Ok, let's finally get this right...
I am looking for a plain battery meter for WM5.0 AKU2.0. I DO NOT want a today plugin. I want something that goes right next to the clock and looks like the one on windows mobile smartphone. We'll also need to eliminate the CRAPPY meter from AKU2.0. The battery meter on the Treo 700w is also quite good...has anyone managed to rip this piece of software? PLEASE SOMEONE let's finally get the normal battery meter that should have been in PPC all along!
Thanks in advance to anyone working on this!
Best,
MJB
Hi,
I personally prefer the Batti program by David Andrš.
Great piece of software and highly customizable.

Check it out. It might not be what your looking for, but it sure is worth a try.
Cheers,
Shah
This does not work AT ALL on my Sprint PPC-6700. I install it, configure it, and nothing shows up at all even when I select "Always on top." Any other options??

snappy snappy...
i use magic button. can be found here: www.trancreative.com
i like the fact that it take up zero otherwise useful space. simply a white, double-pixel line at the top of the screen, length indicating charge. it doesn't get any better than that. plus, i find it a really nifty task manager. good luck
whats wrong with the one thats next to the clock ? it works great on mine!
battery_OU_081304.sa from the WM5 extrom.
I like the one that sits above the top bar when you install SPB PocketPlus. It has a good resolution to it (ie lots of divisions).
Ok, please let me refocus this topic...we are looking for a battery meter replacement that LOOKS STOCK...these other solutions are abundant, but NOT the goal of this post. Please take a look at GreenSoftware's GS Battery Meter. It looks completely stock, but comes up as a notification. Does anyone know how to replace the AKU2.0 battery meter with this solution? That would be ideal...
Thanks again to all posters.

I have the green battery meter that is on the T-Mobile AKU2 rom, and it does exactly what you are requesting.
Can you post a screenshot of the one you have to see if it's the same?
I DON'T really GET what you are saying, but PLEASE stop using all the caps to emphasise your point, because I think people will assume you're impatient, moody, and not worth the time to help
The one I have is a simple 4 bar affair, and when you tap it, you get the battery screen with large bar, and a percentage.
Either the notification popup, or full page one require you to OK it, so I don't see the advantage of one over the other, and both read the level from the same place, so accuracy isn't an issue either.

if you want a battery meter that looks stock, just use the WM5 standard battery meter.

I think the problem is the AKU2 battery meter. It only shows 2 levels of charge, full or half full. It's pretty useless and a step back from the original WM5 batter meter. I don't know why a battery meter must "look stock" though. I'm using the battery status plugin from the prophet forum which is great - and OCs my PPC as well. 8)
Sorry about caps earlier... Yes, my issue is that I would use the WM5 AKU2.0 battery meter if it was useful, but it sucks. I'm just looking for something that looks like it belongs there and actually works. I'm curious about the green battery meter that is on the T-Mobile AKU2 rom. Is there a way to make it white? Anyone got a screen shot? Thanks a lot everyone!

I don't know if its the same Green Battery that AlanJC was talking about. But I have one on my O2 XDA, its part of the O2 Active thing. [see blow]
I'd love to keep the battery icon and dump the rest of the O2 Active stuff, [as the phone is mainly used with Orange]
But I wouldn't know where to start.
I have the .CAB file if someone would like to try and edit it.
may i have your cab please?
and it works on Tytn?
Hi bubu
It was part of the ExtRom on my XDA Exec, so I don't know if it will work on the Tytn. But I don't see why it wouldn't, as its a Today Plugin.
The CAB file installs alot of other O2 stuff which isn't much use if your not on O2, If you can edit it down to just the Battery let me know.
Edit
The CAB file won't upload, I keep getting an Upload Error.
PM me an e-mail address and i'll post it to you.
The battery application in that o2 build is not a plugin is a standalone exe. Just save it somewhere and save the images. Write down the folders and you can delete anything else.
In the final build it was removed as MSFT pushed its own solution.
Cheers,
Raul
Hi Rain,
The file i've got is a 6mb .CAB. I extracted it to the desktop, but didn't find any images, EXE or Folders inside.
Is there a special program needed to save it and get at the files ?
I believe rain means for you to copy the exe file directly off of your device and to then copy the corresponding images files (also from your device) assuming we put them in the right places on our devices, it's like the battery app will work for us. thanks for all your efforts!

