Battery Overlay Percent 1.2.4

This app has been discontinued. Since Android 8.0, Google's approach to overlay is limiting apps like this, making it impossible to overlay over the system UI. A recommended alternative is ChargeTone, which enhances the audible features of Battery Overlay Percent.

Battery Overlay Percent offers a customizable solution to display your battery percentage without overcrowding your notifications. It allows you to show the percentage over your battery icon or anywhere on your status bar (up to Android 7.x).

Unlike other battery percentage solutions, this app utilizes overlay technology instead of Android's notification method, resulting in a sleek appearance without occupying notification space. It is an elegant way to showcase the battery percentage.

Key Features:

• Customizable size, positions, and colors
• Sound notification when charging/discharging (optional)
• No ROOT access required
• Show percentage even on stock ROMs
• Battery-efficient operation
• Minimal permissions necessary
• Free from commercials

If you find value in the app, there is an optional premium key available for extra features:

• Custom colors for different battery states
• Custom font styles
• Custom charging blink interval
• Custom sounds for charging notifications
• Single-digit numeric display option
• Overlay rotation feature

Known Issues:

• Unsupported on Android 8.0 and above due to Google disabling overlays on System UI. Note that Google has added a percentage display beside the battery as an alternative.
• Potential service interruptions due to aggressive service killing on certain devices (e.g., Huawei). Whitelisting may resolve this issue.
• Limited support on Samsung devices due to alignment issues in the status bar causing the overlay to appear incorrectly. Disabling any Text-to-Speech (TTS) services can serve as a workaround.
