I'd really like to have an icon, but more precise than the normal Microsoft one...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheBlasphemer:
I was very interrested to know how the icon was changed with T-Mobile's ROM, so I extracted the Extended ROM and ran it on my HTC Universal. Unfortunately it didn't work, which makes me think that either it's not supported on the Universal (which seems very unlikely since it's both WM5 ;)), OR it's an AKU 2.1+ feature, OR it's not in the Extended ROM...

If someone does find out how to extract it, please do tell :)

EDIT:

Could you check in the About screen in Settings->System what Build number (should be four numbers) this ROM is?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mwang:
dont forget Universal is VGA and this was QVGA :wink:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheBlasphemer:
In the normal UI it's running as QVGA, and to any app that doesn't do dodgy device IO (which will not be necesarry for this sort of things ;)), the wizard and universal will look the same :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cuboosh:
lol i like the green icon :X
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 1-2tje:
Strangly i have a different format build number:

"Besturingssysteem 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)"

it's for sure an AKU 2.0 ROM
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
I have made this little fix. It works fine on t-mobile 2.21.2.7 CSY ROM, you could try it on other roms, maybe it will work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eelco_akker:
Nice one.

Now I can see my battery with the green theme from the Hermes :-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bhang:
Id like the green one...

If somebody can strip that green battery icon from its rom and make a cab, or even just the files and paths so I could put that thing on my Wiz.

I like it... to each his own

I used the latest TMOB rom here in the states it shows

IPL 2.26

SPL 2.26

GSM 2.25.11

OS 2.26.10.2

The rom I used "COOKED BY EXCELIN" but based on the new tmob release and it has the white battery... I also tried the TMOB 2.26 stock rom and it was white also, and the dial pad was DISGUSTING

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
Here are the new versions.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] malatesta:
Holy awesome! This worked on my HTC Apache/WM5 aku 2.1! (I used version #3, which is much more informative).

Thanks! :P

Edit: Jimm98y, I don't suppose it woudl be possible to just make an icon like version #3 but no battery icon around it e.g. just the numbers (and maybe bigger)? Or are those the limits/not possible? tia
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
It's possible, I could try it... But only with icons "10", "20"... I tried to make a battery indicator with icons "1", "2", "3"... "100" and it's impossible because I couldn't sign this dll in this case.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
I've attached a new version - is it what did you mean?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ady:
Great job jimmy... love the new battery bar.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] malatesta:
that's exactly what I mean! Thanks so much! The battery icon is actually useful now. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
finally, it's done! here is a new version:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] malatesta:
wow, single digit increments? now that's a nice feature!

(can't be done to version #4? or does what you say in your above post about signing still hold true?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
I found a way how to sign it, but the program which I used costs 199USD (I used a 30 day evaluation version)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theshrink:
is there no way to get this to work on the tmobile 2.26?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] malatesta:
oh there has to be a way around that problem... :lol: what's the name of the program?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
it's resource tuner console http://www.reseditor.com/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
I don't have this rom and my phone is still cid locked, so I can't try it. If this fix doesn't work, you could try to find the file called phcanOverbmp.dll in your windows folder a upload it here and I see what can I do
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] malatesta:
damn. yeah can't help you there.

I don't suppse this thread is of any help? I assume you probably read all this stuff already and I know jack about it...but figured it's worth a shot!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bmod:
@Jimm98y

real great work --> thx for it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
yes, I read it before, but there is nothing helpful... But now, I can edit this new file with resource hacker (only replacing icons, I cannot add/remove nothing) so it's possible to make some new skins... I'm going to make a new skin like greenbatteryfix4
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shaks1979:
Hi

After enabling the top (taskbar?) battery icon on the mda vario II and disabling the bottom battery icon (tray?) I installed the green batteryfix to get the better icons however it changed the 3g icon to a E icon when on 3g. On GPRS it stays a G. Can the E be changed back to a 3g icon? Otherwise the tweak works perfectly.

Shaks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
So that the battery icon has changed? I know that this file from Hermes is primary used to change umts icon when connected via umts. This tweak is made for wizard, but if you send me the phcanoverbmp.dll(it's in windows folder) from hermes, I could see what I can do with it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
I have made a new version of the greenbatteryfix5 (thanks to meschle for help) - it's finally one cab version:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ET:
Thanks a lot Jimmy98y, this a great little tool :!:

Now, I run a qtek ROM on my T-mobile vario, therefore I don't have the green indicator. The thing is i like to have the green indicator as well as I like to use your're tool. Is it possible to make a new cab. file (#5 with single didgits) with the green icon? This would be great, mayby ther are more fans that like to have this feature?

Thanx in advance, greetz ET
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
I can try it, but it mean that I must recolor all 70 icons! It takes a lot of time!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ET:
Oops, didn't realize that :?

Well, hmm let me know if you find the time if you feel up to the challenge I quess....... :wink:

Greetz ET
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shaks1979:
Hi the battery icon changed correctly however it also changed the 3G to an E

Shaks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
that's good but I need the phcanoverbmp.dll file from your windows folder...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shaks1979:
Already pm'd to you just after sending you the last message however had to change the extension to .txt as the forum will not allow dll's or blank extensions

Shaks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] malatesta:
I dont' suppose this is on your eventual to do list? Or rather, is it still not possible for you to make a skin like #4 but w/single digits (b/c of the cannot add/remove images)? thanks for all your work on this btw...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
it's possible now, but I'm still installing new software on my device, because I performed hard reset yesterday... And I must redraw all 100 icons a then I must one by one replace them, so it takes much of time
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] malatesta:
gotcha, not a problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
Hello, I've made a new version:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] malatesta:
Very awesome.

Although, I just found out my device doesn't count by single increments... :lol:

Still, it's very easy to read now. Great work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] minty1978:
Hi, I have been searching for the answer for the past hour...

how do you enable the battery bar at the top??

I have disabled the bottom one.

Thanks,

Thanks mate.....

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
Yes, I think I can do it. Send me PM which version would you like
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
Here is VGA version of greenbatteryfix6, but I cannot test it so I don't know if it works
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jjjyen:
It works,thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 407alex407:
Very nice app!

On my Qtek 9000 (WM5), when i plug it, the icon visualizes "100" and not a "plug", but the battery is not 100%!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
I'm sorry, but as I said before: I don't have qtek 9000 and this fix is created for qtek 9100, so I cannot test it... If someone have T-Mobile MDA Pro (or qtek 9000 with t-mobile rom) with green battery icon (I don't know if this icon is in t-mobile mda pro rom) and can send me the phcanoverbmp.dll file from it, I can try to make new fix.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hanmin:
works nicely ...

I need a world time in my today screen (using a plugin), and hence the clock on the today screen isn't that particular useful for me. So, this fix rocks!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cyrilng:
Works on HTC Touch Diamond, although it doesn't show the plug icon when charging, when you tap on the battery status it does show as charging. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ionrage:
Works on my Diamond but changes the keypad on the first screen when you key in the SIM code and also the icons in the Call History to what I presume is the default in WM6.1. Uninstall it and everything is back as it were :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikkelnl:
Same 'problem' here: data icons are changed (look smaller, less bold), and no charging-icon. Too bad, I uninstalled but a really looking for an easy replacement for the default battery icon...:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Brevi:
On Diamond it also makes the H/G/E Symbol in the top row look really ugly and small. fine again after uninstall.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lit2fly:
agree, can anyone fix the data icon font problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] obender:
I have quite an opposite problem :) it changed E icon to 3G on my HTC Diamond when there is no 3G around :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ktoso the Ryba:
Fantastic mod! Yeah. it does change these icons but I'll cope with it in order to have battery percentage displayed - very important for me ;-) Hope you could improve it a little (changing sys icons) but otherwise a great app. Thank you for it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Summerboy1986:
Is it possible to undo these settings or to make a backup?

any news on the greenbattteryfix for the HTC Touch Diamnodn resp. MDA Compact IV

I have tried greenbatteryfix6_673 but the data icons are screwed up and I do not know how to uninstall the grennbatteryfix - cannot remove the phcoverbmp.dll which 1,1 MB big

Anybody can tell me how to uninstall the greenbatteryfix?

Thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SurfHost:
He Jimm98y thanks a lot for the nice job! :)

Could you make one with the Diamond version of phcanOverbmp.dll?

Maybe it'll fix the VGA issues with the 3G icons?

I attached the version included in the latest WWE 1.93 ROM.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mavericksam:
call icons disabled

hi jimmy,

thanks for the great batt indicator. great job!

found out that once installed, it will disable Diamond's call history icons and also the sim pin input screen skin. bug? :confused:

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SurfHost:
It replaces the phcanOverbmp.dll which doesn't includes those icons.

I tried to edit the phcanOverbmp.dll from Diamond myself, and succeeded but i cannot overwrite it, neither can i create a working cab file which is signed with a trusted certificate. Anyone who can help out on this?

The attached phcanOverbmp.dll shows steps of 5%

the following registry entries also are changed with greenbatteryfix so i guess they are needed also.

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003E9

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mkevin:
The problem isn't in the cab it's in dll actualy... If you replace dll in green battery by original - instalation is ok but if you replace it by yours - certificate needed...

what program do you use for make it? May be ResHack will be mo usefull?

Looking for that one also...

