[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
Update ROM to the latest build or wait until Arne brings 4.4.3 these days. ??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dr. Hurt:
I hope the new ROM comes with the new kk_2.7 kernel with CMA and with the newer adreno libs :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Harakhti:
Let us hope, seeing the amount of custom kernel methods floating around, I wouldn't be surprised if someone combined it and achieved something like Christopher83's K^Kernel. We are just shorter on developers, but hope is always there :P
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ilusi0n_:
Making a custom kernel is not that hard. You don't need to be a developer to make one. The main problem is that takes time and it needs a lot of patience.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Harakhti:
That I can imagine, although I wouldn't speak ups or downs or that, most of my experience was with Lua and debugging takes the most time.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tycoo:
I am so willing to do that, most things are prepared and merged already, but i can procced only in a week or two after i arrive back at home from vacation. Bad timing :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] :
yes, i meant is pure cm11. i tried DCM and i got great performace but so heavy to play a game when i got about 10% free internal memori. i tried to install greenify donate, xposed, seeder but still hard to play game
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
New build released. Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Ganxz:
thanks sir arco , downloading now :highfive::highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tycoo:
Thx a lot arco.

For the first time for me i like to do just an upgrade. I am actually on CM 28052014. So theres no wipe needed or something else, like stated in op i just have to flash the zip?

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
Thank you, Sir

Sent from my GT-I8150
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
Wow... 375 mb of RAM is much better.

Thanks Arne.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Ganxz:
i thinks you can just flash it without wipe anything like discription sir arco on 1st post but i not yet try it because still downloaading with bad conection here
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] saintsoh:
can i suggest instead of making more memory, why not relieve useless resources like disable read_ahead_kb?

i've been running stock rom with read_ahead_kb set to zero.

its running superbly well with memory to share. :good:

dont worry about faster read/write on internal memory or sdcard.

it doesnt affect overall performance, instead it runs better with more memory available.

why not give it a try?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
Thank you sir arco. Wow this is a major upgrade. You are awesome sir :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zxcasd:
Thanks sir arco :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Redwraith96:
Thank you very much Mr Arne!;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
If I'm not wrong, the default read ahead value is 128kB, so it it's not like there's a huge memory saving by disabling it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] saintsoh:
on stock rom, i got 30~40mb free. surprising isnt it. :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
Huge thanx for your effort master [MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]

Able to help you is my honor sir :good:

Thanx again

With my best regards

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

free ram depends on lots of things so it cant be depended to only read_ahead size

and also if ım not wrong users can change this value by using 3rd party apps

so there is no need to disable it default ı think

regards
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] saintsoh:
i'm running stock gb rom without any third party enhancement apps/tweaks, minus samsung widgets.

what surprising is getting so much out by just disable read ahead.

why not try it, not going to do any harm n see what u get.

edit:

3rd party apps only change value for read_ahead_kb normally for int/ext_sd but not for all read_ahead_kb parameters.

my suggestion is disable all read_ahead_kb parameters in /sys/class/bdi, i.e. for loop, ram, zram, sdcard, emmc, etc. disable all.

I'd been doing "upgrade" installation when CM11 came out and so far, it's working pretty well on me. I just do wipe cache and dalvik-cache after 1st reboot. BUT, for the latest build, I think I need a pristine installation since it was a total make over :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ghyeng:
Should we now use the latest 20140606 GApps (listed on CyanogenMod wiki) instead of the 20140105 GApps?

If so, is there any difference between these two? Goo.im and AFH

They have different md5 checksums.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] s3alon:
is just me or sometimes the browser forced close ?

do a normal way of upgrading with wipe cache and dalvik cache already

is it need a pristine way ?

Thanks.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
You can use any 4.4.3 gapps. It might be different because it was uploaded on different file host. I'm using GApps Minimal 4.4.3 from HERE since I don't use all apps on standard gapps.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

You can wait for other users to confirm it but I suggest pristine/ clean installation for the latest build. A lot of changes/ fixed had been made to it (a total make over :D )
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] s3alon:
Okay then., guess will wait for more review :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eri000:
for the latest build.. is TRIM already configured and running or do we need to flash a TRIM supported kernel ? :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
Read the changelog carefully bro ;)

TRİM support added to kernel

Once you boot with a trim-enabled kernel, trim function will run automatically in the background and cannot be disabled by the user

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Harakhti:
Just looked at my pre-June Gapps zip and the latest one...ouch, gotta redo the whole thing. You did get it right that there are a lot of changes :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gregoriaz:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:

All my installed apps are working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Harakhti:

With Gapps-related errors, it seems to help a lot if you redownload the apps from Google Play.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zxcasd:
Battery performance is very improved on 16062014 build. Thanks arco again. :good:

But I think chromium engine reduces browsing performance on our phone.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] LeroViten:
No single app out of 30 that I use FC.

