You take this stuff very seriously. Enough where ethics needs to be involved. I am comparing the ROMs in regards to battery, not trying to point out who's better holistically. With such a significant change in battery, I thought it might be an unknown factor causing the drainage. I didn't know the ROMs were so unlike and it is unfortunate AOSP is substandard to durability.

What more "accurate picture" you need? I listed my battery stats and identified wakelock apps. I guess there is no need to continue posting considering you have answered to the battery issue. Great! :victory:

Hey [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] is there a way to enable soft keys like Nexus devices? I have a hardware problem with back button so id like to know if theres a way to enable on screen buttons. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] 69gm:
Whoa whoa, take it easy. I did, in no way, say anything with any malice intent. I was merely trying to educate you. Believe me, if I wanted to be insulting in anyway, you would definitely know.

What I meant by "accurate picture" was that you can't get a true picture of what's going on when you don't compare like things. That's all I was saying. Everything you listed is pointless because of how different Sense ROMs are with AOSP ROMs. Plus Viper themselves have done a great job in getting their battery life incredible.

In terms of me giving you a friendly warning about comparing ROMs, it has been a long standing XDA no-no on doing such things. Better to hear it from me than receive a moderators slap on the wrist, don't you think? ;)

But yeah, in a nutshel, for battery lifel, AOSP is going to be hard to touch Viper's Sense ROM, both in terms of Sense vs. AOSP as well as Viper's voodoo that do do so well! :laugh:

If you are getting 10-12 hours or so with about 2 hours screen time, that's pretty good for AOSP. As with anything, YMMV. If you're not getting anything remotely close, there is something wrong. Then further investigation is warranted.

If you ARE getting those stats and they are just not satisfactory, Viper will probably be your limit. Of course that means no KK for you.

Try Wakelock Detector in the playstore. It is pretty accurate and has gotten a good review by XDA developers.

Hope this helped.

Someone else noticed that the shortcuts are removed after rebooting? Only for the APPs that are on the SD....and I presume that if I turn the USB mode on would happen the same...:confused:

Any "solution" apart from moving the APPs back to the "phone"?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
There might not be a problem with the ROM on

some

phones. A prime example of this was back when ivanich and I were actively working on getting CAF framebuffer drivers fully functional. Using the CAF framebuffer drivers, the kernel booted on all devices using a display manufactured by Sharp, but it wouldn't boot on some devices using a display manufactured by Acer. In other words, for some people the kernel with the new framebuffer drivers worked perfectly and they got to enjoy the smoothness resulting from the new framebuffer drivers, while others were stuck at the white htc splash screen.

Not all devices are created equally, and not all people use their phone the same way, so those people may very well not be experiencing any issues.

New problems pop up because the code is always changing, and I'm actively developing the kernel and the device-specific parts of the ROM. If I just used the same code over and over again, and released a new ROM build that only contained upstream changes from CyanogenMod, then that would be boring and no real progress would ever be made.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:

Another log; this time the phone rebooted right after updating an app from Play, though I'm not sure if that's related.
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Probably because of the new WiFi drivers & wireless stack, which I'm going to revert in the next kernel release. All your last_kmsg says (and the previous one as well) is that the system froze so the kernel decided to reboot instead of remain frozen.
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Ah, thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] krakout:
Here's another log; this time what happened is quite regular with this version: screen turns off (by time out or manually), and if I try to turn it back on before several seconds have passed the buttons will light up but not the screen. After a few seconds - reboot.

Just a short feedback to the point with navigation problems. Even after calibrating the device via maps and GPS Status, it's still hanging, jumping and driving off-road when navigating with Google maps.

Yesterday I needed to switch to my hardware navi, because maps was absolutely unusable.

I think the Issue comes with "Updated RIL to 4.0.0056HM" because if I use the RIL 4.0.0056HM on Albinomann887's 4.2.2 (normaly very stable) I get also issues around GPS. So the issue comes with the latest feature update in Version from Apr. 13.I hope this is changed back. Otherwise, the ROM is very good.

Use the lenovo super camera. Way better than stock, both in clarity and features. Also, no camera issues with focus on cm flemmard.
[HTC Sensation] sebastianpark:
Ok then it have to be a different issue.
[HTC Sensation] jorra:
Afaik the gps use the NTP clock to approximate where the satellites are. The app use a custom made almanac ('wtf are the satellites' file)file together with the NTP to get a faster GPS lock.

