We would Greatly appreciate if you could please continue your work and meanwhile we will also try to co-operate as always and will make it better together. Also recently I got MIUI V5 Original and themed Camera apk and it was quiet working, the thing which was broken was continuous auto focus on Video mode and ironically continuous focus on Still camera, tho it takes images and videos successfully at full size, I wish i could share it with you :(. Your MIUI v5 port is very successful and very stable and also very much needed one too.

We request you from our heart, We need you, Please do not leave developing it.

We will be grateful to you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Notorious:
Yes they support stock based on all phones which is 4.1.2 . 4.2 is only available for XHDPI devices
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HQuser:
Yes, My bad. But please do not leave your such wonderful 4.1 port :( We love your this affrod and hardwork :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HQuser:
Also I've got some screens and MIUI V5 Orignal Camera tested by me works very well but there are few little bugs:

I'm Also including Camera apk in attechment for those who want to try

bugs: No panorama,No continuous auto focus in video recording, and auto focus loop in Still mode.No touch to focus. tho images and video are able to be taken in full resolution.

And also to mention Its really Snappy and fast!

Apart from it @Notorious, Im very Thankful to you for bringing such beautiful rom to our device. Thank you sooo much. You're a Legend :fingers-crossed:

Is there any way to swap the tab 3 7.0 internal and external sd directory? (Not like folder mount or anything like that- complete swapping sdcard)

by modifying sdcard fuse tool?

swap storage

b,

i tried editing mountpoints in init.*.rc files as experiment.

the short of it is backup your daily driver to your normal extSdCard then

install/flash a clean rom pref stock rooted, and insert new extSdCard then

flash your modified boot.img then

reboot and you'll see an error about data/sdcard encryption fail with a recommend for fix/repair.

at this point i stopped for lack of an extra/spare extsdcard to potentially ruin [or not]

but if your feeling adventurous you could try it. if i understand it after that process your new extsdcard

should be sorted.

alternately you could through adb dump your userdata block and dd write it to an extsdcard

then do the modified boot.img [with new card inserted] and see if it catches.

note- for adb shell on gt-p52xx you must #enable_houdini first as most bin-utils are arm.

Used Freegee and Twrp, with stock , and not software update, and I would like to know if there is a special way for android backups??? Whe I made my Backup I used boot,system and data checked and did not check recovery or cache. Am I ok ??? Should I also check recovery, due to Loki??? When I need to do a restore is there a particular method of doing the restore due to the Loki method??

Thanks for any info guys...
[LG Optimus G Pro] fryguy128:
You should be fine if you only choose those three options. If you want to be super safe I would check the other two also. As for restoring just tap restore and your back-up. There isn't a special process for backing up and restoring.

I know there are countless threads/topics regarding high battery usage re p880, but I didn't want to resurrect an old thread, or hijack someone else's, so if I'm wrong in creating this thread, then I apologise.Can someone please tell me what exactly this service is/does, as it seems to be the biggest problem regarding my lousy battery life.. phone just sees it as android system (pic 3) where as BS+ sees system back up service. As i have backup disabled, this is puzzling me.

Thanks in advance,

Edit: in the time it took to write this message, ive lost 14% in battery, including the time it took to screenshot.

Edit 2: Ah, now im back on PC i can type properly.

been playing around, disabling system backup service, but a new process just gets launched in its place, from key chain, to LocMgrProvider...seems as you disable one, another replaces it, all using same battery. Must i just accept, that the android system is just going to eat my battery?..like cookie monster at the biscuit counter?

If it helps, im running stock 4.0.3, freshly flashed, with F/reset, unrooted.

Thanks in advance, and any help is very much appreciated,

Sun

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
that's... waaaaaay too much. why are you on ICS anyway?

my suggestion is - factory reset from stock recovery (warning: your internal sd card will be fully formatted). in case you don't care about ICS, i strongly suggest JB. if you don't care about voiding warranty, i strongly suggest unlocked bootloader + custom rom and kernel. oh and also, grab better battery stats app, it shows an easier-to-understand overview when compared to apps you used
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SunHounD:
Thanks for such a quick reply.

I'll tell you the scenario, as quick as i can make it.

had the phone 2 weeks, got it on a 24mnth contract ( i know, sigh)

anyway, updated it to JB (4.1.2?) through LG pc suite, but thought the battery life seemed to be worse, so i downgraded with LG flash tool, to ics.

after a F/reset, i rooted, then F/Reset again, but it seemed sluggish.

the long and short of it is, ive gone up to JB twice, and down to ICS twice, rooted and unrooted twice, disabled a whole HOST of stock bloatware, and am still left with similar results as posted in the pics.

