Those "fast charging" apps do not increase charging rates or bypass protections in any way. They simply work by reducing consumption, e.g., by temporarily suspending background apps, disabling WiFi & Bluetooth, reducing the LCD brightness, etc.

The actual battery charging logic is managed by a dedicated IC that's hardwired for thermal regulation, over-voltage conditions, etc., and thus these protections cannot be removed via software.
