Thanks for this great tool! It would be good to include somewhere in the initial posting recommendations about how to ideally use this very nice tool. From what I understand it is best to keep the state of charge as much as possible between 60 and 80%. Thus it is not wise to use something like 20% as a lower threshold.

My phone (Xperia Xa2) has plenty of battery capacity, so I actually stop charging at 80% and still have more than 50% change left at the end of the day. If I would charge normally to 100%, the battery would be over 90% for something like 20 hours each day, which would be very bad.

What I am wondering: is it a good idea to keep this enabled all the time? Can this e. g. hurt the estimation of the state of charge? If yes, how do we effectively prevent this? Is it sufficient to charge the battery e. g. once per month to 100%? And/or should we reset the battery statistics from time to time as well? What does that actually do?

This mod is very useful, Thanks for your effort.
I want to report a problem, when the blex daemon is running I can't use my type-c headset. I use latest 0.3 blex and my device is Oneplus 6T with silver bullet v2 headset.

Hey @JayminSuthar Certainly not asking for a release time, but your Github you linked earlier in the thread for ACControl goes no where. Are you still working on it? I was interested in following development.
https://github.com/sjayminsgithub/Advanced-Charging-Control

Blex works fine on my OnePlus 6t using OOS 9.0.7, I haven't checked for wakelocks as some have mentioned yet though. Very interested in ACControl if you're still working on it.

I did search around before i asked and found the forum: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-magic-charging-switch-cs-v2017-9-t3668427
As well as the download in the magisk manager, but that thread was started in Sept of 2017, where as this one was Jan 2018. Also it says VR25 is the dev for the thread listed above. Is Jay running under two different names?

I didn't think it was the same project, but maybe it is?

From what I understood ACC was made from both devs. VR25 made Mcs and Jay the Blex and when Jay started speaking about ACC project was the same time that VR25 changed the name of his mod (Mcs to ACC). Jay stopped with Blex and the renamed VR25's mod came with new functions and supports. What I believe is that Acc was developed by both devs and now Jay have only time for his studying. Like I said that's what I can understand , maybe I'm wrong.

Development has definitely not been stopped on ACControl, it's just that I had to rework the project in a manner that will probably be hard to track for public (as it was distributed in so many small commits that weren't as meaningful as needed to be), so I made the repository private and reinited git.

I will surely make the repo public again when I think it's good enough and does not expose my bad habits.

acc by @VR25 and me are not the same, @VR25 renamed his project MCS to ACC sometimes around when I announced ACControl, so the confusion begins. I will think of a different name to distinguish these both. Meanwhile, note that his acc is shell script based while mine is completely native (excluding boot script).

I and VR25 used to be collaborators back when MCS was called just CS, then we split due to our coding habits and I developed my own MCC which was reworked as blex and now I'm working to porting blex to "C" language. I am, in no way, associated with ACC developed by VR25 (other than using his control files database in ACControl).

I'm on blex 0.3,magisk 17.1, oneplus 6t stock rom (android 9). I have blex set to stop charging when charge hits 85% and resume charging at 77%. If I am plugged into my car and hit 85% android auto will stop working. It won't work unless I restart the phone. Disabling blex eliminates this problem, of course. Is this expected behavior for blex? Any workaround besides toggling blex off when using android auto?

Hello guys, I have made quite a significant progress on ACSwitch, the project to replace blex, and it's currently undergoing C/C++ migration. Meanwhile, as I have been using @VR25's control files database in my project, the richer the databse the more devices it supports, so please guys, upload logs generated by acc to [https://www.dropbox.com/request/WYVDyCc0GkKQ8U5mLNlH/]this site[/url]

## Introduction

* blex helps in extending/maintaining lithium batteries' life
  by controlling when charging is enabled or disabled.

## Details

* blex is a tool that lets you enable or disable charging in
  programmatic manner so to extend/maintain batteries' life,
  it is reliable and also fully automated.

* Automation provided includes two features which are 'Auto
  Switch' and 'Auto Power'. Auto Switch is a feature which
  disables charging when a disable threshold has been hit and
  enables charging back as soon as the battery level hits an
  enable threshold, whereas Auto Power is a feature which'll
  power the device OFF as soon as level has reached a power
  threshold.

* The purpose behind Auto Switch is to make the battery lie
  inside our specified limits so that a constant charge cycle
  can be maintained that's a basic requirement when you wish
  to extend the batteries' life. It helps to increase maximum
  charge cycles the battery can have and that without losing
  anything.

* And the purpose behind Auto Power is to never let the cells
  lose voltages too low that it might harm bring the battery
  back to the life. This helps to prevent some weirdities like
  unexpected battery levels shown.

* blex also provides you to enable/disable charging manually
  on demand, and that introduces manual methods. You can use
  manual methods to fulfill the need based on either level or
  time, refer to the 'CUI' section for more.

* The 'CUI' section provides details on each flag and option
  that you can use to setup Automation, configure blex, launch
  the daemon, reset battery statistics and more...

## Requirements

* A modern arm-based chipset.
* Basic terminal knowledge.
* (if Magisk install...) Magisk 14.6+.
* (...or else) Any root solution,
* (...or else) Init.d support.

## Installation

* blex supports both the Magisk systemless install and the
  standard /system modifying install, just make sure all the
  requirements are met for that specific install mode and do
  flash the zip from either custom recovery or Magisk Manager
  and blex will detect install mode and install accordingly.

* NOTE: Modifying /system might make your device unbootable.
* NOTE: If Magisk is detected, you can't do standard install.
* NOTE: If Magisk is older than required, it'll automatically
  install in standard /system modifying mode.

## Setup

* After installing, blex requires you to configure itself by
  running 'blex --configure', if you don't do that, blex will
  be of no use to you. This step is required only once after
  installing/upgrading.

* I also recommend you to toggle ON/OFF Automation features
  and set their thresholds to your needs for a set-and-forget
  concept.

* NOTE: Enforcing thresholds outside blex' recommended limits
  is against the purpose of extending batteries' life and thus
  is strongly discouraged. That flag is included just for some
  users who wish to use blex to control charging rather than
  to extend/maintain batteries' life.

## Usage

* blex provides a nice, user-friendly and easy to use CUI to
  the user. This CUI can be used to configure or setup blex or
  to run a manual method, etc... All you need is a terminal
  emulator (like Termux). So, in steps...

* ...launch the terminal,
* write 'su' to have a root shell,
* and call blex by running 'blex [flags] [options] args'.

* NOTE: If you have multiple blex processes running, they may
  interfere with each other, please avoid such conditions.
* NOTE: Most things in CUI are checked and defaulted to some
  action if an argument is not provided.

## CUI

* Flags

    [--detach]

    Detach from the terminal and run as a background process.

    [--skip-logs]

    Skip dumping logs to the logfile (to improve performance).

    [--enforce]

    Enforce any value between 1-99 as a valid threshold and
    do not perform mathematics on arguments given.

    NOTE: Flags must be in order [--detach] > [--skip-logs] > [--enforce]
    or else blex will misinterpret them as options.

* Options

    [--update] [switch/power] [disable/power] [enable]

    Update Automation thresholds. The feature that provides
    the thresholds is the first argument and new values of
    thresholds are arguments following that.

    If the feature is Auto Power, second argument is power
    threshold, and if the feature is Auto Switch, second and
    third arguments are disable and enable thresholds as in
    order.

    If enable threshold is not given, it will figure that out,
    and if no threshold is given, it'll revert thresholds of
    the feature to their defaults, and finally, if the feature
    is not given, it will revert every threshold.

    [--toggle] [switch/power] [ON/OFF]

    Toggle Automation feature ON or OFF. The feature to toggle
    is the first argument and the state to toggle to is the
    second.

    If state is not given, it'll invert the feature state like
    ON -> OFF and vice versa, and if the feature is not given,
    both features will be reverted to their default state.

    [--manual] [enable/disable/stop] [level/time]

    Enable or disable charging, or stop every manual method
    running. The action to perform is the first argument and
    the format string for the action (if not stop) is second
    argument.

    If the action is stop, it will stop every manual method
    currently running, and if enable or disable, then charging
    state will be {action}d based on the format specified by
    the format string.

    The format string will be '{level}%' if {action}ing until
    the 'level' is hit, or '{time}s', '{time}m' or '{time}h'
    to {action} charging until 'time' seconds, 'time' minutes
    or 'time' hours have passed respectively.

    [--mkdaemon] [start/stop]

    Start or stop the blex daemon manually. It will start or
    stop the daemon as per the first argument.

    If an argument is not given, it will start the daemon.

    [--configure]

    Configure blex' kernel communication interface.

    [--restat]

    Reset battery statistics on demand. Useful in recalibraing
    the battery, should only be used once a month.

    [--info]

    Print information about current battery state, settings of
    blex and whether the daemon is running or not.

    [--help]

    Print this HELP page and exit.

## Examples

* blex --enforce --update switch 99
* blex --detach --manual disable 1%
* blex --skip-logs --configure

* blex --update switch 80 60
* blex --update switch 85
* blex --update power 15
* blex --update switch
* blex --update
* blex --toggle switch ON
* blex --toggle power OFF
* blex --toggle switch
* blex --toggle
* blex --manual enable 1h
* blex --manual disable 30m
* blex --manual enable 90%
* blex --mkdaemon start
* blex --mkdaemon stop
* blex --mkdaemon
* blex --configure
* blex --restat
* blex --info
* blex --help

## Support

* ISSUE: Device spontaneously reboots while configuring.
* SOLUTION: Configure blex again after the device rebooted.

* ISSUE: blex stops working after flashing some kernel.
* SOLUTION: Reconfigure blex using 'blex --configure'.

* NOTE: Resetting batterystats might not work for all devices.

* If you experience any issue while installing, please share
  about that in either the 'Support Thread' (see 'Links') or
  'Telegram Group' (again, 'Links') and remember to attach
  the '/dev/blex_install.log' logfile.

* If you experience any issue with the daemon or CUI, write
  about that in the thread or group and please attach logfiles
  placed in the folder '/sbin/.core/img/blex/log' if Magisk
  install, or in '/data/adb/blex/log' for standard install.

* All the bug reports should be widely described and must have
  required (and relevant) logs.

* If you're a developer willing to contribute, please do so
  by creating PRs at my personal GitHub fork of blex.

* I'm a college first-year student who does it all as a hobby
  to help others, so if I helped you, kindly use the 'Thanks'
  button on the XDA Support Thread.

##### Redefined 1.0.MR

##### Redefined 1.0

* Initial redefined release.

##### 2.0.MR

* Hello people, This build is a fix for when a [-s/--switch]
   call doesn't act like it should. Actually, the code while
   having the down threshold and the code for when not, were
   placed alternatively. So if you run... say 'mcc -s 85 70'
   it would run as the '70' was not given and as mcc I wrote
   to be intelligent, it would set 85 and ' 85 - 10 = 75'.

##### 2.0

* This version is re-written from scratch, so please perform
  a CLEAN INSTALLATION.

##### 1.5.1.MR

* Hi users,
* This build is to fix two major bugs which I identified just
  now. First is the well-known, conflict of the mcc Installer
  and the mcc daemon, and the second is the daemon misbehaves
  if refs are not set or the lock file is created. Both of em
  have been fixed. While the first prevents mccs installtion,
  the second causes unwanted reboots for cases while the user
  has misused the lock file feature or have modified the conf
  file. After this fixations, I can proudly say that mcc does
  not have no bugs now...
* Another thing is that mcc now patches the Main before Magic
  mounting has happened, so in theory, there will not be need
  to make any modifications if Magisk changes its mount point
  again, just enjoy!!! Regarding boot scripts, they log their
  errors now too as well as commands executed.
* And also while some advanced users did directly run the mcc
  daemon, I have also prevented the daemon from running, only
  mcc internals can fork it, and that should be when required
  by mcc. This blocking also helps the initial daemon call on
  the boot a great algorithmic space, so is great.

##### 1.5

* Hi users,
* The final build by me is here, as I will be prepping for my
  college admissions. If someone is willing to develop it, PM
  me at XDA or open an issue at GitHub and I'd give you write
  access to the Repo.
* This build is nothing other than previous build, but having
  fixed the Magisk mountpoint, BusyBox setup, and other minor
  issues.
* A quick tip: If Magisk changes its mountpoint again, simply
  edit LINE 45 in /system/{x,}bin/mcc, NOTHING else.
* Quick tip 2: All the core logic is documented, nothing else
  is there, I think logic builds program, not coding skills.
* Wish me luck and Goodbye.....

##### 1.4.3

* Hi users,
* A small + sensitive release is here, which is aimed on some
  minor code errors, and a better way of eliminating failures
  due to interference with the daemon.
* All the bugs fixed are reported by users at XDA, and I will
  not detail them here, but "Please toggle auto switch OFF if
  compatibility check fails upgrading".
* What I am gonna detail is a new feature of the daemon. From
  this version on, mcc daemon can be paused with a lock file.
  Users, or anyone else, can create the file CACHE_DIR/lock_d
  and the daemon will go sleep until it exists. This is to be
  used by Installer, but not limited. So changelog reads...
* ...Fix 'Permission denied' while running mcc
* ...Fix daemon not launching for some devices
* ...Fix bad compatibility check failures
* ...Bring back initial 120 seconds delay
* ...Add a lock file to pause the daemon

##### 1.4.2

* Hi users,
* This is another lil bug fix release, which is to fix a very
  serious bug, which makes auto switch non-functional, thanks
  to @pat357 for pointing the buggy thing out and providing a
  quick fix

##### 1.4.1.MR

* Workaround Magisk bundled BusyBox missing poweroff applet

##### 1.4.1

* Hi users,
* This is a small bug fix release, which is aimed to fix some
  little, but very serious bugs, so changelog reads as
* --> Fix mod_dir not being set by the service
  --> Fix unwanted reboots while installing
  --> Fix installations for Pixel 2 XL
  --> Fix switch not being written
* And the last twos are thankfull contributions from @chuckr2

##### 1.4

* Hi users,
* As always it calls for an apology that you all had to manually
  set references even after succeeding the compatibility check from the
  mcc Installer, it was a misspelled variable in the Installer, which
  has now been fixed, for which I want to thank @pat357 for his pull
  request
* Another critical bug was false positive compatibility successions, this
  bug appears when the device did not even have a recognized battery
  device / module, and so much funnier, the reason was just a single
  misplaced variable, that was used to detect if the check succeeded,
  this bug has also been fixed
* @RSDamasceno at XDA reported having soft reboots and device warm-ups
  with mcc, which I suspect a bug with kernel not handling switch writes
  correctly, but as mcc is entirely written in Shell, I have added some
  code that will detect the current switch status and write to it only if
  the status is different, so the issue is supposed to be fixed
* It fixes another issue when the user has given an invalid argument for
  manually enabling charging, issue appeared something like, mcc will
  first disable charging, then abort due to unrecognized argument, so
  charging will be disabled as opposed to be enabled, which has also
  been fixed
* With any older mcc build, the first execution of command always took
  some seconds, some people reported 2, some 5 and some even 8 seconds,
  which happened due to mcc's Magisk mount point finding and BusyBox
  setup, which I implemented just to make sure mcc can work with all the
  present and possibly any future Magisk version, but the logic has now
  been shifted to service, which on boot, will do it all once for the
  entire boot session
* The boot daemon launcher will now attempt 5 times to launch the daemon,
  which whether succeeded / failed will be logged in Magisk logs, so
  that users can check if the daemon was launched at boot time
* And now as Android P DP1 is out, which removes make_ext4fs, I have put
  a fallback for that to mke2fs, just as same with Magisk
* Also all the strings in the Installer and the Main have been re-written
  and some faulty code has been cleaned up and organized as always
* So, the complete changelog is
  --> Fix the Installer not setting references by @pat357
  --> Fix false positives with compatibility check
  --> Fix a bug with with kernels not handling switch changes correctly
  --> Fix a bug with manually enabling charging
  --> Fix image creation for Android P DP1
  --> Fast as hell first time execution
  --> A better boot daemon launcher
  --> Re-write all the strings
  --> Cleanup some code