ATM ive a clean ICS and im at a loss as to what to do. ive been reading all the threads about improving battery, culling the bloatware apps etc before i decided to post.

as for bootloader, i will probably do that sometime in the future, when im more knowledgeable on the subject. at present, i dont want to be left with a 2 year contract to a brick :)

thanks again,

ps: you say better battery stats is better than battery stats plus?...will download now, thanks

Sun
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
interesting situation. it's strange that sluggishness persisted between factory resets and .dz flashes back to 10x version.

first off, how does the phone behave when you're not using it? is it draining battery bad? is it going into deep sleep? what are the percentages of cpu states (you can check this in better battery stats, as battery stats plus seems to be too clunky for me to read proper info)?

if it's deep sleeping properly, then yeah, the issue is with something sucking up the juice while screen is on. next off, check cpu states - if it's locked at 1.5ghz often, when you have screen on but doing nothing, it's significant info.

what i've noticed with display, you can count up to 3:30 hours of onscreen time with stock rom (this is with very conservative use of wifi and data during this period, and no heavy gaming for example) - that's around 200 minutes of on screen time, meaning you should get around 2 minutes of screen on per 1% of reduction in battery - how far are you from this result?

i hope we manage to get to the bottom of this, but i still recommend unlocking bootloader and flashing custom kernel and/or rom. you can't really brick o4x while unlocking bootloader afaik, and you've done more complex operations when switching from 20a to 10h than bootloader unlock is.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
I would go the other way to be honest. If you do a full factory reset, install no apps, no Google account or anything and still get a similar problem with the battery drain then I would take the phone back for replacement as that is abnormal.

No point running a risk with your warranty when might be a hardware fault.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SunHounD:
It's midnight here now so can't really test it till.morning now. When phone is in standby, it seems to hold.its juice ok. I'm sat here now, with nothing switched on except WiFi, screen at 23% brightness , and am just using tapatalk and I'm getting 2-3 mins per 1% screen. Less if I play in the menus. First thing tomorrow, I'll reset the phone again, before dl'ing any apps. Then I'll only download BBS and see how I get on. I'll also.monitor battery loss over night.

edit:

after i wrote the above last night, i decided to watch a movie on my phone in bed.(headphones, dont wanna disturb the missus :P) and i managed to watch a movie of 2hrs 10 mins, with 23% battery drain, on stock video player, yet just browsing through the phones menus/ light web surfing, eats the juice like crazy.

left phone off charge over night, and didnt even have a 1% drop in 7 hours (wifi off,sync off, data always off(dont use it)) and phone set to 2g mode

Sun
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SunHounD:
current set up

Right,

I've performed another F/reset, and rooted. Installed TB pro, and uninstalled/frozen a skew of apps/services as listed per the thread in my sig.

Installed better battery stats, charged phone to 100% took off charge, and am just waiting to see how it goes now. Would you recommend using phone as normal while BBS collects its info, or to let the phone alone for a while?

thanks again,

Sun
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
you can leave it alnoe during night to check if it deep sleeps properly, right now you're interested in cpu states option in bbs, to see if it uses too much cpu when doing normal tasks such as surfing, reading, watching/listening media etc. your goal is to get over 2 mins per 1% drain (in the end, over 3 hours of onscreen time with no heavy gaming). with those stats, your can say that your phone is draining normally, just that lg reports stupid stuff (f.e., stock roms report screen as using 20% of the battery, while in reality screen is using waaay more, the most actually)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SunHounD:
Thanks Flying_Bear, I'll refrain from doing any more resets etc for the rest of the day, see how the readings progress and post on that tomorrow, after overnight analysis.

This piece of one of your previous posts just stuck in my mind:

TBH, from everything I've been reading on it, it kind of scared me off the subject, but to see you say it was less complicated than what I've already done, has got me to thinking.

The biggest thing for me at the minute, before considering that, it to rule out faulty hardware. At least if thats the case, i still have warranty intact.

Is the performance increase really that noticeble after flashing custom kernels/roms?

