It's absolutely normal that your battery doesn't last longer than 16 hours. Mine is empty too after a full working day. Only if you hardly use your note at all you can get several days of stand by.

The screen is the problem. That's why surfing or gaming does consume so much energy. Making phone calls on the other hand does not need that much power which means you can talk on the phone for hours and there is still more than enough energy left. At least if you hold your phone to your ears since in this case the screen is switched off automatically.

Another thing you can do is to consistently switch bluetooth, wlan and gps off when you don't need them. A lot of people complain about battery life of their note. And in many cases it turns out they constantly leave wlan, bluetooth and gps on. The solution is simple: Just hit the corresponding buttons to switch those functions when you don't need them.

Conclusion: If you use your note on a regular basis it is hard to get more than a day of stand by out of it. This is normal. Only if it does not last a full working day you should look into it to find the reason for the disproportionate power consumption.

I decided to make a recovery backup:

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.1.8

SD Card space free: 22612MB

Backing up boot image...

Backing up recovery image...

Backing up system...

full_model.bin

...so it's stuck on "full_model.bin" for ages and backup does not complete.Had to reboot by holding the power button.

I did a clean install of CleaNote 2.30 - first reverted back to stock rooted GB, flashed safe CF Kernel and did a full wipe - data, cache, dalvik and format /system. Then flashed your ROM, rebooted, did the initial ROM setup, then flashed your kernel v3b standard after wiping cache and dalvik. Everything with the ROM works smooth as butter but CWM could not make a backup. Now trying a second time.....

EDIT:

Now it's stuck on another system file: libsurfaceflinger.so

I waited like...15 minutes and nothing happens....

On reboot my widgets were gone and had to re-add them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] azzledazzle:
depending on how many apps & data you have on your phone, A Nandroid can take upto 30mins to complete.

Also, CleaNote ROM requires you to come from ICS, Which means flashing ICS via ODIN then the ROM, You stated that you reverted to GB and upgraded from there so maybe thats where your issue lies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] mitarai:
Sure, I always turn off everything I don't use, except wi-fi, because wi-fi on standby should be more battery efficient than 3G... and also saves my data plan and is faster. But GPS is always off and so goes for BT, I don't use them at all.

So looks like 1 day is normal so I am okay. I was just sharing thoughts. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] drkalo:
Well, thanks azzledazzle for trying to help but I don't think going back to GB has anything to do. Gavin's kernels come with CWM that overwrites current one. I have like...30 apps and here backing up just stops on one of the system files ... Could anyone with kernel 3b standard try to perform CWM backup to test this? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:

Don't worry, mate! You have done such a magnificent ROM + Kernel combo (the one from my signature) that yesterday I started thinking do I really want the 4.0.4 update only because it is the newest one. Take your time, have a rest and sooner or later Samsung will release the source code and you will have some other magnificent kernel in no time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] magxs:
I have installed directly from GB and it is all working well. In standby it is using hardly any battery. Only when in use battery feels like it drops faster than before. But is also a lot smoother and that may take more juice?

Wondering if I should go back to stock ICS and then reinstall. Would that be worth the trouble?

Brilliant ROM. Thanks Gavin.

Try to go into recovery and format cache and wipe dalvik. After that go into settings/sound and disable all the checks at the end of the page, go into airplane mode, and turn the phone off. Pull off the battery for ten seconds and pull it back in. Turn it on and wait fit everything to load. After ten minutes check if deepsleep is working again.

hey everyone.........

i have found a new kernel source dated 5th July, which is one day after the build date of the LRG 4.0.4 ROM.

There are some differences to the old sources. Im compiling it now to see if it is a 4.0.4 bluetooth friendly kernel :good:

will let you know :D

hopefully I will know in an hour as its just started compiling (30 mins) and then i gotta flash the stock 4.0.4 rom to test.

I did have my own 404 to test it with but unfortunately its on my work PC, and this is my day off......:silly:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] norrgrd:
Hey,

I was wondering if it's the kernel that decides what happens if you go into settings->power saving and check the 'system power saving' option.

I find the 'lag' that comes from this to be totally worth the long-lasting battery life you get. The only difference I've noticed is that the smoothness disappear, the phone is still working very fast. Since it's very easily accessed I usually enable it when not using the phone and disabling it when I am.

Does anybody know what it really does? Limit the CPU/GPU speeds and under volt on-the-fly? Disable hardware rendering (should actually increase battery usage)? Is there maybe any way to tweak it yourself?

