I can't recall did i download it somewhere, but i know that Aurora ROM have odexing script in it

EDIt: X-game rom thread have odexing script separate. It's in end of first post
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
tnx will add to op, ;)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
The odex file gives me an error when attempting to flash in in recovery. CWM
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Oh OK... Well I'm on ICS now (ICS browsing is not good...), just Google it, :D
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Yeah, I was already on it. Just wanted to let you and everyone know first. Soon as I find an odex file I will post a link here or embed it here.

[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Tnx alot, :), Updated OP, :D
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Forgot to add this important stuff in order to use the odex script, sorry ya'll.

How to odex:

- download file

- go to recovery

- install zip

- reboot

- open terminal emulator (will be installed automaticaly)

- type su to obtain room permission

- type dexo -h to show possible commands for your phone

- type dexo -one of the option that you have decided

Pizza_dox can you add to your OP. Thanks

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Just a tip. I typed in SU in the terminal emulator that is installed from the script.

Then type in dexo -h and it gives you a list of options. If you want to odex your whole rom type in:

dexo -all

Then hit enter give it a minute, then it will reboot and you are done.
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
What is this? Maybe I've missed it, and haven't flashed my x10i in ages but still sounds like something new to me :D

Is it the "reboot while holding the 'go back' button" procedure?

What is this and what does it do? ^^

Guess the answers might seem very obvious to some of you, but I haven't been playing around manually flashing/playing around with my android for nearly 2 years now, need to get some things fresh again :)
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
I suggest u visit the x10 General forums in aim for a guide to get a custom kernel, ;)
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
But I'm looking into optimizing a R800i? You directed me to this thread from /showthread.php?p=44725736
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Well u said u dident flash anything in ages for our x10i, :P
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
Since the x10i is the only android phone I've had so far. Just giving some background to my questions. But guess you don't know the answers then. GL with your project/thread.
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
A CWM is a ClockWorkMod recovery, one of the most famous custom recovery in the world.

A recovery is a special partition that allows you to do everything, from erasing a partition to flashing a custom rom.

We can't be explaining all of this stuff to new users, we'll just go mad.

There are threads created for newcomers, you should search for 'em.
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
HOT UPDATE! Go check out the AutoMagical Debloater, U Can still use it if ur on stock, but any apps in /system/app will be removed... ;)

[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
any idea why this set up isnt rooting?
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Well u have to use lupus GB and when rebooting it will prompt to root then u have root, ;)
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
HOT UPDATE! After Searching the web i decided to optimize my dalvik vm settings, and WHOA, they pull thru with amazing performance increases!, but only for GB atm

Pulled from OP:

Basically replace

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y

with

dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y,v=n,o=v,u=n

Enjoy! ;)

Oh and if u saw better performance tell me!
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Should we enter this into build.prop then wipe cache and dalvik from cwm? Or no....?
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Ya enter to build.prop and if u want wipe cache and dalvik cache. Not necessary but I like to do it to, :)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Okay I've entered the change into build.prop. going to reboot and wipe for good measure. Is there anyway for me to find out if there is a performance change? Run MC4 perhaps?
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Generally u should notice faster app opening speed, faster game loading, much quicker boot time and better responsiveness all over the OS, and yes my favourite benchmark is FPS Meter (dont need it...) with MC4, thats how ive been testing vm settings and all sorts of other stuff on Hyper Cola and manny other things, :D, as MC4 is a kinda Game where VM Stuffs and ram stuffs when changed can show differences... also another test i do on ICS/JB is to swipe thru all homescreens, and or appdrawer, :D, Unreliable but some vm settings such as dalvik.vm.heapsize (or sth) show difference in that, ;)
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
Is this guide giving the xperia play android 4.x? I have 2.3.4 and Pc Companion says it's all updated already.. (looking for official rom as base, and then to debloat it for better performance)
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
No this guide shows u how to get a good setup of 2.3.4 for the best performacme and battery, :)
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
So, after flashing Lupus the phone won't boot up.. Any suggestions?

