How did you get the battery percentage?

Edit: and how did people get more icons along the bottom of the screen (rather than (^ Phone +))

Battery Indicator app I think.

Launcherpro app for the buttons along the bottom, will take away HTC sense though.

Has anyone got gmote working with Windows HP x64?. THe app and client have both installed fine but the phone says it cant find the server even if I type the PC Ip address in manually. I've disabled the firewall too

Try resetting the router, it usually solves related problems when I can't access web pages on my local webserver.

Yeah, that and the glass effect on the icons at the bottom of the main screen are what really bugs me compared to LauncherPro, it needs them!

The battery percentage is included when you root the phone with cyanogens mod.

More icons along the bottom is a custom laucher, eg Launcher Pro.

Most if not all roms have battery % now.

Hows the battery with Cyans latest?

Gmote worked fine for me, not using it any more though.

Google Goggles, in the market

Nah use Barcode scanner that Khaaan linked.

Django x2 · 27 May 2010 at 11:54

So which is it? Or shall I get both and see which is best?

I also have shop savvy, will that work too?

One other quick question. Can I set a ringtone for my alarm? Can't seem to find the setting anywhere other than the default tones which are....FAIL

EDIT:Ah, yes, shop savvy does work

mrk · 27 May 2010 at 11:55

It's the one I "linked" to

Gogles is fine but it's not entirely accurate for many barcodes. It thinks my Lucozade bottle is a camera lens for example. Googles is more sited to famous landmarks/stuff/objects etc.

Search for barcode scanner in the market, install the first one you see. (by Zing)
