Is there anyway way to get this feature
I think it should be a default feature in android in general
The asus rog phone got it officially as "bypass charging" in a new update
In a nutshell the feature allows the phone to use power directly from the charger bypassing the battery altogether this is especially good for gamers and long sessions because u can use the phone without wasting even a fraction of battery life cycle
It can extend battery life a great deal.
After some searching I found out it can be done with a magisk module called advanced charging controller
Any chance we can implement this in a flashable zip or in a rom without the need for rooting?
It is certainly possible since there is kernels that support this for some devices and since it was implemented on the asus rog phone 3 by a software update
.. it's explained in detail here https://android.stackexchange.com/q...tery-but-use-connected-power-to-run-the-phone
This could be a very interesting feature.
For exemple I drive all day long with android auto and this could be a real life saver for the battery.

Battery idle mode needs kernel support to be possible, and this phone's kernel does not support it--not on stock (global), and not on Xiaomi.eu. ACC cannot turn on something that isn't available. And there are no third party kernels for this phone on this site. The closest thing you can do is get a low wattage charger that can only supply roughly the same amount of current the phone is using. Charging from a laptop's USB port might be suitable. This obviously does not require root, but will slowly charge or discharge the battery. The effect will be almost the same as battery idle mode, except that you may still end up charging the battery a bit while the phone is warm, which is not ideal. It should still be better than charging at high current as you would with the OEM charger and cable.
If you charge slowly as recommended above, ACC can be complementary. ACC can stop charging when your battery reaches a certain percent, so can operate the battery in a less stressful region, such as 60-80%.

It's actually possible even without kernel support
There is a generic way using acc
Here is a screenshot from the acc GitHub stable channel documentation
So it's possible
but my question was if it would be possible to implement the code in a rom or a flashable zip instead of magisk module
I'm still kinda hesitant to use magisk
I created a thread on the xiaomi.eu forums but didn't get any response

I see what you mean about emulating battery idle mode. (Though I'll believe it when I see it, since the two features described are something similar to battery idle mode, not battery idle mode itself.)
The way ACC and AccA are implemented requires root. It's the way the software is written and installed. In fact after you install the Magisk ACC module, you will see a flashable .zip in your Downloads folder. So you have the zip, but it won't install without Magisk. (I did try flashing it without Magisk.) And according to the ACC readme, some root solution is necessary (not necessarily Magisk). I assume it is possible to create flashable software that runs as root without requiring an external root solution (after all, Magisk and SuperSU provide root without depending on an external solution), but that's not the way ACC was implemented.

I see
Thanks for explaining
It can be implemented in the rom without root if the kernel supports it tho
I posted on akr-developers (one the hiirakernel thread) about the feature if it's possible to implement
Hopefully the developers will implement it

This command just stopped charging... Battery drain is still there
This needs more attention. Im also interested in it to be able this to work whenever needed not only in gaming.

I have noticed on my OPO that the application "Battery Monitor Widget" doesn't appear to have access to accurate battery information, including the size and the recharge/discharge rate. Instead you have to configure it manually for the size and tell it to estimate the discharge/recharge rate. From a bit of testing, it doesn't even appear that the OS itself has a good view of the battery, where if you have enough applications drawing enough power, and not enough power feeding the phone, it won't even show as being connected to USB power, and it will estimate if it is on AC or USB power apparently based on how much the recharge rate is.
My first question is if anybody knows if this is a software only issue, where additional hardware support needs to come in an update. Alternatively, are there any other tools that allow accurate monitoring of power state? Thanks!

I noticed the same thing. Mah shows 0 usually. I was also looking for an alternative, but i guess an update will fix it.
Change the battery monitoring setting to reverse mA. You can also manually input the capacity of the battery.

It may just be at random, but when I set reverse mA, I found that the system wouldn't go into deep sleep while charging, which slowed down charging significantly. I'm also pondering what this actually means (the reverse mA) as this implies it has data that it is reversing in some way.

I heard that "Kitkat" has changed their policy so that any battery monitor apps have no any more rights to read the figure of battery information.
But, the solution, as per what i experience, is to download Xposed Installer, and then there is a module named "Enable BATTERY_STATS for KitKat", download and activate it. After that, any apps with battery monitor function can be executed sucessfully.

