I didn't do anything like that before. Rough figures, off the top of my head, I'd top out around 2:45 - 3:15 hours:mins of screen on time and about 8 - 12 hours of total battery life. Now I get 4+ hours of screen and 1day+ of battery.

I guess if I get really ambitious, I could take one of my phones and roll back all the changes, suffer through it for a day, take down the stats, then bring the changes back. I think, after the time I've spent on this, I might be able to do that without hours of effort.

Actually... come to think of it. I need to update one of my GS4's from 8.x to 9.1. Let me see about updating it, reloading/configuring it the "old way", using it, and then optimizing it. No instant promises, though. This all takes time, and it's purely scientific/informative in nature at this point, as I already know my general results and where I'm going to end up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
At your convenience no "eta" lol :p any info that helps the community will be greatly appreciated !! I personally use BBS app as well as Wakelock Detector app both give lots of info but at times the stats are confusingly different between the two. :)

Un-checking G+ contacts seems to have fixed my issue with contacts FC,so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BillBauman:
Okay, so it's probably safe to say you have some corruption in your contacts somewhere. Try randomly cleaning up the phone numbers or data of coats you often use or deleting some you don't need/recognize, from within Gmail. Then try your sync again. If nothing works, I believe you can export all Gmail contacts, delete everyone, re import. I wouldn't do that without a little testing first.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lou 270:
I'm having problems getting this rom set up I do everything in SS like I am supposed to and it worked just fine the first time but I flashed another rom and didn't care for it and tried to flash back and I did the same process but when it reboots I get to the SS screen then it goes blank and just sits and sits and sits no boot animation comes up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
This is something you should address in Hashcode's thread; this is a SS issue. Nothing to do with the Rom.

EDIT: It would be a good idea to re-read the OP in the SS thread; just to make sure you did everything right. Unless you have used SS in the past with Moto phones this is "Uncharted Territory" for Sammy users. If the instructions aren't followed exactly problems will arise; just saying......

Go here for better support and hopefully a fix:

I have used SS for a while now and trust me I looked over the instructions several times just in case something changed but I can't get it to finish booting plus I wipe everything before I installed the rom and once I get into the rom it does a wipe again so is it necessary for me to wipe in SS and in the rom or can I just wipe one time in the rom option and thanks for the quick reply I will ask in the SS thread I just wanted to ask here first to make sure I really liked the rom and would like to get it back going
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yakitori2:
good lord...over an hour download time? sigh. Dev hosting has gone to garbage since back in the day.

I only need the dialer and contact .apk if anyone can hose those I would GREATLY appreciate it. I tried the dark dialer and phone fc. I have no service now. At the current download speeds I wont have a usable phone for almost 3 hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Glad to hear that you are well versed in SS. I hope that you can get back in the groove again. This Rom is truly amazing and for the first time in months my flashing habits are no more..... Maybe someone can chime in as well.

In aroma I chose the extended power menu, and I had it. After flashing either xposed or 3minit framework I lost it. Its just the few options, no screenshot or anything. Anyone know why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
You should not have to wipe the caches / factory reset twice; just once before flashing the rom. This might be a dumb question; but you did the following right?

ALSO DOWNLOAD THE ME7 KERNEL MODULE .ZIP (FLASH THIS AFTER THE ROM):
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
Installing Hyperdrive with SafeStrap

Several people have been having problems with this because of the reboot before apply the ME7 kernel fix. See if the below helps.

Copy the ROM, SS app and Hashcode's fix ZIPs into your external SD (for convenience).

In rooted stock, install SS.

Run SS, grant root, hit "Install Recovery".

After recovery is installed, Reboot into Recovery from the SS app

If you hit reboot normally, hit the MENU button for Recovery when you see the safestrap screen at boot

Do NOT wipe anything.

Select Boot Options, select the first ROM slot.

Select 1GB / 2GB / 3GB depending on how much you have left on your internal SD. You can rename too

NOTE: If you do not have have enough space it may not let you select certain options. It will tell you the space on the screen

Create slot (may take 5 mins)

Since the slot is brand new, no wiping required.

Go to Install, pick the ROM ZIP file from you ext SD card

Add more ZIP, pick Hascode's ME7 kernel ZIP file (IMPORTANT)

Process with installation.

At the end of AROMA installation, make sure to DESELECT the "Reboot" option [This is key!!]

With the Reboot option NOT SELECTED press the Reboot button

As AROMA exits, Hashcode's fix ZIP will be flashed.

When that's done, hit Reboot System

Battery life

Hello guys,

First I wanna say what an awesome and smooth room this is. I just have one issue with it. I see all these people talking about how awesome the battery life is on this rom. Yet for me I barely reach 3 hours of on screen time. I've seen others reach upwards towards 4 or 5 hours even. I have included screenshots of my battery and gsam battery. Is my battery life normal/average for you guys?

Quick insight from the last screenshot you put up it's pretty clear you have some wakelock issues so you might want to look at better battery stats or wakelock detector and see what you have going on there.

I tried searching for a solution and even did the fix, but I've been having an issue with AOSP messaging and Contacts force closing. It only happens when I try to open up my own portrait in the messaging app. Everything else works fine. The fix I'm referring to is installing SROCK, or an AOSP keyboard.

So I dropped my phone and cracked it. Went through Asurion and got a new phone the next day. As I feared it's ME7. Is my only way to keep running Hyperdrive running to install safestrap? Is anyone doing that successfully?

Whoops. Wasn't aware apps can carry bugs over like that. I'll try to keep that in mind in my searches and expand them to the app threads. Thank you.

