I have been watching this thread for a long time and I would like to try to start helping out if its not too late. I am new to this stuff, but i have done quite a bit of fw modding on cell phones. I have a lot of free time and would like to try to start helping if someone feels like explaining to me how i need to get started. I have vista 32 bit. What programs would I need and what do i need to have on my zen vision m? I would be glad to help. thanks

guestion: are there any plans to change the battery indicator system? because the current firmware wont let me use my new battery ,its 3,7V instead 3,2 or something like that;
i can make the battery work but if my player crashes and i have to reset the indacotr go's to "battery drained" mode wich is wrong.and when its working the indicator wont change
it would really be great if you can make these battery's work normally. you get something like 7,5hrs of video and much more audio (didnt test it)
i wish i could do something myself but...
could you make a code wh allows you to manually set battery 0% and let it charge all night (full charge) and then set the 100%
something like this is probably farfar away from today but thank you all for reading this and all the work you guys have done before ;D
sorry for the horrible english :-\

Take a look at the wiki page. I also advice you to set up a build system, so you can compile code yourself.
Then start with trying to fetch the current SVN, patch it with my latest diff and compile that and upload it to your ZVM.
If you succeed in that, you can start trying to disassemble the original firmware and try figuring out the hardware.

Yes, that will be no problems (look at the current Rockbox targets, they all support it). But, as you say, that's for in the far, far future :)

@mceulenaere: It works! Constantly changing value :)
edit: But I messed some stuff and reverted to the originals and appllied your diffs, (which caused some trouble.. So I now have to rediscover the right settings for my screen.. after that I'll be able to give you all the addresses you wanted)

Does it change about every second? If so, it is the RTC(Real Time Clock) :)
