Guest crazyfool_1 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm new to android and have been looking at various home screens threads on forums and alot of people seem to have the percentage indicated in their taskbar battery icon which I think is alot more useful than the stock indicator. From what I can tell it seems that this comes from custom roms and cant be installed manually so is there anyway this can be incorporated or flashed onto the current r3 rom? Or will this be possible via the online kitchen? I've also seen the option to remove the taskbar clock which I think is another feature that is useful as most people use clock widgets so the taskbar clock is pointless. Btw this is not an "i want this" thread. I was just wondering if this is possible or planned. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eclogue Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 As a short term fix, something like 'battery indicator' from the marketplace will give you a seperate notification icon with a percentage in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of those files do I need? Do I just install (for example) GalaxyS Blue Theme & Circle Battery Without Bootanimation, using the clockwork mod, and then it works? Does this also change the theme, as it sounds to?! Any way of installing without the theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way of installing without the theme? I wanted the theme anyway so I don't know if you can install the battery percentage on its own. I guess you could always backup with clockwork recovery and give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lovelldr Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 OK, after searching around for a way to make just the battery different, I found the UOT Kitchen... This just alters the battery, and so everything else is left as was... :) Attached screen shot and the just battery (although if you have altered other icons etc, I imagine it will reset them back to stock if using this... Hope this helps people who were stuck like me :)UOT_ZC_10_15_13_10_1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