It's all about pristine install and proper Gapps for 4.4.3.

I can surely admit that this is the most stable and fast cm11 build so far. ??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gregoriaz:
i try pristine install again :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gregoriaz:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dr. Hurt:
According to my (rather quick) testing, low power audio seems to be working correctly now :)

Perhaps it could be enabled by default in the next build?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
I've completely forgot why I disabled it. What was the issue if anyone remembers?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] FelixMG:
When enabled, you can't turn on or down the volume, and if you turn down the volume to 0, you can't turn on without a reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] FelixMG:
I'm sure that the problem is with your connection. Brazilian carriers sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] spectrox:
This time there is nothing to do with carrier.... look at my G2 result in the same Wifi network

Enviado de meu LG-D805 usando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] FelixMG:
Different time, different result. Also, the problem could be with your router, or you're under traffic shaping, that's normal nowadays in Brazil. Did you try to change router's channel?

I don't think that the problem is with the phone, because I have the same variant as you (GT-I8150B) and I'm not facing this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] spectrox:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darthbii:
Hello guys, I really think I messed up here. I wanted to switch back to a previous version of CM11 so I flashed it over the second latest version and everything went forced closed. Then I flashed back the second latest version. Well, its working fine, but some options are missing, I'll list here:

- the home button can't be used to press home (i can confirm its working because i can switch to recent apps with it)

- i can't click settings on the quicksettings bar and quick pulldown is not working

- the power menu only has power off, reboot and screenshot only

- the lock screen only appears once after reboot, when I unlock and lock my phone with the power button, the lockscreen wouldn't show up

anymore and it just takes me to an unlocked screen state

- notifications won't show up in the notification bar

here are some of the errors I discovered, but there might be more..

anyone got this experience before? the ROM is semi-working (I can boot run apps etc) but there are plenty of errors. how can I fix?

sorry if i had to ask a newbish question and not making a backup before. but I really need help:(:crying:.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dr. Hurt:
In CWM, perform a factory reset and format the system partition then reinstall the latest ROM again.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Vaulenst:
Hi all,

I did a pristine install of the new rom 4.4.3 (and 4.4.3 gapps) and everything works good. No FC at all after 2 days of testing.

What I feel strange is Antutu benchmark: I am use to see scores around 6800 from the first release of the beginning of the year.

I tried all the releases and the antutu score have ever been around 6800... maybe 6600, maybe 7000.

Now I tried antutu many times: just after a reboot, before installing any app, after having installed greenefy, etc... and the score vary from 5200 to 5500.

Can anyone try antutu and tell me how is his score?

TY
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Redwraith96:
Yeah this problem is also mentioned in the play store but I have scored 8530 points with antutu benchmark x,so use this.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Slayheim:
Where is the Performance in settings?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:

hello guys :)

SO does the ART works without gapps ? ? :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] artu72:
A question about ART. In Nexus 7 (vanilla Android 4.4.2 KitKat) in the Developer Options there is an item allowing the selection of Dalvik or ART runtime. In CM 11 that item is missing, so I guess that ART is enabled by default, or am I wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Redwraith96:
Thanks arco for the new build . :D

For me this cm11 it's very stable for daily use and I can play almost without lag (awesome) :)

How can I remove "heavy" GApps and replace them with the minimal ones, without wiping anything?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] freinet:
I am not sure, but I think that doesn't work. You have to flash mini gapps during installation. Otherwise you have to delete all Google Apps before flashing mini gapps, but this is not possible. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
You can't connect to WIFI? I have no problem with it and I think others too. I suggest you install the ROM again in pristine way/ full wipe and use this gapps 6-2_GApps_Minimal_4.4.3_signed (21.5MB), it's not gapss issue btw.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Lakum:
I'm seeing someone having the same problem. The wifi button doesnt have any effect turning it on. And also i'm seeing someone said that the free space on system partition becoming so small so the modules doesnt install correctly.

But for me, the modules are there and i'm using the gapps that you mention. Maybe as you said, i need pristine. Thanks..
