...wow! Thank you very, very much for the detailed report, Daniel.

I did not mean to put you on the spot, but we are friends. We call each other by name. I know you like to take it easy. I also know you were running AOKP. So, what I did not know, is, whether you took the time to optimize 11/07 or "just took it for a ride". That makes a big difference, and it does indeed sound like you did your due diligence. Greenify everything, no "heavy hitter" apps like Facebook. Facebook Lite with Greenify is actually quite good, for me.

Since I have yet to run AOKP, I am not sure what you are used to. I know that Juan Pablo likes clean roms with not too many features to slow them down when he makes his AOKP roms. He pays attention to speed and clutter, so chances are that AOKP does run faster than cm11. But you have battery issues and decided to give cm11 another chance. First 11/07 because it was reputed to be the best so far, and then to the current 03/29 build. And, you like it. :)

Yeah me too! I had to do one reboot on 03/29 and it brought back the ghost memory of 02/02 again. That made me uncomfortable with 03/29. But [MENTION=3457922]stargo[/MENTION] is a very good developer and he has been further improving cm11 on his own, he has an OMAP4 phone. I have faith and confidence in him. So for me, today was a big day. Would 03/29 run well without a reboot "to clear it out" or anything?

Nope. The new 03/29 build is running extremely well on day 3! Uptime 28 hours. (A day is missing from the uptime due to the reboot.) Wow, 03/29 is really nice! I haven't ever really had battery issues on CM11 so, I can't comment on it.

I know you guys want me to test out AOKP. But I now only have ONE phone and this is it. I do not have sufficient sdcard space to give AOKP a fair test with Jellybean on stock, and a full sized CM11 install on slot 1. Jellybean is simply "taking up space" in stock since I never boot to or use it. It is only there as a "fallback" in the event that something goes horribly wrong with my daily cm11 rom and I have to keep trucking. The last time I tried to run 3 roms at once like this, the new rom did not get a decent sized rom slots, I could not do play store updates, not enough room. So Paranoid Android did not get a fair test. Once I saw it was much the same as CM11 and I did not have the space to run it well, I took it out. Man, I had like ZERO storage left with 3 roms on the phone!

So my AOKP test will come when I can push CM11 to stock, ditch Jellybean, and open up slot 1 for a new rom. The only issue holding me back is "which build of cm11 is final" so that I can push it to stock? Now we have a new 03/29 build and it is really, really good, so far. No rebooting again, it just runs slick, fast, and is waiting for my command. I need at least a week to test this, but so far, it is looking very good!

I sent Michael a note about the issues we were experiencing with 02/02, the "quirks" that drove most users away. Almost all of them he attributed to memory issues. And that makes sense. I long suspected a memory leak issue in late cm11 but have nothing to prove it with. I understand memory leaks better in Windows, Linux and Android are a bit different in the way they manage memory. In Windows, as in anything else, NOTHING runs unless it is opened up to run in RAM. No GUI, no processes. When the program is closed, the memory is released to the system for use by other programs and the OS.

But with a "Memory Leak", the program does not behave or close properly. The memory is not released and worse yet, may continue to fill with data, long after the program is terminated, and your memory fills up and runs out. Now you are running in "Crash City" and the only thing you can do is reboot to free up the memory again. Maybe we have that problem in late CM11 roms. I don't know. But 02/02 just got worse as days went buy. 11/07 never did that to me. Now 03/29 seems pretty good and may be the final rom. We will know in several days.

Thanks for the link, I will check that out when I get time. Things do do, two webpages, make dinner, already late at night. Have to go. Thanks buddy! :good:
