This "widget" builds upon THP's IpAddr widget, and a lot of thanks goes to him for his support during the development of my app. I would also like to thank Ejas Mudar (MrModr), Schturman, and NovaG for their help along the way.

What does it do?
It is simple. Launching the app results in the execution of shell and python script in which the icon of the app is populated with the current percentage. IF the device is in a charging state, this will also be shown.

The percentage is gathered the same way that it does in the Settings>Device>Battery menu, so it is as accurate as it can be (I assume anyway).

There is a lot of work to still be done.

APP REQUIRES DEVELOPER MODE TO BE ENABLED

Current Install Method:
If you have V0.0.4 or earlier, remove first and then install v0.1.1 or later. If you have V0.1.1 or later, you can simply install over previous version

Install the latest version
If install doesn't download python and python imaging, do it via xterm (apt-get install python python-imaging)

To Do list:
-Centre "Chrg" Text
-Auto update of percentage (No need to tap icon) [If you know how to create the daemon for a script, please tell me ]
-Successfully replace status bar icon
-Increase text size and make bold

Current features:
-Transparent/Black/White percentage label (Will use the most popular)
-Displays current percentage/charging status when clicked
-FIXED: bug where app needs to be tapped twice sometimes to update (V0.0.2)
-FIXED: Avoid the terminal window that opens for a split second (V0.0.3)
-FIXED: Deb package (without any terminal input) (V0.1.1)

VERSIONS:
0.0.1 - Initial Release
0.0.2 - Fixed: Execute the app twice to update percentage
0.0.4 - Fixed: No terminal window; Permissions no longer an issue; App Icon in PKG MGR
0.1.1 - Fixed Install of 0.0.4/0.0.5 with code modifications for faster execution (Will remain available for those who wish to have it the way it is shown in the screenshot)
0.1.2 - Removed graphic from background
0.1.3 - Cleaned up the code and put as much of the app as I can outside the home directory


Any and all feedback/criticism is welcome.
