Hi Nico, now since more as 2 hours using your rom i can say... No issues at this time. All works fast, stable and great battery live. For first circle in sleep modus with permanent wifi on used 2 % in 2 hours.

This build with 4.4.3 is greatest.. Very good work...

For a new first release with new Android build i can say very very stable with all features included as before and a little bit more.

Thanks again that you included now that xpose apsettings works now...

Can you please add some fixes for Hebrew locale?

1.fix the non-intrusive option n the dialer to support RTL languages - see OmniROM's fix with that title (I think I gave you a direct link in a private message).

2. The trebuchet settings - the title of each setting and the value of the setting are displayed over each other, making them impossible to read.

Thanks.

Battery drain

As great the ROM as it is, I get a severe battery drain, that I never got before with any ROM.

Even when the screen is off, and I don't touch the phone, I lose 1% every 5-10 minutes.

Edit: I see others have reported great battery with the 4.4.3 version. What am I doing wrong? I have the same apps and same settings (almost) as I'm used to on other ROMs.

And the battery went down 20% in 2.5 hours, when the screen was on about 15 minutes net during these 2.5 hours.

Problems with Dark UI

When using Dark UI (4.4.3 version), the dialer is not okay:

1. When you show the dial pad for calling, the digits are in light gray and hardly visible at all.

2. Calls you've made appear without the name of the callee (or maybe they are also in such a color that I can't see).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omkarsathe92:
Try this:

Governor - Ondemand & I/O scheduler - Noop

No Overclock NO UNDERCLOCK No Undervolt

Sync, Auto-Rotate, Auto-brightness & custom transition animations (if any) - all OFF (I don't even use halo and active display and stuff but the choice is yours)

Settings > Dev options > all animation scales to 0.5x

Use Greenify

And in general, a reboot a day keeps all the problems away :)

Absolutely YES!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Gad81:
Let try. . .:D,gapps from Banks 4.4.3 or?:)

I9100 CyanFox 4.4.2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I have Governor Ondemand (and I/O scheduler cfq, that's the default). No overclock / underclock / undervolt - I never ever messed with those, and I expect this to be the default.

Sync - I want to keep on. I've always had it on, that's a major part of using the phone...

Auto-brightness, custom transition animations - do not matter as long as the screen is off...

Reboots - I've only installed this version of the ROM yesterday night, and I've already rebooted about 5 times since.

This battery drain is what I see about 1 hour after a reboot.

And again, I've always used these settings (e.g. sync on, active display on) and never had such a battery drain. I used Beanstalk ROM, then Carbon ROM, also AOSB. But all were 4.4.2, not 4.4.3.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omkarsathe92:
Yes and I'd recommend the Minimal version

Well, try NOOP with Ondemand and Try Greenify and see if it improves things :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Greenify... that's the one thing I forgot that I had working in the other ROMs. I'll try and report back.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omkarsathe92:
Sure :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Once I change to NOOP and click the back button, does it take effect immediately? Or do I have to press 'apply automatically on reboot' and then reboot?

BTW, Greenify - no help. Battery still drains fast.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omkarsathe92:
It does take effect immediately (correct me if I'm wrong), although I have the "apply automatically on boot" option enabled.

As far as I'm concerned, this should be the course of action for you-

1) the rom has built-in wakelock blocker, so try to use it to your advantage if you've the knowledge (I don't, so I don't use it but our friends here might be able to help)

2) apply all the settings we discussed, do a reboot and keep calm. Give this rom a couple of full discharge cycles, maybe three, let it settle down, things generally improve after a couple of days

3) if they don't and if you insist on making this rom work, DO A CLEAN WIPE and RE-INSTALL and do NOT restore data (app-only)

4) if it still does not work after all this, well maybe this ain't the rom for you :) not all roms work for everyone (me included) as every phone is different so it's alright :)

Have a nice day!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KewalG:
Which all apps do you greenify? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omkarsathe92:
ALL except Whatsapp, Fb Messenger, Keyboard, Nova Launcher and at times Zooper widget when I use it!

I use the Minimal Gapps so Google apps like gmail, maps, play music, etc are installed as user apps and hence free version of greenify does the job for me :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Thanks a lot for your help.

I'm not that desperate to make this ROM work for me. I used noop & Greenify for almost all the apps (I never went this far with the other ROMs).

I did a clean wipe before I flashed this ROM. I came from another ROM so I had to do that.

I do worry that maybe it's not a problem with that ROM, maybe it's 4.4.3 that drains the battery a lot more than 4.4.2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omkarsathe92:
Yep could be the case :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Nico suggested I install and use BetterBatteryStats to find the reason for the drain. It'll take me some time (I need my phone, so I have to charge it now). I'll report back my findings later.

Yep, here too. Better as on 4.4.2. I used gustavo kernel latest twrp version. With Pegasus and row. No other changes i do in stweaks settings... Ok max 100000 min 200 and sound settings i changed to louder sound.

Now i test on demand with noop if better results as i have at this time.

I lost in deep sleep on the night with permanent wifi on. 1‰ on 1 hour 15minutes.

On day i works 13 hours with 1 hour 30 minutes screen, ore little more, and have 20% left battery. This results with charging on 2 circles. Wifi permanently was on.

