If you modify the build.prop file and set the DPI to 160, Android will switch to a UI designed for larger screen sizes. Along with that comes a native battery percentage indicator in the notification shade.
So my question is this, if it exists in the native OS, is there a simple hack to get it to appear in the other native interfaces?

Sure would be nice if this was a system setting! Be nice to get type size larger without rooting!
No kidding! It would seem promising to me though that the operating system does, in fact, have a battery percentage indicator built in. I can't imagine it should be too much of a stretch to force it to appear in the non-tablet interfaces.

easily doable via System UI edits...decompile using apktool
need to update stat_sys_battery.xml and stat_sys_battery_charge.xml to include pngs for all files, and add in your pngs
Yeah it'd be great to have a battery indicator and the clock/notifications on the bottom, but heard of too many scare stories to even try, like the Nexus 7 bricking on boot and more incompatible apps
Having the battery percentage showing up in the tablet is not something new. I have it on my HoneyComb Tablet: it shows up the percentage near to the battery.
I don't know if it isa modification made by HTC, but I don't think so.
Sorry to revive a dead/old thread, but have any of you found a solution to this since last posting here? Or can anyone else comment on this? I'm trying to get the battery percentage showing next to/inside of the battery icon on the status bar on my friends phone for him, without rooting preferably, and without installing additional software (otherwise I'd just install GSam).
TYIA!

Anyone has the problem where the battery indicator is not accurate? I'm using QM's digital battery indicator and the percentage doesn't seem to change after a while.
I have to do a soft reset for it to be updated. And it will stay updated for a while before it "hangs" again.
Anyone knows how to deal with this?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. There is some mysterys with bettery percentage indications. Sometimes it's stay at on place for a hours and in other cases could run every minute down. What could be a reason for this? Maybe it's problem with battery?
Can't confirm this with my device. The default indication works just fine. Tried also Batti for a few days and no problems occured, progress bar showed correct information and even the temperature info seemed to be perfectely believable... I don't know what the QM's digital battery is but looks like the problem might be in that program...
2ArMikael: Probably nothing new for you, but just for sure - consumption hugely deppends on actual ussage, biggest drainers are GPS and Wi-Fi each of these can completely drain your battery within few (~4?) hours. Also check for processes with permanent CPU ussage on background etc.
2Dair, you right, that's not new for me. I'm not so stupid.
That's the catch that the battery going down even with turned of wireless protocols, GPS and programms at all.
But maybe it's a problem of a new battery. Last few days, after a full discharge of battery this problem disaperead. Battery percentage showings seems like a normal.
So guys, if you have a new phone don't forget to do a full dischage and recharge before you take it hard.
I've stopped running QM, however, it seems frozen still. Do you think I might need to uninstall it, or even do a hard reset?
Ethermind has created a new batterydriver for Xperia which also seems to be working really nicely on other devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513480
It shows, with the right icons, the exact percentage of your battery in steps of 1%.

I've tested it with gtrab's SEX1 1% increments Battery ENHANCER
with Windows Mobile 6.5 taskbar icons and it works just dandy!!!!
All the credits go to Ethermind for creating the driver!!! Many thnx
And if you use gtrab's wm6.5 taskbar icons with the driver don't forget to thank gtrab!
I included the Matte Grey iconset into the DesireHD taskbar since the stock ones are too wierd and boring for me
(Framework is from m-deejay's DHD 3.7 build and tested on that build ONLY !)

Process :
1. Download framework-res.apk from here : http://vbnfiles.com/xda/vbn/Desire HD/MOD/framework-res.apk
2. Reboot into WM and open card as Storage device
3. Copy the apk into Android/root/system/framework (Create directory if doesnt exist)
4. Boot into Android and Enjoy !
PS : Works best with Matted themes like MattedBlues, etc.
Working on a complete matted theme on my WM Clarity (for those who know about it ) line ... lets see what I can churn up !
Works perfectly... only wish I could get a circular battery indicator
Hey Sanjeev,
I'm still running this one thing though the download indicator seems rather large.
Sent from my HD2
Sorry forgot your circular battery request...got tied up with things at home
The download indicator I can fix ... its actually best at 200dpi but breaks sense everywhere...
UPDATED !
* Charging anim converted to single icon matted blue
* Signal 0-10% icon changed to 1 bar instead of nothing
* Download icon alignment corrected and size reduced to 70%
Great work Sanjeev! Just if possible add % charge level for the battery and it will be definetely the best b/w taskbar.
I've tweaked this a little to my own preference for the DHD builds after finding some images
This preview is well crap (looks 1000x better) but should be enough to get the idea
Well done birkoff, but I think circle b/w battery metter will look better.
Hi. I just want to ask, how to fix the blurred Wi-Fi icon in I9301? I know, it's a small detail, but it really bugs me. Also, the signal and battery icons aren't straight relative to each other. The battery icon is placed higher and it doesn't look very good. Here's a screenshot :

I tried to replace the wifi pngs from GS4's SystemUI to our device, but they're the same, the problem lies in the XMLs I think. I know that I already made a topic about that, but it seemed to have no attention at all and it was buried.

I tried to copy xml data from other ROMs that have this issues fixed. I tried with dimens.xml in values and signal_cluster_view.xml in layout but I don't see any changes. I will wait for more help.

Check SGS5 mini systemui which has 720p display because SGS4 has 1080p display
My phone is going through some weird battery issue. It's draining faster than it should. The biggest drain is the miscellaneous. It doesn't show what it is at all. As shown below, the phone should have lost just over 1000 mAh but in reality drained over 2700 mAh.

Any ideas what this could be or how to correct it?

Mine is doing the same, with Miscellaneous being at the top...not sure what is causing the issue. Are you rooted using the system-less method by chance?
No. I did adb pull and push my build.prop to change it to userdebug tho to enable multi window mode. I'm thinking I'm going to reflash the image when I get home to see if there's that has anything to do with it. Although, reflashing may correct an altogether different issue and I won't find the cause.

Hmm, I also did a build.prop edit - I may revert back to the stock one and see if that helps.
Edit: After changing the build.prop back to user (from userdebug) I can confirm that Miscellaneous is no longer displayed in the battery stats. Must be a developer feature to measure expected vs actual battery drain is my guess.
Hmm, but I wonder if the drain I'm experiencing will be any different. But as bugging as the multi window is I'm going to switch back until it gets fleshed out a bit more.

Actually it is a feature to make the total battery drain to match actual battery loss percentage. Has anyone noticed that after lollipop battery loss percentage was reset from base 100 to actual battery %. But the number never added up to the actual battery loss. Now after enabling userdebug it adds up. Wow. And fast discharging is a placebo effect.
Miscellaneous is from userdebug change in build.prop. its all normal stuff that you usually don't see cause it's normally hidden.
I've updated my device to Android Oreo (AOSP Extended) and immediately noticed the new "design choices", which led to the following problem:

That's how it looks like, when I'm trying to download an app using Google Playstore. The progress bar, the name of the app (which is showing the notification) and its icon are completely missing, is there any way to fix this?! Unfortunately I didn't find any way to change the background colour - it would be even better to get rid of the new "everything is white" design, but I would be already happy, if I could at least read my notifcations ^^
I have already spent way too much time searching for a solution, but I didn't find anything (except installing Subtratum Theme Engine, which seems to be a bit unreasonable for just changing the background colour), so you're my last hope

You don't like the new design? It's called Ultra Minimalistic Material. Deal with it, it'll grow on you soon. Besides you should know what's in the notification by now...
jokes aside, just use AEX 5.6. It worked flawlessly. You can also change color on both the rom you have and 5.6, just go to Settings - Display - more
