ok, let me explain..
i installed the cab, and i have spb mobile shell as well installed that indicates battery status..
although the spb battery indicated i.e. 43% battery level, the original taskbar battery icon was 100% but i found out that i had to install a taskbar icon set in order to have it working properly..

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 !! :D



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

:)

Thank you so much. It is a really nice application!!!

This Is Gr8 work! thank you. Is it possible to do the same for signal bar also??



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:


Will keep adding more links to many taskbars...

answering prev pages Qs:

no this can not be done/applid to signal bars

no you don't have to "uninstall" the stock icons, just install a new icons set !!

yes you can always go back and uninstall any icons set at system -> remove programs

Same thing happened to me after installing and uninstalling this cab. The original battery bar is allways shows full. Can anyone tell us a solution for this little problem? :confused:
