Hey, thanks again for your help.

I set performance settings as you did on your screenshot, and noticed that the max and min frequencies reset again when I access performance settings.

Anyway, I installed No-frills CPU Control app and check just to see if the frequencies where saved and yes, indeed, they are set on 162 min and 1728 max.

I will discharge battery until phone turns off, and then will charge it until full, just to see how does this settings work for me and how do they affect the battery life. I can't tell now because I have about %30 left, but I will tell how did it go when my phone is charged again. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Yes definitely experiment with the settings, I've personally expressed many times that I did prefer the old performance app, as it was simple, clutter free and very use friendly, but carbon team has decided they want to use this instead, we just have to deal with that,

even thou after setting your settings one you exit and enter back they appear to be reset so it's confusing but glad your settings have stuck and it does require downloading another app just to check this.

hopefully u find this build more battery friendly, after you complete your charge let these settings run for a few days if you find that are not good for you, try your settings prior to flashing this build.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
I think we need to make a poll or vote to bring back the old performance menu and get in touch with the carbon team to express this, because I also dislike the performance layout they have merged

[MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] Any news about F4ktion kernel? And please, have a look on my thread, maybe some OTG informations will help.

Actually, this kernel from Mega 6.3 looks nice:

BTW, my keyboard force-closes when I'm trying to write using gestures.

Speaking of the new kernel, I know doubletap2wake works only if wakelock is presented (for example connected OTG), but device recognizes my touch at the bottom of the screen only. Are you able to fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Idk it's like everything is working to some degree.. but it's also like some things are freaking out.

I'm going to do a fresh install.

If it freaks out and i have to load loads of stuff again for nothing, I am going to be kinda annoyed:rolleyes:

Kernel could use some functions and perhaps better drivers for usb otg,

Would love to be able to use files from a flash drive or hard disk.

Does my drive need to be a certain format?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] lipalok:
I don't know, but I think yes. BTW, do you think that OTG without external power is possible?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Yes.. but not viable with battery life like this.

I was asking to h0rn3t about our little issue on PerformanceControl app, (which is based the one included on OmniROM, Carbon ROM) he fixed sliders in his app to show correctly clock speed, he's kindly included hardlimit feature too so we can now change our max CPU speed without using my hardlimit scripts.

I'll include these changes on PerformanceControl included on my Carbon ROM builds when he update his source code app with the new one.

I'm experiencing a very slow charging time with the latest build, I'm I the only one with this problem? It had about 1 hour and it only charged about %30. Before the update it charged %50 in 1 hour. Haven't tried the fast charge option. What does it do?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] F4k:
For me battery charges normally, as his name say, "fast charge" will charge more faster your battery but you need to select the correct voltage, check this.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rolo143:
I think is because of dirty flashing. I will try a clean flash, as soon as a newer build comes out. Also, how much will it take to release a final and stable version?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] mobrol:
For me also slow charge exists! Much slower! I dont think it is because of dirty flashing.. It is maybe something wrong with the voltages in this release..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rolo143:
It was so better with the first nightlies, I used the one from 03/15 and it was so stable and smooth...

Hope they fix this soon, with the next updates.

How do you enable Chamber Of Secrets?? With a Google search for it you get a bunch of Harry Potter results and the few places where there is a little bit of info people act like it is a matter of national security..

I find it pretty pathetic that the people who say 'leave it alone because it's dangerous if you don't know what you're doing' are the same people who encourage others to flash their devices with custom roms and recoveries..

I despise having features on my phone that are locked off from me because some ass I don't even know assumes I'm an idiot..

It's a feature that allows you to create almost any shortcuts with the correct text strings (which I do not know yet). If you create a custom shortcut, choose from activities and look under systemui, there is an entry called 'Chamber Of Secrets'. If you select it, it says 'the chamber of secrets is closed'.

I have just found out there is supposed to be a blank hidden entry at the bottom of developer options that will enable this but clearly not in this rom :/
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DLD23:
Ok bought official bln app pro version it blinks. The built in one works well but free version has no option to blink. The developer requested on his page that when bln is put into a kernel that the free version is used. That makes since, im sure the dev wants paid for his work :)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
Yes I was looking at some videos on YouTube, after searching "android chamber of secrets" some videos are showing it but they were SLIM ROM, another thing I saw there was an android tweaker app that was doing the same thing, maybe you could try that, but doubt it'll work, as for me from what I've seen from the videos it's not something I'm really keen on doing lol

I know that it is a Slim feature but it is right there in systemui. Plus this rom contains 'slim shortcuts' which is where it is accessed after it is unlocked.. There just seems to be no way of unlocking it so not sure if a third party app will work, will try.. It must be in a settings file somewhere..

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
I have seen it working properly before, I cannot remember if it was in a previous build or another rom. Just switched off automatic time, rebooted and then it showed correctly. Switched on automatic time again and rebooted and it's still showing correctly, will have to see tomorrow though what happens. I have a feeling it should check the time and update but it is broken and I forced an update by changing the settings.. It is a small little thing but a nice feature if it is working correctly.

While I'm at it I just have one question. I'm not sure if it's intentional for some reason or if it's something upcoming. When setting up Pie controls, the navigation bar and it's ring targets and the power menu, you are able to add custom shortcuts, which is very very nice. All of these except the ring targets for some reason also have 'screen record' as an option.

This leaves a hole in the quick settings panel which offers neither a screen record or custom option. The one that it hurts not having there the most is screen record, because it seems to be the place for storing those sort of tools..

Because I'm not at all sure I am simply asking if this is intentional or just work in progress?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
Lol I hear you. There are three things that give Slim the edge though that I wish Carbon had: 1. Custom shortcuts anywhere, 2. Toggles for the nav bar and pie controls and others, 3. Complete custom mapping of the hardware buttons.

These are all killer features for me and combined give you ultimate control of your phone. For me it's still a race between the two to see what new features come up next.

This is the longest time I've stuck with the same ROM, since you started doing carbon builds I've been here, mainly cos I've always loved carbon but also because your a really good dev and your work is class, it's precise and prefect! Thank you once again for all your hard work

There is another member (etan123) for whom BLN doesn't work as well. So I am not alone, although it seems to work for the most guys.

Do you have an idea what could be causing this? Or is there something I can do, like provide debug info?

How about debugging? Is there a way to see kernel messages? Maybe it is trying to say something. But I wouldn't know how to check dmesg on android.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
There is BlackOut Gapps, there should be a choice of either black or transparent there. But with modified apps you trade in the latest updates for nice looking apps. Otherwise PA always seems to be the most up to date.

Personally I find most of the Google apps to be severely stunted in terms of configuration and kinda redundant. The tasks performed by a whole range of their apps can all be done by one decent web browser. And while I do use gmail I don't understand why I want to trade in for an email client that can only handle gmail :/
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:
You can try gapps from team blackout, or eclipse gapps, but it's not really recommended flashing black gapps as you could get black on black text which is unreadable, instead I recommend PA 0 day gapps as it's updated all the time and to get the black look u desire just install a black theme that gives a full black look, few themes like

1.black infinitum dark

2.blackout theme x

3.darkholo

4.thyrusholo full black

5.pitchblack theme

You'll find so many on the market, and plus you have the option for the dark carbon switch within the ROM also

This is better because it will prevent black on black text and prevent issues occurring