So if you have a shady working GPS it will probably work better with this than with the default almanac info. So it's not a fix, more of a 'speed it up and you might not notice it's faulty' thing. :)

[HTC Sensation] fbf2201:
How can anybody know that, without any useful information?
[HTC Sensation] smint86:
I have similar problems, while I think it's connected to the status bar or notifications. The reboot is always just a soft reboot (directly to boot animation), after this the systemui crashes turn up. Also, it's almost not possible to use the phone regularly after the soft reboot. After a hard reboot, everything is fine again. It turns up, when I get multiple notifactions at one time, but not always. Didn't find a way to reproduce it. As there were some status bar problems in shanturs cm11 with flemmard 3.4 kernel too, maybe it's related to some cm11 upstream and gets fixed by this. I would be interessted in [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] s opinion. I posted also a log of this some pages back (as the soft reboot doesn't create a last_kmsg, it's obv from after the manual hard reboot): https://www.dropbox.com/s/keo39qi9z7gz1ul/last_kmsg

Yes it's a CM problem happening in all CM ROMs. We have to wait until CM fixes it then devs can incorporate the upstream. Until then, use an older version or wait patiently. Nothing any dev can do for now...

Best version for Mom's daily driver?

Hey everyone! It's me again.

Just a FYI I've upgraded! On March 22nd I bought a broken LG Optimus G E970 from ebay for $71, and bought the parts (Back plate and camera) for $23 and $7. So I haven't been playing with the latest versions of the ROM to know if they're okay for my Mom's phone.

But her phone is running 03/09 and I'm wondering if I should update it? Should I leave the ROM alone and just update the Kernel? That seems to be where most of the changes have been from the change log. If just the Kernel is the latest okay? I've been reading about you guys having issues with the latest 04/13 release and I'm not sure if that's Kernel or ROM related.

Also, I'm now selling my Sensation, hopefully for $90, would any of you be able to recommend the best combo of ROM / Kernel for a phone that's being sold and no need to worry about backing up and restoring?

Thanks guys! Hope I'm not asking to much. It was a pleasure to be a part of the Sensation community for the 18 months I was. :D
[HTC Sensation] Ch3vr0n:
As far as that optimus goes, you're in the wrong forum. On the rom part, the march 25th build is fine to flash. It's only the latest ROM that had issues and that's due to upstream changes from cyanogenmod themselves. There's also a few issues with the latest kernel on the Wi-Fi part that sultan will be reverting in the next build. On the best part, there is no such thing, what I may find the best combo may annoy the hell out of someone else.

[HTC Sensation] smint86:
Maybe you should think about changing ROMs or investigating where your problem is. But your post just sounds rude and doesn't help anybody. In many cases, buying a new battery (I'm always recommending Anker 1900mAh) will help a lot. Besides that, look for wakelocks (using batterbatterystats, get it for free from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809), use greenify to get rid of heavy apps running while display is off. I'm getting pretty good results with this ROM, 3h screen-on time together with ~15h idle im complete. Besides that, I really can say that there is currently no "drain" implented in the ROM or any bug which could cause this. All AOSP KitKat ROMs use way more battery than Stock ICS or Jellybean, but it's not that hard when you make a good and battery friendly configuration.
[HTC Sensation] jorra:
some polish developer group claim that there's a major battery bug in all cm11 releases (for all devices). They don't say what it is, the only tip I found was that it has to do with the circle battery icon. Don't know if it's anything important but might be worth checking out. Original post here:

Battery on CM has never been good:

http://blog.gsmarena.com/cyanogenmod-oppo-n1-battery-life-test/

Using the official CM ROM for my Nexus 5, I can't even get 2 hours of screen-on time. I had to install one of the custom kernels available and underclock my CPU to 1.5GHz, and even then I only get 3 hours of screen-on time. On stock AOSP I could get up to 5 hours screen-on time, without underclocking or playing with the system at all. (I should've gone for an HTC instead :p)

I've almost never seen something on CM gerrit designed to improve battery life, except for some tweaks to CPU governors and device-specific changes to the kernel, but those don't count.

This is a known bug that Sultan is working on. If you really need this feature, he recommends downgrading to an earlier kernel.
