The battery status icon which is certainly one of the most important icons on your device is often neglected when it comes to customization.

BatteryColor is available to download from the Cydia’s BigBoss repository for free. The standard icon for the battery status works just fine. But if you have a jailbroken iPhone then why not make a few tweaks to it as well.
BatteryColor is a simple yet great way to improve the look and to some extent, functionality of the battery status icon. What it does is that it provides a dynamic gradient to the battery status icon. Suppose, you have a full battery then the icon would appear dark green. Now, you begin using your iPhone and the battery begins to drain. As the level of the battery charge decreases, the color of the indicator would change as well. Say, your battery level comes down to 75%, the color would begin to turn yellower. As you continue using your device and the charge drops to 25% or 10%, the color of the indicator would approach a red color.
This is a great way to identify the amount of battery you have left without the need of the numeric indicator.

Installing and using BatteryColor
Once, you download the tweak from the Cydia repository from the above link and install it on to your phone, you are ready to go. It doesn’t come with a settings menu option. This is a good and a bad thing. It is good because you don’t need to manually configure it to work on your device. The bad thing is that you cannot change the default colors and the levels at which they change.
So, in the end, BatteryColor is a great tiny tweak if you are looking to customize your phone even further and it runs on any iOS device running jailbroken iOS 11.
As you may already know iOS shows the percentage of remaining battery life in the status bar that you can enable or disable by going to Settings app’s General section. A new tweak called Battery Temperature replaces the percentage shown in the status bar with the current temperature of the device’s battery. The temperature appears right next to the battery sign, and if you have always used the percentage you won’t even find it distracting as it looks pretty much the same.
From tweak’s Settings page you can enable or disable the tweak. You can also choose whether you want the temperature to appear in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin temperature scales. After installing the tweak make sure you have battery percentage option enabled otherwise it won’t work. You can do so by going to Settings > General > Usage and turning on toggle for ‘Battery Percentage’.
In our test we found the tweak to be a little buggy as the temperature wasn’t showing in some apps and was replaced by the normal percentage display.
You can download the Battery Temperature tweak from Cydia for free. It is available through the BigBoss repository.
