[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
wanted to ask you guys if anyone has been using the actual hotplug feature on the kernel and actually using just 2 cores.. you know in kernel mods you can goto hotplug and under max cpus online you can set it to 2 cpus.. You shouldn't need more than 2 cores if you're just doing day to day use . if you play games then you can switch it back to 4 cores.. I wanted to see how ppl are getting for battery life with it set to 2.. thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Globalrebel:
I will do this for a few days and report back. I've been getting some weird drain lately and I can't find the culprit. I use wakelock detector and BBS, but still can't figure it ouit :(
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Damn... never noticed that before. Guess I didn't play around with settings enough. Trying it now.

Also, just tried to back the max GPU clock down to 400... When I hit apply, the setting jumps back to 487 even though it says applied successfully. No big deal, just thought you'd like to know.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
Heh. I hard coded it at that. I'll fix it up later. To be adjustable

Btw I manage to take my sisters lgog :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Lol, that would certainly explain it! Hope you left your sister something decent to take the place of her LGOG... but even if you didn't I'm damn glad you have one again!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
Well its temporary. I left her an iPhone haha. Root box installed immediately :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Pony Express:
Don't show her... you'll be getting that iPhone back !! :eek:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
Good to knowabout the max cores setting. Never saw that and haven't been getting great battery life. Will give it a shot. Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
Told her its for development purpose lol. But damn feels like a million bucks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
Out of curiosity, what are you guys getting for quadrant scores? With 4 cores I'm seeing just above htc one x scores. With 2 cores, it's below one x. Stock was far higher.

Not having any noticeable performance issues, just wondering.

Am I the only one who kind of seriously hates halo and wishes root box were without it once more?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
I love halo, it just takes some getting used to.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drock212:
Lol just don't enable it. It does take a lot of getting used to, reminds me of fb messenger but far superior.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pivotraze:
When Vanilla Rootbox says 4G, does that always mean LTE? Because it says 4G for me, but I'm unaware of any LTE in Missoula, MT besides Verizon...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
Haha you're the first to notice. I changed the h+ icons for the 4g icons. It just looks better period. I was just waiting if there was enough complaints I would change it back . if u see 4g its just h+
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dbgeek:
Oh, then never mind, it would appear that you have data connection.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
+1. Every kernel and gov combination I've tried on this device across multiple ROMs seem to ignore lots of middle frequencies almost completely. Idle on at 384, and in use either 1 or 1.5 GHz. I don't really understand the little details, but it seems to me like a governor that favors lower clocking a little more heavily might help our screen on drain...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pfoxdizzle:
Yeah no middle frequencies.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cdub50:
Anyone having MTP issues when plugged into my macbook it keeps connecting and disconnecting. When locked it turns the screen on as well when it tries to connect again. Will try a power cycle and see if that fixes it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
sorry guys, I've been so busy.. I've also got my cousin to switch his N4 over to the LGOG now. Im helping him learn all the nasty things we had to learn when we first got our device... I will have an new release out very soon.. Spring is here, and in Canada that means a lot of cleaning and yard clean etc.. I've been running an April 12th build that I have released.. I've manage to fix the PIE issue.. well it's not what you would call a real fix but since I track a lot of different sources there's only so much I can do as to different issues.. If CM has an issue and we track their source obviously we'd have to wait till they either fix it or I would have to.. but that means it'd be a lot of work trying to fix everything.. We have to remember AOSP is very new to our devices, altho it's not new to a lot of devices and yet they encounter a lot of issues. We are fortunate to have almost everything working on par.. I'm trying to make a lot of changes, and when rootbox makes changes, we end of with sometimes conflicting sources we track and then I'd have to re-edit or fix things myself since sometimes they are in the middle of fixes and the codes are half done while i'm syncing..

I would like to release the build I'm running but unfortunately with the current fixes of things the browser broke.. it force closes, but if you install any other browser from the market it's ok and runs fine.. just the aosp browser is broken. I would like to share what I've done to fix PIE tho...

