1% battery increments - XPERIA X1 ROM Development

I searched the xperia forum and I am not able to find information about this issue.
I would like to help making a new battery.dll.
I am trying to contact CRCinAU who did this successfuly for trinity so he can spread some light.
Has any of you already tried battery.dll from blackstone on his xperia?
Or has anyone made any steps towards a working solution?
Thanks

From what I've read, the X1 battery controller supports no other than 10% increments. If the hardware is not able to tell the software what the % is, nothing can help you.

yes but that's what everyone believed for the tytn, trinity and I think hermes as well! Could you show me where you read this?

You are correct, Also back in the days. TyTN II only -10% and now every rom has -1%.

well it seems no one is interested.
CRCinAU has not replied to my message either.
The solution is probably identical to the other devices that had this issue so it's just a matter to get some hints (where to look inside battery.dll).

I can hardly believe it, but if you do make a find, don't hesitate to post it.

here the same if you can find an solution then i also would welcome when you post it here

I tested one of thse power drivers (its a dll in the end) and didnt work... It would have to be adapted for the xperia

...and it has to be cooked-in as far as I remember form the TyTn roms.

to cook it inside isnt an problem at all, but to get an working dll or whatever is needed is the problem

I can send you the power driver "as is"
PM me

yes do so, then i will make some tests with it and cook some roms, i think if we really find an solution then all cookers will use it.

Well yeah, if you'd be able to get this working, it'd be a huge breakthrough.
Alas I don't have time to take this on as yet another project.

the question is, is it really only an driver limitation, or is it really an hardware limitation, maybe i should look into the Hermes Threads a little bit?
also it would be interessting if we could find an other WM Phone with same hardware and maybe this dll should work then hehee

The most similar device is the touch HD, which has a different battery controller (1% increments already work there).
I think looking into the hermes threads will teach you a lot. Where to look, for instance?

Here it is guys:
User "nue" has a very ineteresting collection of very useful apps
He has managed to modify the power driver to allow 1% increments for Vogue and TyTn, but I also read working reports in a Diamond thread: They combined sdkcert + tsownes battery icons (has the full 0->100% icons) + nuePower driver and succeeded
Here's the link to nue's download site:
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nuePower.aspx
PS: take a look at battery.dll

I was searching for the same thing, 1% increments, and came across someone on XDA froums who had changed the icons for battery, signal etc and also included 1% increments for battery. I installed them a couple of days ago and they worked fine. The only reason I removed it was because I was I need the time and battery up there and couldn't find a solution other than SBP which replaces adds an extra battery while windows replaces the original battery with the time.

which one did you use??????

The cab is called FInixNOverBattery
I have just reinstalled it, and it's showing 70% battery. To be honest, on further investigation, I'm not sure if it is actually showing 1% increments on the X1. I'll leave it running a while to see, but I have a feeling it's just showing 10% increments.
Sorry guys, this could be a false alarm.

oh no this doesnt change the battery.dll it is only an battery icon skin in 10% steps, ok have to search more and play around with the touch-hd battery.dll.

TF3D Display issue

Hi all,
This morning my phone was still doing fine, alarm went off, display was normal. When I unplugged it from the charger to go to work, the display turned into the attached screenshot. Funny thing is it wasn't hanging, the numbers on the clock was still flipping over
Has anyone seen this before, but more importantly, is there a fix for it?
Thanks
I had that. Only thing is to re-insert the battery.

I did a soft reset, which fixed it. Just a bit concerned as yesterday early morning, while charging, the phone hanged.
Maybe time for a new ROM
Thats if its a software issue and not a hardware issue. I've posted on this problem I have and its similar to yours.
Its related to the 3d driver from htc. either its the poorly written api or the poor 3d chip is the culprit.
Disable TF3d and you will not see this happening again. But then, it wouldnt be a diamond without Manila, would it?
Might be a good opportunity to "upgrade" your ROM....
alright after almost 1 week of testing, I can finally conclude that this problem has disappeared.
I've tried changing to v1.93 Olinex and tested the roms from SwiftBL, Panosha, Vic etc. None was able to resolve the problem until I tried Dutty's v2.6. The problem no long appears and has been rock stable, be it overnight or normal usage.
A closer look revealed that Dutty's rom has a newer version of Manila, while Swift and Vic (not sure about Panosha)'s romes had an older version.
Give it a try guys and see if it works for you.

