Make sure it's not a problem of you ROM, probably a bad tweak.

Battery drops after a reboot are normal, that's because of how our fuel gauge chip works. If you pull the battery for few minutes and then insert it again it should show the correct level.

Signal loss are not normal.

I use ondemand, so I really don't know.

I don't have issues with my ROM except those in the first post.

Just a question. When those reboots happen, do you see the splash screen (Samsung GT-I9003) or the bootanimation only? The first one probably means there was a kernel crash (getting logs for this one can be tricky, because they are lost as soon as the reboot happens).

Yeah, sorry, I noticed that yesterday and added a warning to the first post. Flash v3.1 if you need USB tethering.

I'll try to fix it, but I currently don't have much free time.

I completely forgot about it, I still hadn't tried it. I only tried zRAM, but it made things worse and didn't added the support (the option in Performance doesn't work). Thanks for the info, maybe I'll see if there's something interesting in the mainline kernel.

Nope, I didn't even notice it.

Sadly, I have nothing to easily test Bluetooth.

Sometimes a higher touchscreen sensitivity is useful, for example when hands are very cold. Anyway I agree with you, a is not always good, that's why I made it easily customizable.

I only increased the default sensitivity of the touchkeys and the sensitivity of the screen while charging (sensitivity changes while charging are not expected by DeviceParts), everything else is untouched.

On a side note, I think I'll release a new CM build soon, I just have to find some free time. I've added a menu entry in Performance to decrease the number of hidden apps (the dev option is not applied on each reboot probably and I don't want to use it. 15 hidden apps are too much IMO).

I did also some kernel changes, but I'd like to fix RNDIS first. I think I'll release the kernel with RNDIS broken, I'll think about it later.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
It took me less than expected. RNDIS is fixed (I just restored the old code. If you enabled RNDIS and the disable it, adb will be automatically disabled, as it was in v3 and older).

ROM:

Added a new entry in Settings > Performance > Memory management to limit the number of background apps. I didn't like to use the existing dev setting and I wasn't sure the limit was set on every reboot. I kept as default value 15. (the prop is now persist.sys.mem.max_hidden_apps, but simply use the setting)

Enabled a hack which lowers the memory usage of systemui. This hack is enabled by default only when the ROM is built for a s5pc110 device (aries, crespo...). (probably useless, I didn't check)

Moved "dim behind expanded panel" to Settings > Performance, I didn't like where it was.

kernel:

Re-added a C flag lost during the upgrade of the pvr driver (it could increase the performance).

Fixed RNDIS (I restored the old USB code [1])

Memory compaction when a process is killed (I didn't notice differences)

Downloads:

[1] The main reason why I got rid of it in the first place was to update our current drivers. I did it, but USB stuff was buggy and didn't use it in qwerty.

Not a big release, but at least RNDIS is fixed.

i flashed the 4.1 kernel but it shows #1 rather than earlier #4!! why ?? isnt it supposed to show #4.1 ?? :confused: Just asking !:D

Edit : IDK but i found battery better in the new version.earlier when u used the phone it drained faster but not now :D

I am in Love with this Rom :thumbup::rolleyes:

So, in v4.1 usb thetering is working as the rndis solved?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
dear loSconosciuto, its not a reboot, phone simply shuts down, without any splashes or other animations or logos.

and second day on ondemand - no reboots or shutdowns. and 2G mode works alright.

so, in my opinion, smartassv2 is some kind buggy..

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ottonet:
I had some very similar problems in the recent past.

I suspect that games such as Ruzzle (both free and paid version) do have a negative effects on our phones.

I noticed that when playing ruzzle on 3g connection the battery tend to get drained in no time, and the display reading becomes very inaccurate. For instance, you believe to have 50% of battery left and suddenly the phone blanks out. At reboot it would be reading something like 10% or less, or it could even not turn on at all.

This had been happening with stock rom, and with Qwerty Kernel 3.1, ROM 20130407.

In addition, a very worn out battery (put it on a flat surface and spin it, if it spins, it is swollen, and must be changed) could present very similar symptoms.

Basically, the problems that you refer are not typical of a certain ROM or Kernel, but can happen in many different cases.

I am using Qwerty Kernel v4.0 Rom 20130425 with SmartAssV2/SIO.

Have been browsing the internet, backing up things, applying themes, playing ruzzle for more than 1 hour yesterday night, and my battery got down from 66% to 0% in three hours, which is not uncommon, given the stress I put on ROM and display, though, the consumption curve had been very regular, and no blank-outs whatsoever.

Just tip to Gamers. Most of known tips but still posting.

As our phone has not much free RAM on JB & ICS and also lower GPU.

-- If Internet Connection is not needed to play game than disable Wifi and 2G/3G while playing games. Due it games lag very much because due to net connection it tries to popup other Ads and Offers etc which cause terrible lag. Which may be reason for battery drain faster while playing game.

--Set CPU at Higher (Max 1200)when you playing high ended graphics games because some lags on 1000 Mhz but do not lag on1200 Mhz. As ie Subway surfer Sydney plays well on 1200 Mhz but lags on 1000 Mhz.(Just example may be not same for all)

-- Before Starting Game Clean some ram using any task Manger or Killer.

As Newer Android version dont require free up using task manager. But i suggested to kill unnecessary task and app you are not using right now it will free up your RAM and increase performance and reduce lag at certain extent while playing game game. Also some game requires minimum RAM to start otherwise it will force closes

-- set schedulers and governor as your wish. Mine Favourite ondemand with noop or deadline.

Many thing can be added will EDIT this post if found something new.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] simratcs:
Yes.i play with smartassV2+sio.i find it the best for me and it offers good battery life with no lag at all ! :)

I continuously read about flashing issues. No one posted about them here, but I want to ask you something.

Did anyone try to flash any of my builds directly on top of a stock ROM with no wipes/formats etc? I mean

exactly

: reboot recovery > flash zip > reboot system, no other passages.

If yes, did you encounter any issue? Like being stuck in a sort of flash loop, where recovery keeps showing an error and the device is immediately rebooted?

If yes, did you flash the ROM from the internal memory or the external SD card?

I'm specifically asking about my builds over a stock ROM (or any other ROM using BML).

I'm asking 'cause it happened to me once, found the cause and tried to fix the problem. However I can't remember whether I tested the changes properly or not, I made the changes months ago (1, 2 and 3).

Thanks.

PS: avoid formatting /system, it's not required. It's done automatically by the updater-script of a properly packaged ROM and if you do that you can end up with "assert failed" error white flashing ROMs (not necessarily).

That's very weird.

Yes, it's normal. Look at the build date instead.

I try to make that number match the release number of qwerty only when I release the kernel as "stable". In any case that number is meant to be an integer, that means it will be #4 in the final version.

Re-read my post. The option is still there as it's a standard Android feature. In my previous CM build I modified it to allow more hidden apps. In this build I instead added another option.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] LoLaTiOn:
If a person goes MIUI or just an earlier version Froyo GB

I can ensure guests there is still gapps and create a conflict

Never seen this problem on CM but it is to say that there is always an exeption

The worst case and format as EMMC also for not having to worry

google is very smart lol

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
Now I understand why you need to format /system.

The problem is that you are using stuff meant to be used with CyanogenMod only.

As you know, gapps is not included in CyanogenMod. Instead of forcing users to flash it everytime, there were added some scripts which automatically backup and restore it while updating the ROM.

This is a CyanogenMod thing and not meant to be used with MIUI. I don't what kind of gapps MIUI uses, but I've just downloaded an official build and the script I'm talking about is not included.

If you want to keep the compatibility with the updater-script used for CyanogenMod without breaking stuff, you can replace all the content of /system/bin/backuptool.sh (inside of the zip) with something like:

#!/sbin/sh
# this is a placeholder to keep the compatibility with CM updater-script

Or keep suggesting to format system. If someone will report an "assert failed" error while flashing your ROM, most likely the cause is the lack of /system/build.prop.

