[Kernel mod] enable USB fast charging(now in the jawz101 kernel!

[thewraith420]

Here you go for zVJ gingerbread only Roms. Test 2 GB kernel http://tinyw.in/OCcS

Grab the toggle from Play or use the terminal commands.

Test 2 Seems to be working good on zvj dante rom v4

thank you so much sir!

I'm actually just making my own free toggle widget for this because I like to do that myself.

Is root access required to set the fast charge? I'm setting it in my app (not for checking the status siince non-root can do a less I believe)

Here's 1.1 of the widget which has file checks in place (so won't do anything if you don't have a fastcharge kernel), makes the statusbar icon static, and checks your USB status when you toggle (in case it's plugged in) to let you know if you should unplug/replug the USB or not.

Been working stable for me all day, so why not attach it?

Would it be okay to include this as a system app? I well have to add some permissions to the app though as it has none right now.

So I've been trying to get this to work on my phone, I'm running CM9.1. It always says error file does not exist. Could anybody help me out?

This is a CM7 kernel, so don't flash on CM9.

TheKraven's new kernels have this patch as well though. You can flash it, then force AC charging from Terminal, or the patch he has.

Yes, but I thought you nneeded to reboot for it to be fully working. That's where I'm confused, I've been using it as well though

Well have an update tomorrow with Enzomatrx FastChargeWidget.apk built in. Had to add some system permissions to keep it from Force-Closing on boot.

? Does this mean I shouldn't be using the 10/21 build of your rom that I got off iho updater

You can, but the permissions are set wrong for FastChargeWidget and may cause Force-Close of the app on boot up. I would just download the update when I release it and "adb push" the app to "/system/app/" since there is not going to be any other changes.

 

[Enzomatrx]

Oh hey missed updating this thread (been reading the DanteROM one).

I guess it could be a system app with right permissions; never tried it. I made a new build with a more frequent update manifest (it was set to a day but I found Android was seeing it as an uber-idle process at times and closing it). It's not perfect yet though; again it's my first widget. I need to make it run as an alarmmanager app because if Android sees fit to close the Widget, it changed the Widget's ID which is what breaks the "touch it and it works" after a bit sometimes.

Here's a 1.2 of it though with the better update time and a few tweaks here and there. Next goal is to alarmmanager this thing, but honestly it's working really well here.

If you find it not responding to your touch after a bit, you have to remove it from your homescreen and re-add it. This is -- again -- due to Android killing it and therefore changing the widget ID that is probed when you touch it.

Thanks for your feedback and support on it.

Actually I do wonder why I didn't have to set permissions to this; nothing said it needed any which I thought was odd. Which ones do I need to set and I'll throw them in the manifest but yeah go ahead and use it. we're talking the initial release being 7 hours of coding on the side during a normal work day.

This is what I set the permissions to.

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" ></uses-permission>
	<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"></uses-permission>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.COPY_PROTECTED_DATA" />

Doing a problem with the Widget being killed or closed, the RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED is the one that stopped it from Force-Closing at boot, plus it raises the priority of the app as well.

Before Enzomatrx made his widget i bought chadz from the op. It's working fine.

Thanks! I'll just throw those in. Helps to have them since ya know.. widget.

Permissions added, thank you again.

Which of the kernels would I use over bobz 9.1 and would I have to flash any other patches? The CAI download post is so huge lol

why not ask bobz to include it in his kernel? He's smarter than I and could easily include it.
I just wanted to get a new tweak on our phones out of pure jealousy that other phones had neat tweaks like this. I created a toggle widget in Tasker app factory but never generated the apk- short attention span and all
