yea sometimes the battery icon disappears for me after i hit clear. i have LED on when screen is off and black icons enabled.
how about some 2.4 love this way???
lol...still building it (shhh! don't tell Steven! ). My main goal for v2.4 was to try to remove the reliance on scanning/reading the battery status directories. I'm still coding / testing this functionality and I've made progress, but its not quite there yet...
Totally cool!
I registered on this forum to comment on this cool app.
First, if nothing ever changes with this app I will continue to use it (until something better comes along)
Thank you very much! I appreciate the sentiment and we're all happy to have you here on AndroidForums.
Now a few observations comments and requests.
I installed this app for the charging LED indicator - this part is great. Personally I do not want the LED on during discharge and this is a bit challenging to manage. In the general settings there is the LED Notifications check box to "Display chaging state via LED indicator". Can you make options for charging only, discharging only, charging and discharging, none? This would allow the user to select charge state colors for the notification icon without having the LED glaring at you. Other options and suggestions for this follow...
I probably could do this, but...that's why I added the "Turn LED OFF" "color" in the color choices (more on this below). It seemed to "fit" when I first developed the app. So, you can disable / turn off the LED for these various charging states through the LED color assignments. But I do agree that it should be listed under the "Action" settings (I just haven't done it yet). Its on the list.
Your action/color options could use some re-org and this might also be an alternative fix to the above mentioned issue. LED off is really an action, not a color - guess where this option belongs! Moving this would make settings more logical and easier to understand and use - at least for me. It would also allow the user to set the color (for the notification icon) without having the LED turned on.
I agree and have struggled with deciding when/if to implement this but haven't yet due to creating / supporting other features. Its on my list.
The LED and the battery status color assignments are tied to each other. You can turn the LED notifications off and whatever colors you've chosen for the monitoring mode will guide what color the status bar icon gets.
I've sort of been waiting for someone to ask to have these separated too, lol... Again, its just a matter of coding and supporting these (now seemingly endless ) options [for what started-out as a pretty simple app ].
I would also like to see separate settings for charging and discharging in the percent charged settings. I would set discharge to green for most of the discharge changing to amber and red as the charge state gets low. Conversely I would set charge to red until the charge state gets high, then change to amber then green as the charge state goes into 90% and 100% respectively. Just my thoughts on this status indicator...
lol...you're making my head spin! I think I can do this, but it'll take me some time to support all of the separate variables, etc. I'll put it on the punch list.
These not insignificant changes would greatly improve this app in my opinion.
Thanks for the app, and thanks for listening;
J.P.
Its not a problem at all and I very much appreciate the feedback. Your requests are actually pretty simple (or should be). I've just got to weigh the time it takes to code them vs. debugging issues and expanding the app to do cool new things.
BattMonX is really only my second "major" app and I'm really still learning. I like sharing my work with others who appreciate it and am happy to accommodate them when I can. I never really imagined that the app would morph into what it has today .
Cheers and stay tuned...
