This is the original battery indicator around punch hole cameras, Energy Ring. Beware of dangerous fake Apps.

With the latest update, Energy Ring can glow up when any App/System accesses camera / microphone / GPS, this is courtesy of Access Dots App integration.

Adds a configurable Energy Ring around the camera lens indicating current Battery level. Dive into the various configuration options, not only you can quickly glance and get the battery info but, Energy Ring adds an accent to your phone's camera lens.


Got a full charge? The Ring will be a 360 degree wrap around the front camera lens.
Battery depleting? So will the arc of Energy Ring.

Out of the box features:-

✓ Energy Ring can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to a donut thick ring
✓ Energy Ring puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
✓ Energy Ring's direction can be configured as clockwise/bidirectional/anti-clockwise
✓ Energy Ring can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
✓ Energy Ring can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
✓ Energy Ring could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient (pro)
✓ You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
✓ Energy Ring has a number of cool animations whenever a power source is plugged into your device


All that is cool! But what about Energy Ring consuming Battery?!

This is one of the most exciting question for me to answer. Energy Ring more than anything understands that you need to utilize your battery efficiently (after all, that's why you installed the App, right? ;) .) Energy Ring sits on the screen silently putting almost 0% load on CPU, if battery level changes, Android wakes up Energy Ring. Once awake, Energy Ring quickly updates itself and goes back to sleep. And to be that extra efficient, the Ring goes on deep sleep when you turn off the screen, meaning it doesn't even read changes in battery level when the screen is off.

Accessibility Service Requirement:
Android requires Energy Ring to run as an Accessibility Service, to be able to display on Lock Screen. It does not read/monitor any data, whatsoever. This is especially useful for people who have disability to read numbers and work better with visual data.

No charging animation?
Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements > Remove Animations > uncheck if it's checked.


Energy Ring disappearing on Xiaomi devices?
Setting>Apps>Manage apps>Energy Ring> *Turn on Autostart*

Screen burn-in:
The original variant of the App, Energy Bar has been used over several years by users on their AMOLED devices, there has been no complains. But there is no claim that it may not happen.

Re-enable after exiting power saving mode:
If you enter into power saving mode, Energy Ring will be disabled by the System, to re-activate you must restart your device.

Ratings and reviews

This app is good and I use it on a couple of devices but a recent update makes it so that every time your phone is connected to a power source a battery usage monitor appears, so if you're in another app and plug your phone in it'll switch apps to that. There's a toggle for this feature but you have to PAY THE DEVELOPER MONEY if you want to be able to turn it off. Edit2: Dev has removed the compromise and now a full screen ad pops up after every full charge. It's not horrible but is annoying.

Used it for years and it was flawless. Until latest updates. Loud ads popping up when phone restarts, sometimes even randomly. I'd rather pay a small price for this app than get bombarded with irritating ads randomly. Sadly I have to uninstall. That will be hard as I got used to the ring within nearly 3 years but I can't accept the dev's policy on ads.

All working again after the ajune 2023 update (thank you). This app is superb. See your remaining battery quickly and from a long way away, with optional colours to help you assess the state. It really is impressive and adds a prime feature to your phone, with almost no impact on battery life. Any new bugs are quickly eliminated. Top class!
