Battery Meter

Hi guys, I remember awhile back someone posting a reg edit or a .cab file that would show the actual amount of power your battery has right on the home screen instead of the 10% increments. I searched around but I could not find it. I do believe that this feature was taken from a mogul. Am I crazy or did I see this? Thanks.

If you read the readme that is included in the file, you'll find that this has to be added to a ROM replacing the original file. You just can't add it into Windows. It won't work that way.

Installed the cab and ended up with the menu bar suggesting it was plugged to the mains, and no remaining power green bar or numbers.

Uninstalling worked ok.
