sustem usage

Hi "IAmTheDarkOne"

Sorry for returning with this question..but can you please share with us the % od system usage for battery life?

Thanks.
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
oh I see what you mean now I just used news and weather to update my info on my location without GPS based on my postal code. Is that what you mean?
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
Anything to do with battery life I really can't speak to I have a 4000Mah battery add on on my phone. All I can say is that my battery lasts 3-4 days without a charge.
[Nexus S Android Development] AllAboutTech:

From where i can buys such a 4000Mah battery add on?

Thanks

[Nexus S Android Development] Logomotph:
Yup. News and weather should be able to get location through network/wifi. Not the exact location, but an approximate one. Also, when I installed Google Now it told me to turn on google location services in order for it to work, even though they were already on :)

RecoverX

Dear Friends,

Those who are having problem about there custom recovery and unable to use it again then please use RecoverX - Recovery installer for almost all android devices .... it's a great app if you have accidently use this rom and now don't have custom recovery, Thankx to the original Upload and the Team / Person behind this great software.

Here is the list of supported devices :

​

And here is the list of the recoveries which are available :

​

This program require different prerequesties, depending of your device

- Wether you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the recovery partition (and fastboot drivers on your PC)

- Wether you need root access and usb debugging activated (if busybox is not installed, RecoverX will ask you the permission to install it).

P.S: use this software while enable android debugging from setting menu

battery

Hi guys,

i'm using this ROM for over 5h now and battery drooped from 100% to 57%

Screen 48%

Android System 21%

Is not a little bit to much battery for short among of time?

And no 3G and no WI-fi and no IM used..

Because of this..i returned to CM 10.0 from today

Thank you
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
If you think this is a daily rom, you've come to the wrong place of the internet.

Thank you
[Nexus S Android Development] BenHeng:
It is not so bad compared to others...

I like it even if I miss custom features.

Exchange service is FCing once in a while, otherwise no major bug to report ...
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
It shouldn't be running 1.3 from default it should just be runnign 1.0 1.3 is just an option you can go up to using 3rd party software to overclock as I haven't added a performance menu yet.

Install antutu cpu master and see what the actual clock speed is.
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:

[BUGS]

I'm sure there are many more bugs, but since I didn't find any list, here are a few that I came across:

- Settings crashes if you try to go to storage settings;

- Build prop must be changed, as the device is not well recognized in the play store (for instance, runkeeper and windguru do not install because of "device incompatible")

- The aforementioned glitches regarding the clock not showing correctly on the lock screen (maybe changing DPI in build.prop?)

- The swipe keyboard is missing, but I installed from compiled gapps for the galaxy nexus without issues.

Also, not really a bug but the bootanimation sucks, sorry to say it... the stock JB is good enough.

Thanks OP for the work done, keep it up.
[Nexus S Android Development] assassinoid:
Working DPI for the issue of clock is 220, so please modify your build.prop to avoid cropping of clock :)

kernel

Hi Guys,

I'll be honest with you and this ROM is working smooth but my only concern is that the battery gets load very quickly.

Can you please check this?

And what is the most adequate kernel for this 4.2 ROM?

Thank in advance.
[Nexus S Android Development] shivasrage:
Hi

I´ve the same question ....is somebody who knows if there is a custom kernel for nexus s

wich is working with 4.2??

thanks

S.R.
[Nexus S Android Development] AllAboutTech:
I've tried Matr1x v24 and vta kernel and A1r Kernel..and 4.2 it is working but battery is draining fast.

Marmite kernel v7.0.3 makes ROM crashes.

I put DPI to 220 and is perfect.

If the battery issue is resolved i think it will be awesome.

Media is 9% for me in battery. But Android System takes at least 20%.. :(

Thanks guys
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
Thanks for that I'll add it to the next release. I've remade the kernel with bigmem and voodoo colour patches applied now too however I haven't had a chance to make a new release as my time for the last couple days has been taken up by higher priority things.....such as delicious scotch whisky.

