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.

PegasusQ is playing well on my device.

I think I prefer Zzmoove, but I am going to use PegasusQ a while longer.

NOTE: I use ROW with both PegasusQ and Zzmoove.

Here's a good guide to Governors.

Here's a good detailed post on PegasusQ.

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: This is not a comprehensive list of all of my settings.

General Settings

WiFi - On

Mobile Data - On

Bluetooth - Off

Bluetooth Tethering - Disabled

WiFi Hotspot - Disabled

Location - Battery Saving

Profiles - Off

Themes - Default

Dirty Tweaks

LCD Density - 240

Build.prop Mods - Enabled 3G Speed Hack and Optimize TCP Stack only

Init.d Tweaks - Enabled Zipalign apps and Clear Cache on Boot only

Misc Tweaks - Enabled Menu arrow keys and all Breathing only

Gesture Anywhere - Off

Active Display - Off

Driving Mode - Off

Wakelock Blocker - Off

Suspend Actions - Off

Identicons - On

Ad Blocker - On

HALO - Off

Heads Up - On

Omni Switch - On

Appbar - Off

App Circle Bar - Off

NavBar - Off

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).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] burduli:
Hello can you please tell me, is PegasusQ good for battery saving? And also, how can I change my ROMs governor to PegasusQ?

Peace :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] FabreFaction:
PegasusQ is generally considered to be a performance kernel.

Which implies that it's focus is not on battery life.

That's not to say it won't give you the battery life you need.

The best thing to do is give it a go.

If you want the details read the links in my previous post.

Download Rom Toolbox from the Play Store to easily change governors and schedulers.

KitKat 4.4.4 Team D.I.R.T Dirty Unicorns v7.9 20140921-0455 Test Build

I've had my first freeze/reboot/FC type problems for what seems like months.

Bit of background

I actually found a game that can hold my attention for more than 2 minutes.

Mines of Mars

Repetitive, good fun, simple controls, and increasingly challenging as you progress.

A great time-waster, not a brain teaser.

Unfortunately I had some problems with PegasusQ and Zzmoove.

May I introduce my new favorite governor.......... LulzactiveQ!!!!!

PegasusQ/ROW

The device got very warm, slowed down and rebooted itself.

Zzmoove/ROW

The device got pretty warm and froze.

Had to hold down the power button to reboot.

LulzactiveQ/ROW

Played without any problems for well over an hour.

The device got quite warm, but no reboots, no freezes, no FCs, just maximum time-wasting with a fun game!!!!

Hello,

I have just installed the test version 20140923 on my n7000 with no problem at all.

I have just noticed that the formatting of date in the taskbar is erroneous, in French.

We have jj instead of d, what gives as display jj instead of 23 for example

jj sept --> 23 sept

If I put in personalized format (Java) d MMM --> 23 sept

Thank You for this splendid rom.

Can I dirty flash V8.0..... Yes you can!!!!!

Wipe data for Calendar and Calendar Storage then uninstall from System (Use Rom Toolbox Pro or similar app).

Flash ROM

Flash GAPPS

Wipe cache and Dalvik

Reboot

Job Done

All working fine for me with dirty flash over test build.

Super smooth.

I'm going with the default CFQ and PegasusQ for the moment.

Setting the SD Boost Cache to 4Mb seems to give the best read/write times.

Hi

There are apps that allow you to change the boot animation such as ROM ToolBox.

This XDA Forum has a bucket-load of groovy boot animations.

I'm not sure how you change the Power Off animation.

For me, the Dirty Unicorns Boot and Power Off animations are exactly what I want to see on this ROM.

Very professional, cool and smooth animations.

Have fun................. FF

hi

installed v8 yesterday and everything works fine :)

I was trying to install trebuchet launcher but it wouldn't let me install. Then I tried moving the apk to systems folder but that gave the launcher fc. I have also tried the cm app from play store but that didn't work either.

Is trebuchet not compatible with DU? if so can you help me get it working.

thank you :)

Why do you want Trebuchet?

Try Nova Launcher.

Customisable, designed to have a low footprint and be fast.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tysonraylee:
direct access to themes via menu key, well at least that was the case with C-Rom trebuchet :) I run a thread for custom fonts and its very helpful for me to go into the themes just by a single press of a button Instead of settings/themes/fonts for every font that I install and I install at least 10-20 per week or sometime more :)

hope you understand.

I tried to make a shortcut too but it wouldn't let me make one for themes but only makes for themes/styles and doesn't even go to the menu if I press back :)

I keep long press back button for screenshot which is not available in DU which is not a big issue and I solved that by using xposed :)

REVENGE SOLVES EVERYTHING
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] FabreFaction:
That makes sense to me.

