Description
Battery Widget is an elegant 1x1 widget which shows you the battery level on your home screen, with some nice animation when charging. Tapping on it will show more battery information with a shortcut to view battery use.In case you don't have enough space in your home screen, a clear battery level indicator is available on status bar so that you can see it even when you are browsing the web or sending text messages. It can be configured to show in 3 different colors to reflect high/medium/low battery levels. You can also define your own alerts, so that Battery Widget will automatically notify you about battery status changes.
Battery Widget will not drain your battery, as it does only what it needs to do. When the device is idle, it is not listening to any battery information updates from the system if there are no active alerts. If there are active alerts, it just does minimal job to check if it needs to notify you and nothing more - it does not update any visible components when the handset is not in use. With this mechanism, Battery Widget consumes only little computation power and battery.
Available in multiple languages: English, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, Greek, Italian, Hungarian, Estonian, Turkish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Catalan, Dutch, Ukrainian and Romanian.

First Day Its my first day using this but I already like it. Like: -the bubbles when its charging -smooth design -tells me my batteries health -don't have to check the notification menu Dislike: -can't customize how it looks (colors etc) -kinda useless telling me what technology it is Other than that I like it a lot.

Good APP but It doesn't show any animation when charging. Is it suppose too? It looks like everything is setup properly for it to work. Also would be nice if we had the option to add the temperature of the battery on top of the screen next to the battery. Edit: Took away a few stars, this app still doesn't show any animation when charging and although the fully charged alert worked the first day, it no longer works.
