[app] Turbo toast [A solution of Motorola Turbo charger Toast for custom ROM]

[fgl27]

I made a very simple app with the intention of toast if the Motorola Turbo charger is connected a featuring that is available on stock ROM, with this app can be used on any custom ROM.


Mirror Download Click here or use below XDA labs apps

The app have two toast, they come enable by default.
* Display a toast message "Turbo Charger Connected" if Motorola Turbo Charger is connected and recognized by the system as the Turbo charger
* Display a toast message "Charge xx%" with the current battery percentage value when the charger is unplugged



The app doesn't need to be running to toast, any of the toast can be disable.

How it works:
Only If the charger is connected/disconnected the OS will call the app then...
* If is a connection and the charger is recognized as Turbo a Toast mensagem "Turbo Charger Connected" will be display
* If is a disconnection a Toast mensagem "Charge xx%" will be display this doesn't depends if the charger is turbo or not it will be display every time when a disconnection is received.
* The app work depends of files that are on the root of the device the app only read the files there is no modifications, but for that read is need ROOT access so the app comes root enable by default, the user can if wanna turn Root option off but the app toast may not work properly. In the app start it will tell you if Root is working and warn about the need if you disable.

BTW
I know original toast is TurboPower connected but I prefer the one I choose.

This was tested on Motorola Moto Maxx (Turbo or Droid Turbo), must work on other Motorola devices that have the featuring

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Supported Chargers?
Any Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0* charger re branded by Motorola as "Turbo Charger"
*Probably supported Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 untested

Supported Devices?
Any Device that have supported for the Supported chargers.
Device confirmed that works:
Moto Maxx(a.k.a Moto Turbo, Droid Turbo)

I plug the Charger there is no Toast?
If you are using a supported device/charger and there is no Toast check:
The USB cable can make a difference, use original (or high quality USB cables)
Charger may be damage try a different one
Use the "Do a Toast Test Check the output if that is not displaying "Turbo" at the end when you click, there will be no automatic "Turbo" toast when the charger is connected

What are the possible output of Do a Toast Test?

The kernel is configured to display the below flags when a charger is connected:
"None" (no charger connected)
"null" (This case the app need ROOT access if you give it ROOT access is very unlikely but may be or selinux blocking the app if you can try to disable that or yours Kernel output the flag in a path that the app is not configured to read this case try the developer on XDA thread)
"Normal" (Normal charger or PC charging)
"Weak" (damaged charger and or cable)
"Turbo" (Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 charger or Motorola "Turbo" Charger)
If when click on "Do a Toast Test" you get a different output print the screen and and mention @baybutcher27

TurboToast app works on ALL QuickCharge 2.0 chargers

I made a very simple app with the intention of toast if the Motorola Turbo charger is connected a featuring that is available on stock ROM, with this app can be used on any custom ROM.

This was tested on Motorola Moto Maxx (Turbo or Droid Turbo), must work on other Motorola devices that have the featuring

Hey @baybutcher27, great app. I don't know if it works on other Motorola device, but it does work on all other Qualcomm QuickCharge. 20 chargers!

May I suggest slight change in wording in the app description?

I just tested on FOUR DIFFERENT Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 chargers -- the Motorola "Turbo" charger that came with my XT1225 phone as well as three completely different brands of Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 chargers I ordered from Amazon (including my dual port car charger). This app works on all. :good:

Right now, your app description seems limited to only Motorola Turbo chargers, but your app actually works on ALL Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 chargers.

Motorola is just using Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 standard and calling it "Turbo Charging". (We've all known that for two years, it's not news.) Motorola just branded their use of Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 as "Turbo Charging". Samsung and others also enable QuickCharge 2.0 charging on their phone and many 3rd party manufacturers make Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 chargers. I have several other Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 chargers!

A Motorola-branded "Turbo" chager for the Quark phone is just a Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 charger made by Motorola.

The wording change I would recommend in the app description is that it works on ALL Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 chargers, not just the Motorola branded chargers.
NOTE: This app may also work on the new Qualcomm QuickCharge 3.0 charges (since they are backwards compatible), but I do not have any to test.

Also, in testing your app, I also found high quality USB cables make a difference. I have many different USB cables around the house. Those that came with my phone and many others for various devices. On one Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 charger, when I plugged in my phone at first it did NOT give the Turbo toast -- which puzzled me. I then swapped out that USB cable for a high-quality USB cable (MediaBridge brand) and YES! There it was -- Turbo charging toast. That might be something else you would wish to add to the description? Don't want people to blame you for the app not working, when really it's their low quality USB cable!

Besides the Motorola chargers that came with my phone, these are the other Qualcomm QuickCharge 2.0 chargers I test this app on:

For those interested in the MediaBridge USB cables, here you go... I actually just went back and wrote an Amazon 5-star review of these cables due to testing with this app.

Here's 6ft at Amazon. Also other lengths are available.

For my car charger, I use this since it's coiled and can stretch to what I need:

@baybutcher27, I'm really glad you made this when you did. It helped me realize that my charge cable is dying. Replacements have been ordered

I did a major up on the app...

Releasing a test version.

This is not final as I did not make any translation, I plane to translate to pt-BR.

The app now is a ROOT app, I notice after testing on other device that is only works if selinux is off, but if it has ROOT privilege it works ok with selinux on, so I included root tools, and make root enable by default but the user can disable and run the app without root but it may not show a correct toast...

the looks is a lot improve as I enable and take the time to config materialized style.

made a faq section and a about one...

even with all that the app is very simple only 40kB in size and works perfect...

have fun if any one have any input let me know...

:good:

-deleted, wrong thread-

 

[ChazzMatt]

Sweep2W still seems to be getting turned off occasionally for no discernable reason.

And you think this Quick Charge 2.0 notification app is somehow responsible?

Please tell us how being notified what type of charger you are using has connection to Sweep2W feature?

 

[immadeofpixels27]

And you think this app is somehow responsible?

Oops, wrong thread. Sorry

 

[newbe1droidx]

Worked great for me, thanks

 

[fgl27]

I up a new version of the APP

I found a odd behavior of android, don't know if is all androids ROM but on CM base right after boot/reboot the OS will send a ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED (even if there is no disconnection of the charger) as the app uses it to toast the final charge the app will toast that and because the OS is just starting there may be a odd toast as things are just loading.

So fix the app code to not care for that one call after boot + I fix some description in the app + some general code improve.

Download V1.0.3

If you wanna, I will be pleased...

the thing to change is the inside of >in red<

example

<string name="battery_turbo_toast">[COLOR="Red"]Turbo Charger Toast[/COLOR]</string>

translate it becomes

<string name="battery_turbo_toast">[COLOR="Red"]Mensagem Toast Carregador Turbo[/COLOR]</string>

* app name doesn't need translate...

<string name="app_name">TurboToast</string>

there is special characters like
\u0022
\n
\'

I believed that \' for example in the word "don't" is not need in any word in Spanish, so where that is present can be removed, but the other two are need example

\u0022[COLOR="Red"]Charge[/COLOR] %\u0022

becomes

\u0022[COLOR="Red"]Carregou[/COLOR] %\u0022

in:

[COLOR="Red"]<string name="faq_do_a_toast_summary">[/COLOR]

the words... None, null, Normal, Weak, and turbo can't be translate as this is what comes from the kernel and kernel is all in US it only outputs this words...
pt-rBR as a example the languages have common uses...

:good:
