Benchmarks

Well I ll share my battery stats if you like but after 2-3 charges so the battery will settle down and be more accurate. Btw I ve done some benchmarks the couple last weeks between all KitKat ROMs available and AryaMod v6 with android 4.1.2. According to antutu this ROM scores an average of 12049 out of 5 tests, with the second best being Asylum Omni with 11651 on average! All others were performing a lot worse and the last as expected was AryaMod with 9398 on average! So you should thank FJ for this great and buttery smooth ROM and the SlimRom team!

Thanks bro and one last request add power saving mode :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Theo Chamalis:
+1 to that if it is possible :) . What was causing the battery drain on standby mode FJ cause it might be still there (maybe it's in my mind or smthng) and I don't see any wakelocks by BBS or Wakelock detector except if it is greenify's problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] gtsfreak:
It maybe Google plus it drains a lot of battery
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Theo Chamalis:
Nah, it is something related to the ROM or a greenify issue since I installed the micro gapps package, no games or social network related apps and I uninstall always some apps which are included by default like gmail and Latin IME(I use swiftkey :P) etc. I will see how the phone behaves after 2-3 charges and then I ll be sure. I'm just curious about what the standby battery drain issue was caused by :)

I want to report that exfat support on your rom is not working as it should. I am facing that folders turning into files which is the same issue we have faced before when you merged the exfat support around two month back i guess.

I've tried using the official slimkat and the exfat support is working flawlessly with latest weekly for the n7000.

iam having battery issues and/or trouble charging the phone with any USB port other than a stock wall charger on the last two builds. I used to be able to charge on my desktop computer USB port but not anymore... Maybe my phone's charging/USB port is going bad...I hope not. It charges fine with the stock wall charger. Has anyone else noticed the CPU using more juice or revving at higher clock speeds in standby and idle? Mine seems to keep one core at 500 even when it is not performing any tasks but then again I wasn't monitoring it in the past so i have no reference point. Or is it finally time for me to retire this badboy?

Edit: I replaced the original battery (which went bad) about 11 months ago with a fresh OEM...it should still be good

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fusionjack:
thanks for the feedback. i was trying to fix it last night and it seems good till now. i'll observe it again till tonight.

it looks like something causing cpu stuck. see in settings - battery, which app drains battery the most.

Battery Life

As I promised here is how the battery performed in my Note in the previous build! Screen on time will get around 4 hours to me and the phone will last about 2 days. I turn airplane mode at night since I have a bad reception in my area and it drains a bit my battery

Hi FJ,

Is it may be possible that you check the Forrest CM kernel, we could speed up slimsaber a bit with OC Kernel!

As far as I understood Slimkat isn´t able to run this CM11 Kernel??

Is Slimkat so specific? IS it not CM11 or what is the problem there?

Thanks for your great ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] terius:
i have a question, a come from the slim kat and try to test the saber, i install the CNW like is in the post 1, then install everything like is stated in the post, but when i reboot the phone stock in the samsung screen.....any help out there ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Theo Chamalis:
If you follow the procedure described properly you shouldn't have any problem, maybe you missed something. After flashing the CWM recovery, reboot to recovery not the system/phone or else you will get stuck (if you have twrp as default press reboot then recovery, if you have cwm choose advanced, then reboot recovery) ! After that your phone shoud boot to cwm recovery you just flashed. Then wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and choose advanced and wipe dalvik cache. After that return to the main screen, choose mounts and storage, then mount system and then format system. After all these you proceed to install the ROM and gapps from install zip option and choose reboot system now! Note that the first time booting takes a while (maybe around 3-5 min) and it seems to be stuck at SlimSaber logo but don't worry. Also you should note that the default recovery of this ROM is the latest version of TWRP and CWM is just used in the procedure temporary. I hope this helps :) Enjoy your new buttery smooth ROM ;)

Thank you so much for this stable and fast rom.

I only get high 3g battery usage compared to WIFI. I've check with BBS and RILJ is not the culprit.

OC is not the way to speed up the rom. it'll more cause harm and instability, so the answer is no. :)

slimkernel is based on cm kernel with slightly modifications.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Twiq:
I'm still wondering how did you measure 3G battery usage? ?

Anyway 3G will always consume more battery compared to wifi no matter what you do.. So.. You could only reduce 3G data traffic to reduce its consumptions ?

Hi fusionjack

Read some answers that we should full reset because too many changes in the latest builds. Is this true?

I am on a horse some weeks ago and don't want to reinstall the whole system again.

Any tips?