I'll make another release tomorrow with the updates. Oh and also the up to dat build.prop (setting the device to the standard nexus s settings)
[Nexus S Android Development] AllAboutTech:
updates

Man, we look forward for the tomorrow release.

Beside changing the DPI to 220 and build.dap update, can you please see why the Android System is taking at least 20% of battery?

And i use 4.2 as daily ROM..am see no problem so far once i made all these minor changes (that you'll insert in the tomorrow update). Expect that i charge the phone twice a day :)

Thanks again for this wonderful ROM and count on us to give u updates regardin' this ROM.

Cheers and a nice weekend..
[Nexus S Android Development] IAmTheDarkOne:
I just noticed after rebuilding my kernel that the OS is loading the governor "ondemand" rather then "smartassv2". It's possible that while adding that governor to my kernel I broke the ondemand one. maybe try changing it to smartass on yours and see if it makes a difference. And now that I think about it I'm not sure if this kernel has been patch for deep idle or not. I'll look into this.

Also I've started monitoring all the services on my phone to see the breakdown of what's actually using battery. Should help shed some light on this I'll let you know what I find out.

Thanks a lot for the support everyone. It's my first time working on a ROM like this and all the feedback and fixes you guys have been giving has been a great help. I hope I can get some more bugs figured out so together we can make this a really stable efficient rom. To that end I'm really hoping the next kernel release (which I've spent most of my development time working on) will help with this.
[Nexus S Android Development] madd0g:
Probably sticking to default kernel governor and posting a modified kernel as an extra would be more wise step to a clean 4.2 AOSP build.
[Nexus S Android Development] vis80k:
I thought the modded market in slim bean requires framework changes to work.

I guess I will give it a try. :)

NSTools

Dear Friends,

who are having the issues of android system excess usage then download NSTools 1.16 from the Play Store ( NSTools 1.16 XDA Information Thread ) ( BUT MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE SHOULD BE ROOTED ) and then after install the application open and close the application, reboot to your custom recovery and then fix the permission there because it is necessary to fix permission to make governors in kernel detectable to NSTools, after restart your device open NSTools and select CPU tab and there you can change your governor to smartassv2 if it is changed to ondemand somehow, and make sure that NFC is unchecked in the Setting --> More option, and then tell your usage of android system that if it is sufficient or not.

P.S: also you can underclock your CPU by NSTools from 1.3 to 1.1 or 1.0 as you like :P

Without formatting it was restarted all the time and was very slow. I came from 100.1% AOSP - 4.1.2

If your phone doesn't like 1400 Mhz, try the Trinitiy Kernel with 1200 Mhz (confirmed to work).

The only "problem" is that this kernel which comes with ROM doesnt include 400mb of RAM(higher big mem). 4.2 needs couple of mb more because its heavier OS. When marmite kernel starts working on 4.2 that will be awesome.

Currently using this ROM and modified build.prop to original credential, flash 4.2 gapps, added some more apps manually, working like smooth, no lag no restart, i also integrate SuperSU in the ROM, just only some bugs remaining, 1. Location, 2. Storage, 3. Clock Cropping, otherwise it's awesome to have it on my Nexus S, and infact the battery timing is awesome at night when i go to sleep at 3:00 AM then it was 70% after i woke up on 10:00 AM it was 64% it means 6% consumed in screen off state. i am sure these issues will be resolve very soon, keep it up IAmTheDarkOne.

[Nexus S Android Development] leap_ahead:
i wait a rom with all that you make it work better and i will try it !! i want so much :P
[Nexus S Android Development] assassinoid:
Dear IAmTheDarkOne,

there are two problems in your ROM, here under is the detail.

1. There are duplicate sounds files in your notification & ringtones folder, get rid of them and delete them ASAP.

2. just look at your updater-script here what i see.

doesn't this look like this

means permission should be set to 755 instead of 6755

so fix them in your updater-script, that's why people are unable to use SuperSU and they have to flash separate SuperSU and it make no sense if it is already in the ROM but not configured properly.

Also check your permissions again, i think there is some problems in it, perhaps after fixing that you'll be able to make a stable ROM for daily use :)

Stay Tuned for More :D
