doesn't seem to be able to show all 9 levels.. just testet it.. for about 95% of the time it was showing level 1 ... then level 2.. i got a "low battery" message then the player shut down.. after restart i had level 3 for about 1-2 minutes then the same as before.. restart and now level 9 is shown.. seems the levels in between are skipped.. and everything besides level 1 only appears during the last few minutes before the battery is empty...

I would say the 9 images are more for recharge animation than accurate battery level indication.

recharge animation? there are totally different images for that

Egotrippin that sounds really weird, if thats true with everybody, then that is the manufacturers fault surely, because we are only altering the firmware images, and they are in the right order. if thats the case with you, originally your player must have never shown battery empty. Im going to test mine now, I need to see how long the battery lasts anyway, will post results. Perhaps mine is the same, it has had "full battery" for a while....

I have one set of nine battery images and they show for both usage and recharge.

oh....mines a bit different, i have ones with a blue background for the status and ones with a green background for recharge which i didnt bother to change as it doesnt matter to me.

Well....results are as follows.....after playing a video for an hour and a half on max volume the battery has gone down, and in the right order! problem is, it went down to 75% :x that has completely ruined this thread lol but at least people can download the battery bit to get the coloured icons

this battery lasts ages

the fact that it has shown the empty battery with level 1 in my case shouldn't be a problem since it has shown the full battery with level 9 .. so i can put the images in backwards and it will be fine..

but as i said.. its a bit strange since before i modded the firmware level 1 had the full battery image

My firmware have just 6 icons for the battery, from BATTLV1 to BATTLV6... =(
How can I add more icons? So I could use your modification with 9 icons.. =)
