Just let me say, this rom is a piece of art, fast, no lag reboots or hiccups...

Wonder how much battery lasts... currently with normal usage (calls, sms, viber, facebook, web) and wi-fi always on i'm having this 1d2h at 50%

Amazing
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] S3miniFin:
My battery drain super fast... Normal usage, no wifi and power saving on.

EDIT: I had 1700 mAh battery, but no i test with original. Maybe battery is ded....
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] schismata:
You got 3G on all the time?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] S3miniFin:
Yes, 3G network is "on" all the time. But signal is not full all the time....
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] somin.n:
Here are originals apps. so you can add/replace what you want:

Email

Exchange

Launcher

Videoplayer

Just copy *.apk to system\app folder, set permissions and restart.

Hmm, did you try to install only base ROM? Try to find or extract from original L ROM boot.img file and copy/replace it in base ROM and try to flash again. No more ideas now, I haven't L version so testing is impossible for me.

Good results :good:

There should be problem with gsm/wcdma mode. If you are in place with weak 3G signal, phone sholud reconnecting to GSM or WCDMA and it drains battery... try to set "setting->more settings->mobile networks->network mode" to WCDMA only (or GSM only). I am getting 2-3 days with modarate use.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] schismata:
Mobile data is usually power hungry on any device, gps and Sync too.

That's why i tend to use wifi over 3G whenever i can.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] :
To save battery:

1. turn off gps

2. use THIS to turn wifi on/off automatically

3. use THIS to hibernate unused apps

With this method my battery hold about 2,5 - 3 days by normal use.

hi somin.n,, just wondering is this a rom or just a mod? because i can flash this update_6.zip after i wipe my stock rom without flashing your base rom but thx for your hard work..:) :good::good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] giovanni.rimoli:
Tks [MENTION=5104404]somin.n[/MENTION] , I will try boot.img of DModV6 (I know that is ok with my s3mini)...

[edit] It works [MENTION=5104404]somin.n[/MENTION] ! But I dont know how to change lockscreen wallpaper...other problem: xposed not suported. Any idea what is going on?

Screenshot:
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] somin.n:
Hi, update 6 is only update, you have to flash base rom before update 6.

Good news, but i don't have any idea, why it is working with other boot.img :D Lockscreen walpaper can be changed only if you have installed stock gallery app, probably you removed it from system\app folder, si just copy it back and it will works.

About xposed - i don't use it, but i had it installed and it was working good. did you get some error message? do you use latest version of xposed installer?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] schismata:
Maybe you don't mind but I changed background a bit for minimal look using a gray gradient, it's really awesome.

For Browser I used AOSP port, maybe you will find it useful to integrate it in the rom.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] dariofreud:
Thanks for the apk!

One question: i can't syncronize bookmarks, it's only me?

Edit:

Found solution, i needed a file to sync.

About other problems, I understand what you say, really true...Tks for the attention, but I give up :/

And the xposed works very well on Stock 4.1.2....strange.

Hello

I'm now one Faust ROM ,i have N version ,to flash you ROM i have to :

1. Backup - if i want :D

2. Do all wipes

3. Download and install - Light by somin.n for N

4. Download and install - Update no.6 i8190N (Update install as ROM through CWM ? )

???????

After flashing do i need wipe again (without Factory wipe) ?

Is there any more to do/flash or just use and testing ?

I care mostly about battery drain ,if i can stay on one charging 2 or even 3 days it would be amaizing.

I saw battery results by user "S3miniFin" and i'm under the shock . If i will can stay so long for one charging i'll never change this ROM :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] :
Install update via CWM.

After flashing no wipe is needed.

This ROM is great and battery-friendly. Just flash light by somin.n and the update.

That´s it and enjoy.

For more battery life use additionally:

- Greenify

- IC Battery Saver or Wi-Fi Matic (all on Play-Store)

HTH

Jacko
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] slon11:
Thanks for quick answer :D i know Geenify it's very usefull , happy to get to know Wi-Fi Matic, i use to Rescan Media Root to stop scanning media ,and Lux Auto Brigtness to automatic screen brigtness which help in battery use too.

