Charge Current

So, I'm working on enabling Forced Fast Charge on USB....

I can't seem to find an app or widget that actually shows what my charging current is. It's making it difficult to actually try and get working...


Anyone know of an app that actually works to show this phone's charge current?
 
To get real time current you have to have a code in the kernel to display it. Only kernels I have used that showed real time current was on HTC devices (Incredible kernels and CM9 kernel for Rezound I know have it) Other devices I have played with didn't have it.

Sounds kinda like what I was thinking. The apps that I'm seeing are hoping all over the place... Guessing that they're just doing the math on time vs battery voltage.


Thought it also looks like it's already taking about 450ma off of a usb port anyway. I don't think too many usb ports will put out much more than that without issues.
 
I charge up from 10% in about an 1.5 hr but only with screen off. The OG Droid was about 1 hr but it was a smaller battery.