We all find a launcher which suits our needs.

Isn't the default launcher for DU Trebuchet?

DU is based on Omni though, not CM.

Not sure if you can install Trebuchet if it's not already there on an Omni Rom.

You'll need someone with more detailed knowledge than I.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] chasmodo:
Trebuchet is not compatible with DU.

Wakelock issue?

Much likely something is keeping your phone awake (services called "wakelocks") without releasing itself, so your phone is always in activity, thus becoming hot and draining battery.

Usually, when a ROM is flashed, the MediaScanner service searches for photos and media and in case you have A LOT of photos and media, it will require much activity time, so try to keep phone on and charging for 20-30 minutes then plug it off and see after some minutes if issue persists.

Issue persisting? OK...

First of all, you have to understand if your phone ever goes in Deep Sleep mode.

Download these two apps:

CPU Spy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&hl=it

BetterBatteryStats: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Run CPU Spy and see if phone has ever went in Deep Sleep. If you are undecided, go Settings --> Reset Timers, put phone in standby for 10 minutes and go check again.

If Deep Sleep is in the Unused tab, then we have to understand what is keeping phone alive: run BetterBatteryStats (at first run it will ask to be installed as system app and to reboot phone), then go to Other --> Partial Wakelocks. See which voice is running for most time.

Solution will come depending by which wakelock is keeping your phone alive, i.e. longer Mediascanner activity can be suspect of corrupted data...

Some reference for wakelocks: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827676

How can you install BBS as a system app? I push it to /system/app folder by myself and change the permissions.

But it still doesnt act as a system app. I could not understand the problem actually :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] FabreFaction:
There are calendar updates in DU8.0

Take a look at the change log.

If you don't remove the Calendar apps you will get Calendar FCs.

The Rom will install the updated versions when you flash it.

The calendar will resync with Google and your calendar entries will reappear.

Dirty flash it without removing the apps if you want.

You'll get the FCs.

Remove the apps and dirty flash the Rom again.

The FCs will be gone.

My experience with pegasusq governor:

With light phone useage, I arrived at end of the day with 40-60% of battery

Now I reached end of the day with 70% and even more!

But I experimented some quick drain with G apps I used not to have with ondemand governor (could be unrelated though)

Trying lulzactiveq right now...

edit for first day of lulzactiveq: with some phone calls and messaging, battery duration and behaviour seems similar to pegasusq. But I have still to verify under heavy use...

after some days... lulzactiveq appears not to let phone heat at all and battery lasts a little bit more, but I get some lag more compared to pegasusq... so I choose the latter.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] osd_daedalus:
Not sure, but effectively I got again some freezes (even 2 per day, needing hard reboot) and lag especially between incoming call and screen turning on.

What was working flawlessly for me is the testbuild just before 8.0 official.

Now what really changed? Low memory? I used PA Micro... next time I'll use Pico ;)

What I have noticed, trying which CPU governor was better between pegasusq (the default for 8.0) and lulzactiveq (suggested by [MENTION=2104565]FabreFaction[/MENTION]), is the lag between incoming call and screen on is higher to me with the latter governor. [MENTION=2104565]FabreFaction[/MENTION] anyway pointed at phone freezing with pegasusq, although he appears to use the I/O scheduler ROW instead of cfq.

Maybe is the governor the cause of freezes?

I'm going to try lulzactiveq/ROW now, then pegasus/ROW, then the old good ondemand/cfq.

add: for [MENTION=5334808]xMorpheus[/MENTION] and everyone who wants to logcat with a frozen phone: much likely "adb logcat" won't work with a frozen phone, but the Android tool "monitor" in Android SDK folder worked for me in getting a valid logcat.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Thot Ctrl:
I think there is an android app for getting the logcat so I am going to try that first but thanks for the suggestion :highfive:

And I was using raw kernel 6 with the default pegasus/row but i still had the freezes.

I wiped everything and havent installed anything. However I changed my kernel to forest OC kernel (Omni)

Going to see how it goes this time
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] osd_daedalus:
Was that intentional? Do you really re-flash GAPPS at each testbuild? Or do you mean clean flash?

I have to test jajb... I guess I have to clean data/system/etc... to remove PA remnants, right?

Little update...

for now lulzactiveq/row seems to work better to me than lulzactiveq/cfq, but I have still to test "on the field".

My critical situations are when calling very often the keyboard (compulsive Whatsapp messaging) and when car navigating (Sygic/Google Maps). It's not nice to discover your phone has frozen only after you have done some kilometers in your car and you still are in the same position on the phone screen :P
