Advanced Charging Controller (acc)

[VR25]

Correct. That is the default behavior of all power banks, AFAIK. The issue is the power bank stopping when the gadget is fully charged, requiring either an "unplug & replug" or a press of the power button to resume charging.

By the way, for time being, I think I found a workaround to keep the power bank active. I set max current to 500 mA, and max voltage to 3900 mV. Although the profile is 5/85/90 (off/resume/pause), the phone's battery has been showing 77% and charging for the past few hours. It does show as "full" under battery settings and "charged" on lock screen, but as long as I don't have to go and press that button, I'm good with it until some good soul suggests a better way.

After seeing which voltage control files stop charging (acc -t), you can set one (acc -ss) and see if it keeps the power bank active.
Any switch that supports idle mode for that matter, should keep the power bank active.

I've been playing around with ACC on Taimen and Marlin. I absolutely love what you have blessed us with, here. What a fantastic suite you created.

I am looking forward to using ACC on my daily driver, Raven!

One thing I have noticed is sometimes things act unexpectedly, and I notice the daemon is not running. Couldn't find anything on exitCode=143 specific to ACC. Any idea?

taimen:/ # acc -l tail

0: cat battery/capacity
45: t 82 -ge 85
338: test 82 -ge 85
217: '[' -n '' ']'
269: cooldown=false
270: sleep 5
270: exxit
87: exitCode=143
88: false
88: set +eux

143 is a standard exit code on many systems.
It refers to SIGTERM (graceful termination request signal).
A process from your system is sending this request to acc daemon.
Try to figure out what would be doing this and why. Also, ensure you're running the latest release.

Notice

At this point, acc is so high in the compatibility department that if charging does not stop, 9/10 times, it's a kernel fault.
Firmware updates and security patches often break kernels.
Prior to reporting that acc does not work, try different kernel builds/types - and see if the output of acc -p contains new charging switches

Hi @VR25. I'm using POCO X3 Pro, which charging switch I can use? Are you have any suggestion?

If you don't set a switch, acc will use whatever works.
If you still want to manually pick a switch, run acc -t to see which switches work – and acc -ss to set one.
I can't recommend any switch in particular, since I don't know much about this device.

It's a Xiaomi device.
One more thing, what is battIdleMode? It's not work on my phone.

ACC keeps stoping for me. "ACC Daemon is Not Running"

373: echo 0

87: exitCode=1
88: false

I'm using a Pixel 6 Device with ProtonAOSP and the latest realse of ACC*. Is there a way to fix it?

*Default Settings btw.

Each model often has unique characteristics.
battIdleMode (or battery strandby mode) is a feature that allows a device to prioritize drawing power from the external power supply - so that the battery does not get used as much, if at all.
This requires kernel support, but there are workarounds. For details, refer to readme > tips > idle mode and alternatives.

Hm, looks like an issue I fixed a while ago.
What's the output of acc -v?

v2022.1.8 (202201080)

Pixel 2/Android 11. Using AccA, but I am looking at what's been set in Acc by it.

The phone is charged over the pause_capacity sometimes because it is sometimes charged whilst shut down.

However prioritize_batt_idle_mode=false, yet (once booted) the phone seems to be stuck in a battery idle mode rather than allowing the battery to slowly discharge to 'safer levels' around the pause and resume capacity levels. So the battery remains at its higher state of charge, neither being charged nor allowed to discharge.

Is this expected behaviour, and is there a parameter I can set to allow the phone to discharge and be maintained (ideally in an idle mode) between the pause and resume capacity levels? Of course I can manually disconnect power for a while, but would like this to be automatic...

It seems that latest update breaks acc.
Pixel 6, previously works well.
Now charging limit works only with 18w PD brick but the 65w


:/ $ su

Using 100w charger just fine. Which switch you're using and what's configuration

 

[Darth Bidder]

I want to enable apply_on boot and applyonplug on AccA but I don't know what to put there to enable them. I looked at the instructions but I still don't understand what to do.

I wanted to enable both because when I restart my phone while chargng, it just maxes out at 65% even though I have it set to pause at 80%.

 

[chape199]

Hello ive just installed this module and im trying to understand everything (already readed github readme a few times).

What switch do you guys recommend me?

Use AccA application with friendly UI to ease the pain

Ok thanks, what does it means that has the flag battidlemode=true? That feature is not supported by my current kernel.

Also is there any difference with the other switch? Im still trying to understand switches

I am already using the app version. But I don't know what to type on the text box to enable it. Do I just type "--exit" for apply_on_boot? It's blank by default which means disabled.

The example for apply_on_plug is about the "wireless/voltage_max that forces fast charging on Pixel devices which confuses me. Is apply_on_plug only for Pixel devices?