[MENTION=5630829]sreinst1[/MENTION] check if you install the Google + app. This takes many battery . If you not needed than remove this.

Non-intrusive option in dialer for Hebrew

Nico, here's the fix from Omni: https://github.com/omnirom/android_...mmit/49710263459564e3006767b65a5a637206f6a1de

However, I think they have a bug in the following line, which is why I don't see the caller id:

- android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/txt_contact_name"

+ android:layout_alignEnd="@+id/txt_contact_name"

I think it should be alignStart and not alignEnd.

How do you use the Navigation ring?

In the 4.4.2 version, I enabled it and set 3 targets, and I could bring it up by dragging from the bottom of the screen.

Now, with 4.4.3, I am unable to drag it (it works about 1 in 10 times. The other 9 times I find myself moving something from the bottom toolbar, a very undesirable operation).

Edit: Ok, found out how. I just need to swipe slowly from the bottom. Swiping too fast causes toolbar buttons to be dragged instead of showing the navigation ring.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Status bar -> Battery percentage color when charging - does not always work when the battery mode is "percent only".

Sometimes it is charging but the color remains the discharging color.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Battery drain resolved

After my earlier posts about the large battery drain in 4.4.3, I think I got it resolved. Like someone suggested, I stopped the notifications from multiple applications, such as Google+, Tapatalk, Facebook and others. I've also Greenified these apps and also other apps like EverNote (which, surprisingly, seems to be a battery eater if you don't Greenify it...).

Now the drain rate is about 3% an hour, with a few minutes of phone usage during the hour, which is pretty much what I've had with all other KK ROMs. But I cannot compare any other ROM to this one, it's an amazing one.

Edit: At night, when not using the phone for a few hours, battery drain was about 1% per hour, better than any of the ROMs I've had. Great! No issue with this ROM now.

Default keyboard problem

I set the default keyboard to Swype. For some reason, every once in a while it goes back to the built-in Android keyboard as default, and when I start writing a msg, the Android keyboard comes up and I have to go and change the default keyboard back to Swype.

This is not caused by a restart. If the default keyboard was Swype, then after restart it will remain Swype. Something else causes it to change, I don't know when and what.

Anyone else experienced a similar problem?

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

@Nico_60, can you add the GPS optimizer to the ROM?

Some other ROMs, such as AOSB, have it, and it seems to improve the GPS's performance.

This feature is titled "GPS Optimizer , modify gps conf your country" in AOSB. You select your country, and it optimizes the GPS for that country by changing its configuration files. Although I've only used this once, the GPS found my location immediately, where usually it takes a minute or two.

On the other hand, if there's a similar tool on the Play Store, then it doesn't need to be in the ROM. I am not familiar with such an app that works well.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] danielk68:
i'm running the AOSB rom. i can tell you that the GPS optimizer, doesn't do anything(for me - israel).

i tried to change it, but with defaults settings it works better.

just my 2 cents...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Ok then, Nico - ignore my request. I only used it once, and I was surprised that after selecting Israel, I turned on the GPS and it immediately found my location - I'm not used to it. Maybe I just got lucky that day.

Random reboots in 4.4.3

With the last nightly, I am experiencing random reboots. This also happened to me with Carbon ROM 4.4.3, but never in 4.4.2.

Anyone else experiencing that?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 089man:
Since i install this Rom 8.6.14 with full wipe factory reset, format system, gustavo kernel latest and banks gapps no issues. No frezzes, never a reboot. Never system ui starts. This is the first Rom with no problems. 4.4.2 i had restarts a lot not on 4.4.3 from nico60.

I not restored any data with titanium, only apps. I used a lot of xpose module, all works perfectly... Never had a better Rom before.

What does "2 circles charging" mean?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 089man:
Ok, understand what you mean but I'm used this rom a little bit more as 2 days and I used and test it very hard, smile.... Crash tests with all combinations of settings, kernel and more...I know one or 2 apps that not 100% compatible can crash the system.

Example your battery drain problem... It's was not rom related you think at first. I have wrote to you that Google + the most eating battery and you can solve it. Now your battery live is great...

I recommend, flash this rom as complete new clean rom, no restored data, format system, factory reset.... And you will happy with all, smile

Edit

2 circle... I mean i charging my battery 2 times from 1 to 100%

I flashed this ROM as a complete clean ROM. I had to re-download and re-configure all apps and all settings - I did a full wipe, including format of /system.

Don't get me wrong, I am very satisfied with this ROM. So far, it's been running on my phone for >1 day and only had 1 spontaneous reboot.

No major problems. The memory problem is solved. There are a few tiny problems, that I've posted, such as the battery percent color not always correct, and default keyboard somehow changing to AOSP from time to time, so I keep having to set the default again to my Swype keyboard.

Just when going to try this rom, i saw this posts... i don't like to change kernels...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Each ROM comes with a built-in kernel, one that it was tested with. You don't need to change kernels after that, but there should be no problem with that if you flash a matching kernel.

This ROM is amazing, I've tried many ROMs and this one is better than all of them by far. I strongly recommend, you won't be sorry.

In any case, you can always create a backup before flashing the ROM, and if you don't like it, just restore from the backup and you're back at your previous ROM.
