The media scanner will still run occasionally even if you didnt put any of it on your device (on boot/unplugged from pc) unless you totally disable it, i've never tried disabling it tho.. Have you checked using BBS or wakelock detector?

Running 0416 Sabered SlimKat | DorimanX 10.43v112

[/QUOTE]

I haven't disabled media scanner, but I have it set to "do not scan on boot".

Some other info, might be relevant, might not...

1. I know ART increases the size of apps because it "precompiles" some data for quicker access, but some of my apps seem to "grow" over time. Its hard to explain, but its not app data or cache. The actual measured size of some apps gets bigger with more uptime. Might be normal operation, I don't know.

2. It never happens quickly after reboot. Usually after 12 hours or more.

3. It ONLY happens when I access those areas I mentioned in my previous post.

Thanks again!

Edit: I have BBS. Its not a wakelock issue. Its something to do with storage reading. (At least that's my theory)

Freeze

On Charging Green color is not being displayed.

Sometimes waking up device needs a restart. It happened couple of times.

Will it be possible to take logcat after freeze and restart?

Forgot to mention, I am on Dorimanx v112

if you said you had media scanner or any sdcard related problems only in ART, then it is weird. afaik, art or dalvik has nothing to do with sdcard.

what i could think of is perhaps it has something to do with the available free space. since art takes more space than dalvik, it is quite easy to reach the space limit with just the number of the apps (at least on our device with 1,97GB). as a result, media scanner fails to index the media files again and again.

i'd say if you don't have problem by using dalvik, then better use it. in kitkat, art is still experimental and until now, there are still too many art optimizations happens on the aosp master branch.

comment to your point 1:

an app size could grow easily on the data and cache part, especially for a news-feed related apps. if you click the storage - apps, you'll get a list of apps sorted by size. in the app info you'll see the app size categorized by app itself, data and cache. there are some apps that grows more and more in time on the data part. that's why i occasionally clearing the data of those apps.

i'm using zzmoove gov. within this gov, you can choose gov profile that suit your need. there is a list of zzmoove gov profiles. can't remember where i put them...lol.

If there are problems with internal space limitations when using ART and a lot of apps I would recommend this modification: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947

I have done it with 6 GB partition and I do not regret it. Absolutely no problems and I do not have to copy apps to SD anymore because of limited space :good:

About a an increase in size of apps across time, might it not be due to, among other things, incremental updates? Just mere conjecture. :good::cowboy:

Tnx :D is there an easy way to adjust the overall gamma correction? Value in the advanced settinga seems not to do anything. I find the screen too bright overall. In Apolo this was dimmed a little.

I don't see the choice for profiles. Do I need to use an app for this?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Facuu:
[MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] when you say in stock kernel we can choose zzmoves profiles, is there an option on the rom or do we have to download a third party app?, if so which one ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hawaiisteve:
When I say app size is increasing, I'm talking about that actual app and its user apps so I don't think its updates. Also, i have repartitioned to 4gb so I have more than enough room in data partition. It doesn't really make any sense. I expect data and cache to increase and have accounted for that. I'm now at almost 48 hrs on dalvik with no problems. If its OK for another 24 I'll switch back to ART and see what happens. Maybe I'll delete all apps and add them back one by one. It'll be a big pain but that might help isolate the problem. I really want to stick with ART because my battery life is so much better...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
Hi all

I just installed this ROM for the first time and am quite fond of it :)

However, my system partition is full after installing the ROM. Not sure why. I did not change any partition sizes or repartition anything.

Is this necessary for SlimSaber?

I did install the full gapps, but still, it should not be full afaik.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Shouldn't be full. No partitioning nessesary as long as you stay with dalvik. Did you do a full Wipe of everything including internal sd? You will loose everything so backup what's needed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] spectator123:
There you go. Ultimately, it's the user who will find out which one works or is best. :good::cowboy:

Your rom is fast,smooth also unlike cm/omni based roms, it had no system ui restart.

BTW, some features could make your rom better like brand new cm theme engine and omni dsp manager.

