use whatever option they like. You really have to understand writing code/Linux.
But I love Android as OS and Nexus 5 is amazing phone, hence I jumped from iOS. Shame I`m just not able to use it to its full potential and enjoy as I would like it.

Well the development section is supposed to be meant for ROMs that are built off the stock ROM, and original
development would be for full custom ROMs built from AOSP source. Though with the Nexus devices it seems there is a lot of grey area when it comes to dev and original dev.

Xposed Framework IS exactly as easy as installing an app, choosing from a list of mods, downloading them, then rebooting. That's exactly what you described that you are looking for.

+1. All my devices are stock + Xposed. No need for a custom ROM anymore.

Hence the purpose of Xposed Framework. Xposed is an app that allows you to have some of the front-end features and granular control of custom ROMs while keeping the Stock ROM on the backend. All it requires is root access. Once you're rooted you simply sideload the Xposed installer. Then from within the Xposed Installer, you install the Xposed Framework. Finally once Xposed Framework is installed, you download modules from within the Xposed Installer that suit your needs i.e. GravityBox.
Thank you very much, will start with that then.
Greetings guys,
I'm about to flash a ROM on my device (nexus 5), but I'm not really into trying every ROM to see what i find the best for me, since i'm not that experienced. I have a couple of need's and would like to ask you guys which ROM have all of the features I am looking for or at least most of them. If for exemple you know a ROM that have almost all of this features and i can have the others by installing an app that needs root, that also works for me.
The features that i'm looking for:
1) change/move quick toggles
2) add quick kill all tabs in the tab button
3) LED colour control depending on the notification
4) change sleep animation
5) change battery and other icons colour/shape
6) Pie control
7) better gallery than stock
8) lockscrean features + see notification
9) Switch between songs with long press volume buttons
10) control brightness by swapping the notification bar
11) active display
12) disable printscreen notification
13) change locking screen animation
14) ok google
15) Power menu
16) quick lunch shortcuts
17) navigation bar options (colour/add more)
18) app opps
19) torch
20) Imersive mode
21) Resize navigation bar
22) Adaway
23) Other usefull tweaks / not battery drainer / Snappy and stable
Like i said before, i'm kind of a newbie around here, so i would be really appreciate if you could help me in this one.
Regards

Will have a look! Any other ROM suggestion guys?
I do not know which ROM you would like the best, but read users' ratings and make your decision then. By the way, the "best roms, apps" threads are not allowed on XDA.

I didn't ask for the best ROM.. I asked for the ROM that has the features I'm looking for.. No need to have that attitude..

You can read users ratings and see video reviews. With this way can take a first look on the ROM. Also, you can see screenshots (if any has been uploaded).

Create your own custom rom is the best way to get all the features you're looking for
Sent from my N986 using xda premium
You're asking for too much, I think only PacMan is enough since it combine everything. Without active display then Slim Roms may do it for you. AOKP could also do it, it might not have Active Display yet due to being early with KitKat, but will soon. Some other stuff you're asking for does not require custom roms like Okay Google and Adaway. It's not even possible because Google Search is proprietary and can not be added to the rom to be distributed (without GMS licensing).
Most of the things you're asking for could be enabled with Xposed Framework and Gravity Box. I think it's better to learn to implement features you need in various ways instead of looking for a custom rom that have everything you want which never will.

My main suggestions are: SlimKat and CyanogenMod 11.

Sorry but I closed this thread...no matter how you word it or specific you are, this is still a best ROM thread and these are almost always closed.
Please take a little time to explore the Nexus 5 development sections, there are a lot of cool things to try out and maybe you will find some features you really love that aren't on your list...yet. :laugh:
Im wondering if there's a mod to change to battery icon to include a battery percentage Im running 4.4.2 (build number KLB20.9-1.10-1.9.1). Im not really looking to change from a stock ROM but prefer seeing my battery percentage rather than guessing it or going to settings to have a look.
There you go.

If you're rooted, install Xposed framework and then use Gravity Box, it has exactly what you need.

I am using this and this is wonderful and serves the purpose ( still on stock with no root).
The problem with the app mentioned in the second post is you will be able to see the percentage only when it is around 40-50%..
