1% increment battery driver
- Thread starter Chainfire

battery.dll is there, but impossible to see. Please try ROMExtract tool and enter \Windows\battery.dll as file to extract. It may work. I had to completely dump my device to get it...
What device are you using BTW, unbranded TP2, or branded?
edit: the problem was that ROMExtractor didnt see the battery.dll ... I copied it over Resco file explorer... see in attachment.
I dont understand the question about branded/not branded. I bought it normally in the shop and its not anyhow connected to my GSM provider.

Then you have an unbranded device.
If it was a branded device, there would be an T-mobile logo (or other provider) on the backside or something. And maybe the software was different.
I found out how to dump my ROM from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=501871
thank you DaveShaw
but after that I was completely stuck, and couldn't find a working link for ROMExtract so I have posted what I extracted in the hope it is some good

This is from a Vodafone branded TP2
ROM Version 1.14.161.5 (50207) WWE
ROM Date 05/19/09
Radio Version 3.44.25.27
Protocol Version 61.25t.25.19U

Err yes, this one is the file that my CAB installed
Still think there is miscommunication here somewhere, though.
Screenshots - I have no charging plugged in and the taskbar icon shows that I am charging anyway.
Yesterday I had battery like 50% and the icon was showing "full battery". You can notice slight line of color pixels on the top. Thats Batti program. When I had 50% yesterday Batti was correct (I even think there was 1% incrementation). Just the taskbar icon is wrong - showing always full battery, showing charging when i dont...

That is strange indeed. BUT - if Batti does show correct, then the problem is not the updated battery.dll ... Could you disconnect from cradle etc, turn on bluetooth, wifi, data connection, etc, keep screen on, to drain battery fastest way and see if Batti "gradually" declines battery or in big "chunks" (10 of them, hehe) ?
If Batti shows it gradually getting less, than the battery driver is good. Makes me wonder WTH is going on with your icons, though.
NOTE: I had a similar problem once with a custom ROM, but never found out what the problem was...

I can extract the files from the RAWs, that is not a problem. However, RapidShare is not letting me download the file as of yet. I'll try again later.
the Batti decrements by 1% definitly. I've been just looking on it. Dunno whats wrong with my icons :-( But I will keep that driver because i am using batti primary (icon in taskbar sometimes disappers while browsing some menus).
The icon display and the battery driver are two completely different things... ideally you would use this driver and a "custom taskbar". These custom taskbars contains icons and reg entries to actually SHOW the 1% difference in the icons. Search for "tsowen", you'll find many of them.

1I promised in one of the threads here that I would look into our (EU !) Rhodiums only reporting battery in 10% increments. As I received my Rhodiums today I did look into this. However, I didn't figure it out. I did see the structure of the battery driver and recalled no2chem mentioned a similar structure for the CDMA Touch Pro (1) - not like the GSM Touch Pro (1). So I hooked up with him on IRC and he pretty much held my hand making a 1% increment battery driver for the TP2.
So I learned a new trick and made this, all of the credit is to no2chem. I just extracted the files, sent them to him, had him walk me through the changes (and have him explain how and why), packaged it up, and this is the result. Tested on my own TP2!
no2chem's donation link is here: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/Donate.aspx.
Obviously, for the 1% incremental battery icons on the taskbar you will still need an icon pack and the registry entries. Refer to your favorite taskbar mod for this.
By the way, keep an eye out for no2chem's improved battery drivers - he also showed me how to do USB fastcharge and the likes. I will not mess with this, but I'm sure one day he will
EDIT: As further credit, no2chem was partially shown this trick by cmonex, whom we all know, respect and love
EDIT#2: If this driver does not work right for you (it should, though), you can also try Quentin-'s new driver: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556318. This uses a different battery driver version as source, this one from a US device (the one I used is from an EU device).
