This is for kernel devs only. The patch itself is useless to those who do not/can not compile their own kernel.
I put together this patch for you guys at the request of a few different members here in the nexus S forum who had saw my patch in the gnex forum. This allows one to force AC charging for any charger that is detected as USB (e.g. many car chargers) and pull the full current the charger can support. It also provides additional security when connecting to public charging stations because by forcing AC charging, USB/adb data transfers are disabled, protecting your data.
Fast charge can be toggled by issuing:
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
and off:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
Some roms (AOKP) have also implemented toggles.
In addition I have created a toggle fast charge widget that may be used to toggle fast charge on and off right from your home screen:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incredicontrol.fastchargewidget
For the widget (or any fast charge toggle) to work, you MUST be running a kernel that has this patch implemented.
As a good gesture to support a fellow dev, I ask that if you implement the patch into your kernel, please link to my widget as one means to toggle it. You are of course free to provide other ways to toggle it as well if you so desire.
Kernel devs, if you would like to test the widget yourself to confirm its working, and for convenience of testing, please contact me and I will provide you with a copy. You must show that you are a kernel dev though (i.e. link me to your kernel post so I can match your username).
Here you go. Good luck have fun:

I reckon he compiled one for himself.
Its been brought to my attention that the AOKP toggle interferes in some way with the widget. I'm going to contact them and see what's up. I think they may be setting the permissions of the fast charge toggle in an undesirable manner.

It's not an issue on my end. It's theirs as testers had no issues with any other ROMs.
I do have an app also via will toggle, its called incredicontrol. I didn't mention it because it doesn't fully support the s. You're free to try it though. It's free in the market.

I tested this patch out on a test kernel chad sent me. I didn't test to long as wifi was broken with his kernel. Its definitely faster than regular usb charging if your USB can put out more. It takes advantage of the extra juice instead of limiting it, It all depends and what your trying to charge from. I'm just waiting for it to implemented into our kernels. So some real test can be done.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS! I'm a student, and it dreadful to charge my phone from my laptop. Here's to hoping with the patch, I can charge a bit quicker with USB.
Will this hurt our device . Or will it affect the battery in a harmful way ?

Introduction
So, basically I want people to suggest me things to review for my YouTube channel which can be found here
If you want to know what you can suggest me to review, please see the 'Content' section below. I want to really help anyone who's looking for a new ROM or theme or something like that and I'm sure many people will have the same questions.
Content
I'm accepting reviewing the following (for the Nexus 7 as that's the only good rooted device I have):
Free Apps
Free Games
New ROMS
Themes
Widgets
Mods
I will not be doing seperate kernels, sorry!
I look forward to your suggestions!

Feedback
I've noticed that all my videos have a fair amount of dislikes and I just want to know what people would like me to include in the videos and how I can make them better. I take all advice on board and I try and incorporate as much as I can!
Please give me honest feedback since unfortunately I'm not telepathic! :good:
With apps I'd say GMD gesture control, I'm currently using the free version and it's real nice. Being able to control the home screen, quick app menus, app switching, even turning off the screen with gestures is very comfortable.
Development wise, NxtGen ROM and the InterSect kernel have given me a huge improvement on battery life and performance, worth taking a look IMO.
I hope this helps

Saw all 3, very nice!! Just knowing, will you do an overview and an in-depth review or just an overview? (because it seems that you just show the thing without focusing much on it.)
Also sometimes the device is off the camera .

Yeah I realised the device was sometimes off camera but that's because it was the first time I was recording a device and with the tripod in the way it's a bit awkward. Well I just need to know what people would like me to go over in the review because I don't know what else there is to see in a custom ROM than theme and performance options.

Hello, this is just a question, I'm not bashing/hating here. I see many people running CM10.1, and the main article in the news on Android portals across the internet is the new update - CM10.1.1
I have a ROM based on CM10.1 on my Nexus S and honestly I see no much difference in comparison with the stock one I got on my N7. So, what is in your opinion, the best reason to get CM10.1.1?
Cause all the cool kids are doing it!!

