Doesn't work on 1.1.9, i'm not going to release an update since battery is natively visible in the lock screen since this update.

This patch displays a simple status bar on the Lockscreen showing the battery charge.

Disable patch before software updates.

If patch isn't working after update 11 try this:

devel-su
cd /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/lockscreen
rm BatteryStatusBar.qml

Then it should ask you:

rm: remove regular file `BatteryStatusBar.qml'?

answer yes

exit

And then disable the patch and try uninstall/reinstall

I think it should work, pay attention on what you do in command line after devel-su, do not remove other files other than BatteryStatusBar.qml

I took a look at CODeRUS and eugenio patches to learn how these things works, so i wanted to thank them here!

the Github page of this project is here: https://github.com/BillyHalley/sailfish-patch-battery-status-bar-on-lockscreen

As any other homescreen patch it requires a home refresh (lipstick restart) to be applied

This patch requires patchmanager and SailfisOS 1.1.1.27

It seems that the "rm BatteryStatusBar.qml" trick should be executed after any OS update. Perhaps a good idea would be to include it in the uninstall process.

Please, before updating always read the release notes:
https://together.jolla.com/question/89804/release-notes-114-aijanpaivanj...
Jolla always remembers users to unable all the patches installed, if you do that, and reinstalled or enabled again the patch after any software update, you won't have any problem with this, and many others, patches

Hi,

I love this widget, but like XiaoMi does with their phones i think this should be docked wither to top or bottom.

Bottom would be great, with visibility on. It would show bottom on lockscreen and top on app launcher.

I think in the actual position in lockscreen is easier to spot, and in other places is not really needed since it's easy to show the battery in no time

Hello. I had this patch running well under 1.1.1.27 (Update 10) but under 1.1.2.15 (Update 11) this patch is not running and i can't disable the patch. If i uninstall it, reboot the phone and instal it afterwards, the patch is always enabled, but not working....

Can you say mething about 1.1.2.15 compatibility ?

Thanks

How can I change the colour of the statusbar? On my white wallpaper I can not see the statusbar.

Can I edit this in a scriptfile?

Well, it's the same color as others lockscreen elements, as clock and network status, so you can't se them neither?
I Don't know how to make a script to change its color

Hello,

First of all. Thanks for this status bar!

Is there possibility to get info also, that how long it will take up to empy battery? (Or in full in the charging phase)

Best Regards,

Mikko

Well this is only a "visual" edit of the lockscreen, not sure how to express it in english, and plus i don't know if is possible to have a real prediction of charge duration, since it depends on how much you are using the phone, but maybe you can search if there are other apps that can do this :)

Since I have installed Meecast-Lockscreeen , I cant't see the battery statusbar on lockscreen.

Is there an confilct between battery-statusbar-patch and meecast-lockscreen-patch?

I don't think it could interfere in any way with other patches, try installing latest update of both

Awesome patch!

However I have a Problem with it.The status bar is not shown like it is shown in the screenshots (close to the clock), but in the upper part of the screen (between data and upper end of the screen). Any idea about this problem? Thanks!!
