Best app to display battery percentage - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hey all I just got my Nexus 7 and haven't got to rooting yet but I noticed that I can't display the battery percentage and was wondering what you guys use to see your percentage. Any info is appreciated.

Personally, I use Widgetsoid, as I like to have various toggles in my dock. Plenty of alternatives, both free and paid, that will do this.
I've had Widgetsoid for 3 years or more on various devices so didn't feel any need to change.....

Is there an app to display the battery percentage right on the top bar? That would be better than a widget.

Battery Percentage/Charging Notification

I am not sure whether the Nexus 7 has any of these features hidden away amongst its settings, but is there an app or way to get a percentage for the battery shown in the status bar at the top and also have a message display when the battery reaches around 20% for charging?

Check out this widget. It offers some very detailed info especially on JB devices.

ChargeBar is pretty cool and seems to fit well with the overall look although doesn't show exact percentages.

I made a couple last night but got bored because I suck at using Adobe Fireworks.
The Swirly one is from the internet somewhere (has a black background) which I ended up using in the end.
These are great but many if them have black backgrounds. Can't use them on different color backgrounds
Yeah all these don't work for me. All I see is a black square in the back

If you use a third-party launcher, just long hold the icon and press edit and then press on the icon and change it to the one you desire to change it to.

Notifications Mod.

Does anyone know of a mod i could apply that sets a little 1 in the corner of the icon, like HTC sense or go launcher has. Really miss that feature from HTC and am so over adding a desperate launcher.

i know AOKP has this option in their rom control settings if you consider flashing another rom.
Nova launcher pro will do this.

He said he wants icon count like go launcher.
..
I have no idea why you would want a mod that does something that a launcher can already do.
I cant imagine there would be a mod for it either. Its like trying to find a mod that makes the power button turn the screen on and off.

I want it for the aesthetics. I am happy with my theme and home screen. Don't want another launcher. I compromised with lock screen notifications. I find this even better cuz now i don't even have to unlock my phone to know whats up when I've been away from my phone for a bit.

[Q] Best lockscreen notification app?

Hi! Which app do you belive is the best lockscreen notificaton app? I like nils very much, but even Lockepro isn't bad, love the swipe for dismiss or launch the app! Just hate that the clock won't refresh immediately XD
I like dashclock

Nice app, but for Amoled screen it's quit better..On the Nexus 4 it's a battery killer!
I'll have to test battery life without using...I just thought the battery on the Nexus 4 was underpowered. I drain about 12% an hour with normal use.

I think it's the best you can get today. Dashclock is nice in background but in lockscreen i use knock2 payed version.

Tried dynamic notifications, didn't care for it much. Back to using dash clock.

still using dashclock and happy with that
Tried to combine Knock and Dashclock but its not a goed mix...
I use Floating Notification. It's just enough and doesn't take up the whole screen. I like that I can quick reply as well.
Nils+ working great for me. I can read whole whatsapp messages, gmail, Facebook, all my notifications right on my lockscreen. Exactly what I was looking for.

Question. Can you add weather and battery status on Nils like you can do with Dashclock?
I tried Knock V2 but its not a good combo with Dashclock

I personally prefer to use Floating Notifications, with HALO enabled. HALO is basically what PA uses to display their notifications. It launches the app in a floating window, so you can access it from full-screen apps such as games. Of course, you'll have to have a rooted phone for this to work, and enable HALO in the app as well as download the Xposed framework module.

Yeah the xda app removes the transparency layer.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
In your browser, click the icon picture. Save the icons from the popup picture viewer. Long press the icon and save. It keeps transparency.
i noticed the phone icon edges was not pretty. Here is a pretty a version. I was bored so I re-created it in ps (vector). If you need a bigger size or better quality, PM me. xda image uploader is not friendly with png.
Very coooooool

Droid-Life just posted some KitKat icons/wallpaper/UCCW widget.
Here's the link:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/1...-kit-kat-look-with-these-icons-and-wallpaper/
I didn't test this, because I am on MIUI, and I have no backup. Can anyone test this vrtheme out and tell me if phone and app drawer are properly replaced with 4.4 icons and kit kat wallpaper is added to the stock wallpapers?
You have to be in stock launcher
Thanks!! If it works I will create another thread so everybody can see it Waiting your answers!!!
Looks good, I may give these a go over Nox for a few days and see how I like them.
Looks nice
It looks pretty cool thanks :good:
