Do you have the fast charge path? Maybe the patch didn't apply correctly. I'll rebuild it when I get home

Did you test it? I had fixed the rejects in my build too so I'm not sure what was going on with it. But if it works for you that's all that matters. Haha

Thanks for providing a widget but I personally prefer to write a script each time I get a new command :D
I then use gscript.
My idea here was to use tasker to toggle automatically when executing google nav. Usually I first set my device in holder and charger before launching it... I'll have to find a way around...
Thanks again :)

The widget should really use the circular logo u used for that app icon on market

Square sucks

Anyways, 5.4 leedroid fast charge breaks my wifi, probably the modules don't get pushed since I'm on s-on or something

Since you're s on I believe that's your problem. I am S On, using LeeDrOiD 5.4 and fastcharge 5.4 kernel having no issues!

:)

Edit: of course I mean s off :D

You have to push the wifi module separate when you're s-on. Always.

I'm working on improving the aesthetics of the widget. Its impossible to please everyone though. At some point I may allow users to pick their own icons, or choose from a couple different styles. If you have any other ideas let me know.

I think I'm going to provide three or four different backgrounds(e.g. square, round, transparent, maybe a light one) and three or four different center icons(other than the lightning bolt) and let users choose any combination of the two.

Anyone have any ideas for different center icons?

Wait a minute, unity 3b ever supported ponury?

This kernel is slightly dated old, before ponury released this app on the market

Don't bother, unity doesn't have the modules needed... Only leedroid and anryl has them

EDIT :

The kernel patch definitely works :)

same cable, same laptop, same usb
4:21PM to 4:27PM (FORCE FAST CHARGE ON), about +900MA
4:31PM to 4:41PM (FORCE FAST CHARGE OFF), about +400MA

This is with UNITY3B modified with the patch

some observations;

you have to tick the box to enable, and then reconnect the USB cable but thats acceptable, without the widget
when its ON, you cant DUAL MOUNT SD (as the entire device is no longer communicating with the laptop with USB, but just getting the full power)

Regarding ponury, my phone gets stuck at lockscreen frequently when using ponury (and ofcourse kernels that support ponury) -> pulling out battery is the only choice. Besides, battery life is also terrible! Any advice?

For those of you who are fans of the widget, here's a little teaser of what's coming soon. If anyone has any ideas for alternative center symbols please feel free to share them.

sounds great, however with the new ICS being released and new kernels, looks like we have some work 2 do to get this to work on ICS-kernels :)

looking forward nonetheless, and the widget is a plus :D

Not a lot of work at all. Should only take a few minutes to patch the kernel once the source is released. That's at least what I've seen from the vivid when they got an official update and the source was out.

Unless HTC drastically changed their base source for ics in the last month it should be pretty easy.

    This is for kernel devs only. The patch itself is useless to those who do not/can not compile their own kernel.

    This was a pretty big hit on some other devices so I figured I'd give it a shot for you gys. This allows one to force AC charging for any charger that is detected as USB (e.g. many car chargers) and pull the full current the charger can support. It also provides additional security when connecting to public charging stations because by forcing AC charging, USB/adb data transfers are disabled, protecting your data.

    It is essentially a software version of the modified charge only usb cables.

    Fast charge can be toggled by issuing:

    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

    and off:

    echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

    In addition I have created a toggle fast charge widget that may be used to toggle fast charge on and off right from your home screen:

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol.fastchargewidget

    I have also implemented a toggle in IncrediControl (free) that will allow you to turn it on and off.

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol

    For the widget (or any fast charge toggle) to work, you MUST be running a kernel that has this patch implemented.

    As a good gesture to support a fellow dev, I ask that if you implement the patch into your kernel, please link to my widget as one means to toggle it. You are of course free to provide other ways to toggle it as well if you so desire.

    Kernel devs, if you would like to test the widget yourself to confirm its working, and for convenience of testing, please contact me and I will provide you with a copy. You must show that you are a kernel dev though (i.e. link me to your kernel post so I can match your username).

    Good luck have fun!

    Thank you to those who tested for me.

    "Ponury Gesture Mod is broken"

    usually after a kernel flash, Ponury breaks

    clear data, or uninstall / reinstall.. perhaps try that ?

    bponury mentioned this already in his thread... but im not sure, im going to test now

    anyways, im flashing this thru FLASHIMAGEGUI now, and give it a run for the money :)

    Click to collapse

    No it wasn't that, I had to setup a virtual machine, download all the source code, tools etc and compile my own kernel for this,(I specifically thank Lee and chad for their help) but here it is. Leedroid kernel with fastcharge AC patch and working Ponury Gesture Mod. All credits go to respective owners ;)