Lately i download and flash and try it , full of hope :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] :
My full list of battery-saving:

- somin.n ROM

- Greenify

- IC Battery Saver

- Lux AutoBrightness

- Stop mediascanner on terminal

- installed only usefull apps ;)

Device is fast, stable, smooth and battery-friendly

Just installed update for N got no sms app? Says application not installed. No stock replaced
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] somin.n:
Hmm, look to system\app folder and look if there is file SecMms.apk... Btw, where did you get "Says application not installed"?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] slon11:
It's not what i expected so far, will testing yet :
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] somin.n:
Here is my current battery usage. If you want to try battery life, try to test it without any other "performance tuning" like crossbreeder, killjoy, taskkillers, etc... In fact, in this ROM isn't any special battery mod, but I am getting 2-3 on battery usually. Maybe you can find and flash latest modem for your phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] ykdr-scott:
When I press the sms/text icon it would appear " Application not installed " it appears to be working now though. Icon is same but when opend its stock. Ty
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] slon11:
i use phone quite intensiv ,3G is on all the time ,synchro 4 mails ,lots of calls ,almost non sms, little bit wifi but not much. In other side it's smartfon and whatever i do and whichever ROM i flash prabobly i cannot achieve more than 2 days ,i had idea to buy stronger battery (in the same size) 2400 mhz but i'm not sure that help me much

From "performance tuning" i use only greenify ,lux auto brigtness (no to save battery ,but it's very handy), rescan media root (only once to stop media scaner) and it's all.

Is it too much in your opinion ?? what should i uninstall ??

To be honest i had better results of battery life on the stock AMG4 AUT :eek:

Hi There,

Sorry I wasn't sure where the correct place to ask this questions was so happy to be directed elsewhere

I have just switched my S3 Model - SGH-T999V from Mobilicity to Rogers and I'm now unable to send a text message to someone until, wait for it..... they have messaged me first!

Once they have messaged me I am able to reply but I am unable to message anyone until they have made first contact.(Message just says delivery failed)

Can anyone help?

Sorry if this thread has been done before but im not getting any notifications at all except for calls unless i go on the app.

I downloaded the iphone notifications on the play store and thats works but shouldnt the phone do this anyway

Do you mean when you receive SMS/emails?

Messaging>menu button

I'm pretty sure there are options to tick so you can be notified on the statusbar for any received messages

And as for the emails and etc.. Go to settings :)

Hello S4 Users,

Need your advice. I currently own a ATT Note 2 --pretty happy overall with the performance and battery life but the size and difficulty with one hand operation can annoy so planning to switch to S4. Looked at the S4 in store and 5" display with the form factor seems perfect

1. Does anyone who switched from Note 2 to S4 regret their decision--Why?

2. S4 reviews with ATT seems mixed: Lot of threads about bad battery life and lag. Are majority of users seeing these issues or are they specific to certain bad devices/app issues?

any other S4 issues that i should be aware of?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azz72:
the only advace i can give you is try it urself in the store.. i came from htc and i love the S4 and wouldnt switch back.. now with the note2 i have freinds that love it and i also like it but i didnt want the 5.5 screen so i waited for the S4..with battery i have no issues last me 8-10 hrs depending how i use it and no lag on my end, fone is just awesome from what i can see..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] done12many2:
1. No I do not.

2. The Note 2's battery life is definitely better than the S4's. The battery life on the S4 is great, but simply can't come close to that of the Note 2. The speaker on the Note 2 is also louder and fuller sounding. My wife still has a Note 2 and it's obvious.

My S4 lags less and is smother than my Note 2 was. Auto-rotate of the S4 screen is definitely better as well. I like the feel of the S4 a lot more than the Note 2. The screen and the size of the phone made this an easy switch for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
Yes note 2 is a much better device imo. No phone can compare to it yet. Sgs4 lacks and screen feels very small.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] qbanlinxx:
I made the switch and I love it. Would never even consider going back. Nothing against the note 2, but imo the S4 is perfect for my needs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] trimalchioinwestegg:
I switched from an international Note 2 (n7100) and I don't regret it at all. I love the increased PPI (I can desktop view websites in landscape and read everything without needing to zoom), and the S4 makes walking around with jeans a lot more comfortable compared to having the N2 in my pocket. Also the processor speed is much faster. I notice while running Firefox Nightly. I personally never used the SPen, so I'm not missing my Note 2. Watching videos was better on the Note 2 because the screen was bigger, but that's the only advantage I can think of.

Also, I haven't seen any lag. I installed the OTA update the day I got the device, so I never saw problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sgs2_1.6:
[MENTION=2895435]sabre31[/MENTION] are you crazy I switch over to the s4 from a note 2 and loving it. Screen is just so damn gorgeous and my battery life is awsome. I could go through a whole 10hrs of work and still have 40 percent left. Trying switching over to the s4 first before making comments. Sgs4 is a beast and I am glad I made the switch love my s4 best phone hands down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Earthdog:
I too was a Note 2 owner, looking to pass it along to one of my employees. I am very happy with the S4 got 14 hours of battery use out of mine yesterday. I will say I miss NEVER having to think about the battery on the Note 2.