Hi mbial,
I think i'll have to leave it to an expert then.
I've spent two weeks trying to find the Orange today plugin files without any luck.
mbial got my point
You can install it once and delete everything else you don't need.
You will not be able to delete battery app after restart because its running and images i think you can figure them out. All files are to be found under windows\Mobile Solutions\O2ActiveUI folder. If you're unsure what image to leave than do not delete the "images" subfolder.
The reason for telling you that you need to keep this files on your local PC is that in the last RUU the battery app is replaced by MSFT's two-states battery app.
Cheers,
Raul
If i have some time this days i'll rebuild the sources and post a tiny cab here for download
Stay tuned.
Hey,
I bought a Touch Pro some days ago and sometimes have an annoying problem:
When pressing the "X" button of an app or pressing the phone's home button, all apps doesn't get minimized but they get closed. Then I have to restart the phone to get rid of the behaviour.
At the moment I can't reproduce this issue.
Does somebody experienced the same? Do you have any ideas to solve this?
Thanks,
Raphaelo08
As from my knwledge there are a lot of programs who catch in their code the x button and are closing themselves (they use some tricks because the WM developers never intended to have one program closed, they wanted to remain in the memory so the next time you start it it will start much faster...etc).I have seen this affirmation on some forum from a guy who had a link to the msdn forums, but it was long ago.
Had the same issue.

This explains the fix, has worked a treat for me.
Hey guys,
thanks for your responses.
I applied the fix and will post some feedback in the next days.
Thanks!

Hello again,
just little feedback:
The problem has almost gone away but it's not fully gone.
E.g. using Beejive messenger and mort player at the same time can cause the issue when you're trying to surf through the system.

Same with me... especially full screen aps like tom tom but also opera/google maps tend to kill all apps.... This is not the case with the diamond. I have a friend who has one and he has a lot of apps running in the background...

Right now, when I open many apps and return to the home screen. All apps in the back get terminated... I cannot just check a location on opera and return to Google Maps... no I have to start the application (google maps) all over again. That also happens with small apps in the background.
This is seriously driving me mad
I need a solution
Hey,
for Opera there is also a fix available. Follow the link z3r0l0g1c posted.

Well, it is not only opera related... it happens with every app after some time - and than constantly. A soft reset temporarily solves the problem... I need a permanent solution
Registry Path: HKCU\Software\HTC\Task Manager
Suspect 1: EnableAutoKill=1 (try changing it to 0?)
Suspect 2: MemoryThreshold
This might help.
Suspect 2 must be changed to a size of about 20MB and or Suspect 1 must be turned to 0 (in order to disable it)
Hey,
thanks for the hint.
Will edit that asap.

What will you edit XD? Something on your device or add it to a list of tweaks
Since I'm not using a Raphael, I do not know whether it apply to you but it apply to me. I am using O2 Atom Life.
Certain application, when started requested too much memory which causes WM to start closing other running applications. After this happens, it seems like WM keeps going on with this behaviour until a soft reset. In another word, WM keeps closing running applications running in background.
The following are the software which causes the behaviour:
Opera 9.5
SKTools FreeUP RAM (with all options applied)
Free Mem (by Oxios?)
So, the only way to identify the culprit, soft reset. Then try running any applications. Each time, check whether other applications are closed. If after running a certain applications and other background applications are closed, then that application is the culprit. Remember, after the effect is applied, it doesn't matter if that application is still running or not, WM will start closing background applications.
Hey,
most time my RAM usage isn't higher than 50% so WM shouldn't be that fussy. But I will keep that in mind.
@Jorlin:
I edited it on my device. Shall I add it to the list of tweaks?
Raphaelo08
ok so i reliazed that everytime im running my sms everything else i try to run slow way way way down
all my stuff freezes too making it dificult to anweser calls
ALSO
the battery indicator seems not acurate
one time its says im 50% then i soft set it while charging only for 2 minutes and it says im 90%
any help please?
Many things happend to it...
but you must start to write what do you got:
We all know that its a wizard but...
What about the Memory? please go to memory and tell us what you can see...
WHat about the apps installed? so much... or too much photos in main memory or too much sms...
What about the OS? stock WM5? custom 5, 6, 6.1, 6.5?????
What about that ROM!!!? didi you ask to the developer?
I think is your OS... OH! BTW is overclocked? check it with TCPMP if it says more than 205MHZ its overclocked and its about to crack the processor down so disable the overclock to your "TI OMAP 850"...
What else the batt problem its caused by the OS sometimes but the not accurated info may be the batt is damaged... but we need more info.

