Battery drain issues with this ROM?

OK, I've read through the FAQ, I've used both kernels (SAUROM's and Da_G's OC), I've reloaded the ROM 3x, and I've eliminated any apps that I can think of that use up a lot of battery (including freezing apps like Social Hub)...but, I'm still losing battery at about 1% every 25-30 mins. >_< I'm seeing a lot of posts where people are getting 1%/hr or better...I'm nowhere close to that. ;_;.

I've completely drained the battery, then full recharge > wipe battery stats...3x, so I'm pretty sure it's not an issue with the proper display of battery-% (I'm not an expert, by any means). I even tried freezing all apps tied to Google Maps (infamous battery hog app), and it's still the same. @_@ So...I have no idea where the drain is coming from; battery usage of course says that the majority comes from Display...which I have off probably 95% of the day.

Can anyone give any advice for this issue, such as how to better improve the battery life (outside of charging it constantly throughout the day...-_-)?

Maybe there's something that I'm missing. I thought that this ROM was supposed to significantly improve battery life, but I seem to be getting less. =/

Any help is greatly appreciated. :confused:

Also, I'm still confused as to why when you use the kernel fix that it auto-reboots at what appears to be the beginning of the install. Can anyone confirm that that's normal? Or is supposed to stay in CWM when loading the fix?

Thanks again, y'all.

I just flashed to Saurom ROM and flashed the Att fix as well. All is good, with one small exception... my touchscreen sensitivity is not working on the bottom part of my screen. I head there is a fix for this, but cant seem to find the info. Can anybody help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] circuit.007:
I used to have that decreased sensitivity in the bottom part of my screen to. I tried to re flashing but I never found a fix. I went back to stock rom and it was fixed. This rom was great but I could not keep using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tenacious--M:
Is there a list with the custom apps or a link to the apk's that come on the Rom? I deleted a couple and want to get em back....

The two were phone apps (one was an in call app, not sure of the other, they both have phone icons) can anyone tell me the names of those two apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
SMS Popup, On Call End, BLN Control - free, JKay Deluxe Settings, Mi Locker, Photo Editor, Tags (for NFC) and that's all I can think of.

Running Saurom as IMHO it's the most stable (at least for me). Currently on the Original ATT Modem - would there be any advantage to flashing UCLE2?

I cant seem to get data to work on my phone with this rom using straight talk? What do I need to do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TJBunch1228:
Try Googling the straight talk APN and input it into the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rnp614:
Yeah I put in the APN that they gave me and its still not working even after restarting? I got it to work on the stock rom no problem...agh. I loved the snappiness of Saurom. I had no idea what I was missing.

Soft Rebooting randomly

I really like this rom but my phone randomly reboot itself after I installed this rom. I installed DA G kernel and also used kernel fixed. I am also using SetCpu to overclock to 1.8. Do you know what might be the reason?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
Anything higher that 1.83 OC caused mine to reboot too. Sometimes some phones will only get into the 1.7 range. Try a lower OC setting and see if that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] knozturk:
What about the minimum you are using when the screen off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dakleenupman:
I use 192 as lowest on either smartassV2 or on demand.

Notification volume

Something that's been really bugging me is that when I used the volume keys to change my ringer volume, it does not change the notification volume. I can't seem to find any settings for this either. Any ideas?:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbuc:
We done here?

so, with ICS ROMs based on the AT&T ICS release being out, is this ROM development dead?

Got to say I enjoyed it, it was my first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbuc:
Are there any ICS ROMs with call recording built in like saurom.

Jkay is pretty nice too, but I can live without that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Now...i'm not certain if anyone is even looking in here, especially the OP...but I just want to say.....

Of "all" the roms i've used in the last 4 months...(all of them)...this rom, is by far better than ICS, and likely better than JB too.

In my mind it is the difference between a honda, and a '66 chevelle....

gingerbread, when set up properly, will out perform the later, larger builds in every area.

At least on my device it does, and i've flashed a few roms......100's of times on 8 devices i've owned.

DAG, many thanks brother, for what is obviously a labor of love....I'm going to keep this old GB build running, because it's just dam good !

This rom is a bit tough to get started, but once it runs, it's perfect on the road, and fast as hell...

THANK YOU !!

Just like a chevelle.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] docfreed:
Couldn't agree more - I have flashed just about everything and always come back to Saurom (although I have tried Manelscout4life's Kanged JB ROM which IMHO is the best JB [or ICS] out there).

Just one question - what's the best modem for Saurom - whenever I restore from my Nandroid backup, it remains on baseband UCLF6 - would reflashing the UCLA1 moded make it perform any better? I am not in an LTE area yet.

I always run the UCLA1 modem with the GB roms. As it always works good.

But i've also used it on ICS with good results.

And comparing the UCLF6 modem, to the UCLA1, given the same rom, I find very little difference, if any...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbuc:
Saurom has been the best ROM I've used as well... I follow here just in case anyone finds something as good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbuc:
Seen people asking for votes on the roms at the op. Saurom is closed so i can't. So i gave this one 5 stars.

Anyone found any roms better? Or even as good?

Call Recording required. I can fake call block.

What have you done with Saurom? Kernels , themes, etc.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbuc:
I've given up in ics roms, trying jb now. Still using saurom as my daily driver. No random reboots, or flickering screens. Saurom just works. Better features too. Some tasker stuff is supposed to work with ics.