As of the newest CM 11S build and battery monitor widget, it appears the issues have been resolved, and the battery data appears to be more accurate. This may require root however.
And there is a helper app which you need to install. As far as I recall
Send from OnePlus One using Tapatalk
Please read the following before installing the app:
This app requires a rooted mobile (Android 4.0 or later)
Before uninstalling the app, disable limit in the app (if forgotten, reboot after uninstalling)
Usage instructions and app details:
Enable limit in the app
Change the limit up to which it should charge (default: 80)
Check which control file suits best for your device, see Q/A section below for hints. In most cases, the pre-selected choice should be the best that's available for your device.
The app only gets kicked in while you connect a charger (or USB), and automatically closes shortly after unplugging charger (or USB) i.e it only runs in the background as long as it is plugged in, and won't affect your battery life.
If your device is not charging even after disabling the limit (which shouldn't happen, just in case), uninstall the app and reboot the device (The changes made by the app don't survive a reboot). Your device should charge normally then.
If the app says "your device is not yet supported"
There are various control files in different devices (due to OEMs), and toggling the values in them (0 and 1) makes it possible to enable and disable charging via software (might not be possible for every device), though the charging cable is still physically connected.
Since we cannot own every device, it is impossible for us to find every file. We can support a lot more devices with information provided by testing possible files on different devices by you, the people in the community.
Hence, for support to be provided to other devices, you need to do some detective work to find the files on the respective devices. Please refer to this file for control files of currently supported devices, so you can know where they are generally present: https://github.com/sriharshaarangi/BatteryChargeLimit/blob/master/app/src/main/res/raw/control_files.json
You can send us a pull request or open an issue on GitHub. If necessary, you can also post the name of the device and the file here.
FAQ
Q) Can you please add support for... (insert arbitrary device name here)?
A) Maybe, but we need your help. Bottom line, this app does nothing but modifying the content of a certain "control file", some more details are given above. If you find such a control file for your device, please let us know (ideally, open a GitHub issue here: https://github.com/sriharshaarangi/BatteryChargeLimit/issues) and we will add support for your device.
Q) I think I observed a bug. Can you fix it?
A) We'll do our best, but we need your help: Please open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/sriharshaarangi/BatteryChargeLimit/issues) and provide as much information as possible about the problem.
In most cases, we need the "logcat" logs of your device to find out about the exact issue. In order to provide those, you could use aLogcat (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rs.pedjaapps.alogcatroot.app).
FOR CHARGING-RELATED ISSUES: Select the "Time" format in the preferences of aLogcat, so we can see precise timings, and filter for "(Charging|Power) State" with "Apply as regular expression" ticked.
FOR CRASHES: Please also select the "Time" format and provide unfiltered logcat data that includes the stack trace of the crash.
Q) Why do you want to limit charge to a lower capacity?
A) In short, to prolong battery life in long term usage. For more information, refer this : http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
Q) How does this app work? Does it modify something in the ROM/Kernel to stop charging?
A) It writes "0" or "1" to a control file that represents some state of the power supply hardware, as simple as that. The file is normally read-only, so you need root to overwrite it.
The change might be automatically reversed by the OS if the power supply situation changes. Anyway, it should never survive a reboot of the device.
Q) I can select multiple more than one control file in the radio group. Which one should I use?
A) For most devices, battery_charging_enabled or store_mode are preferable. Try those first and see if it works. If you observe any bugs, try another file.
Q) I have a OnePlus device, and the app doesn't work correctly for me. What to do?
A) Check that the control file you selected is NOT battery_charging_enabled! Although it should be preferred in general, there are known issues for this file with OnePlus devices.
Q) I use the store_mode on a Samsung device. My device always stops charging at 70 % (or other specific percentage), no matter what limit I have set.
A) The store_mode implementation differs among the supported (Samsung) devices.
Normally, it freezes the level at the current percentage when store_mode is triggered until the cable is unplugged for some seconds. This is a normal condition due to Samsung's kernel implementation, it's not a bug of this app.
If this is a problem for you, try to switch to another control file (e.g. batt_slate_mode), if supported.
Q) How does the "automatic stats reset" work?
A) The automatic reset should perform a stats reset when your power supply is removed while the battery level is within the desired range. Everything else is wrong behavior.
Q) No matter if I the "automatic stats reset" is enabled or not, my phone is always resetting my battery statistics. Why?
A) Are you using a threshold above 90%? If yes, your ROM will most likely clear the stats when the power is removed. There is nothing we can do about that.

I can't believe it. You can't imagine how long I was looking for such an app .
Will try it!
I remember this was a feature that some kernels had years ago, and I would limit the charge to 85%. On my laptop I can cap it to 60%, which is great because I leave the charger in often.
Anyway, thank you for making this app!