There is one big issue with the SG4 for me though. I MISS Scott's CLEANROM it is blazingly fast I hope he does one for the SG4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Suzook1:
Note 1 to 2 to s4 here.

Miss scotts rom but thats it. And trust me im a MAJOR fan of the note. Do it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
Lol ummm I do have an s4 and using it now. Sucks compared to note 2. Only thing it has over note 2 is higher res screen. Who cares about the specs if the phone runs like a turtle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] TechSilver13:
I bought both outright. The ppi doesn't make near the difference I thought it would. I like the notes bigger screen but like holding the s4 because its not huge if that makes sense. S4 is much better for 1 handed use. I never used my spen so I cant comment on that. 4.2.2 isnt really much different...Although I love having lockscreen controls of my media players like pandora which 4.1.2 cant do. Battery is obviously better on the note 2. Im still thinking about returning my s4 because its not a HUGE upgrade but it is noticeably smoother flipping through home screens using nova launcher which I think is a good test. 4.2.2 scrolling in other apps suffers though so there is a trade off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] artofdesign:
Ditto. The battery is a bit better then the s3 Imo. Can't touch the N2 battery, that was huge.

Ditto
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] veees.1:
Nice. thread getting some traction. As i noted earlier, i do love the NOTE2 specially having to never worry abt the battery and when i switched from Note-->Note2 had loved the upgrade. As time went by, found note 2 to be difficult to use with one hand and slightly heavy.

So looks like slightly worse battery life is the only CON BTW did anone consider the HTC ONE over S4? I liked the design but cokpared to Note2, 4.7" is just too small but would love to get some feedback on the battery life and SENSE...maybe a post for the HTC one forums= :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
I have an HTC one. I think the design and looks of the phone beat both note 2 and sgs4 without a doubt. I think the camera snaps pictures much faster then sgs4 and I couldn't notice the difference between sgs4 pics and HTC one pics. Sense is nice but more stripped down and less features then sgs4. Battery life is worse then sgs4 imo but this is typical for HTC. Although it has the best battery life from all other HTC phones it seems worse at least to me then my sgs4. I love the 64gb storage of the one also. I know they come in 32gb also. I do feel the screen is way smaller coming from note 2 but using sgs4 and HTC one it is hardly noticeable.

HTC one does have better screen look especially in outside and this has to do with lcd screen being used. However everything I try to use htc one I seem to always end up back on note 2 or sgs4 because of the home button and the capacitive touch buttons are way better on sgs4. On htc one half the time the buttons require two or three times to push to register could be my phone but drives me nuts.

HTC one also has better development and unlocked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jetlitheone:
Lol I have both devices beside me as well.

The cameras are a HUGE difference. The One takes better low light pics but the trade off is horrible I mean really bad pics in daylight, worse then an iPhone 4 (yes the 4 not 4s) The One has a more accurate screen, and 4.7 - 5.0 is a pretty big difference especially since the s4 has a wider screen, the One has a narrow screen. The s4 will become more popular with development when the bootloader is unlocked so really thats nothing to worry about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] j510:
Ok let me give you my situation. I never owned a note 2 but before my upgrade I was debating on the s4 or note 2. I was heavily leaning on the note 2 side because the bigger screen spen bigger battery and exynos processor. All I can say now is im glad I chose the s4. Havent looked back since I got it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zaures:
This is probably one of my biggest gripes about the HTC One. The button layout for me is the deal breaker. Its not just that the power and volume buttons are infuriatingly placed. But the removal of the menu key just to stick a big ass logo in the middle so you can let people know who dreamed up that ridiculous button layout.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] frankos72:
I made that switch. Other than not rootng yet I'm very happy.

Battery life isn't as good, but I really like the size. There are some new features that rock too. The camera is even better and the stock messaging app has group mms built in. Those are the two that effect me daily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] magicriggs:
What made me stay with the S4 over the Note 2... The screen. I hate the screen quality on the Note. Imo. All the pixelation ugghhh. But when the note 3 comes. Oh buddy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Nickel Dime Bay:
Having had the Note 2 and now having the One, you get used to the buttons after like a day. Its really not that big of a deal, the only thing that took me a while to adjust to was the screen size lol.

As for going from the Note 2 to the S4, you should be right at home dude.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jev3gs:
As a current Note 2 user that has 2 upgrades available the S4 is better than the Note 2 in almost every way hardware wise. It is the software that is stopping me. Hardware is great but software means more to me.

