[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
This is fairly off topic, however, the matter of backup is relevant to flashing custom firmwares. For anyone who uses ES File Browser and is annoyed at the fact that it doesn't backup system app data, I figured out a little trick to achieve this. Go to /system/app and reinstall anything that you want to backup. These aps will then appear in the app manager as user apps. Backup as normal. When you reboot your device, Android will 'clean' itself and all the apps you just reinstalled into data will become system apps again. You can restore what you backup up to a system app. Backup achieved! It's kinda annoying and proves how stupid it is that ES cannot do this by itself but it works. Successfully restored everything after a clean flash.

The inbuilt superuser still doesn't work correctly :/ Gestures haven't worked on my keyboard for a long time now as well. And there appear to be a few graphical errors with this latest build.

Edit: it appears as if ES now fully supports backing up system apps (haven't checked in a while but I haven't tested it yet either), so that was probably a lot of effort for nothing.. :/

Time

Sorry for the OT, but....

Every time I reboot, to recovery or to system, I have to set the time again...

Anyone else having this issue?

I don't think it's a ROM problem, but a hardware thing...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
I get that from time to time. In my experience it's not the rom or hardware, it's your recovery. Both Philz Touch and TWRP occasionally lose their time settings it seems.. This happened with the older variants, it hasn't happened yet with the f4k mod but it doesn't happen often so only time will tell.

For me, in Philz Touch changing the time and time zone to the correct setting, then choosing the option to 'save as default settings' usually solves this.

STOCK

Oh this is my mix on top of fak's rom.

I have made sure on countless times that any bugs I find are not related to my changes.

Also i micro optimized ui to use less colors and less white to save tiny amounts of drain.

Since these screens are all made up of addictive ~RGB led's it's seems smart to keep to a single color per pixel "black and blue or black and red or black and green"

Again this only helps in UI.

But personally i like the black and red :D

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
Personally I wish hover had more settings, like a blacklist. It is very nice looking but in some cases can be extremely annoying.

Yeah I just checked that module, I think it just puts the CM feature into the rom, without any settings yet (although it only has one release so far). So for now I think this module is useless to Carbon. We have to either wait for settings to be added to this module or for Hover settings to be added in Carbon Fibres.

instead of uncheck show notifications click on blacklist and choose blacklist from hover. then you still receive notifications in the statusbar but hover is not showing them anymore. (see post # 1167)

Battery Life and hot phone

I have noticed when running certain apps or even just booting up the phone gets pretty hot. In general I also think the battery life is definitely worse since the carbon 4.4.2/3 versions. I used to get 2 days for light use and at least one 20+ hour day when used heavily but since updating my phone has been barely making it through the day. the other day it ran out before I got home so it only lasted till 4pm never had that problem before and I am not playing games tediously on it either or anything like that. :rolleyes:

Also noticed in betterbatterystats it says wifi on 100% (which is fine cause thats how its set) and WiFi running 100% (Definitely not fine cause it is definitely not transmitting and receiving 100% of the time). Previously I had noticed that having wifi permanently enable didn't really use much more power - which was great :)

I suspect that the stats saying it is always running is a problem cause being on or off doesn't make much of a difference but continually transmitting radio waves will certainly!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gladson1976:
WIFI always on could be because of location services - High Accuracy

try setting to Phone only

Settings -> Location -> Mode
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Notes on my usage.

I don't use location services!

I find it utterly useless to have my position available all the time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] draken101:
Thanks yes it was set to that and have changed it now. But also noticed the following.

I did some cpu monitoring with an app called "CPU Monitor Service" to see whats what and found out that one of my apps (Lenovo Snap it Camera) - which I downloaded and installed off xda-developers - was running rampant and using a huge amount of CPU cycles the phone has definitely been running better since I removed this. (Sucks though cause it is by far the best camera app I have used and takes amazingly good pictures) I tried hibernating it with greenify and even then it still somehow managed to used 40+ % of the CPU and in doing so keep it at full clock speed? I had it for a while and it didn't seem to do that before maybe it became corrupt.

I know the above isn't related to this thread but just thought I would mention it particularly the CPU monitoring which is helpful identifying problematic applications.

Quick Question though. Can apps be effected from dirty installs. (I usually wipe dalvik and cache) but I noticed I have had to occasionally reinstall apps after rom updates where the rom is fine but the apps sometimes aren't. Why would this be?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] gladson1976:
Good work on finding the problem :)

--------

One thing I noticed (seems to be a graphical glitch) is that the Circle battery with percentage and Dotted circle battery with percentage lose the percentage when the battery is at 100%.

Maybe it was intentional since having 3 digits inside the circle is a bit difficult.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] hansare:
This is not from latest rom.

It exists already a very long time.

I think it is intentionally.

Just noticed now that my cLock widget doesnt update, the time in the status bar is correct tho

Anyone else seen this bug?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
I haven't had the cLock issue for an extended time but usually when the phone first starts up, the time in general takes a long time to update often ending up in an error from whatsapp.

Also I have noticed with the new feature of displaying seconds in the status bar clock, they will stop updating and it will stay on '00' sometimes.

There is also the problem of the 'contextual notification header' not updating correctly.

I have long suspected that the automatic updating of time is the real issue here and I'm going to test now with it switched off for a day or two. Maybe that could cure your Clock issue?

It's interesting to note as well that we are in the same region and time zone, not sure if that could have anything to do with anything.
