[Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

Hi
I've been working on my app and finally is out.
It isn't shiny beautiful, but is :)
I need some testers to check if everything is showed all right.
Tell what's your kernel, and if the data are the same as in file
Already tested for kernel-power v46

Instruction:
1. Copy this executable anywhere you want it, but not on VFAT partitions, like /home/user/MyDocs. Without modding or reformatting, executing binaries from VFAT is not possible.
2. Make it executable:

Code:

---

chmod +x marbattery-0_9_1b

---

3. Run it:

Code:

---

./marbattery-0_9_1b

---

Tell if there are any bugs!

And I would've forgot it! :)
DOWNLOAD
install script - it needs to be in the same directory the executable is in
uninstall script - this one can be run from anywhere but VFAT partitions such as /home/user/MyDocs

Source code: attached

will give it a try thanks man!!!!

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I will test it. I am on Power Kernel 47.

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

In X-Term I set the permission without a problem, but upon running the ./marbattery-0_9 I get the following error:

Permission Denied.

If I run the file from file box I get the following error:
No handler configured for application/x-executable (.file://home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/marbattery-0_9)


Should the file not have a .DEB extension?

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

/home/user/MyDocs/.tmp/datadump shows exactly the same values.

MyNokiaN900, move it to eg. /home/user/, then chmod +x it, then run it as root.

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

NokiaN900: do you know that a .deb file is? Open a .deb with an arcjiver such as Fileroller or 7zip and see. And the file I uploaded is an executable

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

sudo gainroot
then try it

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

@Keneraali: which kernel do you use?Did this work without root?

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

Fair enough, I copied the file to /home/user/ and chmod +x marbattery-0_9 and see the following:

MarBattery v.1.0

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I'm pretty sure it's a permission issue. Try
and if this isnt working

If it doesnt let you chmod - add "sudo" before 'chmod"

Aaah and I'd forget - if not modded you can't execute from fat - and ur homefs is fat32. the same thing with ntfs. so move the binary to your opt/root fs or use MaeModder or modify /etc/fstab

About the risk mentioned in prog: The only risks are filling your fs :)

This binary is with dbg symbols in as beta so if theres a problem, track it with gdb (built in on N900)

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I have the stock kernel, 2.6.28-omap1. Without root the script gives me

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I'll examine it 2moro
If you can please post some gdb output

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

any screenshots !!!!!

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

It's just console prog, but I'll post some soon
But it will have GUI later

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

as ive seen theres no problem when the binaries have full permissions, as -rwxrwxrwx
Any idea why this happens?

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

doesnt worrk for me... :(

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

tell is it the error mentioned before?
Does it persist with full permissions?
Do you have now -rwxr-xr-x permissions?

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

Fixed, I'm just uploading it!
EDIT: Note, now the file is /home/user/MyDocs/.datadump

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I've just tested the last release. Working for me not sure if it is accurate though. I'll let you know if I found a problem here.


Please change this text in your first post to something that indicates that the binary should not be copied under VFAT filesystems (Ex. /home/user/MyDocs or /media/mmc1):

Copy this executable anywhere you want it.

Enjoy a new install script done by me!

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

And now I've added the uninstall script. Until it's final, it'll be distributed as a binary. Soon I'll add it to extras-devel!

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I did not run your install script, but after looking at it I cannot find where you create directory /opt/marbattery. I doubt it is there by default.

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I've just added a corrected version :)
I'm too late :)

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

hmmm, I cannot see read command.

so it will not wait for user action after this line:

echo "Press any key to install MarBattery 0.9.1 beta. Press ctrl+c or exit the terminal to abort the installation."

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

Whoops, bad file :)

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

It's getting info from BME or bqw27200? Is it configurable? Do You use dr_frost_dk excellent algorithm to calculate REAL percentage of capacity, instead of linearly guessed one (default)?

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I'm using

I'm just reading some data from dump of this command

No, I'll check that algorithm

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

This project is temporarily frozen as I need an application for myself.
It'll be Shotime-based tv-program browser, as showtime doesn't satisfy my needs.

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I'm uploading the source code to the first post.
If this is useful, I may continue the development of it.

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

How does this differ from bnf?
Screenshots?

Re: [Testers needed] [Announce] [Beta] First version of marbattery - brand-new battery information-getting app
 

I didn't use bnf. I did it a long time ago and now I recalled this app and decided to publish the source.

Screenshots are on the way.
