Advanced Charging Controller (acc)

[norman00037]

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?

Please include your configuration. Otherwise I cannot tell what causes your device to stop charging at 65% on reboot.
Can you screenshot the whole page like this?

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...

prioritize_batt_idle_mode=false is the default behavior. As the name implies, it controls a priority (i.e., its effect is not absolute). Besides, it has no effect when a particular charging switch is enforced (with a trailing " --"). That said, prioritize_batt_idle_mode works only when the charging switch is set to automatic (unset or non-persistent mode (no trailing " --").

When the battery level is between pause and resume, acc does nothing other than wait for the value to cross one of the thresholds. Idle mode is only enabled when charging stops (e.g., at pause capacity or on demand with acc -d).

If you want a switch that does or does not support idle mode - i.e., one that has a more consistent and predictable behavior - set it manually. acc -t will show you which switches work and which support idle mode. You can then enforce one (trailing " --" included) with acc -ss.

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%.

apply_on_boot and apply_on_plug are totally unrelated to this. I don't think you need these for charging control anyway. You can use the search function of your browser or text editor to find more information in the documentation (README file).

apply_on_boot and apply_on_plug are meant for applying miscellaneous kernel settings that may or may not be related to charging. In fact, those can even be used to tweak CPU governors, scaling frequencies, memory management, and really anything else that a kernel tweaking app does - and more.

Here's a new snapshot, especially for those who are facing major issues:

**v2022.1.23 (202201230)**
- Fixed bg-dexopt-job wrapper causing long accd stop delay;
- Fixed typos in README;
- Fixed voltage "millivolts --exit" error;
- General optimizations;
- Improved charging status logic;
- Updated unexpected reboot troubleshooting guide.

As always, if not satisfied, acc -b instantly undoes the upgrade.

So have I understood correctly that ACC doesn't currently support the behaviour I'm after automatically by a certain switch combination:

- Phone booted and ACC sees it's already over the pause threshold
- Battery discharges to pause level
- idle mode (assuming it's supported by the phone) kicks in so it maintains the pause threshold

So far, you're the only person asking for this. I never thought of implementing it.
Since acc supports plugins, I wrote one for you to achieve the desired behavior.
Simply place the attached .sh file in /data/adb/acc-data/plugins/ and restart the daemon to load the new plugin.

P.S., I recommend upgrading to the new acc version from above.

Edit: the plugin was updated.

Edit 2: the switch in config must support idle mode.

Thank you!

Hello. Anyone here with a Pixel 6 that have this working? Do I need a custom kernel?
I only have Capacity Control and Temp Control enabled but it doesn't seem to stop charging.
I'm stock, Magisk/rooted with busybox module.

Flash the latest version from Magisk.

Flash the latest version from Magisk.

Thank you! I will test this out and report back.

Edit: Seems like updating Magisk did the trick. There have been several Magisk updates for the canary build.

Just for your information: I am also using Pixel 6, with latest magisk and Kirisakura plus defeault settings Kernel battery idle mode works pretty well for me.
Plugged overnigth, It turned out that the battery lever is still at 80% and cosumes 0mA or -10 mA.

I also changed voltage to 4150mv, it also works.

/data/adb/acc-data/plugins/ does not exist on my device. Should I create that folder and put it in there or put it in the existing /data/adb/vr25/acc-data/plugins/ folder?

Oh, my bad, I gave you the wrong path!
The exiting path is the right one.

Tried using the search function, but could not manage to find anything similar, so apologies if this has been answered before.

Is there a way by which phone keeps charging for a few seconds / minutes after hitting a certain set percentage, sort of a delay.

 

[Brettroth]

After updating to 1-8 version the test shows none of my switches working for idle mode. On 12-20 version I have several working. On a op6t with mcd kernel.

Why would you want to do this?

 

[mr.inter]

Why would you want to do this?

Just out of curiosity, not an essential requirement. But mainly due to disconnecting phone from charger and immediately losing 1% since it would have immediately stopped charging upon reaching 70% for example.

 

[Lorewaifu]

is there a way to disable fast charging with this? or am I doomed to getting another charging brick? (S9 SM-G960F that may be useful)

Yeah - it drops from 70 to 69.9 I guess. So really just a product of the battery gauge only showing whole percentages? And perhaps that the battery voltage drops just because it's not being charged any more.

Yes seems like it, but for example I have Accubattery, and each time I disconnect phone it considers it as a whole 1% loss, so screen on time average is low.
