just to report, that after 24hr system ui reached 110 with AD (and zram) disabled,ram free around 100mb, phone lag and with rom toolbox I restarted system ui (back to 45, all fine). Also last night while playing angry birds phone rebooted itself and stuck in kernel boot screen,unable also to load twrp recovery (stuck in twrp loading screen),I had to pull batery enter recovery (after two tries) with 3bc and wipe cache/dalvik to boot system.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Did you do anything about minfree values? Having 100MB free RAM & SystemUI taking 110 is really not normal. If the phone would lag due to SystemUI RAM usage, free RAM should be much less than that...

Wow, that's an early update for a sunday. Thanks, kasper!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mamoto66:
I like people working...:laugh:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsatomas:
Yes I have done. I use autokiller memory optimizer app and it has this option(40hiden apps 50content provider 60 empty apps as optimum) among other tweaks. If you like I can give more details about values.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Actually, my PC was doing all the work while I was sleeping :good:

I would advice against memory optimizer apps. The thing is that Android is very good in memory management. And having lots of free RAM is not beneficial (free RAM is wasted RAM). The risk is that and memory optimizer app is killing apps in the background to keep free RAM high enough, which (especially for our old SGS with little RAM) means that you will run into troubles. Having many apps in background/cache may on one hand cause little free RAM, but on the other hand will make the system smoother because of faster app start.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsatomas:
I understand your point. I shall try new version without optimizer and feed back. Have a nice Sunday!

Is the option to hide clock on the home screen of LockClock removed ??

Thanks for the ROM mate..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Yes, it has. If people really like it a lot, I could re-add it. But I am not going to put much effort in that (as explained earlier) because LockClock will be refactored upstream anyway to make it much more flexible...

And, reverting this option re-enabled the weather on the lockclock :)

What "Active display" exactly does?

I send long message all the time, without any automatic split. Now i have to force this splitting, i don't understand why. By the way, thank you for the explanation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Soryuu:
Active Display's a feature that was originally on the Moto X. If you get a notification, the screen lights up with the notification, and you can easily check what the notification is.

Very useful on AMOLEDs like ours, cause it only lights up the needed pixels and so uses a lot less battery than it could.

Is anyone able to explain better than me though? Never used it so :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
This YouTube movie shows Active Display (although it is slightly different from the implementation I use):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TMycL9mzpg

With regard to SMS, I already asked about the preferred operation, but got no responses.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gargeya_369:

System UI RAM usage with AD disabled, report: Full wipe, on the 2nd boot showed System UI using 40.1 MB of Ram. After 32h without rebooting, System UI was using 76.4 MB of RAM.

With 3.3.8 and OndemandX+SIOplus I am experiencing stuttering music playback when screen is off. I will try and provide with a logcat.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
After not having rebooted in the past 48h I did notice some lag and System UI was 120MB. At the same time, free RAM was still 50MB, so it seems to be really SystemUI which is causing the problem.

So...now I have to decide on the future of AD....

I guess that for long-term stability, a ROM without AD would be the best solution.

For those using Tasker, I made a task, using the locale execute plugin to run the command "@! killall com.android.systemui" every 12 hours. Takes 2 seconds to recreate systemui, so not really a problem. And I have it run 5 minutes before my alarm clock goes of in the morning (and in the evening, I am on usually cooking dinner around that time).

Logcat do not help for stuttering. It is a known issue that most governor/scheduler-combo's cause some stuttering. Ondemand or interactive combined with ROW is for me the only option to prevent it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fmc000:
FWIW, I got the very same numbers. And behavior.

In my experience also lagfree+ROW are good for background music playing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rebel2k:
Hi kasper! I would also recommend to leave AD aside, as it may not be mature enough (those memory leaks are really painful). Hope to see soon a 3.3.9 ROM without it to find again a smooth experience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Enough +1 :)

Future Mackay ROMs will be AD-free. It clearly is not a mature system (yet?). However, as I have to reinstall my PC and I will go for an long weekend abroad I can't promise the timing of the next Mackay ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SKLCH:
+1

Once AD has matured a little you (kasper) can give it a new try...

