1% battery increments

andrew_sh · Jan 25, 2009

I searched the xperia forum and I am not able to find information about this issue.
I would like to help making a new battery.dll.
I am trying to contact CRCinAU who did this successfuly for trinity so he can spread some light.
Has any of you already tried battery.dll from blackstone on his xperia?
Or has anyone made any steps towards a working solution?

Thanks

From what I've read, the X1 battery controller supports no other than 10% increments. If the hardware is not able to tell the software what the % is, nothing can help you.

yes but that's what everyone believed for the tytn, trinity and I think hermes as well! Could you show me where you read this?

You are correct, Also back in the days. TyTN II only -10% and now every rom has -1%.

well it seems no one is interested.
CRCinAU has not replied to my message either.
The solution is probably identical to the other devices that had this issue so it's just a matter to get some hints (where to look inside battery.dll).

I can hardly believe it, but if you do make a find, don't hesitate to post it.

here the same if you can find an solution then i also would welcome when you post it here

I tested one of thse power drivers (its a dll in the end) and didnt work... It would have to be adapted for the xperia

YYYYY · Feb 5, 2009

...and it has to be cooked-in as far as I remember form the TyTn roms.

cHarOn99 · Feb 5, 2009

to cook it inside isnt an problem at all, but to get an working dll or whatever is needed is the problem

gtrab · Feb 5, 2009

I can send you the power driver "as is"

PM me

cHarOn99 · Feb 5, 2009

yes do so, then i will make some tests with it and cook some roms, i think if we really find an solution then all cookers will use it.

Well yeah, if you'd be able to get this working, it'd be a huge breakthrough.

Alas I don't have time to take this on as yet another project.

cHarOn99 · Feb 5, 2009

the question is, is it really only an driver limitation, or is it really an hardware limitation, maybe i should look into the Hermes Threads a little bit?
also it would be interessting if we could find an other WM Phone with same hardware

and maybe this dll should work then hehee

Angelusz · Feb 5, 2009

The most similar device is the touch HD, which has a different battery controller (1% increments already work there).

I think looking into the hermes threads will teach you a lot. Where to look, for instance?

Here it is guys:

User "nue" has a very ineteresting collection of very useful apps
He has managed to modify the power driver to allow 1% increments for Vogue and TyTn, but I also read working reports in a Diamond thread: They combined sdkcert + tsownes battery icons (has the full 0->100% icons) + nuePower driver and succeeded

Here's the link to nue's download site:

PS: take a look at battery.dll

I was searching for the same thing, 1% increments, and came across someone on XDA froums who had changed the icons for battery, signal etc and also included 1% increments for battery. I installed them a couple of days ago and they worked fine. The only reason I removed it was because I was I need the time and battery up there and couldn't find a solution other than SBP which replaces adds an extra battery while windows replaces the original battery with the time.

cHarOn99 · Feb 6, 2009

which one did you use??????

The cab is called FInixNOverBattery

I have just reinstalled it, and it's showing 70% battery. To be honest, on further investigation, I'm not sure if it is actually showing 1% increments on the X1. I'll leave it running a while to see, but I have a feeling it's just showing 10% increments.

Sorry guys, this could be a false alarm.

cHarOn99 · Feb 6, 2009

oh no this doesnt change the battery.dll it is only an battery icon skin

in 10% steps, ok have to search more and play around with the touch-hd battery.dll.
