One question/request:

- Its possible to have battery status a "tray only" app? What i mean is, not having it has a today entry, just a "minimized" batterystatus icon (with the current battery level) and all the configured tray icons.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] yonef:
Please tell me where I have to put this key?

- added: [DWORD BatterySkipCache = 1] to retrieve the latest values always

??

my bat.consumption is not refreshing :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ralpheboyo:
sweet

that would be real sweet:eek:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Call BS context menu (usually just tap'n hold BS battery icon) and click minimize ;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Can't wait hehe :p
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] joesa:
You can use the export-function in "Advanced"-Tab of options to do this.

It backups any settings including the counter.

CallLogs.xml should be backup with ActiveSync because they are located under "My Documents"...

If you're using the small-version 0.4. then there is a workaround.

Just install the advanced version 1.04 and export the settings. Afterwards install the small version again...

Do the same for importing...

Thanks a lot for your response, i allready did that and it didn't work

any options?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
here you go ;)

Please look into the manual. I don't know it by heart, but i've mentioned it in the manual so often that you definately will find it ;)

hm.. strange.. so i can't help. Anyone else having problems with import/export of settings?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ralpheboyo:
tray icons

was aware of this function but would like more info ram storage space etc....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
yahooo :D

the data counter doesn't work at all for me since a few builds, and if I remember well the restore didn't restored it neither. Indeed it needs another test, & I'll let you know. cheers :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. download build 0244 again. If you've not actively selected a gprs-connection, then no one will be save for monitoring even if they appear selected in the options.

Changed and reupped build 0244.

For import you should ensure, that there is no active gprs-connection when you import, because the settings are locked by the active connection for at least 4 seconds after disconnect.

Hope it helps.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] CWKJ:
@ikarus

Have you make the built for me to test out the problem I have?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RedUser:
Hi ikarus

But AM/PM remained for a 24-hour mode. They should not be.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Hi Ikarus,

The data counter is working again (I tried to deselect then reselect the connexion before but no way), I'll test the restore function later..
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Don't worry. I haven't forgot it :) I'm just too busy, but could you try the DisplayOff-Function with build 0244? Does it work?

ups. it's enabled for testing. I will change this in next build.

There are also a lot of exception-handler (try/catch) in this build and as soon as the version seems stable, i will remove the exception-handler which reduces the dlls for some kB..

So, tell me if this version seems stable or not..

great hehe

i will think about overriding the lock for importing. Maybe the system can be kept consistent though.

I will supply a "howto customize the clock" later on...

It would be very informative if anyone using build 0244 could give some feedback about the cpu-utilization.

Do you notice a reduced cpu-utilization with this build?

In the tests the cpu-utilization hovers around 0-2% with only BS loaded and any options set active.

Edit: updated release notes. have forgotten something

- added: for TaskList - Terminates hanging processes when using [x] (or dpad-right) in TaskList

I added the key "- added: [DWORD BatterySkipCache = 1] " to the proper place in my reg, and installed the 244 ver. but still my battery drain is not updating :(((((((((((

any suggestions ?

Just tried for the first time, looks promising, but when I Soft Reset Apache 6700 freezes at boot screen. Only way was to SR in safe mode and delete. Any ideas.

Just about to reinstall and retry.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RedUser:
The example of a skin for 244 can be looked here. (It is made for the SPB Diary. Russian)

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Updated Howto set up a digit-clock:

To customize a digit-clock you must have

four Item-tags with clock_digit

one Item-tag with clock_seperator

one Item-tag with clock_alarm

one Item-tag with clock_apm

There must be png-files for any digits, seperator, alarm and am/pm under theme-folder with following filename:

empty.png, 0.png, 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, 4.png, 5.png, 6.png, 7.png, 8.png, 9.png, alarmon.png, alarmoff.png, am.png, pm.png, seperator.png

You could use Paint.NET for creating the images.

see sample for digit-clock.

hm.. i'm sorry. Are there touch-users having a better update-behaviour?

oh, that's bad. After 6 freezes, BatteryStatus should disable itself.

Could you export your settings (in options of BatteryStatus) and send them to me or attach here?

great :)

I will update the website as soon as possible. Thanks for your help!

btw. the digits were initialy made by Nostramo.

there are some less available, but i guess there will be more with png-support soon..

There are some users, i'm helping in customization with xml. Don't know if they want to share it.. i hope hehe
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] iggy:
Thanks Ikarus for the quick response, did some more testing after reinstalling.

Activated 1 tab at a time then SR and PPC is no longer freezing on SR.

Issue: EDIT: Just checked the manual and noticed I place a 0 in RoundUp value which disables this function. Only problem is I just minimized via the menu and could not find a way to restore the plugin so I SR not it is frozen at the Splash Screen again.

1. how do I get the data to work - it's check and info filled out but sometimes their is just dashes on the screen and other times the row is missing

2. is it possible to get the calls/sms/data to retrieve past information (i.e. I set my start date for the 12th so if I made 10 calls on the 12th is should display it.

Questions:

1. Indicators - is is possible to show storage & ext. rom as well (oops - just found you have to click to see storage)

2. is it possible to have battery and indicators on 1 line
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
you could delete the file \Windows\BatteryStatus\skincache

then enter the options and select the themefile "default.xml" in advanced-tab of options (even if it's already selected). This will rebuild the cache for themefile.

There is a cachefile included and maybe this cachefile makes the trouble.

Does it solve the problem?

Could you attach a screenshot?

i don't understand..

yes, you have to modify the theme.xml. You can place any items where you want. Have a look into the customization-manual.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] banan4ik:
I fix my theme.cab, and remove problem with installation.:cool:

download in my previous post.:p
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Hello banan4ik,

glad to see you're working on themes ;) It looks great!

I've already send you a pm because there's something to consider when making themes public.

Please respect others work and their intellectual property. Ask the authors for permission to use their images. If you've created all the images by yourself, then it's perfect, but the used images seem to come from htc-homeplug.

I don't know if it's allowed to reuse the htc-digits/images. Maybe you know it?

So maybe it's better remove the attached cab and rather share it with rapidshare and have only a screenshot attached.

Don't get me wrong, but i think nobody wants to get into troubles with htc.

Regards,

ikarus
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] iggy:
Sorry Ikarus, but no luck, tried other themes but all the same when I Soft Reset it freezes at the boot screen.

Had to finally uninstall.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
Hello, all.

Here is, at last, my finished theme for the new version of BS.

It includes the usual features, trying using the minimum rows for them, and includes some registry-trackers too (missed calls, sms, mms and mail). Tapping on each icon goes to the correspondant application (call history, inbox sms, inbox mms, inbox mail).

Also system icons go to system control features (running programs, storage...)

So try and experience it.

A couple of screenshots of the theme:

Special thanks to Ikarus for the new funcionalities of BS and, over all, for implementing the support for several graphic formats, making easier the (hard) skinning process.

Hope you like and enjoy it.

Regards.

Nostramo

P.S.: Ikarus, move it to the Project Site when you wish :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RedUser:
Should mention, that a pictures of digits for clock has made by Nostramo. I have learned about it recently.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RedUser:
Hi Nostramo

Very beautiful a skin. But I want to inform, what unfortunately not on all devices parameters in the registry are identical for MMS and EMAIL. I have already collided it, when made indicator MMS on the my skin. For example at me on the Wizard so (was send 1 MMS):

Best regards.

task manager

"task manager" function is very usefully, but when you want to navigate through it with hardware buttons - how you can close application instead of selecting (activating)?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] moo0417:
One of the best add-on.

Thanks!!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] gidano:
Thanks a lot:)

i think your device Glofiish X500 has Samsung SC32442 processor build in. The overclocking features of BatteryStatus only affect the hardware registers of texas instruments's omap850 processor.

But its a good idea to show the cpu-speed of any cpu...

Wait for the next release ... :confused:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] gidano:
This is a great convenience, wonderful... :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] gidano:
----

This is a great convenience... wonderful...:eek:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
Oh, I see...

Unfortunately, it's impossible to make the registry-tracker to work with any existing registry configuration.

I suppose it must work with most configurations. Users with special needs (in cases like your) must modify the registry route into the xml file to adjust it to their real route.

Regards.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] testuser0072:
Hi Ikarus,

Long time ago your plugin had problem with freeze after soft-reset on some devices. I still use my old BlueAngel, but now with WM6 and old problem back with build 245 (not shure 244). Build 243 is OK, so something wrong is in later builds. Please check it.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Zita:
2 Nostramo great skin. I like it. But can you do the skin for HTC Touch in black or green colors. Thanks.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
I suppose you are talking about the numbers.

You can use any set of numbers you prefer, in any color. Saying "Black or Green" is like not saying nothing at all, because the color spectrum is so wide and there are million kind of green, for example.

Nevertheless, if you show me a capture with the color you like, I'll try to change the numbers. Notice I have so few free time and this is not a priority.

A suggestion: try to make it yourself. It's no so difficult as it appears.

Regards.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] utak3r:

Now, if it could replace rlToday... the only thing I'm aware of now, is that you set up your whole skin, and then change a single thing in options... and... kaboom ;) all the skin you can throw out of the window :(

Could you make some flag (checkbox or something) telling it that it can't move items? That the position written in xml is the most important? :D Please?

Hello!

It's gonna be my first post here)))

Frankly, couldnt read more than first 30 pages, so if i will duplicate somebody's thoughts, please, don't mind it)

First of all, BIG thanx for this neat piece of software. It's absolutely great!

