Facebook beta killing battery on Vanilla 4.3 ?

Is anyone else having terrible battery life on 4.3? (Stock kernel)

I think I may have found the culprate(s) - I'm using Facebook (beta) and messenger and the "alarm managers" on both apps are very very high compared to my other apps... Is this normal?

Or are people without Facebook having less success with battery as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gt5oh:
Interesting idea for addition to rom if possible:

What if the Notification bar was on the bottom of the phone and you swiped up, it would roll the bar up from the bottom and down again, making all buttons within reach of the thumb.

As phones press on to 5" and up screens its harder (with one hand) to reach up top to swipe down and control settings without having the phone in an uncomfortable position, but if the bar would roll up from the bottom, everything is in reach...

Is this something anyone has seen in a Rom or how hard would it be to implement in a rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Currently there will not be additions to MMuzzy, he is buy with a new job, vanilla builds may be updated but as to a FV version, not likely at this point. Life goes on.

spunks,

I've no issues on 4.3 other than the BT headset issue I listed earlier, no batt issues either.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baldwinguy77:
Hey there, mmuzzy! I noticed that you don't receive PMs anymore, so I figured I'd post this here. It's been awhile since we last talked but I just wanted to see if you've made any progress with the Toro CDMA/3G data issue in Android 4.3. I've tried a few things but nothing has come through as a concrete solution. If you haven't figured it out yet either, I was thinking we could at least brainstorm together for a little while to see if we could come up with anything. Feel free to PM me either here or over on RootzWiki. Thanks in advance man!

Where do I find extended power menu for 4.2.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
I hate to be the one...

And God knows I hope to be wrong...

It appears (rightfully so and with all of our blessings) Mmuzzy has moved on and the likelihood of this most awesome thread in all of Smartphone moving on in the direction we dream of is not looking good.

So... since we are all like minded, meaning we are used to the best ROM from the VERY best developer in the world, then maybe we can share what we are doing for an alternative to what we really want? I know we have the Vanilla version but there are of reports of issues with data connectivity but most of all... there is the lack of our good friend supporting, explaining and updating the ROM so...

Of those who are still reading... what are you using? What is working? What problems are you having? What else are you thinking of trying and why?

(hey... you never know, if we keep the thread going... maybe the MAN will stop by and get interested and have the time to get back into this... then we could flood him with donations to cement the deal)

One thing I dig about Mike is that he is not an egomaniac and he wouldn't mind us talking about other ROMs here so... what ya doing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jon9314:
Well on his recommendation a while back I flashed FTL by the Dev that did the quick toggles. Everything seems to work well, I have had a few hiccups with my data but not as bad as I have read others having(I also haven't flashed his latest yet it might be fixed). When 4.3 dropped and our gnex didn't have blue support I was watching Carlos's thread and he figured out the commits to get it working. I mentioned it to Kev at FTL and he had a test build out within a few hours. Well all my rambling aside I think we could make that "mmuzzy fv 2.0" at least until mike has the time to come back. This thread has the greatest group of ppl I have seen in a long time, and it would be great if we all found an temporary alternative we all liked so we stuck together till our great Dev returns. OK I'm done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattman122:
Well I clean flashed the ROM and gapps and when I went to tibackup it says cannot find root? Super user says to manually re root phone when running 4.3. I cannot reboot into recovery. What did I do wrong? I have flashed 100s of ROMs and never had this issue before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaysondasher:
So I'm downloading French vanilla 4.2.2 right now. Are gapps included?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greyhd:
I had to use supersu instead of superuser. There is a update zip as well for supersu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
I'm sure you figured it out but... no.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
Did you try rebooting into recovery, or without flaming had you forgotten how without a power menu option?

(Vol up + Vol dwn + power, then select recovery)

Then flash latest supersu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Also hanging back with Mike's 4.2.2. It just works great - on every level.

Would like to move to 4.3 though, especially to see if the Trim function overcomes some of the lag on my GNex. But I don't have the time to futz with the issues many users (though not all) are reporting on the 4.3 ROM's. Hoping a ROM emerges sometime soon that has the track record of Mike's previous ROM's - by that I mean a general consensus of solid stability, easy flashing, and little/no issues. Not seeing that just yet.

Does anyone know if there is a fix for the camera yet? Mine force closes when I try and use panorama mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattman122:
That's just I it won't let me reboot into recovery. I am assuming its because I lost my root. I have tryed going into ROM manager and entering recovery that way also and it won't do anything when I hit the button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
OK, but does it give you the boot loader screen with options ? Leave it there and hook to computer and you could use ADB to push another recovery to it, then retry.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gkaurin:
Hey everyone, I posted this on the FTL and got nothing. Has anyone seen this before? I am back on 4.2.2 till I understand this better.

I installed FTL fine. But after I rebooting I am now stuck on the google boot screen. After a battery pull I butted into twrp and restored but it still won't get passed the google screen. Is this a bootloader issue? I also pushed twrp back to 2.5.0.0, think I was at 2.6.. because I found that the goomanager folder that has all my roms in it shows nothing and wont let me go back a dir after looking the dir. all other dir look fine. Manually pull all folders that i can off to my OTG. Any help would be great.

I did use the FTL build with R1

I am also going to try to super wipe and reflash back to tiny cm10.1

Edit - I ended up doing a complete wipe, and using my OTG to restore my nandroid, looked like my partitions were hosed, and lost some data in my sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mattman122:
OK I'm an idiot... You were right, I finally pulled my head out and got to the boot loader screen and into recovery. Root restored. Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demill66:
Can anyone tell me whether the 4.3 is stable yet. I've been on the 4.2.2 French Vanilla for a while (and love it), but was hoping to move up. I know Mmuzzy is out for a bit (and possibly will not return to this thread), but I think he mentioned that one of the other developers that he works with (I think who writes some on the mods that Mmuzzy uses in the French Vanilla) will be doing a basic vanilla version that is very similar to Mmuzzy's. Is that accurate. If so, who is the developer, and is the thread up yet???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yianaki:
4.3 Stable yes. Does data work properly I don't think so. Did a clean install, wiped everything 4.3 does not seem to work properly reconnecting to data or dropping down to 3g. At work I get a good signal but there are soo many people in a 20story building as the day goes on my connection gets worse and worse. Can get a data connection with 4.2, but keep on dropping connection with 4.3. I felt that Nova Launcher was a bit smoother with 4.3 the only place I get any lag, I dunno.

I think Ars Technica benchmarked the Galaxy Nexus and found 4.3 didn't make it any faster or give better battery life. Get app "Lag fix free" to manually trim your storage for the only real benefit of 4.3.

FTL ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2377071 , it still has some wakelock issues though last time i used it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_Engine:
I am on that ROM now and having no issues worth complaint. I'd say that data connection is same as 4.2 for me, which means not the best. (Really that is one reason that the new Motorola devices are appealing. They know their way around a radio stack probably better than anyone else.)

Take the plunge on 4.3 just make your back ups and be sure you read the flashing instructions as they differ from 4.2 in a few key areas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cam2:
I finally flashed the vanilla 4.3 ROM. Very nice!

Is there a circle % battery mod .zip that works on 4.3 yet? I've been searching but have come up blank so far. I'll keep looking, but I was thinking maybe someone would know of one off the top of their head.

Thanks for the work MMuzzy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoJoDaClown:
Really aching for an update to 4.3 to add the FV mods, and address data connectivity.

Love this ROM and everything Mmuzzy has done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Broadleynine:
After much debate I think I'm going to try a different rom but I do so reluctantly because, well...I feel comfortable here despite not posting much. This thread,without a doubt has the best support system between members on XDA.. You add one of the top developers to that support system and then it becomes easy to see why many believe this is the best rom for the gnex.

Muzzy, thank you for all your hard work, dedication and Jedi-level patience with us but most of all thanks for churning out a kick-ass rom!. While I hope at some point I get to try a muzzy rom on a different device that thought is secondary to wishing you well with everything and hoping your new position is your dream job

To all the modders and everyone else who has contributed to this thread and helped out when muzzy wasn't available, a sincere thanks to y'all as well. It's because of y'all that I have learned so much about Android and how to properly use the advanced search function. That said, if I run into problems flashing 4.3 I will come back here and blame every single one of y'all for giving me bad advice.

Cheers everyone!

Damnit! And I'm now flashing back Muzzy's .. I ventured away for a week, factory resetting, wiping, flashing, restoring, wiping, flashing.. gerrr!