The lack of options compared to AOKP keeps me away. Tablet mode and Nav/status bar transparencies are essential on the N7.
CM is more of a stockish feel with the latest security fixes and a few limited additional options and theme support.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I agree with the above. CM just does not offer enough options compared to aokp to sway me over. At the same time, high memory and high graphic games always work better for me on stock. Ergo, im a multirom junkie. Best of all worlds with a simple reboot.

Exactly. It's enhanced stock Android, but more importantly it's enhanced stock Android with the support, wide compatibility, and "whole-ness" of stock. I've convinced many a friend running TouchWiz, Sense, and even stock Android to switch to CM or a CM-based ROM.

Being that it's a smaller tablet, I don't agree that tablet mode is totally necessary. Is it nice to have? Definitely. I also wouldn't call transparencies "essential" in any sense.

The lack of either isn't a device killer, but those are 2 really nice features that I require. After running both, you wonder why they aren't stock in the first place. And I'd say that BECAUSE of the smaller tablet (7") it is EVEN MORE important to save desktop space.
Of course you could also use Extended Desktop w/ PIE controls, but the only PIE I like is Blackberry Cobbler.
Then there are people like me, I dont care CM or AOKP & what not...
Just need: speed + 110% smoothness without a stutter on all non gaming tasks + amazing batt life + USB Audio DAC support...
Also, still waiting for bit-perfect and hardware direct mode for USB Audio / DAC from kernel and music playback app developers... which probably will never come. Something like ASIO/WASAPI? Ring a bell? Guess not...
Audiophile 'minority'...meh.
Yep, people like me.

In all fairness (and much to my surprise), the Nexus 7 is the most challenging device to find organized, consolidated and relevant info for. Those of us whom count this as our first Nexus device have always been preached upon the virtue of stock/AOSP/CM vs (insert OEM UI) as though the three are synonymous, with CM being the vehicle that brings stock to, again, (insert OEM UI) devices. Even the Sprint-variant galaxy sII threads contain more up-to-date FAQ/tutorial stickies.
Maybe do a better job of consolidating "out there" before being "that" guy who has nothing to contribute beyond a condescending one-liner?
To the OP, the official CM website does an ok job at explaining their 'official' releases, but not a whole lot about how the experience differs from 'official' Vanilla/Nexus/Play Edition releases.
Also, Linaro --who works with literally every company not named Nvidia on source development-- seems to be a BFD to tegra3...

I always thought a forum was place where people could come and get help, or opinions from fellow members.
If the OP is asking for your opinion, then it's a possibility he/she values what you have to say, rather than blogs that have been written by others.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
OP, it's a totally legit question, glad you asked. Because you asked, I read this thread and learned something. Perhaps the question has been asked too many times, but whatevs....no electrons or photons were harmed in the making of this thread. Frankly, you're either part of the solution or part of the problem, my vote says this thread is mostly part of the solution. I'm just in the process of deciding what I will do on my N7 after I unlock the bootloader and root it, now I have to search/understand the process of dual booting so I can try AOKP while enjoying stock, which I very much do (glad I waited for a 32). It also reinforced my desire to put CM back on my GSII.

Spoonfeeding huh? As somebody said already, this forum is a place to go ask questions and to help get a better understanding of what your tablet/phone is capable of.
To my knowledge there is nothing wrong w/ that as I have been doing this since '06 and continue to learn something new every time I read these forums. Cm 10.1 is a great rom w stock options, with the flexibility of giving you some customization. Surely give it a whirl

4.3 = Preview of Future Polish.
To me, 4.3 is a sneak peak into the Polish that is to come. Little additions like Emoji Keyboard and Individual App Permission Controls (with the help of Permission Manager) come all STOCK on Android 4.3. I currently am using the hybrid.33 Radio and can notice a slight increase in battery life. The whole ROM seems a bit smoother overall, but if this is any look into the future for what Android has in store as far as Polish, I'm all in!

As for the permission settings, it's a hidden feature that can be easily and conveniently accessed with this free app.
I personally love 4.3 for it's increased battery life. I get more SOT than I have ever got on 4.2.2 with custom ROM and kernel!
I love the battery life. This is the first time ever that my phone lasted 24 hrs even with light usage and i had WiFi on almost all the time. It seems to be sleeping very well with WiFi and am still not missing any notifications!