Once these things are done below on the S4 I will be getting the phone myself:

1) Bootloader unlocked

2) Compatibility with Sixaxis app (I have the game clip and LOVE IT!)

3) Black crush fixed (it is what drove me away from the Note 1 because I watch a lot of shows on my phone)

Especially with the S4 Google edition coming out now the S4 could the next Captivate :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AutoUnion:
I own both. S4 has a better screen. Nothing beats the Note 2's battery life.

my experience switching

i changed my titanium grey note 2 for a dark s4 anyways in size for my hand its great i have a big hand soo note 2 wasnt much of a problem but s4 its more comefortable but sometime i miss my old note because i had it with jedi x rom its the best rom more stable and user friendly out there because att stock rom suck plus the battery on my note2 was better that the one on the s4 all thanks to the rom the day i got my s4 i make it loose his virginity by rooting it but theres not a lot stuff for it out there i recommend to stay allitle bit more with the note soo u give a change for the developers to make some cool roms.. but talking about the s4 the ir blaster its amazing workss on 90 percent the things i have tried plus its supper fast the screen its amazing the camara is awesome but the flashlight its a little less powerfull from the one on the note 2 and the ram its always running on .93 or 1gb soo sometimes its kinda *****y and u have to close some stuff but u get use to like the phone btw dont buy a clip on cover called pt because when i bought it. i put it on and sience cant open the damm thing i wish this could help u its just a brifing of what i experienced on a week with the phone

I also was a note 2 owner. Got tired of not being able to use it in one hand... just got uncomfortable after a while. While the s4 has a great battery, I can say the note 2 wasn't substantially better in my usage pattern. I also hardly used the s pen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] quarlow:
Just moved from the Note II to the S4 yesterday.

Love it so far. Haven't even looked to figure out how to root it yet. I ran my Note mostly stock, running CleanROM. I really only had two complaints on my Note as far as TouchWiz: 4x4 icon on 5.5" screen (solved with Nova, but doesn't seem as bad on the 5" screen), and you can't choose which toggles are in the notification shade (easy peasy on the S4). That was the biggest reason I flashed ROMs on my Note II. I'm just a TouchWiz fan, I guess.

I wasn't sold on the 720p -> 1080p thing at first. But, once I got my apps installed and back into my rhythm I started to notice how crisp the text looks. I'm a believer now. The screen is simply amazing. With the bezel being so much smaller the screen feels bigger. I don't miss the larger screen at all. It took me days to get used to the bigger size, but I never really noticed the smaller size of the S4. I can read text on websites fully zoomed out (portrait or landscape) in clear clarity.

I really like the camera modes. Drama, eraser, and animated modes are really fun. The pictures are beautiful, not that the Note II was any sort of slouch.

I like the hardware. Always have liked Samsung build quality. I don't get the slimy remarks, it feels solid and great. I went white from the Grey Note II. It's thin and light. I would get the occasional squeak out of the back of my Note II, the way the back wraps around on the S4 keeps it tight, and completely quiet. I plan on getting one of those S-View covers, but may keep it naked. It's not as pretty as the One, but its growing on me, I dig the diamond pattern, and the chamfered home button.

I like the IR blaster, using OTA signals is nice to have easy access to what is on TV. I thought I would have to point it right at the TV, but it had a pretty wide reach.

Great upgrade, would do again.

Just my $0.02.

i came from the note II and i loved my note but i do not regret switching...s4 is a great phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rabydanimal:
FWIW I completely and totally regret switching from my Note II to the S4. I had forgotten what it's like needing to ration battery usage and charge at every available chance. Even with really heavy usage I never was left with less than 20% battery life at the end of the day on my note. I need to keep my GS4 plugged in constantly.

To make things worse there is noticeably more jank when switching screens/apps/etc on the GS4, presumably due to the 1080p screen. With the bigger battery (compared to the GS3) and sheer processing power I wasn't expecting either of these things to be a problem.

I miss the S-pen since I do a lot of remote desktop work on Windows PCs. Having a "mouse" to point with makes things much easier. I would have returned the GS4 if I hadn't already sold my note.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the stock GS4 that's coming out via Google. A build for this phone should be available shortly after that I imagine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sabre31:
Could not have said it better myself. Note 2 is the best. I went back to note 2 and my sgs4 is sitting there. I was out with sgs4 and by 2pm my battery was at 10% left. I do get a lot of emails for work. Never had this issue with note 2.