I have been plagued with FC's, incompatibles, battery drains, more force-closes .. YMMV, but I've found nothing as clean as Muzzy's.

Big up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DavidFlory:
What did you try? mROM or FTL? Those are the two I am contemplating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thewilliams1:
unofficial CM 10.2 and the Pure Toro.. I gave those two a good amount of time to work in, but was left wanting.

battery life with the CM rom was real bad.. tried a few different kernels but nothing would help. I had 100% when I left my home, plugged into my car and streamed music for about 25 minutes while I drove to work, unplugged with about 50%.. I used to getting a few hours at worst. plus, no stock google camera sucks.

The pure toro rom was good because its got that stock google shine, but not as polished as muzzys. Lots of random FC's .. not as buttery.

what can I say .. this ROM spoiled me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Broadleynine:
My first custom rom was mROM and it was a SOLID rom. mwalt and Muzzy worked together on several things helping each other and you will notice similarities in the two roms. mROM is pretty much the middle road between Muzzy's Vanilla and FV. I moved over to Muzzy's FV rom because it had a few more mods that I wanted but it still retained the plain vanilla android.

It was because I already had mROM and wanted to try a different flavor (so to speak) that flashed FTL last night and so far it's not bad. I'm still messing around with settings and whatnot and I'm gonna give it a few days to see if the battery lasts a bit longer. I mean, I miss the few extras that FV had but FTL is also a solid rom and kevdliu is a top developer.

I will say that if FTL doesn't work out I'm probably going to flash walt's mROM because the others just seem....well kinda buggy. I hate saying that because they all put in so much work to develop roms but it's true. I just don't have the time to fiddle around too much which is why FTL and mROM are the ONLY two that I'll flash right now.

THIS!!!!

I've been running baldwinguys Shiny ROM for about a week or so with good results. I see that he put out on update to address the data handoff issues yesterday although I haven't flashed it yet. But I haven't had any issues with the current build honestly. As a long time mmuzzy user and follower of this thread it seems very similar to our vanilla build
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pkgnex:
This!

Baldwinguy's latest "Shiny" ROM, with the optional quick-settings and one-button-clear-recents mods by kevdliu, is very stable for me and completely indiscernible from Mmuzzy's 4.2.2 FV as far as I have been able to tell. It feels like I never left Mmuzzy FV, but now I have the few incremental benefits of 4.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markculton:

Plus, Baldwinguy is very responsive and helpful. He quickly answered a few questions I had about his ROM,.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Magnus_CA:
I'm using Pure AOSP now and don't miss mmuzzyrom nearly as much. It's been rock solid and I've had the most stable bluetooth experience with it I've ever had since the early days with my gnex. I miss having a power menu mod (which I think is available as a stand alone mod) but I am able to use kev's quicksetting mod with it. I highly recommend giving it a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
Did you compile it yourself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Magnus_CA:
No, sorry...I'm referring to the rom called 'Pure Toro AOSP' by error311.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
I thought about that as well, but geez ... error311 wouldn't be a name I'd pick for a ROM developer :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I might give that a go if I'm feeling spunky enough to switch from the mmuzzy ROM. Been happy with this, save for a tiny bit of lag that's been happening lately. I'm trying to track the lag back to an app... So far, no luck.

This URL didn't help me. Got any other ideas for finding an advanced power menu for 4.2.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Broadleynine:
Pure, Shiny, mROM, FTL.etc... doesn't matter much which one cause none are muzzy FV which I NEVER had an issue come up that was rom related.

I like FTL but ran into an issue where my text popup wouldn't turn on the screen and it wouldn't let me wake it up by using the power button. I had to do 3 batt pulls to get my system back. The best response to why it's happening and how to fix it was basically "leave it alone for a few minutes and it'll come back" I mean, I appreciate the help but I'm not gonna wait a few minutes.

With the three posts about Shiny, I might try that one next. If that doesn't work I'll either hit up Pure or mROM.

