Don't use init.d and tweaks. They are all good, but they waste CPU and battery, which in reality means they are pretty bad. Tweaks can only work in concert with Android System, if they are implemented on a kernel level, which means unlocked bootloader and custom kernel, which in turn means: very few or none available, because there are just a few custom kernels and a lot fewer (among them) that are made by those who know what they are doing. In addition, even if they know what they are doing, it is not necessarily their goal to implement tweaks...

Apart from social apps and Google junk that waste your battery and CPU, try to disable Google Services Framework, but only after you have downloaded something from Googleplay and used the apps. A few users reported that they were able to continue to use Google services after disabling GSF. The crucial point is to disable GSF after (not before) using Store or other Google services, that is after your account/phone et all have been duly registered with NSA...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
Thanks, but I am not in interested in disabling GSF.

and the ROM doesn't have init.d support, does it?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Have flashed your newest all in one and is running fine. I used Niobac's advanced camera and it flashed fine as well. Seems to have no bugs that I have seen and 1080 is fine. One thing I did notice is live walls are removed but all of the live walls are still there. Not a issue just saying :P

The only thing that bugs me is I really want the 4.2.2 small apps on here but if I use that framework it ends up with sd card issues where the device will not see it or the device will see it but it wont mount in windows. I also tried the stock framework file but that ends up in a device that has no functioning apps. Still playing with it trying to get it to work as it is very slick compared to what the old one is.

This is de best battery life that i got from de honami update rom with battery fix update after 35mins of voice calls and other screen isage and disabling google framework and some apps . Screen usage was at 25% brightness . Below i has attached some pics
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I hope you are not complaining, as in my view, 20+ hours on an active phone (not overnight, but actually the phone being used) is pretty damn good. Try to switch the phone to 2G during the night or when you are not using the internet and you will get even more juice...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Well it includes 6hours of idle mode at overnight also where 4-5% battery drain is only seen at overnight and i ONly use 2g that is gsm network mode only
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
So, you are complaining. I have looked at your prior posts and it seems you have been complaining from day 1. Note is not black; widget is not black; widget is black in widgets, but not black when it is put on the screen; then when I improved the battery, you said it was better before the fix; that volume panel became white after the fix; then you said that the rom without honami camera had better battery life; then you complained that media server drained your battery. I probably missed something...

There is nothing wrong with the rom. Your battery drain is the result of your use. By all means, go for another rom that you think has a better battery life, i.e. can last for more than 21 hours with your type of use. Or feel free to improve this rom and post your fix for sharing. After all, this forum is by developers for developers. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
The battery life is great on this rom. In fact there's really nothing to complain about. I prefer miui, but I have a backup of this that I go back to sometimes.

I guess if I had to complain, I'd say a few things (notes app, "cancel" "done" ) have light gray text on white, tough to read in certain lighting. No big deal.

The other thing that boggles my mind, is the camcorder on bungkahe is so damn smooth on 1080. There's so many cameras and "fixes" floating around that it's hard to figure out how to get the best combo.

That all being said, I really think this dev knows what he's doing, this rom is rock solid, and is my favorite stock like rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
No no am pretty satisfied with this rom than other roms . And thats why still i use this rom . Am also satisfied with battery life . I was just sharing how battery is used . Infact i get better battery backup than other roms :laugh:

Superior Auto Works

Well, i read on another thread how to make superior auto mode work, tested it and can confirm it works.

To do it:

1.clear data from the camera app.

2.launch the camera using the PHYSICAL SHUTTER BUTTON. If you select superior auto from the camera menu you will get a black screen and will have to clear data again.

3.Do NOT touch the 3 dots to go into settings, otherwise you get black screen and have top clear data...again.

News Flash

Ok, got called in for a little "Off Topic" thread cleaning.

Now, here is the procedure for "ANY" accusation of "kang". Otherwise know as "using somebody's work and claiming as your own". Using without permission is a different matter, but the procedure is the same.

