Root the phone and use gravitybox

You can use an app like this if you don't want to ROOT: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
Or this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.edavid93.kitkat_battery_percentage
I think the 2nd one is the one I used with this phone up until this week (when I rooted). You don't need to root your phone with either of these, but you may need to restart it (even if it says you don't).

I'm using the first link. I like it. I've read that once you installed it, you can uninstall it and it will still be there.
I use Gsam Battery Monitor. Creates a battery icon in status bar that is easy to read. Also gives you phone temp.

If you pull down the notification area and tap on the status bar to bring up the quick setting menu you can see the percentage. That's good enough for me
I am a big fan of Settings Extended. For battery percentage and other cool notification bar features.
No root required .

Thank you for all the suggestions. I like the root one the best. I am NOT going to root just yet however because I have not decided whether or not I am keeping the device

I'd you don't have root or want to I use an app called Battery Percentage Enabler in the app store. Works great and root not needed.

I have the Moto X pure edition and there's an option for this but I don't remember where. I've seen it and enabled it but now it's gone.

Drop down status bar. Hold the gear icon for about five seconds. Should swirl and enable system ui tuner under settings. In this menu you can enable battery percentage. No root needed.

Thanks. This worked but it's different then where I enabled it once. I wonder if I'm thinking I did this in 5.1.1 which my phone cane with. I've had the phone less then a month.
Where are the best available instructions located should I decide to root the Moto X pure edition?

You can use the System UI Tuner.

Hi as per your question
Please pull down the notifications bar, now long press on the gear icon for a while.
System ui tuner will be enabled and added to settings.
Go to system ui tuner in settings.
Go to status bar.
There you can find battery and how you want it to be displayed.
Works in Android 6 and 7

Hey there,
I'm used to pull down the notification bar from any possible app (even games) on the sgs3.
I noticed it isn't possible on the nexus... Is there any mod or something for that? :/

its sdk functionality. if an app requests the statusbar should be hidden the framework has to do that in order to not get in the way of gestures and swipes on which the app relies. if touchwizz ignores that it would be a pretty evil abuse, something that should get them in legal trouble. i dont think it would be hard to realize but i know of no mod or rom who's got that.
Oh I see thank you very much for the explanation.
I got pretty used to it as it was really convenient checking my notification bar without minimizing my current app. (Change music, brightness , GPS etc....)
Oh well will have to get used to it then.
Thanks for the reply again

Miui allows this. I expect we'll get a miui rom eventually.
For the time being you could use this app:

I use it and it works great

I've seen the apps and edits to remove or replace the navigate buttons (home, back, recent apps) or even move them to the side... But what about moving them entirely to the notifications tray? Is this a bad idea?
For the videos and apps that remove the tray, there could be a hot corner or gesture to bring it back up. Should I have patented this idea before posting?

That's called tablet ui.

Tablet UI would bring it to the statusbar. Not the notification area.
To the OP: this would be bad for accessibility. Imagine using an app that requires you to double press back to exit. You would neet to pull down the notification area twice... just to close an app.

Fullscreen app gives you two hot corners, replacing the back/home, but I found I kept accidently hitting the corners within other apps or surfing, no matter whether I put them top or bottom. I ended up using Pie Control app, customised with Nav buttons to solve the problem. LOVE the huge screen via fullscreen.

Ah I thought he was just making the 2 terms interchangeable.

Wow sorry for my late reply everybody. Thank you for you feedback. I haven't looked at tablet ui but I will. I have installed GMDs auto hide nag buttons. I like it. Sometimes. One thing I do not like is that the menu button for apps like Chrome are automatically moved to the navbar. I know I can turn it off but the menu button is just gone. Not a huge deal but I also don't like how it is sometimes less responsive than the stock navbar. Either way, I'm still shopping.

You should try AOKP rom which you can toggle phablet and tablet UI, I've been using this feature since 4.1.
As for in app menu button, there is in option called "Show menu UI overflow" in the rom to enable it.
Hi as title says, is there a way to remove the slight faded eye looking icon in the notification bar when smart stay features are on?
I always leave the feature on so the icon sitting on my notification bar is unnecessary. I am rooted and am amusing I need to delete a system file (maybe?) so if anyone knows please tell me
Thanks!

I fixed that on mine by using the corresponding option from Wanam xposed.
What do you mean? Can you tell me the solution?

Root. Install latest xposed framework. Install Wanam exposed module. Toggle the corresponding setting there.
use 2 finger to pull down from top and you shall see the option to turn it off.

That is not the same thing, the toggle will disable smart-stay, most people would want smart-stay to still work but not to show the icon.

I don't understand the process. It sounds quite complicated so I think I'll just live with the icon showing on my notification bar.

I'm new to good lock. I downloaded it from the Galaxy app store. Its a nice little customization program, but I'd like to add date and day to the status bar (like 3minit clock does) is that possible?

Nope, not with Good Lock. You'd need to root the device to perform those modifications.

Open quick settings by scrolling down from the top with two fingers. Hold down settings gear for a few seconds. System ui will be enabled. Go into settings and enable percentage.
Thank you!!

Like this... There are even more options, but i prefer this one.
Custom Battery Monitor or
Flat Style Bar Indicators.
Both Xposed Models and very customizable.
Particularly the second one.
With this you are able to shape the whole Status Bar whatever the heart desires.
