[UTIL] Ethermind's BATTERY DRIVER UPGRADE (1% increments) for XPERIA - CAB installer

---

Ethermind's BATTERY DRIVER UPGRADE
for the XPERIA X1

DESCRIPTION

• This CAB will install Ethermind's upgraded BATTERY DRIVER for the XPERIA X1, allowing the phone to display the taskbar's battery status in up to 1% increments
• Registry settings to enable % battery readings are also included in the CAB

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Install MS SDKcerts first (some custom ROMs as mine already come with SDKcerts pre-installed)
2. Copy the CAB to device and click to install
3. Install any %-enabled battery taskbar icons set of your choice; a custom taskbar ehancement / skin with % icons is required because the stock taskbar doesn't have % battery icons. See post 2 for some links

DESCRIPTION

• All credits to Ethermind for the upgraded battery driver
• I have tested it on STOCK ROMs and my custom SEX1 ROMs, please test and report how it behaves on other custom ROMs
• In my experience, the driver's accuracy is slightly diminished in the upper range, but who cares ?? It works !!
• DOCTOR'S WARNING: Displaying your battery status in 1%s is ADDICTIVE !!

If you like my works, just come back and say "thanks"
Enjoy

To "see" the % icon on the taskbar, a battery or full taskbar icons set (skin) with 100 battery icons is required (one icons for each %)

Here are some battery-only or full taskbar icons skins:

• SEX1 Battery Enhancer with WM6.5 icons for Windows Mobile 6.1 & 6.5
  [EDIT] (SEX1 Batt Enhancer install CAB already includes Ethermind's power driver inside)
• FinixNover's battery icons set
• Tsowen: ver 3, 4, 5 & 6.5
• Angelusz's tsowens for XPERIA
• SEX1cons "X series" for WM6.5
• SEX1cons "X series" for WM6.1
  [EDIT]: X series is currently 5% capable only, will update soon
• SEX1cons "Q series"
• SEX1cons "F series"
• Ahen 6a & 6b battery / taskbar icons
• Simplle battery icons with old style taskbar icons
  
• Other taskbar icons sets or battery sets... (please report)

Will keep adding more links to many taskbars...

We didn't have Ethermind's upgraded driver when I created the X series, I wass tempted to make 10% icons only, but I decided to put 5% increments just in case

My expectations were exceeded by Ethermind's bright mind !!
Now I have to upgrade the X series filling all the missing icons
Lot's of work to do, so let's start !!

Good job, thanks bro.

Thank you. This made my day

I use it with WMMiniBattery v1.2 - the pixel bar on top of the screen.

It´s working for me with only a minor bug that when fully
charged it doesn´t stay at 100% it drops to 98%.
Thanks!

plug it back in for a couple of mins, it should work then........ i had this problem until i was told how to correct it...... thanks to gtrab