Please share.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] obender:
I think I would be beneficial for everybody if we could summarize what versions of the indicator software work with what versions of the diamond (ROM version?)

So for example fix5 works fine (no broken icons) with regular HTC diamond (ROM 1.93.x Asian)

Would be nice to hear if there are higher versions of the software that work with latest ROMs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Lilhit82:
But nothings for this battery icon?

Hi Jimmy

I installed greenbatteryfix5 and it works, but on startup all my graphics (numbers) on my dialpad are gone, that is my screen is all white and I can't type my pin code. It worked again after uninstalling. The same happens with version 6.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dansblackcat:
That is the battery icon used in this rom -

I installed this cab but my dial pad at startup i strange and the battery icon is not clean, but i don't know why!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Hypocritus:
Everyone who really used this bit o' software should donate (that is a link) at least a dollar or two to Jimm98y, the originator of this very helpful tweak. Do I even know jimmy, or really who he is? No. Why should we donate? He provided a service (to anyone who found this useful) that is worth at least this amount.

If 1000 people each donated one dollar, that's a thousand dollars. Does he deserve at least that much? yes! Valuable service. One or two dollars (or more, if you've got it) per person. Pocket change for all of us who own pocket PCs.

Do we as a community usually pay free-software makers for their products? No. Why? Three reasons. (1) We don't think about donating (even 1 or 2 dollars). (2) We don't see an easy way to donate. (3) We are concerned about being charged too much (for those who have fixed fees, like $10 minimum or something).

So when the easy opp comes along to contribute -- especially an amount that you are comfortable with -- to those who are not forcing us to pay, let's pay them a bit; and many small contributions means a well deserved return for the author who was not really expecting much, if anything. Nice, unexpected (& well-deserved) ______ (insert favorite occasion here) present? Yes.

Oh, yeah. And the tweak worked for me. An Apache WM6.1 mod (Helmi_C). Think I had to change a couple of reg settings or so. And I did have to run the Sdkcerts.cab, even though I have WM6.1 .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marcdu81:
Hi,it's normal because the application works only with vga format,it was for the Diamond ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
Here's the new version for HTC Touch Pro, it should work on Diamond too. I've used the icons from my greenbatteryfix for Universal, maybe in the future I'll change them. I hope you'll enjoy it.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mister B:
Installed version 6 on my kaiser. Working great. Best battery display available for QVGA devices. Thanks for all your efforts on this project.

Out of interest is it possible to make the icon use more width or did you have to stick with original pixel sizes ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Scoooby555:
Which version is best for diamond 2?

I just installed version 6 and it's not 100% ok. It doesn't show whole icon. All I get is number without % sign and without bottom end of battery icon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
Hi, the best version for your device would probably be the Battery6_VGA_TouchPro. It's created for high DPI devices (VGA and WVGA resolution). Works fine on HTC Touch Pro.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Scoooby555:
Jimmy...thanks for your answer. But I can't find cab file with name Battery6_VGA_TouchPro in your zip file on rapidshare. Did you mean this one "Jimm98y_GreenBatteryFix_TouchPRO.CAB" or mybe "greenbatteryfix_VGA_HTC_Universal.CAB".

I also tried Jimm98y_GreenBatteryFix_TouchPRO.CAB and it does the same. No % sign and no bottom battery icon line.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimm98y:
That's not an issue, there should not be a percent sign in the battery icon. The reason is simple - there's not enough space for that sign and without it the number can be bigger so you can easily read it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Scoooby555:
Ohh...I didn't know that...about % sign. Thank you.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Gadgety:
I got the Note 8 with LTE, stock Android 4.0.2, and signed up for a one year, country based unlimited Skype Out subscription.

The Skype experience was initally frustrating, where the audio was erraticallly routed between internal and external speaker on the device, and not reliably to the Bluetooth headset. The dial pad didn't when reaching switchboards requiring dialling a number or hash sign. I switched to v 3... where sound functioned a little bit better, but dial pad was still not functioning once reaching the switchboard. Skype v 3.. also worked better for tablets because it displayed in landscape mode.

As of the latest version, v 4.6.0.42007 of Feb 18, 2014, the sound now gets correctly routed and works with the BT headset!The dial pad also functions in switchboards. Additionally, Skype automatically switches between landscape and portrait mode. Yay!!

Finally, this now functions as a normal phone using Skype Out flat fee.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Naith32:
Does anyone know whether the latest Skype update works OK with the Note 8.0? I've been using an old version so I can hear the other party, otherwise there was no sound whatsoever.

(maybe I'll just install it and see for myself...)

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

UPDATE: Latest version still doesn't work properly on the Note 8.0 - no sound at all!

Absolute PANTS. Keep up the good work MS!!!
