What app do you use to manage services?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dilesh Perera:
link is given above- disable service

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice&hl=en

just do a test
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ritonz:
I have been using "Disable Service" app for nearly a year now and its awesome. What I do is, I check for the apps running in the background in Settings/Apps/Running, look for the services running inside the apps there (e.g. GcmService inside Google Play services), and disable the sam in Disable Service. This always helps my phone get deepsleep. And since you are not disabling the whole Google Play services, you can still update your apps.

P.S. : Never disable anything keyboard related.

If you want to use the phone for gaming, you should go back to GB. ICS, JB and KK roms aren't suitable for games...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kriko:
GB mostly probably. However it's ancient.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tomi_Ohl:
Actually, I found that KK is nearly as good for gaming as GB. And I must use KK if I want to play GTA:SA. But now my RAM usage raised, don't know if it's because of JustArchi's optimizations or my theme (or both). How much is your used RAM on stock LX CM11?

I think I'll try stock LX for RAM usage.

Some comments after test build 3 20131210

This build better more build 1 but still some bugs:

- Some browser still lag, very slow or can't run

- Can't run media file large storage, ex: file.mkv And i dont know why after installed MX player, it's cant run, error:

unsupport this android version

In addition, new option add in setting use very good, with me this rom comfy more build 1. Thank Mike :D

I hope offical rom come soon :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] clientsiman:
This is a MX player problem. Everyone with Kit Kat has this problem. Wait for an MX player update.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DomusX10:
Mike,

if it's possible, can next release run in "low memory device" mode?

Because, reading comment in this thread about performances, I understand that in "low memory device mode" KitKat runs optimized, instead other mode (with trasparent bar) laggy on Arc S....it's true? What's your opinion about this situation?

Because if there is a way to obtain trasparent bar without loosing "low memory device" optimization, it's good...otherwise in my opinion it's better to have a device optimized without the transparent bar ( which can still be activated with Xposed if users want it) instead a beautiful UI but laggy device.

It's the "Low memory" set related only to UI (trasparency, gradient) or it's related to task killer, memory management also? Because I understand it's the second one...

Thanks in advance for your patience, time and works.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Steph310:
Vlc player works fine ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] cajhin:
You can already set ro.config.low_ram=true yourself, in /system/build.prop

Besides, Mike started to create a switch for it in settings.

The open question is, what should the default be?

IMO it was the right decision to turn it off by default, because everybody wanted to see the new shiny (transparent status bar) in KitKat.

When everyone has seen it (maybe when the Settings switch is ready) it might be good to switch the default to low_ram, because it is a better match for our 512mb devices.

The difference seems not that big; the status bar looks different (transparent only on top doesn't look that hot anyway), and you get more free ram -> better multitasking. Basically the flag tells all apps to be careful with ram if possible, so the results will also depend on the devs of your apps.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] JimieTheFox:
Well I have a 350 MBs RAM WT19i crapphone and it's working awesome with only a few tweaks and no " low memory device mode " ! The only thing I have actually changed is the use of ext4 + swap ! I'm using Transparent Taskbar and all and no lag anywhere...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Boudin:
Lags are not due to memory problems. There's clearly a problem with the webview component preventing it to create its graphical buffers with pmem, making it falling back to ashmem and failing to acquire a lock on its buffers with a timeout each time, hence the lags. It cause lags in every browser using webview except Zirco browser that works fine for me (I don't know why, it may use the component in a way that disable egl rendering).

These lags can be seen in every other app that use webview (like gmail).

I don't know if every application that need an egl context is impacted, but it seems that there's more performance problems due to this problem than rom tunning.

There's no way to avoid these lags yet other than stick to CM10.X
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mikeioannina:
ro.config.low_ram affects many parts of the system. Some of the stuff that gets disabled:

-transparent status bar

-shade when notification bar is pulled

-lockscreen widgets

-gpu hardware acceleration in lockscreen

-gpu hardware acceleration in recent apps

-probably many other stuff I haven't checked

Also the low ram config is now a public API that app devs can use (http://source.android.com/devices/low-ram.html) so it will be used by more apps in the future to check if the device has low ram.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mrahmanda:
so, is this better to use ro.config.low_ram enable right ?

i have no problem, if transparent statusbar feature will be disabled in the future

Battery drain :(

I am facing dreastic battery drain prob..:(

the rom is perfect without any major bugs and glitches but the battery drain is annoying though...i dont knw if its kitkat's os prob or what..

i've tried Disable service to disable certain services that I saw running in background but still no help...sometimes even wifi doesn't allow the device to go to deep sleep...what should I doo ??

Thanks in advance

and thumbs up for the developer who is still working on our ages old devices (y) :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Javier_sr:
Some tips to solve the battery drain problems:

- Make a clean installation; i use minimal gapps - http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/standard-minimal-gapps-t2012857

- Don't activate GPS or ubication services, if you need tu use GPS, or you turn it on just a moment, turn it off when you finish using it and REBOOT the device

- Same with bluetooth, turn off and reboot.

- Deactivate google sync services, in settings>acounts>google (deactivate all, sync, ubication). If you want to sync your contacts and apps turn it on, wait a while, then deactivate all and reboot (in this step i don't know if it's necessary to reboot).

- Use the energy save mode, you can change modes in the quick settings panel, adding the "performance profiles" button. You can change easily the modes, to save battery on standby and make the phone flys when you need to use it.

With this tips, i resolved my battery drain problems on mango, now i have 24h with moderate use, hope it helps you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] puiatmp:
turn off the device, plug energy cable (not usb from computer), wait the charge battery show or wait until 100% and restart the device.

more options:

for battery drain/no deep sleep

turn off the bluetooth

uncheck per-app profiles in settings>performace

go to setting>privacy>privacy guard and select google play services,google play store and long press it to get more options and deny both keep wake and wake up options

and then restart the device.

once you turn on the BT then u need to turn off the BT and then restart

if location services are draining battery then turn of it

for camera freeze while taking pictures or any other camera problem

uncheck Kernel samepage merging(KSM) in settings>performance> memory mangement

and then reboot

for yotube buffering and other yotube error

same fix used for camera problem above

uncheck Kernel samepage merging(KSM) in settings>performance> memory mangement

and then reboot

no voice during call for person on ther side

uncheck noise suppresion in call settings

for more free ram

uncheck themes in setting>security>notification access

I'm running cm11 nightly build 20140703 on smultron and facing the same issue. After reboot apps from the sd card are not present anymore on the main screen. Has anyone found a solution for this behaviour.

Went back 50 pages in the thread, but found no further comment.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Shamal5736:
Yup. Had the same problem in last two builds. Try different launcher. It helped me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] godlesplay:
are you using xperia home launcher?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] keibak:
It's the one included with the rom. I guess it's Trequet. Do you mean that with xperia home launcher?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] godlesplay:
you mean trebuchet, and disappearing shortcuts of apps from sd is known problem of xperia home launcher so I thought that you are using it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] keibak:
Yes. Trebuchet, is a hard word :) I did a clean install, so have a missed a setting like "wait until sd card is mounted to show apps"?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Grof87:

I'm using same BaNkS minimal gapps, but having problems only after BT usage. I'm always have GPS turned on, never stop any sync services, never use energy save mode - and never have battery drain, except after BT.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TechExhibeo:
try disabling xposed

i also had same problem once in previous build

i disabled xposed from cwm and apps were back :D

by the that prblem was created by a module named disable signature check so i uninstalled it and apps were back :D

yes i was using xperia home :P

u better try changing launcher if u dont use xposed or not installed any modules recently

and dont forget to check the mount scripts if u have partitioned your sd card :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ImmortAlex:
I never used xposed and never repartitioned sd card. I think, it's a problem with mouting procedure and/or Trebuchet. It also lost apps after connecting of smartphone to PC as USB/flash drive.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tomi_Ohl:
[MENTION=918582]guys[/MENTION] don't post more about launcher till you don't find a solution, icons of apps that are installed to sd disappear after unmounting sd card, that's known issue for most of us. Someone solved it by a complete fresh install, someone by disabling an xposed module, some people use an other launcher etc.

Even I found a workaround: install an other launcher. After reboot, select that launcher. Wait some mins. Now you can go back to Trebuchet and all your shortcuts are there.

I had the same problem with ringtone and notif. sound. I wanted to change them to CyanTone and CyanMessage, but every time I changed them after some days they were reverted to stock sounds.

Thankyou buddy...I was not able to figure out this prob...actually i've started disabling services that used to run in background..and used betterbatterystats to keep on device's awake condition...everyday it seems to be a new service..now i've applied the settings as you said...i'll reply within 1-2 days after checking and observing

few more questions I want to ask... I've installed "Camera Fv.. everytime i start the app a message comes "unfortunately camera fv has stopped...with two options to report and ok"

why doesn't work ??

and second one is it takes nearly about 10-15 seconds to boot from the kernel screen to cyanogen loading screen...why it consumes so much time ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] alexlatex:
mikeioannina

When phone is switched on from the off position when connecting the charger, something not boot included with the firmware or the kernel, which gives a full deep sleep the phone. It is necessary to find out what it is, and turn it off forever so you can reboot without a charger.