(It just shows the lupus screen, goes black, shows the screen, goes black..)
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Well yes u have to wipe everything, first before flashing lupus make a cam backup (or if stock then dunno...) then flash lupus then restore the cwm backup I'f 1 existed, ;)
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
Did not have anything to backup since it's a fresh phone for me. aka no reason to backup.. Nothing. Guess I've just lost a phone then.

"-Now disconnect the device AND DONT BOOT UP

-flash Lupus GB v12 LagFixed Edition

-Now Gracefully boot up the device knowing you have the cleanest xp in existent, "

....as said, it won't boot up. Are there steps missing or do i have to read up on 3245342134213124 other topics to follow this guide?
[Xperia Play General] konstruktor:
perhaps a problem with data partition. did you flash .62 or .79 before flashing the lupus?
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
Flashed the one linked in the OP, whichever that was...

When I put it in again (and had Lupus removed) the phone did at least boot again.
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
I tested something today and it work:

-Flash .79 firmware

Keep all options checked

-Flash Lupus kernel (i recommend 720p, AKA, full version)

-Erase system and data from fastboot

Fastboot erase userdata

Fastboot erase system

You should find fastboot.exe in android sdk platform-tool folder or in flashtool's subfolders somewhere

-Flash .79 firmware again, but this time uncheck all, and leave only system checked (so it will flash only system, and data partition will have 640MB)

Enter recovery and exit, select "yes" when it ask you to root

Install superuser from market
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
Seems to be working!

New problems that have showed up:

can't install apps such as CWM with flash tool, nor install apps from SD card. Phone says "nope". Doesn't seem to want to get rooted either
[Xperia Play General] konstruktor:
for root you have to install supersu (for example) via cwm.

cwm should be there because of lupus kernel (press back or volume down at lupus logo when it vibrates).

did you check foreign sources before installing apps from sd?
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
I can't get CWM to start.. Gonna try and reinstall lupus and see what happens
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
CWM is stuck as:

1- "no option is displayed with just written clockwork recovery in bottom" or

2- "i powered on phone, few seconds later, when phone vibrate, i press volume down and it don't enter recover and i am stuck in kernel logo"

If 1 then repeat the part deleting partition from fastboot part and reflash only system partition from ftf

If 2 then you are doing something wrong
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
Progress is made! Time to debloat :D
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
Glad to hear it. You can follow the guide from step 6 now
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
My biggest problem atm is that the SE Backup & Restore app refuses to be installed.. Maybe it simply won't work with 2.3.4? If so, then I'm pretty much screwed on everything i tried to save from my old phone..

Also, the phone is trying to make me install firmware update ("Updates available"-spam), how do I disable this? I think it's possible but don't know how..
[Xperia Play General] Bakisha:
What is SE Backup & Restore?

Do you have backups with titanium backup? Or MyBackupRoot backup? Or at least CWM backup?
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
No.

The latest backup I had of anything was done with Sony Ericssons backup program on my x10i. But I've been able to find a working version of the app on the forums after some hours of searching, so my contacts are back with the exception of maybe 5.

Going to make proper backups with supported tools from now on :)

(Sony Ericsson Backup & Restore was only supported up to 2.1)

Anyways, how do I stop the phone from telling me to update? Guess it's the custom kernel triggering the update message
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
Damn Pizza_Dox, that "magic debloater" hit my phone like a truck, it's so empty now xD
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Sorry bro, :), should mention whats gone after/before, but I'll also mention to make a cwm backup, ;)
[Xperia Play General] niklasson:
Yeah that was no problem, I have a CWM backup running nowadays.. xD

One thing I have noticed though, is that I can't open my contacts (this is pre-debloat). I can see the list of contacts, but to call anyone I have to go through the "edit number before calling" option :S No idea what's causing this, anyone have any suggestion? I have .79 firmware and newest Lupus running atm.
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
[MENTION=4725371]Pizza_Dox[/MENTION] another tip I've found:

installing ChainFire 3D and enabling Unroll textures gives you better in-game performances
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Really???

So dl chainfire and install which plugin and then unroll textures.... I'll try with Alsphalt 8 or MC4, ;)
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
I dunno man, sorry, :(
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
No, do not install any plugin: they're just needed if you want apps to think that you're on a different GPU (tegra 2, powerVR, etc )

Just install the CF3D drivers and then unroll texture to 32bit (that increases performances by increasing memory usage) or even better to 16bit (that increases performance by decreasing memory usage)
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
No performance increase or any quicker loading times in asphalt 8 or MC4, :/

Maby it's just my chipset... (all chipsets r different...)

But tnx for the tip...

Also can anyone else confirm a performance increase? ;)
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
What have you tried? 32 or 16 bit? I saw better performance on DraStic with 32bit
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
well i used 16 bit... ill try 32 bit now, :), and i dident know it effects emulators... strange... as the emulators work differently with textures and games and etc...
[Xperia Play General] CriGiu:
Nope :P emulators work almost the same as games, using openGL, and this software hacks the way openGL works :)
[Xperia Play General] DiamondBond:
Ahh ok, but some old ones like n64oid??? :)

Edit

I will test 33bit unroll now, ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] biscuits:
I've just upgraded to imate 1.4 on my Orange SPV M2000 and everything seemed to go fine.

First thing I did was install and run GPSdash which went to the bluetooth manager to find my GPS. At that point everything became a little confused and terminated with a crash.

I've tried soft reset after soft reset & can't get into the bluetooth settings or manager. Nothing at all happens when I click the icons. Nothing is in memory.

anyone have any idea what I've done?

Turn off gps if you don't need it. That's what I do and saves much power bro.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirius100:
I do turn off any extra drain some days if I'm gonna be away from a charger most of the day, but any other day, when I'm at my office, I actually like all the features that require location and I've used them without any hassle on my GS3 and even on my old GS1 with a JB rom and my battery lasted me through a normal workday. The GS4 will drain itself overnight if the bug is happening and it's not charging. In contrast, my father's GS4 has everything on all the time, and even without Greenify, it will last an entire work day without recharging and with moderate use.

So clearly, there is something wrong with my phone. Sure, having the GPS toggle on means that apps on the background will occasionally wake up the phone, access fine location and go back to sleep, the problem is my phone never gets back to sleep.

Forgot to say on the main post: apps that force deep sleep when the screen is turned off are unable to do so after it's bugged.

Thanks!

Get this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.geolog

I've got it set for a custom profile that updates every 4 hours. Work 12 miles from home so weather is always the same.

When I need GPS for navigation I will bump it up to a more aggressive refresh.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
Are you only disabling GPS from the notification?

When you hold the GPS toggle and you are moved to the GPS settings, is it completely off or is access to my location-use wireless networks on?

That, as silly as it sounds, could be your problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirius100:
Wow, that seems like a pretty good app for controlling location services drain without actually disabling them. I'll give it a go, though I think the problem with my phone might be at the hardware level. I'm pretty sure GPSD is the process that's getting stuck in some infinite loop, so the only workaround for now is to completely disable GPS until I can solve this. Thanks for the recomendation, that app is definitively going to my list of must haves :good:

Well, as far as I can tell, it makes no difference, the bug happens with the wireless network location aid on or off. If you look at the BBS log, you can see the wakelock is caused not by any particular service accessing location data, but by the GPS itself (the kernel module GPSD as far as I can tell). And really, it should make no difference, in any normal phone, locations services wake up, update, go back to sleep. In my phone it's wake up>GPS gets stuck on and will continue to use CPU time until I kill it with any of the methods explained in the first post. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
i've been thru gps wakelocks when i have it on and could only recommend a clear format n reload factory firmware with a PIT repartition to make sure nothing stays behind and check from there if the bug remains, i personally have my my location based apps off by default unless i need their service coz wakelocks only cause trouble... im trying to get help with my phoneapp wakelock getting 1-2 hours of wakelock on a 24 hour period with some random audioout as well

running wanamlite and perseus here with all the bloatware as some of those samsung apps are useful at times
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
I have never disabled gps from S1 through to S4 and in all those years have never seen gps consume battery. My gps only turns on when an app needs to use it.

