[AT&T HTC One (M7)] whitetiger_0603:
Wiping your phone and SD partition and starting from scratch doesn't solve the issue of almost 10gigs taken up and not knowing what it is. The stock rom itself surly isn't 10 gigs, we all know that for a fact. I just did a complete wipe of everything on my phone, and I'm still short 10 gigs. I paid for a 32 gig phone under the impression that I was getting 32 gigs of SD space for my personal use. Not 10 of it being used in some "other" category. HTC really dropped the ball on this. Just when you buy a phone with removable SD, advertised as 32 gigs, you GET that 32....well minus a gig or 2 for drivers for the card, but system files are stored on their own partition on the phone itself while you have full use of the SD card. When i go through file explorer, I see 2-3 different paths to get to the same point on my SD car which makes no dang sense to me. And I've been tempted to delete them but I'm afraid to do so. I've tried moving them and they end up coming back..obviously, after a reboot. There should be one path from the root of the system files to get to SD, not 3. On my phone, I've got SD, MMT, and storage, and all of them lead to the same end point, some with a few more stops along the way than others. HTC really dropped the ball when it comes to the user ability over storage management, and what they advertised vs what they provide in terms of storage capacity in this device. Would I return it? hell no. i love this phone despite this flaw. Would i go for it again knowing what I know now... honestly I'm unsure. I'd probably save up a little more and go for the 64 gig..be a little miffed over losing 10 gigs, but at least I'd know I still have plenty of space left as opposed to now. I take lots of pics of my family and i love music, so this is my MP3 Player as well. Not to mention any backups I do of the system and what not

Side note, I in fact asked this question when i first bought the phone when it made it's US debut, and got all sorts of off the wall answers.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] demitrix:
I just did the firmware upgrade which wiped my sdcard, after moving everything back to my sdcard (1 gb of photos, 6 gigs of backups) I now have 9 gigs free on my phone with other storage using over 13 gigs. I'm not extremely pressed to reclaim this storage as I will likely never use it. I just am confused as to why I am still losing 6-7 gigs of storage. New firmware new rom, all I did was copy my sdcard folder back to the phone after the reset.

It seems everything on my sdcard is taking double the amount of storage it should.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leo_ace:
Hey guys

I wanted to ask you which kernel you are using.

And what you think which is the beste regarding to stability smoothness and battery life. If anyone is able pls write the advantages and disadvantages of the kernels down.

Thanks in advance ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d4nteps:
Using Franco Kernel. I like the color tuning.

If you want the of the 3 Worlds, stay at stock kernel ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a.cid:
"Best" kernel/rom/etc threads are not allowed on XDA, as such topics are purely subjective.

What may be best for one, may not be best for another :)

You'll have to try them out to know what's best for you.

Thread Closed.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
So I figured to try my hand at building a more well known rom, AOKP it is.

This is a very current and stable running build of AOKP including the new "Dark AOKP" theme build from source, using linaro toolchain.

I used Haze028's guide along with great help from chadouming (you're the man!) for device/vendor/smoocha kernel work.

To have proper notification led's please stick with smoocha kernel included in rom.

Sources will be uploaded soon, I have a very slow upload from home.

Its built and tweaked for Canadian E971-E973 should work on AT&T with your own apn.

/*

* Your warranty is now void.

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM

* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

*/

As far as I know, everything is working, I tested all main functions as best I can but I'm sure someone will find something that's not working.

If you do, let me know about it here and I'll try to fix it.

Thanks to everyone I mentioned and anyone I forgot who helped along the way!

P.S If you're running my CarbonDev, or CM10.1 or Houstonns AOKP/CM/PA, you can install this without KDZ'ing, just wipe data/factory reset/dalvik and install.

I setup a "tweaks" (look for "kerneltweaks" file in /system/etc/init.d) file for colour settings and for setting your own governor and io scheduler at boot.

V8 Changes:

MHL support is finally in, sorry for the long delay!

DanceDance and Smartmax governors added.

I left my kerneltweak settings in place because they are extremely sane defaults.

If you want to change them, just edit the kerneltweaks file in /system/etc/init.d however I would highly recommend just leaving it as is.

Last build before AOKP 4.3 (unless there are any showstoppers in this build). Download the Mms pic resizing if you already installed V8 as of September 20, 2013. From the 21st of September on, the fix is including in V8.

Thanks for this, due to work/family I haven't been able to do any building in well over a month. I was hoping to see another AOKP I could run until I get to playing around again.

Nice work sir!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Thank you for the great guide!!

Otherwise I wouldn't have even bothered trying.

Hope it works well for you, please let me know what you think after some use!
[LG Optimus G (International)] slayp00n:
Installed this, running great!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Any updates folks?

I'll start it off with I'm not entirely happy with the extremely long delay between notification LED blips.

I'm looking into that...

Anyone care to report how battery life is for them?
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
So far so good.

battery life seems as good as stock to me. Of course this is always subjective. I have locations disabled, nfc disabled, data disabled.

Bluetooth is awesome-ish

There is the led notification delay, Such a non-annoyance for me, don't care much about that. Cheers:highfive

deep sleep is acheived (once all the aforementioned are disabled), Am Happy customer!

This looks promising so far!

Only bug i noticed is that AOKP settings are not backing up 'installer'
[LG Optimus G (International)] slayp00n:
Ok phone randomly reboots, all settings are forgotten about widgets and android.process.media will not stop crashing?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Can you give me as much details as possible, phone model, factory reset before install, any settings/tweaks/undervolting/governor/scheduler etc?

I have yet to see one reboot so far after a week of usage.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
That's dirty flashing for you. Wipe dalvik Cache

[LG Optimus G (International)] slayp00n:
I love assumptions.

There is no dirty flash, this is a complete wipe, phone was PERFECTLY stable for 24 hours, rogers e971, stock kernel and governer settings.

All of a sudden today i went to check my phone and noticed it was on boot animaiton, when it turned back on widgets were all forgotten & acor and media kept crashing, this happened twice now ihave tried 2 clean flashes same result. very strange... Also I notice the aokp installer persistance doesnt work, i had it on, but now i have clean flashed again and disabled it incase it is related.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
I would suggest keeping an eye on what apps you install then (are you restoring apps from a backup perhaps?) as I run this on two E971 Rogers phones for one week, mine and my wifes...believe me I'd have heard about this from her by now!

Maybe provide a list of apps/widgets because I'm fairly certain the rom is solid from my own lengthy testing.

I don't compile and release, I compile, use extensively, then release.

As for the aokp backup/restore I'll look into it. I personally don't trust any backup/restore of any kind so that's definitely one feature I didn't try.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
That's internet for you. Sorry about that. My mistake. It only happens to me when I dirty flash. Or, coming from a rom that us not compiled the same way. Latest cm, for example. When it does happen, I found only one solution : titanium, then kdz... Best,

EDIT, forget that.

possible solutions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15993037

1-mediaprovider

2-wipe download cache

3-if it happens on a specific app, wipe cache from that app in app info.

4-Google currents or dolphin browser hd - remove, see if it helps

5-wipe cache from media storage app.

I had the setting forgotten on stock rom because I'm using a bell phone on telus network. Is there a provider in the build.prop? I did not check there..

rererere edit:

no providers in the build.prop

Would putting rgs help?

Throwing ideas out there.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Your second solution sounds more likely.

Hopefully he checks this thread again...
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
Right...

here you go. Should work

bluetooth, wifi and gps on with screen on.

Pretty similar to what I get on stock.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Your pic didn't show up properly but I went to the url directly...subjectively I know, but is that good from what you've experienced?
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
Just reinstalling did it

Love the ROM.

Should I try and OC
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Glad you got it going!

I think the default will have up to 1.8ghz.

I usually keep it at 1.5.

You can use faux apps, or trickster mod to adjust pretty much everything.

I personally use trickster mod to monitor everything.

Try that out and see.

Also, if you want to try another launcher, I recommend NovaLauncher. Its great.

Cheers and glad you are enjoying it!
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
Been using that since ICS came out. Agreed its the best launcher out there.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
I noticed some graphic tearing when switching from portrait to landscape mode.

