Not overly impressed with battery.

It seems that the ROM has gained even more speed, which is wonderful, it is super smooth and very very fast, the way you are following is correct, is the success of the product :beer:

On battery life is very similar, somewhat larger, but almost priceless, I suppose it's due to 2,1 Mhz OC, I don't care :p, because we won even more speed at the cost of super small increased consumption.

I think that with this setup I will lose 1,5 hours of battery life and 0,5 h of screen, no more. Great job ;)

Some screenshots....Note: i don't use LTE, only WiFi and 3g.

hmm, seems that some people are getting different battery scores... Can we get some more feedback regarding battery life?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] flo110:
Battery life is great on this rom, I've been using it for like 4 hours screen on and only dropped 40%.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes! I noticed that as well :D it's the result of a nice and clean rom along with a fully optimized kernel with OC/UV. and it doesn't even have to drain a bit more, just undervolt it properly (the rom doesn't allow this to be done perfectly yet, but it will come in the real release) and it will drain the same or meybe even less.

Thanks for posting the screenshots :)

it's pretty neat as long as you don't use 4g

Thanks! I will try to make it even better by undervolting several components in the phone besides the cpu and gpu ;)

@broodplank1337 could you add the torch app back to the rom please? I think it's ligtweight.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BabelHuber:
I'm still using brood ROM 1.0 with Kernel 1.4.

I had to connect to some SAP systems via WLAN-tethering today evening (because the WLAN in my hotel is totally ****ty).

According to GSAM Battery Monitor, I had a traffic of 436MB today (via LTE). Also I had about 20 minutes of phone calls.

The battery is still at 38% now :)

Waiting for the V2.0 final release, but as more I use this ROM, as more I like it :)

I'm on R2 Test and it seems that wifi is slow... also got an issue with Ingress and Google Maps...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] flo110:
Maps work for me.

About the wifi... It seems a little bit slower. Gonna test.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] G69D:
i'll flash this ROM and see what my benchmark is...i'll post it here soon..^_^
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johnsonxray:
please dont oc it to 2.1 and set it to default in your rom, maybe u leave it 1.9 default and let the user to decide whether to oc or not.

i always heard the best n fastest way to reduce your hardware lifespan is by oc
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Ok np, thanks for adding it anyways.

And yes I will do that in Release 2 :)

Battery life sounds good according to the things you've done with your phone (as they are pretty battery eating)

Working hard on the final release, I think it's ready before the weekend if I work hard tomorrow and the day after that :)

Wifi is exactly the same as the one from R1 (same dhd.ko module). So it could be your wlan connection or anything like that which is causing the trouble.

And the issue with ingress and google maps is probably because of the google files in the framework, they might break it when they are not the right version. The best way to fix it would be deleting all google files from system/app and system/framework and then just installing GAPPS like on CyanogenMod.

Ok good, and the wifi generally can't be slower as I didn't change anything that has to do with it. but anyways sometimes other "unknown"things interfere as well.

Sure, let me know, advice is to do a benchmark when your phone has been idle for a while so it's nice and cold and won't be possibly limited in frequency

I didn't, I set it to 1.9 but it just went to 2.1 automatically because of some issue ;)

and about the hardware lifespan, it doesn't count that way for smartphones since you only use them for about 2 years max, and the lifespan should be 5 years. but who uses the same smartphone for 5 years, almost no one. and besides that. the higer frequencies use the same voltage as stock does on the high frequencies. so actually there is no difference, only benefit of speed :)

You should add some inverted cm10.1 apps such as dialer/contacts, sms, google play and you win me :D. or i can make a flashable zip for ya, and you can add it in a mods section or something.

How do people managed to get these crazy battery and screen on time results, I usually can't muster more than 2 and a half hours tops :-\

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johnsonxray:
I'm new, is the app seeder will really make the phone faster?

I did try, and it seems like it, need confirmation.

How this things works? I dont really understand how they describe this app.

Brood u recommend using this app?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] avsquare:
Not sure what happened previously - I was playing around with 3 different versions of 4.2.2 GE the whole of yesterday, and the 3rd time I flashed this test release, I was able to get 24,9k, don't think it's anything to do with clock speed either. However, when compared to S4's benchmark, 3D graphics, CPU integer and RAM scores seems to be far behind.

Anyways, it's still a good ROM. I tested them against Samuel's and Jamal's. I was using Samuel's all along - his was also very clean and pretty smooth, but I find brood's slightly smoother/less lags. Maybe it's due to the slight OC vs Samuel's which is stock clock speed.

No offense to Jamal, but his is way heavy for "stock google"/"nexus experience". It was more lag than barebone TW to me.

