Please reply.

confirmed that this works on 10.5.5. Roneil you should use this one in the tutorial instead of the existing one.

Confirm too, works on D630, 10.5.5.

I just downloaded it. I am about to install on my Gateway M-6843. Will give feedback afterwards.

Will try this one later. Already installed one but the only problem is that at times unless I reselect it, it does not update the percentage. The time does not work at all. Will update once completed.

In my toshiba work well, percentage and the time.

confirmed working on hp dv6625ew with kalyway 10.5.2 upgraded to 10.5.5 vanilla kernel. sleep still not working however...

Works perfectly on my Dell Vostro 1310 and iATKOS v4i. Time and percentage possible.

Wow! Haven't checked here in a while. Came across this thread and it worked!

Gateway MX6930

Thanks hertenem for the reply.

10.5.5

After the install and reboot, the battery icon shows up for a split second, then disappears. Gateway MT-6840.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found Chun Nan's AppleACPIBatteryManager_b15 and that worked perfectly.

I have version 10.5.5 and your installer worked like a charm in showing the battery meter. But in the process, I bricked my osx. now I get a kernel panic and can only boot into safe mode. and even while in safe mode, I also lose ps/2 functionality and need to use my usb mouse and usb keyboard. how would I go about uninstalling this? I'm also on an Acer Extensa 4620-4605. Thanks for your efforts and I hope to eventually get this feature going.

Here are the messages I get from a regular boot:



and with "-v"

Work in 10.5.6!
My notebook is a Clevo M540S, or in Brazil Positivo v45.
Thanks a lot.

Doesn't work on my HP 6720s.

Thanks all for reply

This package doesn't work for me

I hava a Dell Vostro 1200 (or Compal JFT00) and iATKOS 5.5 10.5.4 updated to 10.5.5...

The icon of battery doesn't appear...

This worked for me.
Acer Aspire 5630 running Leopard 10.5.6.

I have battery icon, and can chose to display battery icon only, time or percentage battery remaining.

Thanks very much!

Thanks - work with 10.5.5 IDeneb on Dell Latitude D530.

Thanks for the reply.

Cool! Its working for me!! Thank u very much!! Toshiba A100-906 XxX 10.5.6

I installed it. It works perfectly.
However, when I want to shut down, it shows "you have to restart your computer....."
Someone said this means kernel panic.
What should I do now?

Thank you so much!!
Works excellent on HP Tx2 TouchSmart series. iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 (upgrade kit from 1.3)
No problems with restart like previously mentioned.
It recognizes A/C just fine.
I can select energy saver preferences and change to optimize battery or performance, but still, I am throwing battery power out the window at about 1% per minute, probably faster.
Does anybody have a fix for battery life yet?

THANKS!! Works Perfectly!

Confirmed to work on iDeneb 10.5.6 + 10.5.7 upgrade package on Acer Extensa 5220.

Thanks!

Thanks all for the replay. Please confirm model of the notebook and the version of MAC OS X.

Great job guys

Acer Aspire 5101ANWLMi
Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 V.2

Working!

One thing only

I have two batt icons on the menu bar! I dont have two batteries
Click to view attachment

Ok I have done some research and made some conclusions that may be helpful to someone and I want to share.

Two battery Icons were the effect of VoodoBattery.kext which was on my system when installing the PowerManagement10.5.3.zip. So try to install this on non modded power management kexts and bundles. It is strongly recomanded to backup the PowerManagement.bundle and AppleACPIPlatform.kext so you can always restore them if something go wrong.

It went wrong with my Acer and I was lucky to find this thread PS2_Batt_Working . I had a freezing issue when on battery power. Those files helped me solwing everithing.

Oh noes! I installed this and it worked, I now have a battery indicator, but my touch pad won't work. Even my USB mouse won't work. I don't know if the keyboard is working or not since there's nothing on the screen for me to type in, but I don't think it is since my volume buttons don't do anything and the caps lock key doesn't making it's "on" light come on.

During the original iPC install I had to run the PS/2 keyboard and mouse fixes. I wonder if this undid those fixes.

Please someone, tell me I don't have to install all over again. Maybe something from inside the iPC installer, like in Disk Utilities or something.

When I restart with -v it loads fine, but pauses brifly on this part with an error:



Edit: Oh sweet, I tried another USB mouse and that one works, now if I can only undo installing this thing... If I do open something like the text editor it starts repeatedly entering "77777777777..." etc

So I ended up re-installing OS X. Which was good anyway since there were a few other iPC kexts I could install with the OS. One of those was just called "Power Management Package" which is supposed to be a battery fix, but didn't work.

iPC comes with a couple of others called Apple ACPI Battery Manager and Apple ACPI Power Source. I wonder if either of those might work.

I have a dv6700 and the installer worked, I get the battery indicator, but I get the same problem as Philbert. The keyboard and trackpad are not working properly. My laptop boots successfully in about 1 out of 5 times. I also get the 7777777... problem, but it stops when I press volume up/down (weird?!).

I restored all my kexts to before the installation, and the battery indicator disappeared and the keyboard worked again(I use VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext and VoodooPS2Controller.kext).

Does anyone know how i can get both the battery and the keyboard and trackpad to work at the same time?


Please help me out. Its really frustrating to don´t know when I´m out of power..

Succes with a TC4400, Great link! thanks a lot