Can I maybe titanium backup and reinstall including settings?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] boris03:
Stupid word recognition

horse = release
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fusionjack:
it is because of the gapps, not the rom itself.

just format system manually and then flash rom + gapps. the data and settings are still intact.

if you are feeling unsure, just do a twrp backup.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Theo Chamalis:
Can this be useful for the future development of the ROM or is it too risky @FJ ? Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fusionjack:
the basic optimization O3 and strict-aliasing have been already used on slimsaber since the beginning.

enabling O3 means to enable some compiler flags that can be used to optimize codes to perform better. every flag has a meaning and its consequence.

from what i have saw in his commit, he uses O3 and so many additional flags which i doubt that some of them have been already used/enabled by using O3. beside, by using additional flags could end up disabling some optimizations.

imho, i don't like using too many additional flags, especially by using -Wno-error=strict-aliasing and i'm rather using the default one O3 since i'm no expert of the compiler flags.

having a good gcc toolchain and optimization flags is not the only thing to have a good rom. having a good written codes is more important. this is why i often cherry-picked commits that could help optimize the codes, not just bug-fixes.

also, we shouldn't forget that the other part of the android ecosystem is java. this part is not cover at all by a gcc toolchain and their optimization flags. the rom won't perform well if the java part is poorly coded, especially in frameworks/base. imo, the only thing we can do for java part is by having a good code and i see this in slimroms. :)

this is pure my opinion with no offense to somebody...:p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Theo Chamalis:
I agree 100 percent with you and what you have achieved with this ROM is a piece of art (not ART :p) IMO. I benchmarked all the kitkat ROMs I could find some weeks ago and SlimSaber outperformed all of them, even those compiled with Linaro toolchain. So from my experience the low level C-C++ code in android if optimized (like you have done) can make the device perform better even from low level quad-cores (I have a chinese mt6589 based device with 1gb of ram and my Note has better antutu score using your ROM)! I have only one question to ask, will you use the latest version of Sabermod toolchain (both for ROM and kernel) when it will be updated or will you stick with the current configuration for stability purposes? Thanks a lot again for this gr8 and solid stable ROM FJ and for keeping us updated with the latest SlimRom goodies :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] m1trand1r:
this^^^ us so true.....that's why there's no better rom than Slim rom.....period...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] pardus:
How can I get rid of a little bit of stutter and fractional delays that I'm having with my Note? Governor is 'pegasusq' and scheduler is 'row'.

Is there anything else I can change or set or optimize to improve smoothness of this ROM on my phone?

(BTW, [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION], thank you for keeping this ROM going and making it as good as it is)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] boris03:
OK thanks this was working.

Even that I cannot manually format in TWRP there is no menu/button - there is only wipe this is what I did.

Density 320 was gone and I need to reset - OK

Governour is now by default pegasusq, row, right?

And one thing is annoying the FC of Google service!

I tried to download from Playstore but cannot find this app.

So I searched on the PC and installed it from there again - this was working.

But it is the same version as on the phone before!

After reboot I still get the FC

Why is nobody properly describing how to get rif of this stupid error.

This isnt necessary for such a good ROM

Thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Theo Chamalis:
No such problem here even on the newest build AFAIK. Try a clean flash of the ROM and flash the newest gapps (cause the new gapps got a major rework) provided from SlimRom team. As soon as your phone boots and connects to internet, you are prompted by google play to update Google Play Services. Once you do that you are good to go :P

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

i had the same problems with mokee and nameless for me the problem solved with cleaning data off the google framework.

Try it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] fusionjack:
if you feels lag, take a look at that time whether the cpu is working hard. see it with cpu spy.

this could happen if cpu stuck because of something and any other operations would run lagging.

did you disable media scanner? if it is disabled, then the media files won't be indexed.

with the latest gapps, the google play service should work fine without fc. there was indeed play service fc some weeks ago.

try to format system manually and then flash rom + latest gapps. it should work...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] boris03:
Yes this is exactly what I did but not successfully.

Maybe with next release.

A small question.

It's a lot of time I have the same problem with this rom, but it seems the problem is getting worse.

My problem is the "back" function A LOT of time doesn't work: nor the fisical button neither using th eback function in pie. When I touch the fisical back button, the phone vibrate as normal, but nothing happen. Sometime I have found that if I switch off the screen and the on SOMETIMES back to work or I have to force close the application and the restart.

It's a known problem?

Once and for all this the the best KK ROM ever. The only thing I miss is, Theme engine.

The module: Xbattery Themer

In kitkat roms battery icon is no longer image files that could be replaced easily like in jellybean (which how that module worked). now the battery icon is a java code I think and that module will not work.
