I've been trying ART for the past few days and love the speed bump, but I miss some of the modifications that xposed gave me access to and I'm not sure yet which I'll stick with in the long run.

5HR Screen Time, Finally

I have my processor clocked to Min189-Max1134 ktoonservativeq+row and woohoo. 5hrs of screen time w/autobrightness and no compromise web/app usage. A tip, in gravity box change animations to .25-- w underclock the phone still feels lightning fast. <3 [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION]

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Roland_D:
I haven't been on XDA for a while... What is ART?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
Davik: I want all black and pretty yellow here and there (use gravity box and xtools) and xtheme deus x theme. This phone does not struggle at all even on the most demanding games: I can afford a couple of millisecond for the eye candy exposed brings. Exposed is the only thing holding me back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Locoman_:
A runtime alternative to Dalvik. It's quick but for me the downside is that it's not compatible with Xposed. And with the optimized Dalvik in this ROM, I don't find ART to be that much quicker.

Have a Google moment if you want to find out more...

Ktweaker its in your app drawer. Its the companion application for the kernel by ktoonsez. You can do negative things if you change too many variables without reading so tread with caution. Negative would = horrible battery life to random reboots and crashy app behavior.

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

In "developer options" you have to enable it by clicking Settings>About Phone>Build Number(click until it says you're a developer) >Back Button>Developer settings>Scroll down and change the three animation speeds to .25(xposed must be installed and gravity box enabled, then the .25speed will be present)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] musiconwax:
As far as I've known, ktweaker only works with his stock kernel an Nit the kernel built into dan's rom. Or, does the undervolting work with the included kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byte9:
Well, I'm on AT&T so my first step is always to load ktoonsez auto loki'd kernel instead of using Loki doki. So I'm not sure what the current stock kernel Dan is using. I made the assumption its still Ktoonsez because his name is in the thread head for contributors. That said, i did not mention under volting, I'm talking about under clocking because the phone still flies. I do use a slight -25uv which doesn't really help much beyond heat but i didn't mention that. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] musiconwax:
Call it an error in syntax. I'm using the provided kernel and don't have ktweaker in the app drawer. The provided kernel is ktoonz as far as I know, but built for this rom minus ktweaker functionality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byte9:
What carrier? And no worry on the syntax. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dannieloco:
Ive don't see ktweakier app.. am i missing it somewhere?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cyberidd:
Not if you're using the custom kernel built for this rom that is linked in the OP. That kernel is specially optimized for this rom so ktweaker isn't included with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byte9:
Depending on your carrier, It would be worth it to get a ktoonsez kernel, it will automatically install ktweaker. He's got one for most carriers. I know the kernel included is perhaps optimized with love but removing ktweaker removes a great deal of options from the kernel. Small changes in the kernel are what got me over 5hrs of screen time. That said, I have not seen enough people talking about screen time on the stock kernel. I know Dan did a good job to take care of things like auto-brightness so he does take care to balance towards battery life.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

Ah, now clarified. ktweaker is not included. Sorry, for me running this rom i automatically choose to use a different kernel because i would have to loki doki to even make the stock work. So my alternative choice is to use a kernel that includes ktweaker. You can too if your carrier>original development thread has a ktoonsez kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] musiconwax:
I use the included kernel and I'm on att. I can manage 2 and a half hours screen on time and at least 20 hours phone on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dannieloco:
thats about what I get.. On average i get 20 hours total battery and thats with moderate-heavy usage on texting, browsing the web, IG, FB when bored at work. I have yet to feel the urge to change to a diff kernel, which I always do with other ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byte9:
So in both cases as my original post showed, the reason I shared with you guys. I get 5hrs screen time with those settings. So specifically [MENTION=3883833]musiconwax[/MENTION] you should install the kernel with ktweaker. [MENTION=4721003]dannieloco[/MENTION] I don't know your carrier to advise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
But what's the total battery life I can pound 5 hrs. Screen time on any rom and any kernel. Phone may be dead by lunch but you're only giving half the key factors. Something to be proud of would be 5 hours and at least a day+ on total on battery.

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

I casually bring in 4 hours screen time and at least 24hrs. On the stock supplied kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byte9:
That's anecdotal talk, show me 5hrs screen time. That is real usage. If you get 5hrs of processor time with back light that's real usage. That's the whole enchilada. That 10% end time was the other day. It was over 24hrs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42441539

5 hours 23 minutes and 36 hours total usage. What I'm saying is a good battery will handle the screen plus be able to maintain. 5 hours and 12 hours phone time is worthless. Carry your charger with you

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoodSwinger:
So before I do anything...

I've been reading thru this over the last couple days admittedly skimming thru a couple pages here & there in the early parts. But wanted to make sure I got this all straight because I've never used Loki...

Then I noticed another potential problem maybe....Have I read this correctly that I can't flash this ROM being that I have the MK2 baseband?

Was going to flash TWRP using odin, but guessing there might be a problem doing that too now.

If I can't, could I if I update to the NB1 update?

If I can, I've already DL'd everything, and did my TiBU backups and nandroid...

the install steps as in the first post with loki-doki zip flashed right after flashing the rom and before the first reboot, is this correct.

Thanks for all insight and advice.

Cheers.

Home Button Wake Disable!

I am happy to report that I am back on this ROM now that I finally found a working solution to my Home button screen wake problem. I know some of you are looking for a solution for this too. I've been looking for a way to disable this for 2 months now so I could use this incredible ROM without killing my battery by waking up the screen in my pocket all day.

Once you have the Xposed Framework installed, download and enable the "Xposed Additions" Module. The free version has the ability to control button presses for conditions, such as screen off/on, which includes the ability to disable the home button when the screen is off.

Thanks for the great ROM Dan! Running as great as ever. Thanks for sharing your incredible work.

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

Your baseband doesn't matter. Your bootloader is what to check. If you are on the MK2 bootloader then you have a locked bootloader, you can't install this ROM, and you will need SafeStrap to install any other available ROMs. Never take an OTA update. It sounds like you have a custom recovery though, so you are probably good to go. Yes, ROM, loki-doki, first boot. Or get an auto-loki recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byte9:
If you have a custom recovery already then you can flash the rom, if you're on ATT you can simply install Ktoonsez kernel as it's already loki'd and it'll boot right up. Better than loki doki.

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

I don't get 5hrs of screen time and that's it. It's 5hrs of screen time out of 24+ hours. You have your assessment wrong though, if you get 5hrs screen time whether it's a window of 20hrs or 36... the phone is not going to give much more productive output than that. That's why you find most people discussing screen time because it represents real operational time versus sitting in your pocket doing nothing. The standby time is arbitrary to get into because we've all got different configurations, if you have a healthy battery and no parasitic drain (widgets, hanging apps etc which for discussion i just assume is the case unless otherwise presented). I myself use the paint off of my phone so It gets 5hrs screen time in a 24hr window and then i recharge it, you don't seem like a heavy heavy user if you aren't hitting 5hrs of screen time before a day passes. The full picture is that most people want to use their phones, I do and I shared my results and configuration as constructive data which is why we were talking about it. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
If you are rooted and updated just your modem to mk2 then your fine, however If I am understanding you correctly, you're on the OTA mk2 base? If so, you will try to brick your device by flashing any recovery other than SafeStrap for the time being I believe. Now, if you rooted while on mdb/mdl then you're okay. If you didn't though, and you rooted after your device was OTA updated to mk2 then no you can't just use loki and flash the rom. You won't be able to use the rom with safestrap either, atleast not at this time. You're best bet would be looking in the general section at the all in one guides for help with recoveries not the Roms themselves

Anyone else dealing Google dialer force closes? I don't know why this happens but my only solution is completely refreshing the rom. Any suggestions guys?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Locoman_:
This ROM doesn't have that issue.

