Pybattery - battery statusbar applet with candies - maemo.org

412b · #1 2008-11-11, 20:04

Once upon a time I got tired of the standard battery applet and decided to make my own one. So here is the result.
1. I DO think that it would be better to be written in C, but...
2. I tested it only on n810 (2008, Diablo, 36-5/43-7) and N900 (10.2010.19-1), so testing feedback is highly appreciated.
3. Known issues:
- Right after full battery charge it's not 100%, because battery capacity is less than designed value.
- CPU governor isn't saved in gconf, so after reboot it's gonna be "ondemand" again.

P.S. Hope you enjoy using it

Since AP and APM are in Extras, no need for download links, I guess.
Garage: Advanced Power Monitor 0.4.1, Advanced Power 0.3.6, themes: Hildon, LCARS, Okuda

Fremantle version can be found in extras-devel repo at the moment.

Remember to reboot your device if status-menu is messed up

Localization templates attached only for Fremantle.

P.P.S. If you can make translation to your language for this app, feel free to PM me.

How about making this the Advanced Power applet?

I like where this is heading, though. I can help with icons and UI Mockups if you're interested.

Hmmm... AdvancedPower... ))) I'll think about it

I'm interested, 'cause I'm using it

So you are welcomed.
I'm thinking of theme support and settings for hiding/showing info.

Woah, this is some seriously nice ****

How about putting this in the postinst:
sed -i 's/^Mandatory/#Mandatory/' /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/hildon-status-bar-battery.desktop

at least #6 is done automatically then

Well, I like it because it creates a set of replacement statusbar applets that are open source, faster, better, more useful than the Nokia applets. Advanced Backlight, Advanced Power, Advanced Connectivity, etc.

Each applet will benefit from the shared branding with the others, people will instantly know what it is when you slap "Advanced" on the front of the name. The end result is better for everybody involved.

Reattach, please. I'm not planning on uninstalling it.

When the charger is inserted, is it possible to play the /usr/share/sounds/ui-charging_started.wav sound?

Fixed and uploaded.

I guess, yes

I just don't like that sound on charger connect.

CPU Freq Definitions:
conservative =
ondemand = same as liqbase?
null =
powersave = same as liqbase?
performance = same as liqbase?
