Dual Battery Widget 0.8 Apk Size : 324 KB Requires Android:1.6 and up Android Market Link - Visit Developer - Visit | |
A Battery Widget that displays the status for the internal battery, and the secondary battery in your dock station. It is mostly intended for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet (which actually has the secondary battery).
What's in this version:
[!] Sometimes the dock wasn't identified after a long sleep cycle
[!] Battery chart will only load the last 7 days of history by default
[!] Battery voltage reported incorrectly
[+] Added Chinese and German translations
[+] Added multiple widget sizes for non HC devices
The widget is resizable, and can be as little as 1 cell on your screen, or fill your whole home screen! Advanced options allow you to change the size and the position of the status text, and hide the second battery gauge when it is disconnected.
On devices without the dock the widget will only show the primary battery icon.
Note: On the current release of Honeycomb, it is possible that the widget will not immediately appear in the widget list after installation. To refresh the widget list, you should either restart your device, or restart the launcher app (Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All -> Launcher -> Force stop)
Note: If you use a custom rom, there is a high chance that this widget will not be able to identify the dock status, or even register that your device supports it at all.. This is a restriction of most custom kernels at this moment, not of this application. This is because Asus extended their Android kernel build to send extra information about the dock and the dock battery along with battery status notifications. Unless this change has been merged in the custom kernel, it will not be sending these notifications
IMPORTANT: The widget is currently in development. This is an early release, and is provided "as is".

Widget is developed by Artiom Chilaru, and all references to the widget should not forget to attribute me as the developer :)
Any feedback is welcomed!
If you have a device that has access to a secondary battery, but this widget does not identify it, drop me an e-mail with the device model, so that I can add support for it.