It looks like I only get graphic tearing on the home screen and app drawer. So that leads me to believe it's probably the launcher. Just tried a different launcher it's not the launcher
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Did you do any kernel tweaks with governors and speeds? If so, tell me what settings as I don't get any flickering on rotation on my phone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
No tweaks. In developer option if I change the animation scale to .5 it goes away but I like running it at 1.5. Oh well.
[LG Optimus G (International)] boywithabeard:
I love this ROM, have always liked AOKP. Everything runs smooth and the in call volume is pleasingly loud. The one beef I have is a soft reboot/freeze up that occurs when you press volume down and power together(standard screenshot protocol). I know there is a million workarounds but if this was repaired(or just disabled to prevent accidental occurance) the ROM would be basically flawless. My two cents.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
hmm. I don't get that. but I did not change the animation scale.

I'm using action launcher, by the way.

cheers
[LG Optimus G (International)] TurboTronix:
I wanted to install this rom: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/68546-ro...uffer&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=Buffer

But I can't get into fastboot with aokp_geeb which I currently have installed...
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
This is the best ROM out there in my opinion. I have been running it for 4 days now without issue. One of the main reasons is the notification led which is basically the exact same as stock ROM led and the stability. Also the kernel can be OCed to 1800. Mind you I have not tried that yet.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
I've tried over clocking to 1,8, the phone did not crash. Mind you, the phone is already plenty fast as is. IMHO. After 60h+, I did get a kernel panic. I had overclocked to get better performance in stealth bastards and forgot to turn it down.

I second that opinion. Best rom out there.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
did you happen to run any benchmarks at 1.8. just wondering?

thks
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
Nope. I read in a lot of threads that for some weird reason, people get brick running benchmarks. So I stay away from those! I need my phone functionnal, mostly!

My reference to that is in the old carbon thread by atrixxa and I think I saw it elsewhere too. Might be kernel related or not, I do not remember, but I definitely don't use benchmarks anymore.

Since it's not running smoocha, my guess is it should be ok, but still....best ask paulicat on that :)

EDIT :

It might have been fixed already also. I simply read : "do not use benchmarks" sooooooooo, I don't :)

UPDATE: its been confirmed first hand....DO NOT RUN ANTUTU BENCHMARK.....live and learn...:(
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
Just a suggestion Paulicat. Maybe update the date and version in the title so people know your still developing this ROM. People could be missing out on this bad boy.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words.

I'm trying my best to get back into dev mode, but life things happen and then things change.

I'm slowly working on getting mhl to work, that's a big goal for me right now.

Otherwise, just waiting till AOKP goes 4.3 (unless it happened already?).
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
AOKP are still on their milestone #2 (out in late july)
[LG Optimus G (International)] slayp00n:
Seems they are taking sweet time this summer to even announce development for 4.3?
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
Yep! it's summer after all.

For what it's worth, I've used it for a while on my now sold nexus7. Not much new to report. Bluetooth was still broken. The lag was less noticable thanks to the trim-thingy. Seems to me, from 4.1.2 to 4.3, except for a few things, not much more there in day-to-day usability. But that's just me. :)

They haven't released a final version of aokp on 4.2.2 yet. Too many features implemented, I guess. Still very usable.

I hear x10forever is looking to port 4.3 Although which version, i'm usure of. I read that in the cm thread.

cheers
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
hey Paulicat.

i was kreeping the AT&T forums and saw that you installed [ROM][8/2/13][4.3]CM 10.2 Unofficial. how is that working for you. is notification led working. camera, wifi? should i be patient and wait?

thks
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
I'm always testing out new roms, can't help myself!

Notification led works ok, not quite perfect like it is in my aokp build, overall its a pretty solid rom but I prefer AOKP's customization options.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
LOLOL at that.

It's addictive, ain't it?

Up to a brick or data loss. Then, it sucks, big time. Suddenly, stock rom is not that bad. For some reason, major developpers on this device are using the stock LG rom. Taken from IRC.

I can definitely see why LG won't update phones. Too much work involved, no money in it. That's the accountant in me speaking, but since there's no income from it, it'd be the first thing to go as far as profits are concerned. We have a qualcomm device. the device's sources are kept behind locked bars. I wish Lg would release it though...

