The summary since last device reset is available from BB Device Analyzer app, unfortunately i structured my app to cycle per hour and per day, not per device reset. changing my app monitoring cycles and reports means i need to start from scratch.
Note: please keep in mind i use compressed/over-engineered logic to minimize my app's size.
Ok. I was trying to cut down on it since I haven't discovered a shortcut to getting to battery drain rate for bbda. Also it doesn't show memory leak. BUT- I'd rather the compressed logic and the tons of stuff we get out of AOS than adding something that takes away the functionality. Thanks!!
Running version 5.1.15 of AOS. So far so good
Vecharo, try using iLaunch's custom actions. :)
What is the longevity of the BM log? Is it deleted on a daily basis?
That was one of the first things I noticed after updating the beta... all data prior to update was gone.
Sultan did say in his post that battery logs would be deleted if you installed the upgrade.
"new Beta version available (note: battery monitor logs will be deleted)"
There is a 15 day view, so I guess that is how long the info will be stored.
Wow, that totally went over my head.
I thought it meant it was part of the update, not a result.
Duh me... :o
Excuse me while I go drown myself in a pot of coffee.
Just to say thanks, Sultan, for an awesome app!!

hello
beta's going great
one thing tho..
the battery skins
we need to find a way to compress all the different skins for diff batt levels in one file, and we need to find a location where it's not in the pics and somewhere on the sd card, and a easy way to just select and use it.. if that makes sense. cause the way it is now i cba changing skins at all lol
As a bb expert or above average and new users, you have no issue using the word compression, and locations such as SD card. as for most of the users i have to deal with, its not English to them, so if i want most of the new and average users to use this feature (majority of bb users), i need it to be -proof.
i know most of the users here are used to changing skins using Batteryex, but batteryex is nowhere next to AOSLED popularity.
here are the questions i ask myself:
1- how many users will even use this feature ?
2- how many users will change Battery skins ?
3- how many users will want to change the skins more than once ?
4- how many users have SD card ?
5- how many steps required to change skins for the first time ? (most important)
6- how easy it is for a novice user to change the skins on their own ?
im still trying to find an easier way, however every time a friend of mine tries to change skins while im watching, it doesnt look like its going anywhere, i imagine if i have to include extra steps what will happen :)
Is there any way to make the battery skins optional? Some of us will never want the battery drain meter, so too many skins installed for a feature I'd never use is going to make me consider staying on the previous version. Putting them on the SD Card is preferred as that allows people like me to delete them.
On a related note - how do I make a copy of your application to my PC so I can reinstall it from there? If you are heading down a heavier application route with the battery app side, I would like to keep hold of the current version and have the ability to reinstall it.
Cheers.
I'm very happy with the latest Beta version as it is.
Keep the battery icons plain and simple for me. All I want is the information clearly displayed, which it currently is.
There are enough things on the app to set up as it is without making unnecessary options available.
With MeterBerry no longer being available due to Mobihands demise I would guess that former or prospective users will be looking at the new AOS as a viable alternative.
Long term MeterBerry users never had the option to change the icons and I don't recall it being an issue or the developer being requested to add it as an option.
The App is a tool, not a toy.
Just my view.
it is already optional, i never provide an option without a way to disable it completely ;)
there is nothing saved on the file system if you disable the feature, it will ONLY make a folder in pictures folder to place images if you enabled the option, otherwise nothing will be created ;)
Its not an issue for AOSLED, and having custom Homescren Icons is also optional ;)
so enabling the icons to show on homescreen is optional, and customizing the icons is also optional, you choose what you want to enable and the app will take care of the technical bits for you :)
You are just too good at this. Thanks :) You have such old-school thinking about minimal resource use which is so refreshing to see.
Tested the various Beta Versions with 3 different base 7.1 OS's and .sfi (radio) files with BL Hybrids
Worked a treat with every one.
oh ok, well fair enough :)
i just thought it was a cool (in my opinion that is haha) idea to input into the app perhaps. with the closure of mobihand, users aren't able to access battery ex anymore (unless backed up) so i thought ohh why not make this app even better (even tho very hard to compete hehe :D) and have an option to do battery skins etc. 'cause i figured it'd bring a lot more popularity to the app
if i'm honest i've just been using the icon for ADR but putting my own icons there
i'm sure if the idea pops up again by popular demand you'll do all you can to make it user friendly
still, this night led tho.. LOL, just kidding ;)
thanks Sultan!
the only reason i included the option to change the night icon to a custom one because of your first comment about the night led icon, so now you have the option to change it to whatever you like ;)
as for adding extra steps so people can easily choose between different skins, its doable, but not as easy as battery ex.
however if it is only one skin you want to use, then it is much easier to use my app than batteryex , no compressing files or folders and no need to remember where to save those folders, just replace the picture you want to get it showing on your homescreen ;)
Sultan...
Did you get my email regarding custom iLuanch action from home screen?
my bad, im getting more emails than expected, its becoming very hard to reply to each email, so im skipping few without noticing.
as for "help me" screen, there is another key shortcut just using the alt key. (Alt + eace). this one will work :)
s
When do you not have a solution?? Haha. Thanks!
aye i use battery ex for the battery percentage and been using your app for the battery drain per hour so i will be changing that skin from time to time, but i still have liek 300+ batt ex skins ;) haha
another new beta version available, Nothing will be deleted, so safe to install ;)
this one is final for battery monitor and homescreen icons (sorry @hamsterwheel, after many experiments i decided to keep it basic, but i did try :) ) , everything is fixed and made ready.
i might add few more options to iLaunch before i submit version 15.1 to app world in 2 days :)
Beta looks good so far. Temperature bug gone that we discussed. I�ll respond later if I find anything else that needs attention.
Oh and I like the color change for info (blue, red, orange).
I'm happy to be a beta tester for Sultan! This is a super app, for real!
Is there anyway for the Popup Manager to include a setting to where you Turn OFF say the "Battery Enabled Saver" popup window? I kept getting that today and I couldn't disable it.
I'm looking at the Battery Saving Mode Feature and there is no setting either.
I know it was the Popup Manager because the body background and text colors are at it's default of black and white.
Are you still trying to come up with the Immediate Auto Text Paste feature I mentioned many posts back?