First before I do, I want to make it clear that - 1. Please search, and not just our forums but others as well on some known issues. It saves me a lot of time having to search for you , and that means less time working on the rom for other more important things.. I had to search and read this temporary fix which I could of been spending it on the rom itself..

TEMP PIE FIX: after some time of search and reading I've manage to do an easy way out till it's properly fixed..

If you go to /system/etc/paranoid/ you'll find a file called properties.conf (make sure you backup before making changes)

open it up with a file editor or manager with root access.. got to where it says.

com.android.systemui.navbar.dpi=0

and change it to 1

com.android.systemui.navbar.dpi=1

.. and reboot.. now no more PIE unless u enable it in rootbox settings.. you can find that I did the changes HERE on my source github

p.s.. here's some info on GOVERNORS --- http://www.alliance-rom.com/community/wiki/governors-explained/

p.s.s - let's try to keep this thread as clean as possible so that when i'm looking for issues that I need to address, I don't have to read through a lot of useless posts when I haven't been to the thread in awhile.. I'm not saying that every post is useless, but useless pertaining to development wise.. Hope you all enjoy the rom and there's more goodness to come. . stay tuned :P

After you get it working on Slickv2, you can restore your back up, hopefully you made one, then you re-flash the JB modem and you should be all set!!

Note: When I restored my back up, I advanced restored everything but cache. Don't know if this makes a difference or not.

Working just fine for me. I use GPS Status to download satellite data, but suspect it would get a fix even if I didn't use the GPS Status download tool.

I had to create a new APN to get mobile data, but so far it meets my needs nicely.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] HyDRo1X:
I mean when there's a headphone plugged in
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Please be more precise on your first post when citing an issue. Also, give us what steps you've already taken to fix the issue yourself so we aren't possibly wasting time suggesting fixes you may have already tried. Thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] BrokenWall:
I hate to agree with him but I can confirm this is an issue. Let me give a bit more detail since this is what I was coming to post about. See when I drive to work, My deck doesn't have Bluetooth so I use the line in and plug it into the headphone jack of my phone. This is great because I can sit my phone in the console and have Pandora/Play Music/Etc playing and it works great, also if I get a call I can answer it and it plays out though the stereo and I can talk and they here me fine. I like to refer to this as Ghetto Hands-Free also I drive a stick so its really helpful and rush hour traffic.

Well I have noticed that Sound in general is softer than compared to my wife's LGOG which is stock on 4.1.2 so I had a question if we can fix this, I noticed this with headphone audio in my truck as well as the loud speaker.

But back to the call audio issue, if someone calls and I answer it while its hooked up to my stereo, I get no audio, and it also doesn't play though the earpiece on the phone. I tried disconnecting the cable and still had no success with audio. So I hung up the phone and called back with nothing connected and everything was fine. I then tried making a call on my end while it was hooked up to the stereo, still had the same issue with no audio out the headphone jack or via the earpiece.

I understand we just got AOSP and I am also probably one of the few that use this wonder Ghetto Hands-Free so I am reporting it. It has worked on all the phones I have had previously so I know its normal just may be an issue with how current AOSP roms for our phone are routing call audio when connected like this.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
To make your phone louder with a wired connection, try this: system settings > under device options select sound > uncheck safe headset volume.

This won't fix in-call audio with a wired connection but it may increase music volume on output.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Yes, photosphere works, but you need to make sure you download the correct gapps or flash one of the fixes. As for quality, I'm no camera snob. :) I've always thought it was good enough for me.

Edit: the fixes are either posted somewhere in this thread or over in the troubleshooting q&a thread in the sticky there.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] TrueShammer:
Houston -

This seems to be broken (navigation bar in ROM control). Need logs?

Also, thanks for the hard work. Halo is awesome. ROM is super smooth. I was using the smoocha kernel before, but just stuck with your kernel for the halo builds and am seeing much better battery life (and no flashing notification led or sleep of death).

