How to hide charging percentages on Xiaomi Redmi: from MIUI to ADB

The Xiaomi Redmi Charging Percent is a useful feature for controlling the battery, but not everyone likes the constant presence of the battery.Some find the numbers distracting, some want to achieve a minimalist interface design, and some are just used to navigating the battery icon. Fortunately, the manufacturer and third-party developers offer several ways to remove percentages from the screen, from standard MIUI settings to deep system changes.

In this article, we will discuss 5 proven methods, including hidden firmware options, commands ADB, And even alternative launchers, and the important thing is that not all of these are universal, but they depend on the version. MIUI and smartphone models (for example, on the Redmi Note 12 Pro)+ redmi 10C Also note that some manipulations require superuser rights (root) or debugging. USB, What could affect the guarantee.

If you're a beginner, start with the first two sections (standard settings and themes). ADB And for those of you who are afraid of breaking something, we've prepared a new set of products. FAQ frequent-question.

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

The easiest way to remove charging percentages is to use the built-in MIUI options. Unfortunately, not all firmware versions have this feature out of the box, but it's worth checking first.

  1. Open the settings (cog icon on the desktop).
  2. Go to the Screen section (or additionally β†’ Screen on older versions).
  3. Find the battery status or charge indicator (the name may vary).
  4. Turn off the option to Show percentages or switch the display style to the Icon without numbers.

If there is no such item, don’t despair. On some models (for example, the Redmi Note 11 Pro with MIUI 14), the option is hidden deeper:

  • πŸ” Go to Settings. β†’ The phone. β†’ Version. MIUI and tap 7 times on the build number to activate the developer mode.
  • πŸ”§ Return to the main settings, open additionally β†’ For developers and look for the Battery Indicator there.
  • πŸ“± On some firmwares, the option only appears after you connect to Mi Account (check if you are logged in).
πŸ“Š What version? MIUI you have installed?
MIUI 12
MIUI 13
MIUI 14
MIUI 15 (HyperOS)
I don't know.

Important: After the firmware update, the settings may reset. Also on Redmi with HyperOS (a new interface from Xiaomi), the path to options may change - look for them in the Personalization section.

2.Use of design themes: masking percentages with design

If you don't have a direct switch in the settings, you can go around the corner, set a theme where the charging percentages are visually merged with the background or replaced with a minimalist icon, which doesn't remove the numbers physically, but makes them almost invisible.

How it works:

  1. Open the Themes app (all Redmis are available by default).
  2. In the search bar enter the requests: 🎨 Minimal battery πŸ”‹ No percent πŸ–ΌοΈ Transparent status bar

Choose a theme with a minimalist battery design (usually the description will tell you if it hides percentages).

Apply the theme and restart the phone.

⚠️ Note: Some themes may conflict with system fonts or icons. Check other users' reviews in the topic section before using them. Also note that after resetting or updating the firmware, the theme will reset to standard.

If the theme doesn’t hide the percentages completely, try turning off the β€œShow status bar” option in its settings – sometimes it helps.

3. ADB-Teams: Hide interest without root rights

For users ready for deeper settings, there is a way to disable charging percentages via Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a method that doesn’t require superuser rights, but requires a computer and enabled USB debugging.

Step-by-step:

  1. Activate Developer Mode (7 taps according to the MIUI version in the phone settings).
  2. Enable USB debugging in Settings β†’ Additional β†’ For developers.
  3. Download ADB Tools to your computer and unpack the archive.
  4. Connect Redmi to your PC via USB (select File Transfer Mode).
  5. Open the command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux) in the folder with ADB and type: adb devices Make sure the device is identified (its serial number should appear).
  6. Use the command to hide interest: adb shell settings put global status_bar_battery_show_percentage 0
  7. Reboot the phone.

Instructions:

  1. Open Root Explorer and follow the path: /system/cust/{region}/prop/local.prop (where {region} is your region, such as cn, eu, global).
  2. Add the following line to the end of the file: ro.statusbar.battery.barstyle=6 (number 6 is responsible for the style without interest).
  3. Save the file, set the rights 644 (rw-r--r---).
  4. Reboot the phone.

Alternative method (for firmware based on Android 12+):

  • πŸ” Install the MiuiSystemUIPlugin module via Magisk.
  • πŸ“± In the module settings, find the Battery Percentage option and turn it off.
  • πŸ”„ Reset the device.
What if the phone does not turn on after editing system files?
If Redmi has gone to bootloop after the changes, try it: 1. Log in Recovery Mode (Power button) + volume). 2. Select Wipe β†’ Advanced Wipe β†’ Dalvik/ART Cache and confirm. 3. If it doesn't work, we'll have to go through the Fastboot.

⚠️ Note: Editing system files without a backup may result in data loss or device failure.Be sure to back up through the backup before you start TWRP Or OrangeFox Recovery.

Third-party launchers: an alternative approach

If all previous methods have failed or seem too complicated, you can simply replace the standard MIUI launcher with an alternative. Many popular shells (for example, Nova Launcher, Lawnchair, Niagara Launcher) allow you to customize the status bar, including battery display.

How to do this:

  1. Install the selected launcher from Google Play.
  2. Assign it to the default launcher (at the first start, the system will prompt you to do this).
  3. In the launcher settings, find the Status Bar or Notification Panel section.
  4. Turn off the option to Show battery percentages or select a display style without numbers.
LauncherSupport for concealment %Additional benefits
Nova LauncherYes (via Nova TeslaCoil plugin)Flexible customization of icons and gestures
LawnchairYes (built-in option)Minimalist design, support for Android 13
Niagara LauncherPartially (depending on version)Convenient vertical list of applications

⚠️ Warning: Third-party launchers may conflict with system services MIUI, If you have lags or errors after installation, return to the standard launcher via Settings. β†’ Annexes β†’ By default.

Third-party launchers are the safest way to hide charging percentages, but they don’t affect display in the lock screen and some system menus.

Comparison of methods: which one to choose?

To make the choice easier, we have compiled a comparative table of all methods, indicating their pros, cons and difficulty level.

MethodDifficultyRequired. root/ADBReversibilitySuitable for
Standard settings of MIUI⭐ (simple)No.Yes.All models with current firmware
Design topics⭐⭐ (middle-of-the-road)No.Yes.Any Redmi with access to the theme store
ADB-team⭐⭐⭐ (difficult)I need a USB debugging.Yes.Advanced users without root
Root access⭐⭐⭐⭐ (difficult)Yeah, root.Partially (brick risk)Experienced users with backup
Third-party launchers⭐ (simple)No.Yes.All models, but not hiding % everywhere

For most users, the best solution will be the themes of design or ADB-The first one is quick visuals, the second one is a system solution without risk to warranty, and you should only consider Root methods if you are confident in your skills and ready for the consequences.

If you are still in doubt about which way to choose, answer the following questions:

  • πŸ”Ή Do you want to completely remove interest or just mask it?
  • πŸ”Ή Are you ready for a possible loss of warranty (if it is root)?

FAQ: Frequent questions about hiding charging percentages

❓ Why After Updating MIUI Charging percentages have reappeared?
Firmware updates often reset user settings, including system settings that have been changed through ADB or root. To return to the same view: Repeat ADB (if you used it), update the theme (if you used it), check the launcher settings (if you used it). HyperOS may need to re-activate the developer mode after the update.
❓ Can you remove interest only on the lock screen?
Yes, but not on all firmware. Try: Go to Settings β†’ Lock screen and look for Battery Style option. Set a theme that only modifies the lock screen (e.g. Lockscreen Minimal). Use the Xposed/LSposed module with settings for SystemUI. On MIUI 14+ and HyperOS, a separate lock setting is often missing.
❓ Will these methods work on Redmi with custom firmware (e.g. LineageOS)?
On custom firmware (not on the MIUI) The way to setup is different. Usually, the charging percentage is managed through: β†’ System system β†’ Status Bar (for LineageOS) Settings β†’ Interface (for Pixel Experience) File /system/build.prop (power-user) ADB-The team may not work because the status bar settings are different. MIUI.
❓ Why, after using it, ADB The interest disappeared, but after a day came back?
This is because MIUI periodically resets some system settings to "optimize." Solutions: Lock the command via Tasker or Automate to run when booting. Use the Magisk module to apply changes constantly. Turn off Auto-Optimization in battery settings (but this can reduce performance).
❓ Is there a risk that after hiding the interest, I won't be able to track the battery charge?
Yeah, but it can be minimized: πŸ”‹ Use a battery widget on your desktop (e.g. Battery Widget Reborn). πŸ“Š Include low charge notifications in Settings β†’ Battery. πŸ”„ Periodically check the charge level in the notification curtain. AMOLED-screens (e.g. Redmi) K60) The battery icon without interest still gives an approximate idea of the charge due to the color of the indicator.
