The only time I ever get more than 4 hours screen on time is when watching lots of video as the CPU generally sits at 378Mhz which is like having the screen on just showing the home screen, I tried it once and got 6hrs 40 mins screen on time.

But if I'm doing things like browsing XDA, Chrome, calls, texts and emails etc when the CPU is up and down and data is going in and out then the battery is normally gone after 2.5 to 3 hours screen on time.

It depends what you use your phone for so it is hard to compare times.

For the first time in 3 months, I let my phone drain to 1% battery. Then fully charged it. 2:30 hours later, I unplug it. Watched a movie for 30 minutes, then locked the screen. What do you know? The phone still said "Charging" and the LED was turning on when the screen was off. Had to plug it back and unplug it in order to fix it (or reboot, I guess).

Perhaps it's time we both clean our phones' microUSB ports. :silly:

It's up.... Downloading... Update Time as Come....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
If it happens again you can just turn the phone off and plugin to wall charger, as soon as you see the battery charging animation, you can turn it back on right away, all fixed.

I've noticed this happens a lot (almost always for me) when switching to or from any TW or Faux kernel to any KT, chronic or abyss kernel, and often it also makes softkeys to stop working as well (in rom but not in recovery), but either turning it off and plugging in wall charger, battery pull, or flashing another kernel then rebooting to recovery and flashing the 1 you just had then rebooting, will always resolve it.

I freaked out the first time it happened and discovered the quickest fix by accident.

Now, some actual slimkat related stuff :

I'm on slimkat build 2.0 and about to update.

Slimkat 2.1 beta is available for jlftexx in slimroms.net downloads section, but not via SlimOTA, is this normal? does SlimOTA only show stable builds as available updates or does it just sometimes take 12+ hours to show there after a beta is available on slimroms.net ?

I just noticed today by accident that tapping on the status bar 3-5 times really quick will lock the phone. Does anybody know if this a bug, or a normal undocumented 4.4 feature, or even a bug or undocumented feature of nova launcher?

I'm also wondering if theres a way to either get TRDS to NOT apply to stock sms app, or at least to get rid of or change the colour of the ugly white border around each message?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
Double tap on status bar to put phone to sleep is a rom feature ;) There's no option to activate/desactivate this on weekly 2.0,it's on by default,but maybe there's an option now on 2.1 (I don't know I'm still on 2.0 for now and didn't check latest changelog).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
Ok cool thanks for letting me know, but its actully triple or quadruple tap at the moment :cool:

I don't think i'd bother turning it off even if there was an option to, i might find it handy from time to time, and i cant imagine anybody haveing an issue with its existence, i don't know of any legitimate reason someone would be tapping several times on the status bar and thinking to themselves 'oh dam i wish it wouldnt do that', unless they have some xposed module or an app that uses status bar multitap as a gesture to perform a task of some sort :angel:

But then again, that perhaps could be a cool idea tha some people might like: an option to remap the triple/quadruple tap to unlock to something else of their choosing
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Well, sorry for not fulfilling your question to your expectations, but given the lack of explicitness...

Regardless, the Slim kernel is supposed to be a kernel that has a more stock approach, so it does not have as many features and customization options as what KT kernel offers. Basically, Slim kernel = what you strictly need; KT kernel = much more than that. I thought that's common knowledge by now, so I didn't think it requires explanations earlier.

I think the Slim team has not yet managed to make their kernel fully working / stable, which is why they still include the KT kernel by default. When SlimKat comes with Slim kernel by default, you'll know it's worth keeping and you can expect excellent performance - battery life ratio ! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rosa Elefant:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:

Im currently running the slimkat 2.0 weekly build, forgive me if its already been posted somewhere but ive just found out that when i double tap the status bar like on the lg g2 it locks the screen. What i want to know is this feature of the rom or the kernal as i cant find any settings within the rom its self and secondly is there anyway I can double tap the screen to wake the screen?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
There is no setting for that, It just works.

Double tap screen on isn't implemented, there might be apps that can do that.I have never looked for it, so can't help you there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
Ok ive updated to 2.1. and pretty much everything's running great so far, leaving all the other aosp rom's for dust (as per usual)

Besides the known voip and other issues in all current aosp rom's, the only very very tiny issues can find so far with slinkat 2.1 are:

During a phone call, when the other person hangs up, the 'cell ended' tone skips/glitches 3 quarters of the way through.

I launched the camera probably 20 times or so, at random intervals across several reboots. Just 1 time it FC'd instantly on opening but has been perfect since.

I am wondering about the menu's in camera app, when you bring up the settings, the first menu stays there but the other consecutive menu's you have to press and hold to change things or the whole menu disappears. I hope this gets changed eventually like previous slim roms so that all menu's in camera stay until manually dismissed.

I'm must say that camera quality has been vastly improved and the wavelet denoise option is awesome, no more WTF-grainy pictures :)

I've said this one before, but i'll explain once more so you's know what i'm referring to:

With the phone app, always on it's very first launch after a reboot, pressing the keypad/dialer icon doesn't work, it just makes a big black empty space at the bottom, then you have to press that black space which returns you to the initial screen, then press the kepyad/dialer icon a second time for it to appear, then it works the first time every time from there onwards, until the next reboot.

I noticed last night that this dialpad issue has been resolved in cyanogenmod 11 since the last time i tested it a few weeks ago, but looking at the changelogs I can't tell which commit/s fixed it. I hope slim can also have it fixed soon too :)

I noticed in settings>More>mobile networks>preferred network type that selecting GSM/WCDMA auto, and going back into it GSM/WCDMA preferred is selected instead, however this suits me fine as I only want it to drop back to 2g when it absolutely must. I think i remember this menu's settings had been duscussed as being out of whack previously but I cant remember if it was here or another forum.