I had a Qtek s100 before with, as you all know, Intel PXA270 400MHz cpu in it and I was quite happy with its performance. Unfortunately, it has become some sorta unusable and now i got a new machine from O2 which is Orbit. Not bad, but OMAP850 is no match to Intel PXA in terms of performance, especially when multitasking. Using your program I have overclocked it to 260MHz atm and it seems to be fine. And i dont have to set it all over again after each standby))) Plus all the additional features of the prog make life much easier (task manager in particular). Basically, your program combines all the actually needed features! It's great... just great

THANK YOU

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] McHale:
sorry if this has already been asked (I skipped ahead to page 10)...

Instead of showing the cell provider, can we have an option to show the Wireless Access Point we are conntec to instead (selectable via settings - either or).

With Cingular, it will always show Cingular no matter who I'm roaming on. So for us, it's almost useless. But I would love to see which AP i'm connected to.

Just a thought. Love this plugin...

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] con_bo:
With the last pre7, SMS counter and battery-drain show in the same place in my O2 Neo, so it overlap each other.I can't see the information of it. And i have big problem : I use SpbTime in my device. If I set run Screen Saver of it, when i turn on the screen,the Omap not active so the CPU speed not change.I set the CPU clock to 273 Mhz but it shows 195Mhz. :?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] GerooTech:
yes this is what i mean exactly
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
Here it is.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
oh okay, i c.

there are two obvious solutions. Either we make the font size of second row fixed or we completely left align the second row if a higher fontsize can be detected. The latter does not look smooth enough to me and that's why i moved it a bit to theright.

Furthermore the space at the left-most of second row can be used for further extensions (maybe open a third row or something similar)

You have also a solution you can do by yourself (maybe as a temporary workaround): Translate Calltimes to one whitespace...

I must think about the best solution (after i finished daily work hehe), but you can make a proposal.

Thanks a lot for reporting this ;)

The first problem could be the same as matterhorn has. I don't know SpbTime but we can look for the reason. Is this behaviour the same with other methods like OmapClockplus or smartkey etc. ? Did you tried using other methods?

Anyone experienced the same and maybe can help to figure out the reason?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Hello McHale, of course that make sense. This is subject of minor releases after 0.02.500.

--> pre8 is available, now aware of fontsize
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
Hi Ikarus, thanks for the quick fix :) The second line looks much better, I suppose that type of info doesn't need to be as big and readable as the top line. I like the + on the battery drain/charge value, nice touch. It all looks good to me. Thanks again.

Matt
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] con_bo:
Thanks ikarus for qick fix. The second line display smooth in my device, but the first line not change.When i choose option bold text, the CPU clock display not good, i set 270 Mhz but it displays 70,I think it is the same error happened in the second line. With the SMS counter, It always show 0.In my device, I can save message sent in "Sent Items". Maybe it's the reason for this error ???
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
On my Jamin, the SMS counter didn't register any on the counter until I sent some new ones after the battery program installation. I think on the first line bold view, it probably depends on how big your system font is on your device. People that have a small system font probably have no problems. I always use the largest system font possible so that I can see what is going on at a glance even in bad viewing conditions so I have the same issue with the bold...anyway I don't need bold since I use the largest system font.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
yes this is true. i will try fixing it later on.

I will give a detailed description as soon as time allows.

Sms-count works as follows. After you activated sms-count in BatteryStatus, it will count any sent-sms from this time on. It does not take care of sms-sent before this time. This works for me.

This follows the principle that you only pay (that is the cpu is charged) for what you are actually using.

Furthermore this is the most efficient way. I very rarely delete sms in the sent-folder so i often have more than 100 sms in there. If BatteryStatus process each of them each time it counts sms, then you could imagine there is a big big performance problem. BatteryStatus get along with this by working as it currently does.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] sebi112:
I have a big problem with the newer relaeses of your plugin. The first release das work pretty good but with the newer alpha ones my prophet is not able to connect to gprs anymore an the phonesiginal gets dropped then reconnects then gets droped an so on.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
I think it's important information, but it's a matter of physical space limitation...

pre9 is available with this fixed.

--> post with pre9

Thanks for reporting :)

I don't use this fontsize, but it's good to know that it works for that.

Hello sebi, please let us look for the cause. This is a reason why i would postpone release-date. Please let us do some investigation.

1. First make sure you have pre9 installed (use BSUpdate)

2. Set cpuspeed to original 195MHz and deactivate (uncheck) BatteryStatus

--> Do you have the same behaviour then?

3. If the device behaves normal, then activate BatteryStatus without overclocking options

--> Do you have the same behaviour then?

4. If the device behaves normal, then activate overclocking options

--> Do you have the same behaviour then?

If you have enough time, then make a second run and remove the battery for some seconds (e.g. 20 sec) and start your device afterwards. After that you can be sure of radio-layer did also reset.

Do the same steps from step 2 on.

Thanks in advance !

greets,

ikarus

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
Hello ikarus

I have been using your 0.02.403 version but have just tried the new pre9 build 0029.

I have not read every post, but I gather that you are supposed to short tap the battery bar to show or hide the second line. I have selected the option but on tapping they do not hide, am I doing it wrong?

Also what is the final option in the attached picture, I can not make it out.

Thanks
