[feature request]: higher wattage on non official magsafe chargers

[Hamzabdx]

Plz add the feature that was added in ios 17.2 that increases the wattage on non official magsafe battery chargers and packs from 5w to 15w

CL is a software, and the functionality of CL heavily depends on the corresponding functionality inside hardware(battery/circuit board) and iOS system kernel, I think there is at least 2 problems to figure out for the feature:

• From which model(iPhone14?15?) the functionality added to the hardware? (The charging protocol is embeded in the hardware(circuit board) to make sure the feature be actived even when the phone power off or system shutdown)
• From which version the iOS system kernel add corresponding support for this feature? maybe lower than 17.2, or maybe just 17.2. If the kernel provide this feature but limited from userspace, then it may be solved, and if the version higher than 17.0, then it will be impossible for TrollStore currently.

I only have limited number of devices, so It's very hard for me to figure these out.

I have jailbroken (dopamine) iphone 14 pm on ios 16.2 im sure this feature is software based and it was activated in ios 17.4 but it was only activated in iphone 13 and up

Heres an article about it with more detail https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/iphone-13-and-iphone-14-reportedly-getting-better-wireless-charging-in-ios-17-2/

Btw u can make this feature as a tweak on its own and make it paid on havoc for example id pay 1-2$ dollars for it if you dont feel like doing it for free

i have the 14pm on iOS 16.2 i have the exact issue.

charing on on non official magsafe battery chargers only give me 5W even the wireless charger supports up to 15W

when i charge it, it shows the cirecle animation and initially shows 15W but quickly after 1 sec it dropps to 5W and remain that way

def related to iOS 16 restriction

[Hamzabdx]

Yes the only way around this is to get magsafe wireless charger clones from china that makes the phone think you have an original or if a dev makes a tweak fixing it

iPhone12 is the higest model I have got, but 17.x not jailbreakable currently, so I couldn't help you

[Hamzabdx]

Its ok

I still think it's impossible for a software to implement this. From all the stuff you have shown, it seems probably apple add this new "code" to the kernel, rather than hiding it in lower version system. It's obvious that a software couldn't access kernel directly, espcially for non-jailbreak environment. In this case CL couldn't create new charge logic "code" in kernel, and seems impossible to be implemented. It may be possible with PongoS environment, jailbreak

The iphones 13pro + already has the ability to charge at 15w on lower ios versions its just that its capped at 5w for non official wireless chargers and magsafe powerbanks so the only thing you would be doing is making the ios think its connected to an official apple wireless charger/magsafe when it’s not

"making the ios think its connected to an official apple", this requires a kernel hook or modify kernel code memory or sth.(this kind of logic generally implemented in kernel or hardware, not in userspace), at least jailbreak. Apple itemself definitely won't expose any interface to fake that. So PongoS is still required, but PongoOS can only work with model <= iPhone X. So my conclusion is still impossible.

Ok bro