This ROM rocks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
Is the data usage counter having issues? It says I've used 165GB of data in a week...thankfully ATT says I've only used 3.5GB (which is still high for me, I'll use Wi-Fi a lot).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
It's a cool concept, but I haven't found much use for it. Notification shade works fine for me. Maybe I just need to give it more of a chance.

By the way, what's the best way to backup all of my root box/aokp preferences? I want to do fresh wipes/flashes, but don't want to do 3 hours of reconfiguring each time. I'm under the impression that backing up system data in titanium is a no no. Thanks.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] putsometrebleinit:
I sure hope so because Google music and various other apps have used up about 8gb of background data in about an hour each time I've flashed updates over the last two weeks. I'm on straight talk unlimited so I can't check my actual usage but they haven't cut me off yet, so I guess its a bug.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pivotraze:
Ah darn lol. I was hoping that they snuck true 4G in on me:) lol. No complaints though lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] geokilla:
You need to read the Canadian thread... I believe I mentioned that in the Canadian thread. But ya, I prefer the HSPA icon. Also talked about the JB modem bug.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] NickS_:
Well, I just flashed this today and I have to say sir (houstonn), this ROM seems absolutely awesome so far. Best ROM I've used for this phone I think. I've been running stock w/unlocked bootloader, a kernel and root for a while because the ported CM10's were so ****ty.

I have a lot of faith in this ROM, albeit a lot of the AOKP theme setting stuff doesn't work (just FC's), I generally don't use any of it anyway so no biggie here! And all of this awesome development without even owning the device? You sir are a god.

I'll be donating very soon here, you can bet on that. Thanks again!

NEW BUILD!!!

June.15

Gallery: Filter picasa specific options

Remove menu options that don't serve a purpose due to their dependency

on picasa support being built in.

Also add in the help url to stay in sync with GalleryGoogle.

Mms: Fix 'vibrate on call' option.

Mms: Some code cleanup.

Mms: fix possible NPE

Mms: Delay unicode stripping from a message

Using an InputFilter for stripping has some unwanted

consequences. First of all it totally messes up dictionaries

for suggestions. Usually user taking advantage of unicode

stripping wants to text without non-GSM chars, but wants

to have full and correctly spelled suggestions in other apps

(e.g. email). The InputFilter approach results in having stripped

suggestions everywhere.

With this change the app strips unicode characters only for the

purpose of counting available characters counting and to convert

the text right before sending the message. This way the user

can compose messages (and have his drafts stored) with all

characters and can see his stripped messages in the conversation

history after (to be aware that it has been stripped

of unicode chars).

This makes the app behavior consistent with many popular apps

(e.g. GO SMS, Handcent) meeting users' expectations.

Patch set 2: fixed initialization order in QuickMessagePopup.java

Patch set 3: rename class: StripUnicode -> UnicodeFilter

Fix little derp causing visual bug

To reproduce, disable halo, and press "clear all notifications" button

LayerActivity: Corrected lifecycle

Should contemplate the case that the activity gets stopped

NavRing: Longpress Logic

Again, this matches shortpress logic.

(And now matches longpress logic

since this was merged on Lockscreen)

Vibrates on Longpress...

Remove finger to launch.

Framework: Collapse Shade TogglePref

Frameworks: GlowPad Torch (NavRing)

Secure/Insecure can both use this one.

PS2: Derp

PS3: Swapping to ints for ONE setting

PS5: GlowPadTorchHelper

PS6: Don't initate if FaceUnlock Active

(Camera in use)

PS7: Rebase

PS?: More CleanUP

enjoy!

How are we supposed to give you legitimate battery life feedback on 2 core operation when you're putting out updates every 36 hours! :D. I can't just sit here and not update for four days when it's there teasing me in the OP!

FWIW, smartmax seems to spend moderately more time in middle freqs with 2 cores vs. 4 cores. This is probably expected though?? Haven't had enough time with it yet to judge battery life... Initial impression is no better and no worse.

