Hey [MENTION=2895830]rgerrans[/MENTION]! Is 10/10 working out good for you?

I kind of did something stupid. I got "a little antsy" on 10/10 and took the jump directly to 10/12 w/out giving 10/10 a fair test. CM11 build 10/12 is not really a good build. At least for me it isn't. Whether it really is just a bad build, or my system needs a clean-out, I'm not sure of. Build 10/07 worked so well I think the system is alright.

* I don't mind admitting my mistakes and how they happened in the thread. If my mistakes help others avoid them, then we now have a useful and helpful post.

I am having issues with Nightly Build 10/12: orange bars, connectivity issues, "sluggish feel", and occasional FCs on apps. I have restore my 10/07 backup.

From what I recall, 10/10 was pretty good. I jumped to 12 because I have a good 07 backup, can revert if necessary, and did restore the backup. I will probably now update to 10/10 again to give it a fair shake. I don't remember orange bars in it but for sure saw lots of them in 10/12.

ONDEMAND is a nice CPU Governor setting and is the most widely used in cellphones distributed from stores and providers. You get a good balance of performance and battery life with it. The concept is simple: Idle at lowest frequency 300MHz and as soon as

any task

is sent to the CPU, it shoots up to full blast at 1200MHz, getting the job or jobs done quickly. It then resets the CPU back to idle frequency quickly to wait for the next task. Nice! :D

There are a LOT of other CPU Governors and many of them can save you a little more battery power. But they are for experienced users who really want to wring every last drop of battery and CPU cycle they can out of the system. I am happy with the balance of ondemand. For those that want to know more, there is a pretty good explanation of them here, bookmark this page:

Unless you are really experienced and a total "hands on" guy, it is recommended to leave these advanced governors alone. :)

I don't know if the Global Mobile Networks setting will really help us in the US that much. It does give us the CDMA + LTE/EvDo that we all use, plus a couple of more options, GSM (Not used in the US) and WCDMA (Third generation 3G). Global gives the system more choices to take the best available network connection. It does not hurt to try, if it does not help or work, you can always go back to CDMA + LTE/EvDo.

[MENTION=5362796]Dwillian[/MENTION], I did download the playservice zip but now I see why you had to bump up your system partition to 800Mb. I cannot flash it because the file is 88Mb and I have 84Mb left in my system partition. Not hard to change, I just have not gotten around to it yet. ;)

Summary:

Well, Nightly Build 10/12 was a total bust for me. I am back on a proven good rom, 10/07 and will do the 10/10 update again to give it a fair test. It did look good but with only a few hours on it, I really didn't bet to give it a full test and enjoy it.

EDIT:

Back to 10/10 and this is really good for the last 6 hours. I am going to run this a while until something better comes along, for sure not 10/12. :)

I am looking forward to seeing some other reports to confirm 10/12 as bad or what else good comes along. Will give reports when I have them. ;)
