[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
Yes, very different. If you look at that thread, the last edit on the OP by madmack was November 28th of last year and is no longer in development, yet official CM11 has evolved greatly between that time and now and has gone through many improvements and changes. I do not know personally if madmacks modem is still required for CM11 variants of KitKat, but I would wait and see how the stock modem performs before flashing it. I do know that madmacks modem is the one that I have installed and it has always performed flawlessly, but I flashed it back in September of last year when I first obtained my e980, as of that time it was a requirement for CM10.2 when I rooted and flashed that ROM and I have kept it through all flashed since that time.

That said, madmacks modem is definitely an excellent choice for anyone wanting to try a flavor other than factory. Just make sure your device is the e980 before flashing though, I do not know what the results would be if it were flashed to a different model of our device.

That is the main reason that I was urging the previous user to try his factory modem first (at least I thought it was his factory modem) with CM11 before flashing any other to see how it performed. A lot of these things are hit and miss and your, or my, mileage may vary with any given modem depending on locale.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
I understand what you are saying about it being a hit and a miss with somethings.

I moved to CM with m6 and had the deep sleep issue. The modem did fix it. I thought that it was a standard issue for cm roms and this phone. Wondering if it had been fixed, if anyone has flashed recent cm builds without needing it?
[LG Optimus G Pro] metal1f3:
Just flashed this ROM. I've lost 10% in 15 min of casual use. I haven't used cm in a while. Is this normal? Is anyone experiencing anywhere near stock battery life?
[LG Optimus G Pro] jmartin72:
I would say my battery life is better than stock.
[LG Optimus G Pro] GreatCaesar:
So I've read through the Cyanogenmod FAQ's and through various threads but I still can't seem to find definite answers on the nightlies so here it goes:

1. Do nightlies work like small updates you do frequently? As in, I shouldn't have to clean wipe after every nightly correct?

2. Do you use the Cyanogenmod updater in the settings in order to update each nightly?

3. I should flash with every nightly release right? Or could I be on nightly 6/22 then flash 6/24?

I've only used stable build roms to bear with me here. Thanks for your time. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
Android os drain what the hell. I don't understand you go to one rom and it sleeps good but when your on the phone it just eats battery or when your on the phone battery is good but will not deep sleep. I am bout to go back to stock never had problems like this with other phones and roms. For the past 2 months I have been flashing and fighting with this. Really aggravated
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
1 - Nightlies are the very latest, bleeding edge releases of CM. Each nightly is a full download ROM package, the only time a clean wipe is required would be upon install of your first one.

2 - You can use the CM updater, but each download is the full package. If you want quicker updates and smaller download packages, download CyanDelta Updater from the Play Store. It downloads only the part of the package that is new and creates a flashable nightly package. This saves greatly on bandwidth.

3 - It is safe to skip a nightly or two and flash the latest. But with CyanDelta it is very quick and easy to stay up to date with each and every one.

Camera Question

Hey guys, please help me out here. When i flash CM11 or any of the CM11 based roms, my camera has one issue always. In the dark, it does not use flash to focus. Tapping on the screen just causes the focus circle to go red/green but the camera led does not flash. So I just want to know if this is a CM11 issue or if am the only one facing this issue. Thank you in advance.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
I use procapture now and it works fine. The Google kitkat camera I used previously and that worked too.

Which camera are you using?
[LG Optimus G Pro] GreatCaesar:
I'm not seeing the folder lock feature on the latest nightly. Was it removed?
[LG Optimus G Pro] mpsantiago:
anybody got a link to the flashable zip of the 13 megapixel camera that someone mentioned earlier? Ever since the latest few nightlies my camera has been screwed up when recording video

[LG Optimus G Pro] jmartin72:
Not sure what a homer is, but I'm glad you are getting good battery life. I typically get 20+ hours from mine. I only run the "M" builds.
[LG Optimus G Pro] metal1f3:
Haha. Homer is more of a sports term. It just means biased due to partiality. Has any one found a good art compatible alternative to the QuickRemote app? I've tried a couple from the play store but they don't touch QuickRemote.

Unless you dirty flash thats a myth. Same with letting the kernel settle. If the battery life is bad its bad. And unfortunatly its bad on this phone with aosp currently. Shame as this phone could have great battery life if they would fix this bug most everyone is reporting.

2SHAYNEZ
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
is big rigth?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
Not a myth at all. But there are a few constants that I'd bet a lot of high drain sufferers have not taken onto consideration. Like the fact that madmacks modem is a prerequisite for deep sleep for all aosp based ROMs. And also the fact that you must go into apps, all, and clear data and force stop Google Services Framework then reboot. Then make sure wifi is turned off whenever you are not downloading a specific file or updating your apps. Try these things, check your deep sleep and only then, report back on battery life. I have posted these things over and over and over and over again in this, and a couple of other threads yet no one seems to take the time to read through the damned things to find out for themselves so here I am posting this yet again. Everyone seems to think they can flash any ROM they want and it should just work like a dream without first ever reading the corresponding thread for said ROM, to see what tips and tricks offer the best experience with said ROM.

[MENTION=5230447]NaveenKumarXDA[/MENTION] - You may want to edit OP to include the requirement of madmacks modem to obtain deep sleep with CM variant ROM's. I stated the other day that users should first try with their original modem, but apparently the original still prevents deep sleep with these ROM's and madmacks is still required to obtain acceptable battery life.
[LG Optimus G Pro] NaveenKumarXDA:
^^ I have added info on OP. Battery is never been a problem on CM11 after m6 for me.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Most of these things I have done. But the google services framework step often leaves my device disconnected from apps I need like gmail etc. Is there something that can be done to thwart sync issues?
[LG Optimus G Pro] fix-this!:
+1 ..i cant access the playstore after i clear google services framework. and madmacks radio is pretty outdated. it also didn't provide any deep sleep for me on cm or beanstalk.

