[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MMcCraryNJ:
Hey guys, thought I would try and leave a quick tip over something interesting I found.

The day I updated my Note 3 to the official 4.4.2 OTA, I stupidly installed Nova Launcher Prime (I should have waited before changing anything on my device so I could monitor potential battery drain issues with the new software). I started noticing that my battery would drain 20-40% more during the day than it had been doing since I got the phone in December. On a light day, I was plugging in at night with about 80% remaining, after the KK update, it was more around 50-60%. And on a full charge, I would get no more than 3 hours of screen-on time, which is pathetic considering I used to be able to get 5-6. I figured this was just Kit Kat doing its thing.

But then I started to get mad and wondered how I could solve this. After deleting some apps/games that I thought might have been running rogue processes, and changing around a few settings, I noticed no immediate benefit. I was about to just factory reset, when I realized I had installed Nova the same day I got the update. At first, Nova completely slipped my mind as a potential battery drainer, because why would a home screen replacement do that? I removed Nova from my system, rebooted, and then threw it on the charger overnight.

It's been 5 days now, and my battery life is back to where it was when I first took it out of the box. I thought this was weird, since Nova is extremely popular and not once have I ever heard about battery life complaints from the user base. Sure enough, on the Note 3 subreddit this morning, there is a post regarding Nova killing someone's battery, and a few users confirmed the same.

I chimed in there as well, but wanted to come here to let you all know that removing Nova from my system and going back to the default TW launcher gave me back a dramatic amount of my battery life which I had thought I lost due to the 4.4.2 update. I don't know if it's a Kit Kat thing, a Nova thing, or a Note 3 thing, or some combination. I know how popular the "stock" Android look is around here, and figured maybe a good deal of you guys are running Nova. If you're noticing higher than usual battery drain and have Nova, try removing it, to see if it helps.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] undrwater:
Have you notified the dev?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mutantblack:
The dev of Nova is inactive for like 6 months now. Most people think he made his money and abandon the project.

To OP,

I still love NOVA bought the prime long ago. Use it everyday on every single rom that I install on my note 3. Never the case of drain. I use it on both KK and JB rom. Granted I never use official KK rom so I can't comment on that but with all the custom roms, I haven't had a single issue. Great on battery life, smooth and fast.

Since Nova is a problem for you, I can suggest try the Apex Launcher. Both Apex and Nova are very similar to each other. Hope Apex doesn't act the same on your phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] derek.urben:
I am pretty sure he had other issues with his life is what I heard. I don't think he just took the money and ran, but that is always a possibility!

And to OP I use Nova Launcher (non prime) on and off between themer and it doesn't have much effect at all ~2% most of the time.

Maybe try reinstalling it or refreshing your phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] azi609:
Didn't notice any issues with Nova

I've been using Nova Launcher for a long time now and didn't notice any battery drains after official KK update.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Yup nova is draining almost none of my battery here.

Goes to show that each device is different.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
I've never noticed any increase in battery drain when using Nova. Been using it for years. Although I admit, I feel like changing launchers since it seems its been abandoned along with Tesla Unread and WidgetLocker. Its unfortunate. Still works well considering it hasn't been updated in 6 months and continues to work after a major OS update.

I will eventually move to Apex or just go all natural with GEL. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dr. Evo:
Thank you so much for this thread! I was so worried and thought I needed to either factory exchange, or get a warranty exchange. I, too, have been suffering from horrendous battery drain using Nova Prime since and after the Kit Kat update. Prior to the update, my battery would drain anywhere from .80 - 1% per hour. Still not the amazing life others report, but that's pretty good to me. After the Kit Kat update, my battery would drain anywhere from 3 - 4% per hour! I had no idea what was causing the issue. I had thought Kit Kat was supposed to make things better. I was looking at the system processes, but nothing seemed unusual. So glad I found this thread. I will stop using Nova and see what happens in the next 48 hours!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dr. Evo:
Ugh, two hours into reverting to stock TW, and no dice! Down to 94% battery, already! For the OP, did you have to literally COMPLETELY uninstall Nova, or did you just disable/revert back to TW or another launcher?? I'm so friggin' frustrated with this B.S.! :(
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] asilva54:
nova prime user here. I have had other apps be the culprit of battery drain, but not nova on 4.4.2
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] slimslim:
Is there any benefit using let's say, kcin build on 4.4 aosp over nova which is 4.0 and later? I did try kcin launcher and seems much smoother.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] RaptorMD:
I suddenly started having battery drain issues, but it was Lookout that was killing my battery 50% plus per day and the phone was sitting idle. I didn't even put Nova Launcher back on yet but I will at some point this week.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pham818:
94% after 2 hours of use is pretty damn good. idk why you are complaining lol.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] MMcCraryNJ:
Update:

Yeah, it was almost definitely Nova draining my battery while in standby. Very very light use today, nearly half an hour of screen-on time, but my standby time is back to being fantastic.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dr. Evo:
And yet, you can't quote a single instance of me making any claim that I stated or insinuated, anything about "use." That's what YOU assumed. And there's a nice old saying about people who assume... :rolleyes:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] pham818:
doesn't matter. you said two hours. and you still complaining.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 1Zero3forlife:
I don't use Nova and was having major battery drain. Found it was the new FB and Google+. I reverted to an older FB and disabled G+, getting 28+ hours on a charge with decent usage.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] RashAPu:
Just for fun I uninstalled nova and went back to apex. Major battery improvement. Weird.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
As much as I loved Nova, I switched to APEX. It bothers me to use something that I know is abandoned and will never get another update or support.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dawheat:
I saw that there's a new beta of Tesla Unread which adds more apps - so could be the dev hasn't completely abandoned it.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
Whoah! So there is! Thats awesome! Thanks for the tip. I am party of the BETA community so I will grab that and see whats up!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Pramodius:
Nova launcher has just started using up to 50% of the battery, am unable to find a fix. Disabled it and went back to the standard launcher, then started Nova again - it worked properly for a few days, then back to massive battery drain.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KTownGT:
The dev also just updated nova with a few big features. Project is definitely still alive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PowurPlayr:
I recently upgraded the battery to a 3800 mah battery. I understand that the battery does not have an imbedded nfc antenna. Will this effect the function of the google wallet app?

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
Yes I believe so, need NFC to use wallet tap to pay I'm pretty sure.

I think some company does make NFC capable big ol batteries like the one you got tho.

The NFC chip is located within the battery. Without that nfc will not function.

I haven't used Gwallet for a while though so I do not know if anything has changed in regards to how it operates. I know when I used it it NEED NFC to work. Don't know if that changed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DR3W5K1:
Google has blocked the galaxy nexus from using wallet. People have been searching for a work around although none have been found yet.

I suspect the only way we may ever regain functionality is through the 3.4 kernel. It's still got a long way to go. The Devs involved in the porting process have hit a hiccup in getting the display working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lebowski2:
I was wondering about this. I'm on a 4.4 Rom, but Wallet still says tap and pay is "not available". So that's a known issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wassupdog:
Hello.

I was wondering if there is any OnePlus One lockscreen available to the Nexus 4 through Widgetlocker.

This is the lockscreen:

[Device Reviews and Information] Xperia-Ray:
Thank you for your great review!

It looks like HTC One on Steroids :).

I am just looking for good 16/10 10inch tablet, Is it worth the extra ~40$ over Ifive 3X?

Who makes better tabets/FW's ? iFive/Pipo/Ramos?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
You have to look on what CPUs they use. The Intel CPU in the Ramos i10 I have found to be much faster than the Rockchip 3188 that many of the other China tablets use. I have compared it to another 10" tablet (with Rockchip 3188) and the Ramos i10 is much more smooth in the browser and UI.

2D and 3D Games also run very nice & smooth on the Ramos i10. While some few games don't always run that well on the Rockchip 3188.

UPDATE check my quick comparison video here: Intel Atom vs. Rockchip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NNfDrO43Ho&list=PL4ZcKmLvMO7rJxHVewY6wObtvsofM32dk
[Device Reviews and Information] Xperia-Ray:
Wow- now I see the difference in UI performance between Z2580 VS RK3188,

I know that there is no much dev on intel based SOC, but if the official rom is stable and bug free out of the box is good enough for me.
[Device Reviews and Information] harlatino:
Thanks so much for your contribution!
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Your welcome, I have now also added a "full review" video in post #1
[Device Reviews and Information] harlatino:
Thank you so much :') That is all I was looking for. You have really useful and interesting videos at your channel.