Are you using Xposed modules to mod your phone. If so, disable the modules one by one, checking if your problem is resolved.

Try wiping both caches too?

In the end you should just verify your downloads have the correct MD5 checksums then do a clean install (full wipe).

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Frederick_1:
II've had this issue on several builds of this rom. I don't have any phone modules on. I did wipe both caches and turned off almost all of the display tweaks utilizing gravity box. I guess a full wipe then reinstalling is/has been my only solution

I've been having signal issues for the last week or so. My signal will randomly drop off and it will show "emergency calls only" as if I don't have a sim card or something. A reboot fixes the issue temporarily, but the problem is that I never know the signal is gone unless I happen to look at the phone and no calls or texts get through when it's out. I've tried the FMLD, and the latest KitKat radio (FNB1) from the rokkratt thread and I'm having the issue on both radios. Any idea what could be causing this?

EDIT: Yes I did a clean install of the latest build. So it's not a dirty flash issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
double check make sure all APN settings are good when your signal drops
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Ok I'll check it next time I notice the signal gone. By the way, am I using the right one now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Are you using Gravity Box's smart radio? I had issues like this when I tried that feature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
No it's not showing to be turned on. Would the network toggle options in the quick settings have anything to do with it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Options seen in Gravity Box for quicksettings network modes should be "enforced" only when using the network tile. If you don't touch the tile, it should not affect your network.

I'm impressed with WatchOn actually working on this AOSP rom. You think it's possible to get the stock TW camera to function properly on this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] stl-soldier:
We all wish. Unfortunately, no.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goliath27:
I personally would turn the GB radio on. I had the same exact problem as you; it happened a lot some times and other days not at all. When I turned on the smart radio, it dropped signal less, and it would actually reconnect without a reboot.

I have tried different radios, and different settings..nothing actually solved my problem. But the gravity box radio did help.

Update question - I'm on an earlier February build, would the latest update be bad if dirty flashed? I don't feel like doing all the backing up now and forget to do it before work.

First Thanks guys for all the info and advice...

Was gone this wkend and couldn't really do much in this way...so I guess first things first....I have looked around and can't figure out how to find out which bootloader I have...I could go thru everything but I don't want to hog the thread or waste anyones time...As it turns out I don't have a custom recovery, when I went into recovery it showed "android recovery", I also went into download mode and it did show "custom" there but I'm guessing that's because I rooted and the custom flag was tripped and shows when i reboot. Where is the best place to start to get the basic info I need, so I don't brick or anything? thanks.

Are you SURE I can do that? I actually already have terminal emulator from the Play Store installed, but followed the link for TWRP, which I am familiar with, but it says, I see where it shows instructions for using TEmu to install, but at the same time, down in the comments it says at this time (granted 22 days ago), that custom recovery still no go for MK2. I am rooted but that's it right now. This is my ONLY phone and while I have no problem working on it I can't "test". I need it to work.

Everything I've been reading tends to show this isn't possible. maybe it's becuz I wasn't sure of my BL before.

If I can, then I can install the Ktoonsez kernel, then I can go ahead with the ROM itself. Sorry but I just need to be sure. I'm not a beginner necessarily but I am still a novice, and I've done enough to make things work or mess them up and fig'd out how to fix, or recover and start over, and even found a couple work-arounds, but that's about it.

I know you're reaching for straws and trying anything but disabling gravity box isn't going to be the solution, not unless you have a lot of modules and one of them is a comm related module. Even then i would back them off one at a time. Gravity box isn't the cause, and it's so luscious.

That aside, have you tried manually adding the APN file? See if creating it in that fashion will set different/proper permissions and maybe behave differently? Also, have you setup the newest modem from [MENTION=2799235]RockRatt[/MENTION] - do you live/operate in a low signal area?