---------- Post added at 06:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------

i agree the setups are different. but the flashing shouldn't be if we all do a full wipe first.
[LG Optimus G Pro] bobdelt:
Does this ROM still have an issue with low sound volume? Both the earpiece and headphone volume was very low last time I tried cm11..... Is there a fix?
[LG Optimus G Pro] machinistsWIP:
what gapps are you guys using? I clear Google framework every time I flash something new (pretty frequently) and never have a problem. I always reboot and wipe cache and dalvik after I do it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
There should be no issues after rebooting as the services start back up, only difference being that the once runaway battery use is now under control.

Clearing GSF has nothing to do with synching any apps, it kills your location services, which start back up after reboot.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Are the gfs being cleared only after a fresh install, before logging into accounts?

I have gotten sync errors/failures after clearing them.
[LG Optimus G Pro] shayneflashindaily:
Huh ?

2SHAYNEZ
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
I have never cleared them before logging into my accounts and doing an initial sync, only after syncing everything and phone settles in good after flashing a new ROM. I always use the same procedure when changing from one ROM to another, and the procedure always works. Madmacks modem has been installed on my device since I flashed my first CM10.2 ROM on it in September of last year and I am pretty sure that is the reason that I have such awesome battery life with this device and CM variant ROM's. It does not matter if the modem is a bit "dated" as another has mentioned, if it works, it works and anyone that says it doesn't, has not given it a real chance. And by giving it a chance, I mean flash it and leave it, don't just run it for a little bit and flash to another if better battery life does not immediately appear. If better battery is not at first apparent, there is something else causing the drain, it is not the fault of madmacks modem. WiFi and/or GSF are most likely the culprit(s).
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Thinking about it in retrospect, the point about letting it settle before executing it might solve the issue I have experienced.

I tried it again today and it seems to have worked.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hydrocyanic:
i have an e988 hk model rnning on cm11 m7, but the battery drain is crazy (4hours light use, i have to literally plug in to use)

Battery drainage has been the topic of the past few posts in which some solutions have been enumerated, such as:

- flashing madmacks modem.

- clearing the google services framework.

- monitoring WiFi and gps.

Another tip to add to the battery saver section in OP [MENTION=5230447]NaveenKumarXDA[/MENTION]

BTW - SnapDagon Battery Saver shows ans "Not Compatible With Your Device" when I checked it last.

One more thing that I want to add, along with the other tricks I have mentioned for excellent battery life on CM11 variant ROM's ( Flash madmack's modem if on E980 and AT&T, toggle wifi off when not needed for a big download, clear data for Google Services Framework ), and that is the need for a cold boot after taking the device off the charger.

I have been monitoring this the past couple of days, and it seems that deep sleep is only achieved about 40% - 60% overall when no cold boot is performed, as opposed to 75% - 85% deep sleep when the cold boot is performed. Add this into your bag of tricks for better battery life with this, and any other CM11 flavored ROM.

Cold Boot = Shutting the device all the way down with the "Power Off" selection on the power menu and let it sit for a couple of minutes before powering back up.

A reboot, or quick reboot does not achieve the desired results.
[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
I saw the recommendation of Qualcomm's Battery Guru in the OP. I thought I noticed a difference with it on stock jelly bean. Was kind of hoping to continue using it, but compatibility play store issue...

Has anyone seen very recent, recommendable apk for it?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
Here's a link to one I found and posted on my DropBox account ->

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zois31d8vycxpve/com.xiam.snapdragon.app_2.3.4_HiAppHere_com.apk

I just installed it to see if there are any benefits to be gained. But it seems to have one drawback and that is it's tendency to automatically turn on WiFi whenever you are in range of a hotspot. I have already determined the fact that WiFi causes a huge drain on battery life, even when connected to a hotspot. So that means that this app may actually cause more battery drain than it saves.
[LG Optimus G Pro] NaveenKumarXDA:
Added link to your post in OP as may be helpful to many. Thanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] machinistsWIP:
Wanted to share this for those having a tough time with battery drain. Two days ago, I flashed that day's nightly. Set up my Google account, waited 10 minutes, shut off NFC, set governor to interactive and scheduler to noop, downloaded a couple apps, cleared data for Google services framework then wiped cache & dalvik... but for the most part I let the phone sit. Yesterday, I flashed madmack's modem and again wiped cache and dalvik. Then I flashed yesterday's nightly. This is my battery today:

I have charged 3 times since I flashed. Other than underclocking to 1242, I haven't taken any extraordinary steps. WiFi is always on, location is set to high accuracy, sync is on, Google Now is running, etc.

I know sometimes I forget to execute a couple of the previous steps after I flash, so I hope posting them might help someone.

Edit: forgot to mention I am using Banks standard Gapps.

I achieve best battery life with governor set to ondemand and use CFQ scheduler. CPU set to stock clock speeds.

Find the hacked version of TWRP that madmack has posted in his thread for the unofficial version of CM10.2 - 11. Put it on your sd card. Use Freegee to flash recovery and unlock your device, I suggest installing the version of TWRP that comes with it rather than CWM. Once you have flashed TWRP, boot into recovery and flash the hacked version of TWRP mentioned earlier. Once you do this, you should be able to flash CM11 ROM's with no problems. I have done this on two e980's and have had no problems.