But I do remember one in the S2 I did have this exact same problem. Can't really remember how I fixed it though. Possible I did a fresh flash in odin.

Edit: just wondering, have you enabled that new Android security feature 'Android device manager'? Maybe it's trying to locate your phone and won't let gps sleep.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirius100:
I think I might have to do that, full format and repartitioning and see if it keeps doing that.

As for your problem, maybe you already use it, but I find System Tuner Pro a great tool for troubleshooting misbehaving apps.

With fresh flash you mean with PIT? I've disabled all google location services and it still happens. I've also actually used the Device Manager while the phone was in Deep Sleep, it woke up, used the GPS, then went back to sleep, so go figure. Is there anything I need to backup before repartitioning in case something goes wrong? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Weird! As for flashing I'd recommend doing it without the PIT as it's a software / system problem, nothing to do with the partition of the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirius100:
Oh well in that case, I've done that at least 4 times, with different build dates and regions and even doing a full /system and /sdcard wipe along with the factory reset from CWR, then flashing, then another factory reset. So far, the problem pops up on every build no matter how little software I have installed.

That's what got me thinking it might be a hardware issue, but then again, I can use the GPS without any problem and then turn it off and the bug doesn't rear it's ugly head, so at least it seems the GPS radio is able to be shut down.

Most threads of people having this problem with different phones got as far as just doing a factory reset or flashing new firmware before it was solved, so when I'm at my 4th firmware flash, this problem is really busting my brain.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomatus270389:
Having the same problem here. I have the I9500 with CyanogenMod. I started having the problem when Samsung updated to 4.4.2 now it doesn't matter which ROM I use, the problem persists...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolo9393:
Please let the GPS sleeping in stand by and stop destroying your phone for a different issue you may have!

this:

l2_hsic (): 1 h 13 m 21 s (4401 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)8634/4/8634 25.6%

just switch and force your phone to 2G reception for a trial and this will stop consuming your battery.

it call "fast dormancy issue" and related to most of the time to the 3G provider that doesn't send the right info in order to stop the phone seeking for network.

I am not any kind of expert but this check is easy to do and will clarify this point.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fipsy:
Geolog is not a good idea to prevent wakelocks concerning GPS and/or com.google.android.gms.icing as the wakelocks caused by these two items are now caused by Geolog. After 3 hours sitting at the desk and not moving the phone, Geolog kept the phone awake for half an hour (27%). So this is NO solution for preventing wakelocks, saving battery or getting the phone asleep!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchmilK:
It worked in 2013....2016 is a different story and must be handled differently.

One thing that I just started doing on my Nexus 6P using "Device Only" mode rather than Battery Saving (battery saving uses wifi, bluetooth and cellular and requires more triangulation, checking in with google to see where it is, as well as more location tracking.)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fipsy:
One problem is that "device only" solely uses the GPS module of the phone which normally consumes quite much power. So this also is not a very preferable solution...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchmilK:
With no nap time changed and nothing else forcing things to sleep, I get 1.2%/hour battery drain while at work letting my phone idle.

I think things have changed and a simple GPS check uses less power because it gets your exact location. Compared to the cpu time of getting your ip address, referencing who owns it and where it is located or getting a cell tower and triangulation between other towers to figure out where you are.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fipsy:
Okay, thank you for the explanation! I'll give it a try hoping that this also works on Kitkat (CM11 / 4.4.4) ...

Edit: Tried it. A catastrophe! If I'm indoor where no GPS satellites are available it is constantly trying to fix a GPS position and hence consuming power.

* i implemented the touch array order which android framework assigns. so developers test the finger order to develop multi touch apps perfectly.

* glowing method implemented