Problems with Battery

Hey.
I just got my new (used 6 months) Diamond, after my Trinity has crashed. But what i observed is that the battery life is extremely low. Is there any possibility to make it last longer. I have seen somwhere on a forum that the combination of SPL, Rom, and Radio might help, but i lost somewhere this thread, cannot find it anymore....
So please can you help me to solve that issue? The Trinity could go much longer when i was using GPS. I was thinking that Diamond should be better.
Plese help.
could you please help?
i ve seen response to threads like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539418
so do not ignore me please.
thanx for help anyway.

Holy #@$*'ing @$*t ! Sorry your highness for making you wait all of one day to respond to a question that has been discussed ad nauseam throughout the entire internet.
Google is a good friend. Try typing in "Diamond battery life" into Google search and you'd be absolutely amazed as to what happens when you subsequently click on the search button! Let me show you: http://www.google.com/search?q=diam...-ca&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1
In a nut shell;
1. Diamond battery is very small @ 900mAh. Buy a bigger battery if you want
2. Don't leave bluetooth, wifi, and 3G on when you don't need it. All of them draw a lot of power
3. Turn off auto backlight adjustement and set it to a brightness that is comfortable for you to read.

Newer ROMs gives me trouble!

I just want to share my experience and also see if there are others who feel the same. My problem concerns the latest new ROMs, which i installed. For example energyRom, TouchIT Leo III, etc. The installation goes well and then I do all my settings and adjustments. A moment later, the phone dies, usually never wakes up from standby when i press the topButton. This phenomenon may or may not take a long time and will occur at any time.
My idea as it had with my settings to make, eg, regional settings, email configuration or maybe some file(s) on the memory card, because I know that these ROMs works on other phones and i can not read or find about other users having the same problem.
My settings and everyRom installation are:
Operator: Telia
Language: English
E-mail: Exchange Server
Smabergs Swe Hardware keyboard (Can this maybe give some trouble, because i think its made for 6.1?)
Someone else who can share experiences so perhaps I can find the problem?
For troubleshooting i have reflashed the ROM and not doing any settings at all.....and the phone still working.
I get this occasionally. But I've always had these hangs regardless of new or old ROMs.
Basically phone won't respond to any input, the screen stays off but if you open the keyboard it lights up. That's about the only response I can get. I've always shrugged it off and taken out the battery. Hopefully it doesn't happen regularly.
Ive had this kind of "hangs" to, but the ones i talking about happens several times every day, and the keyboard doesnt light up.
Double post. Sorry

This is where UC should help. Most cooks used UC for WM6.1, and other forms of UC for WM6.5. Just make sure you read their thread carefully.
For me, I put all the setting into a cab (after all, most user config will be store in registry anyway.).

When i install a new ROM, i always read the thread for tips and hints, but nobody talking about the problem ive got.
My phone has now been running without any crashes for a couple of hours....maybe i should try to do some settings one after another.
Me too, used the energy rom, really polished rom, but hang several times a day...
too bad it hangs during show off to friends XD

I had a similar problem. It turned out that the flatcable between the screen and hardware keyboard wasn't properly connected. I disassembled and reassembled my phone while keeping a video tutorial from youtube on my screen. It worked then! Here's the links to the video's:

yes, i´ve been wondering if it could be any hardware-problem, but why would it only be on some ROMs and others not. Thats why i feel pretty sure its not hw-related.
Its only on 6.5 roms, not 6.1....ive been running smabergs 6.1 rom for weeks, without problem. And as soon as i installed valkyrie, the phone starts to hang. I also noticed some screen-problems, like a lot of stripes across the screen, that makes the content unreadable. And thats the tf3d-content, the taskbar is ok without any graphic-distortion.
But only on 6.5....