I hope to see those features in next builds :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
an I just flash the pit file from the SlimSaber recovery? Or will it wipe everything?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ratvim:
This will increase data partition i guess system will remain 504mb....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] officiallyme:
Does ART have something to do with it?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
Would like to try art again but have to repartition. Theres too much information in that thread, im confused which pit to use with this rom, also I understand you have to use pitmagic? Someone should write a guide for partitioning and Slimsaber roms :confused:

I understand that we should use the preload modified ones? Does Slimsaber use preload? Which kernel can be used in odin? Read troubles with dori. Also what if preload will be used again in the future or is this unlikely?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] m4dm4xi:
I can confirm this issue!

Probably something got confused by adding the new battery symbols in last update.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] fubo73:
You must use odin to flash pit files. Please follow the OP of the partitioning thread.

ART is well known to fill default partition. Try dalvik.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] pippone121263:
Yes it will increase data partition and it will wipe everything.

System memory will remain 792 MB not 504.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Hopper8:
To all those contemplating re-partitioning to get extra space:

1. It is a very risky operation to re-partition. If it goes wrong (eg. Odin does not flash correctly/usb connection is shaky, even your computer loses power while flashing, etc) you're facing hard brick. I know there are lots of people where (thankfully) nothing has gone wrong, but I've personally seen 3 people who have hardbricked as a direct result of attempting what's in that re-partitioning thread. Be warned and know the risk.

2. If you do decide to re-partition, I'd advise against flashing the pit file that cuts preload partition to 45MB. Why? By doing that, you eliminate the possibility of flashing a stock ROM. Let's say the re-partition is successful, but somewhere down the track, something goes wrong and you can only access download mode. Then your only option is to flash stock and start over. If your partitions don't allow you to flash stock, you've potentially got no way out of your situation.

Of course there are space benefits to the re-partition. It's up to you whether you do it or not. Just be aware of what you're doing.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] tryptophane:
Hi,

after having been a very long time cm 10.1 user, I thought I'd give kitkat a try and flashed this rom. I must say it's quite awesome, it's smooth, stable, feature-rich and battery-friendly, I don't regret my decision at all!

For me there is only one issue, it's the exFat support, that has been already discussed here these days. I can confirm that it doesn't work well with my exFat formatted 64 gb sd-card. In file browsers, folders often appear as 0 byte files, but it changes all the time. Sometimes they are recognized correctly as folders, and I can access the files in them, then after some time they are again shown as 0 byte files... So you definitively have a problem with exFat...

I don't really rely on exFat, therefore I think I will format the sd-card as FAT32 again, even if I find it somehow annoying to have to use such an outdated filesystem...

Did someone try to use a ext3-formatted sdcard with this rom? I'd guess it won't work out-of-the-box without editing some config files to have it mounted correctly, and journaling would have to be switched off somehow because it would decrease the lifetime of the flash storage...

Thank you [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] for your hard work!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] velocity90:
So nobody knows how's to access gov profiles? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] j1gga84:
What pit file do you mean that cuts preload partition to 45MB ? I think this would be interesting for the users that want to do this procedure. I did it and I don't regret it BUT I read the instructions twice, step by step and VERY carefully because it is a very risky operation as you already mentioned :good:

Regards
[Galaxy S II Android Development] drexciya:
I use SetCPU to do this. Go to governor tab and scroll down to profile number which then allows you to set the governor profile.

The zzmove thread will tell what each number correlates to.

I use 5 which is a battery friendly one.

you can use the free version of android tuner to change the gov profile.

wipe internal storage?

if you flash rom, the data and internal storage are not touched.

i have no clue why exfat is not working for some users...for me, it is working fine on my ext sdcard. i'll put this on my todo list...perhaps i'd find out the culprit...

Do you think it could be possible to mod camera.apk a little? In my opinion it's a bit redundant that the menu is opened either by pressing the lower right icon or long pressing on the screen.

For example it would be awsome to keep opening the global menu with the icon, but letting the user choose a shortcut for the long press on screen (like exposure or ISOs... etc) :fingers-crossed:
