[Q] Changing battery indicator the easy way?

Is there an easy way (as in a simple flashing of a zip in CWM) to change the battery indicator in the notification area? The stock ICS battery indicator is not very informative (doesn't show percentage). I know I can add an icon to show battery percentage using Battery Monitor Widget, or flash another ROM, but I just want to know if something can be done to change the system battery indicator.
Thanks!

Settings, Display, Display battery percentage. Enjoy.

O my that's easy... thanks! Is there a way to get rid of the icon then? It's totally redundant with the percentage being displayed...

I have not found a way to remove it in the stock ROM. I actually enjoy the exclamation mark when at 4% or lower.

is there a simple app to show battery percentage?

so seeing the green bar isnt very helpful IMO. a percentage would be much greater. my phone is not "rooted" and i run apex launcher instead. is there a simple app to show me the percentage in my notification bar?

Yes there is one of my favorites is Battery Widget Reborn

you can try "settings extended"
it will also give you toggles in your notification tray. great app imo.

thanks guys, i will download both and play around with them.

the first app worked kind of. the percentage displayed on the left... but so did the battery bar on the right.
settings extended has the battery bar on the left too. but I don't understand the point of the app. it looks as if it's supposed to let me replace my notification bar with my own? but I don't understand how to do that

Have you tried Power Toggles? You get the battery percentage but also super useful toggles on the notification drop down for wifi, BT, brightness, volume etc....

Status Bar Customization

Is there anyway to change the carrier name on the status bar with root or any of the icons or anything like that?

Somewhere in the settings you can turn it off.

Hide battery percentage completely?

Is there a way to hide the battery percentage completely on this phone? It's not showing in my status bar, but I also don't want it to show when I pull down my notifications panel or on the AOD.

You can hide the battery icon and/or percentage in status bar via good lock, as for AOD, some use AOD notify app

Did you make it friend?

Same problem here. I think it's a known bug in OOS12.

Having the same issue. The toggle is there under Settings > Notifications & status bar > Status icons but it doesn't hide the icon. Tried turning the icon off and rebooting to no avail.
