What is this?
This is the reincarnation of my Circle Battery Mod initally made for the G3.
At the same time this is the first overlay I created for the G4. Because Layers work on the G4 running Marshmallow!
What are overlays (or layers)?
Layers is an extension of run-time resource overlay (RRO). RRO is a framework created by Sony for them to create Xperia themes but also for quick internal prototyping. Layers uses the native android code to do what it does. It is absolutely secure. Layers allows you to theme every app individually which also adds the ability to mix and match various layer packages, cool isn't it? For more information look here: http://bitsyko.codelax.me/ and at the G+ community.
How it works?
Dowload the G4CircleBattery.apk to your sdcard. Then install Layers Manager from the Store. You need to be rooted and to have BusyBox installed. Run Layers Manager, it will create a folder "overlay" on your sdcard. Copy the G4CircleBattery.apk to here.
Since this is a simple mod you will not see it as a plugin on the home screem of the Layers Manager. The installation is very simple. Select the floating button and choose the apk. The apply the overlay and reboot.
What else might be important?
The layer does not affect your system especially layout files. This means that the battery steps remain stock (5%) only the icons are changed. As soon as I release the Flyme or the Hybrid Theme with 1% steps battery mod I will release a corresponding circle battery layer as well.
Enjoy!
