[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Thanx for making thread with detail study, thogh i can not be agree with many of statements.

Here something i like to say

- There is nothing much difference between test 1 & 2 except you have Root and removed some applications.

So does it mean

*Rooting can improve performance - I dont think so

*Removing application just making space on system ROM, so does making room on system ROM, can increase performance? I dont think so

many application you have removed may not be activated on start, naturally that doesn't have any relation with performance, b'coz it just occupy space not RAM

Now some application which may have enabled on boot, even that gives you temporary extra RAM, As android itself have LMK(low memory killer) which auto kills background applications which is not in used - LRU(least recently used), and when there is enough RAM available, even you exit from applications it remains in background for quike reopening, that is basic android mechanism. So if your aim to remove some application to make available more RAM, it won't be fulfilled, b'coz that application will be replaced by recently used application by users till android system dont sense as RAM is full. (you ca test it - when you have many applications removed, sure you will have much free RAM on boot, but if you look again after 15 min of play with device, it will be again full, same as who dont have remove blotwares, so wat benefits we got by removing those?)

Yes atleast i can say applications which was running in background for some time can consume little juice, but if you believe me, my experience is it can save maximum 3-4%(of full cycle) nothing more than that. But performance? I dont have any logic to believe it.

-I can't comment on test 3, as i have never used any custom kernel, and leaving your opinion untouched.

-Again between 2 and 4

yes you have also not tested much, but somewat if your opinion goes in favor of 4 (as you said in 1&2 responce is not good but in test 4 you saying it is OK) then if i am not wrong chainfire himself said, his kernel is complete stock (minus mmc_erase_cap command +root+su binary+CWM)

so in that case your opinion may not be placebo?

Anyway dear don't feel bad. appreciate your workout, but some points which i said dont favor me to agree completely.

Regards

I think my note must have been XXLRG when I got it but after trying to do some rooting things and bricking it, then finally loading XXLR1 (ICS) It is working great with no lag or freezing what so ever. Also have scored up to 4050 on Quadrant!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Roy_W:
I have to agree with this post. I didn't recognize any of the problems stated in the 1st option. I am currently running stock everything after having tried several different combinations of ROMS/Kernels.

There is also a lot of missing information in relation to what exact tests were performed and how they were measured : Whats apps were running at the time, were Wifi / GPS / Power Saving active, what was the state of the battery, how was "lag" measured, what brightness setting was used, Was a good 3g station nearby or was the telephone continually searching for a stronger signal, etc etc etc , The list could go on eternally.

As for anything batttery related, I do not understand how tests can be performed that have not been run over a relatively long period.

There are far too many parameters and options possible, that it would appear that the tests are merely personal interpretation.

I appreciate that you have taken the time and effort to do the testing but I am not convinced that the results can be treated as anything other than one persons thoughts at a given time.

I think that you can only perform these kind of tests when they are performed "identically" on a device that is reset from scratch and that the tests performed are measurable with precise calculation rather than the human eye/sentiment.

It is an almost impossible achievement outside of a qualified environment with a very strict set of controls.

Can the results be reproduced, is there any possibility that the results could change, would a third party be able to reproduce the same results ?

Unless of course detailed results and calculations are actually available, in which case it would be very interesting to be able read them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phenryth:
Hi Dr. Ketan. Again, thanks for your guide, test 1 & 2 was done following it :)

Do not worry, I won't feel bad about your feedback, as for the previous one.

For sure, I think you and Chainfire knows that type of things better than me (no needs to tell why ^^), just reporting here my feelings over my tests.

Think the same.

Removing samsung apps does not affect that much battery, but smoothness. I certainly wrongly express myself.

Maybe CF kernel has nothing to do with it since I was always flashing this and removing the hubs (especially the social one) together.

But fore sure, since my galaxy S, even on the S2, and now on the NOTE, doing this does increase system smoothness.

I do not know that much about Android memory system managment, but the first time I've done this was because I was sick about seeing these services running in background, even without ever launching them once and it does consume memory.

I believe you without any problems :)

You know the deal, 1% here and there...at the end, it saves some battery. :)

I will update my post, but I can now say that Speedmod provides better battery than Stock/CF, looking at my battery stats for today.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phenryth:
Many good hints in your posts.

For sure, I've made my tests with some knwoledge about that, and trying to be in the same scenario each time.

I will update my post towards the parameters activated and other you stated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Thanx

yes custom kernel may have improvement, b'coz that is made for that purpose, and we know developer adds some tweaks to improve performance. though i have not tested it, i can be agree on that point. but i have not make review just b'coz i have not used.

Regards.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Roy_W:
Phenryth,

I look forward to your results, the basic idea of what you are doing has the potential of becoming a very interesting article.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ThaiDai:
These are tests without any statistical significance.

So in the end your heart or gut decided. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tw15tr:
Everyone has there own view on how their phone should perform. If you are happy with it then there is no need to change it. If not then this guide provides some tips on how to improve it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
To me for the first time ever since the ICS was introduced the 1- setup is absolutely the best I have tried, and I did try all four of them including removing Samsung bloatware.

