get battery icon back on the top

[store2000]

I'm running a AKU 3.5 kitchen ROM and have the battery on the system tray (bottom of the screen).

I don't mind a rebuild, its the hard reset I'm trying to avoid.

WITHOUT a hard reset, is there a way to bring the battery icon back to the top instead of an icon on the lower bar / system tray.

PS: I've already tried

Hide/Show battery indicator in Task bar
If you wish to hide the battery indicator in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all. For example, the HTC Wizard regularly ships with a battery indicator in the Tray instead, governed by "Windows\Startup\Init_Tray.exe".

The registry entry is already 1 and I don't see the init_tray.exe in the startup folder either.
