Yes, the kernel signature is checked at boot. But perhaps it`s possible to change this module at runtime. Single modules are not checked as far as i know. That`s why it`s possible to load the overclock module.
I don`t wanna build a new kernel, just change the battery driver module.
But as i said, i haven`t successfully compiled the module. So i don`t post a solution, it`s just that i know a possible way to solve the problem on codebase.
We`ll see if it works. Perhaps it does, perhaps not.
Thanks for the explanation. Fingers crossed you can get it working :)

Defy shows with motorola increments for a value like (x+1)0 from x6 - (x+1)5.
Means if it shows 90% it can be from 86-95.
40% means it can be from 36-45.
So if the battery is at 96% it will show Full but you can charge further cause you haven`t reached the real 100%.
That`s also why your battery directly drops after unplugging.
Yes but isn't that a design flaw then? Who knows how many people unplug the charger because the lock screen says the battery is full while it actually isn't?
