Any ideas (I didn't read the entire thread) when this will be released into extras?

By the way: as of yesterday I ran "rmmod bq27x00_battery". Nothing crashed or died or exploded.
NetMon (which couldn't load battery data before when the bq27x00 module was interphering with BME) started working fine.
I had also been developing a charging bug (including when phone was off) where the battery would obviously reach 100%, but the LED would keep winking yellow, instead of steady green. First charge after rmmod-ing the thing, it charged up as normal, indeed, reported full charge a lot sooner that I was expecting (since I had gotten used to it charging for 8 hours and still blinking).
So that's some initial, non-technical documentation on the conflict between BME and bq27x00_battery. Wish I had the know-how to report the techical details of how this occurs.
Meanwhile, university classes have been taking up my time. I have not had the time to fully get scratchbox (which I probably don't need since this is python based - unsure on this currently) working, let alone start learning python - however, I will be doing my best to start as soon as possible.

Just thought I'd let you know in this thread (though you probably already know from the other one, about Interface Switcher), with all the packages updated to the way it looks in the SVNs, Advanced Power and Advanced Power Monitor seem to be working fine. Clicking on the battery button in the status menu brings up a dialog with two tabs and a 'save' button. The Preferences tab is empty, the About tab contains your name, copyright info and I am pretty sure your email (don't have the N900 close by to check while typing this.)
And the / between active and idle times left has been replaced with a | which I think looks better, so that's good. Anyway, if that's what your latest version in the SVNs is supposed to look like, cool, if not, then something didn't work. But near as I can tell everything is working fine.

Ah. That's good then. (Though to be fair, your N900 sunk before PR1.3 came out. So you have that confirmed to be working. There wasn't any reason to think it would stop working, but you never know, so at least this confirms that.)

Did you read the first post? Did you see the picture that shows you what happens? Did you read the red text saying "Remember to reboot your device if status-menu is messed up"?
Anyway, sorry if that's dickish, but I am more than understanding of not reading 60 pages - not reading the first post, on the other hand. Try restarding hildon-status-menu - in x-term, type "killall hildon-status-menu". Wait as the status menu vanishes and reappears. If the battery icon is still not back, try rebooting. If that doesn't work, then we can go from there.

Alright. Sorry I was snappy. I'm having my own issue elsewhere on my N900 right now (trying to figure out where the hell to get the 'fiasco-flasher' package to flash the kernel from within the N900...).
Well, my only guess is there might be something broken regarding python, or something went wrong during install. Does your battery icon only not appear in the status menu icon tray, or is it also gone from the pop-up menu as well? Also, can you post what is located inside this file:
/ect/hildon-desktop/status-menu.plugins ?

RenaldoTT - Not for a long time. I would say that you're not missing out on too much if you're worried about enabling Testing/Devel. It's a really good application, but unless you want approximate times left active and idle for battery life, you can probably be okay without this one. (Though I felt it was a bit more accurate than the default one unless you're running the power kernel's bq27x00 module. Then it and BME conflict, causing it to underreport the charge left.)
On that note, I never did test what happens when I rmmod that thing. (Lately my battery has developed another bug too, in the form of not switching to the green light when finishing charging, funny enough. Doubt it has to do with this though. Currently looking it up on here.)