Dammit MUZZY! why did you have to go find yourself an awesome job?!?! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176954

I can tell you there is very little difference between mmuzzy, shiny, and my rom. They are all built from aosp with only the things needed to make the rom work right (Verizon non-aosp files, etc.) added in. I don't think any of them modify much compared to straight aosp. I tried shiny to test the data connection (still flaky like all 4.3 roms...must need updated Verizon files) and it is set up very much like roms I have compiled and mmuzzy compiled. Shiny is more actively updating his though, unlike mmuzzy and me :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnbrightblade:
Thanks for the URL. :) Regarding 4.3 and data issues, do we have any hope of getting updated radio files from Verizon? Are we screwed for KLP as well when that comes out?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Broadleynine:
walt, I mentioned on the last page that your pure asop rom was the first custom rom I tried then I moved to mROM. Both are quality ROM's and have recommended it to people on other message boards that I'm on. I went to mmuzzy's because, as you just said, his was more actively being updated at the time and I think you mentioned his rom in your thread once or twice. What does all that mean? well that I trust your judgement. I lucked out having flashed 3 of the most stable roms for the gnex and if you're saying shiny's is very similar to both you and muzzy's then that's where I'm going next

thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenstyle:
Hmm interesting.

MMuzzy's 4.2.2 FV has been having random crashes and unable to pick up a 4G signal as of late.

Thinking about switching over to Shiny's 4.3 now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billykxda:
Might want to look for other causes than Mike's 4.2.2 FV. That ROM has an awesome track record for stability and performance.

I've being using that ROM since it dropped and like just about everyone who uses it, I find it to be flawless. So flawless in fact, it makes moving to 4.3 a not-so-attractive alternative for many of us right now.

Maybe a clean re-flash?

If you really want to go to 4.3 now, I agree that Shiny's 4.3 is a great alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RW-1:
I feel bad I seem to have lucked out and in the minority, 4.2.2 was FLAWLESS once all the bugs were worked out of it and was a daily driver forever. I have mo major issues on the vanilla 4.3 at all and have been on it for 3 weeks now I believe.

Or I could say that for me at least, it can hold me until something else comes along ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnco1972:
I've been running the vanilla 4.3 of this ROM and have Had no major issues. I've got it all set up the way I like it. Unless Google drops an update, I see no reason to change ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Native89:
Same here. Been running Vanilla 4.3 for a couple weeks now. Aside from an Exchange Services crash on the first boot, I've had no problems.

I did miss the extras of the FV 4.2.2, but now that I have my 2013 N7, not so much as the tethering works just fine.

Battery life is much improved, but I'll attribute that to the having less apps installed this time around.

That being said, the crack flasher in me would flash a FV build in an instant.

MMuzzy, thank you for all your work and good luck in your future endeavors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Broadleynine:
Yeah, 4.2.2 FV was (and still is) AMAZING. If I had a problem it was because of an app or my own stupidity.

It did make it difficult to go to 4.3 and I'm thinking of restoring 4.2.2 FV for now and read up on Shiny's 4.3 because I'm just not all that happy with my current set up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vicw:
I was amazed at the stability I enjoyed on MMuzzy Vanilla 4.2.2. I was able to go for over a month with no problems or stealth reboots, that I previously had had on every Android OS and device up until then

I upgraded my GN and Nexus 7 to his Vanilla 4.3 Rom and they have both been fine. On the GN, I do notice a bit of flakiness on the cellular side, but I'm hoping when VZW eventually releases 4.3, that will improve, but it's really not major.

I wish MMuzzy all the best, but I will miss his support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flybass:
hello,

I get a force close whenever i try to update toggles in the quick settings panel mod app. Is this a known issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Ummm, no...

I (and just about everyone else in this thread) would disagree with you on that. Did you dirty flash? Are you using a custom kernel? Did you try reflashing?

Not trying to argue... but this is a very proven ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vicw:
Yes, I encountered the same problem initially on 4.3. I think the 4.2.2 version of QS was imbedded in the Rom, and it clashed with the 4.3 copy. You need to remove QSM.APK, in /system/app.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vicw:
I just bought and set up a Nexus 7 (2013), stock, rooted 4.3, and using it refocused my attention to the protracted delays I get on my VZW GN, especially going in to browser pages, and backing out to Gmail, and back to the home screen.

I suspect the difference might be the 2 GB Ram in the N7 vs. 1 GB in the GN, but I suppose hardware speed, Gapps, or less likely, the MMuzzy Vanilla Rom might be contributing factors. I'm curious if others see similar behavior, and any opinions or insight on this large difference.
