[Nook Touch General] Renate:
How about:

# pm disable com.nook.softkeyboard

If it gets changed, look in /data/system/users/0/settings_secure.xml -> default_input_method and see what's in package that changed things.
[Nook Touch General] fasterpy:
When I look at settings_secure.xml, it says it's from android package.

So what happens is when I enable Gboard, and set it to default keyboard, nook system disables Gboard and reverts default keyboard to nook softkey
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Did you disable com.nook.softkeyboard?
[Nook Touch General] fasterpy:
Yep I did it but it still happens
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
That's very strange. Normally it would not re-enable. Does it show up in "ps -e"? Does "pm list packages -d" show disabled before and enabled afterwards?
[Nook Touch General] fasterpy:
So what happens is even if I disable or 'remove' nook softkey, everytime when device restarts nook somehow tries to set it to the default keyboard. And when that happens every other keyboards gets disabled in the setting. So I need to enable Gboard again agian, and again. It's so annoying... 😢
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yeah, it does look like it's really being rude strong-arming in the stupid keyboard.

Investigating...

Edit: I disabled a bunch of stuff and still the soft keyboard is running:

# pm list packages -d
package:com.nook.softkeyboard
package:bn.ereader
package:com.nook.partner
# ps -e|grep soft
u0_a23 2407 1693 1061876 54796 SyS_epoll_wait 0 S com.nook.softkeyboard

So, I finally Magisk'ed the apk away:

/data/adb/modules/MyModule/system/priv-app/nookSoftkeyboard # touch nookSoftkeyboard.apk

So now it's not running. But I can't get ANY keyboard to show up now.
[Nook Touch General] lighton2:
@Renate Thx to your guide, I rooted my device with magisk and i like this noogie-experience so much :D

I'm posting this because I need nook4's stock recovery, I accidently forgot to back-up stock recovery and just merely flashed yours, but I want to go back stock and root again. Can you upload noogie 4's stock recovery.img if available?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The stock recovery options are still there.

It just gave you the choice of reboot normally or flash factory.

I just added the options for the four side buttons.

If you want to do a manual update you can still do that too.

I rooted by referring to the link.

However, the recent update was forced, but the NG4 is returned to stock.

I flashed it again with boot.img I used before. And the device is brocken.

it can't boot.

There is only one thing it can boot to fastboot.

Can I get the new update boot.img? I think that is 122 firmware.

Hi, longtime reader, first time poster - I just wanted to thank you all for the work you've done. I was able to install apps using @Windsor1959 's instructions. I installed overdrive and am able to listen to audiobooks through my bluetooth headphones. Figured I'd share in case anybody wanted to try that. :)

[Nook Touch General] mrbryan:
Someone posed this earlier but didn't get a reply and I havent found an answer:

Is there any known way to get fastmode/norefresh/a2 or similar working on this model?

Thanks so much.

PS I sideloaded docs to go v3 from my old NST files as well as the only known working version of Dropbox i had and it works great so i have my simple wordprocessor setup which i loved.

However it's a bit unusable with the poor contrast and slow/full refresh.

Thanks for everyone's help

You should think twice about using m$ authenticator (or anything they offer for that matter). No way to know what they're doing with the codes.

Use andotp, which is open source.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
Yes, I'm generally very wary of M$ stuff ... but in this case, this app was adviced to me by security people who know what they're saying. So I have a good amount of trust in it. Microsoft is not stupid (anymore). I don't love them but I don't hate them any longer either - the've come a long way ... ;-)

It's a good app with cloud backup/restore of the accounts and the additional protection of FPS any time when you switch to the app from another screen to avoid evesdropping. So I'm pretty cool with it.

[Moto G9 Play Questions & Answers] TheRealDarkness:
Well, I'll be a little brief. I was flashing a TWRP, the problem is that it wasn't the right one for my system. My phone ended up in a hard brick, although I can enter fastboot perfectly. I can't get into the system, and obviously I can't get into the recovery either. I'm kind of a newbie at this, I don't usually touch things so often on my phone, but if I do it's for experimenting and curiosity (following tutorials). The only thing I see on the internet is to use the EDL, the only problem I see here is that there is none, I don't know if it's the right thing to do. I am very lost...

I have permission denied to everything in fastboot, and I can't do anything. If anyone has a way how to solve it I appreciate it too much :)

Hi is there any way that I can load some fonts into the Windows/fonts folder and change the font on all the menus and stuff without having to write or find a nice ROM? Just wondering how much I can change "skin/theme" wise without having to change too much of how my phone is running.

a simple no would've done.

You know, for the record, your attitude doesn't help.

The answer is "Yes, you can change the system font easily, it just takes a few registry edits."

Do a google for changing the system font - also search for reg key hklm/System/GDI/SYSFNT - and you should find something useful.

Attached a simple Magisk module to set the charging limit to 90% at boot time.

If you want to "undo", just remove the Magisk module and reboot.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Burt Squirtz:
I really appreciate you uploading this, man. However, not sure the masses realize that ACCA magisk module can not only do exactly this, but it also has a litany of far more features.

