I think, the magic happens in this line (BatteryMeterView.java, Line 190):
Code: 
mShowPercent = ENABLE_PERCENT && 0 != Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(), "status_bar_show_battery_percent", 0);

Is there any way to set the system-variable "status_bar_show_battery_percent" to true?

Ok, figured it out. Will upload an app in a few minutes.

Edit: The problem is, that the text will be white. So you can see it only, if the battery is empty enough. Can't change this, because of line 208:
Code: 
mTextPaint.setColor(0xFFFFFFFF);

do you guys think it'll be possible to somehow make the percentage stand out by different color?

Or is that not possible?

    Just install my App and click on "Enable Battery Percent". Then reboot.

    New version is in attachment (changed a few strings).

    Agree

    Another one I'm surprised STILL isn't in AOSP is the button you can press when changing volume to reveal all the other volume sliders. I use it ALL THE TIME on custom AOSP ROMs and even on (ugh) TouchWiz.

    I try and I think I'm not the only one. Maybe it would be great if ideas would be shared here. I've got a very bad internet connection and downloading the source code takes two days...

    Yes it has been tough, I think I need to download the the source to really understand it, been tough mainly looking at the dalvik vm code or it converted to java with jdgui. I am not sure why it doesn't show up, looks like the phone needs to be in some test mode or demo mode. I started looking at the quick tile code since it has the percent below it and also a BatteryMeterView; however, the percentage is displayed through a text view.

    Thinking I can make it a relative layout in the in the xml and then port the code to status bar icon for it to show or even change it to the way it was displayed on 4.3 and before.