Does the battery percentage continue to rise beyond the limit? Regarding notification, it doesn't immediately go away after unplugging. It goes away after the percentage drops 3% below the limit. It is to ensure that the phone again charges to the limit if the phone is still plugged in. If it is not plugged in, then notification closes.
very good idea, thanks for app, was looking for app like this for a long time will report in half hour if app works
thanks!I always was searching such an app cause:
1)I read if u charge your battery till 80% it will last more time..
2)At the end of the day,I always have 40% battery left and I cant trust my phone for the next day without charge.
Thanks again It works on my moto x play!It stopped at 79% but its ok not such a big deal!
ok, so it worked, but first time, when i unpluged and pluged app didn't noticed pluging and continued charging. after that i tried several times and it worked again. so there should be somewhere bug in monitoring pluging charger sometimes is left unnoticed.

Seems to work on my LeEco Pro 3. Charging icon switched to normal battery at 80%.
This is what I have been looking for!
Thank you for the app!
I tried it and its stop charging after 95% ?
Im on xperia z5 Nougat.
But the notification doesnt go away when I unplug the charger's cable from the phone.
Turning off the app but did make the notification disappear.
Another question.
Does it really stop the charger from giving electricity to our phone?
Or does it only change the charging status?
Im scared that the app tells that it stopped charging, but the electricity is still going on.

1. Regarding notification, (I have updated the OP as well):
The app only gets kicked in while you connect a charger (or USB), and automatically closes shortly after unplugging (not immediate, it closes after percentage drops more than 3% below the limit because the app doesn't know whether the cable is physically connected or not, since we disable charging at the limit. So, after it drops below 3% and (a)the charger is still connected, it charges again to the limit, and (b)if it is disconnected, then the notification closes) .
So, it is not a bug.
2. Does it really stop the charger from giving electricity to our phone?
It actually stops charging at the limit. It is in the same way any phone automatically stops charging when the battery reaches 100% capacity.

I don't know the reason(I don't think this is kernel dependent), but this file is the key: /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled
It should be 1 by default. And when it reaches the limit, the value is made 0 by the app.
Hi since i install diferent rom 8.1 my battery stop charging at 90% i am actually on aicp 8.1, but when i return on nougat my battery charge at 100%
I don't know why
I cant say nothing specific because i havent used that ROM, but in Magisk Manager is Module called Magisk Charging Switch that stops charging at 90% default or at your desired % to save battery lifespan. Maybe its implemented in ROM (if you arent using this module) and maybe its just a simple bug.

I don't understand this feature at all. After reading this article http://www.xperiablog.net/2020/06/01/xperia-1-iis-hs-power-control-feature-bypasses-battery-charging-to-maximise-gaming-performance/ I thought it will allow me to play games for as long as I want without depleting the battery. I've tried charging with this feature turned on 2 times now, and both times the battery level was dropping., so where's that battery degradation reduction they write about?
Furthermore, H.S. power control supposedly prevents the battery from charging, but during both tests, Franko Kernel Manager was showing that the battery was charging, not in a usual way though. Speed was going back and forth between charging rapidly (as fast as 6000 mA) and charging slowly (as slow as 12 mA).
"Limits performance reduction and battery degradation caused by device overheating during charging. The battery doesn't get charged when this feature is on. Turn off this feature when charging". So you launch a game, go through the game enhancer's features, and see this confusing AF wording, which tells you the feature prevents overheating while charging and gaming, but at the same time tells you not to turn it on while charging and gaming.
I use this feature when navigating. I was happy that it's not only available for games. Worked well. At least battery level didn't changed after some hour drive. Didn't checked it with Franco kernel Manager.
You selected the App and the colored bar appeared when App was in use?

"Limits performance reduction and battery degradation caused by device overheating during charging. The battery doesn't get charged when this feature is on. Turn off this feature when charging". So you launch a game, go through the game enhancer's features, and see this confusing AF wording, which tells you the feature prevents overheating while charging and gaming, but at the same time tells you not to turn it on while charging and gaming.

Must be a bug, works fine on my phone though....try resetting the phone perhaps?

I use this feature when navigating. I was happy that it's not only available for games. Worked well. At least battery level didn't changed after some hour drive. Didn't checked it with Franco kernel Manager.
You selected the App and the colored bar appeared when App was in use?

Yes, the enhancer works, just not exactly as advertised.