What is the proper procedure

1. Contact a Forum Moderator, specifically stating the accusation. Supply all necessary information regarding exactly what and where in the app, including specific code changes.

What is NOT proper procedure

1. Posting accusations in the forums. This does nothing but get your moderators attention because you failed to follow procedure, starts flame wars, and Mods have to come clean up the mess.

Now, if there is an issue, I would suggest the owner of the app/rom/kernel do a "report post" on the thread. Be ready to explain "exactly". Do not just say "he stole my apps".

Thank you, and thread cleaned.

Cheers

Hi,

what's your Governor Setting from the cpu?

Gesendet von meinem LT28i mit Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I have left it to original stock settings. In my view, it is not vanilla settings that cause problems, but rather multiple scripts implemented by those who don't know what they are doing. Each script is good, but when there are too many of them, they fight each other and android system. Some say adjust oom and sripts will be OK. No they won't. They kill an app and kernel restores it. Or they bring an app into ram and system shuts them down. Look at battery graphs on any rom using more than 1 script: you have system using 30-40% of battery. In my rom system is at 6%. But I have removed not only battery wasting apps, but also supporting files in framework and other places.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
You da man. Your rom does have great battery life, keeping it simple is good practice. Even with a lot of apps installed it runs very swift. I ran that one rom that just got posted, was very smooth for awhile then I started to have a lot of issues. It's full of init.d scripts and build prop tweaks. I tried applying the scripts and tweaks to miui, and ended up with the same problems.

Not trying to knock anyone's work, just my experience.

Exactly. In the beginning, every rom is the fastest and smoothest: because you just installed it and it hasn't had a chance to put doodles in your system. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Thank you to all users and supporters

You know we have a problem with that other rom where all of a sudden users had exactly the same additional options and addons as in my AobaPureblack. I confronted the guy and apparently so many users did too, which a bit backfired, because I got a PM from moderators indicating they are looking into this, but they were upset that so many people complained, as opposed to me only. Well. This is not about me or this rom. This is about honesty and integrity. Thank you all...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bugly Astard:
There's only 4 things I could suggest for this rom. Long press toggles to its settings, clear all in task switcher, long press back to kill app, and long press volume to skip track.

I suppose if the rom is efficient, then killing apps isn't entirely necessary, but some apps like titanium backup hang sometimes, it's nice to be able to kick the apps ass for misbehaving.

This rom and miui v5 for locked bl have been the most reliable roms for me, both have one thing in common, no scripts or crazy tweaks. However on the recent build of miui, supercharger was added, I had to remove it, having issues. Now it runs as well as this pure black rom, although not quite as smooth.

If I was selling my phone, it would have this rom on it. Because miui is not for everyone.

3 of the features (except settings toggle) you have mentioned you can get by using Gravity module of Xposed framework. If you get also Greenify module, you can hibernate any app you want. Hibernation is different from killing/freezing in that the application is inactive (not frozen) until you start it. In my experience, it works except for Messaging and E-mail. You can certainly hibernate Titanium and many others. The app works itself, but you can also bring up its widget and periodically press it, and the app reports: nothing to hibernate or such and such app is hibernated. Xposed has virtually no footprint on memory or battery: it is just a bridge that sits there waiting for command.

You know there is a separate camera from Nexus in the rom, which is still faster than stock (it also has all the features and more). With regard to stock camera, check other posts in this thread as several users reported success in getting a combination of stock and Rizal Lovin's app working.

Speaker: make sure that Xloud engine is enabled in settings/sound...

For speaker issue, try turning on X-loud only, keep Clear Phase off all the time.

A Word of Caution on Kitkat mantra and Scripts

A few words of caution about kitkat and init.d scripts.