Bah, it's a great phone. Luckily, there's a strong aokp build for it.:highfive:
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Heh data loss stinks.

I know how I lost mine yesterday, when you do a stock rom factory wipe with Vol - and Power, it wipes sdcard...I forgot about that.

Some things are ridiculous about this phone, I've been messing with Nexus 4 modems on mine, and sure as hell the camera autofocus works perfectly without tapping the screen if you run the later Nexus 4 modems...WHY ISNT THAT WORKING IN OUR STOCK MODEM!?

Not sure if this is AOSP or LG's fault for camera autofocus...
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
I'm guessing LG. I've had numerous problems with the jb modem. On the bright side, lg's stuff produces better colors on the nexus4. So it's a mixed bag of good and bad. :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] slayp00n:
I found a glitch, might be weird and unrepeatable, but it seems if my phone shuts off from low battery, it will not boot unless i wipe data. it will just boot loop forever, happened to me 3 separate times.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
Last couple of days I've been losing wifi intermittently. Is there another modem out there. I've done a fresh install but still no go.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
Are you using bank's Gapps? there is reason to believe they lead to reboots and intermitent wifi.

Try ics modem.solved it for me.

EDIT

Sorry,you can find it in th cm thread.if it's not there, I still have it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
I noticed there is a new jb modem there. Have you tried that one.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
Si je ne me trompe pas,

If I'm not mistaken, the JB modem in that thread, is the JB modem used here.

Try the ICS modem. I tell ya!

[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Interesting that theres so many problems with the jb modem.

Its been working perfectly for me for months now.?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Ya, I had to turn on the developer options first, then I went into the Root Access menu and turned it on for Apps and Adb as I do stuff over adb.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
Where can the root access menu be found.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Have you enabled the developer options menu?

If not, tap repeatedly on the build number menu until it says you enabled them.

Then go into the new developer options menu and you'll find it in there.

Noticed with setcpu on this kernel I can push the quad core snapdragon all the way to the max 1836mhz, is this a real overclock or fake? Haven't heard of overclocking anywhere however I noticed a small increase after overclocking it and running it on max performance, gets pretty hot as usual to but never locks up great kernel and great phone
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
what ever you do, do not run antutu benchmark........i was running it OCed at 1.8 and it seemed snappier and smooth up until a ran antutu. : ( back to square one. still best rom out there hands down
[LG Optimus G (International)] mathsz:
beats me. Like why is bluetooth borked for me on other roms? Some nexus4 user report it, some don't.

I did not dwelve deeper, but hardware build changes between dates?

In the lgog forums, the jb modem has reports on both sides of the spectrum.

Try asking chadouming, I kept reporting borked bluetooth in CM, he kept saying : Works fine over here. And I'm sure he's right. And I was also right. only difference I see is: hardware is not the same. Or drivers or whatever. Something's gotta be different.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Ya for some reason antutu freaks out...

Again, thanks for all the kind words!
[LG Optimus G (International)] mmikeman:
ya Im going to run some other stuff to verify its actually at 1.8 using some tools later, I assume it is though it can probably match or even out perform the new galaxy s4 at this right need to run more benchmarks
[LG Optimus G (International)] Paulicat:
Keep us posted on what you find.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mmikeman:
The good news this weekend ..found out the overclock is valid and not only does it make anutu go nuts setcpu stress test yields the same issue however after crashing the phone twice at 1.8ghz and having issues even powering it back up each time the 3rd time was met with a charge light boot loop phone wouldnt charge wouldnt boot wouldnt even turn on without charger being plugged in could access fastboot and download mode...thinking the phone was bricked decided to leave it plugged in and keep trying anyways...10 hours later I see a charging screen and phone randomly boots up but says I have 0% battery and then charges to 90% (where I was at before crash) within 2 minutes I am thinking that maybe the battery can't power the quad core at that freq during stress and gives out, so watch out didnt get a chance to test 1.6 and 1.7 ghz left it after that scare lol also thinking maybe the kernel built in is nexus 4 based and maybe nexus 4 has a better battery?
