Perfect. that looks very nice. and very useful. can't believe the stock indicator doesn't include the percentage. especially since the graphic is not accurate at all.

Yea the stock indicator was practically useless. I was using the battery indicator app up until today but I hate having a cluttered taskbar...

Really? I thought it had to be a deodexed rom.

I swear...every time I think I understand this crap...

deodexed rom allows you to simply overwrite the old framework apk with the new. If you do this with an odexed rom, your phone will take a crap on you. Installing this indicator as an update.zip formatted package allows it to work for both odex and deodexed roms. Anyway, that's my understanding. And I know it works on my stock odexed ROM.

That's why you should never forget to nandroid.
