[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zortwil:
Hi, got a question for all of you.

franco, matr1x, or faux/mako?

Which one would be a good rom for me that provides good performance, as well as great on screen time with ParanoidAndroid?

I've heard great things about franco and matr1x, but love the "turbo boost" in faux/mako.

Has anyone had experience with faux/mako? How is the general battery life? I haven't heard too much good about the battery life in mako, but have heard a good amount in matr1x and franco. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I know "just try them yourself". I just thought it would be nice to have a bit of insight before jumping on one so I don't have to waste too much time playing around with them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Faux and Franco are more performance oriented, not too much battery friendly. But I'm sure if you tweak some things you'll get better battery life.

"insufficient storage" after ROM flash

I just flashed android 4.3 ROM on my phone (phone is Infuse 4g, ROM is CM10.2 - 8/30/2013 - Butter)

after I have restored most of my apps w/ data using Titanium Backup, I don't have any storage left (according to notifications and phone storage information - couldn't update apps, and several apps couldn't be restored (restore process stopped at 94%)

when I go to settings > storage, there's message "Storage space is running out", Total space shown for internal storage is 1.28GB, Available is 9.44MB,

however, when I connect to computer it shows that I still have more then 9GB available on the internal storage.

when I was flashing ROM, I had to go back to ICS ROM, (I've lost root access ), then 4.2 Rom, then 4.3. it warned me that it will re-partition my storage, and I may lose any data - I agreed, as I had everything backed up. now I don't really have a storage :(

I assume it has something to do with partitioning, but I have no Idea how to fix it, or what is the best way go around it. please help.

happens with every 4.3 ROM, I already tried to reformat the internal Storage using a 4.3 ROM

thanks. I didn't see that same problem was listed already. will try to wipe cache/dalvic cache as it is suggested there. will report results later

it's really weird that nobody mentioned this problem on the developer's forum.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LuckiestNut419:
I've been using PACman V06 for a week or so now, no problems whatsoever. ext SD and USB mounting have been flawless.

As for the internal storage issue, when using Stock rom slot, or using a completely unaltered phone, the stock rom recognizes the entire internal storage, as the only partitioning are the internal storage, and the stock system partition. When you create a new slot, that rom only recognizes the partition it was created on as valid storage. This is to prevent changes to other rom slots inadvertently, I believe.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] demonshouter:
I have this issue only with some apps, titanium backup, root explorer are able to identify my intetnal. Last night I connect my phone to pc and the pc sometimes see my internal and sometimes the pc doesnt recognizes my internal...I use Slimbean for a week now.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] kattzenfleisch:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] atyusha:
I have wiped cache/dalvic cache as it was suggested before... twice... didn't help at all :(

also, in the CWM Recovery I saw that sdcard0, sdcard1, datadata, system and data are "unmounted"... I have mounted them all, but it didn't make any difference either :( (I'm not sure if it would even make any difference, or these mount/unmount setting is only for CWM Recovery, because on the next boot into CWM everything but cache is unmounted again

any other idea on what can be done to fix it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] atyusha:
here's another update.

I've flashed different 4.3 ROM ([ROM][JellyBean][4.3][Official]BeanStalk Build 4.3.1015 - Updated 10/27/2013 - 4.3) - same issue. next day I went back to stock, and formatted everything I could (all but "android secure") - it didn't help either. Now I have Ginger Bread, with same partitioning problem - about 1.2 GB for system and apps, and about 13 GB for everything else (I removed microSD card for now.)

I used to have all apps in one spot, and they would take a lot more space then 1.2 GB... now I cannot restore all of them from backup (Titanium Backup Pro), as there is not enough space.

