Bit of a noob question, what's the difference in this odexed latest test ROM compared to what we've been seeing previously?

Sent from my GT-I9195 CarbonKat 4.4.2
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] F4k:
When I build my own ROM (F4k MOD), always used to use DEXPREOPT to false, it mean that ROM will be builded as odexed.

In practical terms this give you a extra boost theoretically, default google ROMs come odexed.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] thejester123:
New test build + full wipe = very smooth and responsive. I have had no issues so far at all ;) thnx F4k
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] JustArchi:
Nice to see that more and more developers decide to use my optimizations :). Hope you'll have a great smoothness with these flags.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
So far so good with the test build except the aosp keyboard closes every time I try to gesture type. Every now and then getting a FC message. Going back to the previous build for now..

[MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] - do you by any chance know anything about this 'fm transmitter' I am starting to see in a lot of latest rom builds? It only appears in the launcher in the first few seconds of startup then it disappears. It is listed as 'FM TX New'. I have managed to launch it although I don't have a fm radio near by so cannot test it. Also, it makes the while phone run sloooow while active. Once it disappears from the launcher there is no way to access it, unless on another fresh install.

I first saw it in SlimRom and have since spotted it in this rom and C-Rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rolo143:
I really need this, I'm getting out of space on internal sd even when I'm using foldermount, because you can't move apps to external sd. I will really appreciate this. I'm so excited! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] F4k:
I didn't have any issue with aosp keyboard, but I made a clean installation.

I'll investigate a little about fm transmitter.

It will be included on next build this weekend.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] lipalok:
Speaking of keyboard, when I used CarbonROM, I had the same problem with gestures.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
I also did a clean install, I always do when testing a new build. But my phone has been acting strange, vibrating at certain times that it never used to, for eg after restoring a backup in recovery. But also getting random vibrations any time, sometime during start up, sometimes while I'm just typing a message. Not sure if this is a kernel issue or what but it's freaking me out. I will try reinstalling recovery via Odin and start everything from fresh again and try test again.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ViolentR:
The test build seems very fast and smooth so far, thank you :).

Just a quick few questions:

Since you might be adding the move to sd card feature, I'm guessing If I want to have that feature I'll need to do a fresh install? or would I be fine dirty flashing over the test build I'm using?

Also with the test build, would you recommend using ART runtime? Or stick to dalvik?

Thanks for your time. :good::o
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] davze:
The new test Version is working great. I don't have encountered any problems by now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] spanish33:
move apps to SD

Will it be an app that I can add to another rom? If not can I get a patch that I can add to source code before compilation?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DLD23:
Can we get a sep board for test build. This is something I would like to explore... what does the test build have?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Howdareme:
Hi I have 2 questions!

1. Does foldermount work?

2. Can I install from cm11 without losing data?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rolo143:
1. Foldermount works fine, but you have to move manually the files to external sd. (As far as I know you have to do this on KitKat Roms, because foldermount doesn't move files by itself anymore.)

2. It is recommended you do a clean install, if it's the first time you're going to use this ROM you have to wipe everything and then flash this ROM. You will lose data but you can always backup.

I used CM before, but I think this ROM is way much better, and the Dev is always updating it. You will feel more satisfied with this ROM, I guarantee it. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Vilo76:
I'm running the test "JustArchi" version, and I notice that my phone doesn't enter into deepsleep mode at all.

I'm not saying that deepsleep mode represents 3% of time, but that DS is not used at all (according to CPU Spy and embedded app).

I can't say if this behavior appeared with this very version ...

Is it a known issue ?

EDIT : Solved, that was the KSM feature that prevented the phone to enter DeepSleep.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] etan123:
I have a similar issue.

I made a dirty flash (as usual) of the ROM from 16.05. some days ago and began to have vibrations that were followed by reboots.

Sometimes the phone get also totally black and I have to press the power button 10 seconds or more to (re)start it.

I made a clean flash yestderday but these problems stay...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Phenom2122:
And it is definitely a Carbon or kernel issue because the moment I tried out the latest build of Slim all the weird vibrations stopped, including the one I am now getting in recovery every time I backup or restore.

Have you tried this latest test version? For me all the strange behavior has stopped with this new build, although it is still vibrating to let me know I've finished backup operations in recovery, just a new thing I'll have to get used to.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Fabiodalex:
JustArchi is a great build

"JustArchi" version is the best build ever seen. Everything works very well.Thank you F4k!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] etan123:

i find that foldermount duplicates the folder that you choose from internal memory to Ext SD card.

I heard that an app called redirect works better

No gfx issues for me personally either at all. And the gapps I use are maps, earth, street, calendar, quick office and play store. I even went to that exact app page in play store lol. Besides a false start with my keyboard for some unknown reason this build has been perfect for me.

Hi! I have this same problem will not go into sleep mode. What is KSM feature, and that you can solve this problem? Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Vilo76:
KSM is "Kernel Same Page Merging", a Linux feature that could eventually increase performances.

But, when activated, the KSM daemon "ksmd" runs in the background, and prevent the phone from entering DeepSleep.