which one performs the best, im currently running the leaked ROM but i wanted to try out the newest 5.11.502 ROM, but i heard some people dont like it at all even with the Ringtone limit, and is the radio better than the one on the leaked ROM? plz help me out here, i dont wanna start over and configuring everything again. thnx
the ringtone limit is changeable. try browsing around on this forum, I believe I left the specific location of the key change.
apart from that, my experience witht he official rom is that my gps is lighting fast, and my battery life is freaking amazing. I am having issues with the sms and mms not being marked as read when I reply to someone.. i have to manually click through them.. that's my main concern. that and it's somehow incompatible with my most favorite theme... showaco's bbextreme 4.0

And I posted a fix for that in the ROM thread. There's also the cab in there for the no Ringtone Limit. I'll see if I can gather them into this post.
EDIT:
DKNoRingtoneLimit.cab
T-Back SMS Unread Fix.cab
in terms of the no ringtone limit, i figured i just have to go in and do the adjusting myself rather than have a cab since i probably wont uninstall it at all....
also the unread cab.. what did you do exactley? was it a htmlnote.dll change?
mputtr said:

That's exactly what I did. I took the htmlnote.dll from the original stock AT&T ROM, and cabbed it up.
Also, as far as the ringtone thing, all you have to do is delete the reg key, and then, no limit
haha, fair enough, I never thought of deleting the actual key....
I'm going to have to back up my stuff this time... before i do the htmlnote change... I had to hard reset last time QQ
hey, i am new to these kind of fixes could you be a little more specific about how to use these things?
Hi all
I am having problems when updating weather, it simply does not update, it conects to internet but on screen it´s stucked "conecting to accuweather"
even if I soft reset or deactivate and reactivate titanium weather stills the same.
City code it´s ok and this problem just started today, before it was upgrading perfect.
I haven´t installed or uninstalled or changed any config on my Uni
Anyone have a clue of what can be the cause of my problem?
Thanks in advance,
Doesn't work for me either.
Strange because I can´t find any logic reason, sometimes it works great, even with auto update, and sometimes it´s just stock at conecting accuweather...
Hope someone can give us a clue here!
was having porblems with today stuff, made a HR and I'm going to try again- I'll keep you posted.
Cheers
Thanks ultravox

My city code is perfectly but no logic behaivour as I said...
Hope dies at last!
I just might give up on Titanium weather and use SPB Mobile Shell 3.0, it's a real pleasure to run and weather on it works like a dream, but a bit of a memory hog, so once I get 128Mb upgrade, there will be no stopping me. Hehe.
Paisa search a lil more...
you will see that some older versions of weather dont has the patch...
Thats because accuweather has change the server... so try to find that patch as is... there are plenty or newer weather titaniums by showaco... try reinstalling it... or apply the patch if you have a duplicated plugin disable the old with a titanium customizer.
Hope works for you all.

Gracias,
Sorry guys, mine is working fine. Has been since installed Tomals 6.5. I don't understand the problem. There must be something you've installed prior that conflicts after a time.
roloracer send me his working mortscript, I´m doing some tests and report back, he consider that maybe with that can be solved the problem.
After some trial and error, I just found out that after installing titanium weather it should be updated(the mortscript).
Now it's working fine. no errors here.
Update
Well I figure out that where I live signal is sometimes very low, or even 0 signal, so if automatic updater starts when there is no signal it gets stucked at "conecting accuweather"
As I´m now traveling to an area where signal is very good no problem has presented to this moment.
That is only a suposition and not sure about it, but till now updater is working well
I´ll keep you posted

Hm, i guess it is also problem with me. I was traveled today in city and there was no problem with stucking on connecting accuweather.
So perhaps there is a problem when titanium weather can not find signal to update, some kind of error.
I tried to deactivate the automatic update but I can´t, every time I unselect the box, save and exit, if I enter again it´s activated again...
Hope anyone can advice!