I don't remember having such partitioning before I flashed it with 4.3 ROM

any suggestion? have I missed anything?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kattzenfleisch:
there seems to be no update on that problem
[Motorola Droid RAZR] atyusha:
here's good reply on this problem from another forum:

to support this, here's my story: I have already went back to Froyo, and saw that internal storage is 1.8 GB, now I'm back to 4.3 ROM, and it's 1.26 again :rolleyes:

looks like I always had it all partitioned, but I haven't noticed it until system partition got changed and internal storage became smaller.

it might not be true for all other phones, as they can be partitioned differently, but it's true for samsung infuse, and probably for a number of other samsung phones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gautam Padirooted:
I have tried CM10.2 , PA RC-2 , slimbean , and even carbon 4.3 but none of these roms detect my internal storage
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kattzenfleisch:
the problem also appears on CM11 (Android 4.4) :(

i need to wipe the /cache partition bevore every boot

then it mounts the storages, but if i don't wipe it it won't mount the internal storage

so the problem has to be on the /cache partition?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iZak17:
Hi,

I though this issue was happening only with the 4.3 based ROMs but that still happens even with CM 10.2 ROM.

That failure is not happening all the time, sometimes you just need to wait after the boot and there is the ext-sd again.

yes i think it happens very sporadically

But then when i rebooted my phone after using clockwork, my phone would not boot up after the start screen.

I am able to use recovery mode and download mode but i cannot go anywhere beyond that.

I also tried restarting it with Odin but it wont recognize the device even though the proper drivers have been installed.

I have tried unplugging it in different usb slots and ive reinstalled Odin.

Is there anyone that could possibly help?

I just got a new battery, a fliptroniks 2000mAh. I put it in my phone and plugged the charger in now it shuts off and then the screen flashes on and off the beginning of the charging battery sequence (the circle of dots). I let it sit thinking it would charge but it just flashes the circle of dots on and off. :confused: It never did this with the original battery I have.

I am running BeanStalk Build 4.3.05 - MTD - Android 4.3 - 8/19/2013 with the 7/26/2013 GAPPs and have CWM 6.0.3.7. I tired charging the battery while in CWM and it does the same thing. :(

I've tried searching xda/google and haven't found a good solution except for to go back to using the original battery or use an external charger. Both aren't really a useful solution for me. I really need a longer lasting battery since my original one is awful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I already did that. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't believe my issue is that, since this is only happening with the new battery I just bought.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
trying to determine if the problem lies in hardware of software(os) is simple.

try the hardware on stock gb unmodded and then compare it's behavior to the custom rom

when ever you get a glitch (sound/video/bt/signal/wifi) etc..flash it back to stock and you can make the determination yourself

[Samsung Infuse 4G] deaddigitalangel:
Well I just flashed back to stock and the battery does the same thing. I was also sent another one and it does exactly the same. >.< I really don't think I could get two bad batteries in a row but anything is possible. What else could cause this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
possibilities:

1. bad usb charge port

2. bad charge cable or power block

3. corrosion anywhere along the power line

4. power button sticky or failure

suggestions:

1. change usb cable

2. change usb charge block

3. open phone and clean up suggested areas

if that doesn't work consider:

1. sending back to manufacturer for repair

2. alternative repair -mobiletechvideo, repairuniverse

3. give the phone away

4. sell the screen

5. get a new phone :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deaddigitalangel:
I'm starting to think this battery series just isn't working correctly with my phone (possibly not working with any Infuse). I have no problem charging my original battery that came with the phone with any charger I have. Has anyone else had issues with third party batteries? I didn't think going to a 2000mAh battery would be this much of a hassle.

EDIT: *lighter, forgot to check spelling. Lol

So my Evo 3D has finally called it quits and I have one month left till I leave Sprint so my friend gave me this phone that he doesn't use any more. For such an old phone I really can't complain about it, compared to my Evo 3D which runs CM 10.1 too it never crashes, always has GPS, 3G, 4G working fine and the battery lasts me all day. So I'm in love. But my one and only issue is it is extremely slow. And no I will not leave CM 10.1 as I use Google Now very often but if their are huge differences/opportunities for huge differences I'll go down as low as CM 10 or a different 4.0+ ROM.

