Great link r.h.k.!! I've waited for fast-charging mode on new kernel for months!! I'll try today ;) 2009/5/21 Risto H.

Re: [shr-testing] Forcing fast charge mode
I don't want to say that before trying I was sceptic, but now I can confirm: I've tried, IT WORKS!! :D My personal way to make it handly, is creating a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications with the exec like the before mentioned command. I think this should be inserted (without difficulty) as a button in SHR power-menu. Thanks again :D 2009/5/21 Risto H.

Though if you are just looking for fast-charge control for when using dumb chargers, the basics have already been added to the Battery module for shr-settings. It's in the git repo [1], and potentially buggy, but I was running it fine with my car charger all weekend on a road trip. Just replace the existing file in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/shr_settings_modules/ and restart shr-settings.

I don't know how to make the package so I guess someone might help here :). BTW, I don't know python...I have updated it by copying the code...so it would be great if someone reviews it before packaging. Moreover, once the information is confirmed we can update http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Forcing_fast_charge_mode with exact paths as well --Vikas http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Forcing_fast_charge_mode#Beni.27s_fast_charge_gta02.sh it says that The /sys paths need to be updated for recent distributions what does that mean?
