Sorry, I've been really busy this week, and I regret to inform everyone that I will be ceasing development on this because I purchased an EVO and am going to be selling my TP2, as much as I wanted to get it working... I just couldn't do it with my time constraints...

Everytime I would try to get something done on it, I would have to start over on what I was working on because I would have to "rebuild" my train of thought... and then finally get a tiny bit closer to getting a small fix implemented.

As to why mine only works on 2.2, I can't explain that, as I said my changes are ONLY in the battery file, such changes should NOT affect the boot process, only the battery readings... See the link below for all the changes I made.

Oh and if need be, I can zip up my entire android development folder including all files as they are right now, (and were at the time of the last compile listed here) and post them somewhere if you like... that way you can do a compare on the entire listing maybe to one of your own that does not work and see where the fault is perhaps? IDK....

We may need that whole file. I did a binary comparison to your modules vs. the same release from auto-build and they're all larger. You've done something different.... Thanks for your work. You'll be missed.

I'll post it as soon as I get a chance, but it will be at least a couple days out, sorry.

Yes thank you for all your work! It's so nice to actually have a somewhat accurate battery meter on Android. Thanks so much for all your work, hope you enjoy your EVO!

I copied over the modules file and the zImage to my andboot folder (Latest 2.1 with LauncherPro), but my battery indicator is still off. It's showing 5% in Android when WinMo displays 38%...

Do I need to delete the other modules file from my andboot folder for this to work? It didn't overwrite the modules file since the names are different.

This is a "workaround," as I understand it, it's not going to give you a correct meter, just better than stuck at 5%.

But... if you read my post... it IS stuck at 5%. Even with the "Fix"

You will have to delete the old Modules file, and your data.img file. If that doesn't do it, You will also have to go into the root of your sd card and delete the /android folder if there is one.
If that conbo doesn't do it, PM me and I will help you out.

At 30-some percent in winmo according to your other post. What about when winmo is at 100%? 75%?

Unknownforce, please PM me ASAP when you can post more. I have my build machine running and I want to try and build a working kernel. Can you also let me know if you changed anything else? What kernel repo did you grab from? ANYTHING you did seemingly different. again, your modules files were MUCH bigger than those downloaded from xdandroid, so something more than the batt file had to have changed.
