AMOLED-And the manufacturer has, fortunately, provided several ways to hide this element, and for advanced users, there are some unobvious tricks through the use of pixels. ADB or editing system files.
In this article, we will look at all the current methods, from standard MIUI settings to manual firmware intervention. Note that some methods require unlocking the bootloader or root rights, which may affect the warranty. We will separately note the safe options that do not violate Xiaomi’s policy.
1. Standard MIUI settings: the easiest way
Most modern smartphones Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO based on MIUI 12/13/14 allow you to turn off the percentage of charging directly in the settings menu. This method works without additional manipulation and is suitable for 90% of users.
To remove the numbers next to the battery icon:
- Open the Settings app (the gear icon on the home screen).
- Go to the Screen section (or additionally → Screen on some models).
- Find Status bar or Notification panel.
- Activate the switch Hide the percentage of charging (the name may differ: Show the battery level → turn off).
If you don't have one, your model doesn't support this out of the box option, so move on to the following.
2. Hidden MIUI settings: Developer mode
On some firmware, the option is hidden in the developer menu, so you can activate it:
- Go to Settings. → The phone.
- Click 7 times in a row on the MIUI version (you will be notified “You became a developer”).
- Go back to the main settings menu and open a new section for developers.
- Find the Notification Panel and the status bar → Battery percentage.
- Choose the option to hide or not show.
⚠️ Attention: POCO F3/F4 And some Redmi Note models may not have this item even in developer mode, so try updating the firmware to the latest version or use it. ADB-method (see section) 4).

3.Use of MIUI themes: a workaround
If the system settings do not allow you to remove the percentage, you can disguise it with custom themes. Many themes from the official Xiaomi Themes store offer an alternative status bar design, where the battery indicator is displayed without numbers.
How to apply the topic:
- 🎨 Open the Themes app (brush icon on the home screen).
- 🔍 Type in the following terms: No battery percent, Minimal status bar, or Clean UI.
- 📲 Choose your favorite theme and click Apply (some themes are paid for).
- ⚙️ After application, check if other settings (for example, wallpaper or fonts) have gone wrong).
The disadvantage of the method: the themes can conflict with system applications or reset after updating MIUI. Not all the topics support it. POCO Launcher or Redmi models.

4. ADB-Teams: for advanced users
If previous methods failed, you can disable charging percentages via Android Debug Bridge (ADB) – this method requires connecting the phone to a PC and basic command line knowledge, but does not violate the warranty (unless root is used).
Step-by-step:
- Download and install Platform Tools on your computer.
- Turn on the phone debugging over USB (Settings → For developers).
- Connect your smartphone to your PC and enter the command in the terminal (command line): adb shell settings put global battery_percent_style 0 where 0 — conceal, 1 — show off, 2 — sideways.
- Reset the device.
⚠️ Note: On some models (Xiaomi) 12T, Redmi K50) This command may not work due to manufacturer restrictions, in which case you will need to edit system files (see section 5), which requires root rights.
| Xiaomi model | Support ADB-team | Alternative method |
|---|---|---|
| Redmi Note 10/11 | ✅ Yes. | Standard settings |
| POCO X3/X4 | ✅ Yes. | MIUI themes |
| Xiaomi 12/13 | ❌ No (lockdown) | Root + editing systemui |
| Redmi K40/K50 | ⚠️ Partially. | Update to MIUI 14 |
5. editing system files (root only)
If you're willing to take drastic measures, you can manually edit your firmware files, which permanently removes the percentage of charging even after you reset, so it's only suitable for advanced users.
Instructions:
- Get root rights (for example, through Magisk).
- Install a file manager with root support (such as Root Explorer or Solid Explorer).
- Go to /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk/res/values/
- Open the file. strings.xml and find a line: <string name="battery_percent_format">%d%%</string> Replace her with: <string name="battery_percent_format"></string>
- Save the changes, restart the phone.
⚠️ Warning: Incorrect editing of system files can lead to bootloop ( looped boot). TWRP Or OrangeFox Recovery.
💡
If the phone stopped loading after editing SystemUI.apk, boot to Recovery Mode (Power + Volume Up buttons) and restore the backup or reflash SystemUI via ADB Sideload.
6.Alternative launchers: a radical solution
If none of these methods worked, you can completely replace the standard MIUI launcher with a third-party one. Many alternative shells (for example, Nova Launcher, Lawnchair) allow you to customize the status bar, including hiding the percentage of charging.
How to set up:
- 📥 Install a launcher from Google Play (recommended Nova Launcher Prime).
- 🔧 Open the launcher settings and find the Status Bar or Notification Panel section.
- 🔄 Activate the option Hide the battery indicator or Custom status bar.
- 🎨 If necessary, adjust transparency, color and other parameters.
Cons:
- ⚠️ Certain functions MIUI (Game Turbo or Second Space may not work properly.
- 🔋 Launchers consume additional RAM (up to 100-200 MB).
💡
Alternative launchers are the only way to remove the percentage of charging on models with a locked bootloader (for example, Xiaomi 13 Ultra for the Chinese market), where it is impossible to get root or use ADB.
