How can I enable the battery percentage on my Pixel?
Swipe the notification tray down.
Then hold the setting button, it looks like a bolt or cog.
Hold it for a few seconds the let go.
You'll see system tuner pop up in setting menu.
Tap that and go to status bar and it'll be at the bottom.
Good luck!

That requires a modification. If you care to and are rooted, flash this via Twrp. Select the very last option first (base). Hit finish, on next screen select check box at the top and hit finish again. This time select either percent with battery icon or without. Hit finish and finish again. Always make a backup first.
There are other mods in the theme section that will get you there too.

Might help to install busybox into system first

Edit: I might have misunderstood. The systemui tuner method will give percent inside the battery. The mod method gives you percentage beside or instead of the battery icon.
Thanks. I may root it soon.
i have no mods and battery percentage...its an option in setting like the first reply suggested

Why is is inconvenient? Perhaps you misunderstood? Pull down the notification area, press and hold the settings icon until you see a message that says system tuner has been enabled (or some such thing). Then go into settnigs, scroll to the bottom and you'll see system tuner there. Touch it and enable the battery percentage there. It puts the percentage in the battery icon in the status bar. Only has to be done once.

Hey I just came over from Sprint and got the Pixel. I am 100% stock unrooted and long pressing the settings icon does nothing. I have even found a YouTube video showing this method and it simply doesn't work. I am on the latest February patch, could this patch have changed this and it's no longer available? Not knowing the percentage on the fly kinda sucks.

It should still work but I've heard stories of some people both on Nexus 5X and Pixel having difficulties getting it activated.

Is there a way to get Immersive Mode on Jelly Bean?
With semi transparent status bar which appers when one swipes down on the top? like in kitkat
Hi, unfortunately, currently there isn't anything exactly like Kitkat's Immersive mode, and transparent status bars, while possible, the process of enabling them on your device is very technical and potentially dangerous for your device.
HOWEVER. I can tell you that there is a way to get something similar to Immersive Mode. I'll guide you through it.
First off, you need root. I can't explain this because the rooting process is different for each device, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
Now, you'll need to download Xposed Installer. Just search for that on Google and you should find it no problem. Download and install the apk. Open the app, and allow superuser access. Now, tap Framework, and tap on Install/Update. This will install the Xposed Framework, which is needed for this process. Reboot your device by tapping Soft Reboot, Reboot, or just turn your device off and then turn it back on.
Next, open Xposed and tap on Download. This will list all kinds of things called Modules, which do fancy things to your device. Look through and find Gravitybox [JB] and tap on it. Download it by scrolling down, and when asked to install, do so. Now, back out to the welcome screen, and tap on modules. Gravity box should be listed, but if it isn't just wait for a minute or two, and it should appear. Tap on the check box to the left of the icon, and reboot your device like you did before.
Provided everything has gone OK, you're in the home stretch. Open Gravitybox from the app drawer, and if asked for superuser permission, say yes. You'll see a list of a lot of things, but you want to tap on Display Tweaks. At the top of the list is a setting for Expanded Desktop Mode. Tap on it and select hide both, and you're done!
Now, whenever you want to hide the status bar and navigation bar (That's the top bar and bottom bar), just hold the power button to open your power options, and select the option to enable Expanded Desktop Mode! When you want to switch back, just repeat those steps!
Let me know if you need any more help!
All the best,
- Zero

Hey all, since we don't have root or custom ROM's yet, what are some of the must have apps to add additional functionality you find missing from your favourite roms? Things like additional tiles for the notification tray, etc. I'm looking for whatever you can't live without!
@mikeandjaimie
Immersive mode is cool,especially for video/games:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone/how-to/tip-immersive-mode-root-required-t3714812
An Ad blocker is #1 on my list,whether rooted or not.
For unrooted,I go with Block-This:
https://block-this.com/
Real easy to use:
1) Choose whether to have auto-start on boot
2) Whitelist on a per-app basis

Nope. It works for me im using the three branded. When it vibrated there should be a toast notification saying its active. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the settings and there should be an option called system ui
I tried in many ways to disappear the time from the top bar with no results, do you know a way to completely disappear or eliminate the time from the top bar? This above all to show more notifications on the upper bar, thank you.
Would love to know this too!
Unlock System UI Tuner either with a launcher like Nova or a app like short cutter which is great by the way. You should be able to hide anything that shows up in the status bar

I understand what you're saying, but if it accesses the same system UI tuner built into Android that Nova does, it's not going to change or fix the issue.
When time is removed from the status bar, it comes back on exit. Removing other icons simply doesn't work. Is this the case for others as well?

What's up with the attitude? I tried it, yes it's the same thing, yes it suffers from the same issue. The clock in the status bar always comes back
Every now and then I'll see a stick figure icon on the left side of my status bar by the clock and on the lock screen/aod in a bubble.
when I unlock the phone or pull down the notification panel any info disappears.
Anyone know what this little guy is for and how to get rid of him?
and the screenshot is.................? kinda hard to help if we don't see what it is..
The only icon I can think of that resembles a stick figure is the SMART THINGS icon.

It;s a stick figure, like the stick figure that was coming up on peoples nav bar on 8's and 9's for accessibility settings
it looks JUST LIKE THIS ONE IN THE PINK CIRCLE without the dots under it but its a icon by the clock
When you need a hug. Push this. That makes you more accessible.
here are screeenshots, I got it in action.
It has something to do with one of the apps I enabled in accessibility mode.

If you tap on the icon and bring up that app's notification settings, there may be an option to never notify for accessibility notifications.

Thanks, no clue then. It must be one of the apps, maybe the Galaxy HZ app having access to screen as it shows the stick figure in the notification as well. Check the app in Accessibility settings and try disabling it.

Weather neon, TONS of customizations for it, from dozens of widgets of all sizes down to changing colors of every piece individually.
that's just the notification one I liked but there are a ton more, and a big main one with different clocks

My stickfig has a purpose, I can dim the screen at night or brighten it up. The icon comes up when you slide out the 'stick'. You can park this feature anywhere, to enable go to 'visibility enhancements' >>'extra dim'(screenshot is from S22)
So I'm guessing you can disable your stick figure somewhere there as well.
Sorry, me again!

Probably not very useful for your case but on MIUI13 I have no problems with AOD notifications. everything appears there.
Have you enabled all the apps in Settings>Notifications and Control Centre>Lock Screen ?
I think they are connected with the AOD ones...

MIUI Battery optimizations...
You need to disable this for every app you need consistent notifications. Hold your finger on the app icon and then select App Info. Then scroll down until you see " Battery Saver" Change it to " No Restrictions" for all the apps you need. Also from that page, you can enable the Autostart option
