Stop polluting the thread with your false claims, If you want to use TW then good for you, but to intentionally put somebody off using CM because you have a bad experience is just wrong..

I know 3 other people (real life friends) they all have good battery with CM and so do I and so it seems does most of this thread.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
You've been talking cr@p about cm battery life for a few pages. And reading all the comments and with my personal experience I think damn this guy must be right and everybody else must be wrong. Lol

Let's see if you have the facts to back it up and post a touchwiz ROM screenshot with 6h screen on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] David_cole:
It is not true mate.. It can only improve or atleast leave battery the same depending in usage,.. WHat it does is use the gpu for scrolling thru menu etc/ other light 2d tasks which will put less strain on the CPU meaning theoretically it should improve battery life compared to scrolling with it off. Just for the sake of being certain I tested turning it off when I saw the comment earlier and until now saw no increase in battery what so ever..... Never mind the insane claim of 20%
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ZordanKV:
Used TW ROM for 2-3 months, switched to CM and using it over a month. With the same average usage, I get ~25% more screen on time with CM (with stock kernel) than with TW.

Your comparison is so bad as screen on time clearly isn't same on both pictures you posted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
And the boot time comparison is also inaccurate. My cm11 is crammed with apps and games and boots in 20 seconds or so.

People seem to be forgetting POWER-SAVE mode and CPU speed!! on TW STOCK, everyone's claims will forever be inaccurate if not monitored and recorded correctly, people use different apps, kernels, screen time brightness the variables are too big for battery life comparison!, we can only vaguely guess the amount and ever since i rooted my phone and moved straight to CM11 nightlys, with the same apps and more CPU usage i have been getting 25% LESS battery life then i did on stock, stock TW would last 2 days every-time remember people this is still nightlys, ecpect battery drain and bugs!, but like i said if anyone can fix notification panel lag and flickering let me know. my battery and everything else is alll good
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonbigwave:
Just share, OK I did a wipe data, factory reset, wipe cache wipe Dalvik. and reinstalled all "same" 100+ apps again via Titanium. Now, I am not interested in the "subliminal marketing" we been seeing here of TW or Echoe or GE Roms...

But, comparing with my previous CM nightlies May and early June where I had no battery drain, I had alot battery drain on 628 or 629 nightly onwards. So after factory reset and wipe..seems was still there... However, I reverted to the relatively new 6June2014Kk CM recommend GAPPs, used privacy > untick "keep awake" (as someone here suggested, thanks) and saw a big improvement in battery. I also removed all themes and custom icons and switched to "Min white" icons and NO wallpaper, and my battery is now excellent.... also "flickering" when open the app folder on home screen, is gone. (note - I did have great battery on all old previous CMs before, "with" all the themes and icons and PAGAPPs, but not a big problem). BTW the APN for Australia Vodafone are incorrect with the Rom. Had no Internet until I updated from the Vodafone website. just share.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] v00d007:
So, after all contrary statements about the battery matter we can say it's just pretty different for each user depending on system configuration, build no, usage habits, etc... There is no perfect solution and no "winning" rom in my opinion.

Peace to all xda lovers!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kipue:

I personnaly have a very stable apps usage (always have the same stuff), and a very similar usage pattern (the habits while commuting, etc.), and really any rom will give me more or less the same battery life, +/-3-5 % if I monitor closely.

So unless a rom version has a big obvious issue bug-related, I think they all give more or less the same.

Plus, I cannot talk for everyone, but a lot of us are always near a power source (I go around with a spare charger), and really if I want I can top up the battery anytime.

So I say, no need to fixate too much on that particular thing, and just enjoy the rom style/base you like!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] remorema:
Can you specify where is that setting? Is it built in or a 3rd party app?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonbigwave:
CM settings >Privacy >privacy guard> tick "enable by default", then click on app, scroll down menu until you see "keep awake" > change setting to "denied". after you exit menu make sure the "white shield" is indicated showing that app is "guarded". I did that for Google play, google + and all social apps and other user apps. also apps I also deny "wake" because apps like BBM and FB and so on, seem to wake alot unnecessarily... Also btw I decided disabled Google+ completely because I decided not use it. my battery much improved after all that for me.

Problems with theming on Nightly 20140704

Hi every1,

can any1 confirm atleast one of the following 2 problems?:

1. after each reboot i have to apply stock theme and re-apply custom theme to use custom theme?

2. Using Xposed + GPSNotification Module. if i switch to GPS+WiFi location, and try to use it, system.iu FC

any1 else has those problems? Any1 any idea how to solve them?

Thx for answer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mooyaart:
I'm on 704 and haven't encountered #1 so far. I'm on ART so I can't help you on #2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 135Shadowsoul:
Thanks,

additional: im on dalvik; had to restore backup to use device properly

€dit: while using art i cant use xposed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mooyaart:
No you can't use ART with Xposed. If you have Xposed installed it will automitcally disable the switch over.

