I contacted the guy who posted this theme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366170&highlight=ics+zip the ics.zip
I wouldn't mind trying to port it over myself, I've actually been trying to figure out how the last few hours.. but I would love that theme. Mainly for the battery icon. But also for a little more ICS look.

Getting ready to install it now. Once I finish testing, if all goes well, I'll post it in a few minutes.
I was gonna contact the guy who made the caprombeta rom, he had battery % showing in his.. since he had his rom out so quick I imagine he must have had a quick and dirty method he could share.
I've seen a lot of people griping about the lack of an ICS look so I was considering using this thread that has a tool to port themes with the ICS.zip attached to that link I posted earlier.. it is supposed to put it into any rom(and looking at the batch file it doesn't need a whole rom, just what needs to be flashed). I would probably have it done already but I'm on my mac, and too lazy to sit at the desktop
Well here's mine. Nothing changed over stock theme except I added the percentage to the battery icon.
Also has smooth charging animations instead of the standard choppy ones and shows the current percentage between animation cycles while charging.
Used the UOT Kitchen to make it but replaced the battery images with my own. Hope you guys like it.
Just install in recovery.

I was playing with UOT earlier, how did you use your own icons? I was looking for that for a WHILE..
Attached. Just extract it from the rar. When you upload a pic as an attachment, it compresses it to a different resolution.
It's not a feature directly implemented into the UOT Kitchen.
After the kitchen is done and you download your zip, extract the framework-res.apk from the zip.
Extract the "res" folder from the framework-res.apk and look for the directory "drawable-hdpi". In there you will find 206 images related to the battery. I replaced them all with images that matched HTC's stock battery but including percentage.
After you replace all the images to look how you want, just replace the res folder inside framework-res.apk and replace the one in the zip.

I got a critical error, all I needed was framework-res.apk, SystemUI.apk and com.htc.resources.apk right? So I'm wondering if we don't have a MTD update binary(I didn't think we have emmc) or if I remember right that I am supposed to recompile or sign the apk or something..
Sigh, I had it all done too
Works great.
Was hoping to use this one -

But couldn't because I'm running this theme -

And the update file for it still included all the other (unaltered) images which resulted in the file overwriting all the altered images from the theme lol.
Thankfully this one was put together sans all the unaltered images so it works with the theme just fine. Thanks =)

Is there any way I can revert back to the original battery the percentage stops at 27 until my phone is almost dead

Same thing here...except mine went something like this 27>26>30>28>26 but the system says my battery is 22. Is anyone else having this issue? Using dharveys battery mod
That's really strange because I haven't noticed that problem. After I first installed ARHD, I noticed my battery percent in the status bar would be 2% high from the battery percent displayed in the unlock screen while unlocking.
After about 2 charge cycles and wiping the battery stats once that normalized and now I have excellent battery life and it's extremely accurate.

Right now its 2 above the system. Ill try a few cycles and see what happens and ill report back.
Thanks for that! Super handy, especially since you can see the %age from the lock screen (why wouldn't google/htc build that in??).
One note though - using it today and it reported 9% remaining within the battery icon, but 7% through other means. Not a huge deal, but thought I'd let you know.
Massiv.
