So I've had this phone for about a year now, loved it (other than the lack of custom ROMS but that was my own fault for not doing enough research to begin with..) Anyways, to the problem..
The phone ran completely fine for about 6 months, no issues whatsoever. Then, I cracked the screen while working (oops). I consider myself at least a bit knowledgeable when it comes to phone repair, as I have done many in the past successfully. I purchased a new screen off E-bay, and installed it. No issues other than it had a few weird spots on the screen but it was bearable so I was living with it. About a month later I started having charge port issues. I had to prop it up certain ways to get it to charge, etc etc. I looked it up and apparently many people had this problem. It was running fine still for about another month until the strangest thing happened that I've never seen before.
The batter would immediately say 100% when I first plugged it in, and after powered on, it progressively brings itself down to 0% and then dies completely. Never seen it before and couldn't find anything about it on the internet really.
I figured that it was probably just the battery crapping out on me, so I thought, if I'm going to keep this phone (can't really afford a nicer phone right now), that I may as well purchase a new charge port and battery and repair them both.
The repair went flawlessly. The charge port works again perfectly but the battery problem still remains. It still says 100% and gradually goes down to 0% and dies.
What is going on here? Any ideas? I am now trying a system restore (my phone was encrypted so I wasnt able to get into TWRP without remembering the password which I don't even remember putting on there). I did a wipe on the phone and now I am able to access TWRP just fine on my internal storage, is there anything that may be able to fix this? Assuming this is a software issue and not a hardware one? And if it is a hardware one, what could it be??
Thank you for your time!
EDIT:
I forgot to mention. About a day before the battery started doing this. I downloaded the magisk module "ACC" (Advanced charging controller), thinking it may be useful considering how weird my charge port thing was being. It completely made my phone unable to charge when plugged in. I disabled and deleted the module and it went back to the way it was before (it didn't have the weird issue of discharging constantly). The next day or 2 that's when it started discharging immediately and always says its at 100% when I first plug it in. Don't know if that's relevent or not but I figured I would add it.