I prefer the speed and battery usage on ART over the extra functionality the Xposed can bring on my set up.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] 135Shadowsoul:
well, like i have said, i am using GPS-Notification, because for me its important to know, if i have a fix or if device is still looking for

and i am using "smiley replacer", because i dont like the yellow simleys; i even "modifyed" sms/mms apk to usw this module and get back my android 4.3 and less android-head smileys

but this is not your problem :)

but sounds interesting that the theming problem could be an ART/dalvik problem...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] simonbigwave:
Im on 704 with ART also. seems ok so far. but was first time with the nightlies that I got the Titanium Backup "Warning: this Android device ID has changed">Choose" ignore" or "restore ID", after install and reboot. I chose jus restore ID this time. anyone else got this message jus now? curious to know if others, do u prefer restore or ignore ID with CM nightly?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hnernes:
I get this when I do full wipe flash, but not when dirty flashing. I prefer to restore, because of my bank app, so I don't need to set that up again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sushidog:
This warning means you got some paid apps that limit the number of devices it can be loaded on and relies on the ID to verify the device.

To give you an example, the Aquamail devices ID limit is 10 but I asked the Dev to change it because I update CM nightlies and he raised to 25.

The reason for this is to limit app piracy. Some banking apps also verify this ID, so if you restore you don't have to authorise again. If you update a lot my advice is to restore.

I have a newbie question. Do CM change the modem or baseband on the phone when you install it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] orlandoxpolice:
Which changes did you make?

I am getting the screen flicker on 0703 nightly. Happens when scrolling to the right on the last homescreen, when dragging icons into folders when the screen has a lot of icons on it, when hitting the google search bar, and when dragging the notification drawer down when the radar is moving in a weather app.

I went into developer mode and disabled HW overlay and forced 2d gpu rendering, and it seems to be less now, but it comes and goes. It was happening this morning after I made the changes, but a few minutes ago I tried my hardest to get the screen to flicker and it wouldnt. Entire screen doesnt flicker either, it seems to be either the upper corner area or the lower corner area, in small multi square patches.

edit: aaaannndddd its back (after reboot).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] John_wba:
No
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vedko:
I made changes to build.prop file. I can't remember now what exactly, but search back a few pages and you'll find it.

But since then I went back to default because I realised the screen started to flicker, which didn't happen before. So, the only flickering I'm experiencing now is when I pull down the notification bar while using Waze, and only when the map is active, e.g. it doesn't happen when I'm in settings. Recently I found out that it happens in Google maps as well, again even the map is moving, e.g. when navigating. So, I think it has something to do with the 3D rendering.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] v00d007:
No, if you want to update system parts you have to flash them seperately i.e. via Odin. Or if you're very conservative via Samsung's updates...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] John_wba:
You can not flash modems/bootloaders etc thru recovery on our i9505, we need Odin for that.

flickering was discussed quite alot just a few pages back. quick search "flickering" this thread u will see it similar. For me, I got rid of "alot" flickering I had after 1)wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik and 2) made sure to remove all custom themes/icons... now flickering gone (tried on both Dalvik and ART ok). also if it still persists try a different Launcher. apparently eg. Nova Launcher and others no flickering. might help.

Can anyone recommend the most bugless nightly please, and possibly share the file if it is not already available.

I am currently on 701 and while using WAZE yesterday, with the car charger, I found the screen to really heat up, even if the screen was dimmed. I am also using Art, and therefore uncertain if that has any implications.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HANDSY:
This happens to me to both on stock and CM when using Google Maps. I believe that the heat is just a result of the phone working hard and processing lots of data. WIFI, data, GPS and screen are all on. It always cools down when maps is finished with.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mv0hra:
You are right, it does cool down after but the heat it generates seems extreme, especially compared to custom and other roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] v00d007:
Since when? In the modem collection thread it is told that updating modems for 9505 isn't possible via flash zip, 9500 only. And because of that they aren't provided there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HANDSY:
Try another navigation app and compare. Perhaps Waze isn't working to efficiently?

---------- Post added at 06:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 AM ----------

Agreed, you can't even flash modems via mobile Odin as you have to manually reboot into download mode from a phone which is off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mv0hra:
I will try. I also found that with waze the voice commands would go up and down on its own accord, even though the volume was set to max.

Sounds app related to be fair rather than a rom issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] petrus764:
No, you have to flash modems in odin if you want to change. There's a modem thread in the s4 general section. NF1 is the latest for i9505, dont flash the lte-modem if you're on the old bootloader, gsm only.

Flashing the newest modem from other carriers and regions may cause problems/worse signal that wasn't present before, its always best to flash the latest modem for your carrier/region only.

The sammobile website has a firmware checker which tells you what the latest modem for your carrier is..

You are correct on the not flashing lte modern on a old bootloader tho, as you will lose all sound and WiFi.

Also when flashing a modem thru Odin you must boot in to download mode by using the hardware keys, booting to it from APM (advanced power menu) will result in the modem not flashing correctly in Odin.

Modem has nothing to do with WiFi. You could eventually try a different kernel. I am not sure how is the situation with i9505, but on some devices some kernels use different wireless drivers, which offer different things, like better WiFi reception, no tethering vs vice versa.

I was joking. If you really need xposed than you'll have to wait a bit I presume, and to take it easy. Reapplying the theme is not so hard.

For the case I wasn't clear enough, theming issue disappears with removal of xposed, so it is , at least partly, a xposed related issue.
