I'm a bone head... I'm using the one mad by Jrummy.. I bought a long time ago I assumed it was that one... Matter a fact never even seen their was different ones LOL.. Which one are u using
 
So far everything is sticking except the battery icon isn't working fluidly by each percent. It's just doing its own thing dropping from 81 to 71 and now 57 lol. Went through twrp settings thinking I could clear battery stats and fix it but couldn't find the option.

1% battery increments need to be modded into the ROM in order for you to be able to use 1% replacement battery themes. As it is now in metropolis, there are only about ten or so charge/discharge "steps" which is why the numbers are jumping like that. I'm afraid you're stuck with it till shabby makes the modifications. Next update maybe?
 
Ahh good to know. I was thinking that would be the case but since you can enable percents for the stock icon I thought maybe it wasn't.
 
Sorry to say that ROM toolbox doesn't replace system icons in newer android versions, to say nothing of touchwiz Roms, as well as it did for GB. I think it needs an update in that department.
 
It used to be you could just go to UOTK and add the 1% battery mod to your ROM. Don't know if that works with 4.1 roms.
 
My setup at the moment
