My Excalibur has the battery indicator along the top 3 pixels of the screen. Any way to get that on my Kaiser?
I believe the program you are asking about is called Batti 2.1 by David Andrs

Looks like there is a 2.4 out, going to go grab it myself!!!

perfect. ya that was it. Thanks.
hehe, I actually just noticed that SPB Pocket Plus (that I was already using) actually has an even better bar style taskbar battery indicator, so I just uninstalled batti.

I've search hard for a solution, and know its been discussed, is there a way to remove the battery icon in the top right hand corner.
I prefer the smaller version in the bottom left hand corner which I've now added to my startup folder.
umm search bro.. there is a clock application that will cover it up
if you did'nt find it here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084
Fine work levenum :lol:
The app mentioned above and a few others is the only option. It's hard-coded into the OS in AKU 2.0, with no way to change it.
MS said that in AKU 2.2 and beyond a registry key will allow for changing the location.
....or use Wisbar Advanced 2, you get the clock back
Cheers
hrb
you don't get the clock back with Wisbar Advance - it just completely replaces the taskbar. It's like having birdpoop on your blue car, and instead of washing it off, you just paint your entire car red. Voila - birdpoop 'gone'.
Not dissing Wisbar Advance, btw.. it's a great tool, and cheap - but get it for its own merits, not just to get rid of the battery icon / get a clock.
Hello folks,
This is my first post, so please excuse my ineptitude/ignorance. I've been searching all day for a Cab that will show my battery level as a %age in the top bar of my new XDA Stellar. I've seen loads of screen shots on here of various customized today pages, many of which seem to have this snazzy little feature. They've even inspired me to download the HTC home plug-in, task manager and HTC home customizer and I'm now loving the new Non-O2 look of my Stellar. I'm yet to find that battery status indicator thoguh. Would someone please take pity on me and post a link before my head explodes. Thanks in advance.
- VistaHide BatteryGauge - Simple Battery meter, nice colors.
- SBSH iLauncher - Great Launcher, multiple tabs, battery meter on top.
- SPB PocketPlus - Another great Launcher, multiple tabs, battery meter on top.
- Batti - ((Thanks to _Alex_ )FYI, Batti eats batteries.)
- Ariel Battery Meter - Replace your Start Menu picture with a battery meter.
- QuickMenu - Really MUST have. Nice cascading Start Menu, and a nice battery meter.
Enough choice, isn't it?
All above apps are, (or can show) a battery meter on top of the screen.

FYI, Batti eats batteries. You should also check out QuickMenu too.

Thanks for that.
I never used Batti, just provided the link to this well known battery meter.
Added QuickMenu link
I personally like Areilbattery 2.
Wow, that was a quick response. Thank you so much. I'll have a play around with those suggestions.
EDIT: ArielBattery was pretty much exactly what I was after. Thanks again guys.
Battery Meter in taskbar?
My friend has an older WM5 device and he has a battery meter in the lower taskbar. Is there a plug in so I can achieve this and not have the HTCHome Plug in on my Tilt just for the battery meter?
Search for "Batti"
I personally like the Taskbar Battery Indicator on the Spb Pocket Plus 3.2 (look it up). The newer version doesn't seem to have it.
I've tried other sucha s the SBSH Launcher which integrates nicely with WM6 and SBSH Pocket Breeze...
Or you can use the Magic Button which provides a thin battery meter above the upper taskbar (besides other functions).

Yes it does.(I have Pocket Plus 4.0.2). jost press the stylus on any tab => hit options => Task battery indicator options => chouse the size of the indicator.
Vista Hide is Awesome
Just a personal thought. I have usd Vistahide for ome time, and it is very nice, small footprint and shows up nicely, And uses almost no resources on the phone.
Just switching over from the Hermes world.
One recent addition to Hermes ROMs was the battery icon the top bar with granularity to 1%.
ie. take a look at the 1st pic in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2522625&postcount=1
some chefs made theirs with different colors, others were 100% white.
I know the Kaiser does 1% in the battery settings page, just wondering why I didn't see this top bar change getting cooked in to any Kaiser ROMs? Did it come and go already, or just not appeal to Kaiser folks?
Yes, I am well aware of other battery meters... like I said just curious about the cooked in battery icon.. small little perk that I miss from Hermes.
The 1 percent incraments is standard in the Kaiser (meaning nobody had to make an dlls to help make it). There are ways of showing the percent on the right, just have to find the right battery program to do it

If you're handy with reshacker, you can look here for a start.

I created a new battery meter for my Kaiser. It's not too hard. I would post it, but it's uses borrowed images and since I don't use phcanOverbmp, it may not be too helpful for many people.
What is the reg tweak to add the battery indicator on the taskbar? I know the one that replaces the clock with the battery, but I would like both icons to appear.
Thanks.
I know that SPB pocket plus 4 can do this, and there are a bunch of gradiented battery bars.
That said, i'm sure that there is a reg key but I do not know it.

thanks, that's exactly what i was looking for.. before you showed me this program i put the file "powertray.exe" in \windows\startup so i could get the icon on my taskbar; now that i have this battery program i want to delete the file. I'm not allowed to however because it is "still running.."
I assume the only way to delete a file from \windows\startup is to boot in safe mode. is there a key stroke configuration that you can do after a soft-reset? or do you have to install software? if it is the latter, is there freeware that can perform this task.. stable.
thanks.
an alternative is WKtask, also free, which includes the topbar batterygauge and the tabbed task manager, plus many other extras.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335085
not as colorful as the Molski, but WKtask covers 100% of the top bar versus Molski's 90%
EDIT:
Batti 2.4 was just released on 9/13/08. It's the best I've found.
ok ok, I've already tried searching, but obviously not sure what to search because only threads I found were people asking the same thing. Pretty much all the roms with the exception of ROMeOS has a battery meter with color. ROMeOS is white only. Where can I get the version that has color? Thanks.
Here you go.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307
there is also a program called batti that puts a bar along the top of the screen that lowers as the battery does and can be customized its nice
where can i found it???
If your still looking for batti
