anybody got an idea on how to move the icons to take the space of the now removed battery icon on the desktop??
So, if you find that 12 is the highest position-value in that file (X-Status-Menu-Position=12), change the 12 to 1, like so: X-Status-Menu-Position=1.
Those are just indexes in the status menu, starting on 1. Since there are two columns the indexes are like:
1 2
3 4
5 6 ...

Another way to make this better would be to edit the battery meter system, but i don't know how to edit/use a .so file?????
the file for the battery meter/indicator is /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/status-area-applet-battery.so
i already have the RAW numbers after making a discharge test on one of the battery's from my battery test thread.
This way i could make it display the REAL battery state instead of now

X-Status-Area-Permanent-Item=Special-Item-1
instead of whatever
X-Status-Area-Position=X it is now. So comment out (#) the Position-line and add the Permanent-line for the wanted icon.
I haven't tried it myself, but it "looks like" it should work. Of course that column would still look a bit odd since it has only 1 spot, but perhaps better than nothing?

Use
to see what the actual package name is. dpkg -l lists all the packages the dpkg utility has installed (which means everything installed with the app managers, apt-get, or dpkg -i, etc), and grep then filters out all the lines except those which contain the string "flashlight". If that doesn't find it, try using just "light" instead of flashlight, or something.
Running this on my device, I get the package "flashlight-applet". So I think that's the proper name of the package. So try pinning that.
Code:
dpkg -l | grep "flashlight"

That said, you also need power kernel installed and the right modules loaded to be able to get reads from that sensor to begin with. If you've got all those things, you can package the entire thing inside a status menu applet, yes.