Judging by the way things are going do far, slimkat will be fully stable in no time, and the once mighty cyanogenmod will never be anywhere near stable for this device before it's abandoned and cm11 will be left far from completion, and onto repeating the same cycle for the next android version, as was the case with cm10.2.

I cant wait to see what other nice surprises are in slimkat 2.2 and onwards :)

Once again, great work slim devs:good::good::victory:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] zmanx19:
Oh ok thanks will see if there are any apps available that can do this.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Also have a look at Gravity Screen, I think it's a much nicer solution.

It will keep your screen on while using it and turns it off when the phone is lying flat on the table or in your pocket.

Depending on the settings it can turn the screen on by movement or by waving the proximity sensor (that's what I use)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
Double tap to lock screen? you'll find that in slimkat its actually triple or quadruple tap and not reliable reproducible, its randomly either 3 or 4 taps each time;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
I think your trying to hard ;)

You just need to shortly press the menu buttons and the menu stick's until you use the back key. At least that's how it works for me on all menu levels in the camera.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
never had it working that way on any slimkat builds, only the first 1 ever sticks:confused:

any menu from pressing the ^ arrow thingy onwards is press and hold only
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing. You cant get this menu to stick for example?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
ah yeh not those settings 1, my mistake sorry, i meant the other ones.

just got my 2nd camera FC on launch too :(

while im here, i noticed 2 little things, some text gets cut off and some 'nearly' gets cut off in sms app, and the bottom part of frequent contacts gets cut off when dialpad is open..i can see theres plenty of extra space to to trim between the keypad/dialer the number input field that could make this look better, just a suggestion :)

I know i'm nitpicking, but really, if thats all i can fault then thats a very good sign :angel:

pics attached
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
I tried every menu I could find in the camera app and they do all open and stick after ticking them briefly :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
even the ones in the screenshot? for me the first 1 sticks but every menu after pressing the middle up arrow thingy is 'press and hold' only still, same as all prior slimkat builds :confused:

Who else has this behaviour, anyone?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tylok:
Sync

So is the google-sync working properly again with this build?:confused::confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Is this one of the menu's not sticking for you?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
yep, all menu's beyond the initial 1 dont stick
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
All I did was tap the up arrow in the first menu shortly (do not hold it, not even for a second)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
yeh im sure thats the way is was on slimbean, just for me on every build of slimkat so far since the unofficials, every menu beyond the initial appears and disappears instantly unless held. I triple formatted everything before 2.1 install. I just assumed it hadn't been implemented yet..

Hey, could you please tell more about camera? I'm on 4.4.2 GE ROM right now, and it's almost impossible to take normal pictures. Just a little move of my hand while shooting - and voilà! Blurry photo..... And if someone in front of me moves I get the same effect - he will be blurry... Argh.....

Is it better here?

I'm sure camera was fine on AOSP and GE 4.3 ROMs... Wonder what happened... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
I haven't tested camera thoroughly in GE rom's to compare much, but the blur seems to be less pronounced here than some previous slim builds and cyanogenmod rom's - i had to shake the phone like crazy to get it to blur on purpose at close range but things far away blur VERY easily (but thats simple physics, not a curable software problem)

close-range blur is definitely harder to cause on this rom than some prior versions, TW rom's camera app blurs more than any others ive tried but has better quality and colour reproduction in general

maybe theres been some tweaks to the auto-iso values on this rom or something recently? i really dont know

You could try changing the ISO to help deal with blur but theres updides and downsided to that - http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/tip/136/iso-explained/

I have a feeling that Wavelet denoise also improves blur, nothing to back up that idea right now though.

I've had 3 camera FC's whilst testing blur typing all this tho :(

I take back every bad thing i ever said about kt kernel too now :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Ozonep:
Installed Slim :) Trying options...

So, you suggest to turn on Wavelet denoise for better quality? And what do options "Smart capture" and "AE-Bracket"? Should I turn them on too?

P.S. Is there a way to revert to stock DPI/layout? Too small for me :(

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ph3n0mII:
Good on you, welcome to slimkat, we hope you enjoy your stay:D

I put the picture quality to 100% (naturally)

Wavelet denoise - this will describe it as accurately as possible hopefully, the illustration is a good example - http://bit.ly/1hqT5ua

I tested it and android's implementation of wavelet denoise of it works pretty good I must say, (i doubt it used the same algorithm as gimp though)

Try it and see the difference, especially in low light where grainy-ness is worse

Smart capture - http://bit.ly/JYJMCW

AE-Bracket option - http://bit.ly/1cHNojv

Let ua know if you get any camera FC's, especially if phone has been in standby for a while and you unlock it and quickly open camera right away.

regarding to camera ...

I had to find another camera app when CM discontinued (we know they did not start really) the focal and then the modded CM camera has been gone in cm10.2. Then I discovered A better camera (ABC) (it is from developer almalence which I know from HDRCamera+ app which is implemented into the ABC.

Today I compared pictures from Slim stock camera and ABC camera ad I must say that I wa shocked how different the pictures are. The Slim camera pictures are blurred and not even sharp (I was testing in the darker room) when compared to ABC.

So finally I found the ABC app worth the money.

.... just have to say something to get a post count :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] eejee:
A week ago I compared a lot of camera apps, including zero vignette, Camera zoom, ABC, etc., but the only one that gave reasonably sharp pictures was Focal. It is a pity that there is no adequate replacement for the Samsung app. One advantage of ABC: it has the eraser function.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
A lot of work has been done on the stock camera during the last week, and looking at the source the Slim team is still working on it.

I think the camera in 2.1 beta is much improved.

ABC is bringing my phone to an absolute standstill when opening it in a low light situation :(
