Battery Routine

(1/4) > >>

ACagliano:
There is a calc app called CLOCK that installs a hook that displays the time and date on the homescreen (and, if you want other menus, too). Is it possible to do the same with a battery meter? Have one displayed all the time on the homescreen If so, can someone make one, cuz that would be epic.

calc84maniac:
The problem with this is that we can't really read battery level very accurately. It's pretty much battery low/not-low (which the OS tells you on startup anyway)

DJ Omnimaga:
Wasn't there a routine that told you if batteries were getting low shortly before the calc starts telling you on Startup, though? I recall it returning low batt code even if the startup msg didn't display anywhere yet (even on Garbage collections)

ACagliano:
What about the battery indicators that return a 1-4 rating. If i could just have like a number 1-4 always on my screen, i'd be satisfied.

You have the interrupts to go by from and like calc said it's pretty inaccurate.
There seems to be something similar to what Omnimaga was talking about here:

As well as something similar to what ACagliano was looking for here:

However this is for the 83...but with the source included it should be a relatively easy thing to get working on an 83+/84+
I can look at it a little later tonight if you want.