The touch response is super sensitive, the pen works not just perfect but it also marks when in a diagonal position something never happened before, my one and only complain is the same one since seven months: the lag which comes when opening the Contacts application for the first time ,which is absolute outrageous other than that I am satisfied.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
Like I always say: contrary to what most think and do, if you want the best performance and stability ALWAYS factory reset and full wipe after each ROM installation and don't use backups of apks+data.

Doing things the right way takes time, I know, and that's why I don't update often, but it's also thanks to that that I have never (Galaxy S, SII, Note, Tab 10.1") had the kind of problems folks usually complain about each time a new ROM comes out...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phenryth:
Not changing roms but only kernels.

To me, cache/dalvik cache wipe and quite the same test case is far sufficient to make an user opinion and share :)

I do never restore any backups of data, and sure, full wipe for rom installation, which was done for first test.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phenryth:
Hi Hagba,

Do you mean you test all my setups ?

If yes, maybe I should redo first test and then update if feels like.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Yes I have been testing all the kernels, and I mean all of them without to name them and the conclusion I have come that the full stock 4.0.4 is absolutely the best,as the poster mentioned above after flashing the ROM you better do a couple of hard resets to get rid of a conflict with the remnants of the previous ROM and install back everything manually.

Even reflash twice if necessary, I always do that way, I can say it again, this is one great ROM without any custom changes if anyone having a problem with it it shouldn't be the ROM's fault.

In the applications forum I have posted a quadrant test result 4700+.you can check it there in the main quadrant thread.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
absolutely agree.

I have also posted my quadrant was nearly like this, and even that time was on 4.0.3

I do always recommend to go clean.

one thing i feel acceptable is to restore user app + data, but of course even single glitch i found on any appl, i do prefer just wipe cache of that application.

and yes i never never restore any system things. like contacts/sms/bookmarks/system settings.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sitanshu91:
Dr Ketan you said you never restore settings like contacts etc

Then I would like to know how do you get those things back

My phone is non rooted and always on stock
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I get my Contacts restored through my Google or Exchange account which does it automaticaly.

And to Dr.Ketan I say thank you for your great effort and work,and want to ask him,Although my device is not rooted at the moment,last time I have rooted it with 4.0.4 I noticed that CWM does not hold there and have to install it every time,and the rooting I did it with your method.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I m not using gmail so there is no chance of sync my contact with google. But for emergency recovery i have schedule titanium backup for alternate day, but this is for emergency case when i cudn't take manual backup in case of soft brick. Otherwise whenevet i need flashing, i do backup contacts manually.with contact import export inbuilt function

For sms i do have backup to gmail

App For Emergency Recovery, Otherwise Prefers Appl Available 'Sms Backuo Restore'

M Uging Opera b'coz It Hav Auto Backup Features For bookmarks.

Yes this is normal, as this gives temporarily cwm, it gets remove on rebooting.

For permanent cwm we need to flash custom kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Ok thanks that thimg is sorted out!.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phenryth:
I think this is kernel related. As far as I know..few kernels have bluetooth working with custom 4.0.4 Sammy roms. Chainfire's and Notecore and of course stock kernels :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bjrosen:
How do you configure an Android kernel? I've checked out the omap kernel sources by doing a,

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap.git

I then did a make gconfig which is how I would normally configure a kernel for a standard Linux system. However all of the processor options were for x86, there was no mention of ARM so it would seem that gconfig is x86 specific. What's the equivalent for and Android kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] admiralspark:
There are many, many tutorials on building kernels on this site (can't link right now, on the app, but check threads I've started).

Sounds like you might not have copied the whole kernel tree either--I'd work from a developer's kernel source on github to begin with.

PM me if you have any issues!
[HTC EVO 3D] rizky14:
dear xda,

please help me,

i am confused,

if i'm reboot my phone, evo 3d CDMA to bootloader,

the bootloader status is

*** LOCKED ***

SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.50.000

RADIO-1.06.00.1216

eMMC-boot

i want to downgrade it to hboot 1.4

what should i do,

in this thread that i read before,

wrote If you're already S-OFF, but on 1.50, you can do one of two things... I have attached the PG86IMG.zip with the 1.40 bootloader on it, download it copy to sd card and flash via bootloader.

am i just do that thing to make my phone downgrade to hboot 1.4 ?

does the status bootloader LOCKED can make another effect ?
[HTC EVO 3D] super.gazu:
How did you get s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] wloftus:
probably the wire trick...

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

eobtain s-on by using the fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 command and then downgrade

[HTC EVO 3D] evo bryan:
if you are s off just unlock with htc
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Do not do this!

If you obtained S-OFF via the wire trick, it will say "LOCKED," however, you still have full control.

Follow the guide to get your device's HBOOT down if you're S-OFF, since you are.

Meh ..

Register your phone through Samsung on your PC and be done with it. It will help expedite any warranty issues you may claim via Samsung.

As far as the s-apps... its just bloatware and worthless. Disable asap. :D

Oh and always freeze, do not remove OEM apps unless you plan on never receiving ota. Which quite frankly, you should disable any ota/update related apps as well and Dl updates via our wonderful devs. Ota's are for suckers. :p

Even though it is a tegra device is an arm processor, so in theory it will work, I just hope that one of our awesome developers will take a look at the apk and or compile a version that will work.
