    Were there two files listed?
    If so, which one did you edit? What was its size (length) compared to the other one?
    If not, did you sort by path to find it? If you didn't, you could have edited the wrong of the in fact two existent files.

    There's only one file listed. It's 1 KB. (just so you know) and yes, I used the path thing to find it.

    Did you copy/paste the exact text? Double-check to make sure it's right. It works on my iPod touch 5g, and others'.

    I took a literal screenshot (I have no idea how to do a screenshot on my laptop), but yes, I copied and pasted it exactly as it is.

    Should I just do a complete restore with iTunes and try again?

    Looks ok. Did you save the file and restore the backup to your device by pressing CTRL + T?

    Yes, I did restore using iBackupBot. It booted up normally, but nothing showed up near the battery icon.

    Hmm...I'd say restore with iTunes as a new device, then back up, edit the file on the new backup, and restore the new backup to it. (You can always revert to your old backup)

    Ok. I'll try that.
    Thank you! I restored it as a new iPod Touch and tried again. It works perfectly now! Thank you so much!
    Edit: Okay, I know what I was doing wrong, apparently there were two files, but i only saw one of them. Since it wasn't working. I decided to see if there was another file, and I found it near the bottom. I edited that one and now it works.

    I have successfully added the battery percentage feature to a 3rd gen, 4th gen and 5th gen iPod Touch. So yes it does work on the newest Touch. Also, after adding the code to my 5th gen mine wouldn't restart either. Tried 3 times and after opening up iTunes with the Touch connected, it finally came back on. I was nervous for a sec. Whew!

    This makes me wonder what else we could do to "mod" our non-JB devices. o_O
