BatteryBar gives your iPhone an entirely new battery level indicator

The way iOS displays your current battery level has been approximately the same since the first iteration of the mobile operating system; albeit with a few minor changes present in some of the most significant updates over the years.

For anyone interested in a fresh take on iOS’ battery level indicator, a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed BatteryBar by iOS developer DGh0st may grab some attention.

Add a splash of color to your Status Bar’s battery indicator with ColorMyBattery

The battery indicator is perhaps one of the most mattering icons in the Status Bar, so why not give it a fun and quirky splash of color? A new free jailbreak tweak called ColorMyBattery by iOS developer Kiran Patil lets you do just that.

The screenshot examples above depict how the battery icon looks after being dyed blue with the ColorMyBattery tweak; but don’t let looks deceive you, as you can pick virtually any color you want.

This tweak improves the battery indicator on iPhone X

One of my biggest pet peeves since getting the iPhone X as my daily driver has been the battery level indicator in the Status Bar. I’ve always enabled the “Battery Percentage” option on all my previous iPhones, but the iPhone X’s notch doesn’t allow for that.

A new free jailbreak tweak called PercentageBatteryX by iOS developer NeinZedd9 solves this problem in the best way possible by giving iPhone X users an innovative new way to view their battery percentage.

Customize your Lock screen’s charging text string with PersonalEcate

Any time you plug your locked iPhone or iPad into a power source, the screen lights up with an over-sized battery indicator that gives you a brief summary and visual representation of your remaining percentage.

With a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed PersonalEcate by iOS developer CydiaGeek, you can customize the string of text that typically appears underneath the battery indicator icon.