I've spent quite some time on customizing the phone, installing apps etc. so I'd rather not start all over again. Unless there won't be any custom ROMs for a very long time...
it is a bug. if you still have problem. or other people have a problem there a way to fix it without factory reset. if your phone running android 12 or android 11. BUT not lasted firmware(of the android version.). try to download lasted version of Game enhancer(i recommended version 7.x.x instead version 8.x.x, because it more stable on 7, but if you rooted or can install subsystem apk, you can go with lasted version and i more recommended to do so to get more feature), subsystem and monitor apk from apkmirror, dont worry all app have same Game enhancer logo. if you have android lasted android 11 or android 12 firmware, only download Game enhancer and monitor app, as subsystem has been set to persistent app. and cannot be updated. if you are rooted download all app i mention and install as system app then reset your phone. im using xperia 1 ii with version 7.0.A.1.20 game enchaner as my original version came with my firmware have bug and H.S does not work as intended. whoever updated it does fix the problem(you can see with most battery monitor app that charging switch from -x/+x to null or 0) whoever not installing subsystem and lasted monitoring app from cause :
1.powersaver or balance does not effect anymore(but switch to Power save allow phone to use 600-700mah more often, and performance while have same usage sometimes spike to 1000mah sadly the display stay at 60hz, this is not intended as using original app power are limitied to 400-650 while average around 480mah with 40hz display)
2.while congrats you can streaming from you phone now, unless subsystem installed you may only have 1 chance to screenshot thumbnail until you reset user data. as importing image or re screenshot not working without newer subsystem. but at least all stream function working fine as i test it for 1 hours nonstop(just make use you have atleast 20-30mbps UPLOAD as lower than that cause stuttering on youtube even on 480p stream)
3.it may or may not disable/bypass thermal throttling while gaming(cant confirm but on my phone using original apk will give me around 280gips max then down to around 160 or 180gips under 5 minutes while using update version will stay more than 300gips, on CPU Thrttling, same as 3d mark, while normal benchmark average, extended test will have better result than most xperia on same model with 99.5% stability and score around 1108 to 1106 from loop 1 to loop 4 with identical performance range from loop 1 to loop 20)
4.recording no longer work on sdcard as they change folder name and older subsystem still using older name, it just keep asking permission
5.on stream and record menu. there option for capture card. it does nothing, even installing another backend app. like audio app from G.E and other app, it still wont work, unless you are rooted and install all backend app as system app, whoever fearnot, you stil can stream your content via type c to hdmi like normal, but dont except you can get audio bypass or settings like xperia 1 IV have,
*again point 3 is unclear as for me performance from older bencmark are deference than now, but it is from era android 11, i can be sony fix thermal issue and performance from firmware and not this trick, but it does effect mine since i can just remove update and see instantly the deference and it may can on your xperia too
*i said both monitoring/monitor app and subsystem app. because it called that but apk file name uploaded as sony multitasking function and GE subsystem
here a proof for point number 3, and not it not with any mod(no fan cooler but no case either with H.S enabled)
Hello,
You can add custom apps to H.S. Power Control right?
Only supported apps or ALL apps installed?
Does that also work if you turn the screen off? or does the phone start charging as soon you you turn the screen off?
Any developer wants to make a kernel for games on the poco x3 pro? if possible, add the option to skip the battery, such as Rog 3, oneplus 7 (enabled by the advanced charge controller). Please!
You can try ask in the telegram group
MOD EDIT: Link Removed
Battery skip, do you mean direct power to device without charging the battery when connected with charger?
This thing will need the hardware support. As I personally try auto-detect, ACC didn't detect this support.
Maybe ask developers if they see this option possible in the firmware/kernel or not.

yes the power goes straight to the cell phone and does not charge the battery, it preserves the useful life, so I saw only the kernel support is enough I think

Use Advanced Charging Controller (acc)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/advanced-charging-controller-acc.3668427/
It's written in the README description how to "emulate" battery idle mode
Spoiler
GenericEmulate battery idle mode with a voltage limit: acc -s pc=101 rc=0 mcv=3920. The first two arguments disable the regular charging pause/resume functionality. The last sets a voltage limit that will dictate how much the battery should charge. The battery enters a [pseudo] idle mode when its voltage peaks. Essentially, it works as a power buffer.
Limiting the charging current to 0-250 mA or so (e.g., acc -sc 0) may produce the same effect. acc -sc - restores the default limit.
Force fast charge: appy_on_boot="/sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge::1::0 usb/boost_current::1::0 charger/boost_current::1::0"

I've tested it and it really seems to work, but how can I make sure I'm not ruining my battery?

Don't go to high on battery temperature.
Try not to use while charging.
Smart batteries now have self condition check.
Ampere app can check condition of batteries.
Try not to get battery percentage higher than 95%.
Try not to get battery percentage lower than 30%. Charge when you have access to power.
I always use the black shark cooler when I play on the charger, battery temperature at 30 C, but I'm still not sure if this idle battery "emulation" works, I saw that it depends on the cell phone kernel and I'm not sure if my phone supports it, I wanted to be sure, because I use the game charging for hours and the battery without charging can't handle

ACC did not detect idle mode support on auto, it is not support by the kernel, not even in MIUI (yet).
Only emulate.
You need to take balance whether you want battery health or gaming.
You have to choose which is priority for you.
Give and take, not both.
About kernel problem, go ask in Telegram group. Find kernel authors and ask possibilities to get idle battery mode into kernel.
