Get a fast charge app from the play store.
Here's a how to to get fast charge working. I got this with trial and error. The apps I use to monitor this are my suggestions so try others as you like.
This is for 4Aces v29.
1. Download Fast Charge app by Mathew Winters. To toggle the fast charge you MAY need to donate $1.00. I did and it works.
2. Download CurrentWidget.
IN BOTH CASES, you need to drag the WIDGET from the widget section, and just delete the 'shortcut' that is initially installed by the apps. In case of Fast Charge widget drag the one with the FULL one with the battery stats and the On/Off button in on the same widget. Drag the current widget (with the white box) also.
3. Connect your stock USB cable to phone AND computer USB port (I use this to really see if fast charge pulls the extra current).
4. Now reboot the PHONE ONLY, with the cable still connected. This is necessary for the kernel to 'sense' fast charge. For me, forcing fast charge in 'settings' (if your ROm has one) did not work, until the cable-reboot thing was done.
5. Wait till the widgets are completely loaded. The Fast Charge app will show OFF and USB and Charging.
6. The Currentwidget will show 5000 or so. Divide by 10, or = 500 mA. This is 0.5 A input.
7. Before turning fast charge on, remove the cable from the PHONE only. The Fast app should show 'battery' and 'discharging'.
8. Turn Fast Charge ON.
9. Reconnect cable to phone.
10. Widget will now show 'AC' and 'charging' and brown battery changes to lightinign bolt.
11. Current widget should now show 9000 or so. Anything above 8000 is good.
Rinse and repeat !!!!!!!!! As an example, I use this with my car usb charger (capable of 1 A, but never did it before !!!) and with GPS / Copilot on and screen on full bright, over 45 mins % batt went from 45% to 57% !!!
NOTE: In fast charge mode USB FILE TRANSFER WILL NOT WORK. USB storage is disabled, because data mode is off. To turn on USB storage, turn off fast charge, disconnect cables and reboot phone. Then with fast charge off reconnect phone.
As long as you do not reboot fast charge can be toggled on/off at will.
Good luck !!!
