Maemo 4/ Advanced Power + Battery Icon
 

I've searched the forum for a while looking for a way to remove the default battery icon because I want to switch to Advanced-Power. I can't untick it in the statusbar settings and I can't find a thread, or if it's even possible. If not, I might just switch back to the normal battery icon because I don't like having that arrow thing on my statusbar. Is there a way to remove it?

It is possible to deselect the default battery 'icon', just like almost everything else in the statusbar area (only 'Presence' and 'Connection' are greyed out for me).

It's not possible for me to deselect Battery from my Status Bar panel. Battery , Connection, and Presence are greyed out.

Hmm, how odd - it is de-selectable (and long ago de-selected in favor of advanced power :p) for me.

Did you already install the advanced power app, and if so, what version are you using?

Installing AP should've enabled the removal of the original battery applet. As it appears not to have done so:

1) sudo gainroot;
2) vi /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/hildon-status-bar-battery.desktop;
3) Add an '#' (w/out the quote marks) in front of the line saying "Mandatory=True"; and
4) Save and exit.

Then you should be able to disable the applet via control panel -> panels -> status bar.
