How to Remove Battery Percentages on Xiaomi: All Working Methods

Xiaomi’s charge percentage indicator can distract from content, spoil the aesthetics of the interface, or simply annoy with the constant reminder of battery level. AMOLED-And so, for example, we've got a lot of screens where the charge numbers are imprinted on the display over long periods of time. Fortunately, the manufacturer and the community of enthusiasts have a number of ways to hide this element from the standard settings. MIUI to profound modifications of the system.

In this article, we will discuss 5 proven methods relevant to MIUI 12-15 (including global and Chinese versions of firmware). You will learn how to remove charge percentages without root, using ADB, through the themes of design and even by editing system files. Separately, we will focus on the nuances for the popular series — Redmi Note, Poco and Xiaomi 11/12/13, where the interface may differ. All instructions are tested on current versions of software (2026) and do not require special technical knowledge — just follow the step-by-step recommendations.

1. Standard MIUI settings: Where to look for a switch?

Starting with MIUI 12, the manufacturer added a built-in option to control the display of percentages of charge, but its location varies depending on the firmware version and regional build.

1. Open the "Settings" (the gear icon on the desktop).
2. Go to Always Display (or Display in Global Versions).
3. Select Status Bar (Status Bar).
4. Find Battery indicator style and tap it.
5. In the menu that opens, select Hide percentages or Icon without numbers.

If you don't have Battery Charge on your menu, the firmware doesn't support this out of the box option. In this case, move on to the following methods. On devices with MIUI 14+ for the European region, this option is often hidden - it can only be activated via ADB or themes.

2. Hiding interest through ADB (no root)

The Android Debug Bridge (ADB) method is one of the most reliable and works on 90% of Xiaomi devices, including the Redmi Note 10/11/12 and Poco F3/F4/F5. You will need a computer with Xiaomi drivers installed and USB debugging enabled on your smartphone.

Step-by-step:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About Phone and tap on MIUI Version 7 times.
2. Return to the basic settings, open the section Additional → For developers and enable debugging over USB.
3. Connect the phone to the PC, confirm the debugging permission on the smartphone screen.
4. Download ADB Tools and unpack the archive in any folder.
5. Open the command line (Win + R → cmd) and type:

adb shell settings put global battery_percent_hidden 1

Once you've done the command, restart the device. Charge percentages will disappear from the status bar. To return them back, use the same command, replacing 1 with 0.

Allow debugging over USB on the smartphone screen-->

⚠️ Note: On some devices (e.g. Xiaomi 13 Ultra) after upgrading to MIUI 15 this command is reset. You'll have to repeat the procedure after every major update.

3. Use of design themes (MIUI Themes)

If the standard settings and ADB didn't work, try installing a custom theme that hides the percentage of charge. This method doesn't require root and reversible -- just change the theme back. It's suitable for all MIUI 12-15 devices.

How to do this:

• 🎨 Open the Themes app (brush icon on desktop).
• 🔍 Type in the search box: No battery percent, Hide battery or Minimal status bar.
• 📲 Choose your favorite topic (pay attention to ratings and reviews) Example of working themes: "Pure Black", "Minimalist Dark".
• 🔄 Apply the theme and restart the device. The percentage of charge should disappear.

If the theme doesn’t work, check it’s compatible with your version of MIUI. Some themes are optimized for specific models (e.g. Redmi K50 or Poco X5 Pro).

4. editing system files (root required)

For advanced users who are ready to get root rights, there is a radical method - direct editing of the file SystemUI.apk. This method is guaranteed to remove the percentage of charge, but requires caution: wrong actions can lead to a bootloop (cyclic device reboot).

Instructions:

1. Install Magisk and get root (see instructions for your model on 4PDA or XDA Developers).
2. Download a root-enabled file manager (such as Root Explorer or Mixplorer).
3. Go to /system/priv-app/SystemUI/SystemUI.apk and back up the file.
4. Open SystemUI.apk in the APK Editor Pro (or similar).
5. Find the file. res/values/bools.xml and change the line: <bool name="show_battery_percent">true</bool> on <bool name="show_battery_percent">false</bool>
6. Save the changes, overwrite the original file, and restart the device.

⚠️ Attention: On devices with MIUI 15 and HyperOS this method can cause status bar errors (e.g. missing notification icons). Before editing, check for custom firmware for your model in the forums.

5. Alternative methods: from custom firmware to physical disguise

If none of these methods worked, consider radical or non-standard solutions, which are suitable for enthusiasts willing to sacrifice stability for the sake of the perfect interface.

• 📱 Custom firmware: Install LineageOS, Pixel Experience or ArrowOS, which makes the charge indicator more flexible. MIUI (Second Space or Game Turbo).
• 🎭 Magisk Modules: Magisk repository has modules like Battery Percent Enabler/Disabler. They work on most devices, but they can conflict with other modifications.
• 🖌️ Physical camouflage: Apply tinting to the status line area or use cases with a cutout under the screen (suitable for Poco) X3 Pro, Redmi Note 11S etc.).
• 🔄 Reset to factory settings: In rare cases, charge percentages appear after a system failure.Reset via Settings → The phone. → Reset can return standard indicator behavior.

💡

Before installing custom firmware, check its compatibility with your model on the XDA Developers website, especially for devices with MediaTek processors (for example, Redmi Note 12 5G), where incorrect firmware can “brick” the phone.

Frequent problems and their solutions

When you hide the percentage of charge, you're faced with common errors, and here are the most common ones and how to fix them:

• ❌ Interest returns after rebooting: This is typical of methods with ADB on MIUI 14+. The solution is to repeat the command or install the Settings Database Editor module from Magisk to fix changes.
• ❌ Battery icon is gone completely: Probably the theme is in conflict with system settings. Return the standard theme or roll back to factory settings.
• ❌ ADB Does not see the device: Check if the Xiaomi drivers are installed (you can download it on the official website). USB-cable (preferably original).
• ❌ After editing SystemUI.apk phone won't turn on: This means file damage.Restore backup through TWRP Or reflash the device using the Mi Flash Tool.

If you’re using Xiaomi with HyperOS (the new shell that replaced MIUI in 2026), consider that some methods may not work, and the only reliable ways to do so are custom firmware or waiting for updates from the development community.

💡

On HyperOS devices (such as the Xiaomi 14 or Redmi K70), standard methods of hiding percentages of charge are often blocked. Use custom solutions or wait for specialized modules for a new shell.