Lots of questions :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DJ-Tumor:
since 404 is said to fix some serious battery drain on the note I will have to live without NoteCore EX until you find a way :(

But I´m positive you make it ;)

Keep up the good work. NoteCore is the best pre 404 Kernel at the moment from my point of view.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] brolee93:
I am ok with you :)

for me the best kernel is GAVIN dev
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DJ-Tumor:
never heard nor saw such kernel for our Note...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toofank:
you should. Im running classic rom 404. Its soooo smooth and responsive. Im a big fan og notecore kernel... but right now the most responsive solution for Note is 404 rom with rooted stock kernel :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DJ-Tumor:
6706 point in antutu are showing serious potential.

Running Crash V6.

Tweak THAT Kernel sources and we´ll be clearly above 7000 points without OC.

But more important is what toofank already said....404 is super responsive. If its really better on battery there is absolutely no reason stay with anything 403 like.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
Im regurlarly getting nearly 7700 antutu now on my 4.0.3 rom and extreme kernel with just a slight drop to 7400 on standard.

In application and real life comparisons i honestly think the supposed speed of 404 is just hype....i honestly cannot tell the difference

hi m8.

here are two screenshots of AnTuTu, I know I know, BUT :crying:

View attachment 1196421 View attachment 1196422

what I want to say is,

we have now the possibility that we can use two Roms at the same time on our Note,

only reboot to switch between them. :D

u can try a new one without loosing the the old :laugh:

have u ever think about to make a Dualboot Kernel

PLEASE

p.s. if its too tricky, or u really dont like it, is also a NO ok ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] DJ-Tumor:
Well we need to compare equal stuff.

Its not fair to compair a fully tweaked kernel plus Overclock for 403 to stock 404. It´s completely pointless!

That´s what I already wrote before.

So If I remember right...403 stock kernels had about 6400-6500 points in antutu. So it would be a mild gain of about 200 points.

Nothing you might FEEL while working with your device if you ask me. It also gives g.lewarne´s opinion a twist that there is a hype running about 404.

But I personally think a ROM is not only a kernel. A super kernel can be odd in an effing ROM.

My personal hype about 404 has settled a bit but I still have a really good feeling about 404. I can hardly recall a ROM based on a new android-milestone working that round with first release. But where are we now? How optimized is it already?

Is 404 almost completely optimized...it would be all hype and nothing better than 403. Are we at the same point like with 403 comparable back then...I´m already convinced that 404 is clearly superior to 403 and totally the way to go. Time and the devs/cookers will tell. ;)

just my 2 cents

Rodger
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
have been doing serious testing trying to get a kernel patch for 4.0.4+bluetooth.

And, in my multiple flashes, keeping /data intact (so its always the same stuff running)

stock kernel 403 = stock kernel 404 in general day to day performance, smoothness and battery, as far as i can tell.

As best I can tell the only kernel code that samsung modified for 404 was the bluetooth controls...its still kernel 3.0.15 and as custom kernels work flawlessy on 404 (other than BT of course) its likely nothing else was changed. The bluetooth kernel code update IS NOT going to provide any performance enhancements, and I very much doubt that the minor android revision of 0.0.1 change is going to provide anything significantly USER DETECTABLE on a machine with a dual core 1400mhz chip and a gig of ram. A simple analogy would be like adding 20bhp to a F1 car - its not going to make much of a difference

There is always hype about the newest thing.......even if its not necessarily better. It might have different feature, but its not necessarily better.

Dont get me wrong, I like moving forward, I even have my own 404 rom cooking right now......The problem I have is thus:

- There are bluetooth issues on any custom kernel

- There are Wifi and ROOT issues on CFkernel LRG

so if i release anything, like a million other questions already asked in every other rom/kernel thread we are going to face ENDLESS "why is my bluetooth not working" and "why wont my WiFi turn on" questions from prople who think that information from one source/thread *might* be different in another rom/kernel thread so dont bother to read the OP and just ask away.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toofank:
Here's my 2 cent. Ive tried at least 10+ diff roms for roms. and kernels. on GB it it was mostly checkrom. on 4.0.3 its been mostly RR & crisco. on CM9 its been stunner & asylum .

I have a 64gig ext sd card filled with apps. Ive swapped int with ext so i have a huge space. Ive noticed that with almost all roms so far the Note gets less responsive after i restore all my apps/games after flashing a new rom.

But with this new 4.0.4 IT IS Absolutly amazing. Its just as smooth as a base firmware with no apps.

Like I said I love Notecore kernel and I belive it will kickass once you make one for 4.0.4.

But 4.0.4 is definitly much more responsive and smoother then 4.0.3. No doubt there.

and I think u guys take this antutu quadrant score thingy too seriously. Right now Im getting just below 4000 with a non OC rooted LGR kernel. and the phone is much smoother then with OC kernel and when antutu gave me 5000+ points.

oh .. btw... I get better wifi signals on 4.0.4 as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
the wifi signal improvement is likely a result of the updated LRG modem, if you are using that.

You ROM comparisons are NOT fair.....

RR and Crisklecos roms use memory tweak scripts and various system tweak scripts which I have proven actually hurt system performance - hence the lag you used to see build up over time on those ROMS.

4.0.4 plus the stock/ CF-Root kernel will not execute those scripts, even if they are there in the rom, hence the performance ruining memory/tweak scripts are not executing....and therefore mamory management is then up to the kernel, as it should be.

Any script which sets any sort of OOM object memory / level values and/or SDCARD readahead kill IO performance. There should be NO readahead on any NAND flash based device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] shaolin95:
I did two 4.0.4 Roms...no difference to me after testing and with the OCed kernel the comparison is not even funny. Not sure what you use but in my phone, there is no comparison between 4.0.4 stock and Clear Note 2.3 with the OCed kernel and I am not talking benchmarks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] g.lewarne:
yes, and my point will be proven tomorrow.....

once again for those who didnt follow my last post....

The only reason your seeing better performance with the 4.0.4 roms compared to your old 4.03 roms is that all the working kernels for 4.0.4 do not execute init.d tweak scrips even if they exist. All the commonly implementd scripts hurt performance, hence the performance difference you are seeing from your old 4.0.3 ROM (yes, even mine up to 2.20)

(more specifically for the technically minded, CF-Root does support INIT.d but the kernel is not compiled for it from stock, ans since CF isnt actually modding the kernel, most init.d commands will be ignored when the script is run - check it for yourself by trying to echo 50 > /proc/vm/vfs_cache_pressure in a init.d script, reboot and check the value in terminal by sysctl -a ¦grep vm and you will see it has not changed)

Tomorrow my 404 rom will be released and ill be damned if anyone can prove significant difference in benchmarks (in all respects, not just final score) between cleanote 403 and v3b and cleanote 404 with v3b
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] toofank:
I am not a dev. so I really have no clue of all those tech stuff. I just saying stuff from a users' point of view, I mostly care for a smooth responsive phone and right now I am getting that with this rom I use (classic rom + 15 toggles).

Well, just because I love throwing fuel on a fire...

Having gotten JB on my Xoom in the last few days, I don't think I'd waste a lot of time fooling with these mini-updates when a pretty big one is coming soon. Your 4.0.3 with k3b is running smooth as butter with well functioning radios and bt, which I do use, and very good batt life. The only thing I'd love to see you (or anyone!) figure out is the dadgum l2hsic wakelock and how to definitely reduce it. I've minimized the impact, but when it (seemingly randomly) pops its head up it is a batt killer.

At any rate, primary point is to suggest everyone sit back and enjoy the great rom and kernel we have and save your energy for JB. At least on my xoom, it is a BIG upgrade in smoothness and quickness.

Just to back what i have been saying

Notecore v3b extreme

Really smooth with less lag than ever. Some neat new features, like google now, that really work pretty well. some pretty slick launcher updates, too. Will be very strong as devs tweak.

I have android products because I much prefer them to apple products for their openness and flexibility, but understand why wife and others prefer apple polish. Early on messing with it, but for the first time can see in jelly bean an os that can compete with that polish in addition to inherent superiority in capability. Quite impressed... frankly, what I hoped ice cream would be. You can really see google making progress with android, and if you think about it this os has really evolved tremendously in 15 short months.

Back to my problem with CWM not working as it should. Finally followed what azzledazzle suggested at first place - flash stock ICS with PC ODIN and then Notecore kernel with PC Odin as in OP guide (yellow triangle removed later:) ).

It appeared that all issues come from partial root. If you're coming from gingerbread (rooted) even if you fully wipe before flashing ICS ROMs with custom kernels you might finish with partial root - i.e. you can't get your /system mounted as RW. TB backups and restores user apps OK and can freeze unwanted system apps but still cannot delete system apps and CWM hangs on backing up or on anything you try to flash. I experienced the same thing with TMT ICS Hybrid MIUI. Honestly I cannot explain it to myself but flashing a stock ICS and then proceed with the desired custom ICS ROM/Kernel fixes the partial root issue.

Thanks azzledazzle and Gavin for your advices. :good:
