Default Good Battery Indicator for A1200

Dear Freinds,

Is there a good battery indicator for A1200... if please share me the link...

if no... can i share one observation...
this is about rockbox and (surprisingly) "battery indicator"... Few days back, my phone fell down from my hand and my Camera Buttin had failed to function. So i didnt install Rockbox till now coz to quit Rockbox, i had to switch off my phone... but yesterday i got my button repaired and installed the newest version of rockbox... thats when i noticed this
when the new Rockbox with touchscreen support runs, it shows a battery indication on the top left, a tiny one. i dont know if i am mistaken, but i feel the battery indication given by Rockbox is the REAL one... even when my normal battery indicator shows full charge (i know it is almost close to 0 charge), the rockbox indicator shows low charge after a couple of seconds...
Now if this is correct, there should be some way by which rockbox gets the battery indication, right... now if we can find how rockbox gets battery charge status, the same thing can be made into an application. This would eliminate one of our Wish List items - BATTERY INDICATOR...
Do you feel its worth a try?

No, Rockbox battery indicator on E680/E680i/A780/A1200/E6 just a simulation and the value totally not correct. MotorolaFans member arctu made some modification to Rockbox and reported the battery indicator work on E2 but not working on A1200 when I tested his code on A1200 version.

Is there a way for you to make a good battery status application? It really sucks that it only indicates 100%, 50%, 5%, etc... Sony Ericsson and Nokia have more sophisticated battery indicators.

Yeah, you just need to charge the fone in 30 secs and it displays full battery