Np just I know I seen that over in the themes and apps section. It's not an issue just many don't know that it is an included mod, not necessarily [MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] creating it but making it available in aroma.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Any idea what could be causing the notification LED to blink a light blue/purplish for no apparent reason or is anyone else having this? Doesn't matter what percentage the battery is at as I first thought maybe it was something I inadvertently turned on as a battery warning. Does it with a full charge, 70%, 50%, 30%, ect... And I have no new email, text, call, facebook, or any otherwise notification to see or clear out. A screen on and turning the screen back off seems to clear the rogue LED every time. :confused::confused:

I've also checked through the HyperDrive's Tweaks section/LED options and nothing stands out there that could be the culprit. Very annoying for an otherwise superior ROM!

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Thanks for the comeback but Hrmmm, weird because again, when this occurs I have no "New-incoming" Gmail to see. :(

It's almost like a "Deep Sleep" notification, lol, because the phone will sit idle for 15-20 minutes then sure enough, this strange notification LED starts a blinking until I turn the screen on and off. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
This was yesterday qfter flashing stock optimized kernel. I am very impressed with the first cycle. Should get better in a couple more charge cycles.

My experiences tell me that roaming and network signal drains as much battery as the screen.

I will follow up today after being on wifi the majority of the day.

You definitely have some rogue apps and wakelock issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SolemnSinner:
I get it from time to time, usually after a reboot I've noticed. I always think I have a gmail when I see it blinking, yet I never do. This isn't the first build that has done this, but it's a minor annoyance to me. It stops for me after I check my gmail and then go back to lock screen. Just a minor quirk I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
This is another screenie.

BUG!!! I cannot post more than 1 pic at a time. It allows me to attach up to 20 but everytime it posts it randomly only pics 1 pic to post. Anybody else having this issue? Im sure it is related to the xda 4 app.

Edit.... now it says I do not have permission to post attachments yet it posts the same picture again. I have been on the site for years, first time this has happened.

Uurgh... I will try tqpatalk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
This time it actually did it, I opened the gmail app and whilst I didn't have any new mail in my default "primary folder", I did have a new one under "promotions" = that goofy thing that gmail recently did to seperate incoming mail. So I'm going to check next time and see if that is what is happening and it's actually detecting new mail in these other folders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sensatti:
This has happened to me on every version of hyperdrive I've flashed. I just ignore it. Small trade off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SolemnSinner:
You know what? I never event thought of that. I never even thought to check the "social" and "promotions" folders where I have 1 new and 8 new in them respectively. In fact, I just noticed I had those messages were there right now. I use my gmail primarily for my banking notices so any social or promotions emails I get, have until now remained completely unnoticed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tool Belt:
Did you flash optimized during HD installation, or from SafeStrap later? I don't suppose you would need to reflash Hashcode's kernel mode too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
After flashing the new update my battery won't hold charge now. Any suggestions on what would cause this? How can I fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
I dont have to use Safe Strap so im not really up to date on its nuances.

But I flashed stock at first, only to flash faux kernel immediately after boot. Battery life (avg. 9hrs w/3.5 hrs screen time) really stunk for me and smart stay still didnt work. So I flashed elite kernel, everything was working but again battery (avg. 10hrs w/3.5 hrs screen time) was not as good as stock kernel so I tried the stock optimized kernel 2 days ago. Yesterday was my first real charge and I noticed a huge difference. I just flashed the kernel by itself. SBREEN has it posted on the first page.

Ive regularly gotten 15 hrs and 4+hrs screen time with stock so I went back to it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kr4zyc1d:
Did you wipe system when you wiped? Strangely I noticed that once I wipe/install/boot its fine until I reboot (no matter what rom I use - still downloading stock to test). But I noticed that my phone is only using about 1.7 gigs of the internal drive as opposed to the 7 it was originally using when I got it.

Is there a quick way to flash CWM over TWRP to test? The phone works until the first boot and I think it might be hosed, any way to revert/fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xrabbitfootx:
good to know. i just flashed ktoonsez's and applied his recommended settings (UV -50, ktoonservativeq governor, etc.). i'll charge to 100% and see if it drains like default, before rolling back.

Interesting. I thought we had to stick with straight stock no matter what with safestrap. Did you happen to use the stock one before and if so, have you noticed any differences with the optimized? Tempted to do a Nandroid and "Dirty Flash" 9.1 over 9.1 again using your method. :fingers-crossed:

You can use both stock and stock optimized, because the optimized kernel is still a stock kernel, so it will still work.

Ok thank u. Any other way to take screenshot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
I just flashed, I think, the optimized version. I did dalvic/cache wipe. I've been having a little problem with twrp (have to pull the battery on occasion and it seems to lock up). It went thru the flash process so fast, I couldn't keep up with it (reading it thru the process). It booted back up, so I'm assuming it flashed ok. To make sure, what should the kernel version be in "about phone" or is there another way to determine whether it is the optimized version?.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Ur using twrp which version? 2.6 twrp seem to have issues if ur using that one. 2.5 twrp is solid. Did u seleck stock optimize kernel during aroma setup? I'm not sure tho. Im on stock optimize kernel version 3.4.0-562219. Hope this helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
Thx, holla. That is what my version says. I do use the 2.6 version of twrp. I'm not sure about the aroma set-up question. I don't remember/know what I selected.

I had the same problem with battery pulling. But 2.5 had been flawless. If im not mistaken but I think stock optimize kernel selection is default.

This is an Optimized Stock kernel that is manly stock but with a few key edits to the ramdisk. It is loki'd and is flashable via recovery.

I have added:

Init.d Support

Adb as root

Busybox (/sbin)
