hi I did install the asbattery after adding repository as described above.
I had already the sbs option. So it asked me to overwrite the SBS file. That I did.
After rebooting My iphone hangs on startup it shows the apple icon and the spinning wheel.

Somebody can help????
Thks

On iPhone u can enable battery percentage in settings too, it doesn't need jailbreak. Settings - Usage - Battery percentage.

I have a 3G and don't want to jailbreak my iphone. Is there any way of getting the battery percentage without jailbreaking it?

Jordan

that's only with the 3gs

Danger! Beware of asBattery with 2G! Bricked my Blackra1n RC3 with blacksn0w v.3.1.2 2G iphone. After my phone was working perfectly, asBattery bricked it! Now I have to reload everything from scratch. Come on guys, if its a conflict with the MMS hack, just put in a simple if statement to check for it during install. This is not rocket science.

You're gonna have to do some DIY to make it work on a MMS enabled 2G (actually any 2G with at least 3.0), it's really simple:
0. don't install SBSettings or asBattery, you won't need any of them for this ;)
1. open iFile
2. navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app
3. open M68AP.plist and tap on Edit
4. navigate to
device-name
iPhone
5. add the following line, right after the one above:
gas-gauge-battery

6. tap on Save and reboot
7. go to Settings > General > Usage and turn on Battery Percentage

I can confirm that the SB settings battery percentage indicator does, indeed, 'stick' after a Restore. I've done it with three iPhone 2Gs, now. Just jailbreak, install SB settings from Cydia and turn on battery percentage indicator. Now, backup your iPhone and restore it. At first, on restart, the percentage indicator has gone. But simply restore from your iPhone backup and ta-da! Battery percentage indicator is back! On a non-jailbroken iPhone 2G!!! BPI is the only reason I'd ever want to jailbreak a 2G, so I'm really pleased with the way this works.

THANK YOU!!! I used asBattery through your instructions and it worked!!! Seriously, THANK YOU!

would be nice if this worked on 4.2.1???
