[Mod][6.x/7.x] Xthermal Mod -Fast Charging + Some CPU/GPU Tweaks

Hi Guys,
I'm back with the Xthermal Mod.
But this time it is for Nexus 6P.
Introduction:
Nexus 6P is the best handset I've ever used. No doubts about that.
Nexus 6P has got one of the best Fast Charging.
But why I always get around 800-1100 mA current while charging?
Max to max I get 1500-1700 mA current.
Is this the best fast charging I can get?
Then I opened my thermal engine file and started working on it.
Goal:
Xthermal_Fast_Charge: Here I tried to boost my charging current/speed while keeping rest values to their default.
Xthermal_Performance: Here I tried to boost my charging current/speed + Same basic CPU & GPU tweaks are also applied.
I have successfully been able to achieve average 2600-2800 mA current. (Stock charger supports Max 3000 mA)
Tested with roms based on "N" aka Android 7.x.

How to apply:
Just flash the zip using twrp and see the difference using Ampere app...

Note to mods: Please kick it to related section if I missed it.

Screen Shots of Ampere app after applying the Xthermal Mod.
I have changed the initial values only.
So don't worry it won't harm your device at all.
The critical high temp. values are still the same.

curiious to see others results. so this is just to increase the fast charge time? what kind of a difference are you seeing versus stock?

In normal usage I get around 1500-1700 mA current only.
After applying the mod it goes upto max i.e. 2800-2900 mA.
Actually the stock temperature values to control/limit your fast charging are too low.
So we can't make use of Fast charging in date to day works.

Which one should i flash?
Performance or normal one?
Also just flash and that's it?

Xthermal_Fast_Charge.zip have only fast charging tweaks ...
But Xthermal_Performance.zip have fast charging tweaks + other cpu and gpu tweaks to boost the performance too...
I'm personally using Xthermal_Performance.zip...

Will flashing this tweaks damage phone in a long run, but it looks pretty good. I may flash it later today.

Will performance effect battery life?

Most of the time I use a slow old usb adapter, is it OK to flash this?

It should be fine as the charging adapter handles current amps going through the cable. This allows our Fast Charger to be taken to it's fullest ability

How much faster does this charge compared to stock?

Both are good.
Charging while handset is off will make sure less heat and more faster charging... But you will miss your calls and sms...
Charging while power on is also good ...
I have tried to make sure you get max faster charging with your daily moderate usage...

Xthermal Mod - Fast Charging + CPU + GPU Tweaks

Original thread for Nexus 6P is located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...t/xthermal-mod-fast-charging-cpu-gpu-t3433784
Hi Guys,
After a very successful journey from Redmi 1s to Nexus 6P, I'm now here with my Xthermal Mod for Mi 5.
I'm personally testing the mod since a week and will be rolling out all the profiles soon.
Till then I need your help to test it out in different conditions.
Please join and help me to make it more better this time.
I'm attaching Fast Charge only profile as of now.
Edit: Xthermal Performance + Back to stock added...

1. Stock charger supports max 2000 mah.
2. Max Charging current is controlled by the Kernel itself.
As soon as battery level increases the charging current goes down.
You might have observed that if battery level is below 50% then charging is super fast but after 60% it is very slow.
If you (your apps) do not use the handset resources much while charging then you do not need this mod.
If you use your handset while charging (which is strongly not recommended) example for gaming, browsing or chatting etc then the temperature rises slowly slowly.
The stock limits are very aggressive and it starts throttling and your cpu, gpu and charging speeds goes down.
So this mod comes into play here and delays the throttling a bit resulting in better cpu, gpu and charging results.
Does it produces more heat?
Heat is directly related with performance. This mod itself doesn't produce any heat but yes delaying the throttling means the handset is able to use all your resources even if temps rises hence may result in a bit more heat + more performance.
The results are more amazing if you have a fast charger.
I believe there is no risk in flashing this but still don't blame me for all your actions.

Is there any requirements? Miui? Cm? Kernel?

Please upload the "back to stock" for mi 5. Thanks

I don't see "thermal-engine-8996.conf" file in my rom. Assume I can just delete the file (or re-install rom) to revert to default.
By the way, do you know what's default value for each before this mod? Hope this mod not increase the threshold too much. Worry it will boom.
I've read original thread, what I understand is our phone will charge faster but trade off with hotter while charging.

No need to flash both as fast charge is there in performance zip too...

Just flash performance zip.on miui 8 6.9.29 i feel the phone faster then before,fast charging work good,just for test from 20%to100% 50min.Good joob

Just flashed it too. Phone seems much faster will see about charging and battery drainage but I prefer faster phone over battery always

Would you mind explaining technically what those mods do? e.g.: governor, upper and lower frequency limit, etc. Some of us like to know the geeky details

Quick charge doesn't work on global ROM

The only time quick charge has worked on my phone is with the original ROM that came on the device. I've tried the developer rom and global stable, and neither of these work with quick charge. Even with the supplied wall charger it peaks at 1.7 amps. All my USB battery banks charge it at that speed too. I was able to charge at 3.2 amps with the original rom. Anyone else?

Same here after updating to miui9 it doesn't work.

Yep, I just confirmed it by reinstalling miui 8 global. Quick charge works on that one, but not on 9.

I don't get the charging rapidly message anymore on the new global rom either but ampere said that my phone was charging at 2.7A (battery was about 80% full) before it peaked and started gong down as it 90% etc....

