[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Jamesyboy:
It makes sense, I'm mostly just unfamiliar, as opposed to being completely useless, but you guys have been amazing...you've already shot me up to about 80% on a distribution curve.

Why would anyone stick with MF3? MK2 is an update for MF3, right? Why don't those users update, then safestrap 3.71 it, so they can use 4.3 roms? It'd seem kinda funky to me to be stuck with a 4-2 ROM by choice, unless they're doing it solely for the GPE ROM.

These firmware kernel modules...I'll have the same modules for each ROM I flash right? Or are these modules a .zip that I'll find in each ROM thread, for each carrier.

By the way, APN settings don't scare me. Here, you might actually appreciate this work--done right after ATT's LTE network came online (I believe the Note was the first device that utilized it?...If it wasn't, it was definitely the first to tax the network.)::

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26877683

Edit: the Q&A thread for Safe strap was reasonable...but it still talks about kernel flashes, and blown QFusee (har?)

I guess I mainly need to come to grips with the kernel situation. The Q&A says that you can't use custom kernels if you've updated to OTA, but doesn't mention factory MF3 builds, and it isn't really very clear about the module/kernel module situation.

You said I need to flags my **current** firmware kernel modules: are those different if I get a device with MF3 than those for MK2? Or are these just modules that I create myself (based upon whatever's in my stock ROM slot maybe?) in recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ted77usa:
I dont think u can get MDB/MDL firmware again these days.....but if u do....damn u are pretty lucky....my suggestion is Do Not insert your ATT sim card yet ....since they can do OTA update ( On The Air ).....and check your baseband....IF u do ....root it right away....install titanium back up and freeze/uninstall ATT software update.apk......install custom recovery CWM or TWRP ..... and make sure u have auto loki recovery....if not save loki.doki patch on your Sd Card....PM me for the link and all the files .....i still have the files since i used to have MDB firmware and got replacement phone from ATT when my son broke the screen....:crying:

MDB>MDL>MF3>MJ6>Mj9>MK2.......the reason of the update is ATT trying to lock bootloader so we won't be able to install custom rom or do what ever we want to the phone.......but either way.....XDA member always found away to cracked it....so some people have to upgrade not by choice.....most of them by accident....like me ( cracked my screen ) or they install wrong recovery.....(bricked) so be careful when installing custom recovery.....like i said....we need to know what kinda firmware that u have so we can help u.....LOL now i got it why u dont know yet....since u dont have the phone yet......:p.... but is ok.....that's the right thing to do.....get to know your stuff first before u brick your phone.....:good: so basically u need to match your kernel modules with your firmware otherwise it won't be able to connect to Wifi,bluetooth,gps,etc it doesn't matter if u OTA to MF3 or MK2.....or it come with MF3 or MK2....:)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
Seems about right to me. If you don't use the OEM Voice dial, you can remove the sddaemon shortcut from your startup folder. There's a known bug with it anyways when it creates duplicate notification on a soft reset.

You can also remove poutlook. I have taken that shortcut out of every PPC I have owned (going way back) with no ill effects.

I have about 16mb main memory left and it bounces all over the place one minute 16, 10 minutes later 8mb then 10 meinutes later 12mb (I have run MemMaid to see running processes and there is nothing there...maybe bad install?)

Storage is at 12mb.

I don't think this is right. But this is my first PPC so I'm not sure if someone could help me out here I would appreciate it.

I am tempted to hard reset and not use customized Ext Rom, but there are some things I do want, but after looking at the EXT Rom file, I haven't a clue what is what and if I really need it.

I have total commander installed on my miniSD. My program memory remaining after a reset is about 17MB. After running a few hours, and closing all apps, it drops to about 10.5 MB and stays around there. Any ideas as to what may be happening? I have a few tweaks in place, but nothing overboard. After removing all cache tweaks the most I have had remaining is 19 MB. I have no idea where all this memory is going. Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mobilehavoc:
Ok I'll ask the obvious question...

Why do you all care so much about having xxx memory remaining?? How does it help you to have 12MB of RAM sitting there not being used...does it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside??

This stuff always cracks me up - as long as you are not running out of memory what do you care how much memory you are using. Sitting on top of 19MB of free RAM is not doing anybody any good.

I've used my Cingular 8125 and at times the available memory went down to around 4MB!!! That's right...scary stuff but guess what, nothing crashed, everything worked smoothly and later on it was back up to around 8-9mb.

Like I said, as long as you are not running out of memory what does it really matter?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dumbl3:
Hi guys,

First of all happy new year everyone!

I thought new year, new MOD.. But I encountered a problem. I had previous installed a JB based mod with the DOOM kernel (I have unlocked bootloader). I wanted to do completely clean install, so I went in recovery formatted everything, system, sdcard, dalvik, cache, data. I then hold the volume up and off button untill 3 vibrations (hard reset). I let it off for 10 seconds or so, and tried to flashmode connect (volume down, pluggin usb) to flash the original JB ftf file. I had already installed the flashmode/fastboot drivers a few months ago.