Not only that, but it can actually increase the charging speed slightly. Cool stuff.

Just flash the module, and then install the APK. Then going to settings and set the parameters/limit, or increased charging speed you want.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] biTToe:
I can't seem to get this to work on my P6P.

I am running Magisk 23014

The module is installed and "on"

The Damon is running in the App and In settings only temperature control and automatically cycle through switches are selected.

But, it always charged to 100%

Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I have the same experience.

I suspect we can use it but have to change something manually like setting what the control file is, based on the thread that's referenced in the OP:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] craigacgomez:
Until the correct switches are implemented in acc, you can make it work by using the current & voltage controls as the charging switch.

> Click on the gear icon for Custom settings

> Click the pencil icon next to Charging switch

> Change the value to 0 mA & Save

> Save the custom settings (save icon in the top right corner)

> Restart ACC daemon
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] biTToe:
Everything is good, until i restart the daemon. then the app crashes. When i restart the settings in charging switch have reverted to automatic.

... test charging switch hangs.

Have disabled pixel battery stuff.

Have force closed and deleted all data for app.

with no luck
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] craigacgomez:
Yeah, I don't know why the "Test Charging Switch" hangs in the app. But I'm not sure why restarting the daemon causes the app to crash for you.. You can try to set the charging switch to 0mA, save and reboot
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] batpoil:
Question from a noob, but why would I want to have my battery at 90% instead of 100%? Does it have something to do with battery health?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] therock3181:
Correct.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yep. For the last five years, I never quick charge, I charge as soon as my phone gets to 25% and I try to only charge to 75%. That 50% take still lasts me about a day.

Good battery health is also a selling point when I sell my old phones on Swappa.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] biTToe:
I finally got it working after multiple uninstall/reinstall/reboot cycles...

Or at least I thought I did. I changed the AccA version from Developer to Master.

That seems to have stopped the crashes and everything seemed to be working correctly. I plugged it in at 75% charge when I went to bed, but when i woke-up this morning I was at 40% charge -Status indicated discharging.

After a few more app and phone reboots it began charging again and now seems to be working: charge to 80%, discharge to 70%...

One thing I did notice was, if I set my Superuser access to "ask every time" I am constantly asks to grant permission every 20-30 seconds.

If it continues to be an issue I will post the log files if you can tell me where they can be found.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] craigacgomez:
After some time, I realised that the current/voltage switch was not working reliably, especially if you switch between chargers with different capacitites.

But I did find a better way to make acc work on the Pixel 6 / Pro. It uses the same charging switch that the modules above uses, but it will work with the acc pause/resume charging.

I do not know how to set this up using the app becuase it actually uses a combination of two switches the charge_stop_level and charge_start_level.

What you need:

Root (Magisk)

acc magisk modules (AccA app installs this. Tested with acc v2021.11.3)

Terminal emulator app

Steps:

Connect the phone to a charger

Open the terminal emulator app

Elevate to root

$ su

Reset acc to default (to eleminate any potential conflicts with previous configs)

# acc -s r

Set your pause (pc) and resume (rc) charge levels

# acc -s pc=80 rc=70

Specify the control switch

# acc -s s="/sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_start_level 0 95 /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level 95 5 --"

Validate the config. Check the values for resume_capacity, pause_capacity and charging_switch

# acc -s

Restart accd (acc daemon)

# accd

(Optional) Reboot

After that, you can tweak using AccA. Just leave the Charging switch & automatically cycle through switches" options untouched.

Further explanantion about the switch configuration

/sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_start_level 0 95 /sys/devices/platform/google,charger/charge_stop_level 95 5 --

- set charge_start_level to 0 when below the "resume capacity" so that the phone will charge

- set charge_start_level to 95 when at the "pause capacity" so that the phone will stop charging (effectively forces the phone to only start charging if the battery is 95%)

- set charge_stop_level to 95 when below the "resume capacity" so that the phone will charge

- set charge_stop_level to 5 when at the "pause capacity" so that the phone will stop charging (effectively forces the phone to only stop charging if the battery is 5%)

- the double hyphen at the end disables the "automatically cycle through switches" to guarantee that the specified switch is the only one that will be used.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Flawn:
It doesn't work for me neither way. Hmmm
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Hiya. What's the best method to keep up with more recent AccA Magisk Module versions? Asking for a friend who doesn't compile stuff. :D Seriously, I see it on GitHub https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/acc and I see instructions for building and installing, but is there any easy way for us lazy folks who never compile? i.e. is there any easy way for us non-developers to get files such as "Advanced_Charging_Controller_(ACC)-v2021.11.3(202111030).zip" out of the GitHub entry?

hi! I'm quite new to ACC(A) and was wondering how to better keep my phone's battery healthy. I was wondering about battery idle mode and saw that Roll3r found a working battery idle mode for use with Kirisakura kernel which I'm on. However, I'm just a noob with all the terminal things and don't know how to implement it myself. it's this one:

was wondering if you could list the terminal commands for this and what options am I not to touch afterwards (since in your example, which I have been using, you said not to touch the cycling option anymore)
