@uxes
Shouldn't device names be curtana, joyeuse, excalibur or gram instead of miatoll ?

@Eric-H it is pretty much possible i did not look how is getting device name implemented, but device is identified as miatoll in logs, and also in releases http://system-image.ubports.com/utnext/arm64/android9plus/daily/ on same level as surya

@paulcarroty
I installed test build for surya.
It seems to work but it does not stop charging when limit is reached.

Is it related to the following message ?

/bin/sh: 1: cannot create /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled: Permission denied

[Eric H]

@uxes It was just an idea.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

[uxes]

Another reboot helped, now indicator works, we can mark miatoll as working, just needed two reboot not just one

@paulcarroty I'm currently experimenting a udev rules :

# Set charging permissions so indicator-upower can access it
ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", KERNEL=="battery", RUN+="/bin/chmod 0666 /sys/class/power_supply/%k/charging_enabled"

It seems to work. I will confirm later.

[paulcarroty]

New release arrived, thx to all contributors.

[Eric H]

@paulcarroty
I can see on github that v0.5 has been released.
But only v0.4 seems to be available on the open store.

[paulcarroty]

@Eric-H probably the store review still in progress.

[Eric H]

@paulcarroty
Ok.
Thanks for your work.

Hi @Eric-H

Here is an explanation:

[Eric H]

@paulcarroty
I tested the 0.5 release on surya and I can confirm that it works as expected.

Regarding the udev rule, it works perfectly with permissions 0666.
But if I try 0664, it no longer works…
What is the group of the /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled file on other devices?

[uxes]

@Eric-H
miatoll

-rwxrwxrwx 1 system system 4,0K led 19 12:40 /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled

[paulcarroty]

@Eric-H try the next rule with 0664:

ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", KERNEL=="battery", RUN+="/bin/chmod 0664 /sys/class/power_supply/%k/charging_enabled", RUN+="/bin/chown phablet /sys/class/power_supply/%k/charging_enabled"

@paulcarroty
I think it's indeed the right approach.
I will confirm today that it works.