Anyway, I said "properly packaged ROM" for a reason ;).

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
Thanks, I think I know what's wrong: /sdcard and /emmc are not mounted automatically, hence after the reboot the zip is not found.

I made a new build, it's exactly like the last one with the above issue fixed, I hope. Nothing else was changed. There should be no more "flash loops", if the zip is not found the flash is stopped and you have to restart it manually. This shouldn't be required though.

cm-10-20130429-UNOFFICIAL-flashfix-galaxysl.zip - 163.80 MB

I'm sorry, but I don't think our phone is capable of keeping in memory all those apps, especially the browser. I have some app reloads, but they are not frustrating. Probably you multitask more than me.

I don't think that increasing the number of hidden apps helps. Try lower values, like 8/10, tick "Allow purging of assets" and enable KSM (more free RAM at the cost of additional CPU overheads, I'm still testing it).

zRAM is not enabled at kernel level, it doesn't matter what you set, it won't work.

Why would you do something like that? You don't have to restore or wipe anything, just flash the zip and reboot. If you think it's not safe enough, take a backup and restore it in case something goes wrong, not always.

You need to be more specific. We have two internal memories, one is used to keep the bootloaders, kernels and ROM stuff, the other for user data and internal SD. The second one is known to be faulty, it breaks with no reasons. You are probably referring to the internal SD (I couldn't fully understand your post). If your apps, settings etc are not lost after a reboot, then your memory is not damaged, but there's something wrong with the partition used for the internal SD. Try to format it, don't ask me how to do it.

I'll see what I can find. I honestly never looked at this issue, especially because I don't have a bluetooth headset.

Let's see what happens with no noise reduction. I don't think this is the problem, but let's try it. Maybe there are issues with the connection to RIL.

The sampling rate is the same (/system/etc/audio_policy.conf). I think the problem has something to do with RIL.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
Exactly.

I tried it long ago, didn't like it that much, disabled it again and forgot about it. The setting is there because of a wrong assumption, but it shouldn't be visible. I probably tried zRam all together with other changes I then dropped and maybe the bad results I got were caused by those changes.

Adding the support is not that complicated, especially when there's a patch ready to be used ;).

Kernel changes:

Added zRam driver

ROM changes:

zRam disabled by default

No more flashloops (to be tested)

Default number of hidden apps lowered to 10 (I think it's a good compromise)

PS: If you are using my builds, you don't have to wipe anything. Just flash and reboot.

PPS: You can flash just the kernel, I uploaded the ROM cause it costs nothing to me and if you are going to flash this ROM over something else, it's nice to have everything packaged all toghether. EDIT: I've just noticed that Trebuchet has a new feature: homescreens lock. That's the only change besides the default values.

PPPS: I didn't include my custom DeviceParts and fix_mac.sh in the zip of the kernel. I assumed you already have them.

I tested them with your experimental release (ICS alpha-something) and with the 3.0 kernel, but I couldn't stand the tearing issue.

I tried different panel timings (3.0 kernel), but I couldn't find anything satisfying for my Hitachi panel. I actually got rid of the tearing, but the quality of the screen worsened, it looked somewhat pixelated.

That's why I didn't even try to use them and did other things instead.

Interesting... But I still have no clues. What about decreasing this (BT only)?

I quickly checked audio paths and ioctls using this as reference and everything seems to be correct.

If you want to try some changes on your own, here you can find all the requirements.

Try zRam using my latest kernel. It virtually increases the available memory, but it may affect battery life a little and decrease the performance of the ROM.

FYI I pushed all the camera HAL changes to my git repo, branch "camera". In this way it's easier for you to keep track of the changes. They are not perfect, some changes are useless, but I pushed all I'm using. I have no time for it now...

If you could use the latest PVR drivers, maybe you could port the new OMX from 3.0 to 2.6 which may help fix the issues with low framerate video playback. Newer PVR drivers could display raw YUV format without the need of any conversion. It's much faster.