Props to brood for this ROM, looking forward to a fully functional Release 2 :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -Zork-:
Can you add Samnsung´s Camera in the Version 2? , it´s the only thing that i like with Samsung original firmware :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] broodplank1337:
What app are you talking about if its the one that boosts the cpu then no it's not needed. it has a quad core and the rom runs very smooth. also performance is pretty high so I suggest you not to use it

When you compare, it will compare to the exynos octa core variant afaik, anyways, I think you will have to do some adjustments if not running as you would like. in final r2 there will be a power profiles to choose from, from eco to performance.

Good to hear that it runs well, it will only get better each version so I will NEVER include things that are not needed, hope to make it as small as possible. also btw doing some research on compiling aosp apps/framework combined with libraries from cm

It's coming asap :P working hard hehe

No, and I will never add it, the last thing I want to do is making the rom 200mb bigger for a 75% working camera app. I kinda like it as well but it's just not worth it. the size is way to big. samsung makes it always so over the top big for no reason..

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] broodplank1337:
ah ok that one, well it decreases your battery life so I wouldn't recommend it, also the performance is good as it is :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] avsquare:
Sorry for being a total n00b, but I find that I'm unable to touch GPU settings at all. I've not tried with stock TW ROMs though, but the Kernel Tuner app says the GPU is not supported. Funny thing is Adreno 320 is said to be supported by Kernel Tuner. Tried CPU Master app, can't touch anything on GPU either.

Tried to set GPU clock speed to 600MHz via broodParts S4 - I was able to select 600MHz but while in Kernel Tuner, it says max is 600, but current is 533MHz

Hardware issue or GE ROM issue? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] johnsonxray:
Aside battery life, is this app really will help reduce lag and give smoother UI experience?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] avsquare:
I agree with this statement too.

I mean, if brood can build his ROM to be able to support higher clock rates and maintain a stable environment, why not? I would gladly welcome that - if one feels it's not needed then they can downclock it themselves via broodParts :good:

Higher performance on a clean stock ROM - exactly what I would like to look out for which I find the development so far is promising. Honestly battery isn't what I would be bothered with unless it's horrible like iPhones that requires like 3-4 charges per day (previous experience with iPhone 4/4S) for the same usage as per my droids. I always carry a spare battery with me. But of course, I have trust that brood won't be building some ROM that would burn a full charge battery in 4hrs under normal usage :lol:

To each on their own though :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] G69D:

Thanks for this great rom, I've been runining R2 since yesterday and I'm more stasfied with your version than any other GE roms out here in XDA. Only thing I'm missing is the SIM Tookit apk (as attached). Is there a way to add it in v2?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] -Zork-:
It is a very smooth room and going fine with r2 test. Have a question with boot setting, can set make undervolt everytime on boot and with undervolt by default? And dont have to make it con brood setting...

Enviado desde mi GT-I9505G usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] broodplank1337:
for UV reference, if you take a look inside /system/etc/instavolt you will see 3 tables

vdd_levels0 = kernel stock voltages

vdd_levels1 = normal undervolting (this table will become the user table)

vdd_levels2 = the table I use, extremely undervolted, if you go 1 step lower then this your phone will freeze

you can apply a table like this when you're running the system:

for example for table1, user table:

export VDD=`cat /system/etc/instavolt/vdd_levels1;

su -c 'echo ${VDD} > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels'

normally this would have been executed during boot but it doesn't do that in the test build.

in final release 2 all settings will be boot persisten

Cool :) hehe good that you want to install mine first :good: Unfortunately I cannot compile the whole rom (As there is no source) with linaro, but the toolchain is hardcore linaro optimized. I always work with linaro as much as possible, really like to push that o3 to the max :). You're welcome! And what version will you download? Release 2 test is faster then 1. but it still has some functions that are not working yet. Anyways, it works great for daily usage. :silly:

Sometimes (it already happened more than 10 times in 3 months), when I place my QTEK 9090 in the Broadit Actice Car Holder, the device freeze :

it cannot be turned on, the power light still flash green (no charge) and if I call my number with another phone I get an unreachable error from the operator and my qtek does not wake up.

Soft reset does not work.

Only hard reset :evil:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] tikkel:

Don't have the answer yet. Some say you can change your device at your shop. Haven't tried it yet.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] DUTCH:
Yep. Same thing here as well!

