AppleACPIBatteryManager for Tiger and Leopard

[twobunnyrabbit]

Hi Chun-Nan

After updating my laptop to 10.5.4, the previous patched powermanagement bundle didn't work.

Tried the b6 release with the original one and it works.

Thanks.

[morphin999]

Thanks, Chun-Nan. I have gone through this whole thread and tried several ways to get my battery meter to show up. You know what? Today I happend to find a simple way to solve this problem: I simply installed the OS X 10.4.8 only using the batter without plugging in the power adapter. Then when the systerm reboots, the battery meter showed up and indicate the exact amount of power level. Also there are options in the Energy Saver for the batter.

I hope this will help other people who may want to give it a try. To me, it seems that the installer can detect the battery during installation when the power adapter is not in use. I do not know what exactly in the program.

Thanks, Chun-Nan. Beta 6 is working properly on my Dell M90. The system is able to recognize whether I plug or unplug the power cord.

Chun-Nan,

I built and installed b6 with the same result as before. Basically, time and percentage look right, but the icon only changes from full to charging (no decay) and SP shows zeroed-out information for the battery.

 

Also, I don't know if it has anything to do with the battery manager code, but my system's power profile doesn't change between AC and Battery states. For example, I have my machine set to sleep after 5mins if on battery, and to never sleep if on AC; however, it always sleeps after 5min whether AC is connected or not.

The only issue I've found so far is after wake from sleep, battery icon says no battery installed.

Otherwise, great work Chun-Nan!

[kytzu]

It fixed my bug, I see 100% now and not 83% as with b4. Thx again

[extremeae]

If someone can make this an install package, that would be great! That will save a lot of time.

 

Off topic: I reinstall Leo4All 10.5.2 to see if I can duplicate and make the battery meter appear again, no go. I can't understand why it's not working now. Luckily I image the partition with Acronis and restore the working image with the working battery meter.

This battery kext only works with vanilla AppleACPIPlatform.kext and vanilla PowerManagement.bundle. Check to see if you selected hacked version of them during installation.

I backup the AppleACPIPlatform.kext and vanilla PowerManagement.bundle that has worked before I re-install, and I copy over after I redo the installation, still nothing.

 

I was only testing the installation because I can't seem to get my HP DV6500T to show as MacBook Pro. Instead it kept showing Mac Pro. I tried to replaced whatever AppleSMBIOS.kext I can find but nothing seem to work. If anyone out there can help, I appreciate a lot!

Chun-Nan, I found a simple solution to show the battery meter in 10.4.8. Just installed the OS X with batter power only, don't plug in the AC adapter during installation. After the installation completes, the batter meter is automatically shown on the task bar.

but I still have the problem with sleep. Once the computer sleeps, it will never wake up. Have to shut it down and restart. Do you have any solution for this?

[T u r b o]

For Thinkpad owners (T61 specifically) I added this routine to make sure that matching only happens for the first battery (battery 0)

 

/******************************************************************************
* AppleACPIBatteryManager::probe
*
******************************************************************************/

IOService *AppleACPIBatteryManager::probe(IOService *provider, SInt32 *score)
{
OSString *OSS;

IOService *ret = super::probe(provider,score);

// Attach only to battery UID 0
if (ret)  {
 OSS=(OSString*)provider->getProperty("_UID");
 if (!OSS->isEqualTo("0")) return(NULL);
}

return(ret);

}

 

I can stick a binary up if somebody needs it. Thanks for your great work, Chun-Nan!

Turbo, thanks for this. But does it solve the AC displayed as battery problem?

[quinielascom]

Hi, someone has working AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext in a Acer Aspire laptop of this models:

 

Acer Aspire 4320, 4720, 5720, 5920, 2920 or Acer laptop with 960/965 chipset without power o related problems, example kernel panic at turnoff or restart, etc.

 

Version Leopard is not matter (10.5.1 up 10.5.4 is fine).

It does for me.

Turbo, please make the binary available. I have not tried to compile such things myself, so it would be very helpful for me and others who own T61.

Hi guys,

 

Sorry that I was out of this week but will be back tomorrow. About serial informaiton, it seems that some notebooks use OSData type to store informaiton while some use OSString. I will check it when I am back. Also, I will check the multi-battery bays issue, too. Thanks.

 

Chun-Nan

[~Eureka]

Sorry that last time I'm not using vanilla Powermanagement.bundle.

You actually did a wonderful job. With vanilla 10.5.3 Powermanagement.bundle, b6 works great.

However, there are still problem in reading correct BatterySerialNumber. Also, the time displayed is decreasing instead of increasing during charge.

.....

 

Hi guys,

 

I have uploaded b7 version. For those who got "Serial Number: XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ-0000", you can give it a try to see if it can get the battery info. (I am not sure if it will work or not because my notebook uses OSString for battery info instead of OSData)

 

I think the reason why System Profiler shows zeroed-out information for the battery is because it read the data from the battery bay without batteries installed. That is probably the reason why power profile doesn't change between AC and Battery states.

 

BTW, the displayed time is decreasing while the battery is charged because it shows how long it will finish charging.

 

Chun-Nan

 

The only issue I've found so far is after wake from sleep, battery icon says no battery installed.

Otherwise, great work Chun-Nan!

 

Hi paulicat,

 

I checked the source code. It should read the battery info again after waking up from sleep. Perhaps, it just needs some time to respond.

[mrheat]

After restoring PowerManagement.bundle and vanilla AppleACPI kext,

it shows Battery Info correctly in System Profiler, Serial Values are all 0 but Capacity and others are fine.

 

coconutBattery shows Infos, but i cant get the icon in menubar working, Power Manager Panel is

missing the knob.

 

I have a Maxdata Pro800IW with Core2Duo 1,83ghz and 945gcm chipset.

Thanks for the codes. I think it will work with certain notebooks because not all the notebooks have the same _UID. (Therefore, I didn't add it to the source code)

 

It will be great if you can post the change files here.

 

Chun-Nan

 

Yes I agree this is not a great permanent fix. There could be a property set if you only want to match a specific battery _UID. I can add this and post the change here.

 

There's probably a better way to probe and determine whether to use the battery info or not, but a configuration option would guarantee it can work for all cases.

Hi Chun-Nan,

 

Beta 7 gave me a kernel panic, I did not have that with previous versions. My laptop is Thinkpad T61 and it can be equipped with an additional battery, but it is not. My problem is that the meter shows that I'm on battery, whereas actually I'm on AC power, and also the system profiler info is wrong:

Please let me know if you need more tests or info.

I re-installed Leo4Allv3, and this time without selecting any kernel. Once the installation finished and booted onto the desktop, I get the Battery Meter automatically. Now I have MacBook as the machine identifier.

 

I guess all is working nicely now. What's the diference if I use yours? Also I don't get any battery info like when I have your AppleACPIBatteryManager installed.
