I use it since old versions of kernel power and I have zero problem with it.
It is a lot more precise than the stock one and can read battery level even if bme is stopped (usb hostmode).

Ok, I can disable autoloading this modele in next release.
Note that I have no problem with bq27x00_battery too...

I do not agrre that it is DEPRECATED. You can found it in meego kernel. It is standard power-supply kernel platform module - no non standard like BME userspace app... (but if it has problem with BME, I disable autoloading)

Thank you pali re not autoloading it. As mentioned, there's already a file in power kernel (/etc/modules) that allows users to add whatever modules they want to load - so those who wish can load bq27x00_battery at boot by adding it to that file anyway.

Anyway, I'm not sure about bq27x00_battery occupying the bus completely or breaking BME completely - HOWEVER, I am sure that when you combine bq27x00_battery AND Advanced Power, you get different battery readings that are wrong. I'm not qualified to explain why, but it does.

Hi just wanna give feedback that I also don't have problems with bq27x00_battery except with it showing conky some thousands of numbers on temperature and voltage which I know the cause of course. But other than that? Nothing

there's a fixed version in the official conky thread if you didn't know. i'm kinda lazy so it hasn't made it to the repo yet...
And yeah I didn't have problems with the autoloading either, kinda strange if it's crashing bme or whatever.

I think that BME only read values about battery throw /dev/i2c... (but I do not know... it is closed).

And bq27x00_battery does not occupying bus. It only call functions for reading values from i2c bus. All info which bq27x00_battery read is from official documantation. Note that I added support for more info (time to empty, time to full, ...) in this module and now it is in upstream - so it shouldnt be deprecated.

And why BME report different values (percentage is different in BME and in bq module)? I do not know, but bq reports *correct* values from documentation... So BME must report values which are changed or somethink else...

bq27x00_battery module was tested on other devices then nokia n900 and there was no error... - So I think problem is BME (which report different values)

So far I have the lxp drivers, I have android, power kernel 47 and stock in multiboot, what do I need to do, to add the lxp drivers in? just install everything plus the boot image and it will create a boot item file and the kernel file and everything will work fine? or are the lxp drivers already in power47?

ok i blacklisted the bq27x00_battery module, but now the battery widget in the status menu is far from accurate, very far, and the tempreture widget stopped working, so how can i unblacklist it ??