Think i'll play it safe and wait for others to try it first.
i already tryed it on my self its something so good
i cant belive that there is such thing
i dont understand why htc dont use it

I tried it back in the day when was first posted for Excalibur and didn't see any noticeable improvement especially as it's only a simple reg edit regards async..
The best way to save battery is to find the appropriate Radio for ROM, use a ROM that isn't hungry on battery and an extended battery helps

Thank you for the info.
A quick remark about WMLongLife: I had to uninstall it as my Kaiser never reconnected to 3G after some time working properly. It seems a reported bug and will be solved in new releases (at least, I hope so ). I'd say that roaming triggered that condition, but have no concluding evidence.

HTC TyTN II Battery:

HTC TyTN II Battery: I hope not to be OT ..... I played with several ROMs, especially by the great chef AF.
Recently I brought my assitance Kaiser so I reported it to the original Radio ROM. Returning dall'asssitenza I left the original ROM, replacing only the radio 1.71.09.01 with Emo.
To the surprise performance of the original WM6.1 increased. I have doubts about battery life, that with normal use (a few phone calls and various connections) and the battery life of approximately 30 hours. On the duration seems normal.
Ovvimente return to more 'open to some excel ROM 6.5. Have good day
30 hours so a day + on 6.5 chillax it's pretty normal
b.t.w removed your double post
I also have a battery problem, my tytn2 lasts less then a day with normal use (calls, sms, mails, pdf reader, 3g connection). I was adviced by the chef AF to change my radio to 1.65.16.25 and i'm trying it out today: few calls, sms, 20min pdf reader, updated the weather and i took from the charger at 08:00 it's now 15:40 and still have 75% of my battery. If you are saying that radio 1.71.09.01 is even better i will try it out.
Question: How does the radio influences the rom besides sound and camera???
I have been looking for an explanation but still haven't found one. I really would like to know what it is and what it does to my device.

Thanks for the reply. Although it doesn't answer my question. I need my tytn to be reliable and it must last at least a day. I can't be testing every radio that is available risking myself to be without a phone when i need to be connectable at all time. Anyone can give me a feedback about the best (performance/durability) for my tytn. I use the rom from AF (sorry it's the "competition") and i find it very complete and reliable. The only thing that is bugging me is the battery life. I've read that the 1350mah (dynapac) isn't much of a long lasting thing but even though, less then a day???????? I had a touch before this and i sold it because of the battery life.

Well then the answer is to stay on stock with the matched radio as will have had previously, since time is what is needed just like what chefs put into cooking..
Didn't post about it's down to the user just because i like people to take time it's a must as no one will have exact the same credentials as you.
I get about 2-3 days out of my ROM, another thing you could look into is extended battery's
WOW up to 3 days with your rom, normal usage i presume??? A bit like i do???
We are talking about v5 right??? If that's the problem i will flash it and try it out for a few days........ Please advice.... rom and radio???

Read faq #4.....the radio isn't really a " radio " in the sense of the word. It is firmware.
I personally think that the mater the " firmware " version significantly affected battery life is still up for debate. But the proof is in the putting. So try different ones for yourself and let us know.
Thanks for your reply, how is the rom from stylez behaving?? I see you have radio 1.65.24.xxx but you're also in the U.S. I don't have the time to "try" other radios since the tytn2 is my main device and i need to be connectable at all time. Just this week i needed to make some calls and i got a odd response from my boss: or buy a new phone or get lost!!!!!! So i need my tytn2 to "behave " at least from 08:00 untill 22:00.
becosemsaida
Stylez' rom is great, hands down the best 6.1 out there. I use 1.65.xxxxx because that is the one that came with my stock AT$T rom so I have found no need to change it. Stylez is in UK and uses 1.70.19.09 and that works well for him.
If you don't have the time to test, find others from Portugal and see what they are using or look at people's signitures in Stylez' thread and see what other people are using