But for now i would say, build without AD.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsatomas:
[MENTION=362433]kasper_h. I have the same results as you after 20 hours on 3.3.8 with ad and zram disabled. Also as adviced my mem manager app is frozen. Sysui still growing I shall use rom toolbox to restart it manually when lag gets problem. I don't know if ad is responsible for , but when we have the ROM completely without it then we shall be certain. I am going to try tasker and your script. Tks

Battery use

Hi,

I also discovered that Kernel (Android OS) uses quite a lot of battery, much more than previously. I will not call it drain, because it is not bad, but it is equal to e.g. Tapatalk, which I use quite a lot. But looking at GSam Labs - Battery Monitor data, I can see processes responsible for this battery use. Perhaps it has something to do with our memory problem and AD; I have not seen it with previous ROMs:

Thanks. Next ROM will be AD-free, so please check again with that one, I am interested to know whether that helped.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turtuv:
+1 about AD.

I have another problem instead. Often i did not get sms messages, even if they are received in Mighty Text app and i can see them on my computer. This is a really annoying problem, because when i can't use my computer, i don't get so many messages on my phone. I hope that i made myself clear.

Regarding SMS, I have read previous posts and I also wonder what have changed and I cannot send SMS as long as before. I have previous sent messages with 25 words (about 170characters) as one message and now the same SMS is either splitted in 3sms or as MMS. I know that long SMS should be splitted but this not the case because now it splits the SMS after 60 characters(either tick or not the option split every 160ch)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turtuv:
Perfect, i will try latest build.

+1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mike.bike:
I try send sms too. All work without problem - sending of one long sms (160 letters) = receiving one long sms :good:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Blondasisko:
Perhaps it has something to do with the number of SMS edit max lines? Or SMS splitting option. Try to play with it. Check also if skipping Unicode characters is ticked. For me it counts back starting from 10 characters left, and normally adds a second SMS after 160 characters.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsatomas:
I untick Unicode characters and I got 145ch in SMS but the one I sent to my phone did not received(also no delivery report)! I have try splting etc combinations but nothing. This situation is quite new, the last SMS I had sent without problem was 30september (no other sent till today that I find this)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Small update to 3.4.0

Main difference is the Mms app: patches related to splitting SMS/multi SMS has been removed, because it only makes things more complicated it seems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsatomas:
Thank you for this update. My MMS app is fine now.

Report for previous without ad.after 30hours the system ui from 41 reached 63 (that's good, maybe also normal) I had free ram 50-80 (without zram or mem manager) and a little lag mostly when opening an app or when return to home screen.:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yadavjpr:
battery drain

I have installed latest build (14/10/2013) but cLock is eating battery even I have disable it after 2 hours of installation. Details show that its using GPS even after disabled it ( > 17 h) :(

I have installed this ROM yesterday after format card + Factory reset. No FB, No G+, No Hangout, I use only Whatsapp.

Edit: Location Access also disabled
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Can others confirm this? I just checked my own battery statistics and cLock is not even mentioned in the list, so that means it uses <1% of battery in my case. And I have cLock on both lockscreen & homescreen, and GPS is disabled, but location access is enabled.

What I often do if an app is misbehaving, is force closing it (settings>apps>all>cLock>stop now). Often that is enough, without the need for it to be disabled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hollandais:
No problem here, flashed 3.4.0 yesterday evening and my clock is also less then 1%.

No problems with cLock, which is enabled in both lockscreen and lockscreen also for me. BTW, after 20 hours of uptime with my usual heavy use (lots of gaming and music playing) the battery level is still at 60%. Very good!

