What's good Droid Inc users? I've been working on a charging mod for the Evo that is showing excellent results and seems to prevent the quick drop a lot of android phones get right off the charger from overnight charging. This is just a test kernel btw. Invisiblek added the tweak twice, but the Incredible charging voltages were exceeding that limit, so to save him some time, I've compiled a kernel from his souce and I will be using this thread for testing and once we get it 100%, I'll send him the final code and then he can put it in his kernel.
I would test this out myself but I do not have an Incredible. But this should work for the Incredible because the Incredible and Evo share the same battery drivers. The only thing that needs to be fixed now is voltage limitations. The Incredible can reach higher charging voltages than the Evo. Once we find the right limit for everyone, we'll be all good and your battery life should increase by 1-2 hours (some people have been able to go 6 hours just on the first 10%).
Features:
-Trickle Charging
-Charges extended batteries (and stock batteries) to maximum capacity.
-And everything else that you would find in his kernel
Download v1: here
Download v2: here

reserved for me x2
Any chance on a sense version of this?
cant wait to test this kernel!!!
Since this is built from his source, it should contain the multitouch patch as well, correct?

Downloading, will test on OMGB rom.
Forget charging, what about overheating? Lol the charging is cool though, I'll probably try it out.

excuse my ignorance, but what is the multituouch ?

It allows up to ten points to register instead of just 2.
Just flashed this kernel running CM #184 will leave it on the charger overnight and let you know how it goes
Which verion of invisiblek's kernel did you use as a base?
I think I am missing something on your github repo. As far as I can tell, the changes you made to arch/arm/mach-msm/htc_battery.c are all in spacing/formatting and not actually altering the code. Can you point me in the right direction here? I would love to try to add these changes into my kernel as well (github), but I am really not seeing the changes...
Any help would be appreciated. And thanks for the great work!
my battery was fully charged before I flashed this kernel, plugged in my charger til the green light came on again(im not bump charging), so with my battery at 97% after the unplug, ive been at 97% for the last 20 mins. Usually by now im down to 90%. As far as overheating...im running at 1.13 as all is fine...soo far so good
Quick question, do you still have to plug this into the wall outlet or can this be charged to maximum capacity through the USB cable to your computer now too? I lost my adapter for the wall so I always have to charge from my computer, which I don't mind.

Incrediblek is baked into that ROM, so I would be shocked if this modified version didn't work.

the charging aspect is great and battery drop is minimal...although, Im having issues with signal bars and 3g it goes from 0 bars w/ 3g, If i have full bars I get 1x instead of 3g...and this will alternate..im using the 2.15 radio...never been an issue before

I like where this thread is going.
Hi all !
Is someone know if a gingerbread's kernel is compatible with fastCharge ?
Ics is fun, but battery is a bit just, and I prefer a 100% functionnal rom.
So I search for a kernel with fastcharge on GB...
Thank's !
and sorry for my english ;-)
i dont think there is
I would prefer normal charge.
It is safe to assume that fast charge doesn't charge the battery properly

Unfornately no Galaxian for JW4...I want fast charge enable, in order that in car when I use my SGS as GPS battery don't drop down.

I think JVU kernel will work fine.
But I am not 100% sure.
Hope any developer can answer it!

Fast charge does charge the battery properly, fast charge is only usable when you have you phone connected to a external power source other than the main. For example you are connected to a PC but you only want to charge your phone. Fast charge foes exactly that, it turns off data transfer and allows more power to be put into the phone hence the name "fast charge". Fast does now work with the mains and does not charge faster than the mains. Hope this gave a better understanding

I have not yet seen a GB kernel that properly offers fast charge, why not upgrade to ICS, they may be ports but ICS is very stable and usable on a daily basis

some custom roms for our k3 has fast charging option..like blitz CM13 or AICP 11 and some custom kernel features this too...
what is this fast charging?? is it like Quickcharge?
shouldn't it be hardware based feature?
how fast does this feature charges our device?

Our device originally supports upto 1700mA of current. But in some kernels the charging has been modded to give more current than that. The only thing I don't understand is that they tell us to use the stock charger to get faster charging but our wall charger only provides max 1.7A.
But some people have reported getting current upto 1900mA using the stock charger only. You can test the current through Ampere from play store.
Well you can't say it is like the quick charge technology as in the snapdragon devices but it should lessen the charging time
is it harmful?? for battery? I mean...since our battery isn't designed to cope with such high rated charging....!! is it?

I dont think it is harmful and hopefully the developer of that kernel also knows what our device is capable of

More or less, you should know that you are drawing more current than what the manufacturer specified. This may cause unexpected results like overheating, degradation of battery or worse bursting of phone!
Just be safe
SThermal Tweak

Hight temperature for long period of time may harm your device, So use this when you actually in need of this. Also DO NOT use this when you use qc3 fastcharge adapter.
Features:
No Qcom External Fastcharge Adapter needed
Short Period Full charge
Efficient Heating (Not that much)
Issues:
- do post here about any issues
ps: this will not increase current flow ... (you can see in Ampere App) but still charges fast

What actually this feature do??
Do it means that if it is enable I can charge my phone overnight/for long period after battery reach 100% and this feature will help to not reduce battery life.
Thanks in advance

I have been using this feature. It charges normally till 80% and after that it stops charging. Then 1 hr prior to reaching the schedule end time it starts charging again.
This is one of the best feature of this phone.

only ROG got this feature, not sure there is any open source available around XDA forum / Google Play
my 3 years old Xperia X compact has this feature, nothing new, but very useful specially for smaller batteries that charge up fast.

I know of a guy that often recommends Magisk (or whatever that root is called), which has the ability to cut charging at a certain percent. That would be great if you wanted to leave it plugged in all the time, but it requires being rooted.
