Guys my charger is give me 1.1 A it's normal? it won't damage my battery?

No, it won't. Don't worry. Almost all modern devices limit the amount of current they can draw from the power supply in order to protect the battery and the inner circuits. If you plug a 3A charger to a phone that limits the amount of current at 1.5A, it will charge at 1.5A. In our case, the limit on M4 Aqua is 1.5A .
By the way, i use 2.5A charger, from the start when i bought the phone, more than 6 months ago. Battery life still the same for me.

I tried to use iPad charger with 2.1A to charge HOX+, but it just doesnt work. Phone detects it like USB charging and you get something like 500mAh charging. Same for regular iPhone charger (slim one). HTC has some modifications on their chargers (think crossed data lines or something like this), so I get AC charging only with original charger and one fake copy of Apple charger from DealExtreme, which charges AC but also distorts touch screen while plugged.
Its great to use these nonstandard modifications which forces users to buy branded stuff for double price, wonder why HTC is in red numbers for some time...
Why would you want to rapid charge your phone your battery will degrade twice as fast

2.1A charger wont charge phone with full power, internal phone logic doesnt allow this. But advantage of using stronger charger is that you can charge phone with full 1A and still have some room for more when phone is under load and take more juice. At least this way it worked for me on iPhone, but Android devices have more limitations and HOX+ from what I found out is disabling 2 cores and limiting remaining two to 1,6 GHz while on charger...

Probably disableing 2 cores so that the phone wont overheat while on the charger.

It will damage it over time, just dont.
I felt that the stock Sony wall charger was not performing as rate 1500mah.
Z ultra has a 3050mah which means that the 1500mah charger will need like max 2.5hours to full charge the battery.
But mine need more tha
n that.
So i use an amperage meter to measure it and found that is just 900mah/1500mah.
I tried my S4 charger and is rated at 1300mah.
In this measurement i used the same Sony cable which is connected to my Z Ultra.
Did anyone here have this issue too??
I'm using the magnetic dock, and i'm getting everything between 800-1300mAh. It takes around 2 hours to fully charge it.

I am using an app called battery monitor widget and I am experiencing the same thing. Normally seems to charge between 800-900 at best I have seen 1100 but never close to 1500 or so.
I am planning on getting the "quick" charger to see if something is wrong with mine.
This is using the stock cable, if I use a different usb cable (thicker even, will not even get to 500).

I think its normal because it is within the usual efficiency number I got about 800-1100mah with mine on battery network widget. With samsung 2.1 amp charger i got max 1500ma.

I've found the stock charger that came with my phone doesn't charge very fast anymore. It will sit around 1.2a but with a new charger with a rating output of 2a I've been getting a charging rate of about 1.9

Unless you are running a custom kernel with fast charge I think the phone will not charge at 1.9a unless the screen is off.

How do tell what amps it charges at? All I can find is what the voltage, using 3rd party apps from the play store of course. My phone charges incredibly slow. Especially if I'm using it during the charge cycle. Hours can go by and it just sits there at 5%.

I'm on safe strap so running a custom Kernal isn't possible. I'm guessing I'm seeing the 1.9a when it's initially waking up from the screen off. I've tried the stock cable, as well as the Amazon one that is 1.9a.

The Fast Charge mode on the KT kernel has no impact on AC charge rate, it only affects USB charge rate:
Normally, when you connect to a PC, you get about a 500ma charge rate and the ability to pass data along. When 'Fast Charge' is set, you lose the ability to transfer data, but the 500ma restriction goes away. In practical terms, it means that you should see between 700ma and 900ma as a result.
w/respect to the OP, my experience is weird. When the device was new, I got around 1800ma on stock charger and cable; now, same setup gets me 900-1200 if lucky (even with new battery). When I tried the stock charger with a different (newer) cable, I get around 1600. It's strange that a cable's ability to carry a charge would degrade so quickly (if that's in fact what's happening).
I have no proof, but absolutely believe that kernel can influence max charge rate, because in the past, I've observed max charge rate drop with the release of a new kernel version, then go up again with another release.
Samsung did slow the charging rate in one of the OTAs. People had been complaining about the phones getting too hot.