Kitkat: Anyone who says his rom is a kitkat rom is either deceiving you or doesn't know what he is talking about. At best, such attempts should be called kitkat themes or wallpapers. These roms, which have a theme, couple of new icons in systemUI or even a few new apps shouldn't even be in the development section.. Kitkat is not a theme or wallpaper. It is an operating system, which is drastically different from JB, ICS and others. It is the first attempt by Goolge (and quite a sloppy one in my view) to break infamous fragmentation of Android and reduce OS footprint on the system. In plain English it means, Kitkat potentially could be used on a wide range of devices including older ones (that's fragmentation). Reducing footprint on the system means Kitkat could be used on devices with limited memory and weaker CPUs. Also, kitkat is a further attempt (and this is where Google is succeeding) to implement more and more features that reduce your privacy and make sure that everything you do with your device is known to Google & partners. By the way, no one has been able yet to port real kitkat to JB...

Scripts. To put it simple -- if you see a rom that has more than 2-3 scripts in init.d, you should run, because those scripts will stress your CPU and ruin your battery. In the beginning (on the first boot), almost every rom is fast and smooth. But not necessarily because of implementation of tweaks, but simply because upon flashing, you have a clean/wiped device and everything works fine. Only when you use the device for a week or two, you start to see issues. Try to clean/wipe your device and reinstall your current rom: you will notice that the phone becomes faster and smoother, because scripts haven't had a chance yet to put doodles into your system. Most scripts are good, but they are not designed to operate together with other scripts. In addition, they are not designed in concert with Android system. For example: some scripts would kill an app (that's what they are supposed to do), but your kernel would immediately restore it. Then the script does it again (yeah, scripts don't get surprised) and then kernel does it again too. Or, a script brings an app into ram, then Android kills that app. What would the script do next? You are right, it brings the app into ram again, which get killed by the system again. And what happens to CPU? It works all the time. And what happens to your battery when CPU works all the time? It dies rather quickly. Here is how you can know that you have this "virus." Look at your battery life and if your Android OS takes 20, 25, 30 or 40% of battery, you got the virus (of having multiple scripts). Even such good scripts as Supercharger and KillJoy result in the same outcome: Android OS takes 30-40% of your battery.

Again, scripts are good, but only if they are implemented on kernel level, which almost none of stock or custom kernels do...

I get what your saying and totaly agree but at the same time this rom still uses allot of juice. I have yet to see it not run android os less than 23%. After finding my sd card issues that are linked to jjwrongjj framework and small apps I can assure supercharge does work quite well. Now that being said I did have a issue while patching the jar files and had to disconnect the battery to get it to boot again. I was getting a day and a half easy on that setup. I even saw two days at one point.

Allot of what your saying is dead on but it seems to me what the real issue is the Z1/ZU framework. When ever it is implemented android os runs allot. This rom has for sure been one of the better options and I run it because I hate all that white lol ;) You do have a point though and not running booster and apps like it does make a difference. Oh and KitKat sucks :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Have you run this rom without supercharger? I have absolutely had no problem with jjwrongjj's framework and my System is consistently between 5-7%, just look at the battery stats I posted in this thread.

Edit: Look at the fresh screenshot: just a regular day...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
I have not supercharged this rom yet. I did on the rogers and it gave excellent results. As for my SD issue I can confirm it was his framework and 4.2.2 small apps. The SD card would dismount for no reason or would just disappear from the device. It also had issues with not mounting the sd in the computer. It did it on your roms and stock roms but the thread was closed before I could mention it to him. I also have had no luck trying to use his 4.2.2 small apps launcher with the framework in your rom.

At the moment I am running your all updated rom with google stuff and all the stock apps. Well most lol. It runs really well and I have had no real issues with it. The only thing that keeps coming back is android os eating battery. Doing a little searching on here today it seems to be at the core of the OS. Allot of other devices are showing similar issues. With a clean boot it does not show up but after a day or so without a reboot it slowly starts to ramp up. My device still sees over 24 hours on a charge and that's just fine with me. But still wish I could sort this out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
