Battery % in 20's

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but I seem to get battery % updates in increments of 20, rather than 10, in the top bar. (100, 80, 60, 40).

 

The droid system only updates the battery at

100 80 60 40 20 10 0

 

On Froyo? Would be interested to see how that was accomplished with no source ... I had 10% in Eclair/2.1, but AFIK impossible in Froyo ...

 

No, just on 2.1

 

The Battery Indicator app that I use seems to have no problem with 10% increments on Froyo. It also goes to 5% increments when under 20%.

 

The battery guage widget updates in 10% increments running every version of froyo I've tried

As Chevyno1 mentioned there is no source yet for Froyo so you can not get 10% increments in the notification bar.

As for battery apps or widget they read things differently which is why they can get the 10% increments. So until source is out I highly doubt you'll see the icon for battery use display in 10% increments.

 

But there are png files in framework-res.apk for 5%, 15%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 90%. The only reason I know that is I was going to change my status bar battery icon and saw them. Of course, I can't remember now, (story of my life lately), but maybe I had already applied the Blue Energy theme and they came from there.

 

In the bone-stock framework I have, they are not there - keep in mind anyone can PLACE them in there - but if the code doesn't reference them, it's just wasted space.

 

It was probably the Blue Energy theme that added them then. I know he has a version of that theme for Cyanogen and probably just left them in there for the BB version, which works well on SS 4.1.

 

I believe JRummy's Kangerade V1.1 (FRF57 Base) includes this ability. Maybe you should contact him and see how he did it.

 

Kamgerade has 10% increments. Also, juice plotter calcs 10% on your latest Chevy, so the limitation is prob in the batt monitor widget not an os limitation.

Battery Status pro can do this, anyway to build off that?