Multi-DPI issue

I find this ROM to be faster than Android 4.x, so I'm posting in this really old thread.

The only issue I have, is that when I increase the density on the phone via build.prop, the system menus are not affected, remaining ugly large. The clipboard also shows large, and truncated. I assume this is the "multi-dpi" feature at work. Anyone know how to disable this?

ps. I did a search for "dpi" on this thread, and it turned up 5 results that didn't help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mraeryceos:
Through previous experience, including this one: I am never quite happy with a customized operating system. I would rather start with a barebones operating system, and be taught how to make the customizations myself. That way, I can choose piecemeal what is important to me.

If I were to make a custom system, I would start the installation by giving choices about what to changes or additions I want. Then I would have an app within android, that would let me add or remove the same "components" to the installed system, in case I changed my mind later. I'd keep in mind not to make the choices too numerous, as this deters some people, and I'd have documentation about what each change is, and how to implement them manually.

Of course, to do all that, I'd have to make the custom rom my full-time job :)

I have an issue with docked sound.

I have an OEM car dock with AUX out. It's supposed to do audio through the USB connector.

When i dock the phone on your rom, it recognizes that it's docked, and car mode pops up, and it charges through the USB port on the dock, but it doesn't seem to route audio to the USB port. I have to plug the AUX cable into the phone itself, instead of the dock, to get audio from it.

I haven't even verified that it works with the stock rom, so if it's not a known issue, or a case of "Oh I modified these docking related files", let me know. I'll flash a stock firmware, dock while running logcat, then restore your rom and do the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gubbilo144:

give as many details as possible.

as posted in the dev thread I connect to LTE, wifi, 3g+ all with no issues in an LTE area by simply using apn back up and restore to back up and restore the apns...just like we did on the skyrocket

Can't seem to find any details other than peolple freaking out that supl is not listed in the type field...

we verified months ago that this has no affect on the ability to connect to lte or 3g+ etc...

Have been running rogers roms on our skyrockets since December with no issues and now on my note with no issues.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
It pulls the information fine for me...am I missing something?

for example

I don't use beautiful widgets..I dloaded it, turned off wifi, deleted default city information and chose geoloacation. ...it pulls the current city and weather information just fine

even put in another city 40 miles away and it pulls my current location and weather

the phone keeps rebooting into CWM recovery...Can't get out T_T

Hi all,

Let me start by saying I am no expert in any of this stuff.

I rooted my galaxy note, flashed Sauron Rom up to RC4 and was fine. And then I wanted to use Long press back key function, but this time, instead of "power off" first from the phone and "pressing volume down and up and power button" to access CWM recovery, I chose instead "Recovery" option to shut my phone and boot into CWM. Now, my phone keeps booting into CWM recovery mod no matter what I do with it. I erase/factory reset, wipe cache, delvik, even restore to old rom several times. However, every time I choose "reboot system now", it reboots then comes right back into CWM recovery mode. Please someone help this newbie out!!! PLEASE!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iThrive:
I had a similar issue where my device kept looping into CWM and wouldn't fully boot. The solution that worked for me was to re-flash CWM. Try that first and then if it still does not boot, then do a restore. This worked for me.

how to download zip and rar files with your stock browser

Download androzip in the market so your stock browser can download .zips, then download the Rom from your phones browser but when its done don't press it in the task bar just reboot to recovery, wipe, then flash with cwm from the directory you download to from your browser (sd card/external sd)

All you do is flash it and then manually add the APN. It takes all of 30 seconds to do.

Hmm sticky this anyone ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
DAGr8, first off thank you for everything you do, loving the ROM

there is an issue with stock that bugs the crap out of me and I am curious if it can be corrected with Development..either on the kernel side or the rom side...I don't know enough to know where the issue resides.

1. The sound over headphones issue explained here...my basic understanding is that the phone reads the notification and or ringtone incorrectly and does not distinguish that it should be played over the headphones and instead plays through the external speaker. I think this is also related.

2. Bluetooth autoconnect. It simply doesn't work correctly on the Note or the Skyrocket. Autoconnect functionality it retained as long as bluetooth is not toggled off. If bluetooth is toggled off and then back on, the saved paired connections no longer auto connect. The only way to correct is to unpair and re pair the BT device.

Just curious on your thoughts with those and am willing to contribute in any way possible to fix them on the development side of things.

thanks again..hitting you up with a well deserved donation as soon as my car is back together

I have been faithfully following the rom thread and apply all DA G's updates as needed for my AT&T note, however my full wipes / factory resets do not seem to fully wipe or reset the device.

I say this because I have been applying some battery icon tweaks once the latest version and fixes have been installed, but when I factory reset, format cache, wipe dalvik, format system, the "fresh" install still shows my tweaked battery charging icon. All the other battery icons have retuned to stock.

Is it possible the cwm flashable zip is not installing all files corectly? I'm using CWM B4 with big text.

Here's a useful way to switch instantly between two Launchers...

- Set your standard home button action to Launcher #1 (I use TW)

- In Deluxe settings, enable home double-click and point that to Launcher #2 (I use Go Launcher here)

This way you can toggle instantly back and forward between 2 completely different launchers simply by one or two taps of the home button, feels pretty slick.

Just sayin' :D
