Go back to Preferences and check "Overlay Standard Battery Icon" after you did what I posted above.

I edited at the same time you were posting. I did get it to work. It sure beats the old icon.

This is great! I just grabbed the icon pack and now I can see my battery percentage on my status bar!

It doesn't install as a separate App. Its an add on to the Badass Battery Monitor - Kindle Fire Version.

It never gets installed. I's asking for my $.99 back-just the principle of the thing. LOL

Well worth the 99 cents. That makes the total app $2.98 which isn't too bad. The newest version has alarms added. Low battery alarm and finished charging alarm.

It's worth the .99 if you can actually use it. LOL This is what I mean when I say everyone's user experience is different based on many variables etc.

OMG-- a variable--I walked away to get a drink of water and the icon was there when I came back. Much much better.

I had a little problem getting mine to work too. A restart fixed it for me.

I ran into another little problem. After I had it installed and managed to get the overly to work, I tried to install something else. I forget what I just keep getting free stuff and trying it out. It's a sickness. Whatever it was wouldn't install. I tried something else, same problem. I uninstalled the Bad ass stuff and all was well. I'm trying it out again today.

No problem here.

Maybe you have two apps conflicting with each other?

I have the same problem. All is well if I disable it. It's still a nice app and I'll keep it. It's easy enough to disable and enable it again.

LOL how silly. That's exactly what I'm doing.

One other thing I've noticed. I've been playing around with the new Maxthon browser and found that since installing the battery icon, I can't post with that browser. Disabling the app returns posting ability again.