What are you using to measure that? Qi isn't capable of charging at 1.9a
The galaxy charging current app..
So you've noticed that sometimes your phone seems to take forever to charge, and other times it seems to charge fine? Let me share some ideas that I've learned through lots of research on this exact subject last year...
I have used the galaxy charging app myself. In my opinion, CurrentWidget is better...looks cooler too. Ha.
So other than software related issues, you need to remember that the speed in which your phone charges is highly dependent on the hardware of 3 things:
1) Power Outlet (including power strips, extension cords, USB extenders, etc.)
2) Power Adapter (I highly recommend Anker's products!!!)
3) MicroUSB Charger Cable (if not using the factory Samsung cable or an Anker one, be sure that it's an 11-pin microUSB, and NOT a 5-pin...they look the same!)
Power Outlets - I know for me, if I use the outlet in my livingroom, it takes SO much longer for my phone to charge than it does in my bedroom. Just try this test! Grab that CurrentWidget app from above and try out some different outlets throughout your house, just to see whether or not the voltage varies. I bet you'll see that this is true!
Power Adapter - You should be using either the factory Samsung charger or a reputable 3rd party charger with the equivalent specifications (5V & 2.1A). However, I actually prefer my Anker charger over my Samsung one! If you're finding that you can't get a good charge, try swapping out your adapter with another one.
MicroUSB Charger Cable - As stated with the power adapter, you should also try to stick with your factory cable if possible. HOWEVER, I have found that to daily connecting and disconnecting of the cable with your phone, they probably receive the most wear and tear of anything else, and therefore may need replacement after some time. Again here, I find that using either my Anker cable or Samsung cable will give me the best charge. This is determined by both the CurrentWidget app and the amount of time it actually takes to get a full charge! Keep in mind that using USB extender cables can drastically lower the voltage to your phone - thus causing a very slow charge.
So basically, I know if I need to charge my phone as quickly as possible, I know I should clear my RAM and recent apps, put my phone on airplain mode, and using my Anker charger, I plug-in at the outlet near my closet door! I figured this all out by using these same ideas I just shared with you! Hope this is helpful!
If you can tell the difference between outlets, you need to call an electrician. Not kidding.

I doubt that's entirely true. I mean, think of if they're on different circuits, that kind of thing can vary...also, depending on what you have plugged into your outlets can cause lower outputs I'd assume. I'd bet if you used the app I referred to and ran a test at each of your outlets, and reported back here (being honest of course), that you'd see some differences. Anyways, that was far from the point of the post. But thanks for the insight!

The Samsung power supply is rated for 100 to 240 V @ 0.5 A input. It may be that the power supply is kind of crappy, and varies its output under small variations in input voltage, which is why you see what you see. It really shouldn't...but it wouldn't shock me if it did given that its made for $2 in China. Makes you wonder what would happen if you plugged it into a 240V source. When my wife went to Malaysia last summer to visit her folks, I just put a US to British transformer-less adapter on her Motorola brick and it worked OK plugged into 240V. Maybe the Samsung ones are crappier?
I squared R losses should be reasonably low in household wiring. NEC is 5% drop max at the outlet. And that is like the outlet the farthest from your mains under full rated load. Assuming you live somewhere typical, your voltage at the panel will be 120V+; a lot of time its a few volts over 120. If you have an outlet that is not tripping a breaker go below 100V, you have a problem somewhere. A 20% drop is not normal. Have you put a meter on the outlets with low charge rates?
My friend's OEM s4 charger charges at 1900 ma while my OEM charger only charges at max 1200... Weird how that happens but somehow the cable just stops charging as fast.

Since this charger only draws 2 A at 5 V, it must be substantially slower than a wired connection, since quickcharge supports up to 3 A. Does any company make a wireless charger that operates at a higher power level for faster charging?

I did some further digging. The Qi standard supports up to 15 W and supposedly the S7 is able to accept 15 W. A few companies have announced 15 W chargers and some are already shipping.
From what I can tell the way this works is there are two coils in the base and two in the phone, 5w each. I have seen a few 3 coil on Amazon and Ebay but I don't know if the phone can actually use it, seems like it would need 3 coils.

I am pretty sure the phone can't use 3 coils, more than one coil is used in chargers to gain a greater sweet spot to charge on.

Sadly, from what I noticed, it takes a while to fully charge. USB is for sure a whole lot faster than using this, but I like it because my phone is just flat on it, don't have to worry about dropping the phone and it bending the USB connection inside the phone.

I noticed again that the charger will draw either 2 A at 5 V or 1.67 A at 9 V. The latter is a quickcharge voltage. Did you try it using a 9 V charger? Maybe it does support 15 W wireless charging.
I used the ampere app to see what was the charging current... I checked because the phone was too slow to charge after b140 update... The app showed the following results...

That depends on what you want and on the behavior of the Honor 5x if it is charging faster.
I don't know about Honor 5x and Qualcomm charger, but most devices when they are charging faster they also are discharging also faster.
I noticed this with a BT headset which was given for 8 hours playtime and when I did charge it on a "fast" plug (2.4 A), it was charging very fast but the playtime was much shorter by about half. So I had to limit it to a 2.1 A or 1 A plug to keep the 8 hours+ playtime...

Try this app to measure charging/discharging current: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slash.electron&hl=en
Stock charger that came with the phone charges at around 900ma to 1200ma for me. Average is 1000ma. Stock charger is pretty beast. It would be really nice if someone found out how to enable quick charge 2.0 on our processor. See this thread, which is a damn good thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/enable-quick-charge-2-0-t3374753
Also the Ampere app seems to be decently accurate.
I use a usb current meter to measure the charge rate rather than any apps. It doesn't draw full current when the screen is on. On the current meter it show the phone drawing around 1.86 amps from a 2.4 amp charger. Obviously a lot faster than the supplied charger. I don't understand why it wasn't bundled with a 2 amp charger.
