Hi all

Just a quick update on my current experience which may help.

I was using ROW/lulzactiveq up until recently.

I have found that since V8.0 CFQ/pegasusq works best for me.

No FCs, Reboots, etc. for some serious time.

UPDATE: CFQ/pegasusq runs hotter than ROW/lulzactiveq

I haven't clean flashed this ROM since the V7.9 20140828 release.

Every test build I have dirty flashed since, with very few problems.

UPDATE: I use the kernel that is in the ROM, I don't flash a new kernel.

For GAPPS I have been using @jajb GApps Minimal X Edition since Banks had to stop his minimal GAPPS.

It works flawlessly.

I always flash the ROM then GAPPS when I dirty flash.

I make very few changes to the config (see copied post below).

UPDATE: DU Test Builds are my Daily Driver. I don't have another device, tablet or phone, so the N7000 gets some hammer and works great for me on DU

Here's some other stuff which may help.

These are old posts of mine, but I have pasted them here to make life easier for Tapatalk users.

An older post about launchers etc.

Been having problems lately with freezes and slow downs.

I have also noticed that APEX Launcher has been getting slower and clunkier in recent updates.

So I decided to Clean Flash KitKat 4.4.4 Team D.I.R.T Dirty Unicorns v7.9 20140828-0822 Test Build last night, and also took the opportunity to move back to NOVA Launcher.

All is now super rapid.

The device is now stable and quick with the clean flash of the DU test build.

Thanks for the continued development [MENTION=4406720]chasmodo[/MENTION]

I installed both NOVA and APEX to see which was quicker.

NOVA is noticeably quicker, especially when returning from apps to the Home screen.

Back to the home screen in milliseconds with NOVA, sometimes seconds with APEX.

APEX seems to be taking an age to redraw the home screen lately, with widgets also taking an age to come back on-line.

At least I now know it's not DU misbehaving, but APEX.

So I clean flashed again and installed NOVA only.

Why don't I use the default launcher?

I haven't made the time to work out how to make it do what I want it to do, or determine if it will do what I want.

Both NOVA and APEX (they are practically the same launcher) do what I want in a way I find simple and easy and I have been flipping between them for 12 months or so now.

Clean Build formats

I tend to format /system when doing a clean build but not when doing a dirty build (upgrade).

I also tend to format /emmc when I'm doing a clean build too, but make sure you are on a kernel without the EMMC Brick Bug.

Raw Kernel 4 or 5 are fine.

Configuration can affect the stability of your build

Dirty Flashed KitKat 4.4.4 Team D.I.R.T Dirty Unicorns v7.9 20140921-0455 Test Build about 8 hours ago.

All is well.

Running smoothly.

No issues.

The Carrier Icon in the Status Bar is a nice feature.

Removed Comments about Governors and Schedulers as I have moved on since the comments I made.

You may want to play with different configs to see if that drives stability for you.

No FCs.

No Reboobs.

No Freezes.

I don't know if my settings are affecting my lack of FCs, reboots and freezes.

I've noted some of my more significant setting choices below, if it helps someone out there then great.

NOTE: My config doesn't change much.

I don't use bluetooth at all.

I don't dock my device.

I don't link it up in any way in the car.

I use AirDroid to transfer files, so the USB connector is generally used for charging only.

I occasionally enable GPS, but with SatNav built into my car I rarely need GPS (I don't geotag stuff).