I am waiting for this tablet i10, I think that in one week I will receive it. When I was searching for good quality tablets, i had to decide between this Ramos i10 and the Pipo M9pro, but I realized that there was some problem with the antenna in the PIPOm9, so i decided for this Ramos i10, it seems to be that the z2580 processor has better user experience and it is more fluid, right? What do you think about the Pipo m9 pro vs the Ramos i10?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Thanks, regarding the Pipo M9, I don't really know that tablet, but I think it's an older tablet by now. The Ramos i10 is newer, and the Intel Atom CPU does a better job than the Rockchip RK3188 in my opinion. The Ramos i10 is much more smooth, where the Rockchip tablets can have small hickups and lag. The gaming performance is also excelent on the Ramos i10. The WiFi is also very good.
[Device Reviews and Information] harlatino:
Ohhh and I was thinking, what do you thing abouta possible multi window feature? Like Ramos i12 or other Samsung devices, I've seen that many chinese tablets has this feature, it would be really useful too :/ do you think sometime we could have multi window option?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
No idea, but I think you could maybe install "floating apps", then you can open some apps in floating windows - that is not 100% the same, but the closest thing. I think the other tablets has the feature built into the firmware.
[Device Reviews and Information] harlatino:
Maybe you can try this in the Ramos i10? It doesnt work on my HTC One S :/

Hello,

I can't found - ROOT Wizard tool

Please can you put the direct link?

Thank you.

[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
the ROOT Wizard tool is the root program (ShuameSetup_2.1.1_.exe) from http://www.shuame.com

I also included it in my link in post #1 here the link again!

http://peecee.dk/upload/download/436622
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Just install Floating apps from the playstore, no need to install xposed framework etc.
[Device Reviews and Information] dma1968:
Ok,

I finaly found the file.

And my i10 is rooted and with Play Google.

Thank you.

Optimized apps for android tablet

Hi St7ler, i've just received my i10 but i would like to know if when you download facebook app from playstore it is bad optimized for tablet? I mean, the fonts and photos are oversized and other stuff. It happens in all android tablets (galaxy tab too?) or only in chinese devices.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
What do you mean? Fonts and photos are oversized?? On mine fonts are just small as normal and photos are resized to the tablets screen width. Can you post a link to a screenshot of what you mean? Because I don't understand what the problem should be. Text and pictures are displayed fine on mine in Facebook.
[Device Reviews and Information] harlatino:
I mean that for example in the ipads facebook app is different than the iphones facebook app, but in ramos (and i think all android tablets) the facebook app is just the same than the one for phones and it only increases the size of the photos are resized to the screen width as you say, but I think that it is normal.

Another thing that I've just realized is that the digitizer is not too accurate, when I use the tip of my finger, sometimes is clicks like 2 or 3 milimeter away. About other things the tablet is awesome. If the digitizer were better, it would be the best tablet of that price.

Another thing xD I installed the multiwindow feature (not floating apps aplication) that I posted on a Youtube video, and it is really cool, better than the Galaxy tablets feature.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I don't experience that the digitizer is accurate on mine, so I don't know what the problem is on yours :confused:

Sounds great with the multiwindow feature, maybe I should try it. So you just did what he does in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcPcjMMwYjM ??

But I don't get it? what is the difference on that and floating apps? It is both just floating apps?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Btw. you don't have to use the official Facebook app on the tablet, there are a lot of alternatives, like for example Friendcaster and others. Maybe they scale the pictures and text in a better way for you. (for me I don't care so much about it, so I just use the standard facebook app).
[Device Reviews and Information] harlatino:
The difference between floating apps and this is that for example in floating apps, facebook is only at the navegator, same as youtube, as the way I tell you (the one in the video you posted), its truely the app (every app you have, since facebook, to "settings", anything) rezised in a window which you can minimize, maximize and close.