##### 1.3

* Hi users,
* Firstly, I'm sorry for the sucking 'No references set' bug,
  I forgot to split out the switch file which resulted in as an
  unrecognized switch by mcc, So, whenever mcc was ran, it did not
  detect switches and so the bug happened, this bug has been  fixed now
* And now, so mcc provides manual run option, and which takes time as an
  argument, for which, mcc will fork a session which will keep sleeping
  for the given time, and mcc will check for that process every second,
  but it gave false positives when another shell process was also sleeping
  for the same time as mcc ( child ) did, that bug has also been fixed
* I also recently intoduced a new feature said 'Revert Magic Mount'
  live from booted Android, but I realized that with A / B devices,
  it is completely different, which made it unusable for such devices,
  but now, the feature is working completely on A / B devices now, for which
  mcc requires Magisk >= 1410 from now ( would not matter for most users )
* I have also put in a hell lot of efforts in making mcc rock stable,
  I started from the top of every single component and kept analyzing, and
  analyzing, and analyzing, and analyzing, and analyzing, and analyzing,
  and Finally, I'm glad to declare most unless all bugs are flushed out
* I also have effingly strived harder to workaround many non-mcc flaws which I found
* So, the complete changelog is
  --> Fix the 'No references set' bug
  --> Fix false positives for time-based run
  --> Fix 'Revert Magic Mount' for A / B devices
  --> Re-analyze and re-write the entire project
  --> Workaround many non-mcc flaws
  --> Require Magisk >= 1410

##### 1.2.4

* Fix compatibility check ( Installer / mcc ) for some devices
  --> add support for some weird devices I saw ( mostly Honor )
* Fix some faulty BusyBox setup code
* Fix image sizes for resizing
  --> mcc never shrinks them, so expand only to needs
* Fix regression opened by @pat357
* Free Magisk daemon child after mcc daemon is launched
* Abort installation for Magisk < 1400
* Update README ( and indirectly [ --help ] )

##### 1.2.2

* Fix daemon not being launched at boot ( was my bad )
* Fix some faulty image resizing code in mcc Installer
* Fix unwanted power-offs for when no references are set
* Fix regression opened by @pat357
  --> show daemon status ( runnning or what ) in [ --info ]
* Add perms handling for non Stock / near Stock kernels
* Increase checking intervals from 10ms to 100ms
  --> which is likely to fix some compatibility check failures
* Add double checking for uevent file
  --> which is likely to fix some compatibility issues
* Flash again to uninstall feature now performs a complete uninstall
  --> 1) remove files 2) kill mcc processes and 3) revert Magic Mount
  --> it will revert Magic Mount live from booted Android!!!
  --> the last one is available only for Magisk >= 1410,
      as topjohnwu has changed the Magic Mount algorithms many times

##### 1.2.1

* All previous versions are considered incompatible

* Fix installations for Magisk Manager 5.6.0+
* Fix some faulty busybox setup code
* Correct some terminology ( see 'Arguments can be' )
* Improve the [ --re-daemon ] option
* Change defaults to 80 70 ( it be optimal )
* Rewrite README ( which directly means [ --help ] )
* Add messages to UI for some tasks
* Reduce checking intervals to 10ms
* Reduce max switches to two from four
* Add error handling for new code
* Port commit from Magisk to mcc Installer
  --> 'Round sizes to nearest integer', also repair image first if found
* Put errors to a separate logfile
* Rebase some tests on common observations
* Remove and re-write some pieces of code
* For developers
  --> Revert the source mcc feature, to keep the code clean

    Announcement

    Hi my dear users,
    I'm happy to tell you all that I'm back in development. Although I may not have time at daytime, there is still some spare time for me in the night. I really like the fact that my work has been much appreciated, and really would not wish to disappoint mcc users. So, I thought I must be back in development, and here I come.

    Development update!

    Hello guys,

    I am aware of some bugs like the 'internal error', etc... All bugs are fixed (huge thanks to @ToXiTe) in my local copy and also the beta branch of the GitHub Repo. It's just that, I am currently taking a little effort to redefine (again) it to have a modular designation, so that further updates to the project can be easily implemented without any refactor, redefine, etc... And yeah, I'm in the college 1st year, so currently running busy over excitement for the fresher's party :cowboy:. So, it might be late, but it surely will make to the official repo once I'm done all the testing (and @ToXiTe has been a great help for me). I recommend using an older version until the newer build is released, I hope y'all understand.

    Best regards,
    Jaymin.

    EDIT: I just rewrote a minor portion of blex (Name changed: Battery Life Extender (blex)). It was fun how I could implement a modular interface just to ease out the pain of merging. I'm really happy at what state is the project right now, and all because of your support! Thank you, guys :)
