This time we talk about a feature that some users like Android phones: show battery percentage in the notification bar .

How to show battery percentage on Android 4.4 Kit Kat

To date in order to do so we had to change the ROM with one that had that setting or give root to mobile and install some modification.


With Android 4.4 we show the percentage by simply installing an application without need for root access. The developer, kroegerama, has released the apk on XDA forums and has also commented that although it does not take itself administrator permissions that will be needed if we want to change the color of the figure but is a fairly complex process for users medium.

Note that the application simply makes a call to an existing function so if you install it and run and subsequently removed the battery percentage still there.

IF we remove it we have to use their own app to uncheck the option that gives us to show the number.