So I was wondering is there a lite version of CM 10.1, recommended kernels that support both overclocking and undervolting, can someone explain how to make a swap partition on the SD card, and so on, just any ways to free up RAM, speed up the CPU/GPU, and lighten the load of the OS.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
"Light version": do it yourself with a root-enabled explorer. Google and you'll know what system apps can be deleted.

OC&UV kernel: Nitest maybe.

Swap: IDK

Free up RAM and speed up: I personally use Autostarts and Advanced Task Killer (Pro), but Greenify seems easier to use. You get ~80MB free RAM after a clean install, but can get 190~220MB after heavily using these. I don't use gapps so YMMV.

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM10.2
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herculeesjr:
I've already deleted every system app I'm comfortable removing using Root Uninstaller. After having everything I have to have installed on the phone, with as many apps set to not run in the background that I can and Greenify helping too, I tend to have 10-70MB of RAM free, it tends to be 15-35MB free though. I don't use task killers since all they do is play cat and mouse and waste battery, and tried a few auto start managers but can't really get into using it with how complicated they are. Right now the main thing I want to figure out is getting a swap partition up and running since that sounds the most promising with how little RAM this phone has.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herculeesjr:
Did a backup and switched to the nitest-0721 kernel and so far it's doing good. Disappointed the OC only goes up to 1.2GHz but it's better than nothing (don't understand kernels that limit how much you can OC when it's up to you to find how much your phone can OC), hopefully I can find a way to get it to go higher, and the "voodoo color" is weird but I can install a different version of the kernel to remove that if my eyes don't adjust first. Anyways... my free RAM now stays between 100-200MB, usually about 160MB, with 18% zRAM, purging of assets, and samepage merging enabled which is amazing. Apps are opening faster and don't stutter anywhere near as much as before, so I'm happy but will see how things go tonight when I go to work and am playing with it on and off, along with need to find a way to really overclock it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamterence:
Try going with one of didhiy's nitest kernels and maybe a different AOSP ROM, like AOKP, PAC, etc. Or try out SuperNexus even. That's an extremely lightweight ROM with no customization options (Its straight up stock Android, just like a brand new Nexus phone), but its fast and quite stable from what I remember.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreyjicha:
Or find one of didhiy's nutest kernels, those have live oc, more free ram, and i believe it goes to 1.4 GHz. I'm not sure though. But it is less stable than nitest
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herculeesjr:
Well I've run this kernel for a week or so now with the smartassv2 governor and min/max at 100/1200MHz. Zero reboots unless I'm playing Minecraft the entire phone locks up other than the button lights, no matter what I do it crashes sooner or later but oh well I'm bored of that game just wanted to see if it'd play on this phone. ANYWAYS I've heard of it being done before but can't find any info on how to do it, how can I overclock past what the kernel allows (1.2GHz), I've seen reports of this phone handling 1.5GHz and want to see if I can reach 1.4.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
The frequency is still limited by the kernel...

1.5GHz is history (too unstable and hot so that devs stopped including it), and only Gingerbread/ICS custom ROMs can get that frequency via flashing corresponding Sanders/Shadow/Samurai kernels and overvolting as well, which is definitely not good.

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ AOSPA 3+ 3.99
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herculeesjr:
I just seriously hate kernels that limit how high you can overclock instead of making OC options to unreachable levels letting you find your phones limits. People make kernels, roms, hacks, etc so we can get around limitations that the hardware vendors put up. So if we've managed to circumvent the manufacturers blocks why are the same people that got around them making their own blocks, they already put up silly warnings about anything you install/do could break your phone but if you're going to give that warning it needs to be true. Anyways ending my rant lol...

I know their has to be a way to edit a kernel or file to add more options since the kernel creators can't do the job themselves, it's just finding out what and where these files are. Can anyone inform me on this and give me details on how this whole system of controlling clock speed works so it can be modded?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
Uh, AFAIK, isn't these frequency decided only when the kernel is COMPILED (from source code)? I don't exactly know...
