Description:
This is an application which displays the current battery information in large text. It also doubles as a fullscreen torch application.
I wrote it so I could see from a distance what the charge level was, and how fast the battery was charging.
The colour of the text also changes depending on levels, and temperature.
This has only been tested on a Diamond2, but works with many other devices. Not all features work on certain ROMs or Phones, and it generally helps to have a rom with 1% power driver installed. Some people have seen the app working fine without this.
