numeric battery

[newhen]

Hi, I went to sbsettings and added numeric battery but its not the same as the old numeric battery where you click it to change it to a number but now its right next to it instead. Any ideas. 3.0

It's a little different in 3.0:

* SSH into your iPhone
* Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app/
* Download the file M68AP.plist
* Open the file using a text editor or a plist editor
* Add a Boolean value under the capabilities dictionary
* Boolean Key = gas-gauge-battery / Boolean Value = true
* Save and upload the file to the same directory that it was originally in
* Go onto the iPhone and respring
* Now go to the application Settings -> General -> Usage and there will be a Battery Percentage toggle and you can use it to enable battery percentage next to battery icon in top-right corner.

^ +1 very easy. You can also install ifile to do everything from the iphone

[newhen]

it use to be able to toggle battery percentage and the battery bar when you clicked it is it not anymore

install bossprefs, and change it from there perhaps

[newhen]

is sbsettings not the same thing as bossprefs?

[Beva922]

um i dont think so, hence the two names (no sarcasm intended)

Would someone please upload the edited .plist file to gain the Battery % toggle.

[newhen]

no luck still

yea i hear that in 3.0 you can't have the battery icon change to numbers
sucks because it really clutters my stat bar