So anyway, I get the USB device not recognized message in the sys tray. Also when I try to connect in Fastboot mode I get that message. When I open device manager it says 'device failed enumeration'.

One of the causes may be updating to windows 8.1? I installed the flashmode/fastboot drivers when I was still running windows 8.0 x64... But if so, what can I do? Or do you guys thing something else is wrong? Please help, because I can only boot into recovery right now, which is not really useful because the 'mount usb storage' function is not working so I cannot flash anything...

Let me introduce myself first. I have been developing software for Windows for almost 20 years. I love to tweak and tinker. That is what drew me to the Android platform. With that said, here are my findings:

I own a T989. I love the phone. I have tried numerous tweaks and scripts etc out there. In the end I found some very minor tweaks that I have done manually that make a noticeable difference in performance and a battery life.

The biggest increase in performance and battery life that I had noticed was going from a stock rom to CM 10. I am currently on CM 10.2 (and eagerly awaiting a stable version of CM 11).

With that said I noticed that if I changed just a few minor things CM 10.2 runs considerably faster.

Here is what I have done:

1. Disabled ZRAM completely. I have noticed that my phone boots faster with it disabled. I noticed that multitasking was not as good with it disabled but the phone seemed much snappier.

2. Changed Min Free values. I used the Performance Control app for this. My settings are currently as follows:

Foreground Applications: 16 mb

Visible Applications 18 mb

Secondary Server: 23 mb

Hidden Applications 42 mb

Content Providers 49 mb

Empty Applications 56 mb

This seemed to help a lot with multitasking and now it multitasks fast and the phone is much snappier and less laggy. So far my phone is very stable and fast.

3. Set SD Card Read Ahead to 2048.

4. I also left KSM disabled and left Allow purging of assets disabled.

That's it. My phone is rock solid stable and fast with these settings. I also noticed that my battery lasts about 15% longer. Even better than just switching to CyanogenMod 10.2 alone.

Let me know if it works for you.

No, I haven't seen your battery stats. However, I get more than ample battery life. I don't undervolt or underclock. With moderate usage all day long I usually have about 25% battery left. I turn my phone on at 5:30 a.m. when I wake up and turn it off at 10:00 p.m and put it on the charger. So that is 16 1/2 hours with 25% to spare. I'm happy with that.

Have tried setting min/max on the CPU frequency? I have mine set pretty low min of 192 and max at either 1512 or 1350 depending. The Samsung governor with sio I/o is supposed to be pretty good for the battery, better than the default on demand. Wakelocks are another problem battery-wise, greenify app seems to work pretty well. To be honest, I get very few. The phone hibernates quite well, so don't know if it is placebo or not.

Anyway, read up on governors and I/o and play around a bit. I'm getting decent battery life as long as it's not searching for a tower. Right now says 23h 32m on battery screen 28%, voice calls 18%, system 12%, os 11%...no surfing. When I surf moderately, probably get to 25 to 34% at end of day.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

forgot to mention battery is 42% @ 24hrs as of current reading. Moderate surfing probably a couple hours or so brings it down to the 25-35% range @ 12 hrs, everything else being relatively equal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] waresoft:
I generally avoid underclocking. I use the cm defaults for the governor and I/O scheduler. I figure the devs set them as the defaults for a reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] acefsw:
The reason Ondemand is used is that everyone uses it. It's really not as good on battery life as others. Here is a link that explains governors http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1950084. I can't find the references I had read for the Samsung governor, but iirc it is multi core aware and makes better use of them. Obviously, kernels vary and can effect performance/ battery also.Not all Devs provide the same governor options or i/o options.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] waresoft:
I use CM 10.2 as my ROM. The default Governor is Interactive and the default I/O scheduler is deadline. From what I have researched online the interactive governor is the recommended governor for JellyBean. If, the governor would have been OnDemand, I would have changed it to Interactive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
A lot of performance and battery saving talk mixed in here.

I know performance can mean smooth....Not just fast. But as far as fast goes....generally speaking...the faster you go, the more fuel you burn. Lol

So anyone looking for a blazing fast phone shouldn't be talking battery savings at the same time. Cause you're gonna give up some of one for the other.

Generally speaking....of course. ;)

Totally agree. It is a balance based on taste/need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] waresoft:
Generally speaking, yes. However this is the way I view performance:

To me a well performing configuration is something that gives me great battery life and the responsiveness that I need. To me the best way to do that is to:

Use as much RAM as possible without degrading performance

Reduce background processes that use up CPU cycles that reduce performance and reduce battery life

To me these items will make your phone, computer, tablet, etc. better responding and help make battery life better all while increasing your performance.

In my opinion keeping an item in a cache in RAM and reloading it again from a cache is going to be so much quicker and use less battery power.