Thanks again for your time,

Sun
[LG Optimus 4X HD] LamerDuck:
no.

apart from everyone here praising custom roms and kernels, DON'T flash a custom rom, when you are concerned about battery.

the best rom out there regarding battery life is by far a stock rom, be it 4.0.3 or 4.1.2.

the worst thing about the custom roms is WiFi. with stock i was able to let WiFi run through the night with less than 1% loss per hour.

on every custom rom my battery needs at least 5% per hour for WiFi, but most of the time even more. its just not useable.

shortly followed by 3g network, which has a much bigger battery drain than stock, too.

i am on CM and different kernels for some month now and i consider going back to stock, because i want to leave WiFi on in the night, otherwise my phone eats up my 100MB free 3G traffic way too fast.

BUT...

the reason for your battery hungry phone is not the ROM, the kernel or the phone itself.

your battery drain is absolutely absurd for stock ROM and can only be caused by badly programmed apps you have running.

OR:

you have your phone relatively new and play with it EVERY FRICKIN MINUTE, which would be an explanation, too.

you said, you were able to watch a whole 2h movie with only 23% loss, that sounds like the stock ROM i know. on custom you would lose around 50% for this. but when your phone loses battery when you "play with the launcher", you maybe have installed a 3rd party launcher, that eats your power, are using facebook/skype/whatsapp/(insert any other badly coded program, that has no push mode), or have just fiddled with the developer settings a bit too much.

Because you noticed your battery drain with 4.1.2, too, then i suspect a badly coded app. these are the reason for nearly every battery drain (and the reason for wakelocks, too) apart from bad drivers in custom kernels, like the WiFi desaster all the custom rom users have here.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SunHounD:
I think the only reason I would consider custom roms, is a performance increase.... If it wont give me one, then I see no point in going down that route.

Totally agree, its why I refuse to enable data in the first place.

when I took the original screenies, in OP, I didnt really have much in the way of apps on it. I'd not long before done a clean flash, then removed some of the bloatware that came with it.

At first yes...:D hey it was a new toy at the time. Novelty wore off about day 3 though.

yeah, it handled a movie quite well, I was quite pleased with this. When i said messing with the menu, I just meant exploring the phone; no custom/3rd party launchers, no messing with Dev stuff.

At the minute now, the only extra apps on my phone are XDA Dev app, tapatalk4, BBS, TB-pro and root uninstaller pro.

Oh, and can I ask.... aside form the ability to "pimp" your phone out, or the extra customization, is there any benefit to flashing custom roms? As it cant be for better performance....

thanks

Sun
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
yeah wifi can drain too much, but i had almost same stats on custom as on stock - 3-4% per hour if wifi is left on, with sync on and push notifications and blabla. you've got things going great if you have 1% per hour with wifi on.

lg has crammed up a whole lot of **** inside their stock rom - apart from useful stuff like proper mhl drivers, quickmemo, nice gallery & video apps, it's bloated to hell - mlt logging, ****ty launcher (imo), widgets that only work on stock launcher, "smart log service", RIDICULOUS throttling etc). you can root and uninstall most of these, but even then you might not get what you're looking for.

my best onscreen time on stock 4.1.2 20a/20b was 3 hours 3 minutes. that's with conservative use of wifi, 3g and almost no gaming. on custom rom & kernel, today i pumped out 3 hours 37 minutes, and was on 17% battery, when i plugged it in in order to recharge it. that was an obvious increase for me (keep in mind there were custom rom/kernel combinations that had me pulling barely 2 hours onscreen time).

you need unlocked bootloader for custom kernels, and say what you say but proper kernels ARE battery savers and performance enhancers. stock kernel has for some people insane issues with baseband_xmm wakelock (for me it was rediculous, 6% per hour drain when not using a phone and no deep sleep at all) and wipes didn't help with that; only custom kernel fixed it. it has RIDICULOUS (for emphasys) throttling effect, slowing your cores down to 1ghz each when battery hits 43 degrees celsius (which for me was around 20 seconds of normal usage on a hot day outside), which leaves you crippled if you're planning on doing any complex action with your phone.

alternative is - unlock bootloader, check custom roms and see if you like'em (Zaiben is f.e. debloated and improved stock, something OP might like, or he can go cm, or carbon or any other if he prefers custom features). if you don't, it's easy to flash a .kdz file back.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kelly66:
Hi Flying_ Bear, can you pl confirm what combo of rom and kernel is giving you 3 hr 37 min of screen on time and which ones to avoid (ones that gave you 2 hrs)?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
Carbon rom 4.2.2 version with iodak v7 had the best onsceen. Id say stock was worst, 2hrs 45mins of onscreen with no gaming and low brightness, with stock kernel
