Battery percentage

[ClippedWings]

I can't post a picture since I'm a new user, but I was meaning to ask if anyone knows what kind of app or setting would show the battery percentage at the top right corner instead of that basic battery icon?

Thanks

Are you root? Running a rom?

I'm running stock, no root.

I've seen this one, but it's not the kind I'm looking for. I'm looking for one that would completely replace the battery icon and would only show percentage (horizontally). I've seen this type of thing in the "homescreen" topic.

Changing the icon isn't possible on the stock rom. To do so, you will need to unlock, root, and install a custom rom that gives you the ability to change the icon.

The app I gave just flips a switch which allows you to display the percentage.

Fair enough

Can't be bothered to root, so I'll just keep using my custom widget, not as clean, but hey.

IIRC, there is a (I think paid) version of GSAM where you can run an overlay with the battery percentage over the stock battery icon.

There's a few weather widgets apps that also display the battery percentage on the weather widget itself.