For those of you that are wondering whether we need the power of quad cores...

Playing Real Racing 3 in dual core mode @ 1.3Ghz (Hot Plug) gives the same performance as playing in quad core mode @ 1.5Ghz. And Real Racing 3 is one of the most graphically intensive games I can think of and play right now. So yes, phones are getting more and more powerful for our own good.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Clark Joseph Kent:
And for those that do not play games.....but instead run 4 different emails of social & work, texting, making & receiving calling, running different 3 browsers, XDA'ing & Moderator'ing, and Moderaator'ing & XDA'ing usually all at once, with an occasional snapping of photos...for emails and mms. And lets not forget GPS'ing...So yes when your phone is almost if not as powerful as your home/work pc....quad is good. ;)

No gaming here, don't have time.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pachezPRO:
Awesome work. No issues yet. Thank you boss!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
I don't game either. My daughter does sometimes but the tablet works better for games for her

I'm no expert but I wonder what is better. 4 cores at let's say 800mhz or 2 cores at say 1.2ghz... As in all around not just performance wise but multitasking battery savings etc. Etc etc . The whole hot plug 2 core idea is basically like eco mode really.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
My daughter also games more than I do on my own darn phone. She turned 5 today. :)

I'd have to guess 4 cores uses more power than 2 regardless of clock speed, but I'm also no expert.

A
[AT&T LG Optimus G] geokilla:
Because you run all those at once... And by at once I mean at once. And all those runs because of the 2GB RAM we got. I doubt the CPU is running much when they're "minimized."

Well you got my answer. I can try and run Real Racing in single core mode if you'd like. Btw, I still have around 15% battery life remaining right now. Been tethering for around 1.5h, maybe 25 min of Real Racing (HUGE battery drainer), two phone restarts, and light text messaging. I did some Internet radio streaming too via Bluetooth. This whole time, I didn't notice the phone getting hot like it would when in quad core mode so... I guess it does save some battery.

I think I'll run dual core mode from now on. I never wanted the Optimus G to begin with, but with that Rogers TAB error, it was too good to pass up. SGS2 will forever be the perfect phone for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jakeroxs:
Alright just flashed the newest version and seems to be working out nicely. Only issue I had was the theme chooser crashing when auto rotate was on (showed a force close after every rotation change). I got it fixed by wiping data on the theme chooser and theme provider apps with titanium backup.

Try adding:

to your build.prop, it makes a huge difference as far as I can tell.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] putsometrebleinit:
I think it all comes down to having a governor and scheduler that run the cores at peak efficiency. Looking at it from an automotive standpoint with regards to battery life and performance, a 4 cylinder gets amazing gas mileage and performance in a Camry. Put that same motor in a Tundra and it will not be as good as an 8 cylinder, especially one that switches to 2 or 4 cylinder operation when cruising on the highway, and vice versa. I don't know that that translates exactly, but that's how I look at it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
To revisit a question a ways back, how are you guys backing up root box/aokp settings when you do a clean flash? Or are you just sucking it up and redoing everything?

Happy Fathers Day!

I back up in recovery. flash new rom. then advanced restore just the data
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
I'm just gonna say battery life is good and call it a day! :cool:

I know smartmax is still a WiP. I really like it. I'll try some other govs today to see if they exhibit similar changes in behavior in 2 core mode. Seems like maybe they should. Sorry if that came across as a complaint... It wasn't supposed to, just wanted to let you know how it was behaving :sly:

Edit: few hours run with dancedance governor shows good battery life, and processor frequency state times somewhere in between what I would expect out of dancedance and smartmax on 4 cores. Thinking this might be the sweet spot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
Interesting. Wouldn't that also restore data from all your apps at the same time? I've done that with TiBu and had issues.

I would just backup/restore some of the rootbox/LGOG system stuff in TiBu, but I'm concerned that if any new settings are added in new builds, restoring an old settings backup would screw it up.
