I just installed the GSam battery app on my Nexus, is there a way to remove/stop the stock little battery level that always displays in the notification area? I can't really see the use of having 2 battery level displays going all the time, and I like the widget the gsam has for an easy to read indicator of my charge.
I believe some ROMs support hiding the signal bars, so it should be possible with the battery as well, though I'm not sure if any ROM currently available has the option. You could try decompiling the framework-res and replacing the battery icons with empty png's, but then again I'm not sure what the result would be, so always make a backup.

Has anyone been able to get a working battery percentage mod for the sense roms floating around?
It's not a mod, but I love this app. It gives percentage with a customizable icon, with lots of mods (see the post), and also gives last unplugged info, among other things.

It does not replace stock icon, but adds one more on Status bar.

its what i did and now have fully working battery percentage
I must be the only one out there that does not like battery % mods.
Therefore I would like to rip the battery display files out of a stock rom and use them to replace the ones on another rom. I very much like the Sense 2.3.3 stock battery, it is big beautiful and green lol.
I just need help in locating these files in the system cause I have no idea where they are located.
Just to clarify, you're talking about the Sense battery widget, right? On CM7 (before I ended up with a locked EVO), I preferred to have the battery percent show up in the status bar and not waste space on my home screen. Personal preference...

No, im talking about the sense battery in the status bar, next to the clock. I downloaded a "clean sense battery" zip from themikmik.com and it works. I just forgot to wipe dalvik and cache first which may be why it was throwing my phone in a boot loop.
Like the topic asks, I'm looking for a battery mod to make the battery icon on the top status bar look like what you see in AOKP for example. I like TW so I'm staying stock rooted right now.
I don't want a circle mod, just the battery icon with the % number on it.
Thanks!

maybe try searching and something will come up?
Apparently I must not be as smart as you because I didn't find what I was looking for when I searched.
Try the settings bro.
Stock TouchWiz
Settings>Display>Display Battery Percentage
what firmeware if you run lh1 i have a modified version that does that
i run lh1 as it is the latest that works correctly with google wallet
I'm almost 100% positive that this is included in the stock rom without any modifications.
Under display settings it has the option to display the percentage next to the batter icon. Probably not the exact battery mod your looking for but the stock software does support it.
For some reason the battery icon in the status bar of the S3 is always green, even when the charge is low.
Is there a way to make it then yellow when below, say, 30% or something like on other phones?
I am aware that there are third party apps that can display battery icons in the status bar, but I don't want another useless icon there taking up space.
But I wouldn't mind an app that could somehow overlay the stock battery icon... though I am not rooted, and will not be rooting until my warranty is over.
It does that automatically. Mine does at least and im stock no root.

IIRC, the battery indicator does this on stock. I could be wrong though as its been some time since I was using stock ROM, maybe someone else can verify.
I'm looking for a Magisk Module that allows the status bar to be customized with different icon styles for wifi, cell signal strength, battery, etc. Custom roms usually have this implemented, but I'm sure there's something I can install individually.
Any help is appreciated!

I have just a few for wifi-data and there is always 3Minit battery for battery customization.
This guy has made a gravitybox for a12. I tested it , didn't loop my p6pro I guess, but I don't think it works. I've got so many customisations on my phone anyway, but battery bar doesn't work. You can try it if you want. Link
Thanks folks. I just came across this thread that has all that I'm looking for. It's a new project that is adding in new features all the time that won't require me to jump ship to custom roms as much anymore. I appreciate everyone's help!
Android definitely needs updated sig strength icons FFS! The filled ones are horrible! Even better have an option to show dBM for cell signal!

Yep, I absolutely hate it. You can hardly tell how many bars you actually have. I prefer the Xperia signals because they're identical to the old style that was once used. Even iOS has better indicators!