[MENTION=264917]kasper[/MENTION]: have you ever considered to include this mod to your ROM? Even only the carrier display on the statusbar would be very nice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jv.batista:
[MENTION=3033992]kasper_h[/MENTION], what do you thing about the OMNI Rom? Did you considered replacing CM in your rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Blondasisko:
I also confirm good stability of v. 3.3.9 (before MMS patch). After 25 hours SystemUI about 43 MB, Android System 53 MB, no lags, good battery life. No problem with cLock.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tsatomas:
Kasper_h has told that he likes the ROM simple. But you can use the center clock zip file you mentioned for Mackay, 3.2.2 is working on this build;)

Edit off topic [MENTION=791219]fmc000[/MENTION],I saw your request there and I confirm that you can try it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
The answer is already given by tsatomas. Actually, the code needed to do this (I don't implement mods like the once quoted, I want to do the changes on source code level) is quite complicated. It messes up the CM code quite a bit and is hard to maintain. So that is why I removed the feature and I will not add it back.

Interesting ROM. The problem I have is that most ROMs with enormous feature lists tend to cause RAM problems. I have been trying both PAC & Carbon in the past and both were causing lags much more quickly. I can run Mackay ROM for weeks (did it during my holidays without a single reboot) without any lag. All alternative ROMs I've tried at a certain point start lagging for me (even though I am not a "power user").
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
I think I may have been to fast & harsh about Omni ROM. I just browsed their github in more detail and it seems quite solid without having a plethora of options on top of stock ROMs (like Carbon or PAC). I will give this a more extensive look soon to see whether/what I will do with it!

I am not too negative about the transformation of CyanogenMod into a commercial organization, but I prefer the full-open-access model, which seems to be somewhat compromised by the Cyanogen Inc model.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] saszseb:
Gamerz ROM II. ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] turtuv:
I can't. After few hours i get a lot of lag, even if i use 409MB of memory and Greenify.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Then you should buy a new phone with more RAM :)

But on a more serious note, did you try to see what was eating away your RAM (most lag is a RAM issue) with an app like:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.electricsheep.asi

But if you have many background processes running you don't want to get rid of as you want to use your smartphone to the max, see my first comment :).

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taninos:
Dear friends, I would like to share with you a problems I have found with the new update. If you stay in a place with really good coverage, I mean, with good mobile signal, the rom doesn't drain the battery but you are using 3G (HSDPA+HSUPA) instead of Edge or GPRS in a place with bad signal it drains the battery. This never happened with other versions like 3.3.1.

Best.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
3G has always resulted in high drain, especially with bad signal. I don't think that can have changed since 3.3.1 as well, as modem is mainly responsible for this and that did not change...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rootax:
3.3.9 and 3.4.0 are really good, removing active display (or whatever the real name is) was a very good idea. I must flash the last kernel after the rom, still, but it's ok.

Kudos.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fmc000:
Why do you say that? 3.4.0 comes with .514, which is the latest to the best of my knowledge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Rootax:
Because when I don't flash the kernel after the rom, my phone freeze at the "Galaxy S" logo. Kasper is aware of the problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] fmc000:
I see, very strange.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] taninos:
Thanks for responding. It is strange because I'm using version 3.4.0 in the same place than 3.3.1 but the 3.4.0 drains too much battery if it's compared with the 3.3.1. Hence, as the rest of the people of this thread said that the rom worked well, I though that the only thing we don't have in common is our location and I figured out the 3G was the guilty.

Also, I've tried with modem XXJW4 which worked pretty well with Slim Bean 4.1.2-v2.9, but the problem persist. I´ll play with both roms sequentially to observe what is wrong.

Sorry for confusing you. I beg your pardon.

Best.

EDITED: I started from scratch and now everything works ok. (Rom: 3.4.0 + Modem: XXJW4 + Kernel: CWN 0.513 + Governor: OndemanX + Scheduler: NOOP).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:

Two bugs on version 3.4.0:

1. If you create a shortcut for "camera app" on the "Settings > Interface > Quick Settings Panel > Static Tiles > Tiles and layout", it doesn't work because the shortcut frame the app and it doesn't launch the camera app.

2. Also, if on "Settings > Buttons > Home Button>" options you set on "Double tap action" to "Launch Camera", again it doesn't work, it doesn't launch camera app.

Conclusion, there is a bug on the path for camera app shortcuts.
