@paulcarroty Are you on Matrix?

If so you can request a manual review to @bhdouglass:matrix.org.

Include a link to your repo in the message, including instructions on how to build the app.

[paulcarroty]

@arubislander Yes, connection established.

Google Pixel 3a XL

Limited support only, because your device is not in the list. You can help add it by providing sys/class/power_supply and/or /sys/devices/ dirs when the charger cable is plugged in.

@paulcarroty Great work!

Maybe you could explicitly mention in the description that it will not work on all devices, along with the link to the readme which is already there. Some users don't make the effort to read before posting reviews...

I would like to thank you for your effort to debut a good application which I presume it must be as a primary app in UT.

I've downloaded the app to see how it looks like and as per below attachments:

I am using Google Pixel 3a XL, as you can see it is not working properly.

Will keep this app in my device and looking forward to be updated and fully functional soon.

Thumbs Up

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

[uxes]

@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

[Eric H]

@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.