PS. You have to download and install the APK File of Halo))) , dont install it from the google play because it doesnt works.
[Device Reviews and Information] harlatino:
Oh, and how long does ur ramos battery lasts? Mine as 7 or 8 hours of continue use (2hours from 100 to 70% of battery), would it be okay?
[Device Reviews and Information] JellyFilledNuts:
Solution for a little problem

The command "cd sdcard/root" has to be "cd sdcard/ROOT".
[Device Reviews and Information] JellyFilledNuts:
Does someone of you got Viper4Android working? In my case it installs the driver but it still doesn't works

Also the status says: "NEON enabled: No"

Could imagine that's a problem of the Intel CPU.

[Device Reviews and Information] RyuKurisu:
Does anyone know if it's likely that this tablet will get updated to 4.4.2 either by the manufacturer or custom ROM builders?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I think there is a good chance, because since I bought mine, Ramos has released 2 new firmwares. (but still not Kitkat), but that shows they actually do work on the firmware for this tablet.
[Device Reviews and Information] JellyFilledNuts:
Where can I find the offical updates? Or does it work "Over air"?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
yes OTA really works on the tablet. (I already downloaded one update on mine OTA).

But it is faster to download from the net.

Ramos i10 Flash tools & Roms (thnx to crisps)

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/4i3a0gsyrbwzo/Ramos_i10

Flash tools includes:

-IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.2.0

-iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.0.2

-ManufacturingFlashTool_Setup_6.0.2

The latest ROMs are

- 20140418 (Play store included in this ROM)

- 20140328

http://www.ramos.com.cn/download.php?action=view&id=456

Unfortunately all info and instructions are in chinese.
[Device Reviews and Information] JellyFilledNuts:
Thanks for the fast help.

And after the whole root and recovery process with Shuamne I am well trained in using programs which are in Chinese ;) so that shouldnt be a problem.
[Device Reviews and Information] RyuKurisu:
So basically this means that with the latest OTA we don't even have to jump through hoops to get the Google Play Store on the device?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I think the OTAs come slower than the actually firmwares on the Ramos webpage. So the best would be to download the latest full ROM from Ramos and flash it. If the whole ROM will be sent out via OTA, or if the updates will give the same, I don't know.
[Device Reviews and Information] RyuKurisu:
Alright thanks man!

I'll just wait to see if there will be a new Nexus 10 will be announced at Google I/O this month. If not I'll probably will be getting this because I don't think the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ isn't worth twice as much (as the only real competitor).

I10 Brick

My Ramos i10 has brick. One reaches the logo "i10" and then stops. I think it was to edit the "framework-res.apk" file.

* I try Flash 2014/04/18, but I get error 5% and do not know why.

I think it's ports.

Is there a manual in English instead of Chinese?

Are you will ever work program update?

Could you explain?

It seems a bit complicated

thanks

And can upload the UPDATE.ZIP for me???
[Device Reviews and Information] JellyFilledNuts:
I cant upload them atm, because my i10 is already on the newest Version. But I will do it when I get an update.

Also it seems we have to many questions but only a few answers...^^
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I think I have one, but the OTA I downloaded was some month ago, so I think it is older than your ROM? What do you want with it?
[Device Reviews and Information] crisps:
[MENTION=5270979]s7L[/MENTION]yer

1. For my personal collection. :)

2. The update.zip file is easier to edit things in the rom.

In the flash rom or fastboot rom it is harder to edit the rom. Because i am on Win7 and i cannot repack the system.img

Are u on the latest rom???

If not there must be a OTA update for u with the latest rom??

Hi all,

got my i10 a couple of days ago.

Overall I'm happy with it. Except one weak point.

WLAN is rather poor. Compared to my other devices ( Touchpad, iPad, samsung S3, Xiaocai X9, Lenovo X3) it has lowest level.

Where other devices has still WLAN access, i10 quits already.

Even close to wireless router (CISCO), reception is never "excellent" !!!

What's about your i10 / experiences ?

Cheers

TuppesCol
[Device Reviews and Information] JellyFilledNuts:
Yeah, I feel just as you. Its a pretty nice device, but the Wlan isn't the best. Its not possible for me to download big data packages for example because the i10 is losing the connection sometimes for a few seconds. But I can live with it ;D

Also it was for me the wrong decision to buy the ramos i10. Atm the Onda V975i is way superior: Wlan is better, Resolutiin is higher, and it has the new Quadcore Intel Processor which gives you 30000 points in Antutu for example. So iam trying to sell my i10 to my brother to get the Onda instead.
