[Q] Question about AC charging for CM9

---

I've looked for this for a few days and can't find the answer I'm looking for so I figured it'd be alright to ask this:
Is the AC charging issue being worked out or can it be fixed? The Kindle still does charge, but I guess i'd just have more peace of mind if the battery charging indicator worked. So far, Hash has done a great job though

I'm assuming you're talking about 3.0 kernel based roms? The only problem I've ever had with charging is the battery indicator sometimes doesn't work. It charges fine but your stats may not reflect the fact until after a reboot. But since the #8 version came out I haven't noticed any problems other than battery animation.

Mine charges too I just would love to see the battery indicator working, but it isn't that big of a deal. My kindle seems to charge really slow though from a wall AC, but it charges really fast on a car charger so I'm not sure what's up.

I read in the dev thread that since the kernel had issues managing the extra power from the wall, it charged slowly but still charged. I'm still on #7 and use AC overnight with no problems.

Thats more of my issue is the slow charging. Which ROM do you use? I use Gederom right now. Maybe i'll try what you're using.

I'm using Reloaded. BiteBlaze seems pretty committed to it, and I respect that.

How is your battery life with reloaded? My only big gripe with gederom is the battery goes down very fast, I'm not sure if thats this ROM's issue or ICS Roms in general.

I just flashed AOKP Milestone 5 and it seems to charge much faster and it holds on to battery better. I love Gederom and once it charges faster I will probably move back to it.

I was on reloaded rom for a week until aokp milestone5 came out. Very similar in terms of stability, and aokp seems a bit better for battery management (LED works when charging too).

They both seem to have the problem of needing to do a hard shutdown rather than through the OS. Other than that, aokp is serving me well for daily use.

I'm using EnergyROM 4-29-2012 and Kernel 3.0 #8 and the charging light works fine. In sleep mode, when plugged into AC, the power button blinks orange about once a minute, and blinks green when fully charged. Charging time is normal (90 minutes from 65% to full charge), and power usage is normal when on battery. The Kindle Fire will not charge from USB.