I thought it was caused by software I have put on it (Pocket Plus or something). I never thought the Brodit active holder would be the problem. But as I remember it always happens when I put it in it's holder :roll:

It has frozen 2 times in about 2 weeks, but this time something new. It does not completely hard reset : altought I press reset while pushing ON/OFF button, the device makes a soft reset, just loosing date & time. Installed apps, contacts, calendar, etc ... remains. Strange :?:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vip451:
I will like to remove the Wndows professional version from my HTC HD2 Leo Smartpone. But after reading several Androind versions I feel a little bit confusig which one could be the best for me. Certainly the Rafdroing Android version looks the best, but there are some risks around it and I do not see too may comments about users.

The Android Ice Cream or Jelly looks also interesting and looks easy and theres are other Androing version too easy to install.

Why I am looking to change my OS from my HTC HD2 Leo ? Because I think that the Androind version it is the most wit tons of free applicaitons,thems etc and as stable. The second point it is that I would like to increase at least a little bit the speed of my Smartphone

1.2 Ghz or 1.$Ghz could be the best thing that could happen to me. The last point is that the old windows version was so limited with flash and video, so I decided to remove it.

Certainly that I would like first to get a good backup of my present operating system in case of failure to return to my old version.

soI need a suggestion to a good backup to move everything to my SD or to move everything to my Desktop via USB interface.

It will be plus if I can install a dual boot in my HTC to try the new Windows 7 together with Androind, but I m most decided to run the Android version. Please advice me which Android could provide me a better performance, secure, reliable and increase the speed. the Rafdroid (vhichv version) or the Ice Cread Android or any other version.Please provide the link to proceed to Install> Thank you fellows for your time and consideraionts:fingers-crossed:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
First, I don't remember doing any back up from my windows mobile. Simply because I had nothing to backup, except my contacts, I used Google to back them up, (I didn't have much apps/games, and didn't care for messages). So I don't know about backing up, wait for advice from someone else.

Then I would suggest you keep away from sense, that includes all versions of Rafdroid. This is because sense takes a lot of ram, and you won't (or at least I didn't) feel that your device is fast, it's going to be rather slow and sluggish. I would only recommend sense if you like your device to be eye candy, and you don't do much on your device except usual calling, texting and rare gaming/browsing. But again, this is just a suggestion, you can try it out and see if it works or not. (I would have recommended Sense 4, since it's fast AND beautiful, but it's not stable atm).

Now if you're a heavy user, who likes to do lots of stuff and play heavy games and do lots of web browsing, I'd suggest ICS or Jellybean, this is because they both offer full HWA (Hardware Acceleration). (Click here for a comparison I did between ICS and Jellybean that should help you decided which one).

That comparison also includes Gingerbread, so I don't think I need to explain it here.

Yes, you can dualboot Windows Phone and Android. Refer to this great guide by [MENTION=2301523]mengfei[/MENTION] which should help you dual boot. Keep in mind that Windows Phone MUST reside in the NAND, so android will be in either sdcard, or sdcard/ext partition. Don't forget to hit his thanks button if you found the guide helpful. You should be able to find all the links there.

Good luck with your journey.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ZathuraPL:
Referring to:

--> Backup.

As far as i can remember times with WM, i always used to plug it in PC and it always synchronised by itself, maybe i had CD/DVD with drivers, i cant remember. But as Marvlesz said, i don't think that You'd need nothing more than moving contacts on SIM card, as You change OS and move to new world ( better one imo ) ;) so; simple and very fast way.

--> ROM.

Again, as Marvlesz said :D , sense ROMs eats just too much of our priceless ram of EU ver. Users

[*]

So, If you want my opinion, i can tell from my experience, that there are some of my suggestions:

1) tytung's 4.2.2 /720p\ rom that just works!!

I use it nao, and i must tell that i ain't found any bigger bug than random ForceClose of an app but thats normal, 4.2.2 makes HD2 wet and i am thankful that it still works :)

And oh, it doesnt have any bigger boosts like TabletUI ( Which i love ) or tons of candyeye themes, but its still cool with its simplicity :P

2) Its ParanoidAndroid's.

It has more tweaks and features, as... TABLET UI o0o0o0o0o :D

But there are still a few things to fix as author said, but(!) last update was from ending of June, so i bet He will update his ROM soon,with freshly baked sweets for us :)

Sorry but i cannot tell from experience this time, i did not try this ROM on my device, although i had PACman (combination of ParanoidAndroid and CyanogenMod code) with tablet UI etc etc, and it was nice, kept it for a long time until author stopped updating it :(

I think that will solve your hesitation :)

Keep rooting and give me feedback, Have a nice week y'all ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Common misconception .. Both EU & Tmous HD2 have the same amount of RAM of 512MB (or 576MB if you may), it's the ROM that's bigger on the Tmous. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Yep, and just adding to that you'll always get somewhere around 411 MB usable RAM on Android (sometimes I've seen it at 403 as well).
