Ok coming down the pipe is a better way to do BME, using this method you can charge without worrying about shorted USB data leads, this is both for internal soldered chargers and Qi port-plug/protector chargers like the cheap Qi add on ones we are working with.

1-install(or have) up to date Kernel Power and CSSU testing
2-add repo
web address - http://maemo.merlin1991.at/cssu/bme-replacement/
distribution - fremantle
Components - free
3-apt-get update and upgrade(this will install the new upgraded BME)
4.run this command in command line
Code:
gconftool-2 -s -t int /apps/osso/status-area-applet-battery/use_design_capacity 0
Above saves lot of frustration with getting completely BS values posing as correct, when battery gauge is not calibrated (at all 0 like, lost calibration data due to battery out of device for too long and dead bupbat).

5. Reboot
6. charge to green light
7. let run until battery dies(battery is now calibrated)
8-enter command to BME for unshorted charging(coming soon)

thanks to Pali and Estel
