Battery Control, an application that allows you to control your Status bar battery image and percentage, has been updated to version 1.1.0. The update contains one new feature and three bug fixes (see change log below). The new feature is only available in the full version of the app.

1.1.0 Change Log:
- Added “Tap to Switch” auto-switch timer feature which will switch the pattery/percentage back to the default state after a user-defined delay.
- Fixed unresponsive settings panel for style updates.
- Fixed some performance issues.
- Fixed some potential battery drain issues.

Battery Control is a simple application that allows you to turn on/off the Statusbar battery icon and the Statusbar battery percentage. Once the app is installed, it is added as an option in the stock Settings application. The app gives you two options, turn on/off Show Battery and turn on/off Show Percentage.

A simple application but, I think one of the only that allows you to turn off the battery icon and still leave the battery percentage. Doug like that he can turn off the battery icon and have some additional space on his statusbar. You can get Battery Control via modmyi source.

The WeatherIcon mod was recently update to version 2.1.16. The update doesn’t make any visual change to the mod itself but, it does add a description of the Override Location feature in the Settings for the app. The update also adds compatibility with LockInfo and includes a bug fix. See the full change log below. You can get this update to WeatherIcon via the modmyi source.

Change Log:
- Added LockInfo Plugin. No Themes yet, but this will allow for integration with LockInfo.
- Cleared up instructions in the settings.
- Fixed another possible “in call” issue that would mess up incoming calls if a phone is plugged in.

There have been a few updates to the WeatherIcon mod since the last time I wrote about it. The updates were mostly bug fixes but, the update to 2.1.14 caught my eye. The update says, “This release “should” fix issues that people were seeing with phones running on EDGE that had incoming call issues. I got reports of problems with calls being dropped, no audio, and other oddities. This release should handle that more gracefully.”

Ok, seriously, I have been wondering why my iPhone was being so crazy lately. People would call and I couldn’t answer or it would answer and there would be no sound or I would try to make a call and it would be dead air. It was really starting to drive Doug crazy and he was going to restore my iPhone today but, I am going to give this a try first. I will have to test it for a while and let you know how it goes. Let me know in the comments if you notice a change.

Change Logs:
2.1.14
    • This release “should” fix issues that people were seeing with phones running on EDGE that had incoming call issues. I got reports of problems with calls being dropped, no audio, and other oddities. This release should handle that more gracefully.

2.1.13
    • Fix for 2.x OS

2.1.11
    • Fix some issues with the weather info conflicting with the bluetooth icons in the statusbar.

2.1.10
    • The release is an attempt at fixing the crashed that some people have. I have not definitely isolated the crash issue, so this release may do nothing to help.

LiveClock has been updated to version 0.4. Before the update, the LiveClock mod worked but, it was a little weird…when you first installed it, it would display six hands instead of three and you would have to tap at the very bottom of the Clock icon to open the stock Clock application. Well, the update fixes these problems. I no longer had a problem with the mod displaying six hands and the Clock application opens normally.

The update also says that it fixes the “digital clock digits disappearing at 00.” Overall, the update seems to work great! I am actually going to leave it enabled now! You can get LiveClock via the iSpazio source.

Note: LiveClock is enabled/disabled via WinterBoard.

It seems we have another update to the WeatherIcon mod. Once again, I had no problem with the update on an iPhone running 2.2. The mod also seems to be working a little better with the 3.0 firmware. The Status Bar part of the mod is looking much better and it now visible instead of being too high and getting cut off. I did notice that the Status Bar mod does not work correctly if you are adding the date to your Status Bar using SBettings. It did take a few resprings and disabling/enabling to get it to work correctly (Status Bar) but, that could have to do some of my mods and not the actual WeatherIcon app.

I have had quite a few people asking me about the LiveClock mod (a mod that displays the current time on your Clock icon) and whether or not it works on the 3.0 firmware….the answer is, yes!

The first time you install the mod, it will be over the top of your Stock icon which makes it look weird because it will have two hour, minute and second hands. All you need to do is go into WinterBoard and disable LiveClock. Your iPhone and/or iPod Touch will respring. Now, go back into WinterBoard and uncheck the LiveClock Disabled option…your device will respring again and voilà you will have the LiveClock mod (working correctly). You can get this mod via the iSpazio source.

There was another update to the WeatherIcon mod. The updated says that it adds “more 3.0 compatibility.” When I tested it, I was able to enable the Status Bar Image and Temp but, they are not aligned correctly. They are too high on the Status Bar and are only partially visible.

The update does make the app compatible with the 2.2 firmware again. When I installed the update on an iPhone running 2.2, it did not go into Safe Mode and both the Icon and Status Bar worked correctly. So, you should be safe to install it now.

I’m sure we will see an update in the near future that fixes the Status Bar alignment issue on the 3.0 firmware. Keep up the good work David!

The WeatherIcon mod (a mod that allows the current temperature and weather conditions to be displayed on your weather icon) has been updated to version 2.1.2 which allows it to work on the 3.0 firmware. The status bar part of the mod still is not working on 3.0 but, at least the icon part of the mod is!

When I first installed WeatherIcon, on my iPhone running 3.0, it went into safe mode. I restarted the SpringBoard again, as prompted by the safe mode pop-up, and it worked fine. The same thing happened when I updated the mod on an iPhone running 2.2 firmware as well (safe mode, restarted, worked fine).

I was actually glad to see that David updated this mod…it is one of my favorites! Remember, WeatherIcon is now controlled via your stock Settings application and not WinterBoard. You can get this mod in the david.ashman.com source.

WARNING: When I went to change some thing in the Settings of WeatherIcon, on firmware 2.2, the iPhone went into continuous Safe Mode. I had to go into Cydia (in Safe Mode) and uninstall the app…which then fixed the problem (but rearranged all my Apps…which is weird!). If you are on firmware 2.x….I would not suggest upgrading!

The No Calendar Date application is a mod that will remove the date from the calendar icon on your SpringBoard. As the developer mentions in the More Info, this is nice for themes that have smaller icons…most likely for those of you using the FiveIrows mod or the FCSB mod.

When you install the No Calendar Date application, it will be added into WinterBoard where it can then be activated/deactivated. In order for it to display correctly, you will want to move it above your theme in the WinterBoard list. Screenshots below.
