Nice tool. Plans to have this for the N9? (errm)

@Jigzy
Probably perfectly doable for everyone, via QueenBeeconWidget. although, as it's reading data via i2cget, it couldn't update itself constantly - something like 1 auto update per minute (+ on touch) should be ok.

@Jordi
I have no idea, as I don't own N9(50), so NFC if something like ic2tool exists there, what type of charging chip it use, how to handle notifications (are there any?) etc, etc.

So, it's definitely a task for someone owning devices in question, already.

I don't think its a good idea... Actually, i would like to know if i could uninstall advanced power monitor and save some juice by stopping one more daemon. Does will bnf works propperly if i do that ? BTW, i just did tried the callibration as per Estel's post but my phone shuttdown @3235 mV w/o EDV1 turn to 1. It's charging now but i'm wondering if the callibration was sucessful.
Thanks for the tool Estel.
Edit: Just check that out and "callibration needed" stills 1. But SoC is pretty closer to the power monitor value than before calibration. Should i try recallibrate it ?

bnf doesn't rely on APM in any way - you can safely uninstall it. Although it's nice piece of code, I must admit, that I've also uninstalled APM few months ago - bnf suits my need for detailed info, and standard battery indicator is OK for a "glance" battery status. In my case, it was rather about saving memory, instead of CPU cycles.

As for shutting down - just stop bme, while attempting to calibrate. Then, after EDV=1 and VDQ=0, remember to charge device for a while (via charge.sh script, as per my instructions), before turning bme again - or, it will shutdown device due to voltage lower than it's threshold.

Ok, I think I got more problems now.
I couldn't uninstall the app from HAM.
Had to apt-get install bnf, apt-get remove bnf.
Then installed via HAM again.

Now with a fresh install bnf still doesn't display anything.

sudo bnf works ok after a reboot but desktop and app lancher icons do nothing.

Is this correct?

Of course not. Could You join IRc #maemo, and "ping Estel_"? We would check, what is going on.

Resolved thanks to Estel on IRC.
QCPUFREQ was set to load bq27x00 module.
After unchecking option and a reboot. bnf works perfectly.

Re: [Announce] bnf - nifty little tool, allowing to have battery info at glance
 

Hey Estel,
just stumbled accidentally over your second package. :)
Nice. Will surely help some people.
(When will see your next deb with battery hot swap via click on widget?)

Seems like something (a script and a desktop file) needs to be deb packaged to get some more deserved attention! ?

Since I am using it since aeons, I just can not remember where/how I got it, via thread or directly from you?
Whatever, I had modified (rearranged, sorted) the output slightly, so it matches my "subjective aesthetic feeling/logic" more :)
Here are my screenies:

Re: [Announce] bnf - nifty little tool, allowing to have battery info at glance
 

...and a sudoers file :D

Seriously though, I always thought that place for such - even simplest - things is in repos, instead in some random (or even extra valuable) thread on TMO, which many people can miss. I'm glad You're enjoying it too :)

Repos version of script benefit from some code cleanup (minor things) - probably, You can re-patch them to Your modified version without much problems :)
