Using the CM sms app you have the quick reply feature. Google sms app doesn't have it.

For the keyboard you will need to download a separate keyboard app. Google keyboard does not have the ability to put numbers on the first line.

The only way to get more battery life is to:

- Underclock and undervolt CPU

- Undervolt and underclock GPU

- Reduce screen brightness to a minimum

- Switch to 2G networks

- Close any apps running uselessly in the background

- Turn off vibrations and touch key backlight

- Maybe put it in airplane mode. The radio uses the most battery next to the screen.

- Use Greenify

Hardware swap uses a swap file on the internal storage that acts as RAM. Pretty much like the Page File on PC. Only that android can work safely without it.

ZRAM is pretty much the same. Only this time the swap file is located inside the actual RAM.

In theory it is faster than normal swap. But the CPU has to work harder to compress (and decompress) the data when needed.

You won't see any noticeable performance degradation when using ZRAM. But when I disabled it, it did seem a bit more fluid.

And unless you are an avid multitasker and have apps that require lots of RAM, you usually won't be needing any of the above settings.

I generally have 1.2-1.4 GB ram free. But I don't have many apps running amok in the background :)

no this is not on the internal sd, but on the system partition

and if your internal sd is THAT full that you cant even copy a few ringtones in there, then you have problems fella!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Blackbird256:
No I just use Ringtones for my music collection as well since that was possible even on old as hell Symbian phone I had years ago and gave me a huge collection of ringtones to choose from as well. Separating it is waste of space and too much trouble.

Thanks anyway ;)

EDIT: Holy **** I got it. I created media/audio/notifications (all lower-case) on extSdCard and it works!

I have done all of those things you mentioned. Any other specific thing i can change? Like in the kernel? I'm using googy by the way. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rhoban:
Underclocking and undervolting is done in the kernel.

There's not much you can do on the Googy-Max kernel in terms of tweaking.

Alucard has more, but I have experienced abnormal battery drain with that kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] limpbisquit:
Okay thanks for the tips. I'm undervolted right now and and clock maxed at 1.5ghz. I used to use echoe rom and i didnt do any undervolting and underclocking but seems like my phone is running a lot hotter right now with gpe and is draining battery real fast. I've already made sure the locations and sync and other things are off. :(

As you suggested, I just did a clean reflash of the stock NG2 ROM and got LTE back. I then re-rooted the phone, installed CWM recovery, then installed the 03-15-2015 JFTLE-GPE ROM. LTE is gone again. Only 3G is showing and all APN's were lost. Any suggestions?

The S4 GPE has been launched on 26.06.13.

Lollipop 5.0 has been launched begin November 2014 and the GPE received it December 2014. 18 months after launch.

The support ends at least after 18 months obviously. I doubt that we get 5.1 from Samsung/Google (since the Google Play Edition has been canceled beginning this year).

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dcillusions77:
Try TWRP 2.8.4.0 maybe instead. Shouldn't have to re-root phone unless your talking about the clean flash part and them rebooting recovery and it asks ya, other than that there shouldn't be a need after a clean wipe. Lemme know how it goes. I wiped the top 5 choices in advanced wipe inside of twrp. Rebooted recovery and then installed ROM. For some reason imo I think it helps if the rom zip is on the ext SD card.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jtash01:
I have started from scratch and re-rooted, installed TWRP instead. The zip is on the extSDCard. Does it matter which kernel to select when installing the ROM?

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

I also used APN backup and restore to backup the APN's under the stock NG2 ROM. However, when I restore the APN's using the app, they don't show up in the APN list in the Cellular network settings: Access Point Names. Instead it shows: "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user".

Still only getting 3G.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

Another thing that I noticed is that in the Cellular network settings, subscription defaults to NV. If I try changing the setting to RUIM/SIM. It does not stick after reboot. Is this correct? If not, which setting should it be?

Hello, i've just installed this rom (clean install). Seems to be working ok, as in no random reboots on stock kernel for the moment, but it stutters some times. For example on "Ok Google" sometimes it's instant other times takes a few seconds to hear the sound and then few more seconds till the search appears while on very rare occasions sound stutters very bad, search window doesn't even appear but will show how it closes if i tap on the screen. When pulling the menu it's not always coming down fluidly. Could it be because of the kernel, since till now i always had random reboots with stock kernel on 4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4.4 ?

report

Okay here's my report for the day. Turned on my phone at 7am. Locations, sync and other stuff are all off including daydream and other things. This is after i did a full wipe. Meaning no other apps are installed. Wifi for about 15mins, lunch time wifi for around 30mins. Just sent a bunch of text messages, a few calls, and my battery died at 5pm. Can somebody please help me? I really like the rom but the battery life and the heat is killing me. Also my current build is the 03-03-2015 one. And my baseband is I9505XXUGNG4 and i am in the philippines if that makes a difference. I was squeezing out around a full day on echoe with around 5 hours of wifi and i cant get by with a day here with not much use... Really need help.

Quick update!

I flashed the OB8 modem on my phone.

The signal strength has gotten slightly better but I can't comment on battery life yet as I've flashed it 10 minutes ago.

Also, with the 20150315 update, it included Play Services 7.x which is draining battery even faster than the previous build.

Any solutions to getting better standby time with Mobile Data (3G) on?

Also, I use 0% brightness and my SOT is still quite low.

Battery drains super-fast in front of my eyes.

I have a modem question

Since the hardware on my phone is actually a SGH-M919, What modems can I use with this rom, being that I'm unlocked.

And where are they hidden at, because I can't find them

I have Odin back on my computer, so when the phone does get fixed or replaced I want the total best modem available to me currently it's NK2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrus764:
You still have to use modems made for your specific model, and you should always use the latest.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] limpbisquit:
too early to tell

Well, it's still too early to tell. But seems like the sd card is causing the heat problem. Severe battery drain. Now it's draining battery comparable to that of echoe rom when not on power saver mode. However, what could have cause this problem when i didn't have this problem with the previous rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
In which case there is probably a corruption on there causing media scanning problems.

Try backing it up, re-formatting it and restore your files back.

Compatible modems?

Hi all,

I've been very happy with this ROM for the last couple weeks. Now I'd like to make sure my modem is the latest and, if possible, switch to a French modem. I bought my S4 on Amz and it came with a HK one (baseband: I905ZHUFNL1).

I had links for modems on kitkat but not for this rom. Any hint? If found a page with all modems on this forums, but little explanation on what file to take...

Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers,

Damien
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reg66:
Go to sammobile for latest firmwares. When you find one for your carrier in France, come back here and look for the appropriate modem. (Or just download the firmware from sammobile and flash the whole lot)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ciegalo:
Thanks! I need to be patient then, 5.x has not yet been deployed in France so the firmwares are not there yet :)

Anyway, thanks for the tip.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] !crazy:
Are you aware that baseband/mobile data drain battery much more than Wireless connection? Especially If the reception is bad. In that case (depending on how bad reception is.) you can expect extremely bad battery life, that and the phone would usually get hot. It can get much worse than your case is.

You mention everything you do with wifi, when you turn it on and of, without any mention of your mobile connection.

Also, every time you do a clean install, you have to let your phone settle. There are background services, even if you have no other much apps installed, these are Google, google play services related, and I presume these services have to do some indexing, to populate their databases and such. Anyway it has been observed by lot of people one has to let the phone (its OS, some would say kernel, but no this is not kernel related.) settle. Than you can start observing how your battery behaves.

Recommendation for battery maintenance:

Good thing for battery (some new reports claim there is no memory effect with newer batteries, but there is a nice report, I can find it, if one wants to read it, which claims, and explains differently.) is to drain it completely, and than to leave it for longer period of time to drain even further. Let it recover a bit, try to start phone, let it turn of again, and now let it stay empty as long as you can.

This should help with some kind of trapped electrons which voltage is so low (If I understood it well) that they cannot be used under normal circumstances, what decreases the capacity of our batteries with the time. This happens when one doesn't drain all of the battery, and starts charging.before it happens. But the issue is not really bad (no need to become a slave of its own battery.), because applying the above mentioned method once in a while (once per month or according to own likings.) helps us to gain the lost capacity back.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] limpbisquit:
Like i said, i'm doing so much less than what i used to do before i flashed the rom and it drains so much more and even on standy the heat is unbrearable so that part might be due tk the sd card. Also, reception is the same as normal days, and i dont use mobile data. I did let my phone settle overnight. I'll see performance tomorrow with no sd card so i can give a vetter report with regards to battery life. Although i would do your suggestion on cycling the battery.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

I checked sammobile and for my country the latest is i9505xxugnh8 while i'm using xxugng4. Would that also make a difference in battery life? Those 2 are only 2 months apart in releasw date.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

It could be the kernel. I would have bad battery drain with any custom kernel. Also you should keep up to date on basebands so you can at least eliminate that as a cause of issues.

Side note: Googly is the first custom kernel I've used that my phone likes. Great to have adb again!

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ----------

I take it you tried stock kernel?

Try DU Battery Saver. I've used this app several times when I've had battery issues after I've used the same rom, kernel, apps, etc. with no issues before. Let your battery drain to under 25% then plug it in and then run app.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

I don't think its an issue just an annoyance.

Update in the OP for the main build and stock edition!

01/16/2014

-Updated SU

-Updated Busybox

-Updated ktoonsez kernel to 1/13/2014

1. ktoonservativeq: Added new tunable called super_conservative. When enabled (enter a 1) this will dramitacally reduce the bouncing effect from Min Mhz and the amount of hotplugging. Performance may take a hit for the really picky user but 95% of the people that have been testing say its not enough to bother them.

2. Linux 3.4.76

3. Tweaked disable hotplugging while music/video is playing option.

-Updated google keyboard

-Updated google search

-Updated google play services

-Updated Gravity Box (main build only)

-"ok google" should now work out of the box :)

-Reverted NA gps.conf to stock GPE

-Reverted bionic binary

-more adjustments to the build.prop

-Disabled ROM/kernel debug logging for more speed

-The ultimate clean up build, do not ask me for support unless you are using the kernel provided in this ROM

Hi Dan,

Really appreciate your work, but I really wonder what the actual change in this build is. Let me explain:

SU: updates itself via Play Store or via Chainfire's SU thread

Busybox: updates itself via SU and/or dedicated apps

Gravity Box: updates via Xposed installer

Kernel: for everyone to choose

Keyboard: updates via Play Store

Search: updates via Play Store

Play Services: updates via Play Store

The actual changes should be in the remaining items:

- OK Google, but I thought this was part of the Google Search apk

- gps conf (don't have any problems with it at all, it's getting a fix in at 5 seconds at most)

- bionic binary - don't have a clue what this is and does

- build.prop tweaks. I think it's actually kinda useful if you mention what has changed here and what it does ;)

- disable logging - don't know if devs are to fond of this change, since they really like users to report bugs with a logkat.

But, still love your work :)