KSM is activated under Settings / Performance / Memory settings.

By the way, if you have DeepSleep issue and KSM is not enabled, you can use a tool such as BetterBatteryStats to track the culprit(s).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] Loulou-13:
KSM ,Zram ,in my opinion it's completely useless ...for a phone like S4 mini .
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] paxm:
Thanks for the quick reply! KSM was not on the feature! This problem was only in the present and the Carbon Editions this before? I use the same programs. See the program BetterBatteryStats what's the problem? Else has this problem?

Has anybody ever had a problem where there headphones mic does not pick up any sound? I'm having problems ( I've tried this with two different headphones, original samsung and skullcandy ones i have)

When using apps such as Hangouts, Skype, Viber etc my phone doesn't seem to pick my voice up from the headphones mic and sometimes it will not pick anything up or it will only pick it up from my actual phone mic so i'll have to unplug and plug my headphones in a few times and if i'm lucky it'll work.

If anyone has ever had a problem like this and downloaded an app or changed some settings to fix this please let me know.

I've had this problem for a while not sure which build it started from for me either.

Thanks for your time guys!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] rolo143:
When using Skype I notice a problem with the mic, it just sounds like an old radio, when I exit the app you can still hear the sound, and when somebody calls, you don't hear the voice, you only hear it but it sounds like a robot, lol. The only way to fix this is rebooting the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] kamikaze702k:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] lipalok:

Theoretically, are you able to build a test ROM with OTG support? I have standard OTG cable. Developer [MENTION=4407940]marcin1147[/MENTION] has told me that it's possible, but some developer (you) will need to force kernel to send voltage from battery to USB port. Here's what he has done with S3 Mini:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2691624
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DLD23:
Start by swiping to frequency, min 162, max 1ghz, intelliactive for governor, row for i/o and set at boot, be sure to allow superuser permission when the performance app prompts but before all that install supersu as root app as I always find the stock one to be problematic.. that is completely safe to extend battery life. Dont touch voltage until you read more

Some apps (like almost all gapps) are protected, you'll not able to move them.

After install of CarbonROM, please install this version of f4ktion kernel if you are using app2sd feature or you'll loose your apps after a reboot.

Where is the bug? I had stock ROM and used Nova Launcher and always got the problem that it doesn't stay as default. All the time pressing use as default, but next time the same.

Now the same with Carbon ROM.

For stock ROM I have deleted original launcher just one - Nova stayed and no problem. There I can't delete Launcher3.

Hey guys. I am new to this forum, but reading your posts for several weeks now. Nice forum! :)

Clean installed the latest build and it is awesome. Thank you so much F4k!! Finally also in the Napster app I can choose saving files on the external SD. That was the last thing that annoyed me. So now everything is perfect. Great ROM and great dev! :)

Just a small issue. Since the last two builds the search suggestions and results in Google maps are displayed in black. Didn't see that before. I did a clean install and installed pa gapps modular mini. Does somebody know how to change that when still using dark carbon? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] ViolentR:
Does anybody else experience low mic volume input when using their headphones for talking compared to when using TouchWiz?

I did a quick test using a sound recorder and calling a friend.

Using samsung headphones.

When I'm on carbon, my friend and the sound recorder pick up my voice but its a little low with barely any gain/boost on the mic.

However when I'm on Touchwiz there is a lot of gain/boost and my friend and the sound recorder can pick up my voice a lot better and louder.

Does anybody know why this may be happening? As I use Hangsouts/Skype a lot and get complaints from friends saying they cannot hear me very well. But with touchwiz I don't have this problem but I really want to use Carbon Rom as it's just perfect.

Thanks for your time.

The app2sd built in feature is just AWESOME. It's working like it should, also Foldermount is fixed, too. Now I won't have to worry about getting low storage space on internal memory. :)

The keyboard force closes when using gesture swipes, but I don't really care about it anymore, because I use SwiftKey keyboard, but still, just wanted to point out that bug. Everything else is working flawlessly. :)

I didn't like that, either, but you must do it if you want to prevent bugs, I dirty flashed before and I experienced some kind of bugs and freezes so I recommend it. You can backup data and apps with Titanium Backup. I use this mostly to backup game progress and I also use APK Extractor https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ext.ui to backup some apps on my sd card.

Also you can use an app called "MyAppList" from the Playstore,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.projectsexception.myapplist

With this little app you can have a list of all your apps installed before the flash, and restore them from the play store itself. I highly recommend this app, it has been really useful to me.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] DLD23:
Well it was a failure making the update zips... it installed the apps but it was all messed up. Guess its back to batch restoring after I install titanium with each clean wipe. I will report on new build when I freshly install in a couple days.. thanks for all the hard work :)

Does somebody experience the black search results in Google maps as well when using pa gaaps and dark carbon? I don't know how to turn that off. What gapps are you using in case you are not experiencing this phenomenon?

Regarding the FC of keyboard when using gesture swipe, I would recommend to use the original google keyboard app. It doesn't force close when swiping. I installed it as it doesn't turn black in dark carbon which I don't like. And it has the same layout and features as the aosp one.
