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.

I have search high, and low, and all I seem to be able to find is that you need to have a rooted device to be able to change the icons in the status bar, and what not. Well my slide is rooted, but I do no see any where that tells how to change them, or change the battery icon to show % and what not. Could someone point me in a direction, or give me some pointers on how to change the icons? Mainly the battery app/icon, I want one that shows % in the right, which most apps will show a % but then I have 2 battery icons, I just want the 1.
Along the lines of his question. Whatever happened to the status bar/tweak options in CM Settings for CM7?
They are implementing the color changing through the themes app they are providing. I wouldnt be suprised if the theme process will eventually cover the unlock slider aswell.
I've searched this forum but does anyone know how to display the battery in status bar like in old CM builds?
Do you mean battery percentage? No unless you flash a battery % mod then it won't be viewable. Its not an option in CMsettings for some reason, I think its due to the way that the battery is vertical and its not very big so theres not much room for numbers.
There are apps that can put your battery % in the notifications bar, but really this just drains more battery than its worth. What I've been doing is in CMsettings under Lockscreen you can set to always show the battery % on the lockscreen. That way every time you turn the phone on you can glance at the %.

An update for you OP, the builds I think after nightly #5 of CM7 have an option to show the battery % in place of the battery icon in the normal status bar now.
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....
I am currently running this ROM and I'm trying to add battery percentage near the battery icon. I tried using an xposed module called GravityBox, and it has an exact battery icon with percentage as in my ROM. But the problem is, whenever I apply that icon, seconds later the original stock battery icon shows too and I have two battery icons on my statusbar.
I tried many other xposed modules that are known to remove the stock icon, but none of them work.
Is there any other easier way to add percentage to the left of the battery icon? Would deleting the battery .png images from systemUI work?
PS: The ROM has an option to add percentage, but not the way I want it. It has the percentage inside the battery icon.
For some reason there are two icons for battery (one text/one icon) and they seem to be independent of eachother in the settings.
I have turned the text battery percentage off before but made a mistake flashing the update and had to start from scratch and now I can't find it

The Viper rom comes with two battery icons, and many more can be downloaded from the Hub. You have two preinstalled -- a stock HTC icon and the Viper 5 icon which has embedded text in it. However, there is also a pure text percentage that is independent of the other two.
The battery icons can be found in VenomTweaks/Status Bar/Status Bar Tweaks/Status bar theme
Click on that and you will see the default internal battery icon. Click on that and you will see the Viper 5 icon. Apply which one you want.
Now go to Settings/Power and scroll down to "Show battery level". This is the stand alone text percentage you see in the status bar. Turn off or on.

HTC changed / eliminated the code for charging animations in recent bases. So the image is there but the system isn't telling them to show up, from what I understand
