is it possible to modify BME somehow or its configuration to make this happen?

well the system i use gets around this, i use my battery meter, i have disabled the normal BME, no battery icon or anything, my battery meter puts the LED in "Error pattern" meaning it blinks red, an audio beep can be added if necessary, the led starts to blink at 5% left, but again this can be customised

Sounds nice - what is this battery meter you are using? how do you enable the charging?

the battery meter is in post #3, an N900 still charges fine with USB, it only uses the LED to indicate now, it fades orange and Green when finished like normally, but no pop up banner saying "charging" and no sound.

But my method of charging is using an external charger.

by "external charger" you mean you do not charge using the microusb port?

if that's the case it won't be good for me since i am using it...

Read up on post #2 and #3 then you can get all the info, but yes i don't use the USB port for charging.

Well, i already made my widget for battery charge status using data from i2cget (see pic).

The only thing is missing is being able to charge through microusb - maybe i should run the "bq27200.sh" script as background process and stop BME? is there a better way you see to do this?

Thanks.

I just went to Ali Express to buy a 1445 Scud, but it seems like its out of stock and not manufactured anymore... But then they recommend the SCUD Blue DREAM (1460mAh) on the same page.

I couldn't find any tests on this one on the first post so it seems like there is a new guy on the block.

Has someone tested that batt?