If it's a known bug why would I report it anyways? It's already known. I'm using a forum for open discussion as that's the point of a forum.
I'll try the 7.11.6 ROM and see.
Edit: 7.11 is the developer ROM. I've already tried that one and quick charge does not work. For me it's only working on miui 8. None of the miui 9 ROMs have shown the charging current on the lock screen. I had to use a Drok USB meter to test the charge speed on miui 9 since the lock screen no longer shows the charge current.

7.11.6 has a working quick charge!

It's working for me on the 9.1.1.0 global stable rom. Let the screen turn off completely then press the power button and you should get "Quick charging, tap to view details" at the bottom. It doesn't stay there very long and changes to "About x mins until full" after a few seconds and then the quick charging notice doesn't ever seem to come back again.. It seems it only shows on the lock screen and even then just for a few seconds. It does work though

Are you 100% sure its working? I see so many posts about people experiencing the exact same issue as me. Are you still on 9.1.1.0 or did you update to 9.1.2?

Ok, so I just upgraded to the 9.1.2.0 Global stable again, and it looks like quick charge is working, but they've just removed the amperage reading from the lock screen, which sucks because that was such a clutch feature.

Quick charge doesn't work with the standard charger. I had the global dev and now the global stable of MIUI 9 and with both quick charge works perfectly fine, just not with the standard charger.

Why is this so inconsistent for everyone? Quick charge definitely works for me on the standard charger, although I don't use it. I'm on the latest 9.1.2 global stable.
As I said before, quick charge DOES work on 9.1.2 global stable, but without an app like ampere you'll never know it's actually working. We need to be able to see the actual charging current, and not some notification that says that it's quick charging.

Global Stable 9.5.4.0 (Oreo), QC works, but only with 6V and 1,2A

Which roms support fast charge higher than 2amps?

So...Which Custom Roms support fast charge higher than 2amps?

I guess every custom rom does support fast charging

The stock charger tops out at 2A. Now it charges at 12V too on stock rom and m not sure if it does that on custom roms. But I'm good as I get the latest software via customs and if charging takes like 20 mins more, I can live with that as I only have to charge it once in two days

Question Is there any rom that have smart charging like in CrDroid?

The capability to set to charge only till 80%. Have read in TG that this feature was dropped, due to the danger of getting the device bricked because of her. There's a post explaining why here in xda, made by arrow dev.

You can root your phone with Magisk and get the Magisk Module "Advanced Charging Controller".
Then, in a Terminal, you do "sudo acc 80" to make it stop charging @ 80%.

I have only found 2 roms with this feature, crDroid 9.0 and the rom i use, the
AMAZING Evolution-X 7.4,
Smart Charging works GREAT on this rom

Try miuivn. It has smart charging pre-enabled. it is based on miui 14 (chinese) and android 13 official. Im using it as a daily driver and havent seen any bugs yet.

Are you able to customise the maximum charge level as with Evolution-X,
I like to charge my F3 between 35% and 65%,
this lasts me around 8 hrs and only generates 0.03 cycles,
this will hopefully keep my battery in tip top condition.

There is no built-in option for that but there are automated tasks you can set for that I guess. I also never have used Accu Battery app.

Hi,
I`ve been looking for many years for a rom with the "Smart Charge" feature, i have only found two for the F3, Evo-x and crDROID,
i used to use ACCA until Evo-X came along, i am always on the look out for roms with this feature to see how it compares.
I brought my F3, New 14 months ago and it still has 95% of the battery capacity left according to ACCU.
I try to minimise the battery cycles and phone temperature,
hopefully by doing this it will keep my Battery in Tip Top condition.

No this rom is called miuivn.

There's already some roms with it. But most of the maintainers aren't including it, because it can bring issues.
Anyway, I when I'm not in a rom with Smart charge, I always use a app called "battery charge limit". Super lightweight that allows to smart charge.

Hi,
Yes i also read about Charging Issues regarding Smart Charging, before i switched to Evo-X, i used ACCA and this was good, but i think it`s better to have this feature built in.
There were post regarding dead phones ect using the smart charge function,
yet i used ACCA for 10 months without any issues before switching to EVO.
If possible could you link to "Battery Charge Limit" as I'm not aware of this app,
cheers.

Hello buddy. Yeah I think we already have discussed that on other post. Supposedly it could bring serious issues to pmic controller.
But I used it around 3 years on my previous device (oneplus 3), without any issue. And now I've been using on poco, without any problems too. But well, I'm aware that someday it could turn bad.
I can't find on internet, but it's available on TG - https://t.me/RohailsHub/794.
If you prefer I can upload the apk.

Some custom ROMs that have smart charging feature built-in include:
AOSiP ROM
Evolution X ROM
Paranoid Android ROM
Please note that the availability and functionality of these features may vary depending on your device and the version of the ROM you are using. It's recommended to check the ROM's official XDA thread or the Github repository for more information.

Hi,
Just a small update regarding "Smart Charging", I had to revert back to ACCA, as i use a QI Wireless receiver/adaptor to charge my phone most of the time and found that when QI charging my battery temperature was getting worryingly high,
at one point it reached 40.5 degrees, yet when using a standard charger my battery was fine.
I tried the app that you uploaded (Many thanks) but it looked very similar to ACCA except it had less functionality, i also found an (almost) identical Program on the play store.
So for now i have disabled the "SMART CHARGING" function in the Evo-X rom and reverted back to ACCA, as i am able to set the charge temperature.
I have set it to stop charging at 35 degrees and resume at 30 degrees,
I have also ordered a replacement QI Receiver to see if it resolves my issue.
