Change battery capacity in Android

[elchicoexperto]

Good morning Team, Im proud for meet you, and utilice your creation, LineageOS 16 in my samsung galaxy note 3 N9005, as you, i was working in my univertity since starting android, from years 2009, but every day i learn more.


Now i want to know how chahge the battery capacity, beause im using Lineage OS 16, and i need to change the battery capacitym because the original is 3200 mAh, but i bought a battery with 7200 mAh, then when my battery in android arrive to 1%, she is with this status until 4 hours more less and next to few minutes, turn off my phone, but i guess if if modiffy this capacity in android and i put the real value, maybe fixed this problem.


please i need your help
thanks, i live in Cuba

Heres something I read online

"Calibrating" your battery is important. You're not really calibrating the battery itself, but teaching Android to expect longer battery life. Your phone's kernel tells the OS to expect a ~3200maH battery, and Android displays a battery percentage based on that, even when a 7500maH battery is installed.

Due to this, one problem I've run into is that the phone will not display the proper battery percentage. During the first calibration cycle, my phone lasted another 10-12 hours while still reading 1%.

Calibration process:
1. With the phone powered OFF, charge to 100%. Unplug.2. Power ON the device. If battery percentage is not yet 100%, charge the phone to 100%.
3. Unplug the device and allow it to drain completely under normal usage until the phone shuts off. This will take a while.
4. Power on the phone again and again drain completely until the phone shuts off for a second time.
(Note: Deep discharge of a Li-Ion battery IS harmful, but this process is not considered a deep discharge. Circuitry in the battery itself prevents this. Do not fear)
5. Repeat steps 1-4.
Instructions that come with the battery say to do this process three times. I've read some users only having to do this once, but I personally did this five times until the correct battery percentage was displayed.

This is a long and tedious process. The only other solution I have found is to flash a custom kernel that supports 7500maH batteries, which I have not tried.

Even if you don't perform this process, your battery life will increase greatly, but you won't have reliable battery stats. Speaking of battery stats, some users say that deleting batterystats.ini and clearing cache will solve this problem, but really it will just reset the entire process and the phone will again display battery life expecting a 3220maH battery"

Thanks for your answer but I tried this way but I didn't obtained nothing. Nothing change about battery capacity information.
I need to find the form for flash the kernel. Because I flashed the kernel and when the phone start the logo are showing again again and again don't pass to system


I need to find a solution

I have Note 4 n910p and I flashed a permissive custom kernel by freeza with Zero Lemmon support. Try looking threw the XDA threads to find one for your specific device.
Before I flashed the zero lemmon kernel. I used the method above and it work for me. I dout you'll see it in system battery states if thst what your looking for but I see it in kernel Aditior app.

Good luck

Yes but I flashed with LineageOs 16. And tell me about the process because I don't know if I'm doing something wrong

Im downloading the Kernel Aditior apk and this application make the capacity??

Be careful flashing another custom kernel. I know with CMR's it sometimes caused soft bricking. Also so of tge custom kernels have a root method along with the .zip. If your using Magisk and the kernel .zip has SuperSu in it, your going to have incompatibility issues.

Hello ok this is my number for WhatsApp <removed by moderator>

 

[Hadron]

Posting your number to a public Internet site is not smart - that's why the mods removed it last time.

 

[MrJavi]

The reason I didn't respond the last time was I don't have whats app and even if I did I'm hearing impaired, bordering severe/profound. PM me on this site is also an option. My lack of hearing prevents me from understanding alot of verbal communication.

Hi @elchicoexperto, please don't post personal contact info.

If you want to PM @MrJavi you can go to his profile page and click "start a conversation."

Nothing will work without interfering with the firmware core. You need to add support for larger capacity batteries. I've already done this with the Galaxy Note 4. I bought a Chinese Perfine battery. The battery is very good by the way! Heliotion too.

I have a Galaxy Note 4 and I was able to do the above by flashing a custom kernal by Freeeza with ZeroLemmon support. I however, have a PowerBear 7500 mAh but it workes well non the less.

How I can to find the kernel for my Galaxy note 3. I need to find a solution

I bought a battery with 7200 mAh. Different to original battery for Galaxy note 3. I need to find a solution I tried with many way. But nothing

How I can to find the kernel for my Galaxy note 3. I need to find a solution

ok,

First,

Im not a developer. I port and mod my Note 4 (n910p). I've learned much from reading threw XDA and many other sites. Add to that the Imperial method of experimentation and observation.

Second

If you dont know how to make a full backup (all partitions) and/or how to recover from a bootloop, then stick with what you got and take no risk.

Third

Im not responsible if you brick your device.
ok with that said. With my N4 theres a developer by the nale of @freeza. I preferred Beast mod kernel r56 MM/overclocked/permissive but being on a higher version of MM causes bad data connectivity. 3G

@freeza also makes a hibrid N4 with r61 beast mod kernel with Zerolemmon support/ no overclock/ great data connectivity LTE.

Being that there is not much activity in the XDA Note 4 forums and few actually have the answer I was seeking. Not being able to downgrade my bootloader or modem because the latest update was a higher aboot partition (fused 5, binary 4). I came up with an idea to port the kernels. Sure I knew how to port roms but I couldn't even find a single tutorial on how to port custom kernels.
Anyway, I was uncertain but I was willing to take the risk. I decided to use the app in the link below

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.zdevs.zarchiver

I downloaded both kernels and replaced the r61 boot.img with the r56(overclooked) boot.img. All folders and files of the r61 zeroleemon kernel but moded with r56 boot.img. I put it on the root of my external sd and flashed it.

Success, got my cake and ate it to.

Did the bigger battery come with a bigger battery housing?
Tape don't work.

7500mAh No tape required lol
I use syle 1

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Not the Note 3 @MrJavi.
It had a removable battery.

Yea,@dontpanicbobby , Im well aware of that, I used to own a Note 3 n900p. The Note 4 has a removable battery aswell.

I left Samsung. Went to LG.
Who knew Samsung had such good designers?
I'd have rocked the thickest one with no problems.

@elchicoexperto Two months later... Did you do it? Did it work?

Well the Note 4 is considered by may to be the last developer friendly phone.
I'm not trying to prove I've do this kernel port because I have. I've be rooted user for years.
